Is there a way to install boot camp on a 2006 Mac Pro running Lion?

Lion comes with Boot Camp 4, which supports Windows 7+. The 2006 Mac Pro however only supports Windows Vista, which requires Boot Camp 3.
I can't find a download link for Boot Camp 3, only 4 and 5.
Does anyone have an idea?

It is on your original dvd that came with your computer. See the Boot Camp System Requirements located here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
Look for your computer to determine what support software version is supported and where it is located.

    Is there a way to download Boot Camp 2.1 drivers?
    Thanks.

    You can get those drivers from here, but they may refuse to install if you haven't installed the Boot Camp 2.0 drivers from the Mac OS X 10.5 DVD.

  • AMD Crossfire, Boot Camp, and the new Mac Pro Issue

    Hello, all.
    I have a new Mac Pro (Late 2013) with 6 cores, 32 GB RAM, and dual D700 AMD graphics cards.  I'm using an older 30 inch Apple Cinema Display (with the dual link DVI adapter).  I've successfully installed Windows 8.1 under Boot Camp.  Here's my problem...
    I understand that for the new Mac Pro under Boot Camp enables AMD CrossfireX by default from multiple sources online.  However, it's disabled on mine, and every time I try to enable it (and hit "Apply" in the AMD Control Center), it disables again.
    Is Crossfire only available for use with a Thunderbolt Display attached?  Could that be the problem?  Or is the AMD Control Panel lying to me?
    Now, games in Windows are still running well... But I'd like to take full advantage of the dual graphics cards in the new Mac Pro with Crossfire.  Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Fixed it!
    So, not only would Crossfire not enable under Windows 8.1 on my Mac Pro in Boot Camp... But Windows started crashing massively.  I was about to wipe Boot Camp entirely and try a clean install (even though the only three things I'd installed were Windows itself using Apple's exact instructions, Steam, and Skyrim), but decided in a last ditch effort to try disconnecting and reconnecting peripherals.
    Turns out the culprit was my Belkin Thunderbolt Express Dock.
    Disconnecting the Belkin Thunderbolt dock not only stopped Windows from crashing, but now I can enable Crossfire, as well!
    Now, this is especially strange since I have read elsewhere that people have no problems using the Belkin dock under Boot Camp with other Macs... This issue is probably isolated to using it in Boot Camp with the new Mac Pro.  But disconnecting the dock from my Mac Pro has solved not just one but all of my Boot Camp issues.  (Of course, using the Belkin dock under OSX on my Mac Pro is no problem.)
    Long story short, if you have a new Mac Pro and plan on using Windows 8.1 under Boot Camp, don't have the Belkin Thunderbolt Express Dock attached.
    I'm going to contact Belkin and tell them what I've discovered.
    Hope that helps y'all.

  • Catch 22 after Win7 upgrade from Vista (no way to install Boot Camp)

    I've seen other posts about this but no answers, so I'll keep this
    I had Vista Home Premium running in a Boot Camp partition on my black MB 2.0GHz with Snow Leopard, although I only used Fusion and not Boot Camp for Windows. (The Boot Camp partition dated back to the program's beta, which I ran on Tiger. I skipped Leopard.) I replaced the hard drive with a larger model -- thank you CCC and WinClone --, upgraded to Win7 Home Premium and thought I'd try getting Boot Camp running.
    The Snow Leopard install DVD has a Boot Camp 3.0 installer that refuses to run on Win 7. (The error message that I get is, "Boot Camp requires that your computer is running Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista.") And the Boot Camp 3.1 Updater is, well, an updater that wants to see Boot Camp 3.0. Doesn't seem to be any way forward!
    I've seen it recommended to try a Boot Camp 2.1 installer (seems like a long shot, but has anyone tried it?) or to run the Boot Camp 3.0 installer in Vista compatibility mode (reported not to work).
    It doesn't feel worth it to re-image the MacBook's Boot Camp partition to Vista using my WinClone backup, then install Boot Camp 3.0, then do the Win 7 upgrade again, and then run the Boot Camp 3.1 updater. Not when Fusion is so good. It took me several iterations of the restore-and-upgrade business with Boot Camp Assistant and WinClone to get to this point and I'm not eager to repeat it. It's not hard, just tedious. It does seem likely that that upgrade path would work, however. Practic makes perfect.
    Thoughts?

    And just one more thing... I'm remembering now that when I started up the Win7 install, I got a warning that Boot Camp wouldn't work after the upgrade. I don't know which version that would have been. I went ahead with the upgrade anyway. Knowing now how that worked out, I can see that I probably zigged where I should have zagged. But I remember thinking at the time that my options were to cancel the upgrade, uninstall Boot Camp and then try the upgrade again. It didn't occur to me to upgrade to the 3.1 version of Boot Camp because I thought that was the Win7 compatible version, and I was still on Vista at that point.
    Maybe all this verbiage will help someone else avoid this situation!

  • Is there a way of installing 10.4.2 on a Mac mini without password?

    I am trying to help a friend who purchased a Mac mini from a relative a few years ago.
    The OS needs reinstalling (too many faults to mention). I have the original install disc 1 and 2, but every time i try installing, the administrator password is needed. Unfortunately the first owner did not keep a record of it (all alternatives given have failed).
    Is there a way of installing the OS without the administrator's password?
    As a final attempt, i am a bit worried to erase all volumes using disc utility, because this might turn the mini completely useless if the OS will not install afterwards.
    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Um, I can't specifically answer that because I don't have a FV master password set and I am reluctant to set one just to see if I can unset it. I would think that if you do have one set it would only be requested if you were doing something related to FV. If you could provide cases where you are being asked for a password it might help us track down the reason. I am mostly asked for a password when I am adding software to the computer or doing some other administrative task. In that case it is asking for my admin password. The FV one I think is only as a backdoor to a FV account in case somebody has forgotten their password.

