Hi all,

Long time no post, just logged on this morning and there's been 1799 new posts Anyway...

As you guys know, I'm a PC guy and prefer Windows. However I do have a Mac-mini and decided to upgrade it. It was only the basic model, so I took a chance and decided to crack it open to upgrade what I could. Opening the case was the tricky part as there are no screws on the actually case, it's secured by plastic clips. With 2 putty/filling knifes I opened the case, and then unscrewed 4 screws. After about 15mins of trying to separate the top and the bottom part, I finally realised that I had to detach one of the cables, which was easy to do. Then I was able to ungrade the HDD from the standard 60gb one to a 120gb one. Put back everything to how it was and then closed the case. Re-installed OSX 10.4 then upgraded it to 10.5.

Decided to try out Bootcamp, which worked like a treat. The only problem I had was when I left the partition as how the Mac does it for you and installed Windows onto it - the fix re-install Windows but do a full format.

So now I have a working dual-booting Mac-mini. Next upgrade for my Mac-mini, more ram
