    It should be built into the OS somewhere.  However, you'd need a legitimate copy of the Windows OS  as well, and you'd need to install it---carefully. You could also buy a copy of Crossover or Parallels/VMware to do the same thing, roughly. Depends on how much oomph you need for the program. If you get Bootcamp up and running, you get access to all of your Mac''s graphics power and speed, but with Crossover, not so much. However, it's not hard to use and it's not expensive, either. Failing that, try Wineskin which I think, might be free....

     

    good luck

    the appropriate version of Boot Camp Assistant for your Mac OS X is in:

     

    /Applications/Utilities

     

    Windows does not acknowledge that there are ANY other operating system in the world. It does not recognize that it is a guest on your Mac.

     

    N.B.>> If you use ANY Windows-native Utilities to modify the size or characteristics of ANY disk Partition, your Mac OS X partition will be destroyed.

     

    Windows is a horrible guest.

    boot camp is a collection of 3 things

     

    1. an app build into osx which let the user partition part of the hd to be prepared for windows

     

    2. a bootloader app which let the user choose what partition to boot up

     

    3. a zip file with verified drivers for the apple hardware for windows

     

    1 and 2 are build in
