Step 2:

Install Windows

Read and follow these instructions for installing Windows on your Mac computer. Refer
to your Windows documentation for general information about installing and setting
up Windows.

Important:

Unless you’re using a portable computer, you’ll need a USB keyboard and

mouse during installation.

Important:

If your computer doesn’t have a built-in optical disc drive, you must install

Windows and Windows drivers using a compatible external optical drive.

You can install any of the following versions of Windows:

Â

Windows XP Home Edition or Professional

Â

Windows Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, or Ultimate

Important:

You must use a single full-install Windows installation disc (Service Pack 2

or later is required for Windows XP installations). Do not install an earlier version of
Windows XP and attempt to update it later to SP2.
