Boot camp in leopard

I was here in the forums and one of the answers of a question i had made said that boot camp was free in leopard is that true or a miss understood? If it is true please tell me how if it's not can you tell me other ways for booting windows?
The windows that i boot has an antivirus right and a firewall?

Boot Camp is included with Leopard, but you need your own copy of Windows (for Boot Camp, it has to be on a single disc, with a 32-bit version of Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later; Boot Camp will not accept OEM versions such as versions bundled with a Windows PC - it has to be a retail version).
Also, Windows XP SP2 and Vista have a built-in firewall, but you will need to find and install an antivirus yourself.
Edit: I now see that the OP's question dates back to November…

  • Will Boot Camp in leopard work with 64 bit Windows Vista Ultimate?

    I installed Boot Camp beta in Tiger. Then I installed the 64 bit version of windows Vista Ultimate. Many drivers were not installed such as the keyboard mapping driver. I bought Leopard. Should the version of Boot Camp in Leopard work with the 64 bit Windows Vista Ultimate or would I probably encounter the same driver problems? Should I delete the Windows partition before upgrading to Leopard and then install the 32 bit version of Windows Vista Ultimate for all the drivers to work properly?
    Please advise what to do.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    Hi,
    since the 'new' BootCamp 2.0 also only includes Driver support for the 32-bit Windows versions, you will get a 2nd Encounter.
    Is there a specific reason for you to use the 64-bit versions, apart from maybe the 4GB RAM 'issue' ?
    Installing the 32-bit version and then the Drivers from the OSX DVD should give you all the drivers needed.
    Regards

  • Trying to install boot camp on Leopard - disc cannot be partitioned.......

    Hi
    I have upgraded to Leopard and tried to install bootcamp last night only to get the same message as above.
    +"the disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved"+
    It goes on to say.....
    +back up disk and use disk utility to format it as a single mac extendable (journaled) volume. estore your information to the disk and try using boot camp again.+
    *I have a few issues:*
    1. my volume is already formatted to mac extendable with journal.
    2. what software do i use to back up my existing volume?
    3. What is the best way to remedy this?
    TIA

    Hiya
    I eventually had to do a back up of;
    mail
    safari
    +important .dmg files+
    iphoto
    itunes
    movies
    +other major stuff I wanted to keep+ .....
    ......to my external HDD and selected the option to do a clean installation for Leopard, rather than an upgrade. From reading other posts, bootcamp possibly has a problem installing on a HDD that has been 'used' - IYKWIM
    As soon as the new fresh version of Leopard appeared. I installed bootcamp with no problems on my mac.
    The only problem I am now facing it that when it boots up to WinXP, I lose connection of my bluetooth mouse/keyboard - due to apple installing the required drivers from the Leopard DVD. I will fix this on Monday when I get a hold of a USB mouse. '-)
    The only other major thing to do is print out the bootcamp instructions before you start the process - they help a lot - I needed to refer to them, even though I have installed windows plenty of time through the years.

  • Install boot camp snow leopard and mountain lion

    Is it possible to install boot camp on a 2009 Mac Pro to run both Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion? The startup drive is already partitioned. I need to run two different versions of Final Cut Studio (and all the accompanying apps) and this seems the best way to keep them segregated. I know that I can run them both in Snow Leopard, but I have two different sets of Motion templates which need to be accessed.

    Alrighty, I do appreciate your time. I had already tried parallels and that was a huge waste of time. You blow away their support, by the way.
    Just to confirm assumptions before I do this, sorry, I'm an engineer.
    1. The startup drive is partitioned already.
    2. Partition (1) contains Snow Leopard and a user account.
    3. Partition (2) currently contains a media library, does not have an OS on it, and has 232 GB free.
    4. I will install Mountain Lion on partition 2 using the dmg downloaded from the app store.
    5. That partition will then become the startup drive when using mountain lion.
    6. Partition 2 will have its own user account, applications, etc.
    Almost forgot. Do I need to erase and install on that partition or can I simply install? After this I owe you a beer.

