[QUOTE="simont92, post: 566567, member: 45290"] So I can just put in my Windows CD, boot up my Macbook, hold down C so it boots off the CD and it'll boot into the Windows installer OK? What does Bootcamp do then other than prepare a partition at the start and load the Mac hardware drivers at the end? Anything? I'll try manually creating a new partition for Windows using the disk utility and then running the Windows install. how should I format the new partition? I'd prefer to use NTFS over FAT32, it's much faster (I'm aware of the read/write issues). Can I just create a new partition in Disk Utility but leave it un-fortmatted and let the Windows install do the formatting? [/QUOTE]
