I'm having a problem: I want to create a Windows XP partition on my computer, which is running Lion, but Bootcamp now only supports Windows 7! All of the workarounds I've found involve using a Windows 7 install disk, which I don't have and am not willing to buy.
So: Can I go into Disk Utility, create a partition from there, and then install XP onto it? Or is there some reason that that won't work. I haven't found anybody commenting on doing that, so I want to confirm that I'm not about to make a horrible, horrible mistake.
Thanks for your time!
EDIT: I should specify that I'm doing this for gaming purposes. A VM ain't gonna cut it (and yes, I have tried).
