hi, i just download vmware fusion 3 and install windows 7. how do i enable aero support.

macbook 2.4, 4gb ram and intel graphic.

intel gma950 isnt recommended to run aero. probably windows detected ur hardware n turned it off. not sure where to enable though ;p mine was in aero the first time i booted

Hey is there anyway to install windows using bootcamp without dvd and use an external drive?

but mine is not gma950. mine is GMA X3100

maybe you can go right click at ur desktop, properties (i think)

select aero themes

Hey i ran across a problem when i try to partition my HDD in bootcamp..

"The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved"

I tried searching online and still no luck..
Most ways is the reformat but i just reformat this morning and did a clean install of SL and then copied everything using CCC...

But now when i try to partition..i can't..Help!!

I ran into this problem too, I try to defrag, but fail to solve the problem. So I back up everything through time machine, and reinstall SL and create a new partition with bootcamp before restoring my backup from time machine.

what is ccc?

oops sorry, i always forgot there's the X3100 ;p

you need to format the whole drive, not just the volume. sometimes defragging works though. another way i read (but havent tried) is to resize the mac partition (better have a backup, seems dangerous).

lets say you want ur windows partition to be 30gb. boot from the OSX DVD and open Disk Utility, select ur internal drive, and in the Partition tab, reduce ur mac partition by 30gb (or whatever size you want for ur windows). when DU shrinks the partition, it should move those 'files that cannot be moved' to the end of the mac partition. after that, resize the partition again to the maximum size so u'll again have a single partition, but those annoying files are not stuck at the end anymore, giving way to boot camp.

again, i've never tried this method, juz read about it. but i think its disappointing that we have to deal with this problem. as far as i can remember, i never encountered this in boot camp 1.0. it came up in 2.0, and unfortunately its still there in 3.0.

carbon copy cloner. something like superduper

I ran into this problem as well, what I did was backup my mac partition with time machine, format the partition then restored everything back from time machine.

Hey i partitioned already..
I used idefrag and do a Full defrag overnight..
I just reformated my whole HDD and made a clean install of SL so i didn't think of repeating that step..

did the defrag part work?

i think it worked already... he did say he partitioned already...

i'm curious if the defrag already solved the problem, before partitioning

Parallels today announced the launch of Parallels Desktop 5 for Mac

Yes..because of the full defrag by iDefrag..
I was able to partition and install windows through bootcamp..

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if it's safe to hibernate Windows XP while in BootCamp. Anyone done that before?

And if rebooting by holding the options button, does Windows XP return to the state before hibernation eg. programs that were open are still open.

Finally, can MacOS still boot up normally?

I'm using Snow Leopard.

Thank you.

hibernation is something like sleep rite? if reboot then it wont return to the hibernation state.

anyway wanna ask...in Fusion 3, i only have a win7 virtual machine. is there a way for me to launch fusion3 without having win7 automatically boot? can't find it in preferences :S

Recently I just bought a macbook white (new model) with multi touch pad.
Today just feel boring and install a windows 7, everything seem fine, until....

The eject button, no function in windows 7..
Then i plan to right click on My Computer and press eject...
BUT!!!

Right click no function o.o
In Mac, touchpad right bottom is a secondary right click button...
When i use windows, become no functions...

HELP @@

I think you have to set the right click function in BootCamp setting in Windows Control Panel. Under the Track Pad tab. At least that is for Windows XP.

But my experience using the multi touch trackpad on the macbook unibody under windows (for right click especially) is frustrating. That's why my trusted mouse always help me

have u installed the drivers yet?
