Since gorgonzola has said that discussion of Boot Camp should go here for the moment, let's start again with a new consolidated thread. I installed Windows XP home on my 17" iMac C…

is it possible in the future to be able to switch between OS X and Windows like we do a "quick user switch"? so we don't have to shut down and restart to get from one OS to the ne…

It has annoyed a few people I know that Boot Camp can slipsteam the drivers (from ATi/Intel/etc), but can't slipstream SP2 if they have an earlier version on disk. Requires them to…

Apple isn't slipstreaming the drivers, it's creating a separate CD with drivers on it.

Well, I thought I would chime in as I just finished installing XP on my 20" iMac. I ran into a couple of problems: 1. When I was updating my imac to 10.4.6, I installed the update…

This thread will be very usefull for will-be-boot-campers. I can't wait to get my Intel Mac so I can do this!

Just thought I would post... I have a 20 inch iMac with 1GB of ram. Well I went out today and purchased winxp and battlefield 2. I had windows set up within an hour! Drivers worke…

My XP installation went flawlessly. But I do have one question: When I boot into OS X, the Windows partition mounts in Finder with the name "Untitled." The volume is marked Read…

You formatted your windows partition using NTFS. OS X can only read NTFS drives, not write to them. I, on the other hand, formatted my windows partition using FAT 32, so I can read…

I've had great experiences with SP2. Installed the first time around without realizing my disc was SP1. Wasted a few hours there trying to figure out ways around it.. For Beta so…

I'm using windows now, currently installing the Sims 2. 1 problem though, I was installing the game, and installing and logging into MSN messenger at the same time, and I got a BSO…

I have yet to have a BSOD, but it sounds to me like some of the drivers need a little fine tuning. I've heard a number of people reporting instabilities like that.

I changed the name and icon of my Windows XP partition in OS X with no ill effects. I installed the demo version of Mac Drive to see if it would allow me to see my Mac files from …

OK, so i've installed the Sims 2, and it works VERY well - very speedy. Its MUCH faster than my old P4 2.6 Ghz/512 ram/ati 9200 w/128 RAM. I've never played the Sims and had such…

I've tried both solutions here's my take on the whole affair. I got the onmac solution completed a day before boot camp was released. Onmac.net's solution requires a PC, downloa…

Personally, I think Apple had this program ready to go for sometime now. I think they were waiting to see what the hacking community would come up with. When they did hack it and g…

Yes, my post re “Leopard, OS 10.5 Revealed” was indeed an April Fool’s Day joke. All of it was made (up) of whole cloth, and as many have noted, is replete with errors. To the ext…
