Just wondering if anyone can help me with this - I recently bought a MBP, and would like to be able to run Windows on it. The only copy of Windows I have is the one which came with my Compaq laptop, now a couple of years old, and therefore service pack 1. I've read that service pack 1 does not work with Boot Camp - is this true? I wouldn't be looking to do anything fancy with it, just basic stuff.
I did actually try a couple of weeks ago to 'slipstream' the service pack 2 download with the content from my XP installation CD, but I hit an error message. I'm not sure if I was doing it correctly (although I was following a tutorial I found online) or if I actually need to have a service pack 2 disc. I also read elsewhere that some installation discs provided by certain manufacturers won't work for this.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
