Leopard pre-installed, with only Boot camp Beta

[TomMac9998]

Right,
I bought my new MacBook 2.2GHz late November 07, with Leopard pre-installed.
It's only now that I'm bothering with using boot camp and installing windows xp (I have the disc, so I thought i'd try it)

However, when i go to launch boot camp assistant, i just get one message which says "Boot Camp Assistant Beta has now expired" and a "Quit" button - there's nothing else I can do :S

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this?

Thanks!

Tom

Something fishy here. I bought my wife's MacBook 2.2 before Thxgiving as an early xMass present and the bootcamp was NOT beta.

Leopard marked the final release of boot camp and the bootcamp on the leopard disk is NOT beta.

Sounds like someone downloaded bootcamp rather than install it from the disk. Remove the bootcamp or just run the bootcamp installer from the leopard install dvd.

back up disc?

I don't have the leopard dvd, i bought the macbook from apple, with leopard pre-installed.
would it be worth fishing out the restore dvds (or whatever they're called) which came with my mb?
also, how would i find the boot camp installer on the disc?

thanks,

You launched the Boot Camp Assistant under Applications/Utilities?

You have your restore disks, that will suffice

You can reinstall bootcamp from them. It's in the optional software bundle.

Okay, thanks!
I'll search for the discs, then give it a go!
