Not to sound blunt or anything but it's obvious you're doing something wrong then. Never had one problem when partitioning with Mac OS X' Disk Utility.

no im a pc user, and ive tryed using partition magics wizard before and it never sems to work for me its prob me, i understand what needs to be done but it never works out. I think the problem is i end up moving thing and not changing the MBR or something who knows

Question alot of people are forgetting about... Once we're in Windows and all, how do we right click? Is there an utility out there that emulates the whole control + click thing?

edit: http://www.geocities.com/pronto4u/applemouse.html found it.

I've got the boot loader working, that was easy enough. But there's still no support for the 20" iMac so I can't do anything else :(

More isnt always better? :D

Now i seriously have to decide to get rid of my mac and pc and buy an iMac or MacBook PRO

Its the darn price thats holding me back atm :)

Because the iMac uses a Conroe? So I could say, sad moment in time for PCs? :rolleyes:

Actually the iMacs do not (currently) use Conroes. Conroes will be 64bit CPUs (via EMT64). The Intel Dual Core CPUs in the iMacs are 32bit chips. Conroe represents the next generation that presumably Apple will implement when they are ready from Intel.

The Intel Core Duo used by the current crop of Apple x86 computers is actually using the Yonah core:

Well I backed up my drive, made the windows xp sp2 cd, reinstalled tiger, blessed the efi file thing, got into the win xp installation, did the ntfs (quick) thing on the ms dos partition i made earlier... all looked like it was going well up to this point.

it froze when win xp starts to copy files over for installation. completely froze. this wasn't in his instructions, so thats as far as i can get with my intel mac mini (core solo).

At that point i also realized that... if there are no drivers for the bluetooth, my bluetooth keyboard wouldnt work anyway, right? And i don't have a regular keyboard anywhere anymore.

:sigh:

I will wait a few more days and see what develops i guess.

I think we all knew this would happen eventually. It just so happens that it happened sooner than later.

I'm sure all the Apple lovers who prayed that it would never happen, cried and told us that it would never happend, and dreaded this day are currently at their psychiatrists seeking professional help and getting prescriptions for antidepressants. I think it's funny.

The thing is that you don't need to buy a Mac to use the best OS in the world (IMCO), we've had Windows XP running on Intel forever. ;) I hope nobody gets offended by this comment. That wasn't the point. It's just for fun. If you do get offended you need to get away from your computer, go outside, and get a life.

Now what I find amusing is the fact that this method will likely be patched in the next OSX update which will lead to a whole new group of people complaining. :blink:
Apple have said they will do nothing to prevent Windows from running on a Mac, so I don't think you need to worry about that.

A lot of people over at MacRumors.com have gotten XP up and running - it's a pity so many of you are having trouble.

I get a kick out of reading through this thread. All the people who claimed fake until they frothed at the mouth all look like a bunch of boobs now hehehe

Eventhough I claimed it was fake, ofcourse I hoped myself that I turned out wrong, and now I'm glad I was indeed wrong :)

The only bad thing out of this is, i guess, now i'm having such an urge to buy a macbook pro :(

I dont own a Mac - I've always wanted one tho.

But I cant help feeling that this has some how cheapened the whole Mac scene etc - now I cant see any reason why I want to pay well over the odd's for a Mac when its nothing more than a pretty looking "normal" PC - and even the spec's aint that great over a PC.

However that said - they still look darn pretty.

    • Hello, Installed here without issue. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.

    • This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed in a recent interview that the company may have to raise prices on some of its products due to the ongoing memory shortage. While he did not elaborate on the scale of the price hikes, new estimates suggest that Pro iPhone models could become significantly more expensive this fall. The Wall Street Journal and research firm TechInsights have come up with an educated estimate of how much the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could cost after its launch in September. The estimate is based on current increases in memory and storage chip prices. For starters, the iPhone 18 Pro base model is expected to feature 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. According to TechInsights estimates, 12GB of DRAM for the iPhone 17 Pro cost Apple $39 last year. However, for the iPhone 18 Pro, the cost of the same amount of DRAM could soar to $145. Likewise, 256GB of flash storage that previously cost $13 could now cost around $51. Producing a base iPhone 17 Pro reportedly cost Apple around $582, but TechInsights estimates that the production cost of the iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $726. If Apple wants to maintain the roughly 47% profit margin it enjoys on the iPhone 17 Pro, the base price of the iPhone 18 Pro would need to reach $1,371. After standard pricing adjustments, customers could end up paying around $1,299 for the base model. However, that may not be the end of the story. As we previously reported, the iPhone 18 Pro is said to feature a variable-aperture lens, which could cost Apple at least 50% more than the current camera system. The estimated $1,299 price tag does not include the additional cost of this upgraded camera hardware. Once that expense is factored in, the base model could cost at least $1,399. A $1,399 price tag for the base iPhone 18 Pro would represent a significant increase over the current $1,099 starting price of the iPhone 17 Pro. If Apple wants to keep its upcoming iPhones competitive, it may need to accept lower profit margins.
