How Does Windows Boot If The iMac's Hardisk is GUID & Not MBR?

Hi. How does Windows (Windows 8.1 64-bit in this case) boot if the hard drive in the iMac (late 2009) is in GUID partition scheme? Doesn't Windows need a partition scheme of MBR?
Thank you in advance. Have a great upcoming sunday mass/great week.
God bless.

You run Boot Camp Assistant to create the proper partition on which to install Windows.

  • Does windows work on the imac

    I'm interested in purchasing a notebook; my question is does windows work on the mac noyebooks?

    Yes. http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    And visit the Boot Camp forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp.
    Alternatively you can also install Windows using a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033 supports Windows 8.1 and can be used with that version. The Mid 2011 iMac is compatible with Windows 8, so you should not have any problem by installing Windows 8.

    Setup Assistant and Migration Assistant do not restore MS Windows, it only does the OS X partition. All of your Windows stuff must be backed up and restore using a MS Windows application. If no one on this forum is able to answer your question then I'd repost it on a Parallels forum to see how other Windows users approach this.

    Yes, it will show you the main directory.. so if you link in windows explorer it will be..
    \\TCname\data
    Or \\TCipaddress\data
    Data can be whatever name the main (root) directory of the TC is called.

  • How does condition category affect the price procedure

    Hello Gurus,
         there is a case as following:
    if the condition type in the pricing analysis says in a billing document that the ‘‘condition is found and set,” and one is using the condition requirement number 024 (which only determines the price in billing document) yet still has to do new pricing in order to obtain the condition record, Should the condition category be blank, the system would propose the message “condition is found and set” but does not provide an actual condition record.
       the fault would be that the condition category on the condition type should be equal to L.
       so my question is " how does condition category affect the price procedure" ? thanks very much!

    Hi Zhang,
    -->Condition category is a classification of conditions according to predefined criteria.
    -->These categories include packaging costs, delivery costs, output taxes and discounts.
    -->The classification of conditions by condition categories can be used for analysis.
    I hope it will clear for you
    Regards,
    Murali.

  • How does waveform graph downsamples the data before it is plotted

    Hi,
    I'm interested in how does waveform graph downsamples the data before it is plotted and what algorithm is used for this purpose? My goal is to plot 30 plots that have 1M samples each and I would like to downsample them before plotting onto a graph. I tried several VIs/algorithms for resampling and none of them gave the same result as seen by waveform graph (when all the samples are plotted).
    For example, if only one sample of 1M samples is 1 and all others are 0, then after downsampling to 1k samples the sample is not visible on the graph anymore. However, if I plot all 1M samples directly onto the graph, then also this 1 sample is visible (see attached example). 
    Solved!

    Hi andrej,
    LabVIEW draws plots in the way that draw every pixel affected by signal. So for example if there is zero-valued 1M samples and even one equals to 1, you will see the peak. That is the reason why you do not get the exactly same behavior comparing to interpolating. But if you set FIR as interpolation mode in Resample Waveforms (single shot).vi, result is really similar, but of course amplitude is 1000-times smaller than original one (because there is dt set to 1000). Keep also in mind that in Graph 2, there is different Y-scale and it should be considered as noise, not relevant data, I would expect 1000-times smaller amplitude as in Graph 3, it is many more times smaller.
    I would also like to say something about downsampling (decimating) the data. If you have 1M samples, you can see the peak even that there is only one value. But bigger problem is that with this graph resolution (I guess that is not more than 1000px), it is problem to find position of this peak. It means that still the zoom is needed to know where the peak is. Usually, when there is that big set of data, you are extracting different data (statistical information, peaks in FFT, etc.) not just visual data in graph.
    Mariaaa:
    I do not understand your question, can you please describe more your needs? You mentioned saving the data into a file, you can use Write to Measurement File express VI or see Write to Text File.vi in Example Finder and try to appropriately modify it.
    Best regards,
    Martin

  • How does one tell if the J2EE services are running with Unlimited

    How does one tell if the J2EE services are running with Unlimited
    security? We have applied the export Policy to the server but we do notsee any reference to it running with it. .we apply the Service packs SAP now upgrades that JAVA as well . Do that process treat the JAVA
    lib/security area correctly.

    Just out of curiosity... Is there something you do
    like about Mac/Apple?
    To answer your question: no, not really. However, the points that I made here were about Safari and accompanying utilities, not about Apple in general.
    If it makes you feel any better, I am just as, or even more, critical of Micro$oft as the occasions arise...Windoze Vista is the most recent occasion and has given sufficient reasons and opportunities to vent my spleen that I actually have eased up on Apple, politicians, nut-case religious extremists, cell phone owners, and the Department of Homeland Paranioa, etc., due to an exhaustion of creative energy.

  • How does apple know what the fault is with my iphone?

    How does apple know what the fault is with my iphone when sending it to them on apple care. My sleep/ wake button seems to be stuck so I sent in for a repair on the website and they sent me a apple care box and said send it back but I Carnt remember if I told them the fault or do they know by the repair ID number? Please help as I'm sending it off in a couple of day.

    Include a note in the shipping box describing in detail the issue you have with the phone. Include your name, address, phone number, email, iPhone model and serial number, and a detailed explanation of the problem.

  • How does Mac OS calculate the charging Cycle count?

    Hello, Guys
    How does Mac OS calculate the charging Cycle count? I just used my MBP for about 15 min without power plugged in and I saw it left about 90% battery. However after the battery be recharged, I checked system profiler. It shows charging cycle count increased 1. I do remember that last time I left almost the same percentage of battery and plugged in. After the battery was fully charged, profiler did show cycle count increased.
    So I am wondering How does Mac OS calculate the charging Cycle count? Basing on the percentage left or something else?
    Thanks,

    Ok,
    But does it count continuously or separatly? I mean One time I used 10% and recharged full; and next time I used 20% and fully recharged again. Does the OS increase the cycle count when the usage adds up to 100% no matter how many times of recharge?
    Thanks,
