Dreamweaver 8 installation on new machine

Hi all
I've just got a new laptop and installed dreamweaver on it. I
just want to know if there is any way that you can transfer the
list of sites that i have defined on my old computer to my new
laptop? Is it something to do with the .reg key
Cheers

If you're using DW8, the easiest way is with MM-Exporter:

Windows XP installation on new machines

Hey, anybody knows if the latest Toshiba machines support Windows XP installation,
or it is commonly accepted to support only Windows 7 and later OS?
I tried to install Windows XP Pro SP3, 2008 release on Satellite C660 machine released in 2011,
and it crashed at the beginning of installation. Can it be that Bios prevents the installation,
forcing to work with Win 7?
Or some drivers are missing in XP installation pack, making XP incompatible with HW?

On this forum you will find many threads where you can find answer to your question and also good explanation how to install WXP on new notebook models.

I presume it happen because of missing SATA driver. It must be loaded with F6 before WXP installation starts. You can also create WXP installation disc with integrated SATA driver. How to do this you can read on

If you have more questions you are welcome.
By the way: have you created recovery DVD before you have started WXP installation?

CS3 Design Premium installation on new machine

Hi hoping you can advise me as I'm a recent member of the forum.
I'm running CS3 Design Premium at work (am hoping to upgrade the software later this year) and am in the process of getting a new desktop (Dell T3500, 1 intel Xeon W3680 3.06Ghz processor, 6GB Ram, 500MB HD, 1GB video card, Windows 7 64-Bit (tho they may just install XP for now)). This machine will be 'mine' for the next 5yrs so I want to make sure that I get one that will 'do the job'.
My IT dept have asked me to find out if the above software would benefit from a machine with a dual core or quad core processor, is the support out their from Adobe for quad core processors? I will admit I have no idea so thought I'd ask you guys .
Any help/advice you can give on the hardware spec would be greatly appreciated.
A.

Steve,
Thanks for getting back to me with regards to my HD query re Design Premium
- I've taken the info and forwarded it to my IT dept with some other stuff
I found through the forum.

My previous machine has Itunes Installed, and I deauthorized the machine so I unlinked to my Apple ID, if this is correct.
Anyway, Dropbox is also not connecting....so I do not know how to make it woek. please help!

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

How to move an Oracle VM Manager installation to a new machine

Hi, i currently have a VM Manager running on a multi-boot machine along with Windows. I now want to use a laptop to run VM Manager against the same VM server as my old installation. How can this be accomplished? Can i do a new fresh install and migrate the settings from the old one or can i import vm's from the VM server directly?
Or can the backup/restore option of the Vm Manager be used?

Hi, thanks again but it is not the Virtual Machine i want to migrate, it is the VM Manager instance including the Oracle XE DB with the repository containing all the info about my VM Server. The most likely solution i have been able to find is to backup the the VM Manager on my existing machine and then install a new fresh VM Manager instance on a new machine and the restore the backup to the new machine. Anybody done this with success?

What _doesn't_ transfer to new machine via target disk?

Hello,
I upgraded from an old 867 tower to a Mac Pro and during installation I transferred my old disk's files via the firewire target disk mode. Everything seemed to transfer exactly, and most applications run fine.
Most.
Recently I found that Quicken couldn't find my current financial file, and I couldn't find it anywhere on the new machine, so I had to hook the old machine back up (glad I didn't erase the disk and sell it like I'd planned!) & transferred it manually. Now, Dreamweaver can't access my website at all, & I'm not sure what settings to even look at.
What doesn't get transferred when transferring files with this method? Where should I look (and for what) when I run across these oddball flukes?
Thanks in advance for any help with this admittedly ambiguous question.
Best,
Sean

I said before that if you transfer all your PPC applications as well as contents of the /Library/ and /System/ folders you will end up losing all the benefits of the Intel machine or worse you will have to reinstall OS X. PPC software is not intended to be used on Intel Macs, especially at the system level.
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3 or G4 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior (does not work), TechTool Pro (pre-4.5.1 versions do not work), SuperDuper (newest release works), and Drive Genius (untested) may not work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

