why not bootcamp? as I said, some have done this and all you have to do is burn a disc with a real copy of xp on it and the script. I don't know more than that.

Not bootcamp, any pc on which you want to install windows will allow it. The process is a little tricky if one doesn't know what he's doing, but it does work well most of the time...

I don't want to belabor this but I have heard that if you create a bootable cd with the script on it, bootcamp will allow it.

You are better with what you have. some say you can install it unassistedly and you can see the windows partition on the mac side but not the reverse. if you use fat32 instead of ntfs, you can write to it from the mac side but there are drawbacks to using fat32 for your windows install. Bootcamp will allow you to make the partition bootable, that is what it is for. when you use it, it allows for a choice of which os to start at start up when you hold down the option key while powering up.

hello all,
I have just red the different posts about this topic but I have still some questions:
I have now vmware fusion 2.5 and window eyes with windows xp and this workswell except the speed. 
It works good in explorer but it works very slow in ms office.
I have 2GB ram in my macbook and about 1500 MB is reserved for windows but this is still very slow. 
Is this to less of memory?
I like windows on a virtual machine because you can easilly backup a whole installation and so, I have always a working system. 

But, When I should chose for bootkamp:
- can I Make my self (as blind user) a file to install win xp automatically? 
- can I mount the windows partition from inside my mac?

- can I make myself the right partitiontable to install windows?
- what about re-installing windows or mac without destroying the other os? 
(problems wit bootrecords)
So, how flexible is a blind user to manage the whole computer with 2 os on it. 

I have still leopard but I will soon upgrade to snow leopard.


thanx a lot for your suggestions


best regards,
William Windels
