Saphiresurf Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 your trying boot camp on a pc? that wont work. In order to install windows on that hard drive you need the windows installation disc. If you dont have it, then hope your uncle might like mac.

Beerkex'd Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Or install Windows XP in a virtual machine and run it full screen when your uncle is around. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/219638-bootcamp-help/#findComment-1477678 Share on other sites More sharing options...
merrick_drfc Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 All that BootCamp is, is a fancy partition editing software. If you have OS X installed and have no other partitions available for Windows there is a patched BootCamp assistant: http://rapidshare.com/files/299106305/Boot...p_Assistant.zip However the easiest way to do a dualboot is to back up all your data onto an external storage, partition your HD with the windows setup, install windows and then install Mac OS X. You WILL Need a windows setup disk though. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/219638-bootcamp-help/#findComment-1478664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssdcommander Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 Thank you for your help, but one problem, it doesn't support windows 7 64 bit. Is there one that does?

merrick_drfc Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Thank you for your help, but one problem, it doesn't support windows 7 64 bit. Is there one that does? Both VMWare Fusion and Parallels Desktop support Windows 7 64Bit if the PC has Virtualization technology available. If you do not have virtualization you can still install 32bit versions of Windows in VMWare Fusion and VirtualBox Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/219638-bootcamp-help/#findComment-1479891 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerkex'd Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Or you can use version 3 of Parallels, it doesn't need VT-x to run. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/219638-bootcamp-help/#findComment-1479896 Share on other sites More sharing options...
