Bootcamp requires that your computer is running Windows 7?

After installing Windows XP SP2 on a 30GB FAT32 partition I can't get past a message that says 'Bootcamp requires that your computer is running Windows 7'.  I have ejected the Windows XP disc and insteted the Mac OS X install disc to install the Bootcamp drivers and then see this message.  I have a new MacBook Pro 13" with the 2.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 and 320 GB harddrive.  Am I doing something wrong? Or is XP excluded from Bootcamp?
Thanks in advance for any help.

XP & Vista are no longer supported, you will have to install Win7, and when you do your partition will need to be larger (50G min) and formatted as NTFS

  • How do you know if your computer is running 64 Bit?

    How do you know if your computer is running 64 Bit?

    That's actually a kind of complicated question. Strictly speaking, there's no such thing as "running 64-bit".
    That aside, Intel Core 2 Duo processors and late-model Xeons all have chips that have the Intel EM64T instructions set (64-bit extensions developed by AMD and later adopted by Intel), so they are capable or executing those added 64-bit instructions.
    In the Leopard OS, most of the system software has been compiled to make use of 64-bit libraries, but at the same time, 32-bit versions are included for compatibility with pre-Leopard software. So, at any given time you can have software running that uses only the 32-bit instructions, or uses the 64-bit instructions.
    Now, albeit the 64-bit libraries are capable of addressing a 64-bit address space, until recently, iMacs and Mac notebooks used Intel chipsets (not the CPU, but the chips that connect the CPU to the other parts of the computer) couldn't address more than the 32-bit address space (a portion of which was reserved, which is why you couldn't use more than 3G of RAM in those Macs).
    So, based on that you can ask these questions to see if you are running in 64-bits:
    Is the computer a G5 Power PC, Xeon, or Core 2 Duo CPU? If no, you are 32-bit, else go on...
    Are you using OS X 10.5 or later? If no, you are 32-bit, else go on...
    Does the application "require OS X 10.5 or later" or does it advertise that it's a "64-bit" application? If no, the application is probably 32-bit.
    On OS X 10.5 and later, most of the pre-installed Apple-branded software uses the 64-bit versions of the libraries, so they can be said to be "64-bit".

  • I am trying to use a website that requires that my computer have the lastest version of Java, which I have updated and installed, however Firefox does not recon

    I am trying to use a website that requires that my computer have the latest version of Java, which I have updated and installed Java 7 Update 51 (64-bit), however Firefox does not recognize that I even have Java on my computer. My computer is 64-bit
    When I run "Verify Java Version" it show nothing is installed... but it is, I know that for a fact because it shows in my "Control Panel/Programs/Programs and Features".
    When I go back to the Java Download page, the following message is visible:
    "We have detected you may be viewing this page in a 32-bit browser. If you use 32-bit and 64-bit browsers interchangeably, you will need to install both 32-bit and 64-bit Java in order to have the Java plug-in for both browsers."
    My question is this:
    Is there a way to change my Firefox browser from 32-bit to 64-bit.... because it appears that this is way Java is not functioning properly?

    Firefox needs 32-bit plugins, so you'll need to install 32-bit Java for Firefox.
    No, you can't change Firefox from 32-bt to 64-bit. There is a Nightly 64-bit version (alpha) of Firefox, but it is used only to test for regressions until development is resumed.

  • Error Messge: Final Cut Pro requires that your system have a CPU type of G5

    I recently updated my OS to 10.5.8. I also downloaded AVID codec for quicktime. Then, when I went to open FCP on my MacBook Pro (2.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo), I was hit with the error message Final Cut Pro requires that your system have a CPU type G5; this system has a CPU type of G4. I've never had a problem running FCP on this laptop. Any suggestions? Help!

    Also, I found another person who posted with a similar problem and here's what he wrote, (but curiously, he doesn't state what the fix was to his problem).
    After 1 and a half hours of support from Ireland it came out that some llibrary setting
    was conflicting with the startup of FCP. Apple did not hear of this problem before. I wonder
    how many macbookpro users have the same issue...

