alyssa Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I'm seeing a lot of talk about the new hacked version of Vista (bypasses activation) called "Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate x86 Integrated August 2007 OEM". I'd like to install this on my white Intel iMac 24" using BootCamp and would like to know if it's safe. Will it update the iMac's bios? Will I still be able to run OS X like before?

alyssa Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 Thank you guys. I was able to install Vista OEM on my iMac (BootCamp) without problems. I can reboot and start OS X or Vista without problems. I did find an annoying message at the prompt when I would choose to boot into Vista. I fixed this by downloading EasyBCD and re-building the MBR with it. (Not system fix or system rebuild or something called like that) The message I was getting was: "Warning: Unrecognized partition table for drive 80" So for that message use EasyBCD Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/60667-hacked-vista-ultimate-x86-integrated-safe-on-intel-imac/#findComment-431575 Share on other sites More sharing options...
