Fusion/boot camp thread
I have been following the fusion verses Boot Camp thread to running Windows on a Mac. There are obviously positive and negatives which either path one tends to go down. As I am going to install Windows 7 on my Mac perhaps someone could clarify the following few points. Am I to believe that using the Boot Camp method to install Windows one needs sighted assistance . And once installed, can a visually impaired person Boot into Windows without sighted help. I know that if going down the Fusion path, all sighted help can be gotten rid of and total independence achieved. Many thanks for any thoughts.

RE: Fusion/boot camp thread
Hello, You do not necessarily need sighted assistance when installing Windows on Boot Camp, and you definitely don't need it when booting to Windows.

Re: Fusion/boot camp thread
Hi, Can you please go into detail? The only way I recall installing Windows on a Bootcamp partition is actually by sighted help. You need to get someone to select the right partition, then go through part of the setup before you can bring up Narrator at the setup screen. Unless you are very daring and just start hitting buttons.

RE: Fusion/boot camp thread
It involves using Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) to generate an XML file with the answers that are needed for propper setup of Windows Vista and 7. You can choose the correct partition, create user accounts and much more. XP is not quite as simple. .

Re: Fusion/boot camp thread
Hi, yes, but how would you get to them before actually installing? With any accessibility, that is. Unless, of course, you can access the part of the partition that already exists with the Mac. But then you'd have to shut everything down, check the logs, then start it up again. The error might hold up the install. As a side note, THe AIK is huge. I'd be interested if you could write me privately as well with some tips with the AIK, getting around it if errors happen, etc. I'd like to attempt it again at some point with Windows 7. I'd like to trust automation of this kind of task just a little bit. Thanks.
