Format MacBook Pro without the Mac Side

Asked By Nina Hayes 0 points N/A Posted on - 12/21/2011

I can say that I am a professional in formatting computers. I know everything about doing this process. But I have never tried formatting a boot camped HDD before. My own computer which my school provided me has Windows 7 32-bit. and I don’t like it because of what it is doing to my RAM. So I decided formatting it because it now also running too slow as it is already an old computer. I have been formatting other people’s computer but now it’s an odd feeling that I became helpless with this problem. The computer I am using is MacBook Pro. Can I format my computer without the Mac side because I don’t really use it? Is it possible? Can I also install Windows 7 by doing the same? I mean without the Mac side? Please help me.

Format MacBook Pro without the Mac Side

Probably. but i suspect that when windows came to format the Hard drive would do it in a way that would mean you couldn't install.(or boot)form OSX without  re-erasing the Windows partition.

But if you don't care mac OSX ,If you just want Windows on the Mac………
Well seems strange that you brought a Mac when you wanted Windows but ok,well again,like I said ,It's probably going to be far easier to just do the whole OSX and Windows things. But the partition the Mac side to may be 20GB
And do it that way. I think it will be helpful for you.

Thanks!
