7210211 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I finally installed Mac OS X (with no other OS) and want to install my retail copy of Vista... Could I use Bootcamp for this?

InkMaster Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Feel free to try but I doubt it would work since bootcamp was designed to work w/ apple's firmware and whatnot--- but theres quite a few multiboot solutions you could find at these forums--- for most however you need to have windows installed first Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42973-bootcamp-for-vista/#findComment-307115 Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcampisi14 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Boot Camp wont do the trick. You should look up some other mutiboot methods. The most Common is installing OS X with a bunch of unpartitioned space, then installing Windows to that. Im sure Im missing a few steps along the way.

SnowHow Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 You can install Windows in the remaining disk space In order to dual boot the two, the easiest way would be to get a copy of Acronis OS Selector, or use WinGrub to boot between the two.