IS THE SITUATION HOPELESS
I used Target mode to transfer files to a new i7 iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 from an older Dual core Intel machine (EMC 2105) also on 10.6.8. but originally Tiger 10.4. The operation was successful and I ejected the disk icon from the new machine and powered down the old machine. When this was restarted the next day there was a grey screen with flashing Mac symbol alternating with a 'no entry' sign and occasionally a question mark.Keyboard and mouse were unusable so k inserted the original instal disc (No.1 for 10.4. with installer 1.0.4) which came with the machine in 2006 in an attempt to boot from this. The ensuing window said this was not possible and now it cannot be ejected.I have tried everything ! It offers Disk Utility and other options like Terminal but that doesn't work either.I 'repaired disk' and that was pronounced o.k. None of the various keystrokes at start up will work, and the computer will only offer the installer disc continually.The only option would seem to be is to erase the hard drive completely from the disc in the machine.I don't want to do this as there is still material which I need to recover. I think the drive has in some way been corrupted by using it in target mode, and I don't know if there are any other options to try.
Please tell me how to get this disc to eject !

Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
• I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

Dreamweaver CS6: Installation disk won't allow a change in the location of the installation folder

First, I hope the moderators will cut me some slack for making a duplicate posting. The comments below were posted in the "Creative Suites" community. I just noticed that there is a "Dreamweaver" community. I feel the issues I've raised below are more relevant to the latter.
I recently purchased a Dreamweaver CS6 installation disk and have a valid registration code. The Adobe website has recognized this code as valid.
I started-out by having the installation disk install into a folder on a high capacity (0.5 tb) external drive. This was done while my Gateway PC was still working properly. I did a duplicate installation onto this hard drive (into a separate folder) to accommodate any work I wanted to do on a Dell laptop I also own. For a few days things seemed to work ok on both computers. Then the cursor on my Gateway stopped moving. Several changes of mice failed to resolve the problem. I've written-off my Gateway as "dead." However the Dreamweaver CS6 installation MAY (I can't remember) be on a "local" folder on my Gateway and I am concerned I will have trouble installing Dreamweaver on the replacement I've purchased. I understand one is limited to 2 installations. If needed, can I purchase a license for a third installation? And what might that cost?
After turning-off my Gateway I then went to my Dell laptop to try to work with Dreamweaver there. I felt it was best to install on a "local" folder so I deleted all the Dreamweaver software from the folders on my external drive. Unfortunately the installation disk is still "pointed" to the folders on my external drive. To make matters worse I am now getting an error message which indicates I need to install into a folder on the "local" drive of my Dell laptop. But the installation disk won't allow me to change the path. On the installation disk the "path" to my external drive is faded-out and it will not allow me to delete and type-in a new path.
I've spent what, to me, are big bucks on this Dreamweaver disk. It's the only website building software that seemed to get consistently good reviews. However, for me, Dreamweaver is becoming a nightmare! I'm very much of a novice at website building. I don't know how, in the world, I will be able to a) Create something, and then b) Get Dreamweaver to put it onto what is now a blank webpage. I recently got "Dreamweaver CS6 The Missing Manual" and "Dreamweaver CS6 For Dummies." So far I haven't been able to find anything, in either of these two books, which addresses the issues I've raised here.
Somebody--please help!!
Don't know if my screen name will show up. So my name is JACK, near Old Faithfull.

Have you tried calling Adobe Customer service? They can deactivate one of your installations so that you can install and run on a new system. And perhaps they can help with your other problem, or send you to a tech support rep who can.
With regard to your use of DW, I'd strongly suggest that you take advantage of this downtime by learning as much HTML and CSS as you can absorb. Multiple sittings would be helpful. The more you know about those two, the easier DW will be for you when you eventually get it going.

I have Elements 6.0 on a an old machine which has now failed (motherboard issue). How do I re-install it from the old hard drive onto a new machine?

Can anyone help me to re-install elements 6? I have it sat on the hard drive of an old machine which has a motherboard failure. I have the serial no, and I have a hard drive caddy. What do I do?

Sorry I don’t know of any download links for PSE6. It may be worth thinking of upgrading to the latest version PSE13. It now has 64 bit support so you should see improved performance if your new machine has more than 4gb of memory (RAM)
The interface is different to PSE6 although most of the tools you are familiar with will work the same.
Why don’t you download the trial version from the link below and use it free for 30 days. If you are happy with it you can purchase from Adobe or any retailer or on-line store. No further installation is required; you simply enter your serial number to make the trial permanent. It’s a good way of ensuring a successful installation before making a commitment to purchase.

Install windows 8.1 enterprise trial on new machine

I want to install windows 8.1 enterprise trial iso from microsoft site.
Now I want to install it on new machine.
My new machine has ubuntu install and I want to clean install Windows 8.1.
How I create bootable disc from ISO ?

