In addition to the virtual environments of Parallels and VMware, you can boot Windows natively if you use Boot Camp to install it.... I was just wondering what the options would be if I wanted to boot windows using a MacBook that still runs Tiger? ...
You believe incorrectly.Not with Tiger. Boot Camp was strictly a Leopard application I believe.
...
Running Windows natively has nothing to do with the Mac OS you are running. You can put Windows on an Intel Mac that has no preexisting OS at all on it.
Boot Camp is still an option. The misconception that you need Leopard probably stems from the fact that Leopard shipped with the drivers and the application called boot camp that partitions the drive for you and Tiger didn't. However, all of this can be done without Leopard, or even "Boot Camp" for that matter, it just takes a little more work or you need to find the Tiger Beta of boot camp.
You believe incorrectly.
How would any version of Windows install on a bare Intel Mac? The Mac has no BIOS? I thought Windows needed something to replace a BIOS in order to run on a Mac.You can put Windows on an Intel Mac that has no preexisting OS at all on it.

thats what i thought too. ... Macs use EFI... and when you install bootcamp, it edits the EFI to simulate a BIOS that the windows OS recognizes.
Hello,
I was just wondering what the options would be if I wanted to boot windows using a MacBook that still runs Tiger?
