How do i install windows XP sp3 using Bootcamp?

Have recently purchased Windows xp sp3 home edition , but i am having trouble installing it. It just keeps repeating itself , what i mean by that is it starts to install then it tells me to restart and then it does exactly the same part of installing again , then it tells me to restart etc. I am not really getting anywhere.

SP3 has, for some unknown reason, been a pain with installing, with sometimes totally wiping out the Mac partition (not asking where to install).
I'd jump to 7, along with how XP even with SP3 has 'limited' enterprise support now, even though it will get updates I think until 2014.
That, or try to find SP2.

The Mountain Lion Windows Support drivers are available from within Boot Camp Assistant as a download. Start Boot Camp Assistant and select the option to download the Windows Support Software. Follow the instructions for saving the downloaded support software. When you boot into Windows make sure the device containing the drivers is inserted into a usb port and your Windows dvd is not in the computer. Windows will boot from your installed Windows on your hard drive and it will install the support software from the usb tick.

How do I install Windows 8 Pro using Boot Camp?

I was given Windows 8 Pro as a gift and I am curious as to how I can work around installing Windows 8 without having to purchase a System Builder. I don't want to have both System Build and Pro :/
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It's illegal to install this version if you haven't got Windows 7, Vista or XP installed, so if you want to use the upgrade version you have purchased, first you have to install Windows 7 in Boot Camp.
Then, after installing Windows 7, check that your Mac supports Windows 8 > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634 After that, download and install the Boot Camp 5 support software, and finally, insert the Windows 8 disc and follow the steps

How to install Windows 7 Enterprise using Bootcamp ?

Hi,
I'd like to install Windows 7 entreprise edition on a macbook pro 15" Early 2011 using Lions latest version.
I have an orginal CD and also an ISO file.
I tried this:
- insert the original DVD, start bootcamp, downloaded the drivers and restarted the macbook.
--> nothing happened, the screen became black with a blinking underscore. (I tried this for more than 10 times now and it's still the same).
So, I just thought it was the DVD and I wanted to boot on a Flash drive using the ISO file I have.
I started bootcamp but the "Create a windows 7 install disk" is greyed and I'm not able to go further.
Has anyone a solution or idea ?
Thanks

Problem installing Windows 7 64bit using bootcamp

Hello all,
I am sorry to ask a question that has probably been asked many time. It almost three days that I am browsing all possible forum but I have not been able to find the solution to this particular problem.
I am trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on a 27" iMac (late 2009) with Mountain Lion operating system. So, let's start from the beginning. I have used BootCamp assistant to partition my hard drive following all the possible official instructions on how to install Windows using Bootcamp. The Bootcamp Assistant successfully partitions my drive, the computer restarts automatically and the windows 7 installation starts correctly using the inserted DVD. The windows installation goes on perfectly, the computer restarts a couple of times but after the last restart I see the "Windows starting" window than my screen goes black and nothing happens anymore.
After some research I found some instruction on hoe to download the Windows drivers on a USB key and I followed all the steps suggest her . The problem is that I can't even get to the point where I can install my drive from the USB because I have never been able to actually complete the Windows installation. I tried rebooting the the Boot Manager but my Mac does not see my USB drive (Sony 8gb).
Can someone please help me? This issue is driving me nuts and I really need to urgently use Windows.
Many thanks to all for the help, in advance

Trying to install windows on Mac using bootcamp, but windows won't install?

I've been working tirelessly on installing a burned to disk windows 7 on my MacBook Pro using bootcamp. Everything worked fine, I booted up windows but the problem was that it wouldn't install at all and just told me that the disk may be corrupted or missing? I noticed the disk was scratched so I reburned it to another disk. When I went to restart the Mac to boot up windows and try the installation again, a message came up saying: "NTFS - 3G could not mount /dev/disk0s4 at /volumes/untitled because the following problem occurred: dyld: library not loaded/ usr /local/libfuse.2dylib referenced from: /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g reason: image not found." Could this be saying something about the disk? Is there an easy way to just install the **** thing?? In really tired with this, thank you do much for any help.

If I install Windows 7 & Office using Bootcamp in my Mac Air

If I install Windows 7 using Bootcamp in my Mac Air , van I also installed Office in the windows partition?

I'm not completely sure I'm understanding your question. If you install Windows 7 via BootCamp, when you boot into Windows 7, your MacBook Air will work exactly like a Windows PC. You can install Office or any other Windows application. As there is no optical drive, the easiest method is to download Office directly from Microsoft. You can also use Remote Disk to use the optical drive on a different machine:

Can I install windows again without using bootcamp to create the usb boot?

