I spoke too soon the other day when I said that everything was going smoothly with Tomato. I discovered that I was supposed to partition the hard drive using Boot Camp (not the disk utility) and that I had to install a version of Windows XP that had Service Pack 2 already in it. So I had to reformat the hard drive and reinstall the OS.
I have a set of Windows XP discs from when I bought my laptop, but they are pre-SP2. I asked around the office but nobody seems to have the edition of Windows XP that I need. So I've resorted to bribing my little brother for the Windows XP disks he got with his Dell, assuming he can find them.
The actual bribe, by the way, is something called a Mr. Accessory from the online game Kingdom of Loathing, which Benjamin loves. You can get Mr. Accessories with a $10 PayPal donation. I have a PayPal account and Benjamin doesn't, so he uses me as an intermediary to obtain these things. I figure that the promise of a Mr. Accessory will encourage him to hunt down the disks, since, unlike me, he doesn't keep his computer stuff organized.
However, if anyone else in my area has a set of Windows XP disks that I can borrow (I will use my own activation key, of course), I would much appreciate it, because then I won't have to rely on my little brother.
