[QUOTE="Zaeyde, post: 686975, member: 59638"] Ok, so I've had TERRIBLE luck with Bootcamp. The first time, it killed my Hard Drive. THAT was quite a fiasco. The second time, I got a disk error because I couldn't format the hard drive through the installer. And now, Boot Camp can't even read the disc! I am getting VERY frustrated. I have gone through three LEGAL copies of Windows XP Pro, and I am NOT happy. Running Windows was one of the main reasons I bought a mac. The second disk that produces a disk error is because of the fact that it's a quick installer that fills in certain options for you, skipping the option to format the hard drive. Is there a workaround for this? The third disc is a regular version, but when I put it in the drive and click 'start installation' in the Boot Camp Assistant, it says "The installer disc could not be found." I have tried logging in as root, and the disc appears on the hard drive. I have tried burning the disc and using the burned copy. I am getting VERY frustrated and this has not been a good experience for me. What happened to, "It just works?" [/QUOTE]
