    MP 1,1-5,1 Windows on PCIe SATA SSD?

    MP 1,1-5,1 cMP: MacOS + Bootcamp off Single PCIe Card?

    Can anyone confirm if I can run 2 bootable drives (Mac + Windows separately) off a single PCIe card, if I intend to clone the Bootcamp partition before popping it in the adapter? They're plain old SATA SSD drives.

    Full screen XP on bootcamp. (Cinema Display)

    Does anyone know how to get XP running in full screen when hooked up to a monitor under boot camp? I have fiddled about in the graphics settings and I can't seem to get it go full screen. The 2007 MacBook is, (I presume), more than capable of running Windows XP, so it shouldn't be a hardware...

    I have done the unthinkable. I have turned a Macbook into a full-time Windows machine. My late 2008 Macbook 13" unibody is in perfect condition with minimal wear. The max os is El Capitan and Windows 7 in bootcamp. Under Mac OS, all versions, it will freeze randomly. Sometimes once a day...
