I’ve been successful at installing Windows 7 x86 on my Macbook Pro Core 2 Duo (mid 2006) using Apple’s Bootcamp, but shortly after the OS and driver installation the system becomes unstable and crashes often (Windows), which lead me to believe that it wasn’t really supported on these Macs. Some may have had luck getting theirs to work, but I’m not sure why my installs lock-up after they are complete.

I will perhaps try again in the near future.

Thanks for your article!

Hi
I’ve installed the BETA release of Win 7 previously with my old flat mate (windows wiz). I have recently tried to reinstall the OS (build 7600) on my macbook pro after a format of the drive, but keep running into a ‘no bootable device’ error when I hold option and boot from Windows disc! I have an old MBP (early 2006 I believe) which has a 2 GHz Intel Core Duo processor (not Core 2 Duo)!

I can’t understand what I’m doing wrong, considering I got it working before? I am using at the moment an external firewire disc drive to run the disc, this is due to my superdrive running into errors in the past. Can’t see how this would make a difference as it sees the windows disc to boot from. The copy (which I have burned as an iso using toast 10) is called ‘7600.16385.090713-1255_x86fre_client_en-us_Retail_Ultimate-GRMCULFRER_EN_DVD.iso’. Am I using the correct version of Win 7? I don’t understand the meaning of 32bit/64bit x86/x64, I have tried google and wiki to try and get my head round it with no luck. I am guessing it is the 32bit version I need but is that X86 or X64?

Any help would be much appreciated since I need it for work. Not being able to open DRM powerpoint files is making my boss very angry! Also would be nice to play games away from home like I used to last year!

Many Thanks
Red

Ludvig F,

You should read the disc in Windows and not mount it in OS X.

I’ve got 2-finger scroll to work in windows, not the multitouch though.

i mount the ” mac os x install disc 1″ but there’s no folder on it called bootcamp, and if i find it eventually, what driver will i want to isntall? running windows 7 ultimate 32bit on the newest 13″ macbookpro

one morething, i installed this on this laptop and on my iMac, on my iMac however (which is older has worse graphics proccesor and RAM) everything worked great with the video drivers perfectly working to play games like TM and Assassins Creed. Here Im far from it, done the exact same thing?! wtf

And is there anyway i can get the touchpad to work like on the mac?
