To install Windows on your Mac using Boot Camp, follow the steps listed below in the order listed: Notes:. Click Continue on the initial introduction window.
Set the partition size for the Windows installation. To change the amount of space to dedicate to Windows 7, click the small divider between Mac OS X and Windows, and drag it to the left. Note: Windows 7 requires at least 16 GB of hard drive space to install but keep in mind that the this space will also need to accomidate any applications installed and your saved documents. Then, click Drive options advanced. Click OK when notified that files will be lost.
Note: The new partition will not contain any files. With the Windows 7 DVD removed, your Mac will automatically boot back into Windows 7, and the installation will continue.
Follow any additional instructions to complete the installation of the Windows 7. Click Next when the Boot Camp installer launches. Select I accept the terms in the license agreement and then click Next. The Boot Camp installer will install all the required drivers. And you need, install its Extension Pack also Now launch VirtualBox program, and click on New button on the upper left corner to create a virtual machine on your Windows machine and give it a name Choose the type as Mac OS X Server bit.
Do not even dare to choose the 32 bit option as it would not let you install Mac on Windows While assigning RAM to it, remember a simple logic that what ever number you choose, that much of RAM will be allocated to the VirtualBox everytime to run it.
So let it be 2GB which is a safe option. And it is recommended to go with dynamically expanding disk which would surely save some of your hard disk space Once it is created, we would have to do some tweaking.
Once you launch VirtualBox, you will see your Mac machine on the left panel, just click on it once Once the Settings window is infront of you, click on System and uncheck the Enable EFI option. There you will see a CD icon labelled as Empty. You can to configure it a bit.
Navigate to the location where you have downloaded the. If you do not find any options, do not panic as this is how it is supposed to be. Now click on the virtual hard disk, click on Erase tab and then on Erase button Now you will find the hard disk on Installation page. Select it and proceed It will now take some time and once the installation is complete, Mac will crash. Before installation of VMs, you have the opportunity to customize the amount of memory allocated to each VM and whether it can access one or two processor cores.
Running Windows 7, perhaps the most common virtualization scenario for a typical Mac user, has been relatively smooth, but integration with the Mac desktop is a work in progress. Unity mode lets Windows applications run in much the same ways as Mac apps, with each app getting its own icon and window rather than being contained inside a window that holds the entire Windows desktop.
When this happens, the tried-and-true methods of just waiting a long time or restarting the virtual machine usually work. Once in Unity, you can add Windows programs to either the Mac applications folder or your Launchpad, an iPad-like screen of application icons developed for Lion to provide quick access to frequently used software.
The default applications that come with Windows are not added automatically. The method for removing the IE9 setup utility from Launchpad was not immediately apparent. Clicking the Option button in Launchpad allows you to delete some, but not all, application icons. The option to remove the IE9 setup utility from Launchpad did not appear on my first attempt, but I was able to remove the icon from Launchpad after deleting the utility program from the Mac Finder.
When you turn on this feature, the applications that are not part of the default install for Windows are added to the Applications folder and Launchpad. The same thing happens for newly installed Windows applications automatically.
Using the four-finger swipe to enter Mission Control, I was able to see all my currently running applications from both Mac and Windows. But if you would rather keep Windows and Mac applications separate, you can exit Unity mode and view the guest operating system and all of its applications in a single window, which can be shown in partial- or full-screen mode. I prefer seeing the Windows desktop in one place, perhaps because I was a longtime Windows user before purchasing a Mac last year.
