Your girlfriends boyfriend be...you? And if not, shouldn't you be a little concerned?

puting the disc in window, then i reli don't know wht to do, it kinda updated itself, well, it's said on screen when i was shutting it down with the disc still in. nth happened in OS, the Boot camp assistant is still expired...

plugz, there's a hell lot of work to clean up n install everything again!!!
earlier i installed Whatsize n now i hv Onyx, Whatsize helped me look for some massive files but with no use, n Onyx help to clear all the cache stuffs. They did help to clear up like 2G~!!!!

Back-up to external drive, wipe, install OS and restore from Time Machine backup.

Simple.

oh, a follow up. I reset the system time to 2007 then did the following.

Launch the Boot Camp Assistant by going to your Applications -> Utilities -> Boot Camp Assistant.
Keep clicking ok and continue, then it's done, in a snap!!!!

I reli can't imagine it's done this easy by cheating the system back to 2007!!!!!
