Is bootcamp worth it?

[phas3]

i have a blackbook and i really want to play lineage 2 and the only way to do that is to use bootcamp. I can't bring myself to doing this, is it worth it? will i mess my macbook up etc...?

If you want to actually play the game, it's worth it...

Just don't write over your OS X partition. Otherwise it's as safe as something very safe.

You can always delete the BC partition from OS X if it gets messed up.

But like TS said, don't choose the wrong partition during XP/Vista install.

If you follow the downloadable step-by-step manual (part of the dmg package), it really does the install quite well. I have done it to 4 machines now (we have some legacy apps that are XP only) without incident.

I don't have anything as demanding as games, so I pair my bootcamp with Parallels to access those apps when required. You won't need this though.

We won't help you with pirated software. Sorry.

When running the Bootcamp Assistant, it will give you the instructions and tell you to print them, do it.
