<= SPAN STYLE=3D'font-size:11pt'>Elliot,

If you don't need Bootcamp, have Windows on a separate drive, do you tell t= he Mac to boot from the Windows Drive via the OPT  or is there another = way to start up from that drive?

Thanks,

Jonathan

I've probably posted this before but "Bootcamp" isn't necessary t= o run
Windows on a Mac, in fact you don't even need to have an OSX system
installed at all. As far as Windows is concerned it's just another PC.

My advice is always install Windows on a separate HD.

I've been running Windows (& AE) on Mac Pros since 2006 without any pro= blems
so if you have any other questions just fire away!

Cheers

Elliot
