Do you referring to the drivers needed after you install windows thru bootcamp? I think its in the installation cd that came with the mbp..

ask u all one question..

lets say if u let ur mbp on for 12hours,how u all charge it?

plug the adpater for the whole 12hours?

or charge until 100% then unplug..use until 5% charge again until 100%..

which one
*
I plug the adapter on for the whole 12 hours. Actually, I plug in 24/7. I only switch off my mbp every 2 to 3 days. And I calibrate the batts once a month. Once a week I would take my mbp to the couch and surf internet without the power adapter.

Anyone here using WD external HDD? I'm really interested to get the WD Mybook Studio Edition for Mac but I heard bad things about the WD SmartWare that is preinstalled in them.. Care to give some reviews?

@dvlzplayground and nabielz

So, you guys haven't encountered problems like a virtual cd automounts everytime the HDD is connected like the ones being discussed in this forum?

I'm tempted by the fw800 and the matching colours too tongue.gif

My wife is complaining about the beach ball once again, this is on a new Hitachi 500GB/7200rpm replacement that was put in last week. Anybody else having a problem with mid-2010 MBP/15, i5?

Found the following link about the problem:

I have the same problem but mine's a mid 2010 MBP 13'' C2D. Replaced the stock HDD with Hitachi 500GB. Glad to know that the beach ball is because of the MBP itself and not the new HDD dying. Maybe Apple will fine a solution for us?

hi all,
one question here...for Macbook Air...128GB SSD hard drive, will it be enough to install dual boot? means including win7?

or really need 250GB SSD? that to increase so little in hard disk space, the price increase RM1k ... :S

I thinks 128GB should be more than enough smile.gif

my mbp kind of always facing "unable to wake up" problem, means that after the screen went black, it will not come back no matter i press touch pad, esc, mouse click, close lid and open lid, power button..

the only solution is to hard reset it..

anyone know what is the issue?

I faced this problem once or twice before. Anybody can help?

Start Up - Asked to select hard drive

rather than getting the apple logo, I get the MacIntosh HD image (with the words MacIntosh HD under it), with an arrow underneath pointing at it.

i got no boot camp or partition. Just macHD.

Any idea? or any1 is facing the same issue?
*
I think you have to select your startup disk. To do this, go to system preference -> startup disk. Then you select your macHD.
