Can I install windows XP in bootcamp if my mac has 10.9.2?

can I install windows XP in bootcamp if my mac has 10.9.2? Should I just spend the money to get windows 7 and just chaulk it up to more money wasted on gaming?
Thanks

No.
You can run it with a virtual machine. If you want to use Boot Camp you need a newer version of Windows.

If I install windows 7 via bootcamp can we both switch to windows?
Thanks in advance

How to install windows xp on bootcamp on new Mac mini?

How can i install windows xp on bootcamp on new Mac mini?
I know that i should get an external usb optical drive, but buying such hardware for one use is a waste of money. Is there any other method?
I currently own a MacBook white, and really like the configuration. I it possible to copy the image of bootcamp to new mac mini? If so, what will happen to hardware and drivers?

Let me get this right:
1- copy the exact image of the winxp installation dc to USB
2- start bootcamp assistant, go through everything, till rebooting
3- boot from USB (hold ALT and select the USB volume)
4- go through winxp setup and done!
Am I missing anything?
I think that USB would be readable only on Mac os or winxp, but will the winxp installer read from USB?
Correct me if wrong.
Having read further websites, I am now a bit more dubious you can do this, at least with an XP installer.
However if you have a USB memory stick and an existing Windows computer (even a Boot Camp one) or can borrow one you could try using the free WinToFlash utility to make a supposedly bootable USB memory stick of the installer. See http://wintoflash.com/overview/en/
The problem is XP predates EFI firmare and XP only really knows BIOS firmware. As such (supposedly) XP would have problems booting from a USB device fully - it might lose connection part way through. Windows Vista and 7 do support EFI firmware.
The other approach I mentioned of temporarily moving the hard disk from the Mini to the MacBook so you can use the MacBook internal CD/DVD drive would work - be careful of the cables. Fortunately a new Mac mini and an old MacBook are two of the easier models to get at the hard disk. See http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook-Core-2-Duo-Hard-Drive-Replacement/514/1 (they also list other MacBook models) and http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing-Mac-Mini-Mid-2011-Hard-Drive-Replacement/ 6422/1
Regardless of which method you try, the first step would be on the Mac mini to run Boot Camp Assistant and to create the partition for Windows. Then via either method try booting from a Windows XP installer.
As I have taken Macs apart many times, I personally might go the swapping the hard disk over route.

Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air. In bootcamp i allocate the partition then i click install and bootcamp will not see the disk.

Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?

I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?

Hi, can I install windows XP with bootcamp on my iMac which is now on Maverick? Please help.

Hello all, can I install windows XP with bootcamp on my iMac which is now on Maverick? Please advise. Thank you.

Install 7. Don't bother with applying drivers and such, just reboot again from DVD and install again, it will see the existing system and this time activation will be possible.
Vista is mess, takes longer etc. Hope you have SP1 version of 7. And for Vista, only SP2+ are even supported now, by MS.

Can i install windows 7 with bootcamp on imac with flash storage

can i install windows 7 with bootcamp on imac with flash storage

Yes, you can. The type of storage on which you install is not relevant, as long as it is connected to an 'internal' storage control. Windows licensing restricts its installation on external/portable disks. Windows-to-go is the only legal means to do that.

HT5639 can i install windows xp with bootcamp

can i install windows xp with bootcamp? Which version bootcamp should I go for?

Depending on which Mac mini you have and your OS X version, you can install Windows XP or not in Boot Camp.
First, open  > About this Mac, and tell me what OS X version you have. If it's 10.7 or 10.8, you can't install Windows XP. Also, if you have a Mid 2011 or newer Mac mini, you can't install it too. In this case, you have to use Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox, and install Windows XP on a virtual machine.
If you have 10.5 or 10.6, you can install Windows XP in Boot Camp. Have a look at this website to see which Boot Camp version you need > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634

Can I install windows home server 2011 on a mac mini?

Hey guys and girls...
Can I install windows home server 2011 on a mac mini? If so how?

