Hi lew,

Thanks for your message. Fantastic, I will go and have a look at the main
menu archives.  Also, thanks for the warning about boot camp.  I had
intended to use that and I should have included that fact in my original
message.  I gather that this other product is not free?  I am assuming it is
from the same company that makes VMWare for Windows?

Thanks again for the info and help,

David Truong

I would highly recommend that you use a product called VMWare fusion  
which is a mac application to allow windows and other operating  
systems to run as virtual machines. it is easy to deal with and is  
more secure than  mounting on a bootcamp volume. it is safer and  
should anything go wrong with the volume, simply rebuild it. doing  
things through bootcamp is something I advise against as you could  
accidently destroy the main macintosh volume declaring you mac  
useless. so then using the restore media that came with your mac.

there are tutorials to be found on main menu at ACB radio.
