Boot Camp software for Apple Computers??

Hey all. I have a newer ( 2.2 ghz, 2 mb ram, 160 gig hd) mac powerbook. It has a feature called Boot Camp, which supposedly allows you to install Windows XP or Vista (32 bit version) on your computer. I have bought Windows XP Professional (the cd not the ad-on) and when I go into boot camp I try to partition the hard drive to install the xp cd and it won't let me, can anyone offer me any advice on how to do this??? Whenever I get to the partition drive part of boot camp it says unable to partition drive, please use disk utility to repair, which I try, but the repair button cannot be selected, can anyone help here?

Disk Utility cannot repair because you are booted to the drive that it needs to repair. Do you have another Mac, if so you can boot your PowerBook to target mode (hold down T at bootup.) Connect the 2 computers with a firewire cable. After you boot to target mode, run disk utility on your macbook from the other Mac. This will repair it, then go back and try to run Boot Camp again.

Other alternatives to this:

1. Mac Install CD -- If you boot to the Mac CD (put it in and hold down C at boot up) you can run disk utility from that. This will repair the drive

2. Parallels -- Virtualization software to run XP while booted to Mac OS X. (should not be used if you plan on gaming on XP.)

3. VMware Fusion -- Same as Parallels.

4. Install XP Natively and forget about Mac OS X :D (not recommended, as you obviously bought a Mac so you can run Mac OS.)

5. Disk Warrior -- Hard drive utility, essentially does the same thing as Disk Utility, but is more thorough.

If none of these are in your price range or do not work, you may have to re-install Mac OS X. This will format the drive, fix any errors, and give you a fresh system.

Good Luck
