How to Use Bootcamp on Mac 10.4

Bootcamp is a program that comes preinstalled in all Mac computers. The program allows a Mac to run Microsoft Windows on the system. This can be helpful for individuals who want to own a Mac but like the Windows operating system better. Mac 10.4 is an Intel processor based computer. This is important to note, because before Mac computers switched to Intel processors, the use of Windows software wasn't possible.

Things You'll Need

• Microsoft Windows Installation Disk

Instructions

1. Open Bootcamp. If you do not know the location of Bootcamp, you can find it by clicking the finder icon on the far left of the dock. Once open, type "Bootcamp" and the program icon appears in a small window. Select this icon and the program opens.

2. Select to create a partition. This divides your hard drive into different sections, allowing your computer to have a "Mac OS" section and a "Windows" section. It doesn't matter how large each section is, as long as it id divided into two parts.
