Hi!
I have just received the ATI Radeon 4870 for my Mac Pro (Early 2008)and have upgraded my Leopard to 10.5.7 and works fine on the Mac side. When I reboot and hold the command key I can see my MAC and my BOOT CAMP 2 options as always before. When I click on boot camp I get a white screen with a black frome around it and there is NO hard disk activity and nothing happens no matter how long I leave the computer alone. Before I had no problem booting into my boot camp loaded with vista 64 bit. I have another partition with parallels and that is fine but not this boot camp partition.
I am using ONLY this card in the system. I removed the NVIDIA card.
ALso I tried putting in my Vista 64bit DvD into the drive and rem=booting and see the option when hold the option key to go into MAC,WINDOWS,DVD.... When I select DvD and computer adjust to work in a windows enviroment again the system halts. SO I believe it has nothing whatsoever to to do with drivers inside Vista. It would have to be something that needs upgrading for bootcamp to allow for this video card to work on Bootcamp?
Again I have the latest updates of the OS.
This is a cut an paste from other forum I trying. Since then I have bought a new HD and for a test put it in drive and went to Bootcamp assistant and had it partition and it asked for me to put the vista dvd in drive. I did that and it rebooted and as soon as looked at the DvD it again halted the system. I Put in the NVIDIA and did the same thing and worked fine. Because my system is 2008 my Bootcamp is 2.0. BUT the only way to get 2.1 is after you have windows loaded and can run an update.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for all your time!
