Guys, need to ask some basic survival shortcuts before installing windows via bootcamp for the second time.

When I bought the mac and I installed soon Windows via bootcamp, maybe it worked after all, but I didnt know how to return and boot from OSX, so I inserted the OSX CD and returned to initial state.

This time I need to know important things "to do/ not to do", so I wont get in trouble.
Now I'll read all I find on the internet and any help from you would be much appreciated.


L.E guys I successfully installed windows and just want to offer my piece of advice for whoever finds this post:

if you read all the manual there is no fail. the things you should remember however are:
- you must install the drivers from OSX install disc after windows installation, the folder is there, its only visible in windows
- if you've installed windows and dont know how to boot OSX, just hold down option key (Alt) at restart and you will be able to choose one of the systems to boot
- the right click on windows is actually using three fingers click on trackpad

thats all, good luck.




My following question is, how can I send a message, to all the contacts in my messenger client. I noticed its not working with Adium, nor with Yahoo messenger soft, but it always worked in Windows.
