Hi, I'm using the iMac in my sig and i just got done downloading Vista RC1, and I have everything burned, but when I booted up XP and put the DVD in it says "Your computer can't run this version of the operating system." Does anyone know how I can install it?
Got a tip for us?

Unless you have 1337 haxing skillz, you're going to have to wait until Apple updates Boot Camp to allow Vista installations.
Which will probably come with Leopard unfortunately.
It's actually Microsoft's fault. Originally, EFI support was going to be in Vista rather than just BIOS, but they took it out upon the Intel announcement by Apple, because they wanted to screw Apple into not being able to have easy Vista installs.

i had no trouble with vista on my mbp. Do you have the 32 bit version of the imac or the 64bit and did you download the right version?
edit: also i never had xp on my mbp. When boot camp assistant asked for the xp disk i popped in the vista rc1 and it started up.
