How to install Windows XP on a MacBook [1]

TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE ON YOUR COMPUTER

I'm using a CD with a bootable image burnt with Roxio Toast 10 Titanium. The OS is Windows XP SP2 Professional English. You can get a copy of this CD by going to a video I uploaded recently called Windows On A Mac : Download Windows XP and Burn Into CD.

My Mac has OS X Leopard 10.5.6. 2.4GHz 2GB RAM 250HD

My Bootcamp partition was 15GB and formated using NTFS file system with Windows.

Windows XP Product Key: DP7CM-PD6MC-6BKXT-M8JJ6-RPXGJ

WDGQX-WC2Y3-4R966-TK3H3-HXRB8

X3WJB-3B2BH-3MPM6-8F6GR-X9HBJ

Procedure [1]:
You are going to need a copy of Windows XP. You can get one by going to a video called Windows On A Mac : Download Windows XP and Burn Into CD. You can also buy a copy from any computer store. Next, you're going to open Boot Camp assistant and then select the amount of space do you want your Windows partition to have. Then you're going to click Partition and you will end up with your Mac HD and a BOOTCAMP partition. Then you're going to insert your Windows CD. Make sure it appears on the desktop. Once it's recognized, click Start Installation. Your Mac will reboot into a Windows Setup screen. Then some files will load up and Windows will start up. Press ENTER and F8 if you agree. Then you will select the Bootcamp partition on the list. Then press ENTER and choose your file system. I recomend formating in NTFS file system. Once done, Windows will copy some files in the partition. Then, it will reboot into the Windows Setup were you'll be able to change some settings. Here you will change network settings, language settings, user settings and you will enter you Product Key. It will finish setting up and then it will reboot. Watch the second video to continue the installation.
