    I just purchased the MBP and can't get Boot Camp up.
    I have updated OSx to 10.4.6 and have updated the firmware as well.
    I can't seem to find where it is installed.

    What do you have in terms of software (have you downloaded Boot Camp and burned it to a CD, an original copy of XP, etc.)? In addition, have you followed the steps on Apple's site?

    I'm sorry I was so confusing. I had downloaded Boot Camp to the Desktop, and installed it.
    Having never used any Mac OS before, I could not find where the program had installed to, it wasn't on the Desktop.
    I did eventually find it in Appliications...Utilities and am currently burning the OS X Driver CD, then will install XP Pro with SP2. So far very easy.......once I found it that is.
    Anyway thanks for the speedy responses, I do appreciate it.

    Well, XP is up and running like a top.
    I must say, this machine is a work of art!
    So gorgeous,fast, quite and even running cooler than the Toshibe Satellite 5105-S901 it just replaced.
    As well the opportnity to discover OS X.
    I am still in a state of amazement at this beauty.
    Full review to follow soon.
