How to install BootCamp5 (Windows) on Mac?

Hi everyone
I want to install windows on my macbook and I found these instructions from Apple:
The download file is a .zip file. Double click it to uncompress it,  if it is not automatically uncompressed.
          • Double-click the Boot Camp5 folder.
          • Copy the entire contents of the .zip file to the root level of a USB flash drive or hard drive that is formatted with the FAT file system
          • When running Windows, locate the Boot Camp folder on the USB media you created in Step 3 and double click to open it.
          • Double click on setup to start installing the Boot Camp Support Software.
          • When prompted to allow changes, click on Yes and follow the onscreen instructions.
          • Installation can take a few minutes. Don't interrupt the installation process. When installation is complete, click Finish in the dialog that appears.
          • A system restart dialog box appears.  Click Yes to complete the installation.
Can someone explain me point number 3 and 4 in a practical way? I have no clue what FAT file system is and how to continue with the installation.
I downloaded the folder Boot Camp5. Now how do I continue? Do I have to copy all files in a normal USB stick?
Many thanks for your support.

Many thanks for the links. I will read the manually carefully and see if I am able to installt it.

    You can install Windows on a Mac with Boot Camp or a virtual machine. If you need maximum performance, use Boot Camp.
    If you want to use Boot Camp, first check that the Windows version you want to install is compatible with your iMac > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634 Then, open Boot Camp Assistant, in /Applications/Utilities, and follow the steps to install Windows. Check > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf
    If you want to use the virtual machine, you have to install an application like Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox, create a virtual machine and install Windows there

We have detected that you are using an unsupported browser.

    Why don't you just download Firefox, 4 through 7 are supported, or if you insist on using Internet Explorer, use Windows.

  • How to install hard drive into mac pro

    how to install hard drive into mac pro

    I recently bought a new 2TB internal sata drive for my Macpro.
    The installation was easy, but I'm not sure what to do next.
    For one, should I partition the drive?
    My purpose for buying the drive was to use it as my go to drive for Parallels. I used to run my music studio on Windows based machines, and my older project files require a windows OS to recover. I installed Parallels so I can have my studio running Mac and Windows programs which will enable me to access my old project files and take them into my newer Protools system.
    So now, I've installed my new hard drive, but I'm not sure if I should partition it....And!? I'm not sure how to designate that drive for my virtual pc on Parallels. I was able to allocate enough disk space to parallels in order to load my music software, but at this point, I'm not sure if I've just promised it disk space from my original partitioned drive (which only has about 350 GB left on it).
    I would love to be able to make one internal drive available for Parallels, and the other available for the rest of my OSX. When I use Parallels, I still would like to save some extra information on the 2TB drive as well from my dekstop running OSX.
    I hope this makes sense! Your help is much appreciated!

    I thought that installation through Boot Camp required, without hacks, a physical optical disc to install Boot Camp? I don't use it any longer since I run XP under Parallels, but I would swear that you have to use a disc, and not a USB thumb drive, to install Windows?
    Maybe some real Boot Campers will visit this thread...

    If you have the Media you can use it to create a bootable USB key via boot camp assistant.
    It will create the usb and has the option of pre-downlading the drivers and bootcamp utilities for windows.
    It is pretty much all automated and quite simple.

    Please direct me as to how to install acrobat standard on mac computer. I had trial basis and now my computer is all fouled up and message received that must be installed on windows computer. How do I handle this dilemma.

    If you have Acrobat Standard, it is Windows software. You cannot install Windows software on your Mac.
    If it was purchased, get a refund.
    If it was bundled, then you just can't use it.

    Assuming your rig can support virtual machines, you can use Hyper-V and run another OS there.
    Better practice however is to use a dedicated machine and use remote desktop to the server.

  • Where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5 ?

    Folks,
    Hello. I am using Oracle Linux 5 and Oracle Database 11g for PIA.
    Before install Oracle DB 11g into Oracle Linux 5, we need to install X Window System according to the document page 2 http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32285.pdf
    But I don't know where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5.
    Can any folk provide a link to download X Window System and tutorial to install it for Oracle Linux 5 ?

    You can address the problem in a number of different ways.
    You can install X-windows from the installation DVD or setup access to the Oracle public software repository as described in http://public-yum.oracle.com. In which case, the command to install X-windows is: yum groupinstall "X Window System"
    Or, you login remotely and and use SSH with X-forwarding, in which case the software on the server will use the X-Windows server on your client system. This is probably the preferred way since you do not have X-windows installed on the server. For more details about SSH forwarding and howto, please see Install Oracle 11gR2 on Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (64-bit) Howto part 2 Oracle Universal Installer.

    i have windows 7 dvd, i want to install windows 7 only and does not want to keep  msc os 10.5.8. currently i do not have any cd or DVD which came with my macbook. So i need to know:
    1- how i install windows 7?
    2- 32bit or 64bit windows?
    3- after installing how to get drivers of my macbook?

    There is no disc of Mountain Lion, and if there were it would not contain drivers, those  are on your original OSX disc (the one that came with the machine) or you can download them using Boot Camp Assistant.
    You will need a 64 bit copy of Windows, OEM or retail.
