Running Vista Trial Via Boot Camp?

I'm looking to have a form of Windows on my Mac temporarily, in order to finish an online tech class that requires Windows software instead of Mac. I just made the PC to Mac switch a month ago, so I'm pretty new to the Mac. Is it possible to download the [URL="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c2c27337-d4d1-4b 9b-926d-86493c7da1aa&displaylang=en"]Windows Vista Trial[/URL] while running Mac OS X 10.5.6, then somehow possibly run BootCamp to install the Vista Download, or visa versa, or something of that sort?
Basically, I just want to take the trial download while running the Mac OS, then somehow through BootCamp turn my Mac into Vista, temporarily. Is this at all possible?
Thank you in advance!

Installed Win Vista Business via boot camp now Macbook only loading to Win

Hi all,
I just did a standard Boot Camp install on my new MacBook, went through the Windows Vista Business install, and now the computer is only loading to Windows. How can I get back to the Mac partition?

You can try two quick things:
1. Press and Hold down the OPTION key when you turn your Mac on. This should give you the options of booting either OSx or Windows.
2. If step 1 does not work then when in window, go to CONTROL PANEL and then PERFORMANCE AND MAINTENANCE, Click on the boot camp icon. Choose the STARTUP DISK tab and Highlight OSx (MAC HD) and click OK. The next time you boot up you will should be in OSx.

Time fix for Vista x64 via boot camp...

Can someone tell me what specific drivers I need to load from the Leopard DVD to correct the constant changing of my the time on my Mac when I boot into Windows?
Vista x64.
Tried the registry changes, but they only seem to help temporarily as the time will get messed up later on (even when I have Internet time disabled).
Really frustrating problem as I have date/time stamp issues with development software I use (Visual Studio 2008).
Typically my PC will show 8 hours ahead. (I'm in Pacific Time zone).
Thanks, Rob.

Question about running EverQuest on a Boot Camp MacMini

Hey all,
I'm trying to get EverQuest working on my MacMini running Windows 7 via Boot Camp. Browsing through the archives of the internet, I've found many posts from 2007-2010 of people having success with this on a MacBook Pro (a few posts of which I found in these community archives), and I'm 99% certain that my MacMini hardware is more than sufficient. Anyway, I haven't even got to loading the game yet so performance my question isn't about performance.
My issue is that I'm trying to run the EverQuest LaunchPad to start patching the game, and it won't connect right from the outset. I've followed all of SoE's EQ LaunchPad Troubleshooting tips (here: http://help.soe.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/29017 ) and I've also gone in to my router settings and opened/forwarded all of the necessary EQ ports to this computer's IP address. I was hoping that would do it but no luck.
I also contacted the SOE Support staff and they were categorically unhelpful as usual. I used to play EQ a decade ago and I wasn't surprised to see that their customer service hasn't changed one bit. Well, here's to hoping that the Mac community is much more positive and helpful than SOE Support.
Has anyone experienced similar problems getting EverQuest to run on a Windows Boot Camp machine like this? How did people get their LaunchPad client to connect? I'm hoping there's some really dumb, obvious fix that I'm missing here because it really does seem like many have gotten this to work successfully and I'm a bit stumped at the moment..
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

the hardware of macs today and windows computer is pretty much the same
so when one use bootcamp it's really just a bootloaded which collects the windows partition from the harddisk and then let it take over and apart from one having to install the apple drivers and software to get it running well
it's the same as any windows computer
I do all my my gaming on windows on my imac and face no different challenges then I did when I had a windows computer really
so If I were you I would broaden my googling for solutions not just to include bootcamp but all windows issues with newer windows versions and everquest could as easy be a issue there with newer video card drivers and the likes

How can I force mount a dvd that isn't even seen by Disk Utility? I can see it on the Mac when using my Windows 7 partition via Boot Camp, but not in Lion, which is how I would rather be running.

Well if there is a EFI block, then running a program in OS X isn't going to do a lick of good.
After all EFI was designed for Trusted Computing and Digital Rights Management, to act between the OS and hardware, can read drives, contact the Internet and everything.
Windows doesn't use EFI, will have UEFI in Windows 8 though.

