Hi George, just a thought, the little I know about this, but why use
boot camp, when a blind person can install windows using vm ware
fusion? It does cost money, but if you go to
http://www.blindcooltech.com
and search for the mac, there should be six tutorials that Mike Origo
has done for the mac with voice over, and one of them deals with vm
ware fusion, and from what I understand, if you get a virus, you just
delete the virtual machine that you will have created to run windows.
Maybe this was discussed before, so if it has been, forgive me, but
Mike Origo did an excellent job dealing with vm ware fusion.

I have an idea but I don't know if it works, say after I partition with
boot camp and format with the appropriate utility on the mac I can
connect the intended partition on the mac to my windows machine which
is running a screen reader with a network cable and I install windows
to the target drive on the mac with speech feedback does that work? At
least the very first stage which require license acceptance and
username and this stuff, I can also check the box that says use
narrator during installation and next time I reboot from the macbook
directly, am I dreaming?
