When setting up a boot camp system you, Format a USB flash drive as fat32 You also need a windows image (ISO ) file from which the bootcamp assistant gets the windows installation files / data.
Bootcamp assistant walks you through the first parts of the setup / config, Including dividing your harddrive in to the mac os and bootcamp partitions. Once you do this the installation will go through and as part of the windows installation you get asked to setup the partitions on the windows side of the HDD It should by default be a GUID partition which is setup by the boot camp assistant... Select the partition you want to install windows to in the windows setup, You need to check the partition sizes and then once selected you format the drive which will by default be NTFS if windows 10, Then follow the prompts. Going back to the USB Flash drive, If fat32 the bootcamp assistant will write all the installation related data to that including all files required from the windows ISO file. Hope that helps.-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of KliphnShari Miller Sent: Sunday, 3 February 2019 11:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Bootcamp question So, I know with 2015 and later Macs this process is completed for you, all you do is select a couple check boxes, sit back and let it do its thing. But with 2014 and before, you create the installer, and partition your drive. What format should this drive be, and how do you launch the installer once you are in that partition? -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
