Feb. 10th, 2007 10:49 amSo, after getting the hard drive replaced last year, I finally got around to re-installing Windows under Bootcamp on my MacBook Pro.
Used Bootcamp to partition the disk, Bootcamp sets the partition type to something funky, so Disk Utility can't format it as FAT32.. so I booted my Windows XP SP2 CD and formatted the partition as FAT32, then restarted the system into MacOS X. Then, remarkably, I opened the Disk Image I made of my XP install before I got the hard drive replaced, and *Drag and dropped* the entire contents onto the FAT32 partition, and restarted. Remarkably, after a Checkdisk, all was fine. Ran Windows update, since, y'know, it hadn't been booted in a good 8 months, and it's all good.
But, mes amis, the story doesn't end there. You see, the reason I re-installed Windows was to play Enemy Territory, since the PowerPC Version of Enemy Territory sucks. And so I find out today, that they released a Universal Binary of ET about 2 weeks ago.
Sigh :)
