Yes, the 'Extras' are all the drivers for the systenm and must be installed for booting from boot camp to work. > There is nothing there that is that interesting in comparison to ms software > though... ? > But can someone help so that this feeling lessens? Re-partition your hard drive to a single partition, re-install OS X from scratch. Install VirtualBox, and install Windows and Linux into virtual machines as you wish. Unless you have some absolute need to boot directly into those OS'es, a VM solution is vastly simpler to manage than a multi-boot system. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
