Boot camp on MBA, Win XP install and error message

Hello and thank you for your anticipated help. I just a MBA and want to install windows XPP. I created a 75GB partition using Boot Camp. Boot camp forced me to create a disk which I assume are the drivers for Windows XP. The setup of Windows started OK but when the MBA rebooted it came up with the message DISK ERROR - Press any key to restart. I cannot figure out how to get past this error.
Suggestions?

Problem solved. I installed Windows 7 and it want perfectly.

  • Instalation and Error Message: "Unable to load DLL(OraOps10.dll)"

    Hi, I'm not sure if my question is for this forum, but maybe :)
    I create very simple application in VS.NET using ODP.NET (see attachment) which just try to connect to oracle database. But when I install this project on different computer without Visual Studio (but Redistribute Package .NET Framework 1.1 is installed!!!) and with database Oracle 8.1.7 an error message occurred:
    "Unable to load DLL(OraOps10.dll)"
    How can I create some Install project in VS using ODP.NET that can run on other PC ???
    How can I solve this problem with loading DLL???
    Thanx, Tomas

    Tomas,
    You will need the Oracle Data Provider for .NET to be installed on the new machine.
    Thanks,

    What is the error? Are you following the Bootcamp instructions? Where on the "internet" are you trying to install from? Did you try downloading from here http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/downloads/?

  • Boot Camp 2.1 will not install in Windows 7 beta 1

    I have installed the 32-bit Windows 7 beta 1 on my MacBook using Boot Camp 2.0. I cannot for the life of me get the 2.1 update installed. After downloading in Windows, I run the setup and it asks me if it's okay to allow that file to make changes to my system. I agree but it stops there. Nothing happens. I made sure that I downloaded the 32-bit version for Vista and still nothing. Do I need to create a disc?

    I figured that because Boot Camp is only compatible for XP and Vista, yet I was able to install Windows 7 just fine, that the boot camp update would follow suit. My thought is that 7 is using a very similar build to Vista in that the difference is so slight in the build that Boot Camp thinks that it is Vista. I have heard success stories of Windows 7 in Boot Camp 2.1

    Boot Camp doesn't install the drivers. You have the drivers on a separate USB device if you followed directions. Once in Windows connect the USB drive with the driver software. It should startup automatically and install the drivers.
    You don't even need to do that. As downloading the drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant can be unreliable, it is better to get the package directly from here:

    Copy the .zip file to a USB flash drive or burn it to a DVD in OS X. Install Windows as normal, insert the flash drive/DVD in Windows, copy the .zip file to the hard drive, extract it, then run the setup executable.

  • Can i just partition my HD by using boot camp 4.0.1 without install window?

    Can i just partition my HD by using boot camp 4.0.1 without install windows?
    cox i want to use rEFIt to boot up my pendrive to install windows.
    Due to some reason the boot camp 4.0.1 cannnot detect my usb drive (that contained windows 7), so thats why i use the rEFIt to boot from my usb drive

    Yes, you can.
    Let the BootCamp Assistant just make the partition and do not click on "Install Windows"-button.
    The result is a preformatted FAT32-partition on your Mac.

  • 17" MacBook Pro Core i5 Boot Camp Nvidia 64 bit driver install issue

    Can't get correct Nvidia driver to install on 17" MacBook Pro core i5. Windows 7 64 bit is installed and running but its using a standard VGA driver for the video card so the full resolution of the display is unatainable. I've loaded the snow leopard windows 64 bit drivers, downloaded the BootCamp 3.1 64bit drivers and installed but each time I try to run it the Nvidia part of the installer closes with the error, you are trying to use a 32bit uninstaller for a 64bit program, and it exits. I've double checked to make sure I have the 64bit driver installer instead of the windows 7 32bit installers but I still get the error every time. I then downloaded Nvidias own driver for windows 7 64bit Gt 330M and it gets the same error. Please help?

    A number of people in this and other forum threads have reported problems with the Nvidia drivers when installing Windows 7 (64bit) on the new Macbook Pro (April 2010).
    The problems appear to be due to an installation of Boot Camp 3.0, followed by the update to Boot Camp 3.1. As Boot Camp 3.0 does not include the Nvidia graphics drivers for the
    Macbook Pro 2010, the graphics card is not recognized and the subsequent update to Boot Camp 3.1 does not complete successfully.
    The proper approach consist of installing Boot Camp 3.1, which is included in the system disk that shipped with the laptop. A copy of that version was posted e.g. here
    http://files.me.com/jason_fearing/an51fn. One should not use on the Macbook Pro 2010 the Boot Camp version 3.0 that shipped with the original DVD of Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
    I had the same problems that were reported in the forum, when installing Boot Camp 3.0 + Boot Camp 3.1 update on Windows 7 (64bit). First I had to manually run the 64bit Boot Camp setup, as suggested by others, and then I had to install the Nvidia drivers with the modified INF files from http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/, as the graphics card was not recognized.
    However when I used the proper Boot Camp 3.1 that came with the laptop, everything went completely smoothly and the installation consisted of just clicking on the setup file.

  • HT5634 boot camp 3.1 will not install

    I have upgraded my operating system to Windows 7 Ultimate from Windows Vista Ultimate.  When I use apple update on the windows operating system, it shows that there is an update for boot camp.  I have bootcamp 3.0 and the update is 3.1.  However, after downloading 3.1 and restarting the computer, the 3.1 update does not install.  Why is this happening and what do I do to correct it?  Thanks

    i was trying to download windows 7 on mac book air 10.8.2.seems like i didnt copy my windos disk on the usb properly at the begining,so after the boot camp steps the screen is black and telle me to put the write disk.
    eventually i made a coorect usb windows 7 and put it back to continue as it was saying so,but there is no change and the screen still is dark and says no bootable disk ,insert.
    how to solve the problem?

    Right now I have 6 different systems installed. Windows XP, 7, and 8 plus Linux Mint, Commodore, and OS X Snow Leopard (for old times sake), all running on Mountain Lion.
    I recommend reading the user manual as it greatly helps getting through the steps, however an intuitive person should pick it up fairly easily.
    Thanks to BobTheFisherman for the link.
    There are other ways to get Windows on a Mac but I'm a big fan of open-source software.
    Give it a try. You might like it or it may not be your cup of tea.

  • I could not install the upgrade for iTunes and Error message said "can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing" Reinstallling has not helped. Is it Apple's fault?

    I could not install the upgrade for iTunes and Error Message said " Can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing". Reinstalling has NOT helped. . Is the fault with the Apple iTunes upgrade?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
