Hi guys, I'm having a bit of 'moment' trying install Windows.

I printed off the bootcamp instructions, and followed them to the letter. I created the partition, and the Macbook restarted as per the instructions. However, the 'Windows Installer' never started, so I don't know where I'm supposed to go from here.

I've tried searching for it, but haven't had any luck.

Any ideas? :\

Does the DVD spin up? Do you see anything on the screen? I ask because the problem may be with the disc or the drive.

Hi - Thanks for your reply - It's sorted now, the issue was that I had a USB thumb drive still in the computer, so that was causing it to not boot from the disc....

Anyway, all sorted now! One question though, if I may - Is there a way to get the trackpad to react as it does in OSX? As in, I can click links and things by just tapping the trackpad, instead of actually pressing it down?

In the BC control panel, there should be an option to configure the trackpad.
