I tried to install xp windows professional

I tried to install xp windows in the bootcamp but could not read. It was a regular pc edition do I need to buy the mac edition?? to work if so that is dumb

What do you mean by a "mac version"?
You can't purchase a Mac version of Windows XP, you can only buy Windows XP which will work on a regular PC and can ALSO be used on a Mac with Boot Camp.

    but i don't understand should i delete all my partitions or just only the " C:\ " and "100~200MB" system partition
    did he  mean delete Only the both " C:\ " and "100~200MB" system partition ?
    cause I don't have "100~200MB" system partition just " C:\ "
    When i install i just Format the " C:\ " then press

    Now should I just select Delete the " C:\ "
    partition 0 "System" and recreate the partition again and press
    Next
    to Continue the installation  
    Or what i should do ?

    to make 320MB partition "system"  and the rest of the partition to Windows 8.1 "28.8 GB"
    Like what happen in the VirtualBox

  • CD Boot: memory overflow error! Trying to install Bootcamp / Windows 7 on MacBook Pro 2009 with external superdrive

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to install Bootcamp on my machine.
    I was running Parallels before but need Bootcamp in order to run heavy software on the PC side (e.g. Rhino/Maxwell/etc).
    I have a Macbook Pro 17" from around 2009, running Mountain Lion 10.7.3. 
    Problem is, my internal CD Drive is broken and doesn't read discs, so it couldn't read the Windows installation disc (Windows Home Premium 7 64 bit - OEM System Builder Pack).
    So, I rang Apple to try to fix it and they said it would be cheaper and faster to buy an external SuperDrive.
    I explained that I wanted it to install bootcamp and they said, fine.
    However when I bought the SuperDrive, it turns out its only supposed to be working with new Macbook Pro with Retina display, and other machines that don't have internal cd drives.
    At first it didnt work, but then I found a helpful website which enabled it to work on my machine.
    So I went ahead and started installing Windows through the BootCamp Assistant.
    It partitioned my hard drive - success!
    But then it turned into black screen, with message saying "CDBOOT: Memory overfloor error"
    Help please!!!
    I suspect the problem is either:
    a) Old Macbook Pro can't boot from the Windows disk
    or
    b) The Windows OEM version is somehow not designed to work with Mac. I bought it secondhand off a guy, thinking it was the full version, silly thing to do!
    Your thoughts and help is seriously appreciated!
    Tomorrow I'm going to the Apple Store and also to buy a brand new copy of Windows, I guess.

    This has been resolved. It turned out that in spite of the message at the end of installation - "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer restart the installation" Windows was installed successfully but the problem was the Bootcamp drivers, it could not read them(install them) from my original OSX Istall DVD and I thought that that the whole package was not installed successfully. I will copy the intructions here as well since this thread may attract lots of other people with similar problem who may think it was not a good installation. Here you go:
    Ok, after 3 sleepness nights I have found a solution and finally have a working Windows 7 Ultimate. I hope this will be helpful for everyone having similar issues and not have to go through the same nightmare.
    Right away after logging in Windows for the first time insert the original Snow Leopard Install DVD and if Windows does not read it or install any drivers after clicking on setup.exe do the following:
    Right-click on Start » Programs » Accessories » Command Prompt
    Select Run as Administrator
    Type cd /d D:, then press Enter
    Type cd Boot Camp\Drivers\Apple, then press Enter
    Type BootCamp64.msi, then press Enter
    If you do not how to right click before installing the drivers the following:
    Click on Start
    Enter cmd in the search box
    Instead of hitting the Enter key use Ctrl + Shift + Enter and will open a dialog box
    Click Yes at the prompt and you will be running as an administrator.
    If you do not have the original install DVD go the this link and follow the instructions(including the ones from the last comment):

