Windows on MacBook Pro
Hello, I am getting the new MacBook Pro and I have some questions....
1) I dont have an "original" windows cd, but I do have a burnt copy of windows, is it possible to use it for boot camp?
2)Also can I use my current PCs' serial number to install windows?
3) Is there an ExpressCard or usb thing that can take input video from game systems like X-Box 360, I want to play 360 on a screen that is clearer and crispier than my boobtube.
4) Recmond any software that would allow me to retrieve data from a partion Windows such as http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive6/
For example I dont want to add my music files to both parts of the Mac OS and Windows partion space.
Thank You for your help and time!

You can't seriously expect help when you openly admit to piracy.

While is it likely that is is pirated, don't make too many assumptions. I have a copy of Windows XP that is burned to a CD as a back-up, and indeed, I did loose my original, and I'll I can use now is the back-up.
1) I dont have an "original" windows cd, but I do have a burnt copy of windows, is it possible to use it for boot camp?
YES - you could also use it for Parallels. But, for boot camp, it must be XP with Service Pack 2.
2)Also can I use my current PCs' serial number to install windows?
Well you can, but you will probably still have to call Microsoft to "activate" your copy of Windows. The serial number allows you to install it, but you must activate it within 30 days of the install.
3) Is there an ExpressCard or usb thing that can take input video from game systems like X-Box 360, I want to play 360 on a screen that is clearer and crispier than my boobtube.
I have no idea.

Not sure what you are asking here. If you use boot camp, that creates a PC formatted partition on your main dirve. I believe that you can still access that partition from within OS X, but I'm not sure if the boot camp allows you to read a directory from the Mac side.
