Boot Camp 1.4 Released

XP or Vista pricing

Kugo said:
Boot Camp is cool. It lets me use Windows even though I pretend to be a snob like John Gruber.

I'd like to try Boot Camp but the price for Windows XP (or Vista) full installation is too costly. Has anyone seen XP or Vista full install (not the upgrade for folks who already have Windows installed) at a decent price? :confused:

Just buy it OEM. Much cheaper than upgrade and the same thing as the full box. (Well besides that you are not supposed to install it on a different system)

And how does one accomplish that without buying a PC? :confused:

I've noticed that brightness/sound controls now have "Mac" indicators that show up on the screen and make the blip noise when the sound level changes. Also, Boot Camp is turning into a more mature control panel.

Actually this brightness/sound functionality, at least on my system, was there in 1.3. Still nice though - very handy.

We'll make the chip HDCP compliant but we can't guarantee every other component on there is.

Note: This is on the video card itself.

Service Pack 2 awesome!. As if I couldn't find it on Microsoft's site as it is.

You buy a Molex to SATA power cable converter. You don't need to buy a whole computer to get OEM, just a part for a computer. Usually this would be a hard drive. A small hard drive is quite cheap these days. Much cheaper to buy both than buying a retail copy. Plus you can use the hard disk (or the hard disk cable) or sell it on.
 
Still Beta

347 MB download:eek:

I'll be glad when it is finally available through system update should bring the required download sizes down a lot. 347 MBs is just ridiculous.

Is this still beta? Doesn't say in the title.

Edit: Yes is is. can you update the article so it says beta somewhere.

Hopefully Bootcamp comes out of beta with the Leopard release

You do know that 10.5 isn't out yet, but only for developers? If you paid that money for the ADC membership, you should know... :rolleyes:

Does anyone know if this error message still shows up during Windows Vista startup, on the Mac Pro?

"Warning: Unrecognized partition table for drive 80. Please rebuild it using a Microsoft-compatible FDISK tool (err=4)."

Wow.. I actually found a thread where this was discussed, finally. I'm having this issue with Vista on my Mac Pro. EasyBCD does fix the problem, but deactivates windows at the same time.

I think for now i'll just let it take it's extra minute to start up. :(
 
OK, i have a question. I have Leopard and i have Boot Camp 2.0. When i was installing my Windows Partition, i used the 1.3 (beta) drivers instead of the 2.0 drivers. Can i just load up the 2.0 drivers and it will overwrite it or whatever, or do i have to re-install Windows?

Also, is 2.0 have better/more stuff then 1.4?

You can just take the 2.0 drivers and install them into windows.. however, i'm not sure if 2.0 HAS drivers. I just realized that when I installed Vista via Bootcamp just now, the boot camp assistant app didn't give me the option of creating a Mac Drivers CD. Maybe it does it by itself now?? I'm using Leopard and Boot Camp 2.0.

It has the drivers in the Leopard install disk, but i don't know if i copy them onto a CD then load them onto Windows or if I put the Leopard install disk in Windows and load them from there.

Does anybody know where they are?
