Can I install Windoze XP by itself  on my Macbook on a seperate hard drive?

I would like to have Windoze XP installed on a dedicated drive, w/o Leopard. Is that possible? Whats the procedure?
I appreciate your help!
Captain

I don't know why you want to do that, but have you tried just putting the Windows CD in the drive and directing it to install on your dedicated drive?

  • Can I install my time machine back up onto a properly formatted external hard drive?

    I have a MacBook Pro with a 750GB harddrive, with 500+ Gb of data on it.  Just before I traverse to Europe, I did a TimeMachine back up. 
    I now want to give my Mac to a friend, and buy a AirMac when I get home.  Even if I get the one with the largest drive it will not hold the full 500+'back up. 
    I have an 8 year old Mac Book pro at home as well.  It will be a few months before I can buy the new AirMac. So my question is ....
    Can I install my current backup on a properly formatted external hard drive, and will it then run like a computer --until I get my new AirMac?
    Thanks for your help (and please don't be too tough on me for what may see to de a dumb question)

    The Time Machine backup is not bootable
    You will have to install Leopard first

  • Can I install snow leopard twice on the same computer but with different hard drives, using the individual license?

    I want to install snow leopard in my macbook (late 2006), but Im going to change my hard drive in two months. So i dont know if I have to wait for my new hard drive or not.

    You're not breaching the licence (if I read your question correctly) as the OS will only be residing on one computer at once. Re-installing after changing the HD is a normal procedure.
    Although the easiest way to do that is to put the new HD in an external enclosure, format it for Mac and clone the existing drive to it using the Restore function in Disk Utility or one of the backup cloning applications like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper.
    Then swap the drives and you're up and running instantly.

  • Can I download music and pictures from 2 different MacBooks onto one external hard drive?

    I have looked around for the community, but have not found an answer here.  Both my wife and I have 2 seperate MacBooks, but we wanted to put all of my pictures and music and all of her music and pictures onto one external hard drive.  I read on another board that we can, but only if we purchase a Mini.  Is it possible to do that without having to purchase a Mini?  Or is purchasing a Mini the only way to be able to do that?  Thanks in advance for any replies!

    There is no reason that you cannot use a common external HDD for your communal data.  Naturally you would have to disconnect it from one MBP and then connect it to the other when you wish to access the data or perform a download.  
    Any compatible external HDD will do, but make certain that you format it in Disk Utility to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Ciao.

  • Can somebody please advise urgently... I backed up my entire hard-drive of my macbook pro - just prior to installing osx mountain lion. I put everything into a folder on my desktop - then backed it up onto an external drive. Once this was done - i deleted

    Can somebody please advise urgently...
    I backed up my entire hard-drive of my macbook pro - just prior to installing osx mountain lion.
    I put everything into a folder on my desktop - then backed it up onto an external drive. Once this was done - i deleted the folder off my desktop - and  following this - things started to go all weird...pages hanging, the coloured 'wheel of death' appeared for ages. So i had to employ a 'hard-boot' restart - as i had not other options.
    I'm pretty sure i made copies of of files/apps/folders etc - however not so sure now as i cant even start up my laptop!!!
    Can somebosy please help me urgently??!!!

    Got the exact same problem, and I also did this operation many times before, from 500Gb to 750Gb, and then from 750Gb to 1 Gb. Not My HD got a little such complaining about bad sectors when in windows bootcamp, but still runs fine though.
    So I bought a new 1Gb drive exactly same drive as the one thats getting sick. I did the clone thing, with super duper, CCC, DU, but no matter it will not boot when i move the new drive inside the macbook…….**** thing exuse me, but wasted so much time.
    Now I get this strange feeling that something must have changed in the macbook itself. Just wondering if this could be a EFI "mac bios" prevention thing, they made just to sell more new computers, when you can't improve or fix your old one.
    If so, then its pretty scary. If not then I simply can't figure out why this suddenly becomes a problem for so many people, as I see so many posts about this!!

  • Can I install one 8 GB ram in a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011).

    Can I install one 8 GB ram in a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011).  The other slot is not working, I have only one slot that works. It is stated in this link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270#link1 , that the maximum memory is 8 GB where every slot slot has 4 Gb.  Is there any problem if i install only one 8 Gb ram in the working slot ?

    You should be able to do that.
    Maximum Memory
    16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots
    2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
    Understand that there is no guarantee it will work, but based on the above it should work for you.

  • Can I install Mac OS X 10.5 on a Powerbook G4 already running Mac OS X 10.6? I lost my disc of 10.6 and can only find my 10.5 disc as I'm selling my MacBook and wiping the hard drive for a complete reset.

    A PowerBook G4 can't run Snow Leopard OS 10.6, however, it can run Leopard OS 10.5. But you must use a retail (black) Leopard install DVD.
    What does the selling of your MacBook have to do with installing Leopard on your PowerBook?

  • Can i install os x mountain lion in another macbook air with my apple id?

    Can i install os x mountain lion in another macbook air with my apple id?

    It depends. If you purchase an OS upgrade it can be installed on up to 5 devices that are registered with your ID. However if you purchase a computer with that OS you cannot install it on other computers you own. The OS that comes with your computer is tied to the computer and not your ID.
