My XP installation went flawlessly. But I do have one question: When I boot into OS X, the Windows partition mounts in Finder with the name "Untitled." The volume is marked Read…

My wife put this on her Macbook Pro and it works great. I'm calling it her Wacintosh. I haven't decided if that means Windows Macintosh or Wacky Macintosh :-)
