Going to Install Vista with Fusion - Drivers?

I should be getting my new machine early next week. I already have purchased Fusion and would Like to install Vista Ultimate on my MAC. The video card is the ATI 2600.
When I do the install, what about video and sound drivers? Will there be an issue or do I need to get drivers for Vista? I haven't used a MAC before so I am new at this. Also, how about printing?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

So nobody has done this? Am I the first? Oh no......

K9N2 Diamond problems installing Vista 64bit Raid Drivers

Hello everyone I have been having problems installing Raid Drivers during Vista 64 Install. The 32-bit drivers work fine and I can also set up Windows Vista 32 in Raid 0. But the same place where the " No CD/DVD drivers..." clause is will not let me use 64-bit Drivers. I have tried MCP72 and MCP73 raid drivers and neither is recognized. This is my setup.....

Installing archlinux with catalyst drivers

Hello, i'm trying to use archlinux for a long time, but my notebook overheating with default drivers. My notebook has ATI 4650. When i try to install arch linux my notebook shuts down because of overheating while installing kernel packages. I even tried to put my computer to fridge it didn't work. I need to load kernel with catalyst drivers to install (I need a customized iso i guess). Please help me i wanna be an Archer so much

You could try setting it to low power mode with the open source driver.
First, look if /sys/kernel/debug is empty.
If it is, then as root:
mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
Then as root again:
echo profile > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method
echo low > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile
I believe that should work from CLI-only too. But it may require a newer kernel than the one on the image (don't know what kernel the install image is at). If it doesn't work then you can use the not so official archboot image: https://downloads.archlinux.de/iso/archboot/latest
But when it is while kernel install it sounds more to me as if the CPU was too hot since building the initramfs is only CPU intensive...
Thanks. I will try these soon. I think GPU overheats then CPU makes the final straw during kernel install.

Installing vista with bootcamp in snow leopard

I can install snow leopard clean on a fresh drive on my MBP with my upgrade disk.
It is the disk that came as a drop-in dvd with the MBP, along with its original install disks.
If I install windows vista using bootcamp assistant on my MBP running snow leopard, do I use that disk when it asks for the drivers, etc. during installation?
Or do I use my leopard install disks that came with my computer?
Is the snow leopard bootcamp process any different from the process in leopard?
I had windows Vista on the MBP fine before upgrading my hard drive and going to snow leopard.
Do I need to print out those 25 pages of instruction again?
Thanks for any advice.

Because you are asking I would read the FAQ guide, again.
On a Mac while installing, it doesn't allow or ask/prompt for installer disc (some people put things like that on a flash memory card). You do, after the install is done, need to insert your OS X DVD.
Snow Leopard has Boot Camp 3.0, I'd use that instead of the older 2.0x from Leopard.
No different, just about the same with the HFS+ read ability added (which causes some but not everyone to sometimes have BSOD or other problems, or maybe you don't even WANT Windows to be able to access and read Mac HFS+ volumes).
When upgrading a hard drive, make an image of the Windows partition with WinClone to restore - would have been good timing to upgrade to Windows 7, personally.

Can't install vista with bootcamp

I have a 20" iMac with OS 10.6.2
Before Snow Leopard came out I partitioned my drive to 32 GB and installed Windows Vista. I need more space on my Windows partition so I deleted the partition today and re-partitioned it to 60 GB or so. I inserted my Vista cd and started the installation but once the computer shut down and re-started I never made it to the install screen. It was stuck on a black screen with an underscore "_" then it extended to a long one "__" . After that nothing happened and as expected I wanted to throw the machine at the wall. I went back and re-partitioned it again back at 32 GB to see if I could get anything to happen. Instead of an underscore showing I now had "M76XT B22504 MXM GDDR3 256M 680e/750m" popping up on the screen. I tried restarting using option to get to the boot screen. I ejected the disk and reinserted it and tried booting again from the windows disk but it did nothing. So here I am asking you guys if you know anything that I don't know!! Only variables I changed were the Apple OS version (10.5 - 10.6) and the size of the partition. The Window disk isn't scratched or anything so I'm at a loss.

Boot Camp is for Intel Macs only. The Boot Camp Assistant won't be installed on a PowerPC Mac such as yours, and if it's somehow present, won't open.

Unable to install Vista OR XP (SP2)

Any help is appreciated here.
I've been running this Imac for months with dual boot via boot camp and have had no issues. Suddenly, last week, Vista will not boot. Missing file boot/bcd error
Due to my frustration, I figured I'd wipe Vista and reinstall (I use windows for gaming only).
I deleted that partition, created a new one and since have been unable to install Vista OR XP (which I tried as an alternative). I can create a 90 GB partition and Vista begins to install but it sees ONLY my Macintosh HD as a whole and can't see the partition. XP on the other hand can see the partition and installs but very slowly. The installed result is too slow for web browsing in fact.
This tells me that something is going on with the boot sector possibly in the files under bootcamp that allow you do choose the OS at startup.
So I then booted to my OSX install disk and did an install and archive thinking I would get a fresh copy of OSX and clean out any offending files. This proved to be the same result.
Does anyone have any ideas that may help? I would prefer not to wipe the HDD and begin from scratch as that means recreating profiles and importing photos, music and bookmarks for 4 users in the family on Leopard.
Thoughts?

