i just took my partition off and my laptop still tries to boot into windows which isnt there so i have to hold down option to get into mac. how do i fix this?
I will go about that yes. Curious, you've referenced reinstalling on an internal vs. internal drive. I have not installed anything on an external drive yet and didn't plan to however you did say that to install media edition I would need an external cd drive, so I went out and bought one. I assume I can still use this to reinstall the whole thing as you suggested, yes? thx
@prtyg75 Sorry, I don't remember who I give what advice, I have so many who ask all kinds of things.
Anyway, yes, you can use the external drive to install everything again. If a DLL is broken, that could be a regular Windows error, XP is full of them.
I need help. I installed windows XP onto a 3rd party thing and I installed everything but then the problem is that everytime i try to install something like adobe flash player, it'll say something.dll is missing or something like that. So could u tell me how to fix it? thanks
@The89Lunder I thought I was doing well. I went to disk utility and when I click on the partitioned drive where I laid Win XP disc 1 and is now called untitled after clicking on that drive in disk util and clicking erase. I did the most basic erase by clicking only 'erase,' vs erase free space or 'security options.' Nothing else happens. I know that i can only proceed to boot camp when I am able to get the entire drive to be a single Mac OS Extended (journaled) volume. (Continued nxt pst)
@The89Lunder (continued) Part of me thinks maybe I should click the 'restore' tab in disk util, then take the Mac OS the source and drag to the destination. A little confused. Any ideas? thx very much
thanks alot for your response. Media Edition is exactly what I have. The others versions, don't have two discs? What's media edition anyway? I am planning to buy W7, which version do you recommend and does it have 2 discs as well? Thanks again.
@prtyg75 Media Center has a program called Windows Media Center wich can be used to watch and record TV, if the computers has a TV-tuner. Windows 7 has this too. There is more content in Media Center edition of XP, thats why its on 2 discs. Windows 7 is on a DVD, so there only is one. The version you need is properly Home Premium, most people needs that.
Your video is good but here's my problem. My windows xp edition uses two discs. While I get prompted to install the second disc, there is no way during the install in windows to eject the disc. I cannot get there through the normal way, start, my computer, click on the drive and eject. That option is not available to me during this juncture of the install so I cannot complete the install properly. How do you install disc 2 during the install? Please let me know. Thx, Dave
@prtyg75 Since its 2 discs. My guess is that is is Windows XP Media Center Edition. Anyway, the problem is the same. I have tried it. The only solution is an external CD drive. With an eject button on it.

