As a rule, BootCamp Assistant always does the right thing, fetching the latest drivers and giving you the choice of install media for your hardware and supported OS. BootCamp assistant partitions the disk, but you have to format the resulting partition. OS X doesn’t know how to create an NTFS filesystem, but Windows Setup does. So, the partition starts out as FAT32, which Windows recognises as space that can be used for Windows if you format it first. Press “Drive Options …” or some such button in Setup, once “BOOTCAMP” is selected. In my experience Apple are generally quite ruthless in dropping outdated information, and calling it “Archived”. If the support article says that it’s archived, it won’t get maintenance, whereas if it doesn’t, it’s probably still current but missing information you need in your particular case. For example, the current BootCamp help pages simply do not explain what optical drive-containing Mac owners should do to install Windows. This is rather regrettable, because as things stand, most users will probably get very confused. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
