Soner Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 First of all, excuse me for my english, but i'll try to do my best. I got a MBP C2D 2.33GHZ, and i want to install the final, not beta, version of Windows Vista Entreprise. Looks like there is a problem with that, if i understood correctly, after the installation of Vista, it is impossible to get back to OSX. What is the point now with the final version ? Can i rely on Bootcamp for install Vista and switch easily between the two OSes, or i need to follow a step by step in order to have everything working correctly ? Thanks for your help.

erbic Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Vista will work without any problems on Boot Camp. Run the Boot Camp wizard, and partition the hard drive. When it tells you to insert a Windows XP install disc, insert the Vista disc instead and reboot the computer. It should install with no issues; just make sure you select the partition you created in Boot Camp. You will have some driver problems until Apple releases Vista-compatible drivers for its hardware, but Vista is very usable. To return to Mac OS, just hold down the "option" key when you reboot your computer and select Macintosh HD from the menu which appears. And your English is very good. If you didn't say so, I would think you spoke it natively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soner Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) Ok, I feared to screw up my OSX partition, thank you. By the way, someone tried the MacFUSE software ? It is supposed to add OSX the ability to write on NTFS partition. Edited January 23, 2007 by Soner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonpool Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I installed both Windows XP SP2 and Vista bussiness final without no problem. All the hardware works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erbic Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 (edited) MacFUSE is an excellent piece of software. No issues with it thus far. http://code.google.com/p/macfuse You may also need to compile NTFS-3g in order to get a NTFS volume to mount. I'm not sure if their newest package installer contains it or not. EDIT: It doesn't, but you should be able to find a decent package installer in the last page of this forum thread on AppleNova within the next couple days. Those guys have been working overtime to make installation of this stuff easier for us, the end users. Edited January 24, 2007 by ErBiC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