Install Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit via Boot Camp

I am using a 17" MacBook Pro with and Intel i7 2.66 GHz processor, 8GB 1067 MHz RAM and a 7200RPM 500GB hard drive. I am trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit via Boot Camp. I do what Boot Camp tells me to do, but when my MacBook Pro restarts to boot from the Windows 7 disc, all I get get is a white screen! I have tried to boot manually from the Windows 7 disc, but it won't boot. It freezes on the white screen and I have to reboot the Mac using the Mac OS X partition. How can I fix this ASAP so I can install Windows 7? I need to get it done TONIGHT! I just found out that I am running the 3.0.2 version of boot camp on my Mac OS X 10.6.4 version. Is this the problem? Do I need to update my Boot Camp Utility? If so, how do I do it or do I have to install Windows Vista first since the update is a .exe file?

All of these discs came with my previous PC computers that I used to have, but I no longer have those PCs. Only their discs. Is using discs that came with other computers for those computers the problem? Do I have to use a Windows disc that has not been used before?

The disks that come with PCs most often include only the drivers and applications required by the PC they were made for. You can not use these disks to install on other than the original hardware.

If I buy an iMac computer will I be able to run Pinnacle 14 through Boot Camp

I am considering moving from Windows PC to an iMac machine and understand that Boot Camp allows the use of Windows programs. Would I be able to use Pinnacle 14 via this option ?

If you grabbed one of the current iMacs you'd have very little trouble playing almost any of the games currently on the market and a good many of the ones scheduled to arrive this year.
Boot Camp is really simple and easy to use so if you don't feel like buying the Mac versions of your games you can quite easily run them on Windows via Boot Camp. However, the Mac versions tend to be just as good as the PC versions (I would say at times they're even more stable).
As for XP or Vista, that's really your choice. The last specs I saw put XP as a better gaming OS than Vista, and for the longest time I forsook Vista for a performance build of XP Pro, but now I've actually started using Windows 7 to do some gaming and have found it to be a good competitor for XP.
That being said, if you're getting one of the newer Macs you're better off with Vista if only for the DDR3 RAM support which, I'm told, isn't found in XP. The RAM works just fine in XP but, again from what I've been told, Vista can use it to it's fullest.

Boot Camp users using XP via Boot Camp, Can you install Open Type Fonts? 2

I have written this post as a continuation of the following archived thread, which has never been solved.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1778497&start=0&tstart=0
Have any of the Boot Camp 3.0 users that have been using Windows XP via Boot Camp been able to install Open Type Fonts, i.e. fonts that are sold by Adobe?
I have now tried this on two new MacBook Pros, and I have tried three different retail versions of Windows XP on each system. It just does not work.
I keep getting the "Unable to Install Font" message, which suggests that I contact the font vendor, which I have. I have also tried many different versions of different fonts.
From the many complaints and troubleshooting in my original thread, we know that this is definitely an issue with Boot Camp, which prevents users from installing Open Type Fonts, specifically from Adobe.
Has anyone else experienced this with Boot Camp 3.0?
Thanks!

The fix for this can be found here:
http://www.thomasphinney.com/2008/12/no-font-instal/
It's a simple registry edit. It resolved the issue for us on both nVidia and ATI iMacs running XP in Bootcamp.
Here's the relevant excerpt:
+Nvidia says the problem occurs on Windows XP only, and Vista users are unaffected, but at least one Vista user has reported they had this problem and the fix resolved it. It affects multiple NVidia cards, and some (unspecified) ATI cards. The fix, posted by David Ingraham in a horribly lengthy thread on the Adobe User Forums, and in a post by “PixelNinja” on the NVidia forums is this:+
+— start of email from HP —Good news. Nvidia has identified the problem and provided a fix. The way it was explained to me, Windows expects the device driver to be a certain size (maximum). In this case, the nvidia driver is slightly larger than expected. A simply registry entry will resolve the issue in WinXP (the issue doesn’t occur in Vista).To resolve the problem, do the following:+
+Open the registry editor (regedit)+
+Navigate to+
+HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management+
+Add a new REG_DWORD entry called SessionImageSize with a value (decimal) of 20+
Reboot
+The Type 1 fonts should now open/install without any problems.+

