How can I install windows XP in my Macbook using bootcamp?

I`ve just bought my mackbook Pro and I`m student of engineering. I`d like to install windows XP in my macbook to use some especifics softwares! But when I use bootcamp, Mac just gives me the option to install Windows 7? How can I install Windows XP? Thanks at all!

Bootcamp 4 which ships with Lion doesn't support XP or Vista, only 7.  Try using Parallels or VMWare instead.

  • How can i install windows games in my macbook pro

    I m a game lover but since i've macbook pro,i haven't played any game on my macbook...so guys please tell me how can i install windows games to my macbook pro.

    As eww said, that computer isn't specifically made for gaming. To get advanced graphics in a game, your computer needs what is called a "discrete" graphics processor, or GPU. This means a seperate chip that processes graphics. In Apple laptops, these are only found in the 15" and 17" MacBook Pro. It is not common to find these in laptops in general that are not expensive and high-end. What you have in yours is an "on-board" or "integrated" GPU. This means that graphics processing is done by a small portion of your main processor (the Intel i5 board). This takes away a portion of primary prossessing and dedicates it to graphics. This works perfectly find in most scenarios, but video rendering, gaming, and 3-D graphics tend to suffer. Most high-end, modern games require discrete GPUs to run at full quality these days.
    As far as running Windows 7 and Mac OS both, yes you absolutely can. If you install Windows 7 via Bootcamp (this would require you to have a Windows 7 CD), when you turn on your computer it will default to opening up in Mac OS. But if you hold down the Option key (bottom of the keyboard next to the Command button) while the computer is booting up, it will ask you if you want to open Windows or Mac OS.

  • Unable to install Windows 8.1 on Macbook using BootCamp Assistant

    Hi, I own a Macbook Pro 13" Mid 2012 model.
    I am trying to install Windows 8.1 on my Macbook using BootCamp Assistant, but i always get this error :
    "No Bootable device detected, Insert Boot disk and press any key".
    I've tried pressing the option key during boot to startup the boot manager and this is what i get :
    I notice that the Windows boot disk doesn't show EFI Boot like it is supposed to when installing windows on a Mac.
    I know this because I once had successfully installed Win 8.1 using BootCamp before on my MacBook.
    However I'm not sure what the problem is this time.

    On pre-2013 Macs, EFI installation does not work or partially succeeds, because these models are preUEFI models. The Late 2013+ models will support EFI boot correctly, without any driver issues. Your specific model supports installing from a DVD+USB or USB (I have the same 13" 2012 MBP).
    You need to ensure that the USB device used is a USB2  and not a USB3 device. Please verify the integrity of the Windows ISO file (if used) using Microsoft FCIV tool. The same applies to the DVD. Do not connect any other external storage to your MBP. Do not use Alt/Option key to interrupt the BCA-initiated installation.
    Using Alt/Option works when installing EFI-based on Windows, but you can directly boot into EFI installer from System Preferences -> Startup Disk -> EFI Boot Media.

  • How can I install window 7 on my Macbook?

    My Macbook is at Lion 10.7.3 and now I want to install window7 on My Macbook through BootCamp.
    How can I do that? Intruct me please. Thanks

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use BootCamp. There's a BootCamp Support Community where everybody uses BootCamp. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • How can I install Windows 7 on my Macbook air

    I recent purchased a Macbook air mid-2011 and I want to install a copy of Windows 7 by Boot Camp. But I did not know why I cannot reboot the Windows after the distribution completed (I had a Sumsung mobile DVD-ROM which works well when I use it to install apps). With my old Macbook 2010, of course, which had a DVD-ROM inside, it will automatically reboot into Windows installation . According to the Boot Camp, the 1st step is to make a ISO-image of Windows 7. However, I did not know how to do it. Please help me.
    Thanks!

    As this is not a Macbook Air specific question, and is entirely a Bootcamp usage query, the best place to post this is in the BootCamp forum of this community.

    i only post this because I know that you are likely to get a much faster array of repsonses that will resolve all your questions if you post in the forum most suitable.

    How Can I Install Windows 8.1 Enterprise on my MacBook Pro?

    Hi Armin.S,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you are asking about the system requirements for running various versions of Windows under Bootcamp, or just more generally how to set up Bootcamp on your Mac, you may find the following articles/pages helpful:

  • I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro, How can I install Windows 7 without an Optical Drive?

