Installing Wndows on a Mac with Boot Camp

[dolans2000]

Brilliant video helped me a lot

[attractivue]

What was the MAC operating on your iMac? Was it snow leopard? I get upto 4:40 easily but when it reboots, it asks me to press any key to boot from the disk, obviously I don't want it to boot from the CD coz it will repeat the first process all over again but when I let it time out, it says 'disc error'. I would of loved to see what happened in the video after 4:40? I am using a pirated copy of the Windows, could this be the reason?

I've installed "Win XP Service Pack 1a" under bootcamp. I realized I needed SP2 or higher. I'm not able to get on the Internet or install any drivers. Is it possible to go onto the Mac partition & download a SP2 update, then switch to the XP partition & install the update there from a USB?

[manatee8able]

great video! I accidentally hit one of the 4 options and I no longer see my mac hard drive, any ideas on how to fix it I need HELP please

[sxayaxang]

hey what kind of your mac my is powermac g5 i bought it from an other guy i am not sure that it is a intel base or not the think is i can not fing the bootcamp in it so do i have to download it some where and instal it, i want to instal windows in it

please help

thanks

[Karim1Sauk1dere]

So can you install games. like GTA IV, COD black ops and others ???

[attractivue]

@Karim1Sauk1dere yep thats the plan. What else you would need windows for?

[TheFabuliciousaround]

thanks "_ 

[Federico1600]

"quick is always better than slow" :D

[InvaderAlex08]

I've tried this once on my mac using win xp service pack 1a. found out i needed service pack 2 or later. IT wouldn't let me install my drivers so i coulnt't play my old win games or use the internet. I couldn't switch back to snowleopard so i had to put that in at bootup and press some command to boot off it. took an hr to reload snowloerpard. Nothing was lost thankfully.

so should i try again? do you know where i can get win xp service pack 2?

[Turok4458]

@InvaderAlex08

You could try again, but make sure it's Windows XP SP2 or later and that it's legit (no torrents). After you've followed the steps and installed it, Windows should work (just make sure you install the drivers through the Mac OS X Install disc).

[Au5music]

"'To format the drive, press F.' ah thats scary..." lol

[kamikim1]

question :,right now in my max winxp is primary os ,can u tell mehow do i make mac osx primary os, ur respone will be appreciated thanks

[TalesOfWar]

@kamikim1 No idea if you ever found an answer to this question as it's been so long, but in the Boot Camp Control Panel there's an option to set the default operating system. You can also change it from within OSX too by selecting Starup Disk from System Preferences.

[kamikim1]

@TalesOfWar dont worry about it brother that lap top is stolen now and i have no more intensions to buy it

[MrDomcaca]

Wots wndows?

[ChrisPlugged]

Your a champ!. I was a little lost until I realized I need to install mac drivers.

Basic step by step is the best demo. Cheers!

[labalou]

so lets say you get an Imac 21" with 1TB hardrive how would you partition both of them to ge the most out of the drive space? would 80GBs be enough for the operating system on the mac side and 80GB also for the Win side and the rest for storage space?

thanx!

[gnuehcydna]

uhhhh do you have to buy thta snow leopard this separatly cause i see no hint of it in my macbook box (yes my mac is snow leopard) do i even need it?

[randytio]

i like it,...

[LifeMattersChannel]

"FAT33"

i giggled.

[JimmyBirnie]

what type of service pack do u need to put on the windows because i got sp3 with OEM and does not work

[Magnuspire]

There's a very good reason for those 93 updates, though I'm sure with it being windows xp pro... there ware a ton more after that.

The main thing that we all know is that Microsoft related products have been a huge target for hackers simply because it has the largest market share available. One thing to keep in mind though, just imagine the amount of security holes to be patched if Linux ever became the largest market share. Especially with it being open source. HAHA!

[llauriann]

what's the point of putting windows on your mac ?

[Habbloxian]

@llauriann If you want to run a Windows-only program, if you have a game that only works with Windows, etc.