Problem trying to install XP via Boot Camp, computer almost died

Hi there,
I just recently purchased a 24" 2.8Ghz intel iMac 500GB harddrive with OS X 10.5.2. I plugged everything together yesterday morning and the computer was going fine, just liek a dream. On a side note I was genuinely impressed with the ease of setting up and how quick, intuitive and reliable the mac and OS X Leopard was.
This is a bit long but I think I need to go into detail what happened in order for any of you to fully understand what happened to my mac.
Later in the afternoon I decided to install Win XP via Boot Camp. I knew that XP SP2 or later and VISTA was recommended but I decided to use my XP Home Edition "2002 version" install disc instead.
I opened up the Boot Camp Assistant, partitioned 15GB of the 500GB harddrive, inserted WinXP install disc and the computer restarted with everything going to plan thus far. I was going through the install process as normal but I came to a window asking which partition to use to install XP ("c" or "d") or if I wanted to create another partition. I also had my iPod still connected to the computer and I think the installation recognised that harddrive too (all 12GB of space left on my iPod). I wasn't sure what to do so I decided to quit the install process by pressing the relevent keys ("press F3 to quit" etc). Upon automatically restarting the computer I first came to a white screen for about1 or so minutes and then a black screen came up with white text asking me to "press any key to 'something' the CD" (can't remember what the rest of the text was), but the keyboard was unresponsive. I turned the computer off and unplugged it as according to the instruction manual that came with the mac, waited the suggested 5-6 seconds, turned it back on but I came across the same screens. I couldn't eject the XP install disc either. I restarted the computer again, held down the eject button whilst restarting, the disc thankfully ejected but I then came across the same black screen but with no text, just a white flashing underscore cursor. I decided to remove my iPod and restart the computer again. AGAIN I came across the same white screen, then black screen with the flashing white underscore cursor and unresponsive keyboard. I decided to insert the OS X install disc 1 (I don't remember if I inserted it whilst at the black screen or if I restarted the computer and THEN inserted the OS X install disc). The disc loaded slowly but I eventually went through the install process (choosing your language) and then came across a window asking me "Where would you like to install OS X?" but I couldn't install it anywhere. I opened "disk utility" or some program with the word "disk" in it, had no idea what I was doing, somehow created a new volume (though I thought I was actually erasing the XP partition I set up earlier) but in MS-DOS FAT Format or something. I then was able to choose a place (or volume) to install OS X but I had to change the format of the untitled volume from FAT to something along the lines of "Mac OS X journaled (enabled)" (whatever that means). There were other format options available but I just chose the top one on the list (Mac OS X journaled (enabled)). I then made a full install of OS X 10.5.2 and late last night downloaded the latest pdate for Leopard (10.5.4) along with other updates. The computer is working fine now thankfully andeverything seems to be back to normal.
I just want to know what actually happened. What did happen to my computer? Did I somehow wipe the harddrive? Why didn't the computer reboot to HDD when I ejected the WinXP install disc? Which format is the HDD formatted to? What does "Mac OS X journaled (enabled)" mean? Also how come my HDD is 500GB whereas when I checked Boot Camp Asistant a second time (but not installing Win XP again) My HDD is 460GB with 440GB of available space? Is there still another partition I am unable to see? Is there an extra 40GB of data floating around the harddrive that I'm unaware of? What are the factory settings for my computer? I really hope I haven't formatted the disk and installed the OS to settings that weren't like how the computer was originally set BEFORE I regrettably tried to install WinXP via Boot Camp.
If anyone could respond or give me some sort of advice, explanation or help I would very much appreciate your assistance.
Cheers.

According to wiki "the documentation from Apple states that Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista is requisite for a Boot Camp installation, and it also mentions that trying to install an unsupported operating system could prevent the computer from booting even into Mac OS X". Sure that was from wiki, but it does seem to support and somewhat validate the problem I had with installing an earlier edition of XP.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BootCamp_%28software%29#Other_operatingsystems
Thanks for the info on the Filesystem info. My problem is that installing OS X on a mac is just a little bit more technical than installing Windows on a PC as there are a few more things to consider. Plus I'm not familiar with any of the utility programs as well. It's a **** miracle I managed to somehow create a volume to install OS X on when I thought I was erasing the partition I created for WinXP.
But I'm still not sure about the missing 40GB from my 500GB HDD. Upon coming to the desktop straight after OS X was fully re-installed I noticed that the HDD only had 460GB and that 440GB of it available space. So the full installation of OS X was 20GB, but where has the other 40GB gone? I swear I saw that I had much more available space on my harddrive (BEFORE I tried to partition my HDD under Boot Camp Assistant and stuffing up the computer). Is the missing 40GB from the ORIGINAL FACTORY INSTALL of OS X INCLUDING all my iTunes music and other files I uploaded to the computer earlier? It would make sense but there's no way, as far as I know, of checking this. Any ideas?
Cheers.

Error 0x80070017 when installing Windows 7 via Boot Camp...