    For clarity:  I have a mid 2010, Macbook Pro.  I recently decided to upgrade to a Crucial SSD drive, double the ram (8 gigs), and remove the optical drive in favor of using my old drive as a back up.  I am also currently running Yosemite.
    I want to install Windows 7 onto my SSD, using bootcamp.  Unfortunately I no longer have an optical drive installed, which makes things difficult as Bootcamp does not even give me the option to create a bootable USB.
    Now, this is where things get kinda fuzzy:
    MId 2010 macbooks use EFI, and are quite capable of booting from USB.  How do I know?  Because I booted from a USB drive in order to do a fresh install of Yosemite on my SSD.
    I have read mutliple forums and threads with claims that folks have had no problems doing this on 2008 Macbook Pros running Snow Leopard.  However, what seemed to be required was some clever .plist modding.  I have used both text wrangler, and x-code to do this, unfortunately upon booting of bootcamp, bootcamp instantly crashes.  Naturally, I can restore bootcamp because I made backups of the .plist file.
    It would seem that modffying the .plist file assumes that the option to create a bootable USB device is grayed out.  In my case, it is non existent.
    I have also read that folks have had success using rEFIt, however rEFIt has been forked to rEFIned, and the developer of rEFIned made mention on his site that Yosemite handles booting differently than previous versions of OSX.
    WIth that, I was hoping that some kind person could explain to me whats going on, what I am missing, and what I can do to make this happen just shy of tearing down my MBP and reisntalling the Optical Drive and dusting off my Win 7 disc.
    Also, my Model Number/Bootrom is MBP 6,2.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thank you for your reply, and the information.  This is what I came up with:
    I added the strings as instructed, however when I went to sign the script in terminal, I was told:
    /Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant.app: replacing existing signature
    /Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant.app: code object is not signed at all
    In subcomponent: /Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant.app/Contents/info.plist
    Also, here are screen captures of the lines that I added.  Mine are the top string entries:
    Thank you for your help, thus far!

  • How Can I install Windows on my iMac??

    Hi There! I wanted to ask that how can i install windows 7 64-bit on my imac as i wanted to use some softwares and also, play some games that are not there on osx. Please tell my how to do this. I have a 2007 24-inch iMac with the following specs-
    Intel Core2 Duo CPU@ 2.40GHz
    4GB RAM (That i Upgraded Myself)
    Radeon HD2600 Pro Graphics, 256MB
    320GB HDD
    OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion

    Your Mid 2007 iMac has got a 64-bit processor that allows you to install a 64-bit Windows 7 version, but Apple doesn't give you support for it in your iMac. Only Late 2009 and newer iMacs are supported by Apple to install a 64-bit version. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    My advice is to install a 32-bit Windows 7 version, although you will probably not be able to use all the RAM. Follow Apple's steps to install Windows > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf
    If you still want to install a 64-bit Windows 7 version, do it, but note that it won't work properly as there are no Apple drivers for it

  • How can I install Windows 7 on Macbook Pro 17' (2009 model)?

    I cannot Install, neither enter on the setup screen.
    When I go to Bootcamp (3.0.1) and do everything then at the end when it says to done & restart my Macbook Pro 17' Inch (2009 model (MacbookPro 5,2)).
    I get into a white screen (bootscreen) then it goes into a blackscreen. I am in the Setup screen because I hear my DVD reading when I press enter.
    When I restart I get back to the Windows Setup but to enter back to Mac OS X I had to reset my PRAM and NVRAM.
    Pease help ?

    Let me get this - because the title misled me as to what you are asking, ie:
    I cannot Install, neither enter on the setup screen.
    When I go to Bootcamp (3.0.1) and do everything then at the end when it says to done & restart my Macbook Pro 17' Inch (2009 model (MacbookPro 5,2)).
    I get into a white screen (bootscreen) then it goes into a blackscreen. I am in the Setup screen because I hear my DVD reading when I press enter.
    When I restart I get back to the Windows Setup but to enter back to Mac OS X I had to reset my PRAM and NVRAM.
    Does the above really tell the story?
    The issue isn't "How can I install Windows" but more like "I am trying to get past " an issue with Boot Camp 4.01.
    Some people that already had BC 4.x installed had trouble after March's "Patch Tuesday" which was a critical number of security patches and updates. They had to rollback, uninstall an update/driver, before they could move forward.
    The trouble with "had to zap pram to get back to Mac OS" is more to do with the health of the partition table and nvram, and you could try using both Windows control panel to set the default OS, and set Startup Disk control panel in Mac OS (click OFF the volume name, then back to the volume, too).
    Sometimes there are problems with 3rd party NTFS for OS X that people use as well.
    Boot into Lion Recovery - that should be first step if there are problems with Mac, and you don't sound like you tried boot Windows DVD (which I asked above, which can fix errors).

  • How can I install Windows 7 through Boot camp?

    I have a MacBook Pro Mid 2009 and I am running OSX Mavericks. How can I install Windows 7 from the install DVD? Thank you for the help in advance. Just as a side note, if I want to run GTA 4 on Windows 7 through Boot Camp, will it be faster than it is on Parallels? Thanks again.

    Games work much better in Boot Camp. Note that a virtual machine does not use all the performance of your MacBook, so they may work worse than in Boot Camp.
    Your Mac supports a 64-bit Windows 7 version, so open Boot Camp Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities), tick the options to download the Windows support software and install Windows, and follow its steps. Apple has got all the steps you need to install Windows > http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf
    Remember to install the Windows support software after installing Windows
