Mac OS X includes a utility called Boot Camp which allows you to dual-boot your machine between OS X and Windows. Necessary tools include a Snow Leopard installation DVD, and of course the Windows 7 installation DVD. The version of Windows 7 I wanted to install is the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Ultimate, and I’m currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.2. My machine here is an early 2009 24” iMac 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo (model “iMac9,1”), with 4Gb of DDR3 RAM, a 1Tb internal drive and an Nvidia GeForce GT 130 (512Mb) graphics card. ![]() ![]() ![]() This post describes how to resolve both an issue with Boot Camp Assistant (the “files cannot be moved” error), and also a problem where the Boot Camp drivers installer on Windows can refuse to install 64-bit drivers due to an “unrecognized system”.
