You insert the Windows disc and restart and the next thing you know, you are looking at an ugly blue screen with white text that looks like you are working on a computer from the 1980’s. So, now Bootcamp has created a separate volume for Windows. Bootcamp would also allow you burn a CD with Windows drivers on it to install after installing Windows, but with 10.6, Bootcamp just tells you to insert the 10.6 DVD after you install Windows to install the Windows drivers. Once Bootcamp has created the two volumes, you now have one volume with your Mac data and one volume for your Windows data. However, always back up your data before you use Bootcamp.
It does this without destroying your Mac data. It is an application that will “repartition” your hard drive into two volumes (essentially, two hard drives). Bootcamp really doesn’t have anything to do with Windows. It also came with 10.4, but it was a beta version that expired when 10.5 came out. Apple came up with their Windows on a Mac solution with Bootcamp.īootcamp comes with Mac OS 10.5 and later. Jason answers: Since Apple moved to Intel processors over 4 years ago, it made Apple computers compatible with Windows.
There is a new software that I plan to get for my lab, but I was informed it is ‘problematic’ with Fusion, but great with Bootcamp. I need to be able to efficiently run some PC software on my Macs (a bummer, but a reality 🙂 ]. I have loaded Fusion on 4 of my iMacs (small computer lab) and I am not happy. Question from Tami: I’d like to understand the difference between VM Ware Fusion and Bootcamp.