Hi, I have installed Windows 7 on my Mac with Bootcamp, but the free space Disk on my Windows partition is full.
Is there any way of install Windows 7 again if I have the usb with Bootcamp Tools and Windows ISO installed yet?
Thanks,
Regards.

If you already have built the USB with BC drivers and Windows ISO, run BCA and use the last option. It may say Remove or Install, depending on whether you already have Windows in your disk or not. If the installation is incomplete, use BCA to delete the current partition and start over again.

BSOD when installing windows 7 drivers using bootcamp in macbook pro late 2013

I followed the bootcamp instructions and installed windows 7 in my macbook pro 13 inch late 2013. But when the bootcamp starts to install the required drivers, halfway through the computer goes to BSOD. And after restart windows shows many error messages of "validation error".
I have a student licensed windows 7 professional.

I had the same problem. I was installing a Debug Build of Windows 7 on MacBook Pro 15" Late 2013 with a student license and it would die with BSOD while running BootCamp at the end of Windows installation. I solved the probelm by downloading a non-Debug version of Windows 7 Professional with Service Pack 1 and re-trying the installation from scratch. That is, I went back to OS X, launched BootCamp Assistant, erased the previous partition of Windows and re-created it again. After that, I installed a fresh copy of the right flavor of WIndows and it worked flawelessly.

How do i install windows on mavericks using MDT?

I have no problems installing 7 thru dvd or usb, but cannot get it to install using MDT

Well, what happens when you try? Are all the Mac drivers installed? Where does it fail? What specifi steps are you taking to accomplish this?
I suggest you stick with searching Google and the TechNet forums, as while we're all Mac users here, not everyone uses Windows, let alone MDT. And certainly nobody here would know anything about your MDT, WDS or SCCM environment.

How do I install windows 8 pro with osx 10.9 Mavericks?, How do I install windows 8 pro with osx 10.9 Mavericks?

Hello everyone I just purchased a brand new mac and I am trying to install windows 8 pro using bootcamp assistant. I get through almost the entire install when i get an error message that says "installation cannot proceed files missing" something like that...
my windows 8 pro is brand new and I downloaded osx mavericks from the app store has anyone else had this problem can anyone help me????!?!?

Hi. Because both Mavericks and Windows 8 are still new, they may not be free of error. Apple needs more time to perform more tests to ensure that these two different OS's will work properly without getting in conflicts. If it's posdible, I highly recommand you to downgrade back to Lion or Mountain Lion and install Windows 7 (if you have a copy of it). In my experience, all advises from Genius Bar members and computer articles confirm that Windows 7 will work on Macs with Lion OS. It should also work on Mountain Lion. Besides Boot Camp, you could try to virtualize Windows OS and its applications by using VirtualBox, CrossOver and other VMs. I already have an Oracle VirtualBox but I would like to try Boot Camp since it allows me to enjoy almost all Windows features that may be limited in VMs.

Hooking up a projector on macbook white running windows XP SP3 via bootcamp

Dear friends:
I have a question related on how to set a macbook (white) computer to recognize a projector while runnning windows XP SP3 (using bootcamp).
I'm using a mini DVI to VGA adapter.
The first I did was to plug the cable of the projector on the adapter, then I selected second monitor option in display properties (tab settings) and the best I got from there was to extend windows desktop onto the projector, but the thing is that I want to mirror both screens in order to show a full screen presentation on power point.
I played with the screen resolutions of both monitors and I got no success, so I decided to restart the macbook. Initially on both screens from the projector and that of the macbook it appeared the logo of windows xp when booting, but then when the session was started the screen of the projector got black.
I attempted by using F7 key but still got no success.
Could you give me a suggestion on how to solve this problem??, I hope my english was clear so you can understand my problem.
Best regards.
Oscar

Oh k thanks alot for your input. I think my only option is running XP through VM Fusion on my Time Capsule like Eric mentioned. I would have loved to exclude Mac OS X from running at all in the background while I'm on Windows since the programs I'm planning to run on Windows are Memory intensive. That's the whole reason I'm trying not to have windows installed on my macbook HD and have it run independently like it would on bootcamp. Thanks for all your help tho.
If anyone has a different suggestion pls feel free to comment. Thanks

Please find your Mac Model Identifier from About This Mac -> (More Info) -> System Report -> Hardware and compare it to the following list. If your model identifier appears in this list, you can only install Windows 7.
