Re: Bootcamping my Mac Mini
It's not that the idea is bad (I already covered it on this thread, in fact) but that, somehow, you need to be able to provide a bootable environment without using any optical media, and only using the tools in OS X. So for instance, you could get the MBR from an XP system, and write it into place on your disk. Then you could resize your partitions, resulting in a hybrid MBR/GPT system, on which you copy the XP installation files and a minimal DOS environment. Finally you boot into DOS, use fdisk and format to set up a second primary partition onto which to install XP, run winnt.exe, and do your install. It would require sighted help, of course, unless you first wrote a custom script for it, which would need to take account of your new partition layout.
All perfectly doable--at least, I hope so. But tell me, don't you think it'd be easier to just grab some blank optical media, dump the drivers on a USB key, and follow the BootCamp procedure (or do a complete w
ipe and reinstall from XP Setup)?
