The odd thing is that I tried to do this same thing with xp and bootcamp,
and it decided to be a thing, and not work with my white mid 2010 stocked
macbook, so I almost wonder if the latest build of Bootcamp simply won't
support xp, period.
This is incredibly disappointing, as though I love Windows 7, I really would
prefer! XP Pro. Speaking a Bootcamp, really dumb question, but, I wonder if
I could Bootcamp an installation of UBuntu 10.04. Yeah, I know 11's out,
but I don't really prefer it.
Chris.

Subject: Bootcamping with windows xp
Hi,
Just wanting to give everyone a heads up, that the new iMacs will not
bootcamp with xp. I have tried, and it refused to do it. An article that
has
been posted yesterday suggests that mid 2011 iMacs stopped supporting xp,
and I do wish I knew that before attempting...
I've tried putting in in VM ware, but it is flaky, unstable, and taking
control of the keyboard is iffy at best.
Quite disappointed, and it does look like I might have to bite the bulet
and
do windows7
Just thought you'd be interested in this.
Cheers
Naama, who wishes she could broadcast natively from the mac, so that I
don't
need windows at all
