You plug the drive in, hold down Option as the computer boots, and select the drive you want to boot from. You don't even need a hard drive in your macbook.
#CARBON COPY CLONER OS X 10.3.9 INSTALL#
you can install OS X to a USB drive and boot from it and run it as your primary OS. I am sure someone else can speak to this much better than I can.ġ. I don't know of anyone that is sort of running the primary OS in it with the host OSX as just a virtualhost pretty much. So you can run your Outlook application nicely in coherence mode and it integrates into OSX somewhat. It's good for 'Well I really like Outlook for Windows but I prefer OSX'. However, in my opinion, would I really want to work on it as my PRIMARY workstation, hell no. So, if you are considering getting a Windows ultrabook instead, you're not likely to gain a ton in battery life, it's already decent.Īs far as Parallels goes I haven't used it really extensively on a day to day basis but it's pretty decent if you have the RAM to allocate to it and it can actually run some 3D applications which is impressive for a VM. It's just compared to OSX that it's terrible. Compared to other Windows laptops, a MBA 13" with Windows on it does OK in terms of batter life. The point he's making is that OSX's power management, in general, is MUCH better than Windows with the same hardware. "That's still very highit's better than the Asus Zenbook Prime UX31A's 6 hours and the Samsung Series 7 Ultra's 5 hoursbut it's only half the astronomical 14 hours + that the 13" MacBook Air is capable of. Right, BUT, you need to really pay attention to this key line from the article linked: I'd love it if WHS2011 could just backup the ENTIRE SSD and restore OSX and Windows but that's probably wishful thinking. I can't find documentation of anyone doing this so I'd love to actually test/know that it will work.
Then I will simulate a drive failure by wiping the ENTIRE SSD, do an internet based recovery (or use a Mavericks USB stick that I build), repartition the drive in the same way with bootcamp and then attempt to restore the WHS2011 backup to the Windows partition. Once I've done this I will try to get WHS 2011 to backup the 8.1 installation. (30GB?) then use bootcamp and install 8.1 to take the other 200GB or so. Partition OSX to use as small of a portion of the drive as is reasonable, with space for updates etc. I will use this article to setup the bootable OSX USB3.0 drive: Ģ.

If possible (if there are any) I may try to install a FW update while running off of the USB3.0 installation to see if it works.

Create a bootable OSX installation on a 16GB-32GB USB 3.0 drive, wipe the entire MBP SSD and use Bootcamp FROM the bootable OSX installation to install Windows 8.1 on the entire Mac drive. I am definitely planning to try a few setups before I really get any data onto the laptop to see if I can figure out what works/what doesn't. If I CAN'T completely remove the OSX partition (or if there is no other way to install FW updates), what is the absolute smallest that I can make the OSX partition for Mavericks?
#CARBON COPY CLONER OS X 10.3.9 PRO#
So, my primary question is, for the new Retina 13" Macbook Pro I purchased, is it possible to ONLY install Windows on the drive and completely wipe out the OSX partition and only boot directly into Windows?Īlso, if I do this, is it still in any way possible to apply Mac firmware updates from within Windows without an OSX partition? Can you download them and run them from some kind of preboot environment or something? I am just trying to come up with any 'consequences' that I can think of about completely wiping away the OSX partition. I prefer Windows the OS and love Mac hardware (unparalleled in terms aesthetics in my opinion, I love Windows on my current Macbook Air) of so I'm already set in my plan. Also, to start with, I know, I know, Windows on Mac, why don't you run OSX instead, why buy a Mac if you want to run Windows etc.
First, let me thank everyone in advance for any replies it is much appreciated.
