Boot Camp only works with the internal drive, and it has to be one big partition before installing Windows. Mine is not a single partition.

Also, 10.6 and 10.7 only support Win7 in Boot Camp, and you can't use XP (in Snow Leopard) on recent hardware anyway, because Apple doesn't provide drivers. Parallels on SL didn't work, although it's usually pretty good on USB support.

Rather than screw around with Win7, I just ordered a used XP laptop for a few bucks more. Sure hope it works for PRS+ for my "new" 950, because the default typeface needs Help!
