How to install Windows XP on a MacBook [2]

TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE ON YOUR COMPUTER

I'm using a CD with a bootable image burnt with Roxio Toast 10 Titanium. The OS is Windows XP SP2 Professional English. You can get a copy of this CD by going to a video I uploaded recently called Windows On A Mac : Download Windows XP and Burn Into CD.

My Mac has OS X Leopard 10.5.6. 2.4GHz 2GB RAM 250HD
My Bootcamp partition was 15GB and formated using NTFS file system with Windows.

Windows XP Product Key: DP7CM-PD6MC-6BKXT-M8JJ6-RPXGJ

Procedure [2]:

After your Mac reboots, it automatically adjusts the resolution(witch will be better after installing OS X drivers). Then you go thru a small setup and then Windows boots up. Now you have to remove your Windows XP CD and insert your Mac OS X Install Disc 1. A Bootcamp installer should pop-up and now you should go thru the procedure to get the Bootcamp drivers installing. Once installed, your Mac will reboot in Windows XP and you will have compatibility for iSight, WiFi, bluetooth, mic, ports, keyboard, trackpad, graphics, etc. You will also have Bootcamp control panel in the bottom-right corner. You can now customize the preferences in the Bootcamp control panel. If you want to rename your HD name, you can only do it in Windows, not OS X, by going to My Computer. After this, you can remove your CD and reboot back to OS X. If you want to remove your Windows partition, just go to Bootcamp Assistant and select Remove a Windows Partition and it should restore your HD to a single OS X partition.

  • @PineTreeAndCone Viruses generally affect the hardware, am I right? If that's the case, then yes it would since it damages the computer rather than the operating system. Not sure though.

  • how do you update boot camp i have 3.0 i wanna get 3.1

  • @PineTreeAndCone I don't think so. The Mac firewall still exists in the Windows partition.

  • I have Windows XP installed on my mac, but I can't connect to the internet. Yes, I installed the drivers and everything, can anyone help me out?

  • Do i put in the mac osx cd or the aplication one

  • what

  • I put the mac install disk in and restart it but no drivers get installed. GAahh

  • Perfect Tutorial!! Thanks a lot...

  • Is it possible to restart back to os X if I don't have the Mac installer..? Cause if not I'm kind of screwed
