So I am trying to open up my bootcamp partition (running windows 7) in VMWare and I get this error message: Cannot open the disk '/Users/brandonquirarte/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp/%2Fdev%2Fdisk0/Boot Camp partition.vmwarevm/Boot Camp partition.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on. It was working just fine before the upgrade to Snow Leopard but I am not sure if that has anything to do with it. I had to reinstall Windows 7 after I tried installing the Bootcamp 3.0 drivers so that may be more of the issue. I didn't test to see if would work still when I upgraded to Snow Leopard.

I'm a 25-year PC user looking to switch to iMac that also runs Windows 7 virtually. Wondering if there are recommended keyboards that map seamlessly to both Mac to PC programs as I will run these side by side. I'm looking for one with backlit keys, a gaming keyboard would be ok though I am not a gamer.

I just got a new external hard drive that I have been using for storage. I formatted it for Mac OS X (extended...not journaled). I realized a few days ago that I can run the movies from the HD in windows xp even though the drive is formatted for mac. Would I be able to install windows games onto the drive and run them in windows w/o having to format the drive for windows?

running a second monitor under Windows Vista 64 Pro on my Mac Pro (Bootcamp)? I'm talking about a standard 'PC' flat screen monitor. Would I have to install the monitor under Mac OS first then under Windows?To be honest I only want it as a second monitor for when I use Flight Sim under Vista. I have never used multiple screen before on any system.

I'm new to the forums. I'm using a 17" Macbook Pro, and recently I've thought about running Windows via Bootcamp to play Fallout 3. I have Fallout on X-Box, but I really want to download some mods, plus it would be awesome to play it on the go. So I guess my question is where would I start, and is it worth it.

I am switching from a dell pc running XP home media sp3,to a Macbook Pro.I have not ordered it yet, but I am planning to get the 15" 2.66, 4 G Ram, and upgrading to the 500GB/7200 rpm. I will mostly use the Mac side of things but I do plan to install either VMWare 3 or Parallels and then run Windows 7 there. I have pre-purchased the Windows 7 Professional upgrade software from MS. So, when I receive my mac, and install the virtual machine,do I then just do a clean install of the Windows 7 upgrade software and simply insert the registration key of my old XP operating system when prompted? Or do I need to go to the trouble of installing the MS XP operating first and then deleting it's partition during the clean install process? Are there any other things to watch out for in this process?

I'm using my Vista 64 bootcamp partition under Fusion (v2) as well and anytime I run Vista from Fusion my laptop temperatures soar to around 84-85 C and stay around those values even after Vista has finished loading up etc... (the lowest I've seen it drop to is 77). I'm using the power saving 9400 graphics card and I gave 1GB of Ram to Fusion and 1 virutal processor. Under normal usage of OS X (with the 9400 graphics card) my temps stay between 45-55 C. So are these normal temperatures that I'm experiencing with Fusion? What can I do to make these lower?

I know macbookpros typically get hot running OS X, but it seems to get really hot really fast while running windows (bootcamp). Not sure if its something that should be fixed on my notebook or if everyone else has the same thing.

It appears to be running in 32-bit. Does it just support 64-bit guest OS's, or should it be running in 64-bit itself?

I am considering switching to a Mac Book Pro and have been told that it is capable of running windows operating systems. Does anyone have any experience with this and how well it works? The main reason for running Windows are two specific programs not available for Macs plus my company uses Microsoft Outlook for email. The model that I am looking to buy is the 15" 2.53 GHz, 4GB Memory with NVDIA 9400M graphics.

