[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1433021, member: 46727"] It should work. I have a genuine Microsoft boxed Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade 32 and 64 bit disk set and both boot just fine. The upgrade version of Windows 7 Home Premium will install using the Boot Camp assistant, however, you can not activate it without reinstalling it over itself. The likely problem is the disk drive on the 2008 iMac is not reading the Windows 7 DVD. I would try cleaning the drive with a can of compressed air and then see if you can install Windows 7. Since the disks work on your MBP that tells us they're OK. [/QUOTE]
