The only time you will need the sl dvd is after xp is installed, once you insert the sl dv when you're at your windows desktop you'll probably get a list asking you what you want to do with the dvd, just select run setup.exe. You most likely won't have sound, so if you've got a usb headset you could plug that in and use narrator to get you started with the install. here is the very stripped down list of what you should do
1. in OX, go into the utilities folder (command shift U) and go to the bootcamp assistant 2. Once there, it will ask you to download the windows drivers but you don't need this step because lion is assuming you've got windows 7 even though it doesn't explicitly tell you that. So just check the box that says I've already got the drivers, and click next. 3. on the partition screen, there are 2 options, split the drive into 20 gigs and the rest for mac, or just split the drive in half. I would split the drive in half to avoid any future space problems you may or may not have. 4. When all said and done it will ask you to insert your windows cd and it should, barring your mac will recognize the xp disk since it is Lion after all, boot into the blue xp installer. 5. You will need someone sighted to select the 4th partition in the list, which will be labeled as bootcamp. You'll probably need to format it, and after you do, that drive label of bootcamp will not be there, so be sure you've got the right one highlighted in the list. 6. The install should go as normal, and when it is finished and you've had help setting up your time zone, user account and windows product key screens, then you should be at your desktop. Plug in any usb audio device you have, and wait for it to install drivers. 7. Press windows key plus r and type in narrator and press enter. 8. If you don't have any usb audio devices available to you, skip steps 6 and 7 and just insert your snow leopard disk. Start the installer on the disk and it will automatically install all the drivers for you, and it will want you to reboot. Please note that if your machine automatically boots into xp by default, don't panic, your lion install is not gone. To get back to lion as soon as you hear the mac chime start up sound, hold your option key for about 15 20 seconds and press right arrow twice and press enter.
