However in my case as well as many others, Boot Camp works like a charm. Review the instructions, particularly the part where you let Windows format the Boot Camp partition. Also review the necessary requirements: - An Intel Mac - A 10.5 Leopard DVD (Retail or included with a newer Mac) - A valid Windows License Key - An XP or Vista Install CD with Service pack 2 already included. XP Service Pack 1 and Windows upgrade CDs will not work. Also, OS X 10.4 Tiger's Beta ended on January 1st 2008 and will not create a Boot Camp image anymore. Good luck

But no Mac will work as a pc…I’v tried with Boot Camp…it doesn’t work, will never work…it is just a great concept that can’t live up to what it should be.

The Mac as a PC is just crap…

Does not work….

But a PC and a Mac if you need to have both.

But no Mac will work as a pc…I’v tried with Boot Camp…it doesn’t work, will never work…it is just a great concept that can’t live up to what it should be.

Wish you luck.
