What You Need to Use Boot Camp

Prerequisites for using Boot Camp.

1. An Intel-based Mac (MacBook Pro, iMac or Mac mini model) that uses Intel CPUs. Boot Camp does not work on PowerPC-based Macs.

2. The keyboard and mouse must be connected via USB or integrated in your Mac. Boot Camp does not currently support wirelessly connected input devices.

3. The Mac hard drive must have at least 10GB of free disk space. 20GB or more is better if you intend to install several Windows applications and regularly use Windows XP.

4. Before running Boot Camp, you must upgrade your Mac to OS X Tiger 10.4.6.

5. Before running Boot Camp, you must upgrade your Mac’s firmware to the latest version. Download the update from the Apple Support Downloads page.

6. A blank, recordable CD or DVD, which will be used by Boot Camp to create a Windows XP drivers disc for your Mac.

7. “Full install” version of Windows XP Professional or Home Edition with Service Pack 2 is required.
