Hey guys, im new to the mac OS and applications, i've been a windows/pc fanboy for ages now but i needed to get a macbook pro to take to uni with me so id be able to use software such as final cut etc.
Anyways, i can't be doing with having a computer i can't game on so i want to get XP going on a separate partition with this bootcamp thing, i've got a ****** copy of xp pro but when i went to install it i got stuck at a black dos-like screen and nothing happened. After much messing about i managed to get the disc to eject and got it to boot back in to OSX.
I've heard from some people that you absolutley have to have a legitimate copy of windows to get boot camp to work, is this true?
I also have a legitimate OEM copy of xp home but that is installed on my desktop pc, if i install this on bootcamp i run the risk of microsoft not letting me activate it don't i?
Thanks guys
