[QUOTE="fifthmanstandin, post: 349842, member: 28508"] Ok I see now, however, even if there is a problem with activation and what not, it still should function properly and cause no serious errors in it's function with bootcamp and the Mac itself right? So the guy on the other forum suggested a firewire target disk mode, connecting the two together with a 6 pin to 6 pin firewire cable and then somehow re-writing his hardrive. I'm unsure about how the specifics go beyond what apple.com said, but the guy's probably going to give me some pointers. Now that I have both of the computers side by side on my desk it makes it alot easier to deal with. Another thing, I just checked to verify: - Holding C at the startup on shows the Windows XP harddrive icon, no mac at all - Holding shift for the safemode startup does nothing, it goes to windows xp logo and then to the welcome screen and then the desktop - I burnt a new copy of my os X drivers for his computer just in case there was a problem with the burn that caused it to stop at a certain point, the new cd goes through the installation and gets to the "registering product" phase at the end of the installation and says that the "software you are installing has not passed Windows logo testing to verify its compatility with Windows XP continueing your installation of this software may impair or destabilize the correct operation of your system either immediately or in the future. Microsoft strongly recommends that you stop this installation now and contact the software vendor for software that has passed Windows Logo testing" now I'm stopping the install just in case, would you advise I continue, windows has a way of making things seem worse than they are, so I wonder.
