Does boot camp require that you buy a copy of windows xp?

Does it? Or is there a built in windows xp?

Boot Camp allows you to run WinXP+SP2 or Vista. Neither is included with Leopard. You need to buy a full (not upgrade) copy of whichever OS(es) you want to run.

  • Does Boot Camp 3.0  support read/write capabilities from Window's (NTFS) to OS X?

    Will I be able to just click My Computer and view my complete OS X partition while in Window's (as well as write to it)?
    Supposedly I can according to the KB article, but after hand installing every part of the 3.0 update (because Apple just loves its users with older computers, so much so that they delete threads questioning the logistics of denying support) I noticed no difference what-so-ever.

    I would have to say that MacDrive is just one, and not always the best.

    Im thinking about downloading boot camp on my mac in order to play a game. Does boot camp only run specified programs? Or will it run anything that a windows computer could?

    Boot Camp makes it possible to run Windows, but you still need to buy Windows.

  • Does Boot Camp come with Microsoft Word, PowerPoint etc?

    I would like to install Boot Camp on my MacBook Pro with Retina Display (it comes with Boot Camp Assistant). I was wandering if Boot Camp has Mircrosoft Office and all the other ones? That is the only reason I really need to download. Help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Nope MS Office is not included with Boot Camp. A copy of Windows isn't included either. So you'll need to buy either or both depending on your needs.
    Boot Camp just helps you install Windows  on your Mac. That's it. The copy of Windows, you need to buy or own already.

  • Learning Macs.  How does "Boot Camp" work exactly?

    To whom it may concern:
    My friend just bought a Mac Book Pro and I just about ebay'd my current computer right there. I love it. Here's the problem though, he said that with "Boot Camp" the Mac runs on Windows, but does that mean when i use that Operating System, it's now classified as a PC? The current field that I am in uses AutoCAD for PC. Would i be able to load AutoCAD, the PC software, on the Mac when it's using "Boot Camp"? Or do I have this all wrong and PC software is still unusable on Macs? Any information regarding this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your time.
    Sincerely,

    You'll probably get better responses to your questions if you post them in the Bootcamp Forum.
    Just to touch on a few of your questions...

    PC means Personal Computer. Any home computer, laptop, etc. running any operating system is considered a PC.
    Installing Boot Camp followed by Windows Operating System on your MacBookPro means that you have a MacBookPro running the Windows Operating System. This is not unlike having a Dell Laptop running a Windows Operating System.
    Would i be able to load AutoCAD, the PC software, on the Mac when it's using "Boot Camp"?
    Yes, you would.

  • Does Boot Camp Assistant Partition It in GUID or MBR?

    Hi. Does Boot Camp Assistant partition using GUID or MBR? Does it initially format it with FAT32, leave it blank or format it with NTFS for the Windows installer to be able to detect it? How's the Windows installer able to see the Boot Camp partition made by the Assistant? Thank you in advance. Gbu.

    Microsoft recommends GPT for 2TB and larger volumes.
    MBR can't boot from a volume larger than 1.9TB.
    Windows 7 can see GPT just find, but not HFS+, and AppleHFS and MNT are buggy.
    Disk Utility can create a drive that uses MBR.
    GPT has support for sub-tables and for Master Boot Record.
    Apple's implementation of MBR might be on the weak side.
    Windows 7 wants to actually have and boot from the 100MB system partition.
    Apple, Intel, Microsoft, Sun etc are members of EFI Group and Unified EFI is supported on Windows Vista SP1 64-bit and later 64-bit versions, but Apple's is more proprietary and differs, but is the sole reason really for Apple's excluding and including which Macs are "supported" (which really isn't true) running Windows 64-bit (Vista/7) - that they have to have EFI64 or UEFI 2.x.
    The external drive is likely something else, as you could format a drive to GPT and NTFS and have it work fine.
    The best way to 'clean' a drive of all partition tables and volumes is with Windows and something like WD Lifeguard or similar tool.
    As for hybrid, while some Macs can now boot by default to 64-bit kernel mode, I prefer the "from the ground up" of Windows 7 64-bit which still supports and runs 32-bit apps, but of course mandates 64-bit drivers in places.
    Your Apple disks not only have GPT, but have to have other partitions like EFI (128MB) after any HFS partition. GPT does have an MBR - see the Apple tech note #2166.

    http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/storage/GPT_FAQ.mspx
    *Secrets of GPT* http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#technotes/tn2006/tn2166.html
    Table 1: GPT Summary
    Block Description
    0 Protective MBR
    1 Partition Table Header (primary)
    2 through 2+b-1 Partition Entry Array (primary)
    2+b through n-2-b partition data
    n-2-b+1 through n-2 Partition Entry Array (backup)
    n-1 Partition Table Header (backup)
    The protective MBR is an MBR that defines a single partition entry that covers the entire area of the disk used by GPT structures and partitions. It is designed to prevent GPT-unaware programs from accidentally modifying a GPT disk. A GPT-unaware program sees the GPT disk as an MBR disk with a single, unknown partition. In a way, this is like the HFS wrapper around an HFS Plus disk.

