How to install Winxp on 10.6

Hello,
I'm trying to install winxp sp2 on my macbook running mac osX 10.6.
While the bootcamp installation guide states that on snow leopard winxp installation is supported, apple web site on boot camp says that boot camp 4.0 no longer supports winxp as well as vista.
I tough this wouls apply only on macs running 10.7 Lion. Is there any way to install winxp via boot camp on 10.6?
I'm not an expert, I was wandering if return "back" to a version of boot camp supporting winxp trough time machine would work.
Thanks for answers.

Thank you, I installed win xp and then launched boot camp form mac osx disc. It did work, but there's still something to fix: apparently winxp is unable to connect to my wireless network via airport.
The current network is detected but when I try to connect I receive anerror message, something like "network non valid" (the password is correct, of course).
I thought I could download on a flash drive bootcamp upadates 3.1 and 3.2 and install them. Do you think it might fix the poblem? As far as I understand bootcamp 3.3 should work only under win7 so the latest update to work with winxp should be bc 3.2. Do you agree?
Thank you

Go into your router and reset the password, use WPA rather than WEP, then connect to it.

How to install WinXP on SATA without floppy drive?

Hi.
Is it possible to install WinXP on PC (with SATA) without floppy drive?
WinXP installer itself doesn't recognize SATA controller, so floppy disk with drivers is included.
But my PC doesn't have any floppy drive (what a relic. none of new PCs should contain a floppy).
How could I install WinXP on my PC? (without buying & mounting floppy drive).
(maybe one of DVD drives, ethernet or flash drive could be used somehow)
thanks.

Jeremy,
If you are having to do that all the time, then there is something else wrong with your computing habbits.

I used to try out programs on my old laptop and some of them weren't as clean as I had hoped. So I used to reinstall windows on it all the time. Luckily windows had all the drivers for my laptop so I didn't have to slipstream the drivers, but I probably reinstalled windows every other week. I just figured it was better to try a program on a computer that I didn't rely on rather than my main rig.
Have Fun

   Please help me!
   Thank u very much!!

Clinton don't worry about MS not supporting XP anymore. It is still one of the BEST MS OSs ever written (Win 7 being equal to XP in stability and usability). Just becasue they won't issue any more updates for it doesn't mean it can't still be used for YEARS to come.

How to install WinXP Pro over W2k on the Satellite Pro 6100?

Hi there,
I have brought a 2nd hand Satellite Pro, Model version SP6100 (PS610E-029ZV-EN), P4 1.7Ghz, 512Mb, 30GB, with Windows 2000 Pro installed.
I cannot get the wireless to connect to my router. The switch is in the correct position.
I have been advised that it could possibly be a conflict between the wireless facility and Win2000 Pro. Therefore I want to change to WinXP Pro using the key supplied with the laptop from new (dual OS). However I can't get it to reformat using an WinXP Pro disk at start up, the disk is ignored and Win2000 Pro loads. If I use the recovery cd (start with holding C down and release when it runs up) something begins which I presume to be an installation sequence however within seconds I see a reference to a z drive(?), a brief display of three rows of "invalid drive specification" and it again loads Win2000 Pro.
Can anyone advise how (or if!) I can reformat?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Possibly its a wrong booting order but usually after pressing the C button the notebook should boot up from the CD.
You said the drive does something and I think the booting from drive was activated but the drive is not able to read from the medium.
For me it sounds like a drive malfunction.
By the way: Check in the device manager if your notebook has installed WLan card. I think you cannot connect to WLan router because the card was not installed. The WLan switch is available because the WLan card is optional for this notebook. You know?

How to install WinXp on S3?

Hello,
i have bought a Toshiba Tecra S3 and want to install a fresh WindowsXP without using the Recovery CD given with the Notebook.
If i start that process with a regular WinXP (bootable) install CD the machine tells me that there is no harddrive available. And i cant find a hint what to do in the manual or elsewhere yet.
Any ideas what i am doing wrong?
thx
Steve

Hi
Like Silas said this unit was delivered with the WX pro.
The best way is to install the OS with the recovery cd because it was tested and works properly. But if you want to install the OS from the original Windows CD, you have to install the RAID driver firstly. This you will find on the Toshiba driver download page. Please check also the installation instruction which is also on the page area.
Note: Its necessary to install all drivers, tools in the right order!!!
Its a complicated procedure and the best way is to use the Recover CD.
Bye

How to Install WinXP SP2 on Satellite A205-S4587 without USB FDD

Hi all.
I ask a pardon for my English
I have Toshiba Satellite model A205-S4587. To me it is not necessary OS Windows Vista, and I want establish OS WindowsXP SP2. Because I have any queshion.
1. If at me is not present usb floppy drive as I can establish the driver for sata controller drivers . On site
2. For my model there is no support of drivers under WindowsXp SP2 on a site, only for Windows Vista. Whether there will be support WindowsXp SP2 for my model in the future and are how much compatible the driver from Windows Vista for WindowsXp SP2.
Thanks. Once again I ask a pardon for my English. WBR Nikolay Khachaturov.

