    Hi all,

    I got a problem with my windows installation, as i got this OS from my university (download from the microsoft website) for free, therefore, it doesn't provide a cd for me. It seems that BootCamp is not able to detect my windows vista setup on my external harddrive. Any ideas, guys?

    i wanna play my online game on windows so badly now T___T.

    Thank you.

    Simple solution, burn a DVD and install using it.

    It's most likely in an ISO file. You'll need to burn the image to a DVD-R like ethanhunt123 already mentioned.
