Hello.
I need to temporarily change my computers date, so as to install my version of Vista through Boot camp. This is usually done through the BIOS on my PC, however with the lack of BIOS on a mac, how would I change the computer date? If I change the date within OSX is this the central similar to the date within BIOS?

Thank you, I know it's a bit of a weird question.

My version is, shall we say, special.

I need Vista to see my computers date as not being 2007 when i install it.
I know little about the workings of apple computers so my question is, If I were to change the date within MacOSX, will that be the official date on the computer, that vista will detect when I install it?

Thank you.

I don't think the Time Crack will work without a BIOS. You'll have to buy I'm afraid :-(
