  • Huh. This is disappointing. Care to show how to install linux on the hard drive, as a third partition, without screwing over the other two OSs? That way you can modify and save settings in linux and you don't need a cd.

  • you did know you can install linux inside of windows right?

  • I was just wondering, if you did get it working with all 3 on the hard disk, would the mac use boot camp or Ubuntu's built in boot loader?

  • How did you create the cd

  • @The12345hassanali1 Creating the CD is super easy, just download Linux and follow the instruction.

  • can't there just be a linux partition?

  • Hater : |

  • You can use rEFIt to have ubuntu as an option. Oh and you suck as a "computer expert" (or whatever you want to call what you are trying to be) so stop making these videos and leave it to the professionals.

  • @LaikaN57 Thank you for saying what Geeks everywhere were thinking about this video

  • Mac makes the sexiest fucking computers

  • I have to disagree. You have a very very poor review of one type of Linux distribution. Very very poor effort. You showed little to nothing of the system and you forgot to mention that mac wrote the code for its proprietary drivers. Linux has to guess what the fuck your trying to install it on and then do what it can with what its given. Then again Linux can run on a pc as well... Anyway that was a very very poor effort.

  • dude

    pronounced

    "oo-bun-too"

    or

    "you-bun-too"

    not umbutu or whatever the hell you were saying :D

  • hahahaha your so right

  • the way he said it was actually correct (or at least closer) from the native pronunciation and syllabic emphasis.

  • oh wait disregard that i was going from the first time he said it

  • hallelujah!

  • @chunky9407

    ou-boon-tu

  • Running linux off a CD is NOT interesting. Try installing Ubuntu using wubi (or Linux Mint using its equivalent Windows installer, whose name I forgot).

  • wont work because wubi uses the windows boot loader, and seeming as its a mac it does not use the windows boot loader

  • Actually, it's "Ubuntu", not "Mbutu". lol :D

    Cool vid, thx :) Might get a Mac with XP just to piss people off :) I'm like that.

  • there is no mac with installed windows on it...

    you actually have to install windows yourself

  • you can buy one someone else put windows on like a used one

  • when you're at the bootcamp partition screen selection screen (where you switch form mac to windows), can you insert the line cd and then load windows???

  • i mean live cd

  • rEfit allows you to have ubuntu and windows and mac on ur computer.

  • here did you get your copy of linux there is like 100 different versions

  • Have you tried installing Ubuntu via Wubi on Windows XP?

    EMZ=]

  • hi I have a new late 2008 macbook pro

    currently i have a mac partition and a windows one made through bootcamp. I want to install ubuntu. If I backup my system will I be able to back up both partitions incase my triple boot attempt goes wrong somehow. I am just concerned about being able to go back to my mac now if triple booting doesn't work out. thanks. Is it possible to use bootcamps loader for triple booting.

  • If I install Ubuntu with rEFIt, how easy is it to uninstall Ubuntu and rEFIt? If I want to install Windows again, how would I delete the Ubuntu partitions and also rEFIt? Thanks for the help.

  • thanks for the video, you are very easy to listen to :D

    could you do a video ( or something or show me a link where to go) and show how to set up booth camp with windows xp pro, how do you go about it, i guess you need to divide the hard disk?for the operating systems.

    can i run booth camp on just my macbook? i dont have a macbook pro?

    steve

  • You will be able to install XP Pro fine on the MacBook, the installation is pretty strait forward, and the BootCamp assistant will help you partition (divide) the hard drive, if you follow the steps in the program, the program will automatically reboot the system and search for the XP Pro CD, then after you finish installing XP, just insert the first OS X DVD (while in Windows) to install the hardware drivers

  • and what about if i get dont want xp on my mac any more is it easy to delete and un-partition my mac again?,

    im thinking that, if i make the partition either too big or too small, or if i get a virus,

    and if i do get a virus, will it effect the rest of my mac?

