any1 can help??

i m looking for help in installing windows vista using bootcamp =) any successor willing to help?

you just run the bootcamp program in your mac and follow the instruction on screen, then after installation of windows just put in your leopard dvd for the driver.

need help here, plsss.

I just got a macbook 3 days ago. I had my company's helpdesk tech to install boot camp and winxp pro. I later realized that it was not completely what i had wanted

Current setup, my HD was partitioned as follows:
Partition 1: Mac OSX @ 125GB
Partition 2: WINXP @125GB

as a result, WinXP unable to read documents in MAC os.

I want to resize the both partitions and create an FAT32 parttion to store the documents.
Partition 1: MAC OSX @ 70GB
Partition 2: WINXP (NTFS) @ 70GB
Partition 3: My Doc (FAT32) @ 110 GB

I don't want to reinstall the WINXP portion. Is there any good and easy way to get this done?

You can run the bootcamp program again in mac to resize or delete the partition.

Is just a few click and you are done.

yes, i know but i'll lose everything on WINXP and have to reinstall, correct?

I don't think that resize will effect your data in winXP but i m not sure.

Here is some apps you can use in your mac to resize your bootcamp partition, iPartition, CampTune but these programs is not free, you need to pay for it.

Or you can do it this way, use WinClone, is a freeware, and follow the instruction provided.

1.Convert your Windows partition to NTFS, if it isn't already
2.Clone the partition (with Winclone) to an external drive
3.Using Boot Camp Assistant, delete the old Windows partition
4.Relaunch it and create a new, larger partition
5.Cancel the install when prompted (choose Quit and Install Later)
6.Restore the clone you made earlier to the new, larger partition

Hey guys,

I was just wondering if virtualisation softwares (eg VMware Fusion) compared to Boot Camp will produce a better result for gaming.

Let's say I have a Santa Rosa chipset of a BlackBook, CPU runs at 35 watts and with 2GB of RAM, will games run faster on VMware or Boot Camp?

Because if I'm running on VMware itself, the majority of the RAM will be used up by VMware to just run Windows XP, so in theory Boot Camp should be faster in that sense right?

But then again, I heard Boot Camp is designed to only use up a portion of RAM and not more than that, so let's say we have 2GB of RAM, only 64MB is allocated to Boot Camp but for VMware, it can take as much RAM as it wants since it's running on Mac OSX itself (thus no barrier).

Just trying to clear up some confusion about RAM allocation and usage between the two platforms.

Thanks guys

i wanted a smaller winxp partition.
Did try just now, but not really working.

winclone , cloned the entire winxp partition including the free space.
How do i just clone the used space?

FYI, the image size using winclone is 14.6GB, but if restore, the size is 116GB. That includes the free space.
Some help here pls.

Here are some Winclone FAQ and Winclone forum you can refer to.

I hope these link can help you with your problem.

well..........here what i did.
- removed bootcamp partition
- create smaller boot camp partition (60BG)
- reinstalled WINXP
- used winclone to clone the WINXP
- changed Boot.ini file
- booted to OSX and created 3rd partition (110 GB @ FAT32)
- restarted , and booted to WINXP
- it worked

BUT

it took very long to start the WINXP. Everyhing ran fine on WINXP .
just took toooo DAMN long to boot-up in WINXP.

ANy idea?

was wondering whether can we share this software with few different macs? any lubang to get a p*rate copy? =)

Which app you refer into?
Parallels or the WinClone?

if you want virtual machine you can try out this freeware also, call VirtualBox, develop by Sun Microsystem, is an open source software.

For Parallel or VMware Fusion you need to pay for it.

guys....for bootcamp I can only run windows OR OSX at one time....and for parallel and VMware I can run both at the same time right?

no discussion on pirated stuff please,just buy the softwarelah and support its cause.

Since Windows and OS X reads the stored time differently, the clock will be different upon every bootup.

The easiest way to get the right time is to set each OS to sync to a time server. If I'm not mistaken, both XP and Leopard will sync to a time server by default. You will need internet access in order to sync the time to a server though.

If you're not connected all the time, you can follow the guides at the following site:
http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...iversal_for_RTC

Ya, for bootcamp you need to restart your laptop everytime you want to switch OS.

There is also an alternative to VMware and Parallel, is call VirtualBox, develop by Sun and is a freeware, you can try it out if you do not want to buy VMware or Parallel.

Use Zephy's UTC Time fix kext for OSX. I tried that with my Hackintosh and it works fine no more GMT UTC time change already. It automatically does it for you.

Guys, thanks for keeping this topic running and helping each other out there. Sorry I have been quite busy lately. Anyway, it has been a long while since I run PD4. Just working with Mac OS X is enough for daily usage. Everyone is eyeing on 10.6 SL now. Hehe.