  • Boot Camp - Snow Leopard MAJOR ISSUE

    Ok, I'm sort of new to the Apple arena and have been running a MacPro under BootCamp with Windows XP on the other side. I set BootCamp up to run Windows priority and thus to get the Apple side I held down the Alt key at start up and selected Mac HD to go to Apple.
    Furthermore, I been working on the Apple side more and more to learn FCP. So, I recently updated FCS2 to FCS3 . . AND . . while at it updated to Snow Leopard. Now comes the change and the problem.
    Since upgrading to Snow Leopard I had not started up Windows even once, because the boot up priority changed from Windows default to Mac default. Now perhaps that should have alarmed me but it didn't because again I am trying to get more FCP screen time to learn it and thus decided I liked that boot process and would just leave it.
    Well, today I booted with the Alt key and selected Windows and sure enough Windows booted HOWEVER the mouse will move all over the screen BUT it cannot click or select anything on the screen. Also, when moving the cursor to the task bar an hour meter appears AND one can do nothing. In addition, right click does nothing and CntlAltDel does nothing, nor does Esc or any other key(s) for that matter.
    I have two MAJOR pieces of work on the Windows side that I need to finish up that include over 200 man hours of work and even if I could just get it running for a matter of one day I would be fine because as I have already said, I am moving to FCP and those two are all that is left in Avid.
    Any suggestions? Please anyone help. The one project could result in a major lawsuit that could cost me over 4000 + legal + the over 200 hours I have paid for already. Thanks in advance to anyone who responds.

    OK I got it working but what a nightmare. I will outline it here for those so coming to the same threshold.
    If the above happens try:
    1. Boot and chose Win disc couple times.
    2. Boot and chose Mac disc and insert the SL and explore not install.
    3. Shut down.
    4. Boot and chose Win disc.
    5. Screen should now be operatble and the keyboard and mouse functional.
    6. The last option is Boot Camp drivers.
    Don't go haywire when it uninstalls all the drivers then installs them and they are not all there. Also, I'm not sure you even have to do all this although I let it in accordance with the way it suggested it wanted and it took me forever to get it all straightened up and I'm still updating Windows and the like.
    Also, IE 8.0 simply WILL NOT install nor open any more and thus no Windows Updates. Looks like my Windows/BootCamp update has been ruined by the SL update. Bummer, cuz I will now have to re-set-up the 2, XW8200's that I just disassembled to get rid of and thus I'll be back on PC/Windows . . again!! :o(

  • Boot Camp on Leopard Server?

    Does Leopard Server come with Boot Camp?
    Or just the client?

    The Boot Camp Assistant doesn't appear to be provided with Mac OS X 10.5 Server.

  • Boot Camp and Leopard

    When you turn on computer holding down "option" key should bring up a menu to select Windows or Mac ...... it does not appear after I installed Leopard. Anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussion Board!
    Jay, when you say it doesn't appear, do you mean it did before or this is your first time setting up boot camp?

  • Boot Camp Snow leopard Help! Please answer!

    I want to run Win 7 through Boot camp. I have to back up my drive and reformat my hard drive. I have Snow Leopard installed. But the installation disk for my mac is Leopard. Will I lose Snow Leopard when i reformat?

    HI Michael,
    If you reformat the drive before using BootCamp you will have to reinstall Snow Leopard on the Mac OS X partition.
    Reformatting completely erases the hard disk.
    I highly recommend you read the BootCamp Setup and Installation Guide before you do anything.
    *Make sure and back up all important data first before reformatting the hard drive.*

  • Upgraded Boot Camp with Leopard - now constant restart

    ** Apologies for cross-posting. Just realized I was in the wrong topic thread.**
    Hi,
    Have been running XP SP2 on Boot Camp Beta since March - all good.
    Upgraded this morning to Leopard using DVD, installation went smoothly.
    Now everytime I startup in XP, I get to the desktop, and then XP restarts back in Leopard.
    Have tried it both with my Bluetooth keyboard & mouse, as well as the USB keyboard & mouse.
    Any help would be most appreciated!

    I have the same problem and spent hours on the phone with apple. Still no resolution.
    It's not their OS, but it is their software, and the DO have to support it.
    Don't take no for an answer. They support bootcamp and the windows drivers. (says so on the apple support page) It is their drivers that are causing the crash.
    They absolutely have to support you, me and everyone else that has this problem.
    If you call Microsoft they will identify it as a driver problem, and then tell you to call your hardware manufacturer for a new driver. The same thing they do to every one who owns a DELL, or and HP.
    I have been searching the forums on this for a while. Previously some smart guys on the boards tracked it to apples screen brightness.exe control. The work around was to disable it. You loose the control but windows boots every time. After 1.4 came out this didn't work for me any more. I found that I had to uninstall apple's bootcamp control panel. Once I did that windows started every time since, but again I lost the controls.
    I haven't tried this since upgrading, because I haven't been able to get in to windows to do it.

