[QUOTE="Kash, post: 355791, member: 23444"] Ladies and gentlemen, Kash has come to the rescue!!! After doing a bit of searching, I found this little tidbit. Apple included a "little" change in its latest firmware for its Mac computers. You can simply just pop in a Windows disc into your Mac and load the setup process by holding "c" to boot from the CD. I actually wanted to try this out before I posted here. I got all the way up to the partition selection screen before quitting the setup process (unlike you, I like OS X :bomb:). It shows you the entire hard drive. So all you would have to do is create a Windows compatible partition and you should be set. The only thing you should do first is load Boot Camp to create the driver disc. That way you'll have all your specific Mac's drivers in one convenient location to install once you finish setting up Windows on your Mac. Hope this works out for you, despite my reservations ;) [/QUOTE]
