You can get Virtual PC for Mac and run Windows XP inside of that. Virtual PC is a PC emulator.

  • Can install Windows 7 Pro, but not Boot Camp drivers

    I have used Boot Camp assistant to install Windows 7 Pro (64 bit), and built the USB drive with Boot Camp drivers.
    Installed on a separate drive on my Mac Pro.
    When I install the drivers and reboot, I get an error. Basically Windows says there is an error and it needs to run System Restore in order to roll back to the previous status (ie. remove Boot Camp drivers).
    I am using the latest Boot Camp drivers for a Mac Pro (4,1) and 64 bit Windows.
    I tried downloading the drivers from Apple's website in Windows, unzipped and installed - same issue.
    Windows is not yet registered.... (might that be an issue?)
    Grateful for some ideas. I have previously had Win7 running on this machine, and even Win 8 (which crashed - necessitating a roll back to Win 7 whcih is nicer).
    TIA

    the drivers have a root setup.exe if people have problems with that they can manually navigate to the sub dirs and run the driver installs for the various hardware manually
    the various driver exe install will only install if they detect the hardware is there so it's safe to run installers for say a video card ones computer does not have
    and if one of the driver don't work of the hardware related to it is defect in some way you can identify which one as the restore would happen right over that driver install
    that windows is not registered should not play apart as far as I know

  • Can't install Windows 7 Pro x64 - device driver missing - can't eject DVD

    Hello,
    I am trying to install Windows 7 Pro x64 - I create the partition in boot camp and start windows install process. **During the Windows install process**, it says "A required CD/DVD device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now. Note: if the Windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can safely remove it for this step".
    Apparently the drivers are on the OSX install DVD. But, there is no way to eject the windows DVD! Why on earth is there no manual eject on Macs? Is there another way to eject? I tried to put a paperclick in the slot next to where a CD is inserted but it didn't do anything. Is there another way to get Windows to see the correct device drivers?
    I am all for clean slick designs, but when it does not have all required functionality, it is kind of useless.
    I am talking to Mac Support and they can't help.
    Looks like I will have to return this Mac, I also need to boot into full Windows (without Parallels or VMWare) to do my work.

    You don't mention what Mac you have, so I'd have to say there is almost no way to help.
    IF the 7 Pro x64 came download ISO thru EDU, you have to burn it, and if you use Disk Utility, at 2X reduced burn speed... otherwise it won't work.
    A VM isn't fussy and can use ISOs.
    If you want both native and VM, to have Windows installed on its own hard drive and use it under OS X, then you have to install it and use Boot Camp Assistant.
    I'd say it is all about your DVD media.

  • Can I install Windows XP Pro 64 bit on this specific Mac Pro?

    I have a 2x3GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon. It's not one of the newest machines. It's from the first rev of dual-quads that came out. I bought it in mid-2007.
    I'd love to install Windows XP Pro 64-bit on a second hard drive.
    - Can I install Win XP 64 on this Mac?
    - If so, what version of Win XP Pro do I need to get?
    Thanks,
    ----------S

    Hi Steve,
    in theory you can install XP 64-bit Professional, which by the way is the only version of a 64-bit XP avaiable.
    There is no 64-bit XP Home.
    BUT, since Apple does not provide any drivers for 64-bit XP, you are on your own to look and find the needed drivers for it.
    You at least need drivers from Intel (for chipset, SATA and NIC) Realtek (for audio) Microsoft (for support of HD-Audio) and ATI/NVIDIA (for graphics card).
    You will still be missing any kind of Apple specifics like Keyboard functions, but should be able to run and work with XP-64.
    Good Luck

  • Can I install Windows 7 Pro 64bit on my Machine?

    My MacPro 8 core with 6GB of RAM is running MAC OSX 10.5.8. How can I tell if I can run Windows 7 Pro via Boot camp? Is my Mac machine 32bit or 64bit?
    Thanks

    Hi Chaz,
    here's Apples official word on that http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846

  • Can I force the bootcamp wizard to skip looking for the bootcamp drivers?  I have already downloaded the latest drivers and loaded them on a FAT usb drive.  All I want is for bootcamp to create the partition and allow me to install windows 8 pro

    Hi Everyone,
    Can I force the bootcamp wizard to skip looking for the bootcamp drivers?  I have already downloaded the latest drivers and loaded them on a FAT usb drive.  All I want is for bootcamp to create the partition and allow me to install windows 8 pro.
    The bootcamp drivers have been downloaded from apple's website.  Filename:  BootCamp5.0.5033
    I have a iMac 27" late 2013 model.
    NOTE:  I have downloaded the drivers manually from apples support site as the bootcamp wizard fails third of the way through the download.
    Appreciate any assistance.
    Regards,
    asdutoit