@JuJuStarBerry996 Well, there is many gamepads out there. And no real experience with gamepads. But to google the issue. If you are running Windows on the Mac, then look away from the fact that it is a Mac when you search.
I don't use a gamepad myself, so I don't really know much about this.
I've downloaded XP on my Mac Pro, but can't use the mouse. I've downloaded the drivers that I want to use, but unsure as to how to get them either into Boot Camp or XP. I read that I have to use the Mac OS disc, but unsure as to when - not being able to use the mouse yet, I haven't gotten to the point that you did in the video.
problem. i am at the point of installing the drivers or whatever after installing xp and i cannot do a thing and my window xp wont recognize my apple cd/ i cannot install the other discs that come with the xp which im assuming are the windows drivers..
@GT0wned1 Try to boot from OS X, and download the drivers from Apples website. Click support and Downloads. Somewhere you should be able to find Bootcamp.
If you know how, try to show hidden files in Mac OS X, and copy the driver package from the CD under Mac OS X to a USB drive.
another question can I upgrade to Leopard or similar so it will install winxp from disc that I have, I currently cant get online with optus wireless broadband on powerbook G4 so i'll have to use my other laptop Acer with win7. ~_~
@scout5602 PowerPC Mac can't run windows at all. And all the G series mac are PowerPC. So even if you give it Leopard, it can't run Windows. You will need a Mac with an Intel processor
@scout5602 Sorry, only Intel computers, running Leopard or newer. Even Tiger on Intel is ruled out, since the bootcamp released for Tiger only was a beta, wich Apple removed when Leopard was released.
hey i have a question.. mmm i have to have the windows cd or can i download it from any page like taringa?? cuz if it has to be the cd i would need the codes right? and if i can download it where can i do it? thanx
um for my mac it says that i need 10 gb of space free to boot but i go into my folder and it says i have 12gb is there a problem or something i hve to do?
@Duherro1 Well the issue is quite simple. But the solution almost impossible. When you have free space, not all of it is at the end of the hard drive. And if the Mac can't move the files. You can't make the partition for Windows. And you might get an error like that. The solution is to reinstall you Mac, or moving all your stuff to an external hard drive, and then install Windows. And the moving stuff part might not even work. I can't guarantee it anyway. Sorry :-(
@Labzo441 I couldn't agree more. But some people still need it. And heres how. Tim Cook (Current CEO of Apple), said a few years ago "This is one of the things that removes the fear from switching to Mac, just like an insurance policy does" And that he thinks is one of the key reasons why 50% of the Macs Apple sell is to people who are new to the Mac!
@The89Lunder Yeah, I guess it's cool you can have the choice. i love my new mac so there's no need to revisit xp lol. i'm such a newb on it though. That does make sense because some people are afraid of change. I had xp since 2001 so I'm pretty much sick to my ass of it lol.
i dont have the windows XP CD...I have the installation files on a USB...Seems like I cant install the XP in my MAC coming from an USB..is this a problem???
@rodolforocker2001 Take a look at my slipstream Windows XP with service packs. That will help you make a CD. Even if you only have the files on a USB stick.
@thrive2010rahul If it was bought with Mac OS X Lion on it. Windows XP is no longer supported. However if has had Snow Leopard or Leopard before. You can hold ALT down at the reboot (Just before the chimes sounds) and then you can boot from the CD.
I am trying to make a video about how to install Windows 7, but i can't really find the time. I am quite busy with work at the moment.
I have experienced many times in SL that my windows machines arrant detected. Now Lion sees them every time. So the network discovery, and file shareing is far better, and faster.
Mail also seems to handle mails from Outlook and Windows Live Mail different. I don't receive any raw text mails anymore, I did on SL. Thats what i can think of quickly. And in general I think there's many improvements in Lion. Except for Exposé :-) (aka Mission Control), that's a step back.
@tkotomy Run the software update on your Mac, to make sure you have the 10.6.8 version. And then through the Mac app store. You buy Lion for 29.99 US Dollars. And in about 2-3 hours, your mac is upgraded.
You can read more at Apple(dot)com(slash)macosx and then you click "How to upgrade"
@gongboy3 I can't do much about a full hard drive. I can tell you to try and clean up some old files you don't need anymore. Thats all. Or buy a bigger hard drive!
@rurudtsafg You need a Windows XP with Service pack 2 on it. But if you don't have that, you can "Slipstream" it with SP2 or 3. I have a guide on how to do on youtube. Take a look at my channel!
Hey the89lunder, i thought i would mention this lol. well anybody who wants to do this BUY WINDOWS 7 FULL VERSION HOME PREMIUM, ULTIMATE, OR THE OTHER ONE THEY HAVE LOL. Mac has stopped supporting windows xp so when u install windows at the end when u install the drivers from bootcamp from the windows side it says you need windows 7 so it wont work :( i tried
@MrFrankfurt431 Start by finding the DVD you have with Snow Leopard, either the one you bought in the store, or the DVD 1 that came with your Mac. And insert it. Then you activate the finder. So the Finder menus is in the menubar. Then you select, GO, and GO TO FOLDER... There you type: / Volumes / NAME OF THE DVD / System / Installation / Packages (Without spaces, and beware it might be case sensitive) In here the installation of bootcamp should be!
@Kuifung Simple. When you have installed the Bootcamp utility in Windows XP. There is a Bootcamp symbol in the taskbar, next to the clock. Right click it, and choose restart to Mac OS X. That will set Mac OS X as the default.
I Have a Windows xp Professional version 2002. When i was installing it (blue screen) it said error. cant read disk. or somthing like that and then told me to put in a disk that was compatible and it had a list and one of them was windows xp home edition so i ordered that with sp3 so will that one work? i dont think the first one worked because i dont think it was sp2 or later. i actually just figured that out as i was writing this XD
