A few things worth mentioning here, first, you do need an actual copy of
windows, a recovery CD won't work. I would think 15 GB is a bit low, I have
a 20 GB drive in my 2 pc computers, and haven't completely filled that, but
I would go a bit higher. Remember too that if you go higher than 32 GB, the
windows installer will not allow you to format the partition as fat32. This
may be important if you want to copy files between the mac and windows
partition. There is third party software you can purchase which will allow
you to write to ntfs volumes I think. Good luck.

15 seems a bit small to me because there is an 8 gb threshhold for safe
opperation.
To start bootcamp, open the boot camp utility in apps/utilities. You can
print out the uide while you are in the utility and then there is a
buttton
that begins the install process. from there, it's streightforward.

Subject: Starting Bootcamp
Well, I'm going to install Bootcamp today with sighted assistance.
The person helping me has never used a Mac. So can anyone please tell
me how to start Bootcamp? I'm assuming that the directions after that
will be pretty straight forward. She has installed Windows XP before,
though as a recovery disk for my HP laptop, not just the basic os. So
how long will this take and will she need to do alot of things this
time around? Also, is 15 gb enough space? I think it may be a little
too much, but I don't want my screenreader or web browser to run
slowly because I didn't give the thing enough space on the hd.
Thanks,
Tiffanitsa
