Windows On Mac :: Bootcamp Without Snow Leopard CD?
Apr 7, 2010just started using Mac OS recently
AFAIK, I will be needing the snowleopard installation cd for the drivers in windows after I finish installing windows(xp). However, I bought this MBP from ebay so it came with leopard cd only but with snowleopard installed on the macchine.
So I am wondering if leopard cd works as well to obtain drivers for the windows?
OS X :: Installing Snow Leopard/Windows 7 On Mac With Bootcamp
Oct 30, 2009I have a unibody 13" MacBook running Leopard with Bootcamp running Windows Vista. I want to try and make the move this weekend to both Snow Leopard AND Windows 7.
First, what is my best plan of attack here? Will Snow Leopard install just fine and ignore my current 25gb partition of Vista currently set up? (i.e. not effect it at all). I would assume so but I'm not totally sure.
Second, what is the best way to go about installing Windows 7? I am a university student and I will be getting the $30 upgrade version of Windows 7. I've heard that doing a clean install is the best way to go instead of going over vista, so I hear I need to make an iso out of the upgrade version and use that?
I'm planning on doing Snow Leopard first, then Windows 7 second as this seems like the most logical order for me.
Windows On Mac :: Snow Leopard Not Working After Bootcamp

Sep 20, 2009I find myself using Mac OS X Leopard less and less and windows almost all the time these days and on the occasion that I need leopard i find it suits me fine. I want to be as up to date with boot camp as possible but don't want to upgrade to snow leopard (I need the current version of Quicktime for my video editing software so cant risk going to QT-X) so can i install Bootcamp 3.0 without installing SL? I really want to be able to read my Mac drives (I need my itunes!!) from Windows.

Oct 16, 2009I can install snow leopard clean on a fresh drive on my MBP with my upgrade disk. It is the disk that came as a drop-in dvd with the MBP, along with its original install disks. If I install windows using bootcamp assistant, do I use that disk when it asks for the drivers, etc. during installation? Or do I use my leopard install disks that came with my computer? Is the snow leopard bootcamp process any different from the process in leopard? I had windows Vista on there fine before upgrading my hard drive and going to snow leopard. Do I need to print out those 25 pages again?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWindows On Mac :: XP Compatible With OS X Snow Leopard BootCamp?
Jan 13, 2010I'm by no means very tech savvy. When I tried to install Windows XP (Home Edition) on my Macbook Pro via bootcamp, I experienced a bit of trouble. I partitioned the hard drive as instructed, then inserted the Windows XP installation disk and hit continue. This is when the computer more or less took over and started doing it's own thing. After a while the screen went blue and the windows install prompts were flashing across the screen. At this point I'm still thinking all is good; I accepted the terms of use etc.
However, once the install was complete, it kept asking me to insert the Windows XP Home edition CD. Even though it was already in the disk drive. I tried to hit continue but it kept taking me back to the screen asking for the disk to be inserted. Eventually I quit out of the install (upon doing so the screen prompted me the install did not work), ejected the windows install cd, and restarted my computer back into osx. Is the newest version of osx, snow leopard, not compatible with microsoft xp? Do I need to purchase vista or windows 7 if I am to run boot camp successfully?

Aug 30, 2009I know this is probably a stupid question. I'm about to set up windows 7 on my iMac. I've recently updated to Snow leopard. My question is once I have windows 7 installed do I have to use the snow leopard disk, or the disk that came with my computer to load drivers?

Nov 5, 2009I have a new 21.5 Imac (with the ATI Radeon HD 4670) on which I have just installed Windows 7 32 bit version. Everything worked great and upon starting Windows 7 for the first time my network is working, the ATI 4670 drivers seem to be installed automatically and also sound drivers seem to be there, everything of this Windows 7 did automatically. So my question is: why do I need the Bootcamp drivers from the Snow Leopard disk, what extra value will they provide? Can it hurt my computer all togehter if I skip the drivers from the Snow Leopard disk? will it perhaps have drivers other than above that are absolutely needed for the system to function properly?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWindows On Mac :: Won't Change Bootcamp Partition Icon Since Snow Leopard Install
Aug 29, 2009After installing Snow Leopard, the volume icon for my Windows XP Bootcamp partition has changed back to the default Hard Disk icon. As it is formatted NTFS, I am unable to change the icon within OS X. I used to change it by applying the desired icon to a memory stick, then within Windows, copy the hidden icon files from the memory stick on the base directory of the 'C:' Drive.
When in Leopard, it would recognise the icon that I had applied to it - but ever since I installed Snow Leopard, this trick no longer works and I cannot find a way to change it (other than to change my Bootcamp partition to FAT32, so I can apply an Icon within OS X - but this means reformatting and is slightly OTT for just an icon ) This occurs both after doing a Upgrade install on my MacBook Pro, and a clean install on my iMac, both with already existing Bootcamp partitions. I might try by making a new Bootcamp partition now Snow Leopard is installed, but I don't see how that would be any different to the ones I currently have.

