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 15macbook 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

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
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.

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
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
Hi Adrian
As Gavin said I think you are better off using a virtual machine :)
So:
Fusion
Parallels
Virtual Box

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.

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.

You could also try your local PC shops too as they may still have XP in stock.
I agree with Susan about choosing XP over Vista, having said that I

I would also choose XP Pro over XP Home. I would rate XP Home as a

Windows XP is still available, but interestingly even our suppliers don't

Just bought Leopard, and am thinking about buying Windows XP to run

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

One question though, why use the Win version of Filemaker? It is such an
