Is it possible by using boot camp to set up a high spec mac pro to operate as a pc server for a network of approx 20 pcs

My company has recently bought a high end mac pro to act as a mac server. However it is no longer need but business does need a new server for a network of about 20 pcs. Is it possible or practical using boot camp to tuen the mac into a fully funtioning pc server?

Thanks for the info. I don't have Server 2008 but the Boot Camp documentation says Windows 7 only is supported. Glad you jumped in knowing that Server 2008 is supported.
In the original poster's post he said he wanted a fully functioning server so I assume he wants Server 2008. If he is misusing the term server and only needs a peer network then he can install Windows 7.

Is it possible to use Boot Camp to install Windows on an external HD?

So I don't use up space on my internal hard drive, would it be possible to use Boot Camp to install Windows to an external hard drive?

Ok, so officially, you have to install it on your Mac's internal drive. Good, thanks for clearing that up.
I guess the only simple alternative to installing Windows on your Mac's internal drive is to buy another Mac, and install it on there instead I mean, you could have a Mac Mini or a MacBook, and have that running Windows under Boot Camp.

Is it possible to use Boot Camp to partition an external hard drive so there is a OSX partition and a Windows partiton? I want to use the external drive for backup only, NOT to load Windows and NOT to use as a boot drive.

I have partitioned the internal hard drive and am running Lion and Win7 Pro on my iMac i5 2.7GHz with 16GB RAM. Can I use Boot Camp to create a Windows partition on an OSX external hard drive to use for backing up both systems to the same HDD? I do NOT want to install OSX Lion or Windows 7 Professional on the external drive. I do NOT want to boot either system from the external drive. The 3TB external drive is for backup only.

Use NTFS for Windows and buy Paragon NTFS for OS X
You can also try Paragon HFS for Windows
As long as you are using for data and backups, you can leave the drive as GPT too.
I would recommend strongly to always have a 2nd bootable Mac OS drive, only need 30GB partition. System maintenance. Though LIon Recovery Mode finally makes it less but not totally unneeded.
And yes you can use Windows to create a partition.
Boot Camp is too broad. Do you want or mean BC Assistant? not needed but probably possible.
MBR has trouble with 3TB drives.

Update Boot Camp 3.3 to 5.1 on Mac Pro 3,1 (2008)?

I currently have Win 7 Ultimate 64bit running on my Mac Pro 2008. Boot camp version is 3.3 although OS X is 10.9.3 Mavericks. I recently installed a flashed AMD 7950 which works great in both OS X and Windows 7 although I seem to have lost the ability to automatically sleep in Win 7. I'm using latest AMD drivers but that hasn't cured the scheduled sleep issue (I can make the Mac sleep manually without problem). The only other changes have been the usual Windows updates. At this point, I can't determine what's preventing my Win 7 install from sleeping so I'm contemplating upgrading the boot camp drivers from 3.3 to the latest to try and narrow down any potential conflicts.
My concern however is Apple's lack of official support for the early 2008 Mac Pro's and Boot Camp 5. Is there a specific difference at the hardware/driver level to preclude me from skipping BC 4 and upgrading straight to BC 5 drivers in my Mac Pro? If I do run into driver conflicts, can I downgrade to BC 4 without screwing up my current Windows installation?
Many thanks for your help.

You may be able to use Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621 provided the hardware is not significantly different.

Is it possible to use Boot Camp on a second hard drive?

I would like to buy a new drive to install which will be used entirely for boot camp. Is it possible to use a second installed drive for Boot Camp?

Yup, right now I'm running Windows Vista on a second hard drive I installed right when I got my new system.

Is it possible to use boot camp to install windows xp from only an update disk?

Hello,
I have recently come across some of my old windows applications and an update disk for windows xp sp1. All I have is the update disk and I partitioned my drive and booted into the CD. Whenever I got through some of the processes of the initial install it said that I had an update disk and prompted me to first install an earlier version of windows (in this case I do not own one). Is there anyway that I could bypass this part of setup and install windows using this disk (like I have on PCs with no operating system installed) or do I need to go out and purchase a copy. If there is anyway that you could help it would be appreciated very much because the way the economy is these days I would like to save a couple bucks here or there. Especially putting money to a company like Microsoft....it wouldn't suit my fancy. :D

Is it possible to Install Windows 8 Pro 64-bit on a secondary hard dive in Mac Mini (Late 2012) using Boot Camp 5?

