Hi,

It's not really clear whether you want to run the os' together or side-by-side.

If you want to run them side-by-side, Then theoreticly it is possible to make an unattended install cd with your windows xp key and automate the windows instalation. It may also be possible to slipstream the bootcamp drivers, so that your computer comes up singing the first time you boot into windows proper.

If you want to run both os together, then vmware fusion handles an autoated install of windows very nicely, and the windows instalation will come up with sound that you can use until you install the windows drivers or at your option, you can ust use the default drivers slipstreamed by fusion. I must say I like my windows OS a little better with the added functionality of the bootcamp windows drivers.

Then there is a third option which is to install bootcamp and windows XP, and then make a virtual machine out of your bootcamp partician. That is really hardcore, but offers the best of both worlds for very little more effort than having one or the other.

Best,

Erik

Hi all:

Just wondering if someone could explain how to install Windows XP on a MacBook as a second operating system. 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
