did you do a retail install of osx or did you use something like iPC? |

| Retail osx, using boot 123 method. That way you can update straight from apple website, but I am sure you know that.. Works like a charm.. |

ive been wanting to try a retail install but it seems like a lot more work than installing iPC as im still very new to this and require a lot of assistance when something breaks. i had a hell of a time learning how to install kexts. |

After using OSX for 7 months, 8 hours a day for work, I cannot stand it.
It feels so nice coming home to use either Linux of Windows, especially win7. |

So I went about and tried to find if anybody else had Windows running on their mac mini's. Well I found: guide
The guide was really good, but I ran into a few problems.
trying to repartition the drive was a pain, as OSX wouldn't move some files to shrink the volume. I followed a couple of the work arounds in the guide, but they didn't work. After becoming frustrated I did it the hard way, and formated the entire thing. Here are the steps I took to get boot camp to work:
- made a time machine back up for my files (just good common sense)
- inserted the OSX install disk, and restarted the computer to begin the install procedure
- formated two partitions using the disk utility built into the install disk, one for OSX one for Windows.
- Installed OSX
- Then i proceeded to step 6 in the above guide, and it worked well.
A couple of things didn't work out of the box.
- dual monitors didn't work, solved by doing windows updates which installed the correct Nvidia drivers
- Aero (the nice new UI) wasn't enabled, again solved by installing correct drivers
Now I have a fully functioning Windows 7 environment, on a Mac. w00t
