removing OSX from a real Mac?


3 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

I installed XP and I use it daily using Boot Camp on a real iMac. I do not use OSX for any time, it just wastes disk space for me.

 

Is there any way to remove it? Like writing 0s on the drives MBR and booting into a XP install CD? Or it wouldn't work at all?

 

My biggest problem is that I cannot use any drive imaging/partitioning program in windows or in BartPE CD mode, because none of them support the mac partition table. Can I convert a real mac into MBR?

I doubt if you'd be able to run XP without Boot Camp... Why did you buy a Mac, may I ask?
