Has anyone worked out a way of installing just Windows on say a Mac Mini? Partitioning the whole drive and formating as NTFS.

What do you search for as I'm not having much luck?
I want the maximum hard disk space available to Windows.0 -
<--Saying nothing about how weird it is you want to use Windows instead of OS X
You just pop the Windows CD in, start it up (I think holding down C at startup forces it to boot from the CD), and then install Windows just as you would on any other computer. The fact that Apple made the computer makes no difference.0 -
<-- agrees with Marty J wondering why you want windows rather than OS X
bootcamp, and give everything but 20gb to the windows partition... then you still have the luxury of another operating system if you really want it..
