Here is a link to the Microsft Knowlage Base for XP install problems, I take it that you have checked all the usual suspects? Componants, power and compatability?

I have an I Mac june 2009 24" type 9.1 can I install win 7 pro 64 bit via bootcamp?

I had Win XP servicepack 3 installed via bootcamp. Recent OSX updates changed bootcamp and it supports now only Win 7.
I was not informed about this change.
So to be able to use my Win XP applications again I bought Win 7 Pro 64 bit OEM.
The Cd wil work until I have to install and format the new ceated partition.
I cannot choose between FAT or NTFS the installation continues and Woindows will be unpacked.
The counter remains on (0)
Nothing happens further
What is wrong?
PLS somebody with a solution?

Has Apple the right to claim what an owner of an IMac may run on his computer and wat not?

Blue screen when installing Win XP Pro on Satellite A100-211

Hi all.
I'm started to get really desperate here!! I've just bought my new Satellite A100-211 and now I want to install my own copy of Windows XP Professional (since the notebook ships with XP Home). But, when I try to boot from my Win Xp Pro CD (with no SP1 or SP2 integrated), i get a blue STOP screen just as the setup application reaches the "Setup is starting Windows" phase!! The STOP message states something about a file named "pci.sys".
I don't know what is wrong or how to install XP Pro!! It should be so simple! I even tried getting the SATA drivers from intel and load them at the windows XP Pro install setup (with F6) with a floppy, but I still get the same blue screen at the same stage of the setup!!
Can anybody PLEASE help me??? Can anyone explain how can I install Win XP Pro on this notebook???
Thanks very much in advance!! I'm really really freaking out with this
Octavio.

Hi
Did you get this error message?
"stop error 0x7E in Pci.sys"
I have found information on the Microsoft website that you need the latest Microsoft service pack.

Did you download and install the Bootcamp Windows Support software according to the Bootcamp Installation Guides? http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
There is a Bootcamp Forum here. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp
You should ask Bootcamp questions there. The moderators may move this thread to the Bootcamp Forum.

Problem installing Win XP Pro SP2 on 2008 Mac Pro running 10.6.8

Okay, I have never setup or ran a bootcamp partition so I apologize in advance for my ignorance on the subject. I have been attempting to install win xp pro (SP2). I am using the Boot Camp Assistant v3.0.4. I have created a 32GB FAT32 partition and at the point I click Continue Installation (with the XP Pro disc in the drive) the computer reboots to supposedly install.
What happens instead is I get a revolving censorship/ban circle icon, folder with question mark and apple logo. It just continuously will flash between those 3 icons until I restart.
Here's what I've tried...
-removing all other drives. I'm attempting to install on the boot drive which is in bay 1.
-removed all external devices only things plugged in are my usb keyboard and DVI monitor
-deleting and recreating the partition
-I have the xp pro cd in the top drive and the snow leopard cd in the bottom drive (both internal cd/dvd drives)
Computer:
Model Name:          Mac Pro
Model Identifier:          MacPro2,1
Processor Name:          Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed:          3 GHz
Number Of Processors:          2
Total Number Of Cores:          8
L2 Cache (per processor):          8 MB
Memory:          10 GB
Bus Speed:          1.33 GHz
Boot ROM Version:          MP21.007F.B06
SMC Version (system):          1.15f3
No matter what I try I am met with the same results. I have held down the option key and manually selected the windows xp cd. It seems to be booting but immediately turns off my DVI monitor which, well, makes it impossible for me to actually know what is happening. I do have a nvidia GeForce 8800 which only has two DVI ports off the back. I do have the adapter and an old VGA monitor I could pull out of the attic but would rather not unless that is my only option. Can someone in the community please point me in the right direction?
Many, many, many thanks!
Curtis
OKC, OK

Update: my problem was solved by getting my VGA monitor out of the attic. Once windows was done and I ran the setup.exe off the Snow Leopard CD, all of the drivers were updated to allow me to switch back over to my apple cinema display.
Also, I did need to hold down the option key to select the windows CD to install...and again to select the windows partition to boot but so far everything is going well with Bootcamp 3.0.4 and XP SP2...other than it is windows.