Hi
I dont know if I can solve your all problems but I will try to provide some useful hints;
Regarding the point;
1) You dont need the external USB floppy drive.
You can create an own XP booting CD. There is an freeware application called nLite.
Using this program you can integrate the additional drivers like RAID or SATA and MS service packs into a Windows XP OS.
Google simply for nLite and Im sure you will find useful and interesting blogs and website about this software.
2) Well, this is an US notebook and was designed for US market.
Therefore you should look for drivers on Toshiba US website.
If you will find nothing, then either you will try XP drivers designed for another Satellite A205/A200 series or you will search for single XP drivers on chip manufacture sites like Intel, nVidia, etc
Good luck

How can I install winxp to bootcamp on imac with bad optical drive?

I have a mid-2007 20" aluminum Intel-based iMac and I'm having trouble getting a clean install of MacOS10.5.8 and Win XP (through Bootcamp) on a new drive.
The problem stems from the fact that I have no internal optical drive. My Superdrive began acting up a while ago (couldn't recognize, read from, or write to DVD). I replaced the drive, but the problem persisted. Calling Apple Support, they determined (guessed?) the problem was the logic board, and, as the machine is out of warranty, isn't worth replacing. No big deal - I've been using an external USB optical drive when needed.
However, my hard drive is beginning to experience issues (SMART Failure), and I want to reinstall everything MacOS, Bootcamp/Win XP on a clean new drive. The problem is that I cant resinstall Win XP to Bootcamp without an internal drive (which seems unlikely to ever work). I've tried creating a bootable USB key with the XP installation files going through the Bootcamp installation process using the WintoFlash/rEFIt method, but to no avail (won't recognize boot from USB).
Is it possible to remove the internal hard drive, boot from MacOS (10.5.8) on an external drive, and connect the optical drive to the sATA port where the internal drive was? Or is there a second sATA port on these logic boards? Or can I somehow connect the USB optical drive in a way that the iMAC thinks it's internal? I'm not afraid of digging into the iMAC (changed HDD and Superdrive already).
Is there anyway to test the pATA connection on my logic board to find out if it's really the problem? If it's not, maybe I can install WinXP on a second Windows formated drive, to take the space of the internal Superdrive.
There must be some good ideas out there somewhere. Barring that, my only other option is to use Parallels and take the performance hit that comes with running a virtual machine. UGH!

Actually, when I followed that link, one of the related links in More Like This was a real find! An actual download of Aperture, albeit a trial, but that would have solved my problem too. I tested it and although it's embeded in a support article, the link to the trial version of Aperture still works.
Thanks! Great info here if you can find it.

How to install itunes in linux host into Winxp using VirtualBox?

How to install IE8 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter?

Hello.
Can anybody tell me, how to install IE8 on 2008 R2 Datacenter?
I've downloaded this http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/internet-explorer-8-details.aspx for "Windows Server 2008 64-bit and more..", removed IE11, IE10, IE9 from installed updates, and runned "dism /online /disable-feature
/featurename:Internet-Explorer-Optional-amd64".
And nothing helps. I've got a message "Internet Explorer 8 is not supported on this operating system".

you can't "install" IE8 on WS2008R2, nor on Windows7 - because those OS's shipped with IE8.
IE is an OS component, and so when you "upgrade" or "downgrade" IE, you are affecting an OS component.
What this means is that the "IE8" download you are trying to apply, is actually IE8 for WinXP or maybe WinVista.
You can usually "downgrade" Win7 back to IE8, by uninstalling the newer "upgrade" of IE - this causes the OS to automatically attempt to revert to the prior IE version.
This reversion assumes/requires a healthy OS and component store (CBS), including all the pkgmgr file needed to revert to component.
Sometimes, the component store is damaged, or is missing files.
you may need to check the CBS logfiles, and may need to perform SFC /scannow
You may need to use CheckSUR to repair system health.

How to install Windows on a SATA boot drive

Here is how to install Windows XP on a SATA boot drive. This procedure was first developed by syar2003 and has been used by many iusers ncluding myself. Although it was originally developed for Neo2 mb's and Windows XP Pro, it has general applicability to systems as well.
1. Have only the SATA drive you want to be the boot drive active in your system. Disconnect the power to all other HDD's if any.
2. Have only one optical drive active. Disconnect the power to the other opticals if any. (Best to have a burner optical as master on IDE1.)
3. Plug SATA drive into SATA 1 on the mb. (it may show us as an IDE drive somewhere down the list in BIOS. That's okl)
4. Enable appropriate SATA options in BIOS. Set boot order to floppy, cd, SATA drive. Set boot priority to SATA drive.
5. Partition and format the SATA HDD using the utilites CD that came with the SATA drive. (If you don't have an HDD utilities disk, download one from the website of your HDD manufacturer.)
6. Run Windows setup. No need to load drivers at the F6 promt unless you are planning to do a RAID configuration.
7. Windows XP should install without incident.
8. After you are up and running, plug the power back into your other HDD and optical drives if any.
If you have a board older than the K8 series, it may be necessary to load the SATA drivers at the F6 prompt. If the above procedure does not work, than try it again loading the SATA drivers.
If this procedure does not work for you, it is likely that your particular SATA HDD has some compatablity problem with Windows setup and/or your motherboard. The solution to this is to try another SATA drive. In general, most failures using this procedure have been traced to certain WD, Seagate and Hitachi SATA drivers of smaller capacities. Fewer problems seem to have occured with Maxtor HDD's.

