Windows is running natively (I think) because it is on a separate Mac partition that is formatted NTFS That's correct!! The Macmini1,1 (early 2006) OS X 10.6.8 is not supported for the Boot Camp install That is also correct. Same for me with my Macbook. But Boot Camp was supported early on as a sort of "trial/beta" basis so if you were able to create that "Utilities" CD during that time then you are set for future installs of Windows. For me: 1)Use Windows install disk to format entire drive (one partition) as NTFS. 2)Install Windows (XP in my case for SC usage....my Macbook does not support Win7) 3)Use "Utilities" CD to sync Windows with Mac hardware. 4)Use Linux Mint DVD to create dual boot system with Linux Mint/Windows Why Linux? For "sensitive" material because Apple no longer supports OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) http://www.computerworld.com/article/2487996/malware-vulnerabilities/apple-retires-snow-leopard-from-support--leaves-1-in-5-macs-vulnerable-to-at.html