Hi,
If you want to clean install Windows 8.1 or other Windows, you should first have the installation media a DVD burned from the ISO file, here I give a method to burn an ISO file to a DVD in Windows 7, you can follow this way:
1.Insert a recordable CD, DVD, or Blu‑ray Disc into your disc burner.
2. Open Computer by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, and then clicking Computer.
3.In Windows Explorer, find the disc image file, and then double-click it.
4.If you have more than one disc burner, from the Disc burner list in Windows Disc Image Burner, click the burner that you want to use.
5.Click Burn to burn the disc.

After this, you can conduct a clean boot in this way :

How to install Premiere CC (not 2014) on a new machine?

Just added a new machine to the studio, and am looking for a way to install Premiere Pro CC 7.2.x.
The rest of the studio still hasn't upgraded to 2014 (and, no offence Adobe, but your track record means there's a few good months of forum-watching standing between me and a site-wide upgrade to a .0 product from you )
This machine has a new license, but I've also tried swapping licenses with another suite so that this new computer is using a CC account from the 7.x era.
I understand I'm supposed to be able to click on "More Information" in the Creative Cloud app, but that's not an option for me. Only "View Tutorials". Note that only the Premiere Pro CC 2014, and not Premiere Pro CC, appears in my Creative Cloud app, presumably because of the fresh install.
Anyone know the proper workflow here or have a direct link?

How can I get a Mac to redo the new machine setup?

Hey gang-
Is there a way to get a Mac to redo the new machine setup dialogs the way a Mac does the first time it is started out of the box? I'm selling my iBook and it would be nice for the new owner to be presented with that. I know I could do it by erasing and reinstalling the original CDs, but I'd like to include the various incremental Software Updates that I've done to save the new user the trouble.
Is there a way to get a Mac to do this?
Thanks!
Dave

John's method may work for the most part, but there are some things to be aware of that might cause problems for you or the new owner.
First, it doesn't get rid of everything you have installed or caused to be created in /Library or any of the caches except those in the /User folder. Some of the /Library items are probably things you want to pass on to the new owner, such as plug-ins that support apps. Some aren't, such as many of the /Library/Preferences items set by an admin user. Some may even contain sensitive data.
Second, you will be passing on a lot of clutter of dubious value to the new user, like logs, & any corruption of files that an Erase & Install would get rid of.
Third, Setup Assistant may or may not be designed to work & play well with updated apps & system components. This is unchartered territory. It may "undo" some of the things you want the new owner to have, or not.
Forth, if you have set up, for example, the Apache web server or any other UNIX-based service that required root or sudo access, these files will not necessarily be in their default state.
Fifth, there may be support items in /Users/Shared for both Apple & third party apps. John's step 4 will erase them.
Sixth, you need to consider OS 9 folders if you have used Classic, particularly if you have migrated anything from an older Mac. You may have user items, preferences, etc. that need to be purged.
Seventh, I probably have forgotten other things that more knowledgeable folk can fill you in on.
So, while it is possible to do what you want, it isn't really as easy as it seems. A better approach, & one that will serve both you & the new owner better in the long run, is to completely wipe the drive with a secure erase. Consider making a "bonus" CD or DVD for the new owner with all the latest updates, as a companion to the original installer set.
Something else to consider: If the Mac that you are putting up for sale did not come with Tiger, you can't include it legally in your sale unless you include the retail DVD & license you used to install it. The same is true of any apps that you might have added to the used Mac, including shareware you payed for. Aside from the ethical implications, you do not want to run into problems because of "shared" registration codes should you need them for support or upgrades.

New machine + transfer account

Hello
i just bought the new g5 tower, middle size one.
i read apples info on transferring my account from my old machine to my new one, seems simple enough, but....
a fellow subscriber said i should do the following before i migrate the account to the new machine from the old one.
Make sure G4 has 10.4.3 on it and clone drive to the new PM G5 using Carbon Copy Cloner via Firewire Target Disk mode. The Migration Assistant may not copy all files -- like important invisible ones -- in some instances.
I have other questions:
my question is will this apple automated set of migration tasks also automatically deauthorize my purchased i-tunes account on old machine and reauthorize new machine?
we have 2 external hard drives. ive read tons on people losing data or not being able to connect to their drives after migration or upgrade. Should I just unplug them during transfer from old machine or leave them plugged in? or does it not mtter?
the old machine is a powermac g4 mdd.
im scared.
when i read the lower level (more in depth) details on migration it strated talking on a level that intimidated me. things like firmware & firewire upgrades, how do i know if im supposed to upgrade firmware or not and on which machine?
basically, i am in an overall quandry. maybe i should stop worrying about all the in depth stuff and just do it and save myself anightmare.
thanks

