Korrupted Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 You have to burn it to a DVD, or install it in VMWare.. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/18541-how-do-i-install-1046/#findComment-121287 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcConnor Posted May 29, 2006 Author Share Posted May 29, 2006 How do I install it in VMWare? If I install it from VMWare, can I dual boot with XP and use it without VMWare? Are there any other options other than these 2? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/18541-how-do-i-install-1046/#findComment-121301 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korrupted Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 How do I install it in VMWare? There is a guide in the Genius Bar on how to do it. If I install it from VMWare, can I dual boot with XP and use it without VMWare? Yes, most of the time; sometimes you won't be able to. It depends on your hardware, really. Are there any other options other than these 2? Not really.