  • HT2905 Most all of my 1700 songs have been duplicated in iTunes. I have downloaded the instructions how to delete the duplicates but it says "sort by the date you added" and i have no column that says that. I am running windows xp.

    Most all of my 1700 songs have been duplicated in iTunes. I have downloaded the instructions how to delete the duplicates but it says "sort by the date you added" and i have no column that says that. I am running windows xp.

    Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

  • Is it possible to have a phone line connected to a Mac Mini (OS X10.8.2) so you can use your computer with Parallels (Windows xp) to dial into a modem to download data being collected and stored at the remote location?

    Is it possible to have a phone line connected to a Mac Mini (OS X10.8.2) so you can use your computer with Parallels (Windows xp) to dial into a modem to download data being collected and stored at the remote location?

    Hi, do you mean a real Dial-up Modem as in the old days?
    As I recall, the Apple USB Modem won't work in 64 bit OSes, but there are others that will, I think this is one of them...

    Or is the Modem on the other end Cable/DSL/FiberOptic?

  • "Motion requires that your system have a Quartz Extreme capable video card"

    Today, I opened Motion after 3 weeks away from my computer. In mid-December, it worked fine. Today, Motion would not start, instead popping up a dialog box saying "Motion requires that your system have a Quartz Extreme capable video card."
    Hmm. Nothing changed except maybe a Software Update over the past 3 weeks. After a few panicky minutes, I realized it was worth restarting the machine, and that fixed it.
    Why did it happen? Probably because, before I left for a holiday, I unplugged my Cinema LED monitors (to save energy costs). When I returned to the machine today, plugged in their power cables and started working.
    Somehow, Motion was triggered to protest that I didn't have the right display hardware, but, thankfully, a restart fixed the problem.

    Thanks for sharing...

  • I would like to run a stock analysis program called Toolkit 6 on my Macbook Pro, but it only works on the Windows platform.  Is there software that allows me to run Windows applications on the Mac?

    I would like to run a stock analysis program called Toolkit 6 on my Macbook Pro, but it only works on the Windows platform.  Is there software that allows me to run Windows applications on the Mac?

    Yes it's MS Windows! You will need a license of MS Windows (preferable Windows 7) and from there you can decide on the strategy for running Windows on your iMac. You can use Boot Camp (you already have this) or you use virtualization software such as Parallels or Fusion. For your situation I'd recommend virtualization software. However for only one program I'd do some due diligence to see if there is a OS X version. You can start with the App store or simply use Google to search.

  • I recently upgraded to Lion and i find that my computer is running slow and applications are crashing.  For example I have Word 2011 for Mac and it crashes all the time I end up losing my work.  It often happens when I'm in notebook trying to record.

    i recently upgraded to Lion and i find that my computer is running slow and applications are crashing.  For example I have Word 2011 for Mac and it crashes all the time I end up losing my work.  It often happens when I'm in class using notebook and when I press record my computer starts thinking and it freezes.
    Also, I feel that it overheats often and my battery runs out pretty quickly.  I had the macbook (black) and this never happened before.  I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if there is something with my computer.I bought my computer summer 2010, I don't think this should be happening. Please Help......

    This is exactly what keeps happening to mine too.  I was at a conference taking notes, and I was
    using the Notebook template, and doing some audio recording simultaneously.  About 3 hours into the conference (not consistently recording, but on and off with the sessions) my file wouldn't save anymore, saying something like "File cannot be modified while in use with another program" and "Invalid file name" when I would go back into my folder to look for it). I tried installing some updates from Microsoft, and when I restarted, I was at least able to open my old notes again, and so far it looks like the audio was working.  However, today at the conference, the same thing happened again, but I wasn't actively recording any audio (though after I had copy and pasted my second file of notes into the original, I went back to using it after re-naming it). 
    Does the crash happen to you under similar cirucumstances?  The update might help a little, but it is definitely not the solution.  Does anyone have any solutions?  Lion shouldn't be this buggy... I moved to Mac to get away from the garbage of bugs and compatibility issues...