@The89Lunder haha yes i did watch your video on how to slipstream, but soon found out i had no clue of what was going on. I got lost making all of the folders and moving things to places i didnt no where i was! so i decided that i should have payed attention in computer class :)
I've got a question: I have a MacBookPro 15" 2011 i7 2Ghz
And i have a XP disc. I've installed it on bootcamp, but when my computer restarted, he showed a black screen and this text: Hardware configuration bla bla bla...
And when i shut my computer down and restart him again, he does the same :(
What should i do??!!! I can't do anything now on my computer and he's brand new :,(
@DxeZzPain Hold the ALT key down when you start your Mac. You must hold down before the startup chime. And then you will get a menu on your screen, where you can boot into Mac OS X again.
After that make sure in system prefrences you have the correct default start os. I show that in the end of the video.
great video. i just have one quick question. i have an old HP Operating System DVD with windows XP Media Center on it(basically a OS recovery disc). i was wondering if i could use that instead of a regular XP cd. I have OS X Leopard
also, this is kind of off topic, but my friend just got a new mac and i was wondering if i could use his OS X DVD that came with his macbook to upgrade my OS to snow leopard.
@teddyd2009 Many of the manufactures of computers tend to protect the CD's and DVD's so the only can be used with the computer they was shipped with. So using your HP DVD is a bit optimistic.
And the OS X DVD your friend has, if it was shipped with his computer, well Apple actually uses the same protection, so that is a no go. But if he bought it in a store to upgrade his computer, it will work just fine on your computer too. If it is not a family pack however, it is not legal. Just so you know
I tried, but WinXP doesn't seem to have ANY drivers on it. I get no sound, no internet connection, nothing in the little bar at the bottom right, can't even update. But I can still use the mouse and keyboard. I am on a 21.5"iMac. HELP!!
@The89Lunder yeah dont worry i fixed it. the mac osx disc didnt work cuz i was still using XP SP1. I needed to get SP3, so I did, went thru some complicated procedures with the help of a guy from the apple store, and it's working perfectly fine now. In fact, im commenting in windows right now hahaha
After installing everything & you find in XP on Bootcamp that your sound doesn't work 1: make sure all drivers are installed from mac cd 2: play around with sound options through start menu until you hear something. Keep wiggling the volume level until you hear the little blurp noise. You'll eventually get it. Now I can play my games woo! :o)
@latviandude Installing Windows XP takes about 30 minutes. And the preparations about 15 minutes.
The only thing you have to be aware of is that during most of the installation of Windows XP, you will need to stay at the computer, since it will ask several questions during installation.
Great tutorial, I have used it many times. But yesterday me and my friend tried to do this and when the mac restartes it began the installation, when the installation was done it restarted and then it said "disk error, press any key to restart your computer." And the computer is stuck, It wont boot, but sometimes it's installing xp again when you boot it... What should we do?
i can't see too much,maybe u can put some instructions...i'm trying to install a windows xp cdand after that i can't connect to internet and i don't have sound on it...i dunno what should i do..can u help me?thx
@The89Lunder Hehe , thanks and one more thing . I heard from someone that each disc operates in only the computer its meant to or something like that .
@DheaKDS That is a bit tricky. But here is the thing. You can buy OEM and Retail. A Retail can be moved from computer to computer. Over and over. OEM binds to the first computer it is installed on. And is not meant to be installed on other computers. But it can be done.
If you need Windows on multiple you can buy a familypack.
Hello, does the windows have to be an original copy?
i tried installing windows 7 using bootcamp, unfortunatly after installation is done, and when windows starts up for the first time, my macbook keeps on rebooting!
I have installed XP, everythings running smoothly, but i cannot find my original mac leopard os x disk. how do i get out of windows and without the disk, how will it affect windows?
@Mauzmania If your sound doesn't work, then you need to update the drivers. Open Apple Software update on the computer, and get the latest drivers. (On Windows XP of Course)
@futuref22pilot That is both a yes, and a no. You can install Windows XP. But windows XP can't be upgraded to Windows 7. You will have to remove windows XP first, and then install Windows 7
@futuref22pilot You open the Disk utility application. Go into partitions for your harddrive. And remove the Bootcamp partition. Resize your Mac partition to fill it out, and click apply. Windows removed.
when i go start installation after my mac restarts and goes to boot and install windows xp it says "no bootable disk found. insert boot disk and press any key to start" or something like that. please HELP!..:(
@The89Lunder Da du installerede xp, så skulle den formatere. Ville det slette alt på computeren dermed mac OS? eller kun den del af hardisken som var blevet delt op 11 Gb?
Forresten har jeg prøvet at finde xp til min mac, både ude i butikkerne og på nettet, har du et forslag til hvordan jeg kunne finde eller downloade xp? tak :)
@Future20Vehicle12 Når jeg installere XP, så er det kun det område jeg satte af via Bootcam der bliver berørt. Resten af Mac'en forbliver intakt.
Windows XP er blevet utroligt svært at få fat i. Kun nogle enkelt IT butikker har XP idag. Det bedste resultat er nok at se om ikke du kan downloade en Volume License via en torrent. (Volume License, så slipper du for aktiverings bøvl)
@spikesan2211 If you have installed the Boot camp tools. You can rightclick the Bootcamp icon in the bottom right of the screen. As i show in the video.
If you have not, hold down the ALT key when you start your mac. Make sure to hold it before the chime.
And choose Mac OS X.
In Mac OS X you can set Mac OS X to be default start OS in System Prefrences. As I also show in the video.

