Zizou Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Bootcamp requires EFI. Efi is not used on most mobos, we still use the good 'ol BIOS. So, no.

diplomat Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 i've tried and it doesn't work like Zizou said. when you run Boot Camp it says you have to upgrade or update ya system or firmware (something like that) to run it.

Analog Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Just a question, but why would you want to install bootcamp? A hackintosh can dual boot both OSes natively anyways. Since it's a hack, you already have the drivers... I just don't understand what BC would do that you can't do without it. The only part of BC I would find useful for a hack is the Appletime.exe, which keeps your Win. install reading the time properly (since OSX sets the BIOS clock to UTC). You can download this and install it for free on its own, though...

AdamBeutler Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I wish I could install bootcamp so that I could use Parallels to run the bootcamp drive within the mac os or you could just boot into windows natively. I would love this option! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/45862-can-we-intall-bootcamp-in-osx-x86/#findComment-328285 Share on other sites More sharing options...
