BootCamp, MacDrive and Gaming

I recently got a mac book pro, I am looking at installing boot camp for gaming. I want to keep the windows partition as small as possible i.e. have only the OS on there to allow for maximum flexibility. So i was thinking that i could simply install Windows XP on a 5Gb partition, then use MacDrive to allow installation of windows games on the main (MacOS hfs+j) partition. My question is, is this possible? i.e. does MacDrive allow for the installation of programs on a mac formatted drive? Particularly Steam?
I have searched all the web and have not been able to find an answer, if anyone has had such a setup working/not working your input would be greatly appreciated.

I wouldn't recommend it. I have been trying on my MBP and everything's up to date (10.5.2 + Vista SP1). I have been using Macdrive7 and yes it does allow you to install games on your Mac Partition(s) although I have had three vista BlueScreens of death and my external (HFS+J) has been "Damaged" as Leopard and Vista have put it and have had to back everything up and try again twice but it seems that if Windows has a tantrum and your drives don't get disconnected properly it will leave them read only and you have to reformat them. All of the BlueScreens have happened while installing to the Mac formatted drive. A few installs worked fine. I'm currently trying to find out why it's happening which is why I've buggered it a few times. I haven't tried installing on my Mac boot volume because I don't want to damage that.

  • Created second partition in bootcamp Windows and converted whole disk from basic to dynamic

