Running Microsoft Vista on Macbook - Works Like a Charm!
A little bit of research later - and I decided to take the risk and try to set up Vista on the MacBook. And this is how:
1)The very first thing after setting up my brand new sparkling white MacBook (2GHZ) to install necessary updates and download Boot camp (Bootcamp) . Bootcamp is a partition manager and currently still available for free as it is in BETA. By then I already had some concerns as I had only bought an update to an old 2K license I have which would require a "clean" update anyway - so fingers crossed and let's hope for the best!
2)I should have read the Boot Camp user file first - than I would have know that the Win2K update was a bit too ambitious! Luckily I had not opened the my Vista Home Premium upgrade box an could return it and buy the FULL version.
3)With all the requirements fulfilled I took a deep breath and started the process in MacOSX:
4)Read the "read me" file coming with Bootcamp
5)Print out the User guide (or have it on a second PC)
6)Installing Bootcamp - no problem at all - just double click the file you just downloaded and follow the screens, I decided to go for the 32GB FAT partition and will most likely use the laptop with a small external Hard drive or maybe upgrade to a bigger one later on.
7)During the process you will have to insert a CD where Bootcamp will save the required vista drivers for your MacBook.
8)The MacBook then restarted directly in Windows mode and asks you to insert the operation system you wish to install. In my case the Vista Home Premium CD followed by the serial number. I also allowed the system to check the number directly online. (You can also upgrade from Microsoft XP but will need in this case to install XP first and upgrade with Vista later.)
9)Vista Installation started and about 30 minutes and a few restarts later everything was done!
That certainly was the easiest OS installation I had done so far - and I now have the choice between OSX 10 (Tiger) and Vista - on a beautiful sleek looking laptop - what more could I want?????
I cannot say much about the performance with this setup - but I would not count on the promised 6 hours maximum battery life wink With regards to software running under Vista - Firefox and Skype work just fine as well as of course Office applications. If you are using Zone Laps as a firewall you will be disappointed as I could not get it running just yet.
So far so good - that's all I can report at the moment but I thought I let you know anyway. Simply because if you are going into a computer store and ask the staff - I only got a very weak smile when I wanted to buy the Apple Mac + Vista, alongside some recommendations buying "VistaforMac" (which as far as I know does not exist!) or emulator software.
Anyway - It works!

Is this the right Windows Vista disk to use?
Well my laptop won't start up and it asks for the Windows Vista Instillation disk. Well I lost the disk and tomorrow I'm going to go buy Microsoft Vista Home Premium w/SP1 Updated Version. Would the disk that it brings work? Or would I need to buy the other version?
Thanks.
Okay, I have seen the setup key on the bottom but no one that I know has the disk. So would the disk work and I would have to enter the key?
Can you borrow a disc? You already own a Setup key because it came with the computer - probably written on the bottom. Sharing a key is not legal and generally not possible, but sharing a disc is fine.

How To Recover Lost Admin Passwords Of Windows Xp And Windows Vista
You have forgot admin passwords of your Windows system and you need to log-on immediately but there is no tech support help around you, which can help you in recovering passwords for your windows systems. You made your every effort to recover the password but none is doing its bid. Now you have to do it on your own.
However, this is a tricky problem but tech-support world has solution for your every issue whether its updating of windows vista or to recover windows password. Here, we are guiding you to recover lost admin passwords for Windows Vista and Windows XP.
1. There are many ways that can help you in recovering passwords, as you may try logging in with 'no password administrator login.' To do the same, you can go to the default administrator account which keeps information of administrator credentials. If you haven't changed its password, try signing-in windows XP without password. (Note- this can be done only in Windows XP not in Windows Vista)
2. If last idea didn't work, you can opt for another one. The next idea is all about resetting of passwords. In accordance with Microsoft's Window support knowledge base, you can set a new password by following these steps -
- If you have typed the wrong password, you'll receive a message that says your user name or password is incorrect. When this message appears, click OK.
- Click Reset password, and then follow the instructions.
3. This is another way to recover lost admin password of your Windows XP or Windows Vista. But if you are using an administrator account to reset the password, you would not be able to access any e-mail messages, encrypted files and other details ever.
- Log on to the administrator account that you will be using to reset the lost password.
- Open Local Users and Groups. This can be done by clicking the Start button icon of the Start button, typing lusrmgr.msc into the Search box, and then pressing ENTER. Administrator permission required if you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide verification.
- Double-click Local Users and Groups, and then click Users.
- Right-click the account that you need to reset the password for, and then click Set Password.
- Type and confirm the new password.
(Note - These steps cannot be fulfilled on Windows Vista Starter, Windows Vista Home Basic, and Windows Vista Home Premium.)
