Uninstalling Leaopard. Will boot camp still work?

Hi I have leopard and boot camp installed on my MBP right now. I was wondering if I uninstall leopard and put tiger back on, will boot camp work automatically?

Sam:
Shouldn't be an issue. Both are on separate partitions and unrelated. Just don't do anything to the boot camp parititon.

Uninstalling Windows via Boot Camp, still partitioning after roughly 1 hour

Hi,
This is my first post, but I'm a long time searcher. I usually find what I'm looking for, but in this case I thought best to ask. I hope I follow the correct etiquette!
So today I thought I would have a go at installing Windows XP via Boot Camp on my MacBook Pro. To cut a long story short, I completely messed it up because I (stupidly) read SP1 instead of SP2 on the CD and essentially it didn't install anything from the boot CD's -- as you would expect.
So after a quick panic I got back running in OS, and have now just tried to uninstall windows using Boot Camp, following the correct instructions, and after around an hour now it's status is still reading: Partitioning disk.....
Is this to be expected, or is this wrong? Initially I only partitioned 32Gb for Windows as I didn't really want to do anything with it.
I have done a few searches and got some mixed answers - ranging from it should be instantaneous, to it could take an hour.
What should I do next?
Thanks in advance.

Well......First, I should say that although I've used Macs for many years I'm not an expert by any means. So, take my advice with caution.
In some ways it seems like, without a full backup, you are sort of between a rock and a hard place =-( I'm not sure what will happen if you force quit the Boot Camp repartitioning. It might be o.k. and it might bugger up your hard drive and require you to reinstall everything. I'm not sure what effect "ejecting" the Windows partition would have.
I guess at some point you're just going to have to do something. When I get to a point where I am in a situation like you are I search the Internet for as much information as I can get. If I can't find a specific answer to my problem at least I usually get some idea of what to try. Then I just go ahead and start trying things. When you get into that situation it is much less stressful if you have a complete backup. (It's really worth spending the money to buy an external hard drive and start using Time Machine to make a backup.)
I know that my answer is not much help. Sorry about that. Maybe someone else will chime in with some more useful information. If they don't I guess that you're just going to have to take a plunge =-(

Problem on early 2009 iMac with OS 10.5.8 500gb hdd after uninstalling Windows with boot camp there is still no more disc space available

I had a partioned HDD 250 gb Mac and 250 gb Windows. I have uninstalled Windows with boot camp but still dont have the extra 250 gb available. What to do now?

You need to remove the partition you created when you set up BootCamp.

After upgrading to Lion can't get Boot Camp to work! Just get "startup dusk cannot be portioned or restored to a single partition"?

After upgrading to Lion can't get Boot Camp to work! Just get "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition". Anytone?

This message, and threads like yours got asked daily for over two years, now it is only a couple times a week!!
Is it so hard to follow through? you were to have backup already, clones are best, then erase/format and restore.
Then partition.
Some have been able to use Disk Utility booted from OS X DVD or another drive, and repair the drive.
You have to use Boot Camp Assistant (99.9% anyway) to create and achieve a proper Windows Master Boot Record partition.

If I upgrade to Mountain Lion on the computer that will install it, will my WIFI still work on the computer that cannot be upgraded? I know this is a very basic question

If I upgrade to Mountain Lion on the computer that will install it, will my WIFI still work on the computer that cannot be upgraded? I know this is a very basic question. Trying to hold out as long as I can, but purchasing an iPhone for Christmas and new iMac next year when warrently expires.

Thank U very much for the quick reply, I wanted to upgrade this weekend, but still on the fence. I can live with the software that is not compatible, they are on another compuetr, just didn't want the obvious stuff to stop working.

I just bought a new iMac. Will my pse6 still work on it.

You will need to tell us which OS?
Is it OSX 10.9.2?
If so PSE6 will usually work.

Will boot camp run windows XP on a Mac book pro retina

Will boot camp run windows XP on a Mac book pro retina

No. The newest Mac OS X version capable of setting up Windows XP or Vista in Boot Camp is 10.6.8, which is too old for that Mac model.
You may be able to use it inside a product such as VirtualBox, Parallels Desktop, or VMware Fusion.

If you jailbreak your ipod touch and crack the screen will the warrenty still work? Also, would the warrenty fix the screen?

Once you jail break Apple won't help with the machine. I'm not even sure if they'll honor an 'out of warranty' replacement.

Will my programs still work when upgrading to 10.6?

I am using a MacPro with 10.5 and I want to upgrade to 10.6 but the thing is that I have some programs that I use continuously but I didn't pay for them (if you know what I mean...). Will these programs still work when I upgrade to 10.6?

10.6 is Intel only. To continue the use of older non-Intel software, that software must work with Rosetta emulation (which almost evrything does). Be sure that when you are installing 10.6, the option to add Rosetta emulation to Mac OS X 10.6 is selected.
I do not know what you mean by your comments, but if this computer is being used for Business purposes, you are taking a huge risk that someone can come after you Business profits.

Will Boot Camp in leopard work with 64 bit Windows Vista Ultimate?

