OK, pretty much the same specs here, no problem on the specs. Can you
help with the post I sent before this one?

hey Shaun,
Specs-wise I'm running a 2.4 ghz macbook pro here with 2 gb ram and
the 160 GB 7200 hard drive. The graphics hardware escapes me, but I
can find out if it'll help you at all. For what it's worth, I've
seen Fusion running on a mac mini with way less oomph and an iMac 2
ghz now, and the responsiveness of Fusion wasn't much different from
system to system. Of course I could notice the difference between
them with big system intensive jobs, but actual press a key to get a
reaction time didn't seem to change much.
Hope that helps
Scott

If you don't mind can you tell me the specs of your machine? I am
about to install Windows using Fusion now. I paid for the VM
product so I maddest well use it.

Hi Shaun,
In my experience so far, your problems will start when you try to
use one instalation of windows and you want to start that up
using boot camp and fusion. The biggest problem I encountered
was keeping Jaws happy with it's wretched video intercept. You
might have more luck with Window-eyes. This problem will only
affect you if you try to virtualise your boot camp install, i.e
use the same set of Windows instalation files for both boot camp
and fusion. For a while here, I had boot camp happy with the
apple drivers, and then a completely separate virtual machine set
up with a separate copy of XP in the event that I needed Fusion.
the latter option has bitten the dust now, because it took up 3
GB of disk space for something I hardly used, the lag got on my
nerves. If I have to be in Windows, I want it to be as snappy as
possible so I can get the job over with.
Hope that helps clear things up...

So what I m getting from this message is that I can't install XP
on Boot Camp and then log on to the Mac side and install Fusion
with XP. Is this a accurate statement?

you cannot have both. If you use bootcamp and install windows
and then
install and setup fusion, your bootcamp is kaput.

Listers I would like some guidance on installing Windows using
Boot
Camp and Fusion. I want to do both, but I don't know where to
start.
What is the best way to install Windows if I want both. The
32GB FAT32
partition size is fine but I need help with understanding both
installations. Just give me the dos and don'ts for both Boot
Camp and
Fusion.
