Hi guys, recently i installed Win 7 via boot camp.
Then insert the "Application Install DVD" which come with my mac, and install the drivers. What i face is that when it's about to restart, it hang at the white page. And so long haven off yet, so i decided to force shut down. After that everythings goes fine except the eject button and also i cannot detect wifi. Anyone know how to encounter this problem? Cant even troubleshoot the network problem. Someone please help T_T

Install your Mac OS X disc in Windows mode and run the Boot camp setup file inside the disc.

Hi All,

I am asking this on behalf of my sister who just got a new MacBook Air 13 with i7 and 8gb RAM.

She need Windows because some of her business software run on Windows. Besides that, she prefer Office 2010 over Pages, Numbers and Keynote.
*
Questions:
1. VMWare Fusion vs Parallel Desktop - which is more convenient?
For me i feel the same.

2. BootCamp or not? - I understand that we can just install Fusion and then install Windows 7 into it.
I use bootcamp for full force.

3. Windows 7 64-bit, Microsoft Office 2010 and some software - how much space we need for the NTFS partition?
My bootcamp is 30GB.

4. Office 2011 on Mac and Office 2010, exactly the same? Anyone used before? If same, I'd recommend her to use the Mac version instead of the Windows version.
Not same UI. I love Windows version more than Mac version. tongue.gif

What is full force? Don't get what you mean.

I mean for full performance to be exact.
If parallel/VMware the RAM is sharing half to Windows & Mac. smile.gif
