Windows XP Home will install fine. I've installed it into Parallels on
customers machines no problems at all. One install I had to use my own CD
though, as the Dell CD that came with the customers machine wouldn't work.
(Their serial worked fine though).
I did know of a person who had a problem installing XP Home, but there CD
was Service Pack 1. Again when they used Service Pack2 CD, it worked fine.
So I don't see why it shouldn't work under Bootcamp, if it installs in
Parallels.
Check the version of your disk and maybe try another one if you can.

Hope that helps.

Kind Regard
