Can i install Windows in a imac?What will happen if i try.Or maybe just move a harddrive with windows installed to a mac.You know some drives are the same as PC drives.

You can only run Windows on a Mac via an emulator like VirtualPC. You can put a Windows hard drive into an iMac and it will ~read~ the files, but it will not execute the files or, more importantly, run the kernel. ----paxcirc.a-

> What will happen if i try You will get a bunch of error messages, if anything at all, as the machine chokes on a load of instructions it doesn't recognise. Executable programs are compiled for a particular type of chip, amongst other things, and a Windows installation will be built for an Intel-compatible machine, which a Mac is not.

He he he would i get a sad mac or maybe a sad bill gates face?Or these codes?btw doese anyone have a pic/image of a sad mac icon?

Try replacing it with a backup.

you will get the folder icon with the question mark on the screen. MAC cannot read hardrive with PC formatted harddrive. It can read pc floppy disk content but not the hard drive.
