Can I take a PC's contents and place it on a disk partition?

I have an existing Windows PC (XP SP2) I would like to put on my Mac.
Can I just take its contents and place it on a partition, then install the drivers? Or do I have to do a fresh install, get a new disk, yadda yadda yadda?

Clarification: Can I take the files and Windows components of the PC and place it on the Mac using an external HD or other transfer method?

    THE use of the apple support is a mess also.
    I want to be able to use my MAC fully and easily like I used to with Snow Leopard. 
    What is wrong with this maverick OS?

    The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
    You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

    How can I take photoshop off one couputer and put it on another?

    Hi Beth, welcome to the discussions!
    Might be a good idea to also post over in the iPhoto forum if you haven't tried this yet as this is a common topic on their boards.
    You may be able to get your iPhoto library back by rebuilding it. I've done it, but's it's been a long time, so don't want to mislead you on anything. The guys over in the iPhoto forum are real experts and should have some fixes for you.

  • Can you take photos on digital camera and see them appear on the ipad using the camera connector

    Can you take photos on digital camera and see them appear on the ipad - i have a canon 400d and the new ipad.......

    The camera connection kit accepts only SD camera memory cards.
    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

    Can I take a PDF from iBooks and make it a numbers document?

    To do this on your phone, copy and paste them into your document (tap and hold on the photo to copy it).  If you need to import it to your computer to do this, save it to the camera roll by tapping Edit, tap the photos you want to import, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  You can then import them to your computer using your usb cable (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083).  Alternatively, attach them 3-4 at a time emails and send them to yourself.

  • How do I take pictures off my nano and place them on my computer?

    How do I take pictures off my nano and place them on my computer?
    I open the drive... and there are 4 folders, contacts, calendar, notes and photos (in photos there is a folder called thumbs and a file called photo database) Not to mention my music is nowhere to be found on the drive...
    Is it even possible to take photos and songs off a ipod and place them on a computer?

    If you only copied the photos as thumbnails (and it seems you did), you can't do this by enabling disk use and dragging the photos from iPod to computer so you'll need a program such as this one.
    CopyPod Photo
    Photos as thumbnails won't be of the original quality when copied back to your computer.

  • Can you take a non-ecommerce template and add ecommerce to it.

    I am looking at non-ecommerce templates and would like to add ecommerce to a non-ecommerce template later on for future use. Is this possible?
    Can you take content from one template and add it to another?

    Well in theory you could take a car and turn it into a motorbike.
    IS it practical? Is it cost effective? Is it manageable/ scalable? Will it ever be a high end performer?
    THe answer is, it'll work. But no it'll never be great and there's loads of reasons why you wouldn't do it.
    VEry much like like working with template websites in general really. There's no substitute for a proper thought out/ designed website, with a proper bespoke build
