4/15/2024 0 Comments Mac os boot camp 40gb needed![]() ![]() However I need an extra OSX Journaled Partition for my Music and stuff, because I do not want this on my OSX partition. I want boot camp, because I need windows for games. Now Boot camp is telling me, Boot Camp cannot install because your primary drive is partitioned. I have previously successfully installed boot camp before but recently have reformated and repartitioned my drive into multiple sections, One for the OSX and one for Multimedia, Movies Music and pics. Unfortunately I get used to that because I was already using CS2 suite on my windows cause it was very slow with Rosseta emulation, then it was ZB 2 and CS 2.I am not sure if there is anything I can do, but here is my situation.īoot Camp will not install if my main hard drive which contains OSX has more than 1 partition on it. I recommend not to use FAT32 file system and don’t waste any drive only for windows, just use MacDrive, and use your nice HFS+ Of course I would prefer to work in OSX. I used a 750Gb drive HFS+(OSX native format) fully acessible by both sides for my project files. I made the windows partition 40GB NTFS(windows native format), using as system Disk with basically my programs and the Page File(the size depends on your memory) and had the other partition fully accessible through MacDrive 7. There is nothing that I haven’t tested (all kind of exports)Choose whatever size you think, anyway you 'll need more space in the future, if you are working seriously, and you have plenty of space in your Macpro to plug drives. I use this configuration for years and I don’t have problems, Mac drive works perfectly. One day soon, I’m going to have a 500 gig hard drive for Windows, like the one I have for Leopard now…just for the hell of it… As mine runs perfectly, it really diversifies your machine. ![]() It’s still nice having access to both OS’s. Having Max on the Windows side will probably eliminate any problems there. I don’t export maps to other 3d applications, which is the only area which I’ve heard of any problems, so I still recommend more investigating bootcamp in a 3d workflow. Take note that I only use ZBrush to export psd renders, which I then open from the Mac side and composite in photoshop as digital paintings. In fact, during long weeks of ZBrushing, I sometimes wouldn’t even boot up in Leopard and it felt like I just had a nice PC. Everything runs smoothly with 100% access to RAM, processors, and designated hard drive. For full blown years of work, it might be a worthy investment to add another hard drive.Īs far as performance, I’ve only experienced problems when pushing my 2 gigs of RAM too far, which has nothing to do with bootcamp, only my greediness. I only dedicated 30 gigs as a temporary solution. If most of your apps used will be on Mac OS, you could get by with a smaller hard drive. You don’t have to split one hard drive to use boot camp. What is be a better option, although costly, is adding another hard drive into your Mac Pro, and using it as the Windows hard drive. You can undo the partition, which is probably a pain, and then redo it (losing all info on the hard drive, which you’ll have to back up). The thing about partitioning for serious work, like what you might experience using 3dsMax for education, is that you need to consider how much hard drive you will need. Your best choice today is to wait until tomorrow or the end of the week, when you will know the status of ZBrush 3.5 for the Mac. Back up your computer completely before ever messing with it. You can dedicate the partition back to the OSX hard drive. You just have to have more for the other needs of your computer, at least half a gig more than you let ZB use. If you have 32 bit Windows, you can use up to 2 gigs, 64 bit, you can use up to 4 gigs. I have a 32 bit version and 2 gigs, I can use up to 1.5 gigs in ZB (have to leave some for the OS and other apps). It CAN use full memory if you have the right Windows version. I’ve had no problems with viruses, but sometimes disconnect the internet during use for fear of being infested. However, I have mine running through bootcamp with 30 gigs of hard drive dedicated to the Windows partition. I still think it would be foolish to mess with your hard drive or invest in an emulation package this close to some official news that others, and myself, have waited a year and a half for. For all anyone knows, the damn thing could be released in less than 24 hours, although it’s not speculated to be. Seriously, wait until tomorrow! The Siggraph exhibition starts tomorrow and any Mac release news that Pixologic has officially SHOULD be announced. ![]()
