OK, i'll help here but this isn't really vo related:
1. go into applications>utilities>bootcamp assistant.
2. follow the instructions to create a bootcamp partition for windows.
3. Asuming you're familiar with windows unattended installs, create a answer file for your system of choice, that will not wipe the disk and that will install to disk0 partition 3. 4. Put in your unattended cd, startup the computer, and hold down the C key when you hear the apple chime sound. Press a key when the disk spins up and wate for windows to install. 5. ONce windows is installed, you will have no sound; so plug in some kind of plug and play USB audio device 6. Put in your snow leopard dvd (or the install disk that came with your mac). The bootcamp software install should appear
7. follow the instructions.
8. Restart, and you're all done; update, activate, and install any required software
9. TO startup from the mac:
1. hold down option as the computer boots.
2. press enter for windows, or right and enter for the mac.
3. to set mac as the default, go into the mac, in to system prefferences, and click startup disk. Select 'macintosh hd'

That's roughly how to do it. As this is not VO related, please contact me off list if you have any more questions.

It might don't know for sure. I just heard about it and they say it works
Someone will have to investigate and try it. Of course this would not be a
free test.

But the problem is you have to activate both instances, the bootcamp and
the
vmware fusion or whatever, I see this as a potential problem -- if you
import a bootcamp image to vmware fusion, I am pretty sure it will ask you
to reactivate because the virtual hardware is different.

Hi, I heard about this on another list and what I understand is it is
from one of the virtual windows company and you are aloud to do this
because you can't boot from boot camp and run the virtual windows at
the same time. Or run the virtual window and boot from boot camp at
the same time. So some how it see it as one windows installed. I think it
was fusion but not sure.

You could, but the activation won't work i.e. Microsoft may wonder
that you have two different activations with the same product key.
