‘What to do with your expiring Boot Camp petition’

Posted by Dennis Sellers Apple ico Oct 4, 2007 at 8:32am

Benjamin Rudolph of Parallels has posted an article on what to do regarding an expiring Boot Camp partition. If you’re not ready to upgrade to Leopard right away and still want to use your Boot Camp partition, he tells you how to make it work with the Parallels Desktop virtualization software.

Earlier this week Apple reminded users that the public beta of Boot Camp, which lets you reboot an Intel Mac to run either Mac OS X or Windows, will expire when Mac OS X 10.5 (“Leopard”) becomes publicly available this month. (No exact release date for Leopard has been announced.)

The license to use Boot Camp Beta 1.2 or earlier expires on Sept. 30, 2007 (2007-09-30). Boot Camp Assistant Beta will no longer open after expiration. To continue using Boot Camp Beta for Microsoft Windows on your Intel-based Mac, you’ll need to update to Boot Camp Beta 1.4, until Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard is available.

Submissions are being taken for the “Macsimum Macworld San Francisco 2008 Coupon Book. Go here for details.