WHS is 64-bit. Genius are really not versed in Boot Camp or Windows, let alone anything not on the "approved" list of Windows versions.
Most of the problems are with burning ISO, or the SuperDrive. It should have seen the NTFS partition. Disk Utility is known to be trouble, burning it on your Mac Mine but iwth Windows 7....?
Seeing you have Windows 7, format the partition to NTFS 160GB you want and then exit and boot WHS installer.
Or run the install from Windows 7.
In past, WHS supported TimeMachine, streaming video, supported iTunes (that was broken/disabled it seems by Apple with 10.0), as well as even SuperDuper backups.
Main idea is to have some network attached drives.

I have both a ISO and Burned it to a dvd useing windows 7 built in ISO burning software, Its a 64 bit copy (got from microsoft download website from my dads microsoft account).
It is enouth for the OS but it runs slowish on the mac mini (latest core 2 duo 2.4ghz model) The Idea was to have it backup my pc and laptop to a usb drive and act as a media centre pc (connected to av receaver and tv and on a gigabit network with a 2TB nas)
Since it looks like this may not work, whats the best way to make it into a media centure? mac osx? windows 7? plex? whats best and good?
I'd avoid USB like the plague. Why not use your PC instead? If I was going to use a Mini for WHS, I'd just use the Mini solely for Windows and not have OS X (you can boot OS X off an external drive anyway).

"At least 16 GB of free space on the disk onto which you’re installing for 32-bit, or 20 GB for 64-bit (for Microsoft Windows and Windows-based applications)."
That's what Apple proposes in here Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows
Personally I would double these amounts and add to that the diskspace needed for your Windows games.

Can I install windows 7 in bootcamp using my USB disc on my 2011 macbook pro.?

I want to install windows 7 on my macbook pro via bootcamp.
I have the windows installation files on my usb disc. (200gb usb disc)
Can I install windows using only my usb, or do I have to burn the windows files to a DVD?

Look here for a way to do it like a 2011 MBAir is set up for.
If you get it to work it will un-dim the option to create the W7 installer and Boot Camp drivers on the USB drive automatically.
I got it to un-dim for my 2010 MacPro.

Can I install Windows 8 through bootcamp without previously having Windows 7 or any sort of Windows?

I have a 13.3" Macbook Pro that doesn't seem to like Windows 8. It did not previously have and patition/Windows side. I bought the full version of Windows 8 for $199.99 and hope I do not regret it. The mac does not have a disk drive, so I use an external CD drive aka Apple's Superdrive. I tried to Bootcamp, but when it was trying to swap to Windows, the screen turned white, then black, then white, then black again with a little blinking underscore in the top left corner. It stayed like that for 10 hours until I got sick of it and restarted. It did the white screen, then black screen with this time a message saying "No bootable device-insert boot disk and press any key." and nothing else. I restarted again, disconnecting the CD drive and USB drive. This time, I held down the option key and went back to the Mac side. I got rid of the partition and tried a couple more times but to no avail, so could any of you please give me some advice? Thanks.
I am not sure whether the problem is the external CD drive, the lack of any type of Windows, or its a weird glitch.
P.S. i went to the Apple Store to see if they could do anything but they said the software with the Bootcamp for Windows 8 wasn't out yet:( But i've heard rumors of some tweaks people have made to get Windows 8 on it.

If you want to use Bootcamp then Windows 8 is not supported as Shootist007 has already stated. There are no Windows 8 Boorcamp drivers.
You can use a virtual machine like Fusion, Parallels, or VirtualBox to install Windows 8. This may be a work-around for you until the Windows 8 Bootcamp drivers become available.

