[QUOTE="SammySlim, post: 778154, member: 48298"] The Boot Camp instructions are very clear that you need a single install disk with XP SP2 (or SP3) on it. I would also delete the partition and start over with an SP2/SP3 disk. You are going to run into big issues without it. You can also slipstream SP2 onto a new disk with your Windows version (I personally don't know how to do this and didn't need to, but there are many posts on this topic in the forum if you search for "slipstream") - that can also work. Alternatively, you could install Parallels or Fusion and run a virtual machine with the copy of windows you have (and update it to SP2 etc. within the VM). A copy of Fusion is cheaper than a new copy of Windows but you won't be booting native. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