If I could I would get rid of everything related to Microsoft but unfortunately I need to use Windows applications for my work. Specifically, Autocad Civil 3D, Revit Architecture and a bunch of structural engineering programs. I have tried running these applications on Parallels on Mac systems such as MacBook Pro Mid 2009 (2.93 C2D, 4gb ram) but was not satisfied with the performance. Autocad was lagging even when working in 2D. I don't even have to talk about Revit... I never had the opportunity to test this on more powerful systems and this is where I need your advice. Is it possible for the Mac Pro to run these applications on Parallels seamlessly? That is, as if you were running Windows on a PC? What is more important CPU, RAM, GPU? To catch up with a few possible comments, a) I don't want to run Windows via bootcamp, b) I am aware that Autacad is coming to Mac OS but I need the extra features of Civil 3D and Revit.

I'm talking about if you have Windows set to do nothing and keep running if you shut the lid, useful for downloading large files overnight or something without letting the screen and keyboard get dusty. I've noticed that closing a MBP blocks over half of the ventilation space in the back, so of course it's going to get hotter than normal, and the screen is about 1mm away from the hot aluminum when it's closed, so I'm concerned about the heat damaging the screen. Does anyone have any experience or insight related to this?

I received parallels 4.0 as a gift 2 months ago and did not install the software. But now, as win7 is out, I am really interested to get it installed, but is it recommended to run Win7 (64-bit) on Parallels 4.0 and not the latest version of Parallels? Sadly, I could not get it exchanged for parallels 5.0 in my local stores. Will it crash or lag my macbook pro? My system is 2.66GHz and 320GB, bought in oct 2009 mbp.

I've been meaning to sign up for ages but only now am I getting around to it.Anyway, here is my question.I have been running Linux for quite some time, and am fairly adept at using terminal, WINE, etc. As with most people, I still cannot completely avoid Windows (Borderlands is addictive ok?) and I still use MSN, seeing as 95% of the people I know use it, not Yahoo messenger, AIM or Skype. Which is a nuisance for me, because while I like Adium, it really does suck compared to the real MSN client. And as usual, Microsoft pretends to be nice to Apple "developing software for it" while making sure its products are crippled so people either need to run CrossOver / Wine or Parallels / VMware to use it inside OS X, or create a boot camp partition for Windows. This doesn't make me want to use Windows, it makes me even more glad I purchased a Macbook.Ranting aside, I find the Wine client for Mac kind of 2nd rate compared to the Linux version.Installing winetricks fails miserably, where on Linux it was simple. Also, the lack of a decent DMG file or package makes installing it that little bit more difficult, I've never had good luck at installing things via terminal, even on Linux.My question is, has anyone found a way to install Wine and Winetricks on Mac to install MSN messenger?-IMPORTANT NOTE-I have Adium installed, as well as Microsoft Messenger, aMSN and I've tried basically all the other clients out there. Do not suggest these as solutions. This is about how to install the OFFICIAL Windows Live Messenger on Mac OS X using Wine, CrossOver or another method.

I'm going to college next year and seriously looking at the 13 in MBP. I think it's the perfect blend of portability, power, etc.
However, I will need to run Windows 7 Professional, as I will need to run the app Minitab, which is for PC only.
I was talking to a fellow classmate who i would consider a computer geek. He knows much more than i do and he explained how I could run 7 on a MBP.
Here's what he said:
1.Buy MBP, VMWare 3, a copy of vista.
2. Install the vista into the VMWare 3 and have vista set up as the virtual machine.
3. Go to windows' students 741 webpage and "upgrade" to 7.
4.do the upgrade.
5. Done, now I can start VMWare3 with windows 7 and install any PC apps like Minitab and run with VMWare.
Is this correct? Is there a simpler way? I am a bit concerned with the "upgrade" part of the procedure. I would like to install 7 from the get go but 299.99 for windows 7 pro is too expensive.

So I'm running bootcamp on my Mid-2010 Mac Pro and I can't get Dolby Surround Sound to run from the Realtek HD Audio Manager. Is there a way to produce true Dolby 5.1? I understand this may be more bootcamp related than to the actual hardware itself but I figured this is the best place to start troubleshooting this.
Info:
Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), Mid-2010 Quad Core