[Thelevatorchannel124]

@llauriann So you dont have to buy a PC :D

[fbursle]

hey great video and loving the commentating but i selected the option 'keep system intact' instead of the other top two or three.

does this mean i must delete my current PC windows format and restart it or just do it again?

[sabbaloko]

thnx

[DarkDragn23]

Can we switch between Mac OS X 10.whatever and Windows Xp, vista, etc.? Or once we install this, are we stuck with it?

[sabbaloko]

PRess "option" when booting up to select the disk

[standingcam]

@DarkDragn23 If you format the BOOTCAMP drive, you dual-boot :) If you format the OS X drive, you're stuck :(

[seite84]

I did everything your video says and when I went to reboot it after creating the partition etc my computer came up with 'do you want to run the cd' or something and then it went and reopened all the previous steps I already did. I tried ejecting the windows disk but then it just went to my regular mac. I see that all the files were copied but I didn't actually go through the rest of the process. I don't know what to do.

[TheShakty1]

do not click anything when the do you want to boot thing comes up just leave it

then will come up another screen which tells you its continuing to install. it reboots again and then you can create users and such

good luck

[savannx]

the first two screens i didnt have so wondering why... i do get te screen of partition3 bootcamp but the screen after that i dont get. coping files i did get.. but don't know what to do to get further.. so maybe someone can give me some tips. and i also will ask tomorrow to some friends. hope someone knows anything about it.

[Homers8675309]

[bienve62]

[steeeven1]

WOW! thanks for doing this video! I just bought a new mac mini 2009 and installed XP, but i couldn't find the drivers for it online anywhere! i didn't realize apple was awesome enough to actually give you windows drivers on your leopard disk! gonna do it right now :DDDDD

[DarrylStevens]

[Haydog987]

hey Im installed boot camp and then it didnt install corectly, everytime i try to restart it it goes back to the setup screen...how do I cancel it completly?!?!?!?/ im crapping my pants

[southpark666666]

Restart your computer(after the setup), and click your mouse and the disc should eject, and then you may need to restart again and it should load up in Mac OS X, and hopefully(for me it did) your Mac stuff should still be there. So then load up Bootcamp Installer and remove the partition, hope this helped.

[sidekicker0002]

haha, just got the mac20 and have the same problem...am also crapping my pants out.

[Seiyun7]

i cant connect to the interent... after i installed. inserted the mac os x installation disk.. and installed everything. rebooted and still cant get on the internet. :(

[DeaderNBetter]

When you boot up your Mac, do you get a choice to choose your os or is windows booted from within leopard? Just wondering cause I just got a Mac.

[sodalover477]

Fat Thirty Two, not Fat Thirty Three :-D

[SPRSniper]

hello

[listerfiend510]

thanks so much, lol i was crapping in my pants because i hadnt looked at the directions, thinking it would be easy. Your little double check earlier for the format change was what i needed to change. Thanks so much, 5stars and subscribe

[nugster1]

u r a total noob rofl

[chillipino86]

ubuntu power!

[lamp301]

when you turn off your mac with boot camp and turn it back on, it becomes a real mac rite?

[MacEmpot]

hi there! i have a question. I have mac and i installed windows in my boot camp. I installed all the requirments. But, when i try to connect to the internet there is no signal or let say i cant connect to the internet. When i go back to the mac side i have strong signal of internet. What should i do to fix this problem? oh by the way i use Vmware fusion but it doesnt work that good for gaming. That's why i want to run in boot camp. plz help me thanks !

[thl2ice]

im switching from parallels to bootcamp due to gaming issues too hahaha ahmmm from what ive heard/seen to get airport working on windows u need to instal the proper drivers included on the Mac OS X dvd, or it also depends on the SP(Service pack of windows) you installed

[bealerDSB]

fat 33 - lol

[HowlBlack]

Should you format NTFS (QUICK)

OR

the normal one? Is there a big difference. thanks

[TheUBFunkeys]

no. the quick one just does it quicky to ntfs and the normal one takes longer to the same ntfs

[spotlightman1234]

yeah he's right their pretty much the same thing.

i would only use the regular one if you really have the time,

really feel like it's nessary or you have OC.

