elenore19 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I just got my brand new $2000 macbook pro. I want to put windows on it for gaming purposes. I have leopard so boot camp is already installed. I partitioned my drive alright using the boot camp assistant. One question: I don't have a printer so I can't print off the guide, is it pretty easy to install just by following the instructions as I go? Next Question: I have a dell install xp disc from my old dell laptop. Can I use this to install windows on my mac?

Next Question: I have a dell install xp disc from my old dell laptop. Can I use this to install windows on my mac? 1. Maybe write down instructions just incase... or try and print the guide off somewhere else 2. No you have to use just a regular old genuine install disk.

iScott Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I used my Dell reinstall disk and it worked perfect. Just make sure that it is service pack 2. Windows XP is very quick on my MacMini.
