[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1223474, member: 46727"] If the hard drive is clean, there's no reason why you can't install Windows XP on it. Just boot the MacBook with the XP disk and do an install. You don't need OS X for that. Having said that, I suggest trying OS X before you decide to use a Mac for Windows only. You can buy a copy of Snow Leopard from Best Buy for $29.00 and install it. Use it for awhile. Also, something else you need to know.... If you install XP on that Mac, you may have a difficult time trying to find drivers for the proprietary Mac hardware the machine uses. The Mac OS X disk contains all the drivers you will need. [/QUOTE]