    Hey there Frank0619,
    If you have not been able to install iTunes because the Windows Installer service is not available, I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following troubleshooting to help.
    Issues installing iTunes for Windows
    These in particular: 
    Make sure you have an administrator account.
    To install iTunes, you'll need to log in to your computer with an administrator password. If you're not sure if you have an administrator account, read Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator? You could also refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
    Install the latest Microsoft Windows updates.
    To download the latest updates, visit the Microsoft Windows Update website. iTunes for Windows requires Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 with the latest Service Pack installed. If you can’t install the updates, refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
    Download the latest version of iTunes.
    The latest version of iTunes can be downloaded at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
    Disable conflicting software.
    Some Windows background processes can cause issues for other programs and processes. These conflicts can prevent applications, such as iTunes, from installing. Disable conflicting processes by starting your computer using MSConfig: 
    Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows XP
    Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8
    Some security software made by other companies can't be disabled using MSConfig. If you've installed security software and you're having issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows, you might need to disable or uninstall security software to resolve installation issues.
    Restart your computer.
    Install iTunes.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • 0x800096002 Error When trying to install a windows product in 8.1

    I'm trying to install Windows6.1-KB958559-x64-RefreshPkg from windows and i keep getting the 0x800096002 error any help? This is a Valid Signature from Microsoft as this is an Official product so there shouldn't be any problems. If anyone knows
    an answer that would be great thanks!
    If you need pc Specs Please ask and i will provide!

    Hi,
    Based on my research, kb958559 is Virtual PC package which is incompatible with Windows 8.1. At the same time, the error code 0x800096002 means there is a file hash mismatch when you try to search for available updates from the Windows Update Web site or
    from the Microsoft Update Web site.
    This should be your update package problem. On the other hand, you can refer to the content of the link below for more details about the error code:

  • Access Denied When Trying To Install Printer - Windows 7

    Good Day
    I have a serious problem on a client's computer. All I need to do is connect the laptop to a network printer, but I am having a lot of difficulty in doing so.
    First the details of the laptop: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit connected to network using ETH cable. Avira Professional antivirus running, firewall disabled on pc, user is member of administrators group only.
    Details of the printer: Xerox Workcentre 3220, connect to network using ETH cable, but also shared on pc also running Windows 7 64-bit Professional.
    I am able to ping the printer and have connected all the other pcs on the network to the printer without any troubles whatsoever. Printing, scanning - everything is working fine for the other pcs. I am also able to connect to shares from the laptop to any
    other pc.
    So here is my issue with this specific laptop:
    Firstly, when using the "Add Printer" wizard, the "Add a local printer" option is greyed out.
    So I tried connecting to the printer using the"Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer" option, which seemed to be working, but during installation it gives an Access Denied error and undoes the installation.
    Then I tried connecting to the share of the printer on one of the other pcs, which had the exact same result.
    I then tried to modify an other printer, by firstly trying to add a new Local Port, but the I recieve the following error: "Specified port cannot be added. Access is denied."
    I tried then adding the driver using the Windows Print Server, but the buttons were unavailable.
    After reading on many forums, I accessed the Print Management console (Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Print Management)m and tried adding the printer and ports there, but recieved an "Access Denied" error every time.
    Basically whatever I tried, I recieved "Access Denied" errors. I created a new user, which is only a member of the Administrators group. Logged in with new user, without any success in connecting to the printer. I then tried adding security permisssions
    for "everyone" to the folder C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS, as I read on another forum. I tried modifying the group policy using gpedit.msc and also using the Local Security Policy, although I could have missed some things in these two places,
    but basically with a quick glance, everything seemed fine. I am sure there are no virusses, etc on this laptop and as I have said all the other pcs connected to the printer very easily.
    How can it be that I cant install a printer on this laptop, while I was able to do so a year or so back?
    I have gotten a few suggestions that it will in the end just save me time by formatting the pc and reloading all the data and programs, but this isn't an option I really want to take. And then I have previously had issues with the "Add a local printer"
    option greyed out and unable to add printers, etc, but then I was able to solve the problem by creating a new user and then switching to that user - which indicated a possible user profile corruption. But in this case even that did not work.

