[QUOTE="johnodd4, post: 1619589, member: 331386"] Ok i can help you with this easy: your 2006 macbook was never designed to run bootcamp in fact apple even warns people that all though you can run it due to the fact it was unstable and unreliable on the 2006 iMac and macbook it was never supported from apple and they released a warning saying its as is it will work or won't work. I do take it you have a core 2 duo or the core duo macbook correct i can help you with a alternative you might not like it but you can run linux mint on the 2006 macbook in question you need to make sure of three key things. 1. you have 4 gig's of ram linux requires 2 gig's just to install. 2. make sure you have refit removed in order to do this you have to however reformat the entire drive 3.please understand wifi may not function this is a problem in linux Tutorial: How to install linux on mac. 1. get your latest installer of linux Macbook 2006 and higher linux mint ubuntu yellow dog these are the only ones that have mac support and good support at that. 2. you will need a mac os x installer dvd disk snow leopard leopard doesn't matter How to install: burn your linux disk insert your mac os x dvd disk boot from the disk by selecting apple menu system pref and startup disk select the mac os x dvd icon boot the installer for mac os x go into utilites disk utility once the installer boots from the upper menu on your screen select your hard drive select format as ms-dos fat once done restart the mac hold the eject button on your keyboard and eject the mac os x dvd disk. still following ok here we go insert the linux disk press and hold option select the linux disk and wait for it to boot install as usual the macbook will never boot mac os x again linux only will boot if you want to go back reverse the processes run mac os x dvd format drive as mac os x extended and install mac os x [/QUOTE]
