Okay finally got a copy of XP thanks to the campus bookstore. Started the transformation. I printed out the 'step by step' guide from apple... (I found that there list was a bit off). But whatever I got XP installed and time to install the drivers so airport works and so on. Insert the OS X Install Disc 1 go through the handy dandy instal wizard and....



nothing? Can i just install it again or what should i do here? Also there is no 'boot camp' in the system try like the Installation & Setup Guide said there would be. Also a part of the installation it kept saying macbook air (which i do not have)?


Thoughts? Thanks :Grimmace:

i think the problem is the new hardware wizard. I'm going to try and just go through d: and activate setup.exe and see what happens :(

Yes, you would need to access it from within Windows. So, you'll either want to burn it to a disc or copy it onto a flash drive so you can access it from there.

Once you have access to the file, it's just a matter of double-clicking on the Setup program. Also, if you get any warnings about "unsigned drivers", make sure you allow them to be installed anyway.
