The suggestion by Owlwings about using a virtual drive is really the only option. I would certainly not attempt to install Windows directly onto the hard drive because it is unlikely to work. At best this would require a low level format and even then you could end up sacrificing a large portion of hard drive capacity.

While Mac OS X works well for most tasks, there are times when it just can't do what you want it to. More often than not this means running Windows on your Mac.

@DesirousDreamer I have a MacBook and iMac and I have Microsoft Word because they don't have any but I have it installed properly with the CD. But you're right if you don't do it right ~ computer can be screwed

If you don't do it right, it could screw up your computer, what is even the point of having windows on a Mac? Also, many softwares will not work sometimes if they detect you are a mac user trying to use windows.
