Guest bikedude880 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Long Answer: No, it requires that certain firmware (Mac specific) be loaded on the machine. Seeing that your's is not a true Apple product, it lacks the proper firmware. You cannot load this firmware onto your machine (I have tried.) Short Answer: No. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/30495-bootcamp-on-osx86-installation/#findComment-211264 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bikedude880 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 You could use Acronis Disk Director... it has a boot manager that loads up before the OS, only problem is it's kinda slow. This link has some good info for you: http://wiki.insanelymac.com/wiki/index.php...uides#Dual_Boot Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/30495-bootcamp-on-osx86-installation/#findComment-211405 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nijel Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Whats the problem with multibooting? I'm booting XP, Vista, MAC OS X and Ubuntu from darwin menu now. All on a single HDD. GRUB can do it also. Before I put MAC I used to triple boot XP, Vista and Ubuntu from the Vista bootloader with no problem. If I can get it to boot MAC directly without switching menus I'll be happy. Darwin is fine, but lacks customization. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/30495-bootcamp-on-osx86-installation/#findComment-212290 Share on other sites More sharing options...