Installing Win 7 Pro as VM on Macbook Pro with 128G SSD

Hi there,
I've been searching for some good tips about installing Win 7 Pro as a VM on my new Macbook Pro (4GB i7 version) with a 128 SSD.
Here is what I have and need to achieve:
I have Parallel 6 to set up the VM;
Win 7 Pro 32-bit or 64-bit.
Needs: I only plan to use the Win 7 VM for these:
1. Run MS Office 2010 Pro Plus -- For compatibility reasons, I just have to use the Window's version of Office, Office 2011 for Mac is not an option for me;
2. I use video conference a lot, so I need to be able to control the built-in Webcam and Mic of my Macbook Pro from the Windows side, any speical driver I need?
3. I need to share some files between Mac and Win, but I guess the VM works fine for this kind of task.
3. As you can see, I only have limited hard drive space, any foreseeable issue with what I need to install?
Any tip is much appreicated!

You should probably post the Parallels forums: http://forums.parallels.com

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
Stefan

No bootable device issue when installing Win 7 Pro 64 with OSX 10.8.3

Trying to install Win 7 Pro 64 on brand new iMac running 10.8.3.
Using external LaCie optical drive to read Win 7 OEM DVD installer.
Using Bootcamps Assistant, I can create the Windows partition but then when the iMac restarts to insatll Windows, I get a black screen with the message No Bootable device found.
Seems the iMac is not able to boot from the LaCie external drive.
Have tested the LaCie on both a mac and a PC and it works fine.
This iMac can see the drive and its contents in OSX but can't seem to boot to it to install Win 7.
How do I get a round this?
I have done dozens of dual boots using bootcamp but all with Macs that have built in optical drives. Have never had this much trouble.

I just got this working - finally!
My solution was to download the Win7 ISO file from microsoft and then use BootCamp Assistant to create a USB ISO. From there, I was able to boot to that "disk" and install Windows. I read a variety of posts some saying that you cannot use an external DVD drive, others saying that you could but it had to be an Apple SuperDrive. In any case, the ISO download worked and I would recommend that approach.

About T420 Fn keys after install Win 8 pro

Few days ago, I installed Win 8 pro on my T420 and found that I can't use my Fn keys like bluetooth.
Does anyone have similar issue??

Hey there fowen & flrkd,
After some research I found some possible options that may help recover functionality of those FN keys.
Here is an update to help bring back functionality of FN keys. http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS029026.
Alternatively, it may also require a power management update.

How can I install Win XP on Satellite U300-150 PSU30e

How can i install win xp on U300-150 / Model : PSU30e
I try to boot from CD Win XP SP2 but cannot not detect any HDD.
How can i do it ?
There is no option on bios for SATA support or IDE
please help me

Hey buddy
You will not find any SATA or IDE settings in the BIOS. The problem is that you have not installed the SATA driver which is necessary to install the XP on this notebook.
The key is Intel Matrix Storage Manger!
The Storage Manager has to be included into the Windows XP OS during the setup procedure using the button F6.
At the other hand you could include the Storage Manger using the free application called nLite.
Search a little bit in this forum. There are enough threads and postings regarding this theme.

Can't install win 7 using boot camp in Lion

Hi !
help please!!
i can't install win 7 (any version) on my MBP 13", i'm running Lion and that's when it all started!
had no problem on SL using boot camp and win 7 but now my win 7 installation just stops on last
install step screen and that screen is there forever...

Are you trying to install the 64 bit version of Windows 7? I get exactly the same problem. I'm going to try the 32bit version and see how I get on. I don't think 64 bit is supported just yet.

Can i install samsung 850 pro 1 tb solid state drive in my "macbook pro 2012 mid".

Hi, anyone know. can i install samsung 850 pro 1 tb solid state drive in my "macbook pro 2012 mid". any compatibility issues?

"In addition to TRIM, I just stumbled on this discussion. One of the posters is having some odd difficulties with that combination."
Yup and that's why I've avoided any 3rd party SSDs.
I only deal with:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC
I've done 6 so far and no problems at all; formatting, installing nothing. Total no brainer. I did have a small formatting problem on my last one but I called them and solved the problem before the guy got on the phone. He immediately offered a return sticker (RMA) but I didn't need it and the MBP is running fine.

Install Win 7 Pro on Envy m6-1225dx

Recently purchased an Envy m6-1225dx and immediately installed win 7 pro like I have on many other laptops only to find NO driver support from HP? If I list the Hardware IDs does anyone know where to find the drivers?

Hi:
All of the W7 x64 drivers and software from this model will also work on yours.
DO NOT USE ANY BIOS OR FIRMWARE DOWNLOADS FROM THIS LINK.