  • Does Boot Camp work with Fusion Drive

    After having Boot Camp fail this morning while partitioning the drive, and now having to erase and restore my entire hard drive, 500GB worth of crap, I am wondering -- does Boot Camp work with the fusion drive?  My new iMac has one of these things, and I am wondering if that is maybe the reason it did not work.
    Thanks

    A virtual machine is less risky because it doesn't modify your hard disk. However, it gives you less performance because it doesn't use all the hardware of your computer.
    While that is true the actual performance available depends on how much resources you have, and how much is made available to Windows. (Win 7 in BC on my iMac gets a 5.9, in a VM it gets a 4.8) all the reduction is in the graphics performance. Disk performance in the VM is faster. I have 16GB or Ram, the VM gets 8 of that when it is running.
    If games are to played a VM is useless.

  • HT3777 why does my boot camp on my mac pro ask for a windows 7 disk

    why does my boot camp on my mac pro ask for a windows 7 disk?  Can I just install my vista home premium in and proceed?

    Lion and Mountain Lion can only install 7 under BootCamp.
    You can load Vista under a VM (virtual machine) such as Parallels or VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox (Oracle ownload).

  • I have a mac pro wich will not open windows in boot camp i get to the two options select windows but iyt will not load can you help please

    i have a mack pro which will not open in windows from boot camp get to the two options and select windows drive but it will not open can you help Please

    Hi there, Well, i thing i might have had the same problem (if you dont mean the selecting part, then try keyboad with usb and without if u dont have a macbook pro or so), i did the same and after selecting windows it said "No bootable disk" or " no boot disk" or something like that and the installer wont start when i was trying to install via CD/DVD.
    The sulution is to use 2 usb-drives, one for the support drivers from apple and one for the windows it self after burning the CD/DVD to the usb on a PC using the windows own tools and creating a ISO file.
    (there might be problems whit CD/DVD install sometimes)
    The ISO file on a own USB is the most importat thing!! (and even apple and windows didnt know that but me and a technikal support guy from the store i bought it managed to fix it after like 4 days )
    Hope it work now mate!

  • SQL ENTERPRISE: The edition of Reporting Services that you are using requires that you use local SQL Server relational databases for report data sources and the report server database

    The error below makes absolutely no sense! I'm using Enterprise Core...yet I'm being told I can't use remote data sources:
    w3wp!library!8!03/05/2015-19:08:48:: i INFO: Catalog SQL Server Edition = EnterpriseCore
    w3wp!library!8!03/05/2015-19:08:48:: e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.OperationNotSupportedException: , Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.OperationNotSupportedException: The feature: "The edition of Reporting

    Really? This totally contradicts the documentation found here:

    That article says remote connections are completely supported.
    ARGH! Why does this have to be so difficult to setup?!?

    Hi jeffoliver1000,
    According to your description, you are using Enterprise Core edition and you are prompted that you can’t use remote data sources.
    In your scenario, we neither ignore your point nor be doubt with what you say. But actually we have met the case before that even though the SQL Server engine is Enterprise but the reporting services is still standard. So I would recommend you to find the
    actual edition of reporting services you are using. You can find Reporting Services starting SKU in the Reporting Service logs ( default location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\<instance name>\Reporting Services\LogFiles). For more information,
    please refer to the similar thread below:

    By the way, have you installed the other SQL Server edition before?

    No however you will need to bring your own copy of Windows.
    what i mean is are any driver installations required?
    The driver installation(s) is done by Virtualbox during installation.
    I have not fully tested this software however you can find some good information [HERE|http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/VirtualBox].

  • Application store requires that you answer 3 questions for future verification. The questions are stupid and not easy to remember. Why can I not just proceed with my download without this?

    The Application Store requires that you answer 3 questions for future verification. The questions offered are questions that I at least have no clear answer to. What was the first film you saw? and the like. You can say Not now, but then nothong happens and you are back to where you started. Is there a way to proceed with downloading apps without answering these stupid questions?
    I refuse to believe that Apple as an organisation designed these questions - must have been somebody else.

    This is Apple's security feature, you answer the questions or you stop using the account and buy Mac apps elsewhere. Do a search on Secure Notes in the keychain and answer the questions with nonsense answers and store them in a Secure Note for future reference.

  • Does Boot Camp support Windows 8.1 Update 1?
