Hi Alex,
Can't you just install windows in a VM without worrying about bootcamp at all? That's how I did it and windows works beautifully here on my Macbook air with 8gb ram. That's the 2013 air. I'm running Mavericks as well no issues. Cheers.

I can resize that partition, but I've heard horror stories about resized Bootcamp partitions going away or getting corrupted under Mavericks. I'll have to do something, though, because that install has all my programs and settings, so I want to keep it as my Windows setup, but my Mac partition has only 14gb free. All that to say, if I cloned the Windows install into a new vm instead of running it directly, I'd need more room on the Mac side and to lessen the size on the Windows side. I'll look into all this. Thanks. On Nov 29, 2013, at 11:22 PM, Kliphton ------- <kliphton....@outlook.com> wrote: Well, to start with, if you have 8 gigs of ram, you need at least 3 possibley 4 gigs for windows. Don't worry, its not going to affect the performance of your mac. Secondly, running your vm through bootcamp, then coming in to fusion may be your other issue. I have heard a lot of people complain that running there vm through bootcamp, then importing it in to fusion has been very problematic at best. Especially those who use jaws, there activation gets stripped out, and they are stuck in 40 minute mode. Since fs isn't going to just hand out authorizations because your trying to run windows on a mac. If you have any more issues, my contact info is below.

When I changed the assigned ram to 1gb and booted it, I never even got speech, though that may have been a windows problem of some kind. However, my Mini is still almost unusable when a vm starts, at least this vm (which is running off my Bootcamp partition). Even trying to go to the Window Menu to switch focus to the active VM is an exercise in patience and anger management. I can switch to other apps, but Voiceover's speech is stuttery and broken, and apps take a long time to come up (not launch, just come to the foreground). I have a total of 8gb of ram, and Windows only has 1, plus a single core. My macbook Air, with half the ram, performs dramatically better. I am starting to think it is a mavericks issue, since the entire system has been slow to launch apps and perform other tasks ever since the installation. I don't know, though.
