[QUOTE="Scoox, post: 732180, member: 68793"] You can simply delete the OSX partition. I have done it and it works fine. [LIST=1] [*]Install OSX [*]Insert Windows installation disk [*]Install BootCamp and set it to boot from the optical drive [*]The computer reboots, then the Windows installation process begins [*]During installation you can choose which partition to install Windows to. You can also delete partitions. [*]Delete the OSX partition. [/LIST] What I do is delete all partitions and then create one single NTFS partition. At that point the OSX partition is gone for good. Then I install Windows on this partition. Afterwards you Mac will boot into Windows automatically and natively. I recommend you isntall BootCamp under XP (this is on the installtion CDs that came withyour Mac). This will allow you to change boot order in the future should you need to, and to use certain features of the Apple Aluminium Keyboard such as the Eject key. [/QUOTE]
