As a matter of interest is that XP or Windows 7?
I have seen on other lists that people installing XP have no problems but
people using Windows 7 under Lion especially are plagued by slowness and
flaky set up so it is a known issue and not just my setup.

I don't know, I installed bootcamp and it went as smooth as warm milk
through a puppy. Windows runs fine, it doesn't slow anything down, there
are
absolutely no problems. Wish I could help you.

You may not find this advice that useful but I spent a lot of time and
frustration trying to set up a working boot camp partition on my I-Mac.
There were too many problems to list here.
The point is that after spending all this time to set Boot camp up, I
never
use it, particularly as the default environment is very restricted ,
especially with regards to disk space. It also takes an absolute age to
switch from one environment to another. Windows 7 Boot camp on my Imac
takes ages to load. Putting Boot camp on has slowed my Mac start-up as
well.
I am seriously thinking of getting rid of it. It is staying just for the
unforeseen sod's law that if I get rid of it there will be a reason
emerge
which means that I should not have done it.
If I ever need Windows on my Mac I use Fusion which is simple to set up
without the restrictions of partition size etc.
Increasingly though I use the Mac for Mac stuff and a Windows Laptop,
which
I am on now for work and Windows stuff. When I got my Mac I saw it as a
holy grail to get a single all in one singing and dancing
multi-operating
system. In practice , given how cheap windows machines are I think it
is
not a route I would now recommend. The only possible exception would be
a
fusion set up which can be convenient for occasional windows usage. I
would
stick to using your Mac for Mac OS, at which it is very good, rather than
Mac for Windows which it is, in my view, very flaky.

for
the bootcamp program. i have used a USB drive to put windows on and the
