Hi all
There is a guide I have written up myself over at

There was a write up about this. It pretty much count the times you hit enter
and left and right arrows. But if you forget a step, you will get stuck.
Technically to answer your question, installing Windows is not accessable. You
can do Bootcamp untill you hit the Install Button. After that it is sighted
required. Unless you are brave enough to follow exact directions and try it out.

Question. Is there any way to set up Bootcamp without sighted assistance?
Seems to me I remember seeing something about that.

Yes, that is why Apple have the App called Bootcamp. When you go to Bootcamp
and start the process, it will require a usb drive to download the latest
drivers.
Also, keep in mind, many sighted people use Options to pick which operating
system to boot from, but with Bootcamp you can go to Preferences then to
Startup, and say restart in Bootcamp. Then in the Windows side, in the system
try, there is a bootcamp icon there, click that and click restart in OSX.
Pretty nifty.

Thank you for the advice so far.
I don't know why I said parallels, what I really meant was Boot Camp. I do want
the experiences to be separate.
If I have a windows installation cd and I'm using boot camp, are the drivers
found automatically for me?

Hi. I've had no trouble running windows seven ultimate 32 bit or 64
bit via bootcamp. It'll most likely be the best option. You're going
to have an easier time using a native install as opposed to a virtual
machine. And as for hardware/driver/application conflicts, I've had
none to speak of with my native windows install and that is on five
different macs at this point.
If you can afford the new mac mini server edition, that gives you two
1tb internal hard drives, an Intel I7 quad core processor, and more
ram than you'll probably need with the ability to add more later on if
required.
Just my two cents...

Well at times running windows on a mac is more a nightmare than a day dream
in my experience. But once you work through all the headaches, it can be
done pretty well.
First, you won't be using Parallels. It's not accessible. You'll have to use
VMware fusion if you want a virtual machine or of course you can use Boot
Camp if you don't mind separating your Windows and Mac experience.
The biggest problem with VMware fusion is that most of my sighted friends
using Macs don't use it. It doesn't have nearly the ratings of Parallel and
except for accessibility doesn't seem to be of interest to people I know. So
getting help is sometimes challenging.
If you want your experience to be particularly snappy in windows, you'll
have to have at least three cores to dedicate to the Windows box.
Fortunately the Mac doesn't need so much.
I had mine on a Mac Air but it was pretty sluggish and crashed a lot. I
finally wen to a Macbook Pro with maximum specs and it's running quite well.
But that doesn't address your interest to do this on the cheap.
I think your copy of WindowEyes will run in the virtual machine with
Windows7 but check with them to be sure. NVDA certainly will of course.
be prepared for headaches though. You have to map some keys, resolve
whatever conflicts arise about hardware and applications etc. I've found it
to be pretty challenging at times. Reliability of help from the lists has
been hit and miss too.
Having said that, I'd probably do it again.

Hi all,
I have a day dream/goal to happen before the end of the year. I'd like to
have a Mac to run Windows via parallels. We are on a budget, so buying a
super duper iMac is not doable. I was wondering about a Mac Mini for
running Windows.
We have a TV that can be used as a monitor and we have a Zagg bluetooth
keyboard. We also have a Microsoft connection, so fingers crossed on a
good deal for a Windows CD. BTW, I want the best bang for my buck. :) I
want OSX & Windows to run smoothly, if not snappy. :) No sluggishness.
I'm open to any advice you have for me. Here are a few questions off the
top of my head.
1. Which Windows Oporating system should I go for?
2. Will NVDA run on that system. I'm guessing that my copy of window eyes
is too far out of date. I think I have 7.2
3. I'm going to paste a link of a local Mac store that sells pre-owned
Macs. Will you offer up your knowledge on the best deal? If there is
one. Power of the machine, price, etc.

I currently have a MacBook Air, which I believe has enough oomph to it,
but the SSD isn't very large, 128GB.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this topic.
