[QUOTE="M_Six, post: 1580871, member: 298174"] I've gone ahead and started using the normal Bootcamp procedure and it's working. It appears that the issue is with the Windows install DVD not supporting USB3. Both USB ports on the MacBook Air are USB3 and the Windows install program has only USB2 drivers, so the keyboard and trackpad won't work. I tried a wireless mouse and keyboard, but they also didn't work. She will only use this laptop for email and surfing and light Word editing anyway, so the 80GB of SSD space should be fine. [/QUOTE]
