Cameron,
I had access to sighted assistance with most aspects of the actual Win 7
installation.
At times I called a friend through Skype and had them give me a hand.
Forget about XP the lowest you should be aiming for is 7.
There's an excellent podcast over at AppleVis that discusses how to
install Windows totally independently via Boot-camp:

Thank you,
Sadam Ahmed

Hi. Speaking of windows on the mac, I need to reinstall windows seven
ultimate 64 bit on a newly created bootcamp partition.
How did you get around having no speech during the first part of the
process where you had to select the default partition and format it to
ntfs before continueing?
the unattended xlm file route doesn't work for seven for me as it
totally erased my drive by default. That option worked great for
installing win xp via bootcamp but I take it that is no longer an
option for windows seven or later?
Thanks,
Cameron.

Hi Ted,
Both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 work well.
Running Windows 7 myself but did utilise Windows 8.1 on my old clasic
MacBook Pro for about 16 months. ( I believe the new MacBook Pros and the
MacBook only support Windows 8 or 8.1 happy to be corrected on this point
however).
Of course another option is to wait until Microsoft takes the wrappings off
Windows 10.
The official date of release is July 29.
What ever option you choose it'll be a great experience!
Best regards,

Hi all. I have some questions about installing windows on a separate
partition. Since I am running a macbook pro, and only have about 40 of
120 GB available, Can I install windows on an external hard drive and use
it? Next, Since I'm running Yosemite, what OS do I have to go with if I
do this? I have windows 7 and windows 8 available. Thanks for any and
all input.
