Hi Kamal and all, >From your message below, I am going to do a dangerous thing and assume that you want to run windows alone when you run it and not have both operating systems running at the same time. If this is not correct, delete this message; but if so, read on for a tip or two.
You will need sighted assistance if you want to set your partition size to anything but the defaults provided by bootcamp and you will need sighted assistance once the windows installation starts. There is a guide for using bootcamp to install windows, but essentually, you start the process by launching the booot camp assistant from the utilities folder. follow the onscreen instructions. I can send you the guide if you don't have it. When the windows installation is finished, insert your leopard cd while windows is running and install the drivers for supporting windows on your mac, this is sound video, wireless bluetooth and a host of other things. you will have no sound till this is done. Once windows is installed, you can choose which os you want to run by default from either windows or mac os sides. It's easiest to do it from the mac os side though. To select an os, you hold down the option key as the mac chimes at start up, release it after a few seconds and then right arrow to choose the os that is not chosen as default. To run the default os you have chosen to have run automatically at start up, just start the mac in the normal way.

Also do you need sighted assistance to choose which operating system you want to boot from when you start your notebook. ? I am assuming that I am able to use my windows screen reader when i load Windows OSÉ Thanks, Kamal
