What You Need
Here’s what you need to install and set up Windows on your Mac:
 An Intel-based Mac computer, with:
 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)
 a built-in optical disc drive, or, if your computer doesn’t have a built-in optical
drive, a compatible external optical drive
For information on using your computer with an external optical drive, see the
documentation that came with your computer.
 all firmware updates for your computer
For information about updating your computer’s system software and firmware, see
page 21.
 A Mac OS X Leopard installation disc, which can be either of the following:
 a Mac OS X Leopard disc (included with all purchased copies of Leopard)
 a Mac OS X Install Disc 1 (included with all Macs that have Leopard preinstalled)
 At least 10 GB of free space on the disk you’re installing on
 Boot Camp Assistant (located in /Applications/Utilities/)
 Windows XP Home Edition or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later, 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 use an upgrade version of Windows and
do not install an earlier version of Windows XP and attempt to update it later to SP2 or
later. Use only 32-bit versions of Windows. If you have a Mac Pro or a MacBook Pro
introduced in early 2008 or later, you can use a 64-bit version of Windows Vista.
If You’ve Already Used a Beta Version of Boot Camp
If this is your first time using Boot Camp, skip this section and go to “Installation
Overview” on page 5.
If you’ve already installed Boot Camp Beta on your computer and used it to create a
Windows partition and install Windows, you don’t need to repartition your hard disk or
reinstall Windows. Follow the instructions below to install new and updated Mac
drivers for Windows.
Important: If you’ve customized your Windows environment, write down your settings
before updating the drivers.
To install new and updated Mac drivers for Windows:
1 Restart your Mac using Windows.
2 Insert your Mac OS X Leopard installation disc.
