[QUOTE="richardcavell, post: 855495, member: 104243"] [b]Replies[/b] Hi, I don't have Boot Camp. My installation is 10.4. I never downloaded the Beta of Boot Camp. If I find someone with a 10.5 disc, will that work on my 10.4? I don't want to upgrade to 10.5. I've tried VMs but I want the Windows installation to play games and do some coding. Also, I have 1 Gig of RAM (and my graphics hardware steals some of that) and it's difficult to get both OS X and Windows to play nicely with half a gig each and a virtual machine stealing about 25% of my CPU. I can boot into Windows just fine as long as I have the CD in the drive. It's a workaround that I can live with, but it would be nice to let the hard disk do it. I'm using a Macbook2,1. Intel Core2 Duo 1.83 GHz. 60 Gig hard disk, which is kind of small by today's standard but all three operating systems are coping just fine in their own partitions. Richard [/QUOTE]
