no problem. you'll have a choice of installing a fresh windows system, or use ur bootcamp system as a virtual machine.

n yeap, it'll use ur mac's internet connection to go online. dun have to configure anything, no need to install any drivers

I read somewhere that you need a second activation key from microsoft if we want to use our bootcamp system as a virtual machine. Is it true?

errr i dont think so, since it's a single system anyway. maybe others can clarify on this

no u dun...i had same key for bootcamp n VM

guys, i've installed windows 7 32bit via boot camp. I've checked and it states that 4gb but only 2.18gb functional. How come it's so low?

hi guys, i've successfully installed PD5 and win 7 pro. I also removed my boot camp via boot camp assistant with no problem. glad it works. but somehow i noticed some diff when i played DMC4 the game seems to be lagging like matrix slomo..what seems to be the prob? last time played on bootcamp the game went smooth and fast..

that's because ur windows7 on PD5 is a virtual machine. it doesnt even know what GPU u have, much less actually taking advantage of it. another thing is that u're using more resources to run two OS at once

for performance, bootcamp is the way. i guess u need to go reinstall bootcamp again to play ur games

haiyaaa..need to reinstall again..hahaha..i guess i just go install fresh copy of XP la kot..use to play games only..can or not? which one better: win7 or XP?

mmm..if to compare betw OSX w/o bootcamp and OSX with bootcamp, does it has any issue in terms of performance?

Where can i adjust the scroll gesture on my virtual win7? The scroll is too fast hahhaha..

btw..i use PD5 with win7 just to integrate with ms outlook only..hhehehe

both xp n 7 are good. im not sure how's the new drivers for windows7 is performing though

OSX w/o or w/ bootcamp got no difference, unless ur HDD is almost full.

office 2011 for mac will include a proper outlook client, so u wont need PD anymore hehe

Same like me la ... use PD5 to install Windows just to use Outlook and MS Office suite.

yeah..it's kinda hard to use exchange mail on Mail though. Entourage sucks with all the security features and what not.
But if office 2011 enhances the problems i had..then i would not need PD anymore...hahhaha but still need to use bootcamp for gaming.hhehehe

Added on June 3, 2010, 2:35 pmbtw bro..how did u manage the delete function on outlook thru PD5? the delete func tend to act like Backspace function rite..and it wont remove the item we wanted. Instead of using the fn+delete to remove it..are u using that too or u hv a better way?

Added on June 3, 2010, 11:02 pmsomething went wrong..i installed xp sp3 on bootcamp. when the system restarts it wont go to OSX instead of to XP straight ahead. i had to hold option until the MACINTOSH HD and WINDOWS appeared to choose OSX. i had no prob b4 this using win7 on bootcamp. why is that happening? what did i do wrong? can someone help me on this..i already restore the partition into single partition but the problem wasnt solved.

Im using Macbook white unibody late 2009 version.
Yesterday i used bootcamp to install win7 64bit.
I partitioned 100GB from 250GB total HD.
Anyway i failed the installation. So, i dun bother it, leave it alone, will get win XP on it.
I saw the partitioned 100GB was full of win7 files, so i itchy and format the partition.
Now, i gt my XP. When i run bootcamp again, it pops up this:

The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.
The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows.


What can i do now?
Help >.<

if problem unsolve, re-format it?

Boot in Mac OS X. Used Boot Camp Assistant to remove windows partition and Windows then recreate back partition for windows and install back windows xp. It will boot normally back again.

I have bootcamp installed and it's windows 7 64 bit. One very straight forward question, is parallels or vmware fusion better?

solved..kindly ignore this guys..hehehe..

Hahahaha ... I oso dunno. Just right click and delete la. Malas want to do the key binding thing. The delete do function like backspace, even in windows. Everytime i want to delete something using windows explorer, always tekan the delete but it doesn't delete.

Hope he only itchy hand format the BootCamp partition and not other partition during the WinXP install...

Hey guys, i installed windows 7 on my mac using bootcamp. But whenever i install any games it can't detect directdraw or any directx. Help!

Im having similar problem too. Whenever i wanna update my drivers, ie graphics, it says i do not have the hardware...
