Hey Everyone!
I am sure this has been addressed, but I am clumsy searching the forums
Anyway, the copy of XP that I own is an upgrade disc, since I have had previous versions of Windows and I didnt want to pay full price (obviously). When trying to install in Bootcamp, however, I run into a problem because when it asks me to swap out the install disc for my copy of Windows 98, I cannot eject the install disc. I am doing all of this on a macbook pro
1) Why can't I eject the disc?
2) If ejecting the disc is not going to be possible at this stage of the installation, does anyone know a way in which I could slipstream the proof needed for the installation to proceed directly into an install disc? I had to create a new install disc in the first place because the upgrade disc is only toting SP1... and for obvious reasons Mac won't touch that. So, I am comfortable with the process, I would just need to know what files to grab from the 98 disc and where to stick them in the file structure of XP.
3) If I am either way off base or suggesting something illegal with question 2, is there another work around?
Thank you very much!
Chris
