| 1255835 | 2012-01-25 20:15:00 | The flatmate here has Snow leopard, and has just shown me the desktop. Its got a windows XP folder on it. Can he boot from it?? Has bootcamp got something to do with it? Or do you need bootcamp, (or something else) to use it? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1255836 | 2012-01-25 20:36:00 | Ok. Managed to find out how to select OS X and windows. You press the option key after you turn it on. But if you select windows, it goes to a black screen. Is it missing something? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1255837 | 2012-01-25 20:50:00 | Info here support.apple.com What version of Boot camp is it. Version 4.0 does not support XP only Win 7 Boot camp is in OS X Applications/Utilities |

| 1255838 | 2012-01-25 21:11:00 | Ta for that Safari.I'll check it out now | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1255839 | 2012-01-25 21:20:00 | Boot camp assistant is 3.04 (324). | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1255840 | 2012-01-25 22:12:00 | Also, the software update option on this is looking for akmmm.tpp.ac.nz for the updates, and fails. Probably because its not here. How do you change this?? Or remove it? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1255841 | 2012-01-25 23:01:00 | Got software update working, there was a typo in the plist. Had to delete the frirst h. It had hhttp. Thats why it was timing out | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1255842 | 2012-01-26 00:37:00 | Safari, do you know of any programs similar to bluescreenview, that can tell you the possible cause/s of crashing on osx?? Everything else seems to be OK. But this Macbook Pro crashes quite a bit. With kernel panics. I've been here (support.apple.com). It didnt crash in safe boot (while booting into it). AFAIK, its now up to date. That didnt fix the crashing. The router isnt malfunctioning / its fine. And up to date with the FW. A modem / router (probably) has nothing to do with it. Since, it doesnt have to be connected with wireless or ethernet to crash. |

| 1255843 | 2012-01-26 05:05:00 | Is it a folder or partition? You can't boot from folders... | icow (15313) | ||
| 1255844 | 2012-01-26 05:07:00 | Well there's a folder with the windows files in it. if thats what you mean. And it gives you an option of booting from it (if you restart / hold options key down). Thats what we were trying to boot from | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
