Yes.
You would need to get a hold of the Leopard Installatin Disk. Extract the Boot Camp application from its utilities folder onto to your Tiger running Mac. Run the boot camp application under Tiger and partition the drive. Install Windows. As soon as Windows is installed then you would install the boot camp drivers version 2.0 from the Leopard disk once again on the windows side.

Boot camp beta 1.2 to Snow Leopard

I've finally got around to updating Tiger to Snow Leopard (prep for Lion), which went fine, but I can't seem to update Boot Camp beta 1.2. When I try to run the boot camp assistant setup from the Snow Leopard disc in XP I get a prompt telling me errors were encountered, and that I need to try again later. XP is working ok with the old drivers. I know I could remove XP (SP2) 32 bit entirely and start over, but I'd rather not. Any ideas? Thanks.
Mac Pro 1,1 late 2006 with dual Xeons

In the same relative boat as you TNBriggs however I've a MacPro 1,1 2.66 with Snow Leopard OSX 10.68 with old Tiger-made Boot Camp Beta running Windows Vista Ultimate with about 160Gb partition (not big enough for me now) on an 1.5Tb triple partitioned drive. Also have upgraded original Radeon X1900 to a Radeon 3870 and that's where the probs started. Because I can't use any of the retail Boot Camps, I can't access graphics drivers for Windows Vista nor XP for the 3870 from AMD's site. They're all looking for newer Boot Camp resources to run all the graphic card parts of Apple's code. So snookered.
I also had XP 32-bit in another Tiger partition before that but since uninstalled as it would never take XP SP3. Only way I could ever get either Windows to work was to install drivers manually off original Tiger OSX retail DVD. I also have a Leopard OSX retail DVD but never tried its Boot Camp.
I also only want Windows on it for the rival R/C software - PHOENIX R/C 2.5 (now 3.0) and Microsoft FSX sim.
Was wanting to upgrade to the proper new Boot Camp drivers on SL OSX retail DVD but of course it didn't work.
THE PLAN
As HD prices have sky-rocketed since the Thailand floods wiped out all the Hard Drive factories last year, drives are becoming scarer by the day, and it'll be at least a year before any of the factories are up and running again, so 2012 will be HD ****.
Am going to back-up my other two partitions on the Windows drive and then wipe the whole lot and start again (but with a bigger 2Tb HD). Will then let SL's Boot Camp Assistant do its thing and just buy a 32-Bit Vista Home Premium OEM disk this time second-hand. As far as I'm aware the SL drivers will then work when it comes the time to put in the disk once it's all in (cos SL's OEM disk doesn't allow you to put in one driver at a time like Tiger etc. OEM disk did).
There is a way to get Windows 7 32-bit on a MacPro 1.1 on other forums, but I think leaving it at Vista will be better than nothing as it all worked greated in Vista Ultimate 64-Bit before I upgraded to Snow Leopard and swopped out the Radeon card to the later Radeon 3870. Phoenix R/C and FSX both ran sweetly. But again, the underpinnings of the whole thing had Boot Camp Beta (from Tiger's days) running it all thus I couldn't access the later updates from Apple, thus the reason to have to go through all this nonsense again.

Boot Camp Beta has Expired...

And now I'm finding that I no longer need/want Windows on this MacBook Pro which is still running Tiger (10.4.11) and want the disk space back for the Mac OS (i.e., I'm making it a dedicated "Mac" machine). Can't run Boot Camp Beta because it says its "expired". Is there any other way to do this... repartition the drive such that it's all Mac again, or am I gonna have to get up to Snow Leopard?
Thanks.

