Dual booting XP would be what I'd have to do. I hear that the Mac OS is really good for apps like video, picture and music editing as well. That's pretty cool if you're into that. Either way, nice purchase.

Yeah, I've now got XP installed on it. When it starts up it automatically goes into OSX but if I hold the command button it brings up a menu of the OS's installed.

XP runs great, I've heard Half Life 2 runs great on MacBooks so I'm going to install that once I can get Steam to recognise my god-damn account. I have the actual game.

Cabe, how do you do that, so it only shows the dual boot screen if you hold a certain button?

Its a Boot Camp thing.

So you can't do it on custom built computers and what not?

Also, on the subject of Operating Systems, if I format the partition that Windows Vista Ultimate is installed on, than install Windows Vista Home Professional or w/e, will the dualboot OS screen have 2 Vistas and 1 XP, or 1 XP and 1 Vista?

Cabe · 09-07-2007, 01:59 PM

If you format the hard drive/partition that Ultimate is on then it'll delete it completely. Installing another copy of Vista would mean you would get 1 XP and 1 Vista at the boot screen.

bamhm182 · 09-07-2007, 10:00 PM

Ok, just making sure because I've formatted the Vista partition and gave it back to XP at one time, and from than on it asked if I wanted to boot Vista or XP, even though I just had XP on there. I eventually got rid of that by just formatting the whole harddrive that I had my operating systems on.

Yeah, you need a NSU, or NUS whatever it is, card. You get them when going to college and im not too sure about Uni, but i guess something similar.