  • If you get a virus and need to format and reinstall Windows, you can just format it FAT32 in Disk Utility, then take the Windows XP Pro disc and reinstall XP, the only thing you have to be careful with when formatting and reinstalling Windows is that when you reinstall Windows, it will not say "BOOTCAMP" anymore, so you have to look for the FAT32 partition to reinstall Windows on, then you will have to reinstall the drivers from the OS X DVD

    If you want to remove the partition, you will need

  • to either use the Disk Utility again, or see if BootCamp will remove the partition for you

  • for the moment im running with VMware fusion for a few reasons but one being that i didnt have to partition my harddisk, but i cant get Simatic to run on it, the program does run on xp pro but when i use vmware it says wrong operating system. :S any ideas?

  • Not sure, it does sound strange, must have something to do with VMWare, are you using Symantec for antivirus protection? If so, try using Avast instead and see if that works

  • If you wanted to triboot with Ubuntu on the drive, I do think you could use the Disk Utilities to do a 3 way partition, or just start from scratch and partition from the OS X installer DVD, and I think as long as you name your partitions, you should be able to install both XP and Ubuntu alongside OS X, I would be interested if this could be installed on an external hard drive or flash drive, I would use it a lot more myself if so

  • on a mac u cnt boot of a Flash drive

  • Actually, you can, you plug in the flash drive, hold down the Option key during boot, and in the boot list, you will see 1 or 2 hard drives (depending if you used bootcamp or not), and you will see an orange external drive looking thing with a USB tree logo on it with the word "Windows" under it, the only thing I wonder though is if Ubuntu will even install on an external hard drive, I wondered the same thing about Vista, because I originally wanted to run Vista on an external hard drive,

  • but for the way Vista is programmed (this goes for every version of Windows), Vista (along with all other versions of Windows)are unable to be installed on an external hard drive or flash drive, the Mac itself IS USB bootable though

  • YOUR MY CHOCALATE FACTORY

  • I run Leopard and XP on my MBPro. Vista on my desktop PC.

    I recently upgraded the MBPro from 2 to 4gb of RAM. Somehow it seems that programs are loading somewhat slower :S Anyone experienced that? It's Apple branded RAM sticks (originals).

  • do i have to buy and instll windows ax to be able to do this? or does os x 10 come with it installed,

  • my friend has xp, vista, ubuntu linux, and mac os x leopard 10.5.3 on his pc only using 3 partitions. I have no idea how he did it, but it works flawlessly. btw, its not triple boot if linux is from a cd, it needs to be on the actual HDD.

  • You could install all on one hard drive. It's really easy to set up multiple operating systems, especially if you install the Linux one last (because it automatically adds all the other OSs to the list to choose from).

  • This guy is an idot no shit u can run linux from livecd but thats not a triboot unless u install it.

    I am going to figure out how to get osx, linux, and xp working.

  • did u already install windows xp..?

  • you can install it as a 3 partition system... just run boot camp to partition it once, then use fdisk (standard with almost all linux distros) to break up the second partition you made into another 1, giving you three. Install ubuntu on one of them, then restart and install windows on the other one. Note, you will have to cause the gnu/linux partition to be "inactive" to correctly install xp, but you can reactivate it once you have xp installed

  • next time try setting up a "real" triple boot with rEFIt...

  • I was thinking the same thing.

  • If you mess around with your EFI, you can cause future problems to the Mac when you don't want Windows or Linux anymore, or if you don't want rEFIt anymore

  • you just have to delete the refit folder to remove it. that's all.

    what kind of problems should refit cause? xD

  • It's just that rEFIt does have ties with the EFI (hence it's name), the EFI is like the BIOS of PCs, and if you make a mistake, it could cause problems booting, I just don't understand the point in using rEFIt as the boot menu (the menu you get when you hold down Option during boot), while it thinks any PC operating system is "Windows", works perfectly fine

  • Not Polished??1!!!!!

    Have u seen compiz Fusion?? It makes macs Polish-ness look like nothing.

  • PEBKAC?

  • wtf ubuntu its bot the problem if you cant intstall you dont deserve it btw im typing this from ubuntu

  • Ubuntu out of the box does look dull but once you setup compiz it blows osx out of the water and its a faster, more secure, and more stable operating system.

