This is great site. Can I install winxp using bootcamp and downloading winxp from a site such as cNet, instead of using a disc — which I no longer have. Dave, great article!

Hello Dave, I have my friends Apple mac laptop, she wanted to install windows XP as a dual boot option. I am only familiar with XP windows and Not Apple OS, so please let me know steps for installation and also how and where to download Boot camp.
I appreciate your assistance very much. Do you need to know the version of the Apple OS? Azme Shariff. Will i be able to install Windows on my mac? Hence, how do I make a partition on my Mac? Are there any parallels somewhere? Thank you for your article. Can you help by any chance? Hi Dave! I have a new MacBook Pro, 13 inch, 8bg ram, gb hard drive.
I partitioned the hard drive for XP at 32 gb. It then told me to insert the windows installation cd and so I did. And stayed there. So I held the power button to restart, but now it only brings me back to this screen. I hold the eject button and the XP installation cd will not eject. I am freaking out! Any help you advice you could send my way would be Greatly appreciated!

Is there any way I can get the drivers? Pls help! Your procedure is different than the one in apple store where we burn the drivers on a cd.
Mac mini, Mac OS X Posted on Sep 22, PM. Apple no longer officially support running Windows XP on the new Mac mini. However this does not mean it is not possible. Another possibility for those with the tools and experience, would be to physically remove the hard disk from the Mac mini and fit it in the MacBook and then do the installation on the MacBook, then return the hard disk to the Mac mini.

In terms of drivers, the Boot Camp 3. Even with Windows 7 and Boot Camp some people find they get better results by finding and downloading themselves newer drivers.

Apple's web site says you can install Windows XP on your Mac. I do not have an answer. SP2 was released in and SP3 can out in Although your question did not ask about installing a newer version of Windows, I will include my thoughts anyway.
Generally, Microsoft does not require new drivers for each release of Windows. For example, when upgrading Windows, the newer version just adopts the drivers from the previous version. Also, Microsoft may offer new drivers though Windows Update. Windows 10 appears to have he ability to connect to the internet and download drivers during the installation process. This probably is not true.
You have a 2. I am writing this answer on a iMac with a 2. The operating systems is Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. Apple is not entirely wrong. The Boot Camp Assistant will not let you install the newer Windows operating systems, but you don't have to use the Boot Camp Assistant. Again, the Boot Camp Assistant is just an assistant used to make windows easier to install.
It does not have to be used. I needed to run Windows XP because of one particular program which doesn't run on more modern versions of Windows. I have just discovered that the easiest and cheapest way of installing XP on a Mac is to download "VirtualBox" which is free and open-source, and use my XP installation disk which also has a valid product key.
The procedure was extremely easy and I don't know of any advantage in buying products such as VMware or Parallels. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.
