Is it possible to run SP1 on mac (I don`t have the SP2 disc)
Or i have to get Vista/The SP2 Disc?
Also if i need SP2 is it that it will go crazy since the drivers don`t work or what?
Thanks!
PS: The SP1 Disc Is Professional edition

You can slipstream sp2 into the Xp install disc. Xpcreate has worked well in the past for me.

It means that you will take your install disc, combine them with the SP2 files, and make a new installation disc that has SP2 and can be used with bootcamp.

Thanks rollcage.
I was that wondering for when i get my mac in a few weeks.
EDIT: Well its needs a DVD and my drive dosent work with DVD`s so looks like its Vista for me.

it needs a CD and wouldn't you rather go buy a cheap Cd burner and blank CDs rather than vista?

No i have a SP1 Disc But My PC CANT burn to DVD`s.
And i said its Vista for me becouse my dad has a PC witch gets Vista free.
So ill see if we can get a CD when he upgrades.

http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windo..._slipstream.asp is a good guid for putting SP2 on SP1 install disks and it only requires your PC to burn CDs if you cant burn CDs than vista is the way to go
