Ok i got a macbook pro in the end of august and it wasn't working and had 3 dents by February. So i got it repaired and it came with a bigger hard drive. But i have partitioned my disk using boot camp it works but when i want to install windows vista it says the windows can not be installed in NTFS! I want windows vista not xp because i want to install my halo 2 and i want to get team fortress 2. So please help me with what i can do.

why did you tell it to format at all? boot camp formats for you, in Fat32

Formats in NTFS actually when you go above 32GB.

Im not really sure what you are doing with your MBP but if you just follow the Boot camp instructions you shouldn't have any problems.

Xp eats less resources freeing more up for your games, IMO if you want to be gaming XP would be a better choice.
 
There's a workaround to get Halo 2 to play in XP. Alternatively, you could drop $50 on a used Xbox and another $50 (sell your PC copy) on the Xbox Halo 2.
 
The fifty dollars were to be sent to me, whereupon I would buy him the aforementioned copy and keep the rest as a finder's fee. 😉
