BootCamp requires a FULL, not upgrade, installation disk of Windows XP Home or Pro with Service Pack 2. BootCamp may also require that you upgrade your MacBook's firmware before you install Windows XP. BootCamp will notify you if this needs to be done. Once your firmware is up to date, if required, and you have the required Windows XP installation disk, you can run the BootCamp application and begin to install Windows XP on your Macintosh. BootCamp will require that you partition your hard drive, allocating at least 5GB to Windows XP. You should probably give it more, if you plan on installing any games and such. Once you've finished installing Windows, you can hold down the option key when you turn on your MacBook to select either Mac OS X or Windows XP. If you find that your Mac prefers to boot to Windows, you will need to change your startup disk back to Mac OS X by Startup Disk application in your Windows control panel.

You have to partition your hard drive and install windows on one of them.
