Hello

I got the mac pro desktop its very nice however i have a western digital raptor on my desk 150GB 10.000 rpm I wonder can I hook it up to my mac pro and if so can anyone give the guide of hooking it up if not i have vista ultimate how do i install it on a mac pro?
 
ok i installed my windows vista 64 bit harddrive how do i switch it my other hard drive?.

thx :D
 
Help i am stuck on my vista harddrive. In my mac harddrive i selected my vista harddrive so it restarts there now I am stuck on my vista harddrive how do i restart back to my mac harddrive because now whenever i turn on the pc my vista harddrive loads i tried changing slots. Is there option where i select in vista which hard drive loads? cause when it boots up the dos does load cause its a mac :/
 
Hold down the option key when you turn the computer on. That'll bring up the boot select screen.

Also, punctuation is key.
 
thanks is the option thing the bootcamp also my mac prois bad running windows 64bit on my harddrive and its running so bad cant even explain. Do macs run windows 64bit or only 32bit?

They are Intel Xeons... they should run 64-bit just fine. Did you do a fresh OS install or are you using an existing Windows install?
 
Alternatively, you can select start-up disk in the windows control panel and tell your Mac Pro to fire up from an OSX disk.
 
I give up windows vista i tried 32 and 64bit it doesnt allow me install the drivers when i use the bootcamp drivers for nvidia it says i am not running windows when i try installing the nvidia 7 series drivers for windows 32 bit it also says i am not running windows vista 32bit :'(
 
Seriously, punctuation would help.

The only advice that I can give is that if you aren't following the bootcamp instructions on apple's website to the letter then you should probably do that. Many people use vista on macs just fine.

Why you make fun of me? I mean my daughter is stuck in the harddrive and vista cant run because my apple is in the case? thats why vista cant run because of the drivers that happened when i booted it
 
My god! your daughter is stuck IN the hard drive?? Wow how did she manage that? And don't put apples in your case it's not good for components once it start to rot. And I am not quite sure what to say about "drivers thats happened" when you booted...

As for the other post you made, less drugs more punctuation...