Can I install Windows 7 with Bootcamp without a disk

I purchased Windows 7 Home Premium when I also purchased Parallels 7. My main objective was to use the Windows partition for games that Mac doesn't have (Everquest II for example). I had no trouble installing Windows with Parallels but the games I want to play work very poorly on the virtual machine. Is there any way that I can junk Parallels and install Windows using Bootcamp? Note: Windows was downloaded from the Parallels web site. I am using a MacBook Pro with Lion, early 2011, Intel 2.2 GHz i7 processor with 4 GB memory. Another 4GB memory is in the mail but hasn't arrived yet. All software is up to date. Another question. Would upgrading to Mountain Lion solve the problem? Please, if there is anyone who knows the answer, give me instructions on how to ditch Parallels for Bootcamp. Thanks.

You can install Windows in BootCamp (it will be a fresh installation) and you can remove the existing VM installation. Windows will run faster in Boot Camp than it will in a VM (parallels is a VM).
Please note that MacBook Pro's have 2 ram slots, and they will both be occupied with a 2G chip in a standard configuraton, there will be nowhere to install the other 4G that is in the mail. Return it and order 2 x 4G chips and remove the 2 x 2G chips already fitted.

Can't install Windows 7 with bootcamp assistant 5.0.2

I want to install Windows 7 (new valid licence, no upgrade) under Bootcamp on a new iMac. After pressing Install in the assistant, an error message follows: Windows-installation disc not found. The installation disc is in the drive on my other Mac. I've made a connection with this Mac. I see the drive and the disc in the Finder on my new iMac, and can browse it with Finder. I've tried several times, but to no avail: this error keeps popping up.
Who can help me out?

What year/model is this Mac? If you select the first and second option, can you create the USB with a Windows ISO and BC drivers?
Unless you have a valid BC partition on your disk, the last option will not work.
Please post the output from Terminal of the following commands.
diskutil list
diskutil cs list
sudo fdisk /dev/disk0

Can't install windows on my bootcamp after getting a trojan

I've had my Mac for about ...4 or 5 years now and I love it, but I am a gamer. So about a year or two ago I partitioned with bootcamp and installed windows so could play an MMO. It worked fine and i've been very happy with it. Just a few days ago I got a Trojan on the windows partition. After being unable to remove the Trojan with just virus removal software, I completely removed windows from the system. I was concerned that the trojan would get to my Mac portion, but it seems to be fine and I haven't experienced any problems at all. Well, I'm trying to redownload windows and bootcamp lets me partition the system, and it runs completely through the windows installation, but once the installation is completely finished I get a black screen with just a blinking white line on it. It won't let me do anything else until I completely shut down the system. So far I've reached this screen twice. I don't really understand why it isn't working unless it has to do with the Trojan, because this is the same install disk and process that I went through the first time and didn't have any problems with. It gets really frustrating having the computer installing stuff for an hour or more and then finding out it failed! One time I even got an error report.
What do I do? Any suggestions or anything? I don't need to do much, I use my mac for everything except playing games. I never even downloaded office or anything onto the windows side. Unfortunately, my MMO's are not Mac supported. I'm getting really fed up.
(Also, I'm on a laptop and I have Leopard OS)
I THINK it's 10.5.5, but my computer is currently featuring a black screen (I am on a computer at work) so I can't check right now. It's def 10.5.#

I honestly have no idea how I got it. I know most people's minds immediately go to....you know..dirty things...but I have never accessed anything like that on my computer.
I installed that thing - Malwarebytes? - and it said it found a few Trojans that ended up being in the same file as the files from a game site I use, Bigfishgames.com. So I don't know if maybe I downloaded one there? I don't remember opening any suspicious emails, but I get a lot of junk mail. I also think I may have gotten it from trying to download MSN Messenger, because the link I used didn't install MSN messenger, it installed a bunch of music/ringtone/picture/clipart toolbars and things like that. How do you normally get Trojans?
@dalstott - I completely revered the partitions, which worked out fine. My problem wasn't about that, it was about repartitioning again. After repartitioning, whenever I tried to install windows back onto my computer I would receive a black screen.
I guess for now I don't need anymore help, because my dad got it to work and Windows is now working again with seemingly no bad results for now. So I'm hoping this means the Trojan is gone and that it will work fine.
Thank you everyone for your help and answers
