But the method we’re going to outline here is a bit different. They range from creating clones of an existing PC installation or using Microsoft IT tools for installing Windows.

There are actually a few ways you can successfully install Windows on an external drive. Installing Windows on an external drive would be a great solution to the problem of available space, but as we said, Boot Camp and Windows impose a restriction on installing to an external drive. While Boot Camp Assistant can partition your startup drive for you to make room for Windows, there are bound to be many of you who just don’t have room to spare on your startup drive to install Windows. One of the downsides to Boot Camp and the Windows installer is that it restricts you to only installing Windows on your Mac’s internal drive. It’s a nice capability that lets you select – at boot time – which operating system you wish to use: macOS or Windows. So you guys, just hook up second monitor on the Display Port, a Mouse and Keyboard, install, do the updates, and it all works perfect.Boot Camp and Boot Camp Assistant allow you to install Windows on your Mac. But at least I did not have issues making me delete any files. The funny thing is the sound that started to work seems to be over the HDMI connector to the second monitor.

After the system did its own update the Bluetooth started working, both the mouse and keyboard, the ATI drive got updated on its own, and then sound started to work all by itself too. After that the rest of the install worked (oh I also hooked up wired keyboard and mouse), including having 2560x1440 resolution.Īfter the install was done, the only thing that did not work (although the system says it does work) is sound and bluetooth. I noticed this because I hooked up a secondary screen during the install. If you continue the installation on the second screen, when it is done it switches back to the Mac 27" as the primary screen. When the screen goes black, it is the second monitor that becomes active leaving the primary 27" mac screen black.

I have to say this Windows 7 looks very good so far, and it seems it'll be a pleasure to use when I have to leave Mac OS

"Īnd indeed after this update it works perfectly.Įdit : Also, there was no sound, but Windows found the problem all by itself, downloaded some driver and it worked instantly after that. "ATI Technologies Inc driver update for ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670". I think Microsoft just released an update sometimes today and the update is reading as following:

Installing the ATI drivers from ATI did no good."īut the next one says "After following your solution and then run the window 7 update, the screen rsolution issue is now resolved. The only problem now, was that I couldn't go higher than a 1920x1440 resolution.Īs one person in the thread I linked said : "The BootCamp driver that loads only give a max resolution of 1980 X 1440 so everything looks stretched. So now the install went fine, and I've also installed Bootcamp 3.0. where one person links to the same site you do. Thanks! I did some reasearch too, and came across this topic : Apple - Support - Discussions - Black/Blank Screen with Boot Camp Win 7. So at this point I'm a little lost, and would be very grateful of any idea that could help making things advance. And still with F8, starting in a low resolution doesn't help. I cannot start the safe mode with F8 because the install has not been completed. So I rebooted, and after the Windows logo I had a black screen again. I let it run for a while, nothing happened. But when I started the Windows 7 install, the following happened : The first steps went fine (Copy of Windows files, Decompression of Windows files, Install of fonctions, Install of updates), but at the last step called End of install, I just had a black screen. Then I downloaded the upgrade, and the upgrade assistant to Windows 7, with no worries. I have legal versions of Windows XP, so I installed it on the iMac with Bootcamp. So it seemed to me I had no choice but to install Win XP or Vista with Bootcamp, and then upgrade it to Windows 7.

Problem : It doesn't gives an install disk, but only a download of an update that allows to "upgrade" Windows XP or Vista to Windows 7. So I thought about installing Windows 7.īeing a student, I took advantage of this offer : Microsoft Student - Windows 7. But I still need Windows for several activities. I bought a few days ago the new 27" iMac as I couldn't resist the huge beautiful screen.

I've had a 20" iMac for 2 years with a Dual Boot Mac OS X / Windows XP, and was very happy with it. After several enlightening hours spent exploring the forum, I didn't find a solution to my problem, so let's start a new topic explaining my situation :