Hello,
I have a Mac Mini (Late 2012) running on OS X 10.8.3 and would like to install Windows 8 Pro on a secondary hard drive using Boot Camp 5. Is that really possible?
A little background about the topic under discussion.
1. Mac Mini (Late 2012) has a place holder to accomodate an additional hard drive (2.5") under the hood
2. If just plugged with one, it would show as an additional volume in the finder
3. Boot Camp 5 supoprts Windows 8 Pro 64-bit installation
The idea is to run two operating systems (1. OS X and 2. Windows 8) on two hard drives in a Mac Mini, with maintainability a constraint.
Have any one tried this out? If so, kindly share if there are any specific procedures apart form the one given in Boot Camp 5 manual.
Thanks in advance.
~ Narey

Gotcha!!
I am done with mounting a secondary HDD (thanks to ifixit) and installing Windows 8 Pro 64 bit on it without a worry. Charm, charm!!
Boot Camp 5 guide prescribes all needed steps and when read and used correctly, installation must be an easy task. And all the existing apple hardwares work so good in the Windows environment too.
I am going to help out a friend of mine in doing a similar thing on his mac too. If you got specific questions, please do shoot up here and i should be able to get a reply to it (if at all).
Thanks everyone.

Is it possible to install windows 7 on my macbook from a removable hard drive using boot camp? How would I do this?

Is it possible to install windows 7 on my macbook from a removable hard drive using boot camp?
How would I do this?

If you have Lion installed, and run Boot Camp, it will create the boot flash for you, just followe the tutorial on screen. As far as I remember, this was not possible prior to Lion.

Linux using boot camp is it possible why people choose VMware or parallels?

Hi everyone,
Has anyone installed Linux using boot camp ? I'm asking this because i want to install the latest version of oracle database 11g and i need to install Linux or Windows to run the server.
There is no version of Oracle 11g for macosx atm.
Why people choose VMware and Parallels instead of using boot camp?
Please give some feedback.
Greatfully,
Nuno

Quite a lot of people are running Linux on their Intel-Macs (I am not one of them...).
Here's a how-to for Ubuntu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Intel_iMac
There is no version of Oracle 11g for macosx atm.
Time to complain(send a feedback to Oracle
Why people choose VMware and Parallels instead of using boot camp?
VMWare and Parallels have the advantage over BootCamp, that you can use them while still being in OSX, so that you can run Windows/Linux alongside OSX.
With BootCamp you have to restart your Mac each time you want to switch to/from Windows/Linux.
Please give some feedback.
Hope it helps

Can my MacBook Pro use boot camp with Windows 7 with BitLocker encryption?

I'm at wit's end with this, and I'm hoping I can get some advice here. I've read so many forum, posts and reviews that I'm not entirely sure what I can trust.
I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro (MacBookPro8,3). I need to run Windows encrypted for work purposes. It needs to be real windows with full-disk encryption (FDE). The business tools run in boot camp, but not in Parallels, because Parallels doesn't support DirectX 11. I would also benefit greatly from an SSD.
I do not want to do anything hacky like removing the Mac reocovery partition, because I've read that just loading Disk Utility in OS X might mess up your patrition boot tables as it tries to "fix" things. I don't want to have to manually reocover to fix stuff or chance losing data.
I have read (and tried) installing BitLocker on Windows 7 Ultimate under boot camp, but ran into the partition limit on my internal HDD. A maximum of 4 partitions are allowed, and between OS X, its recovery, boot camp, and the Windows partition, all 4 are used.
I have considered one of the following, which may work:
Install OWC's Data Doubler Kit with an additional 240GB SSD (http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/DDMBS6E240/). I would replace the internal SuperDrive with the HDD, and install the new SSD on the faster SATA 6G port. Windows would be installed on the SSD and OS X would stay on the HDD.
Replace the internal HDD with a new SSD (keeping the SuperDrive). I would lose OS X altogether and just have Windows installed.
Forget the entire thing and just buy a PC for work.
My thoughts are that with option both options #1 and #2, I don't even know if these setups will allow BitLocker. In both cases, Windows will be the only partition on the drive, so I'm assuming that when BitLocker is installed, there will be room for the new partition it creates. With option #1, I'm pretty sure I'd still be using Boot Camp, but how would that would for option #2? Is boot camp used even though there is no Mac partition? Would I still need to keey the Mac Recovery partition for this to work? I'd probably need to use Boot Camp drivers under Windows, I think.
I'd certainly be interested in using a self-encrypting drive (SED), especially a SSD, but I'm concerned that most of them appear to require TPM or BIOS functions that Mac's EFI does not provide. Such a drive would allow me to drop BitLocker, but I would need to be use the self-encryption actually works on this setup. From what I've read, most of the SED drives will work just fine under EFI, but you won't be able to set or access the encryption password, which pretty much makes these drives unencrypted.
I've read that BitLocker can be configured to use a flash drive as a decryption key, but I haven't been able to test that yet. I'm tried creating bootable flash drives under Windows and OS X, and none of them seem to appear when I access the boot menu (hold option during boot chime). I don't even know if this system supports bootable USB flash drives, or whether they can be used as a BitLocker key under boot camp.
For the record, I have attempted to use an external thunderbolt drive as my Windows partition, but Windows doesn't want to be installed on removable media, and even if it worked, I believe you can only boot OS X from thunderbolt. I do have a second OS X install booting from the thunderbolt drive, so I know that works. Also, FileVault 2 is installed on my OS X partition, and I read something about FV2 using the Recovery partition somehow so you can't remove the recovery partition to make room for BitLocker.
So ... does anyone have any suggestions preferably based on personal experience as to whether options #1 or #2 should work for my needs?
At this point, I'm really thinking I should just bite the bullet and purchase a PC that I will forever look down upon.

