First, you HAVE to have a Windows install CD.
Second, download "Boot Camp" to install Windows:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/
You might want to print this PDF for the instructions (Requires Adobe Reader):
http://images.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/pdf/Boot_Camp_Beta_Setup_Guide_en.pdf
Read the instructions VERY CAREFULLY. If you mess up, you can mess up your Mac.
(You WILL NOT lose the Mac OS X operating system)

You can do 3 ways:
1. Install Windows on Mac via boot CD. (have not tried it)
2. Install Bootcamp to do dual boot between MacOS and Windows.
3. Install Parallels Desktop to run Windows inside MacOS.
Just my opinion --- If you do option #1, you just wasted a lot of money on hardware. Might as well get a high specs PC and install Windows.

Hello Runway Runaway,
Ignore the top four answers and just follow the instructions of Clubmember. Man there is so much mis-information here. Boot Camp is great. There's also a program called Parallel that is really good for the Mac OS X working interactively with Windows.

Best of luck to you.

Get a windows instal Disc, preferable XP Pro with Service Pack 2. Then install it.
You will lose your Mac Operating System due to the way Windows installs.

You're making reference to the project 'Boot Camp'. Though you can install XP on you Mac using this utililty, it has yet to be in a finalized stage of development. Because of this, I'd be patient before diving into this. Until then, I've included some links that you may view to gather more information regarding this project.

I don't think you can. Windows and Mac are different. Mac uses a DATA stream baced upon hardware, while Windows uses more Software. :-\
