You can have both Window and OSX side by side.

Then simply drag and drop the file. rclxms.gif

I not sure if Mac OS Lion BootCamp allow you to install Windows XP.

I've tried myself and found no way that's working.

Any sifu's here can help?

i had no issues playing dota with PD7.

Instead of mouse movement lag, it was jumping around the screen. It's a normal thing due to the mouse movement acceleration feature. i permanently disabled it with some command u can google up online.

I would appreciate your help in explaining more about the mouse. If I disable Aero, will it improve the mouse?

although i have PD7 and able to run dota smoothly with it, but i have just bootcamped my MBA ready for Diablo 3.

Playing D3 natively on OSX during the open beta weekend gave a very low fps between 10-20. "playable" but not enjoyable experience. so after reading many forums online, decided to bootcamp. now just waiting for my D3 to run on it. will update here on how it runs.

Your mouse worked fine when playing Dota on PD7? rclxub.gif

no problem, was ok. like i said, just need to off mouse acceleration
Ok, bootcamp n play diablo 3.

here're my MBA 13" (4GB RAM) on Windows 7 Ultimate x86 (i dont have the 64bit copy) settings:

resolution: 1280x800 (widescreen)
texture quality: low
shadow: low
physics: high
clutter density: medium
AA: off
Low FX: off

playing experience generally good and smooth. fps on land / town around 20. in dungeon / underground around 30. played with 3 friends, all 4 players and many enemies. lag abit when lots of crowd but very much playable.
cutscenes fps crazy high at 140+

overall i would say ok  smile.gif

so if anyone wants to play diablo 3 on MBA 13", hope this can serve as reference.

seriously I google'd around already. I can't find how to turn off the mouse acceleration in PD7.

Please I appreciate your help. laugh.gif

hi all, i'm having some doubts regarding boot camp,
when boot camp assistant ask me to insert cd or USB for the installation, i accidentally inserted the window 7 OS cd, after the installation done, i can't access wireless and other hardware on window. How i'm gonna fix this problem? should i delete the boot camp and run it again?

If you still have the Support Software that you download prior of Window 7 installation from boot camp.

You can use the software to install all driver needed.

hello there, i'm considerably a new user to Macbook air since March this year and i'm thinking of installing windows as 2nd options (in addition to OSX).

I'm new to MAC and find it difficult to run it due to many incompatibility than windows software.

I've tried to find the tutorial for installing the windows on MAC and for most reasons, i cant hardly understand the tutorial given, even after reading this thread..

Really appreciate if any of you could help me installing windows on MAC and pls quote your price..

I like Macbook Air and OSX but a windows option will make it even better..i'm running on 128gb SSD.

Thanks

You can always use Parallel Desktop. Means you can have both OS at the same time. Can save your SSD Space some more. If boot camp at least needs 20 GB i think for 1 partition.
