A freind of mine the other day asked me how I installed boot camp on my mac. Although you can find the info on apple’s website, I thought I will create this, just to help me out. \u00c2\u00a0Here goes :<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Installing Windows on your Mac computer involves the following steps:<\/p>\n

Step 1: Run Boot Camp Assistant. \u00c2\u00a0(\/applications\/utilities\/boot camp assistant<\/strong>) Click here to see the location<\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Boot Camp Assistant helps you with these tasks:<\/li>\n
  2. Creating a partition for Windows<\/li>\n
  3. Boot Camp Assistant creates a partition for Windows on your computer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s startup or\u00c2\u00a0other internal disk.<\/li>\n
  4. Starting the Windows installation<\/li>\n
  5. Boot Camp Assistant gets you started with the Windows installation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Step 2: Install Windows.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Boot camp needs Window XP2 or Windows Vista. \u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Step 3: Install the Boot Camp drivers on your Windows volume<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Log in to an administrator account on your computer, quit all open applications, and\u00c2\u00a0log out any other users on your computer.<\/li>\n
    2. Open Boot Camp Assistant (located in \/Applications\/Utilities\/) and follow the onscreen\u00c2\u00a0instructions to create a windows \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0partition.\u00c2\u00a0<\/li>\n
    3. \u00c2\u00a0Set the size of the partition you want to allocate for Windows and click create partition.\u00c2\u00a0<\/li>\n
    4. Once the partition is ready click Start installation and just follow the instructions<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Once XP2 or Vista has been installed, you need to install the boot camp drivers for Windows, for that you need to \u00c2\u00a0:<\/p>\n

      1 Eject the Windows installation disc\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Go to My Computer.<\/li>\n
      2. \u00c2\u00a0Select the optical drive (D:).<\/li>\n
      3. Click \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Eject this disk\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in the System Tasks list.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        2 Insert the Mac OS X disc.<\/p>\n

        If the installer doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorer and \u00c2\u00a0double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.<\/p>\n

        3 Follow the onscreen instructions.<\/p>\n

        If a message appears that says the software you are installing has not passed Windows\u00c2\u00a0Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.<\/p>\n

        Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t require your input.\u00c2\u00a0If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you must\u00c2\u00a0respond to. Check the taskbar and look behind open windows.<\/p>\n

        Important: <\/em>Do not click the Cancel button in any of the installer dialogs.<\/p>\n

        4 After your computer restarts, follow the instructions in the Found New Hardware\u00c2\u00a0Wizard to update your software drivers (Windows XP only).<\/p>\n

        5 Follow the instructions for any other wizards that appear.<\/p>\n
