I have recently obtained a MacBook 1,1 from my older sister and it happens to be quite old. I have attempted to revive it with boot camp but my windows installation is stored on a USB drive instead of a DVD, and Boot Camp refuses to use it. I have OS X 10.5 Leopard installed. Also, I tried to burn a Windows xp disk, but Boot Camp wouldn't accept that either. Any help would be appreciated.

Best Answer
Windows 8 needs Boot Camp 5.1
Your Macbook can only run Boot Camp from DVD, not from USB [same for any Superdrive-euipped Macbook] & also can, as far as I can tell, only run Boot Camp 4.
That means your only choices are Windows XP or Vista, 32-bit.