The New MAC OS 10.7.X installing Bootcamp is totally different.
1. Run Bootcamp and set partition.
2. Reboot and hold the ALT key down to get to the "TWO DRIVE" screen.
3. Insert the XP disk into the cd drive and wait for it to appear on the screen.
4. Click on it to start the install of XP windows.
5. It shows it can't use the existing partition..delete it and allow windows to create a new NTFS partition and reformat it.
Good Luck

I am trying to make a video about how to install Windows 7, but i can't really find the time. I am quite busy with work at the moment.

Do I need to install an anti-virus system for windows? Or does it use my mac system to protect it?
pantsthattravel 4 months ago
@pantsthattravel When installing Windows via Bootcamp. Its is 99% like having a Windows PC. So yes, Anti-virus is needed.
Oh, and the 1% is the little sign on the computer that says "Mac". Thats better than any windows PC ;-)

@tkotomy Have you tried the new Mac OS X Lion. I my opinion it is far better in the Windows World than Snow Leopard!
The89Lunder 4 months ago
@The89Lunder hmmm no i haven't to be honest! What's different in it?
tkotomy 4 months ago
@tkotomy Fast answer.
I have experienced many times in SL that my windows machines arrant detected. Now Lion sees them every time. So the network discovery, and file shareing is far better, and faster.
Mail also seems to handle mails from Outlook and Windows Live Mail different. I don't receive any raw text mails anymore, I did on SL. Thats what i can think of quickly. And in general I think there's many improvements in Lion. Except for Exposé :-) (aka Mission Control), that's a step back.
The89Lunder 4 months ago
@The89Lunder Interesting, how do i upgrade my snow leopard if you dont mind?
tkotomy 4 months ago
@tkotomy Run the software update on your Mac, to make sure you have the 10.6.8 version. And then through the Mac app store. You buy Lion for 29.99 US Dollars. And in about 2-3 hours, your mac is upgraded.
You can read more at Apple(dot)com(slash)macosx and then you click "How to upgrade"

Does this work with Macbook White 2007 Duo core 2.0 Ghz 1 GB ram?
Also does this slow your macbook down?
VueeyNZaay 5 months ago
@VueeyNZaay It sure does!
And no, this does not slow down your Mac. It consumes hard drive space. But nothing else!
The89Lunder 5 months ago
@VueeyNZaay
it only slows your mac down, when you're in xp and in mac, when you're in a virtual machine,...
but in this case you start them apart and not at the same time, so it doesnt slow down at all...
But if you start windows in a virtual machine, it will not work with 1 GB of Ram and 2.0 Ghz...
i have a laptop with 2.5 GB of Ram and a 2.0 Ghz AMD Processor, and it really slows down my pc...