Windows On Mac :: Resizing BootCamp Partition - Snow Leapord & Windows 7
Feb 1, 2010Basically, I created a BC partition for my W7, however, I only gave it 32gigs of space (I only wanted to use it for gaming).However, now I want to install Autodesk 3D Studio Max 2010 on W7, however I don't have enough space on my BC partition to do that...I've researched enough to know that I will need to use one of the following programs:I've read up on all the programs and done some research on them.
Ive noticed most people are having problems with all of these programs when trying to backup a W7 image whilst on Snow Leapord (Mac OS x 10.6, which I am running)I know that is the function of the 3 applications above... But to my knowledge... In theory - I should be able to just backup my W7 using a reliable backup program (Can someone recommend any?) and then delete the existing BootCamp partition, create a new one of 100gig and then just load up the backed up image for Windows 7...

Jun 10, 2012If I do not currently own a copy of bootcamp, how would I go about aqcuiring this piece of software? You see, I reently got my iMac back from an Apple Store, and after reinstalling the Operating system, and installing bootcamp, it simply wasn't there anymore, it appeared that the application simply got rid of itself, but it doesn't matter why I don't hve it, back to the point. Could I download it from an official site? Or would I have to go to the apple store and ask for a disk of it, or for them to install it. Or am I simply out of luck and would have to purchase an entirely new apple computer to acquire bootcamp?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8), My lack of boot-camp is disturbing.
OS X :: Will Installing Snow Leopard Screw Bootcamp?
Aug 29, 2009I have a copy of Snow Leopard on the way and am wondering what I will have to do? Does you need to back up everything, or does it "dynamically" install? Either way, will I need to do anything to keep my bootcamp partition working?
On another note, I currently have Vista Ultimate in bootcamp and want to change to Windows 7. Is there a way to "upgrade"? Or will I have to clean install and rebootcamp?

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Unable To Install Bootcamp?
May 27, 2012I have a mid-2007 MacBook Pro, model A1226, with 4GB RAM. The optical drive has always been a little off, in that CD's written using the MacBook Pro sometimes can't be read on other systems, but it's never had problems reading CDs/DVDs. When I had Fusion installed on this machine I was able to install Windows XP and Windows 7 using the optical drive.
I want to do a Bootcamp install of Windows, either XP or 7. I have two original WinXP Pro SP2 installation disks (retail, not OEM) and one set of original Win7 Ultimate installation disks, again retail.
I did a clean install of Snow Leopard after reformatting (erasing) the hard disk, and ran software update. Then I ran Boot Camp Assistant and created a bootcamp partition. When I insert an installation disk and click on Start..., after a moment it ejects the disk. Over and over. I repeated this many times, with all of the install disks, and the results were the same.
Except once, and only once, it actually started installing WinXP. Per the instructions I had WinXP format the bootcamp partition, but the install hung near the end where it was trying to save settings. Apparently this is a common scenario that some people think is related to having a USB keyboard and mouse connected, but it still hung for me even if I connected a wired keyboard and mouse.
Lots of reports of similar problems on the web, and I tried a number of suggestions I found here and elsewhere, including:Attached an external DVD drive. The install DVD doesn't get ejected, but I still get the folder/question mark and failure to reboot for all the installation DVDs. I suspect that my model MBP doesn't handle booting from external optical drives very well, if at all. Make copies of the install DVDs. Although the copies seem to work the same as the originals on my iMac, they produce the same results using both internal and external optical drives.Made a number of different bootable USB sticks, but never found a way to have the required guid partition table at the same time as the Windows boot image, so they weren't bootable on my MacBook Pro.Installed rEFIt and tried using that to boot from USB (still not recognized as a bootable device) and from internal and external drives containing the original or copied installation DVDs. Still get the folder/question mark icon.
Generally after clicking on Start Installation the system won't boot from the internal drive, but sometimes holding Option works; other times it just refuses to boot until I've tried it multiple times or booted from the Snow Leopard install disk and adjusted the boot record.
Supposedly listening to the drive and tapping on the case works, but not for me. I haven't yet tried loosening the mounting brackets because I'm still looking for a T6 driver, but that's another common suggestion.
