How can I install bootcamp on Tiger 10.4.5

I knew bootcamp was built into Mac OS-X 10.5 or 10.6, but I'm using 10.4 and loose all the software I was downloaded, including the old bootcamp dmg file.
Any one can tell where I can get the bootcamp for 10.4?

Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I have run Windows 98 in a version of Parallels ( version 3 i think) on Tiger 10.4.11.

With the Intel Macs, you can run windows in a virtual machine. Folks are cloning their old windows to a Parallels virtual machine.

Parallels:

& some catalog order places sell Parallels for 9.99 when you buy a mac. You can runs versions of Parallels on Mac OS 10.4.

With VMware Fusion, run the most demanding Mac and Windows applications side-by-side at maximum speeds without rebooting

Don't miss the free VirtualBox.
"VirtualBox is a general-purpose full virtualizer for x86 hardware. " Runs Windows on Mac OS.

Hello kamusis, and a warm welcome to the forums! 🙂

I'm sorry to have to be the one to report this to you, but that was a Beta Trial & expired about Sept. 15, 2007.

Do you have a PPC or IntelMac?

It is effectively true. I believe there are alternatives to Bootcamp. I haven't run any of them but look up information on Parallels, VMware Fusion, or a search for something such as "Running Windows on a Mac".

Thanks for your reply.
I have a IntelMac.
I asked a lot of people, they just told me have to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.5 or later or I can't use bootcamp anymore. Is this true?