  • ITunes library and Boot Camp (Snow Leopard and Windows 7)

    At the moment, I'm using a Macbook Pro running both OS X and Windows 7 Ultimate using Bootcamp to facilitate this.
    The problem that I have is that I keep my iTunes library on an external HDD. In OS X, this isn't a problem as the OS X version of iTunes manages the music on it; adding new podcasts that it downloads and also adding new CDs that I rip to the HDD.
    In Windows 7, I installed iTunes and have only run a single "Add folder to library", meaning that only the music that was on the HDD on the first instance is recognised by iTunes. This means that if I were to switch from Windows 7 to OS X, download some podcasts and then go back into Windows 7, iTunes in Windows 7 won't find these new podcasts.
    The other (and nowhere near important issue) is that if I forget to disconnect my iPhone before switching over to Windows 7, iTunes in Windows 7 will wipe the apps from it.
    Does anyone know how I may be able to resolve this

    Your iMac supports OS X Mavericks, so make a backup of your files in Mac OS X and Windows, open the Mac App Store and download OS X Mavericks for free. Check that your apps are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com
    OS X Mavericks includes Boot Camp Assistant 5, but it's compatible with Macs that can only use Boot Camp 4. Note that you only have the Boot Camp Assistant as the version 5, and not the drivers or anything else, so there's no problem in installing a 32-bit Windows 7 version if you want. Also, you won't lose your Windows copy after upgrading to OS X Mavericks, so don't worry

  • Boot Camp of Leopard and Parallels

    The leopard install DVD wants to update bootcamp but I am running parallels and thus it finishes with an unspecified error and can not update bootcamp window drivers for XP Prof. What do I do now?
    XP still seems to run fine after this, though.
    Thx
    Dick

    All the drivers I needed were on the SL DVD, except for NVIDIA--which I just downloaded and installed.

  • Boot Camp & Snow Leopard

    Hi forum. I've used BC on 10.5 often. It works great.
    My question is this:
    Does anyone know if there are any differences with the BC Drivers on the 10.5 DVD compared to the BC Drivers on the 10.6 DVD? Assuming there are BC Drivers on 10.6 DVD. I haven't tried it yet. Also, my main reason for asking this is I wonder if there are drivers optimized for Windows 7 RC?
    Thanks for your comments.

    Thanks for your quick response!
    One last question... you say new drivers... does that mean UPDATED WINDOWS DRIVERS or just the same drivers but "newer" because it's on a newer disc.
    I would agree with what you said however that there is probably not any Windows 7 specific drivers as it isn't public yet. My guess is that the "newer" drivers are most likely the same as on 10.5 but with SW for the new MBP's and other HW.
    Thanks.

  • Boot camp and switching between OS's

    I haven't made a partition from Boot camp yet but am planning to for vista for certain apps which don't have a mac version. My question is that I was under the impression, from I think the WWDC Keynote, that the new boot camp would allow the user to switch between Windows and Mac OS X without restarting the computer, but through putting one side to sleep and then waking or booting up the other (it wouldn't allow them to run simultaneously but at least you wouldn't have to restart every time). As far as I can tell no one is able to do this yet. Are they still going to add this feature in to boot camp or Leopard? Or is it already there and I don't know where to look? Or am I just going bonkers and imagining things?

    I'm well aware that boot camp won't run two OS's simultaniously. But I was under the impression from a Keynote before it was released that the new bootcamp would allow you to switch between the two OS's _without restarting_. There are differences between simultaneous usage and switching without restarting. And no VMWare and Parallels will not cut it for what I will be doing (boot camp is a far better choice for my use). Just to clarify I can live with restarting to get to one side or the other but I'm just asking if it were possible in boot camp to switch between without restarting yet, as I remember being mentioned before Leopard was released.

  • Problems in Boot Camp with Wifi and internal speakers

    I loaded boot camp from Leopard with no known issues on installation. However, my wireless and internal speakers, which work fine in Leopard, do not work in Boot Camp. I'm guessing it's a driver problem, but I don't know how to proceed. I've tried reinstalling...
    Any help is appreciated.
    Kerry

    Hi Kerrywm, I have exactly the same problem. I can get my Apple Bluetooth keyboard to work fine after I set it up using a wired keyboard. But after a single reboot, the wireless keyboard is 'lost' in Windows XP. It's a real nuisance, it's like the Bluetooth 'preferences' for the keyboard are not remembered by Windows XP after restart. One exception however, after restart, seems to be that the top right hand key, the CD eject key on the keyboard, does work as a '+ volume' control key - its really odd! Fox.

  • Boot Camp Icon Question

    I have my Windows/BootCamp Hard Drive partitioned. I would like to change the icon of it when in Mac mode but does not allow me to copy and paste.
    What must I do to make this work?

    Boot from your Snow Leopard install DVD snd run Disc Utilities to Verify & Repair your drive.  If that doesn't resolve it, make a full backup and then format & restore your backup.
    Usually when you get the error message you reported, it means that the drive is fragmented and a critical file can't be moved.  Booting from the Install DVD might be enough to let the Disk Utility fix the drive, but it might require the backup/restore in order to "defrag" the parttion.  I had that happen to me back when I installed Boot Camp under Leopard.