The Beta (version 1.3 and 1.4) expired on October 26, 2007 when OSX Leopard became publicly avaiable.
Version 1.2 or earlier of the Beta expired on September 30, 2007

What difference does it make if you have boot camp beta and it has expired

I have an imac w/OS 10.4.11--when i purchased it several years ago i had it partitioned and had windows xp installed. when i purchased this several years ago, they were using boot camp beta to do this.
recently i found out that the boot camp beta expired. the problem is i don't see how it has affected my windows or my mac. i don't see any difference.
the only problem i have is that i can't access the internet from the windows xp--*is this something that upgrading my OS and using the full bootcamp would correct?*
if not, then why should i upgrade the OS to Leopard using the final version of boot camp--what will i be able to do that i can't do now _from the WINDOWS XP perspective?_ ( i assume there are advantages from the Mac perspective, but nothing i can see that i need there--i look at the internet, play games (not action games), and write documents).

hi iatrosm,
Yes, i had internet access from both windows xp and from mac for about a year and a half, and then one day the windows access 'disappeared'
i had a microsoft certified technician (son of a friend who also works in the field) come and look at it.
we could only find that for whatever reason the modem was not receiving the signal any longer from windows. the windows showed that the modem was receiving it.
That's indeed very odd.
naturally apple said it was a windows problem and microsoft said it was an apple problem.
my personal feeling is that it is a hardware problem--but the issue is receiving from windows.
the modem works fine from my mac side.
Is this a dial-up modem or part of DSL ?
And how is it connected (ethernet...) ?
Has it some sort of self-test feature or the possibility for a full reset ?
While hardware can break, it usually breaks completely, not OS-dependent.
Is the modem shown in the Device Manager of Windows (Control Panel - System - Hardware) ?
Any system updates you have installed in Windows prior to the failure of the modem ?
Any Firewall settings changed ?

i must have been one of the last people to download the old version of bootcamp before they updated it the other day.
still if you down load the new one.
you can install it over the old.
then burn a new drivers disk.
boot windows & run driver disk, this will update all to latest drivers, had to do this part twice as windows hung on install at one point. but now got it working.

Boot Camp Beta - Vista

Will Boot Camp Beta work with Windows Vista?
Also, when I try to partition my start-up drive (for the second time) It wont allow me, saying that I have to use my Mac OSX install disks to repair my disk or something? Is there a way around that?
Or a way I can download my start-up disks since they aren't currently with me?
Thanks.

Also, when I try to partition my start-up drive (for the second time) It wont allow me, saying that I have to use my Mac OSX install disks to repair my disk or something? Is there a way around that?
No. You have to boot from the Installer DVD that came with the computer or an external drive that contains a bootable system (meaning one that will boot the MBP.)
Or a way I can download my start-up disks since they aren't currently with me?
No. You cannot download the discs that came with the computer.

Boot Camp error: The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Jounraled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows.

Hi!
I am getting the error:
"The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Jounraled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows."
I read up some on google, but all of them says that they have crated a partition and that is the problem, I only have the standard "Macintosh HD".
I tried to create a partition manually in disk utility but then the error message: "Partition failed with error message: Could not unmount disk."
Can anyone help me? It's driving me crazy.
Thanks.

This message, and threads like yours got asked daily for over two years, now it is only a couple times a week!!
Is it so hard to follow through? you were to have backup already, clones are best, then erase/format and restore.
Then partition.
Some have been able to use Disk Utility booted from OS X DVD or another drive, and repair the drive.
You have to use Boot Camp Assistant (99.9% anyway) to create and achieve a proper Windows Master Boot Record partition.

Boot Camp drivers for windows (download)

I am trying to instal windows 7 on my MacBook Pro thru Boot Camp. Does anyone know where I can download the Boot Camp drivers for windows. I can't find them on the apple website and I don't have my Mac OS X instal DVD with me.
Thank you

Are they essential or can I run windows 7 on my Macbook Pro without the bootcamp drives
Only if you don't mind a Windows system lacking most features and thus beaing nearly unuseable.
Applying the appropriate drivers for hardware support is a must for all operating systems.

Unable to install Boot Camp Drivers for Windows

Mac Pro (2) 3.2 Xeon quads
Mac OS 10.5.2
Boot Camp side - Windows XP pro x64 w/SP2
Step 3 listed in the instructions for setting up Boot Camp is to Install the Boot Camp drivers for Windows. At this point Windows recognizes my Mac Install disk 1. I get the following message: "the installer encountered errors before Boot Camp could be configured. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again." I am not sure if I needed to do something to install the Service Pack 2? My firmware is at MP31.006C.B02 and 1.25f4. When I checked for the latest firmware, it returned a message that it was not necessary.
Maybe the XP pro x64 is not compatible?