[Chatetris]

Where did you the information for this because when I get a mac I'm going to run Bootcamp on it

[jiyx]

Look at that, another one of the Mac fanboy club who can't live without Windows hehe

[defleppfan4ever]

i also have a problem, PLEASE HELP!

When i go to install the drivers, I eject the windows xp disc, and i put in the mac os x disc, and it says something about A component missing or something and it won't let me install the drivers! Does anyone know what i did wrong?

[urklekills]

same problem help please!

[internetfan5103]

[rioschris]

hi there i have a question im thinking of putting windows xp on my mac as well but i have a question, will in need virus protection? when i use OSX i dont use virus protection. so what do you think?

[psychobillycabbie]

Thanks for this wonderful information!

I keep having a problem, though

When I have reached the blue screen where to press enter to set up Windows XP (in the video at 1:57 ) my keyboard doesn't respond to anything anymore.

Of many efforts there was ONE time when I did get passed this sceen, but after istallation (keeping the "alt" button pressed) and choosing WINDOWS there was a DISC ERROR and nothing worked.

Has anyone had this problem too?

Thanks!!

[siebske]

I do also have that problem

please helpl....

[albobasket]

thanks man this video really helped me! I made the error of not printing the instructions and I was stuck... THANKS! :D

[daly1236]

lol this guy sounds like jim's dad off american pie

[colterczyruk]

haha so tru

[mstatebdog]

im gonna use a copy of windows from the pirate bay and i was wondering what i should check. like for the automatic updates will some anti-piracy thing come up?

[impendingdoom88]

Fat 32.....

32. not 33...

[crazyUTkid]

tip: quick means, that it doesnt format so well, afterwards there are still 8 mb of crap xD

doesnt care, just use QUICK!

[xxspadekingxx]

Can you switch back to Leopard after installing Windows on your Mac... and if so how would you do that?

[ericisradx]

You can use both. Whe you start your comp up, you can choose to use windows or mac. When you start it up anytime, you can use either windows or mac and the toher wont get deleted or harmed.

[willplez]

when you start up your mac normally, it will go into leopard, if you hold down option, a screen will pop up asking if you want windows or leopard. so it not going to be stuck on windows of course

[cowgurlmyheart]

Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again.

what do i do?

[Ellicit1]

i have has xp pro on my 24" imac for almost 1yr, i love it, its so fast, i dont even use osx

[Btroisi13]

same iMac!

[gsharpshooter80]

Screw macs and screw windows LINUX FTW woot!! this is my opinion leave me alone im sorry i personally feel linux is so cool st how powerful the operating system is is omg its just awesome i love it

[nickloss]

you realize osx & linux are both derivatives of unix right?

[gsharpshooter80]

i know but like i still like linux better then all ive played with mac windows but linux is just fun to mess with

[FunkyMrC]

I chose XP for my Bootcamp - I think everyone knows why! XP>Vista

[vlekkietwinnie]

right now i am installing xp on my imac i had vista but when i booted it up i got the blue screeen every time and i had sp1 and all the updates

[lightrays8]

This is the best instructional video out for installing windows xp. I viewed the video on my pc while installing windows xp on my mac book pro. Everything worked out fine. Only one problem: my mbp gets very hot when running windows so I had to download smc fan control to cool it down.

[zodi2]

thanks mate you have helped me heaps, ill let you know how i go im just partioning now cheers

[ejayarts]

bootcamp runs faster in windows.

LOLkidding

[TheCoolPeopleDude]

FSX(Microsoft Flight Simulator X)

[ferociouspokemachine]

[UberMapleMage]

[modaroho]

thanx for the vid much help !

[avto91]

how cani i uninstall windows then on macbook pro??????????? HEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPPP!!!!

