[QUOTE="The Big Kahuna, post: 801879, member: 77396"] Thank you all SO much for your valuable input. I don't have any other options to run games, as the XP I have installed for Parallels cannot be used with Boot Camp without the disc (which remained with the original owner of my computer) So Windows 7 it is. I've found the 2.0 drivers which are downloading now. I have the .iso burn of Windows 7. I know i need to download the 2.1 driver as well, but my understanding is I can't do this until I have 2.0. So once I burn 2.0 on a disc, and the Windows 7 iso on another disc... then what? I open Boot Camp and install 7? When do I install 2.1 drivers? After that? And are there any special instructions for burning everything on discs so that they are readable? I can use BURN, Toast, or the regular "burn cd" option from Finder. Does it matter? Sorry for the questions, but I'm relatively new at all this. FWIW, I have everything backed up via Time Machine in case I hit a button and my computer explodes. [/QUOTE]
