[QUOTE="droflex, post: 954947, member: 133682"] You have the information now for installing it so I will give you my opinion on using it. I have XP (service pack 3) installed in a 50gig partition using bootcamp. I bought my machine used so I didnt have to do a thing. When I boot the machine I hold down the "Alt (option)" key until a couple icons come up. One is for OSX and the other is for XP. I select the XP icon and BAM! The computer boots to XP. If I dont hold the button down it just boots to OSX automatically. XP runs fabulous under bootcamp! Not a glitch at all. Just the stupid reminders and glitches that you would normally see running XP on a PC which is why I only run it when I absolutely have to. You should still get it setup with anti-spyware and such (at least I did) 'cause it is still windows with the security holes built-in. Maybe someone will correct me on that. All in all, it works very nice. [/QUOTE]
