Hi Neil, I presume you have read and tried this: Convert Existing LXR*TEST 5.1 Macintosh Formatted Banks for Use in LXR*TEST 6.1 As a courtesy to our LXR*TEST 6.1 customers, we have included a copy of the LXR*TEST 5.1 Mac-to-Windows Ban

windows on a mac

Hi all I have the unfortunate job of trying to run windows xp on a mac. Windows on any computer is dog. My mac is a 15"macbook pro running 10.6.8. The windows xp is a DEET version run using VMware Fusion 4.1.1. On this I am trying to run a data base called LXR Test 6.1. After many hours on the n

Re: Windows on a Mac

Hi Pat, The disk you have XP Pro installed in Bootcamp is still on an Internal Disk, not an External Drive. So, yes of course it works fine. "Boot Camp Assistant creates a partition for Windows on your computer’s startup or other internal disk." Adrian has an iMac with one Hard drive. Cheers

Re: Windows on a Mac

My Mac Pro, 10.6.2, has 3 hard disks, and I have XP Pro on both a Boot Camp partition on one of the hard disks (not the startup disk) and Parallels on another disk. There was no problem setting up the Boot Camp partition on the non-startup disk. If computing speed is a consideration, some app

Re: Windows on a Mac

Yes Gav, Windows requires its own partition on your computer's internal startup disk. Boot Camp Assistant creates a second partition on your startup disk … Cheers, Ronni On 26/03/2010, at 11:26 AM, Gavin Criddle wrote: > > Hi Adrian, > > I haven't tried it but I believe installing boot camp

uot;Expanding Disk" recommended install in Parallels is great, as it just expands as Windows requires more space. If you really have to use Windows on a Mac, I highly recommend Parallels 5. Cheers, Ronni On 26/03/2010, at 11:16 AM, Roger Kortas wrote: > > Hi Adrian > > As Ga

Re: Windows on a Mac

Hi Adrian, I haven't tried it but I believe installing boot camp to an external drive is a painful process. If you're doing that, I'd recommend a virtual machine and keeping it on the virtual drive if space is an issue. Gav On 26/03/2010, at 11:17 AM, Adrian Skehan wrote: > > Thanks Gavin,

Re: Windows on a Mac

Thanks Gavin, I dont want to sacrifice that much space so I will look at using a small external drive. Regards, Adrian adrianske...@me.com On 26/03/2010, at 10:48 AM, Gavin Criddle wrote: > > Hi Adrian, > > 20 gigs would be heaps if you were just going to install 7, your software and > ha

Re: Windows on a Mac

Hi Adrian As Gavin said I think you are better off using a virtual machine :) So: Fusion Parallels Virtual Box If you want to buy Parallels there is a good deal on at the moment at http://www.mupromo.com/ Have a look. Roger On 26/03/2010, at 10:42 AM, Adrian Skehan wrote: > > Good mornin

Re: Windows on a Mac

Hi Adrian, 20 gigs would be heaps if you were just going to install 7, your software and have room for updates and a bit of processing. You'd probably end up taking around 10 gigs for Windows 7. Personally, I'd put more if you can afford it - resizing the bootcamp partition sucks, and you do

Windows on a Mac

Good morning all, Can some one please advise me how much disk space will be take if I install Windows 7 on an iMac (Intel & Snow Leopard) using Boot Camp or other appropriate software. I do not intend installing a lot of windows application as I only require it to run Family Search software a

Re: Windows on a Mac...to show the others...

Hi Mike, you would need to check on the minimum space requirements for Windows XP, but it should be possible if you have 30g free at present. You won't have much room for an expanding iphoto library on the Macbook afterwards. The good news is that you can use the same installation of Windo

Windows on a Mac...to show the others...

Hi all Just bought Leopard, and am thinking about buying Windows XP to run with Bootcamp. But Parallels sounds a better idea, as you can run both OS at the same time. But it's slower. Hmmm. Can one copy of XP be used by both Bootcamp and Parallels...Bootcamp for the speed if I need it and