    Hi everyone. I don't post here often however I hope the following helps someone else down the road.
    I currently user ML and have bootcamp installed. I needed more space on my ML partition so decided to free up space from bootcamp. Going about this completely the wrong way I booted into my bootcamp partition, ran the computer management app and shrank my boot camp partition by 8 GB. This created free unused space which I decided to format over to NTFS with a view to booting back into ML, deleting and adding to my ML partition (how wrong was I).
    Prior to completing the format of the newly created free space in bootcamp I was presented with the usual 'yes' / 'no' warning dialogue saying something along the lines of 'formatting this disk from basic to dynamic will prevent any installed operating systems from booting'. I made three monumental blunders at this stage: a) not reading the dialoge box b) completely disregarding the severity of the warning in the diaglogue box c) (you guessed it) pressing 'yes'.
    The moment I pressed yes it was the start of a four hour feeling of grief as I thought of the last 6 years of my life wiped from below my nose with no time machine backup.
    Upon rebooting bootcamp to get into ML the reality of the situation hit home as no OSX boot, no apple logo, no boot sound, my mac is trying to boot into windows without the option key being held in or warning to present me with a BSOD.
    One thought in my mind: "oh Sh*t!!!"
    3.5 hours passes and much reading online, learning of linux commands, downloading of linux distros, finding out how to install software and successfully setup a bootable linux usb and I'm typing this up on my mac while I time machine my data away to a freshly formatted external drive. Many lessons learned.
    This is what I did amongst the vacating of my bowels and absorption of much nicotine.
    There are two pointers to this guide. I was lucky enough to have another computer at hand to conduct the research and create a bootable usb. It a windows 7 toshiba z930. So you're going to need at a minimum: another computer (windows for the guide), a usb stick 2~4GB should be ok.
    1) download a linux iso, I downloaded ubuntu, you can download what ever you like, but you're going to need linux (the rest of my mini guide will use ubuntu 13.10 during examples) http://www.ubuntu.com/start-download?distro=desktop&bits=64&release=latest
    2) download Universal USB Stick Installer 1.9.5.1 (from now on as UUSI) http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloads/Universal-USB-Installer/Universal-USB-Ins taller-1.9.5.1.exe
    3) plug in your usb drive. make sure there is nothing on it that you need to keep as it will be formatted and lost. also plug your mac into a router connected to the internet. this will help prevent any issues with wireless drivers when booting into ubuntu later on.
    4) once the downloads are complete, run UUSI, get past the prompts until you get to the 'setup your selections page'
    5) (A) select 'ubuntu' from step 1. (B) browse to your freshly downloaded ubuntu iso in step 2. (C) tick show all drives. (D) select the drive letter of your usb in step 3. tick we will format *drive letter here*. (E) depending on the size of your usb set some persistent storage - I had an 8gb usb to hand so I set 1GB, less will probably do. (F) double check your settings and click create then let the program do it's thing, it can take some time depending on the speed of your usb drive, mine took 10 mins.
    6) safely remove the usb and plug it into your mac, turn the mac on and hold the option key, once the usb drive is found hit enter and select ‘try ubuntu without installing’
    7) wait for the ubuntu os to load and click the settings icon from the left tool bar
    8) under settings click user accounts
    9) click the + symbol in the bottom left hand corner
    10) select administrator from the account type box and type a name for your account then click add
    11) select the account and change the password, then confirm it and click change
    12) go back to the desktop and select the power off symbol in the top right hand corner and select your name from the list, this will log you out of your current session and ask you to log in under your newly created login
    13) once logged in click the settings icon again from the left hand menu and under settings go to software and updates
    14) in software & updates under the ubuntu software tab tick ‘community maintained free and open source software (universe)’ and ‘software restricted by copyright or legal issues (maintained)’ then click close and close the settings window. Also check at the bottom of this window under ‘installable from cd-rom/dvd’ for two entries ‘cdrom with ubuntu 13.10 ‘saucy salamander’ - uncheck on of these entries if both are the same. Not sure if this was just me or a common problem. I found that trying to do the apt-get update would run into errors at the end if one of the entries wasn't deselected.
    15) hold ctrl + alt + T to bring up the terminal
    16) in the terminal window type sudo passwd root then enter a password for the account
    17) in the same terminal window type sudo -i and enter the password given from step 16 if requested
    18) in the same terminal window type apt-get update and wait for the update to finish without errors
    19) in the same terminal windows type apt-get install testdisk and wait for the installation to finish without errors
    20) in the same terminal window type testdisk
    21) select create log and then the drive you want to work on e.g. your main apple OS hard disk then select proceed
    22) select your file system type - for my ML installation I had to select ‘EFI GPT’ I don’t know if this will be the same throughout all macs / macbooks
    23) select analyse, the step should take less than a few seconds and testdisk may report back errors with the partitions or it may proceed to the ‘current partition structure’ screen. If errors are displayed proceed past them until the next screen.
    24) at the ‘current partition screen’ select quick search, you will have an opportunity to backup your drive here. I won’t go through this step (never learn) as I did not complete it myself
    25) after the searching has completed all the partitions on the disk should be shown. Find your OSX partition using the size reference at the bottom by pressing the up and down keys. Once you have found the partition that relates to the OSX partition that is failing to start hit the right key to make it a primary partition a ‘P’ should show to the left of the partition data. I had to make sure my EFI System and Mac HFS (155GB) partitions were marked as primary.
    26) hit the enter key to continue to the next screen and use the right arrow key to select ‘write’
    27) the program will warn you it will write the partition table so hit ‘Y’ and a confirmation should be displayed that this has been successful.
    28) reboot the computer and remove the USB stick (i removed it at the white loading screen after the reboot, not sure if it makes any difference)
    29) allow the computer longer to boot, mine took about 35 seconds to show the apple symbol whereas it normally took between 3~7 seconds before I destroyed it.
    30) get into OSX and backup everything to time machine or whatever you use then it probably a good idea to kill off your bootcamp install and refresh your mac from the fresh backup.
    Hope this helps someone. I couldn’t find anything conclusive on the net when I ran into problems (all my own fault really for not reading the dialogues correctly) however I used bits from multiple forums and found out parts myself especially the linux parts as I don't know the os at all . Certainly won’t be making this mistake again anytime soon.
    Well I’ve had an awful night and have work in two hours but at least the last 6 years of my (now backed up) life is intact and in my hands. I’d rather lose a night of sleep than lose all my data.
    Sorry if some of the stuff above is wrong as I don't do this thing on osx / linux at all really. At least it might point you in the right direction.

