[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1448637, member: 24098"] If your Mac shipped with OS X 10.7 or 10.8, there is no system disc. Those instructions apply only to 10.6 and earlier. You will create a support disc during the "Boot Camp Assistant" process, so be sure to have a blank CD or a flash drive handy. Additionally, I would STRONGLY recommend printing the Boot Camp manual, which you'll be prompted to do as soon as you run the Boot Camp Assistant program. This is critical and an oft-overlooked step, but one you'll want to follow since there will be times during the process when your computer is not connected to the Internet and you'll want to know what to do - a printed copy of the manual will be handy to have during those times. If you are running 10.6 or earlier, you might consider upgrading to 10.8, which will cost about $20 and negate the need for the disc. No worries, it's pretty simple once you have all the right tools in place. [/QUOTE]