Are you using a MacBook Pro? Is everything installed on the same drive?
I would love to know how that install was performed. When I install Windows under boot camp, my MacBook Pro drive ends up with 4 partitions: Mac, Mac Recovery, Windows, and a small partition that I believe is used by boot camp.
Installing BitLocker on Windows requires the creation of a new small partition that Windows will boot off. The small partition is unencrypted, while the primary Windows partition will get encrypted. The following post discusses the maximum partition issue: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22753791#22753791
Has anyone installed Windows through boot camp on it's own drive, and if so, can BitLocker be installed on that without reaching any partition limit? I'm assuming that's possible, but would like to know before I spend hundreds on new hardware.

Using Boot Camp to install Windows XP: problems with display going blank

I have a new Mac mini (early 2009) connected to an older NEC MultiSync LCD (VGA only) display through a KVM.
I initially used the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter to make the display connection.
All worked fine with Mac OS X, but when I attempted to use Boot Camp to install Windows XP (Home), the display would go blank with the display saying "no signal" at some point during the install and I couldn't get the mini's display back without power cycling the mini. Numerous attempts at removing the Boot Camp partition, re-partitioning, and retrying resulted in nothing but frustration. I typically had to force the mini to boot from the OS X install DVD or Mac partition to make the mini usable again.
I have used my LCD display and KVM combination with a variety of computers running a variety of operating systems, including older Mac minis running both Mac OS X and XP, with no problems. And I intend to keep using it, so I wasn't going to assume the problem was there!
After noting that Apple had already released a [firmware update|http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mini_DisplayPort_to_VGA_FirmwareUpdate] for this adapter to address "[possible intermittent flickering and compatibility issues|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3492]", I double checked that it was up to date--and it was. But, it made me suspicious that this adapter might have some more problems and be the source of the troubles I was experiencing.
So, I got an Apple Mini-DVI to VGA adapter and tried that.
No more display problems! Everything works fine with Mac OS X. Windows XP installed without so much as a flicker, and it works smoothly with my setup.
I'm curious if I'm the only one who was affected by this problem?

Restart your Mac while holding down the Alt/Option-key until you get to the Boot Selection Screen.
Choose to boot OSX.
Use the BootCamp Assistant to remove the Windows partition.
Go to System Preferences then Startup Volume and rest the default to be your OSX volume.
Reboot your Mac again.
Follow the instructions from here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173 and use the BootCamp Assistant again to install Windows 7

Cannot use boot camp

According to the apple support website, I have to document my panic kernel in Apple Discussions (a lot of information). I hope to get an answer.
*Documenting the problem: partitioning and formatting partition hard drive MacBook for use of Windows (Boot Camp)*
Date: April, 18th, 2008
*Description of the problem:*
According to the manual, I tried to create a partition of 20GB, but after several minutes I got the ´panic kernel´. (“You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the restart button”)
After restart I can ask for the report (see problem details):
After saving the problem details, I send the report to apple (2 weeks ago).
I guessed something has happened, part of the disk was gone. However, bootcamp will not proceed further (install windows, see manual).
With a startup from the leopard DVD it is possible to fix the problems, but every time I try to use boot camp, I got the same panic kernel and messages (till now 3 times). So, it seems reproducable.
During the fixing process Disk utility says (in red, translated from dutch):
- Minor adjustments in volumebit
- elegible number of files on volume
- elegible number of volume directories
- elegible number of free blocks on volume
At the end the follwing text appears (in green):
The volume 'Martijn's schijf' is fixed
After that, no problem at all☺
Nevertheless, in this way it is not possible to install windows. I would like to ask you if this problem is already known and/or described. I have searched on the net, but most of the information in forums is too detailed for me. Therefore, I try this way first.

Reformat the drive. Disk Utility Partition, and create one new partition, don't use the current setup. Then either restore from backup or fresh install. I would clone the drive before ever starting the BootCamp Assistant process.
Most kernel panics are memory or hardware. In this case, well, lots of threads with "Partition Failure" and / or "kernel panic." A google for "Mac kernel panic" will show a number of sites with FAQs.
Disk Warrior is also a handy disk repair program. Not only backup and have a bootable clone, but one with an emergency boot volume to use instead of relying on DVD and Disk Utility, and so you are running the latest versions.

Is it possible by using boot camp to set up a high spec mac pro to operate as a pc server for a network of approx 20 pcs
