Dual Booting with Windows Vista Help...

[Scott Magouirk]

Alright, as many of you may or may not know, I have a Macbook which of course runs the dominant OS X, well I downloaded Windows Vista Business from MS through that MSDNAA program, and would like to maybe through it on my Macbook to hit up some dual booting. Would anyone have any experience in this? Any tips? If so, let me know. I'll take what I can get.

Alright guys, I have successfully "dual booted" with my Macbook. I threw XP on there and then put my Vista DVD in. I'm getting an error though when I try to install it's error 0x8007000D, saying that something in my D: drive isn't accessible... Has anyone else tried to install Vista? Anyone else ever heard/seen this problem? Any help would be awesome. Thanks.

This is all I could really dig up on the issue.

I got it all figured out. I am now successfully dual booting with Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows Vista. I honestly think it was the DVD I burned, because a buddy of mine burned his copy and it worked fine on my Macbook. Weird huh? Anyways, thanks for the help guys.

BTW
Vista is such a rip off of OS X, it's seriously hard to believe they got away with all this stuff without being sued.
Boo Microsoft.

Buttercup: Why do you do this?  
The Ancient Booer: Because you had love in your hands, and you gave it up.  
Buttercup: But they would have killed Westley if I hadn't done it.  
The Ancient Booer: Your true love lives. And you marry another. True Love saved her in the Fire Swamp, and she treated it like garbage. And that's what she is, the Queen of Refuse. So bow down to her if you want, bow to her. Bow to the Queen of Slime, the Queen of Filth, the Queen of Putrescence. Boo. Boo. Rubbish. Filth. Slime. Muck. Boo. Boo. Boo.