I did install windows xp sp2 32 bit on my macbook pro 2.2 GB and I'm getting the same ...
When trying to install boot camp drivers, a message came up saying:
Boot Camp requires that your computer is running Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista.
The only option it gave me was to click the "OK" button. When I clicked OK , another message came up saying:
Boot Camp Installer completed. The install encountered errors before Boot Camp could be configured. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again. Click "finish" to exit installer. I am running a brand new full retail version of windows xp service pack 2. Applecare will not help blaming Microsoft and of course Microsoft is blaming Apple. What a bunch of useless crap!! Can anyone help??

Can professional software and 3D graphics be used in Boot Camp Beta 1.3?

I am using professional equipment that normally operates on a Windows OS with software using .NET Framework 2.0, DirectX 9.0c.
- If I am to use this software do you think it will work in Boot Camp Beta 1.3 using Windows XP Pro (2)?
- The software has a 3D imaging feature hence the DirectX 9.0c so do you think this will also work?
- Does Apple have a service where they can answer these questions other than this forum?
I am new to Apple and not at all computer literate so please keep this in mind when sending your replies. Really apprecaite any help that you can provide.

Running Windows on a Mac via Apple's Boot Camp is absolutely no different than running it on any other PC, as Macs are PCs. So if it works on your current PC, it will work on you Mac.
Further questions regarding Boot Camp should be posted in the Book Camp discussions:

Best Boot Camp version for my MacBook Pro?

Hi guys!
So, I've got a 17" MacBook Pro from 2007. It's listed as "macbookpro2,1" in System Profiler, if that helps. I've got the Windows 7 Release Candidate installed on a Boot Camp partition running BC version 2.0. I guess I'm a bit confused - what is the "correct" version of the Boot Camp drivers for this machine?
I bought Star Trek Online today, and I just want to make sure I'm getting the best performance this trusty old Mac is capable of!
Thanks,
Huxley

Hi Huxley,
Windows 7 BootCamp Driver support requires both the Snow Leopard install DVD, which contains the 3.0 version of the Drivers, and the 3.1 driver update which can be download from Apples download site.
The version number of the BootCamp Assistant in OSX is either 3.0 when you use OSX Snow Leopard or 2.0 if you use OSX Leopard.

To my knowledge the Windows 7 Release Candidate is only valid for use till the end of March, so it might be time to buy the full version.

Where do I find the boot camp driver for my MacBookPro3,1

I have an older model intel macbook. The model identifier is MacBookPro3,1. Can anyone provide me with a link to download the correct boot camp assistant and drivers? I don't have the old installation cds that it normally comes with. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, I'm also doing the same thing on an intel MacPro. It isn't the latest model but the model just before that.

Apple makes it so you need OS X DVD to get Boot Camp 3.0 first before you can install or download updates.
Call and request replacement DVD, or just buy SL 10.6.x DVD $29.
That would be newer and your OEM didn't come with 10.6.
I assume you have the original discs for 2009 Mac Pro.
Any 10.6 DVD will provide Boot Camp driver for any Mac.

Cannot get Boot Camp drivers (for Windows XP) installed

I've partitioned my Time Machine HD for the 32GB/FAT format of Windows XP/Home Edition w/SP2. The installation of Windows proceeded OK. However, after installing Windows, ejecting the W-Install disc, and inserting my MAC OS X Leopard disc, the "setup.exe" file does not open. If I start up in Windows, I cannot open the Opt. Disc drawer since the BC drivers are not installed; if I insert the OS X disc in the drawer, then restart in Windows, the "setup.exe." file does not open.
Where do I go from here to install the Boot Camp drivers for Windows? These drivers are needed for 'normal' Windows operation, and are required in order to install the Boot Camp update. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi David,
while you are in Windows and have the Leopard DVD inserted, can you access the content of it using the Windows Explorer ?
or maybe this hint on MacOSXHints can help you access the Windows Content of your Leopard DVD while in OSX http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080708145453136
If so, you can try to copy the Windows Content onto a USB Memory Stick and use it to install the drivers.
Good Luck