Kaplan, from an earlier post of mine regarding sata2 hdds - I have them plugged into the sata1&2 ports, installed the nvidia raid first and then installed winxp (in both raid 0 and raid 1). My bios is 3.1 and its a known problem that bios 3.3 & 3.4 have nvidia raid problems but seems to be fixed in the beta bios 3.53:
I just purchased 2 hitachi deskstar sata2 80gb hdds ($60 each at zzf) and the interesting thing about them is that you have to "enable" sata2. I have been testing the performance of sata1, sata2, raid1 and raid0 and the results are below.
The drives themselves are factory default set at sata1. Since I purchased OEM, no software or instructions were included. I had to go to the hitachi website download section to download a dos based program (the features program) to enable sata2. After enabling the hdds to sata2, they were recognized in winxp in the nforce ADMA controller device driver and the screen reads with the primary channel as Serial ATA Generation 2 - 3G...and all 4 boxes below it are checked (the boxes enable bios select xfer mode, enable read caching, enable write caching and enable command queuing are checked). An interesting thing about the sata2 spec is that all sata2 hdds must come standard with NCQ...its not advertised on these 80 gb hdds on the hitachi website (unlike the larger hitachi sata2 hdds) but its a standard sata2 spec and these 80gb hitachi hdds are recoginized in winxp as sata2.
The other interesting feature about the hitachi sata2 hdds is setting them up to operate in an adjustable "performance" to "silence" mode. The hdds are default set at high perfromance but you can manually lower the performance to increase the silence of the hdds which is fully adjustable to your liking. I tested the highest silence/lowest performance setting and you cannot hear the hard drive at all.
Testing - I tested the 2 hitachi sata2 deskstars with the first result in sata1 mode, the second in sata2 mode, the third in raid1 mode and the fourth in raid0 mode.
First, a significant increase in raid0 over sata1, sata2 and raid1 with sequential reads and writes (PC Wizard).
Write: 28mb/s vs 29mb/s vs 27mb/s vs 53mb/s
Read: 45mb/s vs 46mb/s vs 43mb/s vs 83mb/s
Second, significant increase in sata 2, raid 1 & raid 0 over sata1 with buffered reads and writes (PC Wizard).
Write: 104mb/s vs 176mb/s vs 165mb/s vs 266mb/s
Read: 123mb/s vs 200mb/s vs 200mb/s vs 293mb/s
Third, significant increase in sata 2, raid 1 & raid 0 over sata1 with burst reads (HD Tach).
Burst Read: 133mb/s vs 225mb/s vs 219mb/s vs 334 mb/s
It is interesting to note that raid1 is better than sata1 but marginally slower in all tests over sata2. Raid0 is significantly faster on all tests.

Pagemaker 7 has compatibility issues with Windows 7. You can try, but I expect the installer will not work properly.
Either move on to InDesign or keep PM7 on your WinXP setup.
You can also try run the application in Xp compatible mode.

thanks everyone here for your time

Moderator note: member's email address removed to keep away from the spambots.

Windows 2000 has been largely abandoned (and with VERY GOOD reason) why on earth would you want to install that outdated unstable OS? It's plagued with security issues bugs and BSOD issues from being unsupported so long (even when it WAS supported) chances are no drivers were made compatable with that OS for your machine as XP is a totally different monster you likely would not find drivers for 70+% of your hardware. I'd 110% advise against even trying it XP is the oldest supported windows OS anymore an even it is about to lose support very VERY soon (if it hasn't yet already). I can't stress enough how much of a bad idea (and without any advantages by doing so) it would be to even attempt this.

How to install Web Dynpro ABAP on Longhorn Beta 3

Hello, want to give some hints how to install WDA SP12 on Longhorn Beta 3:
- Computer name maximum 8 chars
- set a pw for administrator, not empty (don't know whether necessary)
- rename image\NTPATCH subdir before starting install, otherwise install crashes
- at end of installation mmc msi is not found, start manually from \sap\nsp\_installTemp
- starting sapmmc, converts to Longhorn mmc version, store it, start only new version (old version crashed after some minutes)
- at end of installation, manually start r3dllcon.exe from former ntpatch dir, make it WinXP conform before. ntpatch must be a local dir to make it conform. I disabled uac before, but don't know whether it's necessary (msconfig, right register, uac disable). r3dllcon copy some C dll files into windows\system32, so uac should be disabled
- set hostname in hosts file
- network disable tcpv6
- add sapmsNSP 3600/tcp, sapdp 3200/tcp and sapgw 3300/tcp in services
- add dbms/type=sdb in file ...\profile\default.pfl (don't know if this was necessary)
- start in new sap mmc
This information is an appreciation to your great forums in sdn!
