I'm not so nonchalant and forgiving about it. I can do the Apple part without
sighted assistance; I can install on my Mac and install on linux on my own. But
i can't install Windows by myself?! I do plan to bootcamp Windows 7 eventually
but right now I am in the process of installing it in vmware fusion, soley
because Windows is the one system I use that doesn't allow me to install it on
my own. i would prefer my choices to be really my choices, not ones forced on
me by the inaccessibility of a system! But I am thankful that at least vmware
does allow me to install Windows independently! At least it allowed me to
install xp independently and I'm about to find out about Windows 7. And despite
my unhappiness with the inaccessibility of the install, I really am looking
forward to learning Windows 7 now that I've decided to finally leave xp behind!

Ray, Yes, I had sighted assistance.
I found a fairly tech competent person who had a few hours to kill and it
took us 2 hours from start to finish.
That's from the time I started bootcamp assistant, through the actual
windows7 install, the install of apple support drivers, and finally installing
jaws12. There's just no way around the need for sighted assistance in my
opinion, but hey, sighted people aren't so bad ;-)

Did you have sighted assistance while going through the boot camp thingie
yesterday? My guess is that you got to a point in the windows installation
where it came time to do the actual install of windows and you needed sighted
help because no windows audio drivers were loaded yet. Is that pretty much
right?
I ain't done it myself, but, many have. I believe it to be completely
possible because of the way it works. Voice Over won't guide you through the
process; but, still, it can be done. My advice, however, is not to listen to
me but to others who have actually done it.

Harry, I'm pretty sure you'll have to actually "install" windows during
the bootcamp process. Having it as a VMWare machine won't work for you
there. I went through the whole bootcamp thing yesterday and it worked great.
Now, I'm thinking of going the VMWare route. Can you tell me if it is easy to
install windows via VMWare without sighted assistance?
Is VO up and talking through the process?

Hi, that's good to know that it doesn't cost money. I don't regret
using VMware Fusion, since times call for having both operating systems running
at the same time, but it's nice to know that this alternative option is also
available. if I have Windows already installed via a virtual machine, would I
have to reinstall it, do you know?
Thanks.

hi harry,
booth camp does not cost money, except for what you pay for a legal
copy of windows.
I found it to be definitely worth it.
Though i try to do it all on the mac, obviously, it is still good to
have windows. it can come in handy.

Harry,
I'm installing windows7 via bootcamp tommorrow morning. It looks
quite straightforward, but sighted assistance is required for the windows
install portion of the process as there is no screen reader support at that
point.
You can read the installation and setup pdf for bootcamp to get
familiar with the steps involved. And, for the windows7 install, I found a
detailed, step-by-step guide for installing windows7 on Black Viper's website
www.blackviper.com
search his site for windows 7 install.
I'll no doubt be crowing about my new windows7 machine, or asking
frantically for help and advice, depending whether it goes well or badly
tomorrow.
P.S. if you want a microsoft word document of the bootcamp setup
and installation guide I can send it to you via email - contact me offlist for
that doc.

Subject: Boot Camp and 10.8.2
Hi all,
I was wondering how hard it is to install Boot Camp, if it costs
money, and if it is worth it if i already ache VMware Fusion. Waht are the
advantages/disadvantages? would it make the Windows side of my computer
faster/more efficient to be running without the Mac portion running at the same
time, for example? I know others ahve provided instructions, so I could search
for those threads, if instructions were provided about the best way to search
the mail archives, as I don't know.
Also, my other question has to do with 10.8.2. I wondered, since I
know some of you ahve had issues with Voiceover in 10.8.2, owudl yo urecommend
I upgrade from 10.8.1? I am really wanting to improve my Spanish skills, but
my Voiceover defaults to English each time I restart to English even though my
system in in Spanish. I would install 10.8.2 in Spanish to avoid this, but
don't want to make VoiceOver unreliable if 10.8.2 is still pretty buggy.
Thanks for any help, and I hope this is all clear, being unrelated
as both portiosn of the post are.
Regards,
harry
