Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong!
I am installing Windows XP Home on my powerBook G4. When I
enter the part number as the product key the right arrow goes
dim. I don't get an error message. Is there another number I
should have on the back of the Windows XP folder that I dont't
have?

Sorry, you cannot install Windows XP on an Apple Computer.

The Apple PowerBook G4 is so named because it uses the PowerPC G4 processor. Microsoft and Intel go together (with a few side roads) just like Apple and Motorola go together.

Just have a look at Microsoft's product pages for getting a list of system requirements for Windows XP, which would be:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp [...] sreqs.mspx
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp [...] sreqs.mspx

Or was you post meant to be a joke? Your Subject line says you are trying to install "X" (which presumably means Mac OS X, their venture into Unixland). Yet you ask about Windows XP and post in a Microsoft newsgroup. So what is it that you are REALLY asking about?
