    No. That disk is for upgrading an existing installation of Windows to Windows Vista, and it's specific to the Toshiba laptop. If you think you need to run Windows on a Mac, you must purchase a licensed copy for that purpose.

    If you have a full install disc, then you can install windows on a MAC, just not backwards. What these people do is hardcode the operatining system to the physical address of the hardware. Windows does not do that. So you can dual boot, or i do believe you can get something like virtual pc and install a virtual copy of windows.

    I personally have not done this, but i know people who have.

    Good luck
