Boot Camp
Run Microsoft Windows on an Intel-based Mac computer.
Introduction
Boot Camp enables you to install Windows on your Intel-based Mac computer, using a
Microsoft Windows install disc that you provide. Windows is installed on its own
partition. After installation, you can use either Windows or Mac OS X on your Mac
computer.
The Boot Camp Assistant application helps you create the Windows partition and
restart your Mac using your Windows installation disc. Then you can follow these
instructions to install Windows and install software drivers that enable Windows to
work with your Mac hardware.
Important:
Before you use Boot Camp Assistant, print this document. It contains
information you’ll need while installing Windows.
NOTICE:
Make sure to back up all of your data before using Boot Camp, and regularly
back up data while using the software.
