not smooth at all.. i installed Win 7 enterprise 32 bit

PROBLEM ONE:
when i create a partition for bootcamp, the partition cannot be formatted, i got an error saying that
"the disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved"

SOLUTION:
1) Install Onyx and do SMART scan.. then Onyx said that my disk dunno got wat (forget d) and i need to put in the Mac OS X disc to repair
2) Put in the Mac OS X CD and restart Mac, hold C when booting up
3) press next and DONT REINSTALL MAC, on top of the toolbar, choose disk utility, then verify disk, then repair disk
4) restart Mac and go into the OS, then make partition again, this time ok d..

some other solutions found on the net: (i didn't try)
a) install iDefrag (not free)
b) backup your OS, reformat the whole OS, restore and run Boot Camp Assistant again
c) put in Mac OS X CD, hold C while booting, then go to disk utility to make new partition, then delete the partition

PROBLEM TWO
when I want to start the installation, there is a problem saying that the drivers not found and no matter u press rescan or browse anywhere.. still not found

SOLUTION:
1) if u are in Virtual Windows, u can eject the CD and put it back, but in Boot Camp, u cant do it before u install windows and install the mac driver for windows.
2) restart the Mac and run the Windows 7 installation until the drivers not found didn't pop out, if lucky, maybe 2 or 3 times.. but maybe... (maybe because my CD is... u know)

PROBLEM THREE
After the installation, at the final step, "COMPLETING INSTALLATION", it looks like the installation is hang already, because need to wait until 20 minutes also nothing happen..

SOLUTION
1) just wait, i just wait for about 40 min - 1 hour.. then the Mac will show white screen for several minutes, then only successfully boot into Windows OS
2) I tried to force restart, but end up the windows crash and i need to install again and face problem two..

good luck to u guys...
2)

i m using colcasac.. so far so good try to google it and see whether u like it or not i bought at garage.. RM100 with postage..

hmm.. i face this problem before too... let me share my approach and u see whether it suits u or not

i didn't make any partition... i just make folders in my HOME(your name) folder or inside subfolders (pictures / documents)...
if u wanna gain quick access to those subfolders, u can drag it to the left sidebar / toolbar and a shortcut will be created..
all the applications installed will fall under applications category..

for windows, depends on what programs u are using.. if u really need to use a program that dont hv Mac version, then u can consider VMware / Parallel.. unless the programs require very high end graphic or very high processing speed.. then u hv to install windows via Bootcamp
For me, i have both , i using VMware bcoz i need to use IE.. then I install Bootcamp because i wanna play FIFA10 (my only game)..

For Fat32, i think it is quite unnecessary for me.. I install NTFS-3G so that my Mac can read and write in NTFS formatted drive and i dont need to access any files on my mac using windows.. just access to windows files tru my mac only.. If windows wanna read HFS formatted drive, just install Mac-Drive for windows..

correct me if anything above is wrong hope u get wat i mean..

got picture to share?

welcome to the club... 17inch.. great one!

uh oh.. any antivirus/antispyware for mac to recommend?

erm... why need to take out the charger after the Mac is fully charged?

i use acrobat reader lor...

another thing is.. Abode Photoshop CS 5 seems dont want to work on certain files in my comp.. i m having CS 4 at the same time.. will that be the cause?

i think i know why my MBP beachball heavily already.. i found out that everytime i on chinese character and start typing.. after a while.. the Mac become laggy until i quit the process of chinese character tru activity monitors. then everything become ok..

anyone experience this?

hey guys.. anyone using Photoshop CS 5 and facing the crash issue when select "TYPE TOOL" ?

i just solved it by validate all the fonts using FontBook.. then deleted those error fonts..

but anyone why how it determines tat the font type is bad font ?

right click on the track name, then options tab, i guess u looking for this right? after trim.. if u wanna convert to iPhone ringtone, then u can convert to AAC,then copy it out and then change the .m4a to .m4r then bring it back to iTunes.. but make sure the duration is less than 40sec.

but before i start using Mac, i m using Audacity to trim.. i hv yet to try that in Mac..

is there any error msg before u cant read or write in ntfs? my ntfs-3g always give me this error.. i guess i need to start googling..

just share my screen shot..

welcome to the club.. we are having the same set

omg.. that's crazy!

have u tired that? my MBP still dont hv screen protector yet.. but then i am planning to buy one.. but i m worry that the screen protector will downgrade the screen output?

anyone uses monitor calibrator (such as Spyder 3 Elite) to calibrate your MBP LCD before?
