Deleted Bootcamp :(

i accidently bootcamp folder...
and i really have nothing to do on mac, i dont hve reinstalling cd either
and soultions?

 

I'm sorry but I don't know much about Mac's. You could try using a data recovery utilitiy. I have searched in Google for such a program and there are quite a few options but unfortunately are quite costly. Apparantly on the latest OS (Leopard) there is a program built in called Time Machine which is a data backup and recovery utility.

 

What do you mean by Boot Camp folder? You mean you repartitioned the HD? Or do you mean you removed the Boot Camp application?
Please consider writing in complete sentences and using correct grammar in your future posts.

 

Give the guy a break LOL! His english might not be that good because he is from a different country. I think he ment what he said, he has deleted the Bootcamp folder by mistake.

 

BootCamp is not a folder. It's an application that partitions your hard drive so you can install Windows. Either you deleted the application or the Windows partition.

You should take your mac to your nearest Apple store or Mac repair shop and see if they can either recover it or get you a new disc...

If you can't find one, then maybe you should try a forum that is in your first language? It'll make troubleshooting A LOT easier.

Hope that helps

 

I would be extremely grateful if you could kindly research the topic before attempting to dispute the comments of another member or moderator.

 

sorry about that, i meant to say that i deleted the boot camp application.and i can't just download the bootcamp application off from the internet?

 

You need the restore disks that came with your computer. Try calling Apple and see if they can send you new restore disks.

 

Do you use Tiger or Leopard?

You can find versions 1.x for download on the 'net, but I'm not too sure about 2.x.

I'm still using 1.1 and doing pretty well (running Tiger here)

 

I would be extremely grateful if you could kindly drop the attitude.

 

yea, i'm using the tiger..
so 1.x bootcamp can be downloaded on apple site?

 

Hum, I don't think Apple provides download anymore (after all, they didn't officially support 1.x Beta).

Just search "boot camp 1.4 download" and you should find plenty of links on the web (~350MB).

 

boot camp isn't available for tiger. leopard only these days.

 

Thank you!

 

You're lucky that I like you

 

LOL! I love this place!

Anyway, I need to learn more about MAC's. Is there any Virtual PC type application I can run on XP or Vista that will emulate MAC OS X or will I have to purchase a MAC?

Thanks in advance

 

You are not allowed to run OS X on any machine that isn't a Mac. So I guess the only way you will be able to use OS X is to either purchase a Mac, or to remotely access a Mac someone else owns.

 

Thanks for the swift response. Gonna buy one I think.

Any reccomendations for a medium spec MAC laptop?

Cheers

 

The current recommendation on Macbooks is to wait, since it is highly likely there will be a revamp of the entire Macbook range in October. If you are looking for something cheap and unnoticeable just to experiment with OS X, a Mac Mini would be a good choice.

 

Cheers Budding!!
