Hi guys, bit of a noob here, i have a macbook, running tiger os, which i love. But sometimes i really need to use a couple of windows based programs. I have a copy of windows xp lying about. How do i go about dual booting them??
Thanks in advance

Either download VMWare Fusion and use that, or if the apps need more performance (games etc) then setup a dual boot with the "bootcamp" software on your mac. Follow the onscreen instructions etc.

edit: I have no idea if those options are available on tiger...... didnt see that before i posted.
