Mac Pro :: How To Remove The Default BootCamp ATI Video Drivers
May 6, 2009I was about to install the new ATI video drivers from AMDs website for the 4800 series together with the Catalyst Control Center, however the sites FAQ and the installer itself "reminded" me to completely remove any old video drivers before attempting to install the new drivers. Well, the problem is that I can't find anything related to video card drivers in the software management / uninstall menu...
Is it safe to just install the fresh drivers and the CCC without removing the old ones ?

OS X :: Updated BootCamp Now Mac Start Into Windows By Default
Sep 9, 2009Did some software updates to the Windows side of the Mac via Bootcamp the other day and now whenever my backup drive is plugged in to my computer (always is) the Mac will boot into Windows by default. I checked the startup disk and reset them back to Mac, but it doesn't matter. If the drive is connected it will now always boot in to windows by default. If I unplug the drive and start up the machine it goes in to Mac just fine. Not exactly sure wtf happened.

May 18, 2009I am wondering if there is a way to have my iMac boot up in OS/X by default and if I want to use windows then use the hold down option method.

Jan 30, 2009Used migration assistant to move my Blackbook apps and settings to the Air using a Time Machine backup from my Time Capsule - wirelessly. Two hours later (not terrible) and I'm using my Air with all my apps and setting - fantastic.

IMac :: Resizing Bootcamp Partition - Backing Up Bootcamp Image?
Apr 16, 2010im on a goal to resize my bootcamp partition... im running 10.6.4 with Win7 in Bootcamp... i made a mistake of only making a 80GB partition for windows 7.... now i want to make it bigger, i have read up on a number of methods but most are outdated and users report issues with windows 7 and SL so i'm a lil stuck... this is my idea
I have 120GB unused HDD space atm so could i.. back up my 80GB partition to a DMG with disk utility then delete the old partition making the whole 200GB unallocated space... then use the bootcamp utility to re occupy the space then use disk utilities restore option to restore the image of the 80GB to the new 200GB partition... would this work? if not has anyone got any other methods to use with 10.6.4 SL and Win7?
Software :: OEM And Bootcamp Format The Partition That Bootcamp Created
May 3, 2009Bought an OEM version to use with bootcamp. Everything works fine up to the point where it is supposed to let me format the partition that bootcamp created. The XP installation just skips right from when I select the C:yatta-yatta/bootcamp partition and starts installing. So obviously the partition is not bootable... Does anyone know if this is because the OEM version of the OS or something else. I tried to reduce the size of the partition because I read a thread about FAT32 not playing well with disc sizes greater than 32Gb. Still didn't work...
View 2 Replies View RelatedWindows On Mac :: BootCamp Fails To Make BootCamp Partition
Jan 23, 2009I want to try out Windows 7. During this process though I deleted my winXP partition. When I went to create a new BootCamp partition in The BootCamp SetUp Assisstant, it failed to create the partition on my harddrive.
I was greeted with the error, "BootCamp SetUp assistant failed to yada yada yada, please backup and reformat your harddrive."
So my question is do I really have to reinstall Mac OS X? (I backup with TimeMachine so it won't be a big deal but still thats a very long process.) Do you guys have any tips or anything to get Mac OS X to partition my main HDD?

Aug 28, 2009Maybe I'm just over thinking this, but Apple never posted a KB article about how to upgrade an existing bootcamp partition with the new snow leopard bootcamp 3.0 drivers. I'm assuming if you already have bootcamp 2.1 you boot up in boot camp and then insert the snow leopard disc in order to upgrade the drivers to 3.0 correct? Or do I have to erase my stupid bootcamp partition and reinstall it all over again using the new leopard boot camp assistant in order to get to 3.0?

Oct 20, 2010I reformatted my MBP a few days ago (yes, I'm crazy), and now when I decided to install Photoshop CS5 Extended, it did not bring the option of a 64-bit version, meaning my MBP is now running only on 32-bit mode. But I remember that when I installed it before, it did. So obviously I was running 64-bit mode. Did yours come by default with 64-bit mode? Should I go ahead and change it back to 64-bit mode?