  • Boot Camp & RIAD on a Mac Pro

    I am trying to install Boot Camp on a Mac Pro with four 500GB hds in two striped raids one as a time machine backup for the other. As soon as I hit continue to start the Boot camp installation assistant I get a warning that says "You cannot partition an external disk drive. Restart your computer using your computer's internal startup disk." But I am using my internal startup disk. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    When I went to install boot camp...I got that also.
    My conclusion is that Boot Camp will not install on a RAID subsystem. This is highly likely due to the fact that you need a clean "partition" to install boot camp and it doesn't expect to have to get Windows to work with the RAID system (although I don't see why it wouldn't).
    So, if you are RAIDed, you are out of luck.
    Go get Parallels. You will love it. Coherence mode is amazing.
    If you want to play games...well, keep away from FPS games or high speed graphics...then Parallels will do just fine. (It might even do OK in full screen mode). I don't play games, so I don't have experience with them in Parallels. Ask around.
    I use Parallels every day to run Flare and Groove (Windows XP). (and Windows Vista which will not run Flare or Groove without....problems..., and Ubunto, and RedHat Linux 4, and RedHat Linux 5, and openSUSE, and SUSE Enterprise Linux 10...though not necessarily all at the same time!)
    Good Luck!

  • Best way to install boot camp

    Hello, i got a MBP recently, and i would like to put boot camp on it, mostly so that i can play a online game (magic online) which is windows only, but isnt stressing on the video card, (just cards, nothing fast and flashy, so i would expect to be able to run it smoothly)
    What is the best way to go about this? Am i able to get an external harddrive/ big flash drive to put windows on and then only have it on here when i need it, i dont really want to partition my internal drive, as it seems like that always leads to problems later on...
    I guess what im asking, is you the people who use boot camp, what is the best/easiest/most reliable means of installation and use for boot camp. And where is the best to place to buy a windows cd for the installation (xp)
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Microsoft has gone to great lenghts hindering the user to install Windows onto external devices.
    Googling through the net brings up some instructions on how-to do this nonetheless, but it is quite an effort.
    Best way to install WIndows on your Mac for playing games would be the useage of BootCamp and by following the BootCamp Installation Guide to be found here http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ or inside the BootCamp Assistant in OSX (in the Applications/Utilities folder).

  • How do I install Boot Camp drivers without the Mac OS disc?

    When I installed OS X Lion for my Macbook Pro, I purchased it off the Apple Store (so I don't have the disc.)
    Is there any way possible to download the drivers I need without the disc?

    there is a guide when you launch boot camp assistant, and the faqs articles how-to and manual are

    In fact the above and change the last /..... to product name is usually your best first stop for help. And Help menu in program, like Boot Camp Assistant of course, will as well!!

  • Quick OS X fresh install boot camp question (MP 2006 1,1)

    i have a pair of drives in my 2006 1,1 mac pro with one containing a partition of mountain lion (as i recall) along with a boot camp partition of windows XP and the second hard drive containing a CLONE of the mountain lion partition along with a boot camp partition of windows 7.
    can i do a fresh RE-INSTALL of mountain lion on the OS X partition and basically keep the two boot camp partitions intact and in use on this 2006 machine?

    Not to steal The hatter 's thunder, but what is being suggested is that a MP disk which does not have OS X and is less than 2TB in size can be formatted as MBR-only disk when XP is installed, which Windows understands, and you do not have to deal with the vagaries of a hybrid MBR. Otherwise you deal with a GPT/MBR combination. Resizing partitions on the MBR-only disk is also allowed without having to manipulate the hybrid MBR.
    A GPT/MBR combination disk can also be converted to a MBR-only disk via GPT Fdisk, provided you do not have anything else (like OS X) which needs a GPT to function. If you need steps, let me know.
    The MP 1,1 can be a pure Windows machine, if the WXP is on a standalone MBR only disk, if you leave the XP only disk in the MP. If it has a Hybrid MBR, you have to use Alt/Option, if necessary, to boot into Windows. Since the OS X disk has been removed,

  • I can't install Boot Camp Windows drivers from Mac OS X v10.6 install DVD

    1- I already installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit using Boot Camp Assistant 3.04 on my new Mac Book Pro 13" purchased this week, on a 60 G partition.
    2- While in Windows 7 and after inserting my Mac OS X installation DVD, the screen displayed the Auto Play "DVD RW Drive  (D:) Windows Support " 
        box where I selected: "Run setup.exe Published by Apple Inc." and double click on it
    3- Then the Screen showed the "Install Assistant" with two options on it instead of the supposed "Welcome to Boot Camp Installer" . The option were:
        Remote Install OSX and DVD or CD Sharing.
    4- At that point I didn't know how to continue, so I quit the process and now I NEED YOUR ADVICE ON HOW TO.

    i tried to download the windows suport SOftware "boot  Camp" and it freezes!
    No i can install the boot camp, but does not acept the windos 7
    It runs all to the end the installation of windows, Then it begins, creating a new user, and when it will start , it CRACHES!