I've been trying hard to research this issue and haven't come across anything that has worked for me.
At work, we have an iMac (Early-2009) that we wish to install Windows 7 on. Previous user has left, so I reinstalled Snow Leopard (10.6) and used Disk Utility from the disc to reformat complete to GUID single partition Mac OS Extended (Journaled), which is pretty standard for Macs. Mac OS X installed and booted just fine. I updated completely to 10.6.8 and all other updates. Only installed Microsoft Office 2011 and Firefox.
So Boot Camp begins...
Found that the early-2009 model doesn't "support" Windows 7 64-bit, so we are fine going with 32-bit. The 32-bit Windows 7 disc has been used to install Windows 7 using Boot Camp on 2 Mac Mini's (one Intel Core Duo, the other one Intel Core 2 Duo) just a few days ago.
Opened Boot Camp Assistant, partitioned the 1TB drive equally, inserted the Windows 7 disc, and clicked Restart.
It boots from the Windows 7 disc, I go through the options, choose the BOOTCAMP partition and format it (I assume Windows 7 is choosing NTFS for me). Click next.
It copies the files instantly, but then "begins" to Expand the files. It remains at 0% for 5-10 minutes (I can hear the Windows 7 DVD spin down and spin up, but mostly spin down). That's when the error hits:
"Windows cannot copy files required for installation. The files may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070017"
I click Ok and cancel the install. Restart and boot back into Mac OS X. And here I am.
Important Notes:
I've tried multiple times with a 64-bit disc as well. I will likely go check out another 32-bit disc from our software department, but I know this disc works on other Macs.
This issue occurred a month back as well when we attempted to install Windows 7 via Boot Camp (so before the hard drive and OS were reformatted and reinstalled). I was hoping reformatting and reinstalling the Mac OS X would solve the issue.
The Superdrive appears to be working just fine.
I read somewhere that I need to use repair disk to fix it. Does anyone know if I can repair disk a NTFS partition? Or am I suppose to repair disk the parent drive itself? The place I read it wasn't specific AT ALL and the forum was closed and I couldn't find a way to get a hold of the person. It just said "Repair disk did the trick". People, if you find a solution to your own problem, POST the solution!
Thanks in advance!

Yea, I saw that kb article. I verified we have the early 2009 iMac. It's an iMac 9,1 (3.06 24-inch, A1225).
As far as different hardware, I really don't think so, but I'll have to double check with my fellow employees. The specs all match up, but I'll see if anyone remembers having to replace hardware or send it into Apple.
I did think of trying an external DVD drive too, I'll see if I can scrounge one up. I'll post if it works or not.
The employee using the machine knows Windows, but is willing to learn the Mac OS X. Diversify your experiences I always say!
An added note to the Repair Disk "solution". Turns out you can't run Repair Disk on NTFS partitions or the parent hard drive that contains that partition, which makes since. I can only run Repair Disk on the HFS+ partition which did no good. (This is, of course, from booting up using a Mac OS X Install DVD).
Mac_Win, thanks for the suggestions!

MacBook Pro 15 with Windows 8.1 installed via Boot Camp problem with keys "@" and " " of the keyboard

Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro Retina Maverick in 2013 on which I installed Windows via Boot Camp 8.1.
The installation went well but when I am running Windows 8.1, I have a problem with "@" and "<" keys on the keyboard.
When I type the "@" key, I get "<"
When I type the "<" button, I get "@"
I have reinstall Boot Camp from Windows 8.1 for reinstall the drivers and see if it would solve the problem but it was not the case.
Someone of you has he encountered the same problem?
Thank you.

The language of my Keyboard is French

5 year old Imac running Snow Leopard with Boot camp.

My IMac will not boot up when I turn on?
The grey apple logo screen and Apple Jingle occurs but I get no desktop or Finder Window and the computer turns off after about 5 minutes of trying to start up.
I inserted Snow Leopard Start Up Disk and tried running Disk Utility - however the Internal Hard Drive is not accesible and shows as being unmounted.
Furthermore - there is NO Start up Internal Hard Drive to reinstall the Snow Leopard OS to.I see my External Drive and Boot Camp partition ONLY.
Could this be a Hard Drive Failure?
However, when I turn the Computer on and Hold the Option key I have no issue booting Windows via Boot Camp and running Windows XP?
What can I do to resolve this?
I would be so greatful for any help to solve this issue.

It looks like your OS X partition is damaged, but not the hard disk. Although your OS X partition is unmounted, you can select it and repair the disk from the Mac OS X DVD. If it doesn't work, you will have to erase the OS X partition and reinstall OS X

If you have a Mid 2010 model: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery. If later then see below:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
If you have an earlier model:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Could not install Visual Studio 2013 in Windows 7 via Boot Camp

a license with me on hand.
Unfortunately, I had trouble installing Visual Studio as it gives me a fatal error for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 during installation
