My experience with boot camp
Dysgraphia
Locked
has been utter shit.
First boot camp didn't allow me to create a partition and requested a full-disk reformat. So I booted up my OS X disc, verified and repaired the disk permissions errors and rebooted. The problem remained.
Ok. No biggie. I booted the OS X disc again and reformatted in the MAC OS X [Journaled] format. I thought it would be smart to create a partition and make boot camp's job easier. Cool. So after 40 minutes of waiting, mac os x finishes installing and viola, brand new spanking os! Cool. I open Boot Camp, and try to use the partition I already made, and it gives me an error. "The volume mustn't be partitioned." GTFO.
So logically, I try to delete the partition via Disc Utility but I CAN'T. The option is greyed out >.> So I REFORMAT AGAIN this time creating a single partition of 999.9211321414 gbs called "MAC OS X." I try boot camp and it tells me to insert a "CD/DVD" or a FAT formatted USB device in order to save the Window Drivers needed for the installation. So I pop in a CD and when I click on "burn" the fucking cd dissappears. Finder can't find it, it doesn't show up on disc utlity and I'm going WDF?!!?!!? So I try a 1 gb USB drive and format it to FAT and pop it in. I click on "save" and the files won't save?
By this time, I'm freaking out and SUPER PISSED OFF. I google up a result and find an Apple article that says it isn't necessary and to skip that step. The MAC OS X install DVD already has the drivers -pre burned. So I partition my HDD and restart. The installation goes smoothly. After the Windows 7 Orb flashes, the screen blacks out. WDF?!?!?!??!?!?!? I reboot on my Mac and check for an answer. Some dude says to delete a file in sys32, I do it, reboot and it works!
So my Windows 7 works, drivers install fine, but the fucking graphics card acts all wild. "RADEON 4850 driver has unexpectively closed and successfully restored." gtfo. It starts snowing pink triangles turned neon green, hot pink, distorts and seems to be some 4 year olds project while meddling in PS using the distortion filters. The graphics card driver is so fucked I can't even reinstall it because it doesn't stop flickering and doing weird shit for more than 3 seconds.
So I boot up MAC OS X and delete the Windows partition via disc utility and I accidently FUCKING DELETE THE MAC OS X PARTITION TOO. fml. So I finally finished installing Mac OS X, fuck Windows. All of that hard work just to play Combat Arms. :mad:

You bought a mac.
Now don't ya do it anymore!
VMware and Parallels are good for virtualization but they aren't going to give me steady ~90 fps. That's even if the game starts up.
And FU guise. OS X rocks, I guess I'll be sticking to CS:S, TF2 and L4D2 for now.
