In addition, not all Mac OS X discs are the same even if they have the same version numbers because drivers for devices installed in the iMac are sometimes different than drivers for devices in a MacBook Pro, for a Mac Mini, vs other Apple products. And without the correct Bootcamp WINDOWS drivers installed in your Windows version, it will not be completely functional. And all efforts to find a way to install Bootcamp Windows drivers without the original UNTOUCHED 10.6 Retail DVD have failed. But that is what is missing from this 10.6 DVD. If the Windows partition is present on the DVD, then the Bootcamp SETUP.EXE file will appear and all is good. Then following the prompts you install your Windows OS.Īfter the Windows OS is installed you are supposed to remove the Windows DVD you are using, then insert this Mac OS 10.6 DVD again while you are within Windows. Then run the Bootcamp Assistant in the Mac OS Utilities folder. To install Windows, you first install the Mac OS. But to install the Windows partition this IMG file is incomplete. So if your goal is the Mac OS only, this is fine. What I suspect happened is that this disc copied the Mac OS partition correctly but did not copy the Windows partition correctly. However, when I went to use the Bootcamp Assistant to install Windows, the Bootcamp Windows drivers were missing and it seems impossible to download them independently. Burned to a DVD-DL and worked like a charm to install the Mac OS.
