Hello everyone,
I'm in a rut.
I have a Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Which I upgraded from leopard) originally purchased in early 2007 (this could be the problem although I can't be sure...)
Now that I have updated to Snow Leopard, my boot camp is version 3.0.4. I have several questions about how to install Windows 7 and I am completely and utterly confused by this whole process.
Right now, I have bought a Windows 7 license with SP1. I know I need to update my boot camp to 3.2 to install it, but when I try to, it downloads as an .exe file (and therefore doesn't execute, it just opens up in text edit).
So I tried the other way, I tried to install boot camp by simply ignoring the update (and assumed that the update is to be installed after boot camp on my windows side). But when I went to partition, it said something along the lines of that I need to be on a single partition (which I already am) and I can't get passed this stage. I desperately need Windows on my laptop... Any idea if this is possible without having to actually buy a newer version laptop? This is killing me and I've researched everything! Thanks in advance for your help!!
