[QUOTE="GrimZ, post: 1297067, member: 172886"] Hey everyone, I just have a quick question regarding using bootcamp to install Win7 Home 64 bit on my Macbook Pro (Lion OS). I need to install Windows for college, so I have been checking out bootcamp tutorial sites to get some insight on how to go about it first. The one thing that is confusing me is the part where you need to insert the OSX disks after the Windows install in order to get the drivers and things. Since Lion is a digital download, there is no disk available for it. I have my Snow Leopard disks, but I'm assuming that's irrelevant now that I have Lion. So, when I get to that portion of the bootcamp process, what do I do? Also, I figure since I need Windows for school I might as well game on that portion of it, so what partition size would be adequate for gaming? (I have a like 450+gb of free space left on my Mac HD) Thanks for the help! [/QUOTE]
