No bootcamp in Leopard?

[danp83]

Hi,

I'm new here - so thanks in advance for your help!

I've just bought a new black MacBook from PC World... but I can't find Boot Camp anywhere. I've done a search using Spotlight, but it doesn't seem to have been installed. I've manually checked in the /Utilities directory, but can't find it there either.

Am I missing something? I thought bootcamp was installed by default in Leopard?

I put in the Apple system DVD, but I couldn't find a way to manually install boot camp, or anything else actually, without wiping the system? Couldn't see any option relating to boot camp.

Thanks again for any help :-)

Boot Camp Assistant should be in your Utilities folder, which is in the Applications folder.

You can install apps only from the install disk or use Pacifist (http://www.charlessoft.com/) to extract individual app packages from the install disc.

New macbook, try these instructions. It seems apple messed up with the new macbooks and forgot to include it on the standard install.

Insert install disc 1. Then press cmd+shift+g. Then copy and paste the following into the box

/Volumes/Mac OS X Install Disc 1/System/Installation/Packages/

Then look for BootCamp.pkg. Then just run that and it should appear in your Utilities folder.

It was a bit of a pain for me to find and i have been doing this sort of thing with macs for about 3 years now.

Congrats on your purchase and feel free to ask as many questions as you want. Afterall we were all new to it once.

Are you sure you are running Leopard?
