Bootcamp Idiot Needs Help


i have spare 640gb hd sitting in mac pro after updating main hd.

thinking of setting bootcamp need basic going.

posted here because games , winuae, never go online.

need real idiots this.

how hd space require ?
how install ?
windows install ?
how boot bootcamp ?
how boot out of boot camp ?
can copy files across bootcamp drive?
need virus software ?

real basic stuff required.

assume using totaly separate drive rather partition better choice ?
 

- depends on how stuff want install. have 55gb partition in mbp because have 3 games installed , bouts it. have 40gb partition on external hdd have more game installed.
bf3 15gb installer, mw3 14gb. need fair amount of space if want install variety , lots of games.
since 640gb drive , complicated increase bootcamp partition once created i'd make 100-200gb partition (of course depends how wan install) on safe side.
- best if install win7, , preferably 64bit version.
- turn on mac pro, press , hold alt key (on keyboard) when grey screen appears (but before apple logo can seen). select dive want boot from.
- if have osx disk chosen main startup disk need restart mac pro windows , automatically boot mac. set disk boo go system preferences-->startup disk , choose mac osx one.
- preferably yes. free anti virus software (like avira) do. don't use , haven't had viruses yet.
