Help still can't find bootcamp....

[Xtremekillr]

I have a Sr macbook. I understand the you need first installation disc of mac osx 10. Well still can't find it!! I tried searching /Volumes/Mac OS X Install Disc 1/System/Installation/Packages but no luck. Any advice?! this is really frustrating. Will someone give this noob a step by step walkthrough?

Thanks,

I got the .pdf installation instruction ready and windows xp... I need to find boot camp assistant grr..

wat installation disk do you have??? it would only be on the leopard disks, if ur referring to the leopard disks then its probably hidden somwhere.

Is it not on the Mac OSX disc that comes with the macbook?!?!

 

[DoFoT9]

what version of OSX are you running??? bootcamp ONLY comes with the new 10.5 (aka leopard), if your disks are 10.4 (aka tiger) then bootcamp wont be found.

the beta version could be downloaded from apples website, i am unsure if it is still on there tho because the full version has been released.

EDIT: nope the beta version of bootcamp has been deleted from apples website. you will need the leopard disks.

ohhh ok i see.
it would most likely be hidden then on the disk.
download TinkerTool, this will allow you to see all the disks contents, it would be findable in there

[Xtremekillr]

well I just ran bootcamp and i tried to partition disc, but didn't work.. told me to repair my disc with disc utility. I'm doing that right now on my mac hd it is taking forever! Do you think my macbook is faulty or anything?

 

[DoFoT9]

naah it wouldnt be faulty.

how much free space do you have on your HD??? it might be a bit full!!!

Well I tried to install it. I think my windows disc is bad. I booted windows and hit the 3rd drive and it said restarting computer after installing a whole bunch of windows files. than it keeps doing that over and over again after each restart!! Booting the same stuff making me overwrite the 3rd drive. What am I doing wrong or is my windows disc bad.

I went through this last night and was confused for a bit...

It's Boot Camp, not Bootcamp. Should be in the Applications/Utilities directory.

Spotlight coundn't find "bootcamp", but "boot camp" was right there!