  • And runs about 1% of the number of useful applications that Mac OS X does.

  • Correction: runs 1% of the number of useful applications that Mac OS X does that you know about. There are applications to replace virtually anything that you can get on Windows or Mac operating systems. There are thousands upon thousands of legally free applications for Linux. You can't compare a free, open source operating system to commercial operating systems. I personally don't like to pay for software so I use Linux. Take your pick based on your preference.

  • Correction: you get what you pay for. In the case of Linux, which I have and use, it does not come close in almost every single category to Mac OS X and the software you can get there.

  • Nothing is out of reach now... :)

  • Ok thx

    How did u get the CD bootup

    All my friends tell me u have to order it through the internet

    is it true?

  • you hold down the c key to boot to a cd

  • you can just download it straight from the internet for free off the ubuntu website.

  • which macbook

    i have the 2,4 ghz 2gb ram

    is it good enough to run ubuntu and windows

  • Yes, it is enough, no problem at all.

  • Boot into windows with Boot Camp, Create a partition with some windows program, Then do a windows dual boot.

    So you can hold ctrl. Choose windows then windows will give you the option of dual booting.

    (Or do you need a proper bios) i'm probably wrong)

  • is the only way to do triple booting by having a ubuntu c.d?? Are you able to have all three installed (ox s,windows,ubuntu)w/ out running of the ubuntu c.d?? Do you think run all 3 by using parallels??

  • Don't you mean partitions? Parallels means you emulate an operating system by running it in another (in this case, it would be running Windows and Linux within OS X), partitioning allows you to install a different operating system on the same hard drive, making multiple "drives" out of one, so when you choose an OS, you really choose a partition, or "drive" to boot from, then once the partition or "drive" is mounted, it launches the operating system's boot files

  • Ubuntu boots painfully slow? Why?

  • Because it boots off of a CD. If it were to boot Ubuntu off of the harddrive, it would be a LOT faster ;)

  • Exact, I have 4Go RAM, 3,8 Ghz and DD: 500 Go. Its is expensive the Computers.

  • My Windows Vista takes 20 Seconds to shut down and takes 12- 13 Seconds to ignite.

  • Not for me it dosen't

  • my windows XP takes 15 seconds to shut down

  • What are you talking About? Ooh-boon-too is How you Officialy Speak it :S

  • I'm from India and I say why are we discussing how to pronounce a word. How archaic and mundane.

  • im from engladn i also say you-bun-two :D

  • I'm from Texas, and I say it you-bun-two. Fget the Afrikans..

  • Probably could boot from a flash drive..

  • I say it "You-Bun-too" instead of "ooh-boon-too".

  • also it is possible to boot linux through bootcamp or rEfit

  • Sure

  • This guy has no idea what he is talking about when it comes to ubuntu or linux. Maybe if he knew a anything about computers her could enable compiz, or even beryl to make if feel more polished. I dont know many computers in 94 that could do what linux does (search beryl on youtube to see what I mean)

    I think mac os feels unpolished compared to well set up ubunto or fedora install. Remeber this guy is running the whole os from a cd, compared to fully installed os's that take up gigs

  • you say Ubuntu weird

  • "oo-boon-too" Is how it's officialy pronounced.

  • So can you not install ubuntu on there because bootcamp will only allow windows natively or just that you can only have two partitions and you would rather have windows? I really hope I can install some linux distro natively, mac osx just isn't enough unix like for me.

  • NOOBLET!

  • does it com with bootcamp macbook

  • it's free from the apple site

  • rEfit will allow true tri booting, booting from the CD doesn't count.

  • i dont get it your supposed to buy a mac because you want to stop using pc but then you go ahead and put xp on it? i would never do that to my mac

  • Ya, i run windows ans mac os x with the bootcamp and windows takes forever compred to mac os x

  • ubuntu seems to steal some of the style of windows like the bar at the bottom and mac like the bar at the top.....but then it has its on stuff...soo its all good...but its pretty cool....