    There is a missing point in this thread, and it is that the Boot Camp drivers for the Late 2013 iMac can only be downloaded from Boot Camp Assistant. The Boot Camp drivers available in the Apple site are not compatible with that iMac.
    Delete the Boot Camp drivers from the USB drive, open Boot Camp Assistant and try to download the Boot Camp drivers again. If you get a message telling you that they could not be downloaded, I would try reinstalling OS X through OS X Recovery, by holding down Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up

  • Can;t access Touchpad Settings - Just installed Windows 10 Pro

    I just installed Windows 10 Pro and can't access my touchpad settings to get the scolling feature back.  A short while ago, when I connected my basic Microsoft mouse, the system did install a new driver for the mouse - could this be the problem? Or is it Windows 10?  Thanks for any help you can give. Toshiba Laptop Satellite C55-B
    Windows 10 ProTouchpad Driver : 19.0.16.3 7/21/2015 SynapticsMouse Driver: Microsoft 9.5.172.0

    I had the same problem. The settings would crash. The synaptics driver update fixed that for me. However after adjusting some settings a new problem emerged. Three Finger Gestures have changed from the default Windows 10 ones to the old Synaptics gestures. There doesn't seem to be a way to change it back. I think the Synaptics driver needs another update.

  • Can not install windows 7 pro using boot camp as mouse and keyboard will not work Help please

    I have a new iMac and trying to install Windows 7 Pro using boot camp. I have reached the stage of starting to load windows from the DVD then discovered the mouse and the keyboards not working so I could not interact with windows installation.

    Open, if not so already, the Windows formatter. Identify the BC Windows partition. It will be the one listed with the proper size you created and/or will be labeled as a C: drive. Be careful you select the right one or you may be corrupting the entire drive.
    Format the partition as NTFS.

  • Install Windows 7 Pro 64bit on MacBook Pro 15" Mid 2014

    Trying to install Window 7 Pro on my new MacBook Pro 15" Mid 2014. I went through the following:
    Attempt 1: Downloading the latest bootcamp support drivers, copied on flash drive and used BCA for partitioning. Booting from Ext. DVD with USB pin drive containing the drivers inserted
    Attempt 2: Using ISO to create a bootable USB pin drive with bootcamp support drivers on the same..
    Both attempts ended being unable to pass Windows 7 language selection screen. Mouse/Trackpad/Keyboard are not working.
    Windows 8.1 pro works fine, but I'm not very happy with it..
    Any advice?

    The primary challenge is due to absence of proper drivers on the W7 installer to support the USB ports. One thing to check is if the USB is a USB2 or USB3. USB3 pen drives will not work.
    You should also try Attempt 2 using all available USB ports available, one at a time. Disconnect any other peripherals other than KM and USB before you start installation. BT devices are not very stable when used.
    If you can see any files in the Bootcamp volume from the OSX side, look for installer logs for details.
    find . -name setupact.log -print

  • Some issues after clean installing windows 7 pro 64bit

    Hi,
    I have a couple of issues, I clean installed windows 7 pro, 64bit, (vanilla) restored my license with ABR and used system update to download all the drivers. (no issues until here) But after restarting the system, I found this issues:
    1. I have to put the bios in legacy mode for system to boot. Otherwise it gives me a "no operating system found" message. Is there any way to make a proper installation for the system to boot in UEFI and LEGACY?
    2. System update didn't install thinkvantage center. (the program that stays in the taskbar). Should this be installed manually? Or system update should have installed it?
    3*. I can not use lenovo driver page of my x120e. In IE it shows me repeatedly the wizard to choose my model, although I enter the correct info there. It starts all over again and again. Tried opera, I can see the drivers page, but I can't browse, or expand none of the sections. (all I can think of this, do I need java for the page to work?)
    3*. UPDATE: After installing IE 9, java and flash player, still not working. Opera too. Google Chrome works fine.           What's the matter with IE and OPERA? What component do I need to make IE work with lenovo drivers download page?
    Can anyone help me? Never had to deal with these issues.
    Thanks in advance

    Hello,
    Have you tried wiping the hard disk drive and reinstalling Windows 7 Professional x64 from the factory recovery discs while the BIOS is set to UEFI?  If so, did that work?