  • I want to get an iMac to learn Logic Pro primarily and gaming secondly

    I am new to all this (computers, Logic Pro and video games) but I want to learn. Is an iMac a good computer to run Logic Pro (I am also considering Mac mini)? I am also wondering about the nvidia geforce gtx 780m with 4 gb dedicated ram. How many years down the road will this graphics card be good for. From what I hear pc gamers have to periodically be upgrading things like graphics cards on their computers to be able to play newer games in the future, but I don't have that option with say this graphics card on the 27 inch imac, so I guess my question is, for how long will this nvidia geforce gtx 780m with 4 gb dedicated ram be good for before it becomes obsolete, 3 years, 5 years ,maybe more or less I do not know. I was thinking about getting a Mac mini for the Logic Pro and getting a play station 4 for gaming or just getting thr iMac and use it for both Logic Pro and gaming and forget about the play station 4. I need some real help over here, so if anyone could please help me out I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you. P.S. I have also heard that the Mac mini is a good option for Logic Pro being that it has the integrated graphics card and Logic Pro is not a really graphic intensive app, so maybe I would be straight going the Mac mini and play station 4 route.

    You are better off getting a dedicated gaming box for gaming than using a Mac for heavy gaming.
    Unless you go with a top of the line iMac with just about all of the optional components, Macs do not make great heavy gaming machines. Plus, a gaming box is sooo much cheaper than a Mac for gaming.
    For using Logic, I would just go for the 21 inch screen iMac and get it with the optional  full 16 GBs of RAM and optional i7 CPU and, if you can afford all of the options, get this iMac with the optional Fusion drive, too!
    The combination SSD and hard drive in the fusion drive will help make up for the slower 5400 RPM drives that they are putting into only the 21 inch screen models.
    With this configuration, this iMac would last you, at least, 5 years.

  • Bootcamp trouble and iMac will not read DVD-R with Windows

    Hi,
    I have a late 2011(or maybe early 2012) imac that came with OS X Lion but it's been upgraded to Mountain Lion.. I'd like to bootcamp it and install Windows 8.
    I've been trying this for a long time now and then i discovered my imac was not bootable with a usb drive.. Bootcamp restarts and then there is a black which says 'bootable disk not found. insert and press any button' (something like that)... So... i dicided to try with a burned windows 8 dvd-r but when i burn an image to it in disk utility, it says 'medium write error' and the disk pops out... I already have all the windows drivers downloaded.... This is supposed to be a problem with the operating system... As you guys can see, i am having a lot of problems..
    Any solutions?
    Thanks in advance!

    I tried using Finder to open files but as they are greyed out this would not work.
    That sounds very strange - like it's a disk format issue.
    What is the disk format of the Sony DVD+R you are using? (Do a 'Get Info' when the disc is mounted on your Desktop.)

  • Changes to applications and gaming have no effect on WRT54Gv2.2 and restarting breaks routing

    If I power off my router and power it back on, nothing on my network can get out and none of the port forwarding works. 
    If I log into the router and use diagnostics to ping stuff outside my network it works just fine, but nothing on my network works any longer. 
    Also, even when it is working, making changes to the applications and gaming page has no effect.  Old entries on that page still forward to where they did before I made the changes, even though the router will show them going to the new place I told it to go to.  This is extremely frustrating because I eventually try restarting my router which gives the problem I mentioned above that I can no longer use the internet at all from any machine on my network even though my router is connected properly to the internet.
    The way I fix this is by loading an old configuration file and then loading back one with my current settings.  This also doesn't always work and it takes a lot of trial and error to get it back to normal.  This has been happening ever since I last upgraded the firmware, which I had to upgrade because automatically updating DynDNS was no longer working.  I can't find the old firmware anywhere on linksys' site so that I could test if it's a bug in the firmware.  This is my last resort before I buy a new router as it's driving me insane.

