I never used bootcamp before but i use virtual box and run a slimmed down windows xp inside Mac os x faster than my mothers new laptop that runs vista. I can help you set up virtual box if you need.

@ Cyber: Whats the diff between them?


RE: BootCamp - x CYBeRCoRE x - 10-08-2009

Using bootcamp is installing the OS on your harddrive and booting from it natively. Using virtual box ( virtual machine ) is installing it on a virtual harddrive and running it from inside your current OS.

But just use the above posters TUT it seems very easy

Ah ok, Im gonna figure things out before and than If I decide Virtual Box, Ill come back too you. Big Grin
Ehm, I was thinking instead of running Windows as the bootcamp, is it possible to run Linux?
Some one lemme know

Yeah you can but if you want to get rid of the ubuntu partition i think you have to reformat the whole HD because the ubuntu format isnt ntfs or fat32 so boot camp doesnt recognize it

You should definitely use bootcamp because it allows you to focus all your ram on windows.


RE: BootCamp - tommyisfuego1 - 10-08-2009

@ cyber: hmm sounds interesting, Ill have to research about it..

@ deesyre: lol, Im going to guess you prefer xp> mac Big Grin