[uhuhu777]

it's so easy, just go to spotlight and search for "boot camp" then click the program.

After that just follow the instructions and put 32 GB or what you want and the partition would be created, the put the windows cd and install it.

[oharmando]

delete the partition that you created with bootcamp

[HorribleVideoMaker]

hey dude this vid helped me

[Andys184]

lol you're such a silly dildo.

[juankillilla]

where can i have bootcamp for tiger my mac version is 10.4.11 can u help me?

[ClaudioandNewo]

hey, you need at 10.5.. i think

[CheeseballAlliance]

When I did a System Restore on my PC running Vista Home Premium, it had to install 58 updates! I made a cup of coffee and watched TV for a bit, took about an hour. But 93! You should have left it to do overnight.

[baseballsbetter]

Does Formatting the partition wipe your OSX partitions? Or hurt it at all?

[ferociouspokemachine]

DONT FORMAT THEM!!!! use only the bootcamp partition!!! if you format any other partitions you will lose all of its contents and you will never be able to recover them!!!

[shinjitodd]

hi, i was wondering

im going to install windows with bootcamp

basically to play games on windows

my question IS, once i installed windows on my computer, do i need to get those service packs?

or theyre already installed on?

does it slows my osx?

[salmazy]

OMG what would you do without manuals. Hehe, must be one of the most patient human beings in the world. Going through such an easy operation with such attention to the manuals details.

[kevinonstenk]

were do i get boot camp for leopard??

[vlekkietwinnie]

just search in spotlight for bootcamp

[laughinsilence]

i guess quick is always better than slow

LOL

[wenborn]

is there anyway to set it up using a ome disc cus the ome disc skips the format stage please healp

[cricketownz]

can i get this on my macbook with tiger???

[punxz18]

wait wait wait is bootcamp for free?

[maxoid50]

it comes with leopard

[Hispanicvoiceover]

Great video thanks!

[CarpeDiem415]

Say i do what he does on my mac book how do i get it to run on OSX again sry for noob question

[Ksm395]

great video but I was wondering if I needed a windows disc to do the whole bootcamp or if the files are already installed in the bootcamp assistant.

[Zogeta]

Lets say you save a file in Windows that both OSs can read, like a JPEG. Cann I access it from both OSs or do I have to reboot each time?

[krillevideomaker]

how to you go over to Mac osx agaIN?

[topsyandpip56]

Hold down Option on startup (alt) and select Macintosh HD or hold down X on startup.

[feytertom]

the fact that both OS X and windows run on the mac, is a very good example as to how the macs are superior to the pc's(on that area).

[adzt3]

do you need to get intnernet protection for the windows side or will the mac protect it ?// a bit of a noob question, but i don't know !!

[tombereti]

That's a good question actually. You will most likely need some sort of Anti-Virus software. But I'm pretty sure that if you do get a Virus if will only affect Windows and NOT Mac OS X.

[krewelement394]

awsome i didnt know u had to choose a differ format no wonder i coldnt get it working:D

[groupXonline]

nice video! Favourited;)

[Greekskater4life]

Plz PLz tell me ASAP, how much space does bootcamp take in an a mac? ( for example does it take up 10 giga to install, 12 giga...? )

[Naoki09]

I think the partitioning part allows you to choose how much space you want to dedicate for Windows.

[shoulinjedi]

So - the big q is, can you use your wireless keyboard now that youre done with the install??

of course w/o the drivers etc, you couldnt use them during the install but what about after?

[smurfvolta]

Yes, the Leopard disc has drivers for the blue tooth devices.

[shmalexander]

really good quality tutorial you've made there mate, i got stuck dual booting when i needed to install the drivers, you've helped me out a lot. cheers :D

[dramatisedlife]

thats a brilliant video, thanks! - getting a mac at the weekend, ready to install windows for my gaming! now i know what to do :)

[diglet553]

That NTFS mumbo jumbo windows bitches about is a like a key to how windows will read the hard disk, same goes for mac (that read HFS+, i think)