    Thank you ricewind, I installed a slightly earlier verson of the firmware and it appears to be working properly for the moment.  If the problem doesn't come back I'll report back that it's probably a bug in the version of the firmware I was using (which was WRT54GV4.0_4.21.1_US_code.bin)
    Thanks again

  • I used bootcamp assistant to partition my hard drive to install windows.  When I got to the part to install windows, I selected the bootcamp partition and then choose format as instructed but it would not continue stating that the partition was in GPT par

    Please help!!  I partitioned my macbook pro hard drive in bootcamp so that I could install windows.  Everything appeared fine until I got to the install part.  I selected the BOOTCAMP partition and then selected format as instucted.  That was it.  The install could not proceed because it says the partion is in the GPT format instead of NTSF.  At this point it erased the "BOOTCAMP" name from the partion but the partion still exists. 
    I tried to reform by going back on the OS side, in disk utitly, erase and format.  It will not allow me to select NSTF format.
    What do I do to fix this??
    Thanks for you comments.
    Kristina

    In Boot Camp Assistant when you select the format option the Boot Camp partition it automatically formats the Boot Camp partition as NTFS since this is what Windows requires. There is no option to select NTFS or any other format type.

  • Bootcamp x86 and x64 conflicting: How to remove x86?

    Hello. Through stubbornness, I bootcamped Windows 7 x64 to a MacBook that I realized (halfway through the process) was a year too old to support it. I don't remember much of what I did, but I have finally lost my ability to ignore the two copies of bootcamp running on my machine. I believe one is the x86 version while the other is the x64 version that I need. I have two of everything bootcamp (such as bootcamp manager), and I blame it for issues such as volume and display brightness adjusting two notches at a time.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can remove everything associated with bootcamp x86?
    Thanks!

    I fixed this a while ago. I just deleted the folder: /Windows/Program Files/Boot Camp/ and rebooted. That kept the extra one from starting up, but I don't think it removed everything associated with it.
    In Control Panel > Programs and Features, I noticed that I have Boot Camp 2.0 and Boot Camp 2.0.1 installed. Does anyone know if I can safely remove 2.0?
    I'm marking this answered, as this the only resource I know of that has a usable solution to this problem. Kind of a duh situation really, but we all have them.

  • WRT54G Applications and Gaming entries won't SAVE

    Whenever I go into the "Applications and Gaming" section of my WRT54G router settings and try and input anything in it doesn't save. It says SAVE SUCCESFUL BUT IT ISN'T!
    It used to save back when I first got the router but after I reinstalled windows it stopped working.
    Any help would be nice.
    And for some reason I can't upgrade the firmware I don't know if that has anything to do with the problem in the first place. But I have Firmware Version: v1.00.4. I don't know it that's the latest or what.

    Sounds like you might have corrupted firmware.  Reset your router back to factory default settings then try the TFTP.EXE program and upload the firmware to the router.

  • Does macbook pro of early 2011, macbook 17'' possess 3D vision and gaming ability?

    Does macbook pro of early 2011, macbook 17'' possess 3D vision and gaming ability?

    No 3D vision, but the top end 2.2+ 15" & 17" supports a pretty decent video card for 3D gaming, for a laptop, scores 30 on Cinebench. WOW will play on highest settings 50fps and better.
    But still a Windows tower smokes anything Apple has and you can replace the video cards, so if your serious, you should go there or get a Playstation, better bang for the buck.

  • Is there any way how i can download and run Window based games, with out installing Windows-thus Bootcamp? and if so, is it free?

    is there any way how i can download and run Window based games, with out installing Windows-thus Bootcamp? and if so, is it free?

    No, you must install Windows to run Windows software. You do not need to use Boot Camp (yes, it's free because it comes with OS X.)
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.
