How to Enable Mac OS X Boot Camp

NOTE: When using Boot Camp, the Windows operating system cannot be encrypted.

Boot Camp is a utility included with Mac OS X that assists you in installing Windows on Mac computers in a dual-boot

configuration. Boot Camp is supported with the following Windows operating systems:

• Windows 7 and 7 Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate (64-bit)

• Windows 8 and 8 Pro (64-bit)

To use Boot Camp on encrypted Mac computers, you must configure your client installation to not use firmware password

protection. See the

Command Line Installation/Upgrade

for instructions.

The following Boot Camp configurations are supported:

• Mac OS X v10.7 Lion with Boot Camp v3.1 or later

• Mac OS X v10.8 Mountain Lion with Boot Camp v3.1 or later

•

Mac OS X v10.9 Mavericks with Boot Camp v5 or later

If Windows XP is installed on an NTFS partition, the Windows XP boot configuration must be manually updated before

the client encrypts or decrypts the Mac OS X system volume.

NOTE: You must ensure Windows is installed before deploying client policies enabling encryption. After the client begins the encryption

process, it disallows disk partition operations required by Boot Camp.

Use the following steps to update the Windows XP boot configuration on NTFS partitions. Failure to do so will cause the

Windows boot process to fail until this update is performed:

Restart the computer to Windows XP.

Open C:\boot.ini.

Change the partition identifiers from 3 to 4. See example below:

[boot loader]



timeout=30



default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(4)\WINDOWS



[operating systems]



multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(4)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

Restart the computer to Mac OS X.

Begin the encryption process.

NOTE: Restore the Windows boot configuration to its original values before completing a decryption operation.