I installed Boot Camp beta in Tiger. Then I installed the 64 bit version of windows Vista Ultimate. Many drivers were not installed such as the keyboard mapping driver. I bought Leopard. Should the version of Boot Camp in Leopard work with the 64 bit Windows Vista Ultimate or would I probably encounter the same driver problems? Should I delete the Windows partition before upgrading to Leopard and then install the 32 bit version of Windows Vista Ultimate for all the drivers to work properly?
Please advise what to do.
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi,
since the 'new' BootCamp 2.0 also only includes Driver support for the 32-bit Windows versions, you will get a 2nd Encounter.
Is there a specific reason for you to use the 64-bit versions, apart from maybe the 4GB RAM 'issue' ?
Installing the 32-bit version and then the Drivers from the OSX DVD should give you all the drivers needed.
Regards

Will boot camp work with XP

I have a new MacBook Air and would like to use Boot Camp to split the drive. Will it work with XP, or do I have to load Win 7?

I agree with SP Forsythe recommendation, you can buy Parallels Desktop 7 ($79.95) or VMware Fusion 4(49.95) these programs make what is called a virtual machine on your iMac it's like any other program, but is is designed to run Windows and other OS along side of your Mac OS no need to restart your iMac, the main advantage. Note: You will need to have a full version of Microsoft Windows.

Will Boot Camp work with the new Macbook Airs?

I want an 11.6" MBA now, but I want to be sure I can put Windows 7 on it if I need to. Will this just work like the other MacBooks? Does the new MBA software USB key come with the Boot Camp setup files? Thanks!

I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 on my MBA 11" using a USB flash drive and a program called rEFIt, http://refit.sourceforge.net. it's a free program that also lets you install Linux too. you can even triple boot.
i have had no problems with my MBA and i've had it for a few weeks now. it's awesome.
for those curious how i managed to install Win 7 via USB flash drive, i used a free program from MS that you can find here. http://store.microsoft.com/Help/ISO-Tool?err=t2#at2
i hope that helps.
now i must go post a new thread with my problem of enabling AHCI on the MBA!

Blue tooth on win 7 boot camp not working.

I'm running Win 7 ultimate on a mac book pro purchased a couple of months ago.
after many different attempts and rough hours shouting to the heavens the hate i feel for this demonic device i managed to have to running Win.
I can deal with extreme penalties of becoming an apple customer in terms of no HDD common access from both Os`s, keyboard and track pad non responses etc... i can figure out for the life of me why cant i make the blue tooth devices pair !? maybe i got spoiled using a dell notebook for many years and i'm used to things working for the way i want them to and its a different package i should have bought from apple (aside for care and shmare )
Anybody feels like giving a hand here ?

When you completely uninstall all video drivers Windows will fall back to a very basic (it's like it's 1995!) video driver. As the thread starter says 800x600 is the resolution.
So this morning I did fully uninstall all drivers and got the 800x600 in the center of the screen and rebooted with the stretched 800x600. Once I logged in Windows did install a driver (ATI Mobility HD 4850 (Microsoft Corporation WDDM1.1)) I forget the version of it though. Anyway it was buggy (I think but it was not band-y ). So I ran the boot camp 3.1 update. When I rebooted everything looked great.
My driver version though 8.641.1.0 (8/24/2009)! So now I'm older then 8.661 BUT no banding and no constant crashing. I did get the split screen issue where the top is on the bottom and the bottom is up top. This was at the login screen though and once I logged in my desk top was ok. My card is also identified as ATI Radeon HD 4850, I thought it was the mobility version though.
And that was not as simple as I wrote.. There were MANY rollbacks and uninstalls and trying to manually pick the driver to install. Even got the black screen at one point and had to boot to command line to delete that ATI file. So maybe set aside an hour or two...
STO played fine as well!
Now to rock the boat and see if Windows wants to update me...

Option Key for Boot Camp not working with New iMac Keyboard

Hi, I own a early 2006 Intel iMac. Recently, my wife complained that the keyboard was getting dirty. Basically I think she liked the new keyboard on the new Aluminum iMac better. We purchased it back in August and everything worked great. Oh I also had the beta version of Boot Camp installed. Everything worked great, hold Option down on boot and could choose which OS to go into.
Fast forward to now, purchased Leopard and love it! Decided to wipe the system and do a fresh install. Everything is installed (Leopard, Boot Camp, Windows XP) and working great, that is except when I press and hold the Option key at start up. If I have the new keyboard installed, the Option key does not bring up the boot manager. However if I plug the original keyboard in and hold Option, it works!!!
Ok I could see a problem if the new keyboard was NOT an Apple product. But it is and frustraiting as I can use the control panel to choose. This is a long round about method and does not make a happy wife with me. HELP!
Jhan Jensen

Thanks for the info! I was about to call myself and I may still do so. I am hoping if Apple gets enough of these calls then maybe it will spur them on to get it done sooner. (Apple are you listening) I will do the same with the KB swapping, she will be happy at least she can still use the new keyboard. She types a lot and has be really happy with the new keyboard and its response.
Thanks again for the help!!!
