Installing Windows XP or Windows Vista on Your Mac



You can install Windows XP or Windows Vista on your Macintosh using Boot Camp Assistant, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
Note: If you have already installed Boot Camp on your Mac and want to upgrade Windows, you do not need to reinstall Boot Camp.

To install and set up Windows on your Mac, you’ll need:

■ An Intel-based Mac computer, with the latest firmware updates installed
■ A USB keyboard and mouse, or a built-in keyboard and trackpad
■ Mac OS X version 10.5 or later (the latest version of Mac OS X is strongly recommended)
■ At least 10 GB of free space on the disk you’re installing on
■ A licensed copy of Windows XP Home Edition or Professional, or Windows Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, or Ultimate
Important: You must use a single full-install Windows installation disc. Service pack 2 is required for Windows XP installations. Do not install an earlier version of Windows XP and attempt to update it later to service pack 2. Use only 32-bit versions of Windows.

To install Windows on your Mac:

Back up the important information on your computer.

Open Boot Camp Assistant (located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder).

Print and follow the instructions in the “Boot Camp Installation & Setup Guide.”

To install Windows using Boot Camp, you must be logged in as an administrator.
