I can't wait to try it out when they release a 64bit Intel PowerMac. Until then I'll have to just sit back and watch everyone else play with it.]]>Apr 5th 2006 1:56PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/05/turn-an-intel-mac-mini-into-a-windows-media-center-pc-officall/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/05/turn-an-intel-mac-mini-into-a-windows-media-center-pc-officall/
I'm sure someone will try it and let us know for sure within a few days.]]>Apr 5th 2006 2:32PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/05/turn-an-intel-mac-mini-into-a-windows-media-center-pc-officall/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/05/turn-an-intel-mac-mini-into-a-windows-media-center-pc-officall/
I'd hazard a guess that the reason multi-disk XP installs aren't supported is that there's no way to eject the disk until the driver for the eject key has been installed (at least for the iMac and Mini, I'm not sure if there's a manual eject on the MBP (would an MBP owner care to enlighten us on that one?)). You can probably get around this by using an external drive.]]>Apr 5th 2006 9:28PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/05/turn-an-intel-mac-mini-into-a-windows-media-center-pc-officall/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/05/turn-an-intel-mac-mini-into-a-windows-media-center-pc-officall/

They need Virtualization software built into 10.5 as well that supported booting that same Windows partition. That way, if you needed access while in OSX you could have it, but if you needed all the performance (say in a game) you would restart the box. I haven't run a multi-boot scenario on my PC since I found VMware and VirtualPC.]]>Apr 6th 2006 10:00AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/05/turn-an-intel-mac-mini-into-a-windows-media-center-pc-officall/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/05/turn-an-intel-mac-mini-into-a-windows-media-center-pc-officall/Apr 6th 2006 12:41PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/05/turn-an-intel-mac-mini-into-a-windows-media-center-pc-officall/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/05/turn-an-intel-mac-mini-into-a-windows-media-center-pc-officall/http://www.furrygoat.com/ for more details.

"I used a single Media Center 2005 DVD to install from, rather than 2 CD's. Basically, I copied the bits from both CD's to a folder and used Nero to make a bootable DVD."]]>Apr 6th 2006 3:12PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/05/turn-an-intel-mac-mini-into-a-windows-media-center-pc-officall/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/05/turn-an-intel-mac-mini-into-a-windows-media-center-pc-officall/Apr 7th 2006 4:52PM
