Simply partition the disk as you'd like with the Boot Camp Utility, and then skip the rest of the boot camp Windows. Put in your Windows XP Install CD. Reboot the computer, holding down option to access the boot menu. Boot into the Windows XP Install CD. Install like normal. When finished, you will have a fully working Windows XP install with no drivers.
Put in your Snow Leopard DVD and use the drivers that came bundled with that. Voila.
Hope this helps!
I know you said you don't want 7, but seriously...XP isn't even supported by MS anymore (I don't think).
You're just asking to be attacked, lol.
I'm very interested in these replies because when I get a machine with Lion, this is what I'm planning to do. I have XP Pro with SP3 on my MacBook1,1's Bootcamp partition. The 1,1 can't be upgraded to Lion so I'm running Snow Leopard.Haha yeah, figured it out myself.
Could use the Disk Utility to partition it. Then you can format it from there, or boot up through your Windows CD then format it.
Also, the reason I need windows is because mac won't let me install Warcraft 3 because it can't run a ppc application... Any way to circumvent that?
Can't you setup some kind of virtual environment and run an older copy of mac os x ( that provides emulation for ppc ) under 10.7?
no clue. But I bet that emulation can't run 3d games (parallels-vmware can't)./QUOTE]
Have you used Parallels lately? It has very, VERY good 3D gaming performance. I have a very low end Mac (see sig), but I could play games such as Company of Heroes in it.
Haha yeah, figured it out myself.
Should have more patience before I ask for help.
Thanks anyway!
