How do I put windows on a seperate internal drive in mac pro

how do I put windows on an internal drive in mac pro (not the OSX drive)

Take out all your other drives.
Boot Windows installer DVD like Windows 8 or 7 64-bit Pro.
Install.
Not so hard.
In fact installing on another drive w/o taking out others is much much more complicated and you have to jump through a hoop. And is not even documented! And there is a forum for Boot Camp aka Windows on Mac.

How do I put windows xp on my macbook pro?

On MacOS 10.5 or 10.6 you can use Boot Camp, which provide native, dual-boot with Windows.
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
As of 10.7 and later, Windows XP on bootcamp is no longer supported.
Regardless of your OS, you can always use virtualisation software for your Windows:
VirtualBox (free) https://www.virtualbox.org/
Parallels Desktop http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/

I have an apple magic mouse, sometimes when I slide mouse up to the left my whole window is enlarged. How do I put window back to normal

I have an apple magic mouse, sometimes when I slide mouse up to the left my whole window is enlarged. How do I put window back to normal size

Got confused between your header question about a wired mouse and the main question about a wireless mouse. You said your magic mouse was frozen and added you do not have a wireless mouse. Problem is ... the magic mouse is wireless. The original mighty mouse was the corded version.
The wired mouse is a regular problem. After two to three years it tends to clog up. You can clean it (to a degree) as follows.
Using an alcohol moistened, not wet, cotton bud, scratch at the mouse ball for a minute or so. Then turn it upside down and on a clean piece of thick white paper or card on a firm surface, vigorously rub the mouse ball on the paper in a regular figure of eight. Do this for a minute or so and occasionally tap the mouse on the paper. This will help dislodge bits of fluff etc. Then try again

How do i put 8mm into my imac and edit

How do i put 8mm into my iMac, and edit it?

For 8MM Analog, see QuickTime Kirk's advice. You can use the EyeTV Hybrid with USB, or you can use and ov the Analog to Digital converters from Grass Valley (formerly Canopus) which use Firewire.
For 8MM DV, just connect your camcorder to your mac with a Firewire Cable. Camcorder must be plugged in.
For 8MM film, let me know. I can recommend a site that can capture 8MM film in 1080P for reasable prices.

How Can I install Windows on my iMac??

Hi There! I wanted to ask that how can i install windows 7 64-bit on my imac as i wanted to use some softwares and also, play some games that are not there on osx. Please tell my how to do this. I have a 2007 24-inch iMac with the following specs-
Intel Core2 Duo CPU@ 2.40GHz
4GB RAM (That i Upgraded Myself)
Radeon HD2600 Pro Graphics, 256MB
320GB HDD
OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion

Your Mid 2007 iMac has got a 64-bit processor that allows you to install a 64-bit Windows 7 version, but Apple doesn't give you support for it in your iMac. Only Late 2009 and newer iMacs are supported by Apple to install a 64-bit version. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
My advice is to install a 32-bit Windows 7 version, although you will probably not be able to use all the RAM. Follow Apple's steps to install Windows > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf
If you still want to install a 64-bit Windows 7 version, do it, but note that it won't work properly as there are no Apple drivers for it

How do i install windows on the Imac and do i need a seperate disk to install it

I am having trouble installing windows on my imac i really need someone to help me because i have certain downoas and things i need to install in order to go through college please help me!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
1. Open Boot Camp Assistant and download the drivers
2. Create the partition and insert the Windows disc
3. Your computer will restart into the Windows DVD. Erase BOOTCAMP when it asks for a volume
4. When the install ends, install the drivers

How do I install Windows on my iMac (intel based) computer

Hi, I have all the software, Windows xp, and the parallels supporting software. The question is how do I load it onto my computer?

Just a friendly suggestion: update your sig - it is confusing to see the G5 iMac listed there while you are asking a question about the Intel iMac.
In your Utility Folder there's a BootCamp Assistant program. Start it up and make sure your printer has a nice stack of paper - about 25 pages if I recall properly. At the first screen once the program is running you'll have to options: Print Instructions & Proceed with the Installation. Select print and if your printer is slow, go get a cup of coffee.
The highlights: make sure you have a valid copy of XP (at least SP2) or Vista and have your Mac OS installation disk handy, it has files you'll need once Windows has finished installing. The first step is to partition the drive - unless your computer is brand new, I recommend that before partitioning you start up with your Mac installer disk, run Disk Utilities, and repair the drive. When BootCamp Assistant partitions your drive you have to decide how much space to give it - 20GB to 40GB should be plenty unless you are going to use Windows for lots of games. Once the partitioning is finished, pop in the Windows installer and click on the install Windows button that BootCamp Assistant gives you. Now you are in Windows land and after you have entered your Windows Account name and gotten to the Windows desktop, eject the Windows disc, pop in the Mac installer, and let it install the BootCamp drivers. And finally, while running Windows, visit the Apple Support site and download the BootCamp 2.1 upgrade. There are several different versions depending on which version of Windows you are running.

How can I install windows 7 on imac 27 late 2012

I wanted to install windows 7 64 bit on a iMac 27 inch late 2012. Everything went smooth until it restarts. Then I get the following message.
Non-system disk
Press any key to reboot.
After this, there is no reaction. By the way, I don't have Fusion Drive. I have normal SATA drive.

Hey Guys,
I was able to start boot manager. I had 4 options:
1. Macintosh HD
2. Recovery-10.8.2
3. Windows
4. EFI Boot
I choose option 3 (Windows). But i got the following message.
CDBOOT: Couldn't find BOOTMGR
Any idea?

How do you run windows on a imac

how to run windows on my imac

Glad you asked:
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
   1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows
         XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. For Boot Camp
         4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. 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.
     2. 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.
     3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
         or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that
         enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
     4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
         applications without having to install Windows. The
         Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
     5. VirtualBox is an 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 VirtualBox, 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 Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Benchmarks of all of the above except Crossover can be found in Benchmarking Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox Against Boot Camp - The Mac Observer. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or later. 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.

How do i install Windows on SSD with a Fusion Drive?

Hello everyone,
i currently have a perfectly working iMac late 2013 with 1TB Fusion Drive.
I would like to install Windows INSIDE A SSD PARTITION.
Classic bootcamp will store Windows inside the mechanical hd and this slows things...
How do i put windows inside the SSD? Does anyone have a step by step tutorial?
Thanks.

What is the purpose of this?
I have my drive formatted case sensitive on purpose for more security and stability.
Why on earth would y'all choose to do this?
