I want to install to my macbook windows but when i'm trying to do it, it says that to install windows you need 10 gb available memory and i've already have 14 gb available. How can i correct this
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)
That's not what the error message says, post it entirely and exactly please.
it says: the minimum volume of free space on a disk has to be 10 GB
Copy and paste the whole error message as Csound1 has asked you to do.
The loading disk doesn't take enough place to be broken into sections. the minimum volume of free space on a disk has to be 10 GB
That's not the message either but at least it is recognizable.
You do not have enough contiguous space for Boot Camp. Follow the directions that are a part of the message. If you are installing XP 10GB is the minimum, it won't run very well. 32GB is sensible.
OSX needs free space and you will use it all up. You do not have enough space for Windows, it is as simple as that.
it means that i need to exempt the place up to 32?? and it will work? i will be able to install??
You need more space and it needs to be contiguous, just deleting files will not work.
Step 1: Move or delete files until you have at least 32GB free (for XP) or 75GB free (for Win 7)
Step 2: Clone the internal drive, erase the internal drive and restore the clone.
Step 3: Using Boot Camp Assistant install Windows, if you have Lion or Mountain Lion you can only install Windows 7 (for which you should have at least 60GB + 15GB for OSX free space, 75GB is a good number.
thank you so much, i will try
Please print and carefully read the Boot Camp Instructions, this is important.
But more important is that you must make a backup of your Mac BEFORE you attempt to install Windows, take this seriously!
(The clone will be your backup if you follow my suggestion)
and if i have disk with it?
What do you mean?
now it says: the disk can't be broken into sections as it isn't possible to move some objects
Backup your disk, erase your disk, restore your disk (just as the message says)
how make a backup of it?
Get an external drive, clone your internal to it.
I have a problem!
