Question

how can i run windows xp with OS X v10.7.3?

I bought a copy of Windows XP (as recommended by my place of work) to enable me to work from home. The intention was to use boot camp to partition my had drive and install windows in the partitioned area. Unfortunately v10.7.3 doesn't seem to allow me to do this - it only seems to accept Windows7?

that's correct. With 10.7, only Win 7 can be run under boot camp. To run XP with Lion, you will need to use a virtual machine such as Parallels or VMware Fusion for example.
