i've seen a few other threads related to this, but none seem too definitive.
Now that Windows 7 is out, I'm sure many of us will want to run that. I resisted Vista because it sucked, but I want to put 7 on my comp.My university issued me a download of Windows 7 professional 64-bit. Right now I'm running XP 32-bit. I downloaded the windows 7 .iso and burnt it to a DVD.
I tried to boot from the CD, but it didn't work, it brought me to my Mac partition. I kinda realized that was a stupid idea, and started looking for an answer to my strains.Microsoft says you can't just upgrade from 32- to 64-bit, you'll need to do a full install. I for sure want to run 64-bit, to optimize it's performance.So, it looks like I'm going to have to delete my XP partition and get a new one for Windows 7.I'm running Leopard 10.5.8 which has BootCamp 2.0. I don't think it would support Windows 7. Should i first get a BootCamp 3.0??OTOH, is none of this necessary? Is there some way I can upgrade from XP (32-) to windows 7 (64-) just on my windows partition without having to interact with the mac partition?

I'm thinking about installing Windows 7 on my hard drive using Bootcamp. I'd like to know if in the future I decide to remove windows, am I able to remove the partition and revert back to the full hard drive space or not?

just trying to get back into Windows 7 after installing it via Boot Camp. Only thing is that holding down the option key during restart does nothing, and although the partition in which Windows 7 is installed under shows up in finder, I am unable to view it in system preferences so that I can boot from it.

Sophos found a PC virus in the attachment to a spam email. I trashed the email, and thought that I had gotten rid of the virus. Sophos tells me, however, that the attachment/virus still exists in the Time Machine back-up of my mail.
How do I remove a specific file (such as an email and attachment) in Time Machine?
Info:iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

OK i've been trying for months to share files between my 24" imac and my gateway laptop with windows 7. i got it to work a couple times for like a day then all of a sudden my PC doesn't recognize my Mac any more and it doesn't show up in the network. The mac has file sharing and SMB turned on. I've tried tons of different ways i've found online but nothing works so far.

I have two Apple 5870s on hand, a modular power supply on order as well as a crossfire bridge connector. I am taking it upon myself to rearrange the mac pro with two 5870s and test whether or not crossfire will work under Windows 7.

I am relatively new mac and networking for that matter! I am having trouble seeing my mac on my Windows 7 PC, I guess the biggining is a good place to start, so here is what iv done. On my Macbook, I've gone to system preferences/network/airport/advanced/WINS and put in the name of my workgroup "WORKGROUP" and put my gateway ip in for the winservers. But not seeing the mac on the PC. I've been struggling all week trying to share a drive out from a mac and mount it remotely onto a windows 7 machine. Also I haven't been able to see any of my macs in the network in windows explorer on the windows 7 machine.
Eventually I found a solution, which I thought others may find useful:
Goto Start Menu
Search for: Local
Hit Enter
Select Local Security Policy
Goto Local Policies> Security Options
Double Click on Network security: LAN Manager Authentication
Change level to: Send LM # LTLM Responses
Then:
Goto Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP
De-select Require 128-bit encryption
Hit OK
But still no luck, all I want to be able to do is move files back and forth from the Mac to pc, and visa-versa.

I installed windows 7 on my macbook using bootcamp and apple told me how to log in under mac osx but they wouldn't help me beyond that.
when I log in under windows, there's no volume even though I've tried adjusting the volume. the screen is @ a low resolution and I've said "fine, that won't affect the machine's performance and it may take up more room anyway, I think?" I can't right click on anything. Also~ very important~ I can't get wi~fi under windows. However, all these things are not an issue when I log in under Mac OSX and everything works exactly as it did before I loaded Windows. I think I need drivers for windows but how do I get them??????
the reason I loaded windows in the first place was I have an external hard drive that has I believe 80 gigs of my music, pictures, documents, and other data. I did not know there was that many gigs of data on there and I had to guess as to the size partition I wanted for windows. I ended up making a 50 gig partition. I didn't know if it was possible to uninstall windows and reinstall it. I bought this copy of windows new and have only used it on this macbook. Also I don't have any data under windows (nothing I care about,anyway) only some music and other data under Mac OSX.
which brings me to another issue. When I log into windows, it says, "This copy of Windows is not genuine." But it is!
So these are my issues~
~how do I get windows drivers to fix keyboard issues?
~is it possible to uninstall windows and reinstall it so it has more gigs?
~why to goodness is it telling me this copy of windows isn't genuine?
~and I'm saying all this @ once because I don't know where to begin and I would really appreciate your help and time.

Question - how do I get started? I currently have Vista loaded on my BootCamp partition. Do I launch Vista, and run the Windows7 upgrade installation from Windows? Or do I do this from BootCamp?Note that this is an upgrade disc, not a full/initial install version.

I have a problem with my iMac 24inch Graphic card. Actually I decided to install windows7 on my iMac 24inch early 2009. After the installation of its graphic card (Geforce GT120), the iMac turns off suddenly after a while. I tried to find the solution but I was unable to recognise it. A friend told me that the problem goes back to the bios(firmware) update and I have to update it, but as I'm currently using windows7 I have no idea how to do that.

iMac, Windows

I went to install XP on boot camp and I accidentily installed it on the wrong partition, so the drive that had leopard on it is now formatted to NTFS and I cannot format it back. I beleive all my data is still on because there is a lot of used disc space. I want to convert it back to HFS without the loss of data, as I have important information on the hard drive that I do not want to lose. I know this is my own fault because I wasn't paying close enough attention to where I was installing Windows

Anyone have any idea of a feature that was originally going to be in Boot Camp, allowing it to switch very quickly between a hibernated version of Windows and a sleeping version of Leopard, is gonna be back for Snow Leopard?
Apparently the feature was dropped before the final version...
This would've been awesome, would love to see it back...