I was able to recreate all the issues using both XP and Vista install discs this evening for tech support.
Next steps after several this evening will be the following:
1. Run the OSX Utilities from the OSX Install disc
2. reformat the entire hard drive (low level format)
3. Clean install of OSX
4. Run all updates
5. Install Vista with Boot camp
If that all works, I'll restore the MacHD from time machine.
If anyone has any other suggestions as well, I'd welcome them!

How to install Vista off Recovery disk without setting partitions?

Hi,
I have my recovery disk and I installed a new 320gb HHD.
When I installed the recovery disk, it re done the partitions 160gb in each (2 partitions plus 1 recovery partition)...
But I want to dual boot with XP pro due to software issues and I prefer it sometimes...
I have redone my partitions, 1st- 51gb for XP pro(32bit), 2nd- 51gb for vista(32gb) and the 3rd- 210gb is for storage
How do I install with Toshiba vista O/S and stuff that comes with it on the recovery disk, just on to the 2nd partition without touching how I have set the hard drive up....
I already have about 100gb of pics, music and cam vids on the storage, with nowhere to put them so I cant risk them as some are only copies (so it might be a good idea to let me know how do I back up whats on my storage partition to DVD's please)
If I cant, then can some1 please tell me how I get my OEM Toshiba vista off this recovery disk or link one to me?
Hope all this makes sense lol... thanks
Shane

If you have so many important material best back up is to buy external HDD and copy all this stuff there. I recommend you to buy small 2,5 external HDD and when necessary you can take it with you and connect to any computer if you want to show or copy this file. External HDDs can be connected to other computers with delivered USB cable.
Back to your partitions.
When you use original Toshiba recovery installations DVD you will have 3 partitions.
-WinRE partition and it belongs to Vista OS. This partition is not visible and this is not a kind of Toshiba recovery partition
-partition C for Vista
-partition D/or/E for DATA. On this partition is saved recovery image in folder called HDDRecovery
I don't know which notebook model do you have but this configuration is on all new Toshiba notebooks delivered WITHOUT recovery media.
Using Toshiba recovery media you will be able to get exact mentioned partitions structure. Using recovery installations media you WILL NOT be able to install Vista on second partition.
So if you want to have dual boot with WXP you can do follow:
-At first you will install Vista with recovery media and on second partition you will install your WXP version
-At first you will install WXP and then you can install Vista on second partition but you must use Microsoft installations disc. Recovery media cannot be used.
That's all I can say from my experience with this stuff.

P45D3 Platinum, Can't install vista

Hello.
1st: Sorry for my bad English, I'm Hungarian, and I can speak German better.
So. I changed my E6420 to Q9550, and my 3870 to MSI R4870X2 T2D2G-OC. I purchased a SAMSUNG 1Tera HDD too.
I can install Vista with E6420, 4870x2 and the HDD, but if I change the CPU, Vista crashes (blue screen). I think i have to Reinstall Vista.
With E6420, I can install it, but with the Q9550 it stopps at the end of "Windows is loading files..." It says, it can't load winloader.exec (or other files)
When it doesn't stoppers, I see the installer background and the mouse, but nothing happens then. 10 minutes and still background and mouse.
1 time it went long, but it makes a blue screen.
I think, it's a Hardware problem. I changed anything, I try ed an other Q9550, but the same.
Can it be because of wrong BIOS settings?
What I did:
- Changed VGA
- Changed HDD
- Changed ODD (IDE-> SATA)
- Other Vista installer
- Upgrade BIOS to 1.6
Power supply is 750W Chieftec, CPU is near 46°C. RAMs: 4*1GB PQI DDR3 1333MHz
Thanks, and greetings from Hungary

Installed Vista 64 however boot camp drivers dont work - Help

Please help someone.

What does happen when you insert your Leopard/OEM 10.5.x DVD?

I recently installed vista to my mac (32bit)...my headphones are not working. I can't find the 3.5mm jack that apple suggests using. I have tried installing/unistalling several different audio drivers. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

I recently installed vista to my mac (32bit). My headphones are not working on it. I could not find the "3.5mm jack" that apple suggests to "solve" this issue. And I have tried installing/uninstalling audio drivers. Can anyone help?

you don't need several drivers, you just need the audio driver for your Mac, which you didn't list, but would be Cirrus or RealTek.
Along with uninstalling programs, go to Dev Manager and uninstall driver, or even rollback driver.
some people have trouble installing or finding driver that will install.

Boot Camp, VIsta with SP1 x64 clean installed. Please help!

