Creating a BootCamp Partition

Bootcamp is a utility that allows you to run windows on a mac. You can boot of a windows drive and it'll be just like a PC! Here's how:
1. Back up your important files manually or with Time Machine.
2. Open the Bootcamp Assistant, located in the Utilities Folder in the Applications folder.













Now it will show you a screen which will allow you choose how much space to partition for the Windows drive. Drag the bar to your choice, and then click whatever it says, like 'continue'. Sorry I can't show pictures of this screen- I already have done this and to do it over I would have to delete my Windows Drive :-(. Then, it'll give u 2 options. If you want to begin installing Win now, insert your Windows Install DVD and choose the reboot option, then click reboot. I you want to do it later, quit the Assistant. When u want to do it, insert the disc, open system preferences, go to 'Startup Disk', select the DVD, and click 'Restart'. Hope it helps!
