Win7 install on Imac ?
category: general [glöplog]
Sorry to ask here, but iam sure some of you use OSX and Windows same time, i made my partitions installed rEFIt and whenever i want to install Windows on the partition while booting from CD / DVD i end up with a blackscreen and stupid message like :
M76XT B22504 .... 750m
I googled for it, and saw it could be a GFX card / resolution problem, but so far i found no useful answer !
Anyone figured out the same problem / solved it ?
HW: Imac 24" - 4GB Ram - Core 2 Duo 2.8 ghz - ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro

I've got xp on mine, but why not just install the latest bootcamp off apple's site and install from that?
same problem with bootcamp !
Bootcamp doesn't allow Windows XP on the last MacBook so I choose Parrallels Desktop 6, that works really fine, you can has Windows INTO Mac OSX whitout any performance issues, you just need a good amount of free RAM (I got 4Go so it's ok, with WinXP loaded into OSX I still got 1.5Go RAM free).
Dunno then, but if you figure it out post it here, i might need to install win7 one day (mine is exactly the same spec, and my xp partition got fucked over by a virus some time back so an install is likely at some point).
Yeah, i run xp under vmware. XP's C: drive is even on a different computer's hdd, it still runs pretty well. It does all the stuff I need (ms office) perfectly, but it doesn't fare so well with demos. A native boot is always going to be best for that :(
