Windows On Mac :: MBP I5 17" Clean Install Windows 7 After Formatting Disk

Sep 4, 2010

I want to clean install windows 7 after formatting disk. This doesn't sound like a great idea, but I need this for couple of engineering softwares to work. I don't want to spend my nights in computer cluster or at friends pc...

I have heard, I will encounter following issues:
- battery will drain faster
- graphics driver for x64-bit version
- camera
- iPhone backups and syncs (music, video, cal, contacts and apps)
- I would need a external mouse for right click.

I can live with all of the above problems except graphics card drivers. Can anyone provide feedback or useful links they have refered to installing Windows 7?

Windows On Mac :: Clean Install With Windows 7 Upgrade Disc Possible?

Nov 6, 2009

Currently have XP. But, I have heard/read that it is possible to do a clean install of Windows 7 from the upgrade disc. Or is that only possible on a PC? If so, how would I go about wiping XP off and then doing a clean install of Windows 7's 64 bit version?

Windows On Mac :: Upgrade Or Clean Install Windows 7

Sep 16, 2009

I currently have Vista 32 installed in Bootcamp and it works perfectly except that it won't show up in OS X under Startup Disk. This isn't that too big of a problem, I just shutdown, turn on, and hold option.

I have a copy of Windows 7 and would like to start using it, but would like to confirm that using the upgrade function will work. Will it still be recognized when I press option? Has anyone done this? Also, does anyone know when 64 bit Win 7 will be supported in boot camp?

Windows On Mac :: Install Windows 7 On An Internal Disk Via Boot Camp?

Oct 22, 2009

Is it possible to install Windows 7 on an internal disk via Boot Camp and then remove this disk and use it as an external drive? I have two drives for my mini, one in use and one in an external case; unfortunately, neither have room for everything plus Windows. If the answer to this question is no, then I'll buy a bigger drive. I'd just like to avoid this if possible (I already have a ton of external drives and not enough ports to plug them into).

Jun 1, 2010

I have a 2010 15" MacBook Pro 2.4 i5 that I am trying to install Windows 7 on using BootCamp. I have installed a partition using BootCamp of 45GB but once it prompts me to insert the Windows disk, I insert it but after a few seconds the machine ejects the disk without ever mounting or seemingly recognizing the disk.

I am trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit from a disk.

Can anyone offer any insight or help me figure out what the problem is? I have already tried rebooting and that doesn't work.

Jun 6, 2009

I'm very new to macs and I've been able to purchase most of the applications I need to use in mac formats (quickbooks, office etc.) but there are some things that still need windows like all of the software for my Garmin units as well as some marine navigation software. My question is rather then having to purchase more software, and give more money to MS, can I use a copy of windows that came with one of my old dell or vaio laptops to run windows on parallels so I can run those few programs i need?

MacBook Pro :: Clean Install Possible With Any Other Install Disk

Jul 8, 2010

I have recently done a Time machine back up of my MB Pro 15" then wiped my hard drive trying to clean it up so I could install Windows 7 with Boot Camp.
