I need help in installing MAC OS to a MacBook Pro. Currently its running Windows XP Professional. Is there a procedure and what files/cd will I need for this. Havent done this before. Hope someone helps

You have a Macbook Pro that is ONLY running Windows XP? And you want to run only OS X?

If that is the case, then you will need the restore discs that came with the computer. Then all you have to do is boot from the discs, partition the hard drive using Disk Utility, and then let the setup run its course. Within the hour you should have a freshly installed copy of OS X.

Exactly. Got 2 installation disks here. How to boot from the CD. Any particular key to be pressed ?

Pop the disc in, restart the computer, and hold C as it loads. Should go straight to OS X setup
