Windows Is Sent To BootCamp

Do you miss windows?..

Probably not but i bet you have a stack of games and applications that just wont run on Mac (minor flaw is compatibility)? This is where Apple....yes Apple themselves help out, with BootCamp. BootCamp is a free piece of software that allows you to dual boot your mac, meaning you can choose to run Windows XP (XP with SP2 CD required) or Mac each time you load.

First burning a Mac drivers cd (so that the mac keyboard, webcam, mouse etc are compatible) you are asked to partition the Mac. Unlike Windows which can take a long time to partition or require restarts etc Mac is nice and simple. Just select how much space you want to give to Windows (i chose 8gb, not much but enough for a few big games) and click 'Partition'.

After this you can install Windows XP with SP2 on your Mac. When you load the computer you then simply hold 'alt' at the beginning to bring up your choices 'Mac' or 'Windows'.

I cannot promise that all games and applications will work but i have tested the games, The Sims 2 and Black and White and they run beautifully (even faster than on a Windows computer in some cases).

Unfortunately although you can see the Windows hard drive as 'Untitled' on the Mac you are unable to send files to the Windows partition and will have to use an external USB drive or other storage device to move data between the two partitions.
