[QUOTE="Cremosso, post: 1334323, member: 226243"] Hey guys. I've had my Mac for 2 years now and I have no problem with it, until now. Since SWTOR comes out ( Windows only game ) I wanted to install Windows 7 on my Mac. Now I know this is possible with Boot Camp but I have problems with that too. When I try to partition the disk it tells me that something went wrong and that I should check Disk Utility for repair. Fair enough right? Well, when I go to disk utility and ask it to check my disk it encounters some problems and tells me it cannot be repaired. After I click on the 'Permission to repair disk' button it gives me another error. Now, I was thinking. I watched a video on youtube on how to completely restore factory settings. It's a 3-step process. 1. Back up 2. Delete 3. Reinstall Mac OS X My question is with the 3rd step. Could I just install windows instead? Even though I don't like letting go of Mac OS X, I really want Windows. If you guys have some tips on how to solve this either way, many thanks. Sorry for the long and probably confusing post.