  • dat is soo cool i cant wait till i get a mac im goin to try dat shit out!!!!!.....will it work on an Imac or w/e

  • Thats not tri boot

  • lol well of course not but u still cun run all 3 on ur system..just one on a cd its as close as ur goin to get lol

  • What is the point of using linux then if you cant save any of your work if it gets lost after your finished with the live cd?

  • i most likely would not use it as my Default OS i would prolly use it just to play around wit it...neva even seen or played wit ubuntu or on a real computer just for experimenting...and u could save ur stuff on prolly an external hard drive.....*which i have*

  • i farted

  • I'm quite disapointed that Bootcamp doesn't support Linux.

  • yuh dat be pretty sweet

  • ty, that is a neat vid. thx

  • Why are mac users so pretentious?

  • that's not triboot! still DUAL BOOT!

  • It's oo-boon-too, not oom-boon-too.

  • i am going to buy a mac to run windows ...mac os x sucks!

  • thats cool your mac book pro is a nice laptop

  • ubuntu has a built in partitioner, use that to partition the windows partition then you have 3!

  • Look at what windows has done in 5 years. Vista. Ok first of all they were 3 yrs behind and even worse they werent able to program an x86_64 kernel. And they havent made any changes to the kernel. All they did was added a new theme and graphics. When you look past the visual apperance you see more. But its okay because stated above you are a noob.

    Sinceraly a (Linux/GNU,Freebsd,Macos,Windo­ws User)

    and i all give them credit for what they do

  • they rewrote the kernel u dumbshit

  • movieguy=noob!!! Im sorry but you are wrong. First of all lets look at GNU/linux and mac osx. Well ofcourse they are going to be better. Why? because they are unix based and more secure. Does that mean i dont use windows?No. I do use windows, because thats where alot of people make programs. So i have a use for it sometimes.

  • wow ur obsessed with apple clam down.. i mean an apple background on windows COME ON! MAC SUCKS and will never be that good for hacking!

  • Yeah, 'cause everyone wants to "hack" a computer. Moron... Go back to your moms basement where you live.

  • how about u go have sex with stevejobs

  • movieguy, calm down man. he likes apple. so what. and you have never had a mac, so really, shut up.

  • fu i have a mac its just that i like windows better

  • pronounciaiton is wayy off.

  • I agree, Admin, but not every program in the world runs under OS X, nor some my wife needs for work. Thus, we all must, as needed, run crappy windows on our Macs.

  • What the? Why would you boot Windows on your Mac? It does not seem right to me. I've gt goosebumps waching this, and not in a good way. Stick to OS X! It's still the worlds best and most advanced operating system there is

  • wierd how wrong you pronounce Ubuntu... hehe... umbutu!

    most important is that you are trying to use it. hope you have managed to install it at this time...

  • Well, no, not really. There are so many core technologies built in OS X that about the only thing they really have in common is the actual core.

  • I'd rather say that they're both POSIX compatible and leave it at that.

  • at low level, mac and linux are basically same, both unix-based system. mac is just a polished unix, and linux

    is a coarse one.:)

  • The more RAM you have, the longer it takes to boot up. It has 2GB, so it takes longer than a stock machine with only 512MB. An Ubuntu takes longer still, as it is booting from a CD-ROM.

  • So, uh... here's one showing triple booting from local hard drive... (yes it is mine)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v­=L9YhNkLtfw4

    Anyone can do it using this wiki...

    http://wiki.onmac.net/index.ph­p/Triple_Boot_via_BootCamp_Ubu­ntu

  • Use parallels dude! You can also have XP, Ubuntu and ofcourse Mac OSX

  • you have to learn more on linux, form me linux and mac os are the future see this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v­=XkFq8eegkOs

  • mac=pc pc=mac mac os on pc to lol lol

  • hi i just installed bootcamp into my macbook and i cannot seem to get the internet to work? can you help me out?

  • Um...?

    I dont see much point in this...when you have to boot from CD/DVD, and loose everything when your done!!!

    Get it on the HD and post a video...lol

  • agreed. :)
