HT5628 Is it possible to install MS-Windows on MacBook Pro as the only OS

Is it possible to install MS-Windows on MacBook Pro as the only OS, using all the space of the SSD, by de-isntalling thus completely the Mac OS?

Yes.
but
You will have to erase the drive completely and install Windows, you can't achieve it just by deleting OSX
I do not recommend that you do it.

  • I installed Lion on my MacBook Pro and the Finder keeps quitting - how do i fix it?

    I installed Lion on my MacBook Pro and the Finder keeps quitting - how do i fix it?
    Worse, i can't force quit the finder and get it to relaunch - the command won't work.
    Most of the Lion software also won't work - iTunes, Mail, iCal - and only some of the preferences work. 
    The message:
    Finder quit unexpectedly.
    Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.
    Won't go away no matter if i hit Ignore or Report...
    I have no clue what to do...
    Any help?

    Does that happen if you boot into "safe mode"?  Launch the Console utility and look for messages that might explain the problem.  If you see a "crash report", post its contents here.

    Try on a different computer. If you get this error again, go to an Apple store or call AppleCare. I've only seen this error once, & I was unable to solve it. Took the phone to the genius bar & they replaced the phone.

  • Installing Tiger on a Macbook Pro that came only with Leopard

    Hi guys,
    Any ideas on how to install Tiger onto a Macbook Pro that came preloaded with Leopard, and only has a Leopard disc?
    I've got a refurbished Macbook Pro recently. Realised that one of my application doesn't work, Capture One Pro. Visited Phase One's website and they said it only supports 3.9 and above at the time it was released, which makes it 10.4.10.
    Systems in the story below: Macbook Pro Core Cuo. Macbook Pro C2D (new set), Mac Pro, iMac Core 2 Duo
    Here's what I've tried
    1. I've an original disk that came with my MBP CD. When I try to boot from that disk on my MBP C2D, it gives me the crash screen -> "please hold the power for secs to restart".
    2. I've tried installing Tiger onto my iMac and did a harddisk clone via Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) to my MBP CD. Tiger was able to run on my MBP CD fine.
    3. Then I tried using CCC to clone it over to my MBP C2D. It doesn't work. Shows me the crash screen.
    4. I've tried installing Tiger on my Mac Pro. Used CCC to clone over the disk image to MBP C2D. Doesn't work too. Crash screen.
    5. Created disk images of Tiger with Disk Utility on iMac, Mac Pro. Tried to restore using the iMac, Mac Pro disk images of Tiger. Doesn't work. Shows me the crash screen.
    6. Updated Tiger to 10.4.11 on my Mac Pro. Created disk image using Disk Utility. Restored MBP C2D with it. Crash screen on load.
    I'm out of ideas and Apple Support won't open until Monday.
    It seems that this MBP C2D is set on not installing Tiger, no matter what. Wonder if getting hold of a Tiger retail disc will do the trick?

    You can install tiger onto a MacBook Pro up to version 3,1.
    Run System Profiler and under hardware:
    Hardware Overview:
    Model Name: MacBook Pro
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro4,1 This line is the model number!
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache: 3 MB
    Memory: 2 GB
    Bus Speed: 800 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: MBP41.00C1.B00
    SMC Version: 1.27f1
    Serial Number: XXXXXXXXXXX
    Sudden Motion Sensor:
    State: Enabled
    I have got tiger installed onto this MacBookPro which is the latest 4,1 model, but you require the latest Tiger disk (which the Apple Genius had in my case), but the volume, brightness and trackpad gestures do not work! Everything else is fine.

    Thanks for your help Brij011 - much appreciated. Apologies as I'm a newbie but I've looked at the info for synching and I appear to have all the switches flicked on my iPad. Does the iPad and iBooks only sync in iCloud for purchases as I appear to be doing something wrong. I could sync ok when books was in iTunes but since migrating to Mavericks I think I'm doing something wrong!!

  • OS X and Windows on MacBook Pro. Can I clean install only the OS X?

    I have both OS X and Windows on my MacBook Pro. The OS X has been ridiculously slow and freezes up most of the time, especially when I use Office. The Windows partition has been working perfectly. Can I clean install just the OS X part of my computer? How would I go about doing that? I want to leave the Windows partition alone.
    Thanks!!

    Hopefully this will work:
    Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
    If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.

  • RSAT won't install on Windows 8.1 Pro - "The system cannot find the file specified."

    Please help. RSAT won't install on Windows 8.1 Pro. Every time I try, I get the same error - "The system cannot find the file specified.". I really don't want to have to refresh the PC to get it working! I've installed the update successfully on
    a fresh win 8.1 enterprise install on a Hyper-V VM.
    I am in uk, so have installed the en-US language pack first. I did have a windows component store corruption but I've managed to fix that.
    event log says:
    Windows update "Update for Windows (KB2693643)" could not be installed because of error 2147942402 "The system cannot find the file specified." (Command line: ""C:\Windows\system32\wusa.exe"
    "C:\RSAT Windows8.1-KB2693643-x64.msu" ")
    CBS log (C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log): http://1drv.ms/19CAv14

    As Roger Lu reported, the log indicates that there is corruption in the update files that you downloaded. The log actually reports “file not found”, so you may also want to check permissions on the extracted files in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\76ecaa86ec6712300c2d71cbcdad378c\.
    You can also re-try downloading the files to see if your original download was just corrupt.

    It was a permissions issue! Thanks so much Bruce!
    I checked the permissions for the folder mentioned above and TrustedInstaller only had List Folder Contents and Special Permissions. So I granted granted Read & Execute to TrustedInstaller and tried installing again...
    1) double clicked the installer.
    2) once it said Initialisation was complete, I checked the permissions again and it had re-set them to as before, so I granted Read & Execute to TrustedInstaller again
    3) Installation was successful.
    Not really sure why this happened as it doesn't make sense but it's working now :-)

    3) Under the File Menu, select "Add to Library."  Navigate to the folder with your music in it and click "Open."  Bam!  Music.

  • HT4796 Can Windows 7 be installed on my new MacBook Pro, through my network connection?  The disc would be in my Windows desktop.

    Can Windows 7 be installed on my new MacBook Pro, through my network connection?  The disc would be in my Windows desktop.

    I wouldn't recommend installing through a network connection.
    For a Virtual Machine:
    If you have the Win 7 media (DVD), use an app like PowerISO or MagicISO to make an ISO file of the install disc and use that.
    For BootCamp:
    Use the original install media and BootCamp Assistant, to install from your DVD Drive.