@The89Lunder I have Snowleopard. please help me :(
MrFrankfurt431 6 months ago
@MrFrankfurt431 Start by finding the DVD you have with Snow Leopard, either the one you bought in the store, or the DVD 1 that came with your Mac. And insert it. Then you activate the finder. So the Finder menus is in the menubar. Then you select, GO, and GO TO FOLDER... There you type: / Volumes / NAME OF THE DVD / System / Installation / Packages (Without spaces, and beware it might be case sensitive) In here the installation of bootcamp should be!
The89Lunder 6 months ago

@Kuifung Simple. When you have installed the Bootcamp utility in Windows XP. There is a Bootcamp symbol in the taskbar, next to the clock. Right click it, and choose restart to Mac OS X. That will set Mac OS X as the default.

I Have a Windows xp Professional version 2002. When i was installing it (blue screen) it said error. cant read disk. or somthing like that and then told me to put in a disk that was compatible and it had a list and one of them was windows xp home edition so i ordered that with sp3 so will that one work? i dont think the first one worked because i dont think it was sp2 or later. i actually just figured that out as i was writing this XD
desaunjaksn 6 months ago
@desaunjaksn Hi, well you didn't have to order a new Windows XP. You could have slipstreamed SP3 into it yourself.
All you need is a black CD and a program called nLite, and you can find it with google, and download it for free. Since its freeware!
The89Lunder 6 months ago
@The89Lunder haha yes i did watch your video on how to slipstream, but soon found out i had no clue of what was going on. I got lost making all of the folders and moving things to places i didnt no where i was! so i decided that i should have payed attention in computer class :)

DxeZzPain 8 months ago
@DxeZzPain Hold the ALT key down when you start your Mac. You must hold down before the startup chime. And then you will get a menu on your screen, where you can boot into Mac OS X again.
After that make sure in system prefrences you have the correct default start os. I show that in the end of the video.

also, this is kind of off topic, but my friend just got a new mac and i was wondering if i could use his OS X DVD that came with his macbook to upgrade my OS to snow leopard.
thanks
teddyd2009 8 months ago
@teddyd2009 Many of the manufactures of computers tend to protect the CD's and DVD's so the only can be used with the computer they was shipped with. So using your HP DVD is a bit optimistic.
And the OS X DVD your friend has, if it was shipped with his computer, well Apple actually uses the same protection, so that is a no go. But if he bought it in a store to upgrade his computer, it will work just fine on your computer too. If it is not a family pack however, it is not legal. Just so you know

Helpful tip if anyone has the same problem I did.
After installing everything & you find in XP on Bootcamp that your sound doesn't work 1: make sure all drivers are installed from mac cd 2: play around with sound options through start menu until you hear something. Keep wiggling the volume level until you hear the little blurp noise. You'll eventually get it. Now I can play my games woo! :o)

@latviandude Installing Windows XP takes about 30 minutes. And the preparations about 15 minutes.
The only thing you have to be aware of is that during most of the installation of Windows XP, you will need to stay at the computer, since it will ask several questions during installation.

DheaKDS 10 months ago
@DheaKDS That is a bit tricky. But here is the thing. You can buy OEM and Retail. A Retail can be moved from computer to computer. Over and over. OEM binds to the first computer it is installed on. And is not meant to be installed on other computers. But it can be done.
If you need Windows on multiple you can buy a familypack.

Future20Vehicle12 1 year ago
@Future20Vehicle12 Når jeg installere XP, så er det kun det område jeg satte af via Bootcam der bliver berørt. Resten af Mac'en forbliver intakt.
Windows XP er blevet utroligt svært at få fat i. Kun nogle enkelt IT butikker har XP idag. Det bedste resultat er nok at se om ikke du kan downloade en Volume License via en torrent. (Volume License, så slipper du for aktiverings bøvl)

@spikesan2211 If you have installed the Boot camp tools. You can rightclick the Bootcamp icon in the bottom right of the screen. As i show in the video.
If you have not, hold down the ALT key when you start your mac. Make sure to hold it before the chime.
And choose Mac OS X.
In Mac OS X you can set Mac OS X to be default start OS in System Prefrences. As I also show in the video.
