Hello,
I have a 4GB white MB, I want to run bootcamp & have a concerns
- I have XP with SP1. I know it requires SP2, what can I do?
- I plan to upgrade to Snow Leopard, how does XP be affected?
Thanks.
 
You can use a process called slipstreaming to make a new install disc that has sp2 from your sp1 disc. I have heard of people doing it successfully but I have not actually done it myself so search around on google for "slipstreaming windows xp install disc" and see what you find. I don't think it's that hard but the bootcamp drivers will not install if you do not have sp2. And for snow leopard, your xp partition will be unchanged, you are only upgrading leopard to SL and not modifying your windows system.
 

Your link appears to be broken :(

If you want a program that will slipstream it for you, download nlite. Although you will need access to a PC to do it.
 
Thanks for the responses, I borrowed the CD with SP2, installed, looks good.
Here's the problem: I inserted the Mac OXS dvd on Windows, it said "the required resources UPDATE is missing." What do I do?
