    MP 1,1-5,1 cMP: MacOS + Bootcamp off Single PCIe Card?

    Can anyone confirm if I can run 2 bootable drives (Mac + Windows separately) off a single PCIe card, if I intend to clone the Bootcamp partition before popping it in the adapter? They're plain old SATA SSD drives.

    Just finished installing Windows 10 on a new (to me) cMP 1,1 (firmware updated to 2,1) running 10.11.6.

    Manually configure Parallels 16 BootCamp

    I am trying to move from VMware to Parallels. It cannot see BootCamp on a std hybrid disk with High Sierra on a Mac Pro 5,1. I tried installing with it booted, I normally run Catalina or Big Sur.

    Full screen XP on bootcamp. (Cinema Display)

    Does anyone know how to get XP running in full screen when hooked up to a monitor under boot camp? I have fiddled about in the graphics settings and I can't seem to get it go full screen. The 2007 MacBook is, (I presume), more than capable of running Windows XP, so it shouldn't be a hardware...

    Wacbook

    I have done the unthinkable. I have turned a Macbook into a full-time Windows machine. My late 2008 Macbook 13" unibody is in perfect condition with minimal wear. The max os is El Capitan and Windows 7 in bootcamp. Under Mac OS, all versions, it will freeze randomly. Sometimes once a day...

    VMware Boot Camp install fails under Fusion 11.5, use v10 to create VM config

    I had some disk issues and ended up replacing my BootCamp installation by backing it up with Winclone, installing a new disk and restoring. I just used Disk Utility to create a GUID exFAT disk making sure I had a hybrid MBR, since my Mac Pro 5,1 runs best with BIOS boot. After I got Windows 10...