Well, there is no evidence at all that there are specific installs. In fact, in conversations with many developers, they have told me there is no such thing. If there are problems from clones, then the original was bad. It is not about risk, at all. This forum is replete with problems from Tiger installs. Is that evidence that Tiger is bad? Of course not. I have done at least 100 clones for clients, in this fashion, and have not seen one instance of a bad insatll, or problems, from cloning. I do all the work, and I know how. It does not matter from which machine, to what machine the clone is going, either.
Now, let's discuss licensing. because someone buys a new machine, and wants to clone his old Tiger to it, this is not a violation, at all. If both machines have Tiger (not the case here, of course). But, let me say this. It is getting downright obnoxious for people with no idea, nor any standing in the issue, to keep mentioning licensing. It is irrelevant to the question, in almost all instances, and makes the writer seem pretentious and a little sanctimonious.

Yosemite down to Mavericks on new machine, possible?

I just tried Yosemite on a couple of machines (including 13' RMBP, 15' RMBP, and Late 2014 Mac mini) in the Apple Store in Hong Kong IFC, but honestly I think the new Yosemite is far from perfect as an operating system, especially for a user that has been using MacBook Air for 2 years.
The question is: Is it possible if I buy a new Mac packed with Yosemite then I downgrade to Mavericks? Is it do-able?
Background: I'm looking for a new machine to replace my home computer, right now I'm interested in the new Mac mini. But I can say the performance of the OS is really not pleasing me, it took 1 minute 13 seconds to boot up (yes, I timed). And I was told by Apple Store people that even higher-spec unit only has 30% performance improvement at most.
Thanks.

My system takes 15 seconds, so either the machine you used was not working properly or you used a really slow watch. The 2014 MBPs both come with Mavericks installed unless they are coming from the factory since the release of Yosemite in which case they most likely have Yosemite installed.
If you have a Mavericks installer for 10.9.5, then you could install it safely on the 2014 MBPs. But you will not be able to download Mavericks now that Yosemite has been released.

Moving boot camp to new machine with Parallels 10 or WinClone?

i seem to have a ton of document here but have not been able to figure a way out of my dilemma.
i have a 2006 mac pro that had two boot camp installs with one of windows 7 and one of XP. each of these are still intact on my hard drives in this computer. however, i can not see this computer on my display as there appears to be some issue with the converter that i am using for my cinema display mini display port (to get it to DVI display port on the 2006) so i cannot really DO anything with these installations other than see them when i put the disk in my new 2012.
Parallels 10 appears to have a new "boot camp" mode and i am trying to figure out if there is a way to get the boot camp installs into my 2012 as "virtual boot camp" installations. i just put one of the 2006 disks into the 2012 machine and tried this and Parallels seems to have accepted this but i am not sure if i somehow need to leave the physical boot camp install in this bay 4 or if i can just pull the disk and now i have a "virtual boot camp" install of windows 7.
ALSO, i DO have WinClone backups of both of these boot camp installations on the new machine but i believe i am supposed to run CHKDSK and Sysprep on the actual boot camp installs before trying to migrate them over to the new machine and since i cannot see anything in the old machine i can't try this. actually, i did try it back when i could see the 2006 but there was some error with the Sysprep and the thread proposing solutions was like 26 pages long.
anyway, anyone done this and have any suggestions?
THANKS

