Q. I am running windows vista on boot camp on my mac. I have airport express as my wireless internet. It's not finding the hardware. I have tried plugging in the ethernet cord and it still won't connect. Help!
A. It sounds like you haven't installed the latest Bootcamp drivers for Windows. Get your MacOS install DVD and put it in then start the Bootcamp driver install. If that won't work you could download the latest Bootcamp drivers from the Internet, put them on a USB drive, to get around your networking issues.

If you ended up doing the DVD-based install, run the Apple Software Update utility to get the latest drivers from the Internet.

can i run vista from my boot camp partition using vmware on my mac?
Q. I boot vista natively from a boot camp partition on my macbook pro. If i install vmware can i boot vista from its existing boot camp partition? I dont want to reactivate windows or reinstall vista or mess up my vista install or anything else ugly and bad. Anybody?
A. No. Essentially you have two choices: run Windows natively off the partition you created with Bootcamp, OR run Windows in a virtual machine (VMWare Fusion or Parallels) on top of the Mac OS. There would be no reason to try to run a virtual machine on the partition, and it wouldn't work anyway, because you'd be trying to run a double Windows OS, rather than Windows itself or Windows in a virtual machine with the Mac OS running underneath.
How can i chose from mac and windows in sistem start up?
Q. I have windows Vista in boot camp in my mac , i was wondering is there a way to chose in system start up with which one to start with ? Without pressing the Alt key i always forget to press it .
A. Keyboard shortcuts during Mac OS X startup
X during startup - Force Mac OS X startup
option - (eventually) brings up a screen with startup volume choices
Option-Command-Shift-Delete - Bypass primary startup volume and seek a different startup volume (such as a CD or external disk)
C - Start up from a CD that has a system folder
N - Attempt to start up from a compatible network server (NetBoot)
T - Start up in FireWire Target Disk mode (very handy for plugging your Mac into another as an external hard drive)
Shift - start up in Safe Boot mode and temporarily disable login items and non-essential kernel extension files (Mac OS X 10.2 and later)
Command-V - Start up in Verbose mode.
Command-S - Start up in Single-User mode
cmd-opt-p-r - Zap PRAM. Hold down until second chime.
cmd-opt-n-v - Clear NV RAM. Similar to reset-all in Open Firmware.
cmd-opt-o-f - Boot into open firmware
hold mouse click - force eject a CD/DVD