I clean-installed Vista Ultimate 64bit with SP1 (SP1 comes with Vista, not a separate download) on the latest macbook. As expected Boot Camp Application doesn't work (it doesn't even install).
1.I want to use the function keys (F1, F2, etc) for brightness and volume, which installation program should I run from the Leopard disk? I don't think I can find this "driver" online.
2.How can I get bluetooth on my macbook working? Which installation program should I run from the Leopard disk?
3.iSight camera. Is there a driver for iSight camera in 64bit Vista?
I see there's a "x64" folder in Leopard disk, under folder "drivers". Should I install everything in this folder? I haven't tried yet.
Thanks for help!

Hi Bjorne,
how did you manage to do a clean-install of Windows Vista with SP1 from a slipstreamed media? If I start my Macbook with the Vista SP1 DVD while holding down the "C" key, I will only see the following message:
1.
2.
Select CD-ROM Boot Type:
I can't go on any further, because hitting any key won't work.
The problem seems to the EFI bootloader on the Vista SP1 DVD which is compiled for 64-bit EFI environments (U-EFI 2.0)! The EFI environment used in Apple computers is based on version 1.10 and runs in 32-bit mode. I've found this information on the rEFIt homepage http://refit.sourceforge.net/info/vista.html and I've also found the homepage http://www.jowie.com/post/2008/02/Select-CD-ROM-Boot-Type--prompt-while-trying-t o-boot-from-Vista-x64-DVD-burnt-from-iso-file.aspx from Jowie who has the same problems. He has found out how to make the Vista SP1 DVD booting on an Apple computer by modifying the DVD image which seems to kill the EFI bootloader...
How did you manage to boot from an unmodified Vista SP1 DVD image?
Greetings,
OllieW

Satellite A300D with Vista 64-bit - Drivers for Conexant High Definition

Hi,
I have Satalite A300D-15B AMB 64-bit notebook with Vista 64-bit installed. After I have installed Vista, it automatically took the audio drivers for sound card, but Dolby didn't work.
I tried to install the drivers from toshiba, it fails.
Can someone guide me how to install the Vista 64-bit drivers for Conexant High Definition Audio please......
regards,
Ganesh

Hello Ganesh
Sorry but this notebook model is not supported for Vista 64-bit and I don't know what driver installation are you writing about.
What you can try is to download and install THIS driver.
This is driver for Satellite A300 but this notebook has the same sound card as your Satellite A300D - Conexant CX20561.
Please post the results.

T500 Problem with video drivers with Vista 32 / 64 bits

Hi,
I tried to reinstall Vista on my T500 (2650-A29), I had Vista 32 bits, and I tried to install Vista 64 bits.
After installing everything, my video card (Radeon HD 3650) has an error with its drivers. Windows can't load the drivers.
I installed those drivers: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70417
After rebooting, there's still an error, I can make it work by uninstalling the drivers for my video card and reloading. It will install drivers, and switch to the ATI video card.
But, if I connect to an external display, I have a blue screen...
Then, if I reboot, my drivers are still erroneous... And Windows still can't load the drivers.
I retried to reinstall all my system, this time I used the ThinkVantage System Update for installing everything. But I still get the same error and windows can't load the drivers.
Then, I retried to reinstall all my system but with Vista 32 bits, thinking it was an issue with 64 bits, but I am now under Vista 32bits, and my video card drivers still can't load!
I don't know what else to do...
Thanks for your help and sorry for my English, I hope it's understandable.
Cordially,

Nobody ?

K8N Diamond Plus, Vista needs SATA Drivers, Can't install

Trying to install vista 64 on a separate internal drive with boot camp

running into a wall here,
I'm able to install vista x64 when I divide an internal OS X drive that works fine, but I want to load Vista on it's own entire internal disk (bay 4). Bays 1,2, and 3 I use for OS X they are all 1TB drives. When I go through the boot camp assistant and divide a disk 50/50 between OSX and Windows and then boot to the vista install disk, the vista setup screen shows a PARTITION as "disk x partition x BOOT CAMP" and it works to select that partition, format and load windows... No problem. However when you choose the option in Boot Camp to erase an entire extra disk (in my case bay 4) and create a single partition for Windows and then boot to the Vista install disk the disk that was erased of the mac formatting, it doesn't show up with "BOOT CAMP" in the name inside the Vista setup screen, nor will it let you install vista to it, even if you pick the right one and format it inside Vista setup.
I've tried removing all internal disks except the one I want to load vista on and booting directly to the vista set up disc, and formatting with windows command line diskpart inside setup too, unsuccessfully. It simply keeps giving me messages that windows cannot be installed on the volume... I changed it from a GPU type disc using the "clean" command in diskpart but it still won't work! Man!!!
How can I get vista loaded on a separate disk on my mac, boot camp or not? It seems silly that a disk must have an OS X partiton on it before windows will load on it... Is there a way to load Vista x64 on it's own dedicated internal disk? Gratitude for any real help, I'm positive I'm not the first guy to want to load vista on it's own disk LOL!

So I figured this out myself, there was some kind of glitch in boot camp, i bypassed it and formatted the disk with the os x disk utility as a fat 32. pulled all the other drives out, and booted to vista setup. it formatted the disk to NTFS and lets me install vista 64 yahhhooooooooooooo!!!!!