A. when you say you can boot from corresponding installation media - you are talking about my Windows 7 and Windows XP install disks?
When you installed XP or W7, you would have used either an Install DVD or a USB, or both. This is what you would need. You can recreate the USB using Bootcamp Assistant, if necessary. The only caveat would be if you subsequently upgraded to later Service Packs, and the installer was built earlier than that.
B. when you say "if your windows is already bootable" you are saying that i could put the disk in the new machine, set preferences to BOOT from the Boot Camp installation on the other disk and run the Safe Mode on this boot camp install and then manually remove drivers? also presumably i can compare the 2006 machine to the 2012 machine and see which drivers i don't have to remove? also, i am guessing here that i can try either of these (boot from media or boot into safe mode in the boot camp) despite the fact that yosemite does not support XP boot camp?
It is possible that Windows may not boot at all, due to hardware changes and driver differences. Safe Mode is a minimal driver load boot. It should be bootable. If you end with a completely un-bootable system after you move disks, then Windows Startup Repair may be necessary first. You may also need to run chkdsk. I would also recommend uninstalling any third-party NTFS software. Once Windows is fully installed, there is no interaction with Yosemite, and a minimal interaction with firmware and Apple Bootmanager which recognizes a NTFS system.
C. can you help me with the terminology here? you ask if any of my "W7/WXP" disks have a version of OS X co-resident". at one point i had what i understood to be JUST an XP install on my 2006 machine on a hard drive which i still have. i don't know if this was installed "under" some OS but as far as i know i /just/ had a boot camp installation of XP on this disk. is this possible? if so, what do i call it? ALSO, i /now/ have basically two disks with one containing a PARTITION of Snow Leopord or Mountain Lion and a PARTITION of Windows XP Boot Camp. then the /second/ disk contains a CLONE of the OS X install and a PARTITION of Windows 7 Boot Camp. Do you know what i call these?! are either of them what you consider "co-resident"? i guess i don't exactly understand the types of boot camps i can have (ignoring virtual machines).
If the disk was formatted as an MBR disk and was fully dedicated to Windows, it will not have OS X. In some cases, a single physical disk can be partitioned to host both OSes. If the OS X part was on a separate physical disk, this is what is usually is done on a MacPro with multiple disks.
D. can i /PLEASE/ ask you to help me understand the types of virtual machines i can create on the 2012 with Parallels 10? right now i just hooked up a Windows 7 virtual machine from Parallels 7. so this is a "true virtual machine". but i can somehow also now create a "boot camp virtual machine" where i can EITHER boot into the boot camp or into the virtual machine? i mean, i guess what we are discussing is a way to CLEAN the Windows 7 BOOT CAMP INSTALLATION on my 2006 by putting the hard drive into the 2012 and to then - well i guess i then create a WinClone of the Boot Camp install and i run the WinClone MIGRATION procedure to get this boot camp on the 2012? /then/ i run parallels and hook up this Boot Camp install in the new machine?
Usually, BC installations can be imported as virtual machines. You can also install a VM using a virtual disk, which, to OS X, appears like a set of system files. You can as a test import the 2006 disk clone as a VM and test. The VM engines impose their own BIOS engine and can have their own drivers in such a VM. For example, they will emulate SCSI to access the underlying virtual or physical disk. They may also provide their own file system drivers. For example, VMware Fusion can provide HGFS to share files between OS X and Windows. Your approach should work, but I have never tested Winclone with the VM layer in the middle. You should ask Wincloen support if they support VM as an in-between layer or not. I do not think so.
E. can you remind me why i can't get a XP Boot Camp on the 2012 machine? was this due to the 2012 mac pro or was it yosemite or both i guess? i mean, for XP i am presumably going to run the TRANSFER procedure on the XP install /after/ putting the hard drive with XP boot camp from the 2006 into my 2012 and then i am going to run this VIRTUAL MACHINE FROM BOOT CAMP operation (link below)? if so, we are saying i can run this from the 2012 and then can i remove the XP Boot Camp drive from the 2012 and still have the virtual machine i guess? in this case i SHOULD ALSO run the XP through the procedure you explain? so in this case i will only have a virtualized XP Boot Camp install and with Windows 7 i will have both the BOOT CAMP install (which i presumably migrated to my OS X hard drive!) and i will be able to virtually boot to this boot camp install using Parallels 10?
Apple deprecated XP support as they moved to BC version 5.x. A new XP installation is not possible, but an existing XP installation will continue to work across OS X version upgrades. This is a 'physical' machine from 2006 MP. Once you install BC drivers on the XP installation to work with 2012, you will need to reverse the migration procedure (uninstall drivers for 2012MP, install 2006 MP drivers). It is a very unusual direction to want to go back to 2006 MP, but it is still a method if the 2012 MP hardware failed, and you wanted to go back to a working 2006 MP. You should check if Parallels 10 supports XP.
F. i guess if i want to make sure to retain a true boot camp install of the Windows XP install i have to repair the 2006 machine is that right?

Not necessarily. If you can migrate (simulating a SysPrep) to the 2012 MP machine, you do not need to resurrect the 2006 MP.
