[QUOTE="Phoenix Scanner, post: 453135, member: 30648"] This is a strange thread. Bought a macbook to run windows? Huh? You can buy brand new pc laptops with xp pro installed for a fraction of the cost off the internet. Secondly I will bet you did not follow at least one of the instructions (funny how people neglect that minor detail often times). I dual boot xp pro and osx on a macbook and they both run flawlessly. XP ROCKS on my macbook! Mistakes I could easily see happening: Using illegal copy of xp or one that is not sp2. Not making driver disk as instructed. Not having all firmware updated as instructed. Not updating windows properly. Running ANY program while bootcamp is partitioning. Odds are something was done incorrectly. [/QUOTE]
