Hello,
Sorry, but I can't help you with your windows questions, as I do not
have windows on the mac. I have been trying to get windows installed
on it fr weeks now without success, and the last time I tried (last
week), my mac partition got deleted. Here's what happened. When in the
bootcamp assistant, I elected to go with the "Use 32 Gigs" option.
This is because the instructions as well as Apple say that this is the
only way I could get, say, music, from my windows machine and transfer
it to my Mac with a nice iTunes library.
So, I selected that, and everything is successful untill windows asks
me for a partition. Only one is there, "Unknown partition", not the
bootcamp one that's supposed to be there. So, I didn't think I was
doing anything wrong deleting this particular partition. Huge, huge
error on my part, as everything on my Mac was gone, and I had to do a
fresh reinstall of Leopard again.
So, do any of you have these issues when selecting the "32 gigs"
option? If I choose "divide equally" will I be able to share between
computers And, once I finally do get it bloody working, I hope I won't
run into this problem of jaws stuttering. I suppose if I have a
problem I'll take my Mac to the apple store, but *shrug*, I'm a geek,
and want to become a computer programmer. I should be able to do these
things, it's destroying my Ego
Thanks.

Hi there. I know many of you guys run Windows on your Macs. I’ve
been doing this, too, for about a month now, and I have a few
questions for anyone who is willing to answer. By the way, I have a
Macbook with Leopard and run windows xp via bootcamp.
In the last few days, Jaws has started stuttering as if the system
is sluggish—but I don’t have lots of programs installed or running
on the system at once. Is it OK for me to use system tools like
disk clean-up or defragmenter to see if I could fix this problem?
Or could I run some type of external “clean-up” software, or would
this be dangerous since I’m sharing space with another OS. (does
that even make sense?)
2. My airport can still connect to my secured wireless network, but
my Windows cannot. It can connect to other networks—just not
security-enabled ones. I get an error about “the network might have
been removed. Hit refresh.) or something like that. Has anyone
else had this issue? To that end, is there a way to turn off the
wireless feature when in windows since it’s actually using the
airport?
I’m sure this is a silly question, but is there a way to move files
into Mac folders while running Windows or vice versa? When I have
Windows running, I can’t seem to find my Mac files (such as music)
anywhere…I can’t get to the other drive. (Sorry; I know just enough
to get myself in lots of trouble.)
Thanks in advance for your help.
Ginny
