MACBOOK AIR: Will Boot Camp compatible with it?

[Moon Walker]

I recently bought a Apple MACBOOK AIR 11’’ ultra portable laptop, which compatible with the MAC OSX. And also planning for the parallel installation of the operating system either with the windows 7 or the Apple Leopard. I heard that there are some requirements for the installation in the Apple machines. The boot camp is useful for the dual boot, and I have no idea about the application. Is the Boot Camp application will be worked with the MACBOOK AIR, is there any requirement for the application? And after that can I upgrade the file if it needed later? Any idea on this issue?

The Boot Camp is compatible with the Apple operating system like the MAC OSX, LEOPARD, and SNOWLEOPARD as well as with the windows operating systems like the Windows XP, Vista, and 7also with the Linux. It use when any user wish to make the dual boot with the operating systems that are supported by the application in their machine. It gives the proper way to make the partition on the drive for the OS installation; it includes the feature of resize the drive where you install the operating system. You can easily install the driver with the desired OS into the drive for the hardware by the disk of the OS. After apply the dual boot into the machine you can access it from the applet of the windows control panel to select which operating system you want to boot.

To install the boot camp application into your Apple MAC there should be some system requirements are has to fulfill by the machine. The machine should be Intel based machine with the latest firmware, the earlier MAC machines are required the EFI firmware. The operating system which is installed in the system is either the any version of the MACOSX or the any version of the Leopard. All the hardware drivers are installed properly. For the operating system installation there should be 10GB free hard disk space, for the windows 7 operating system 16 GB free space is recommended. The following operating systems with the full version-1) Windows XP home edition or higher than that that, 2) Windows Vista home basic, home premium, business for both the 32 and the 64 bit, 3) Windows 7 home premium, Professional, enterprise or the ultimate version (both 32 and the 64-bit).

The boot camp is very easy to use after the dual boot into any machine. Simply by just holding down the option key the boot start up manager will appear, which will allow the user to choose which operating system will boot from the startup. If you are using the non-Apple keyboard then the “alt”, key is useful to do the same operation. From the Apple remote you can also per the same operation by pressing down the MENU button at the startup. While you are using the MAC OSX or the windows XP operating system, the boot camp application will displays the open source. The functionality of the application based on the BIOS through the EFI and the partition information of the drive. It can synchronize the machine between GPT and the MBR.

The requirements to install the boot Camp into the system, I am using this win my MAC laptop which dual boots with the windows 7 operating system. It is very easy to install, the smooth to use two operating system in a machine. If the machine is the MAC computer then there should be a USB keyboard and the mouse, also if you are using the Trackpad.
The Mac OSX version is should be 10.5 or higher than that version. All with the updated firmware’s. The OS install disk is necessary during the installation of the Boot camp. You should have to take the single disk of the windows latest version installation disk

The partition of the is can be done with the following procedures. The boot camp application is helps to create the partition on the drive with the windows interlink disk. To your start up partition of the drive the dynamic assistant is helpful to make the operation. You can make the partition of the drive without remove the existing operating system. But be remember that while you make the partition of the drive you have the free space that it required for the installation. You can also refer the windows installer documentation to determine the requirement best partition size of the drive. Where the windows vista requires the maximum space of the hard disk. While for the other it generally required 32GB, if it not fulfill the space then it cannot be formatted as the FAT volume. The Boot camp assistant creates the new windows for the windows partition. You can also use the boot camp assistance to remove the partition that you did.