    Hi,
    please check your below configuration:
    1.Start the policy editor (Control Panel -> Administrative tools -> Local security policy)
    2.Select “Local policy” item
    3.Find the item “Devices: Prevent Users from Installing Printer Drivers” in the section Security Settings -> Security Options and change it to Enabled
    4.Go to “Security Settings -> User Rights Assignment” section and check, that “Load & Unalod Drivers” option contains the active user group. It important, that even if it has “All Staff” already, it still could miss “Administrators” group, so it’s necessary
    to add it manually.
    In addition, this thread could be referred:

  • Trying to install on Windows...won't work!  HELP!

    I need help, I have installed iTunes on my home computer and one other computer. I am attempting to install it on the computer I use at work. I followed all instructions (how easy, right?) and I can see the icon as a shortcut on my desktop. The problem is, I try to open it and all I get is a quick view of it and it shuts back down. I have uninstalled and reinstalled three times. I am getting frustrated. Please help!

    hi Crystal!
    sorry about the delay. lately, when the Discussions Server isn't down it seems like my home network is down ...
    I did as you asked and the iTunes.exe did appear and then quickly disappear.
    okay, that's consistent with infection by a variant of Qoologic adware (this has been causing "error-less" itunes launch failures since late October).
    the final diagnostic procedure is to see if you can get itunes to launch using the following technique:
    Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
    if you can get itunes to launch, let us know the names of the start-up items that you had to disable. (exact spelling please.)

  • I am trying to install windows 8 at my macbook air boot camp

    I am trying to install windows 8 at my macbook air boot camp but Boot Camp Assistant i showing an error that the disk cannot be portioned because some files cannot be moved. Back up the disc and use disk utility to format it was a single Mac OS Extended (journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant Again.
    I had already installed teh first time Windows on my MacBook Air and Mac Book Pro. Actually I had more issues to install on the pro than Air.
    But my Macbook Air had an issue on November 2013, 3 weeks after buying it and Apple gave me a new MacBook Air but they only transferred the information on my mac and the windows partion was lost according to them, they could copy it in to my new MacBook Air. Now that I am trying to install my windows I can not access to the aprtion section and get the error message from above.
    What can I do to to install it? I am using a 32GB USB and OEM Windows 8 at USB External Drive. The same I used before. I dont know understand what changed if I did it before?
    Please advise..

    I think there's some remmants left over from when Apple transferred stuff over. We can try a quick fix, but if that doesn't work, I think the only option is to clean install OSX and then install Windows.
    open disk utility, confirm that you only have 1 partition (mac journaled)
    restart and PRAM reset
    open disk utility and repair permissions twice
    restart boot camp assistant
    Does it work?
    If not, I would boot holding command+R, choose disk utility from the menu and completely erase your HD (formatting it as mac journaled again). Then, install OSX on this HD. Once OSX is installed, don't copy your files over from the backup yet. Instead, start boot camp assistant and see if you can get Windows installed. You can copy back your other files after we get Windows installed.

  • Mac Mini Keeps Trying To Install Windows on Startup

    I just got my Mac Mini in today, and I am very frustrated. I tried to install Windows 7 via Bootcamp, I created the partition and inserted the Windows 7 disc but when I tried to install it Windows 7 said it was not the correct format to install it on. So I just shut down the Mac Mini by pressing the power button on the back and now whenever I try to start it up it goes directly into trying to install Windows, is there any fix to this?
    I think if I could just get the disc out it would help but I'm not sure as this is my first Mac.

    Probably ALT (but YMMV!)
    BTW:
    So I just shut down the Mac Mini by pressing the power button on the back
    Probably best NOT to do this in future. Shut it down using the Apple Menu/Shut Down.

  • Trying to install Accurip printer driver on Windows 8 x64

    Hi there,
    I have a driver for an Epson printer 4880 that I am trying to install on Windows 8 x64. The driver works fine on Windows 8 x32 but will not work on x64. 
    When I select the printer it asks me to point it to the driver location, which I select the .inf file for it and it appears to install. However it takes me back to select the printer and continues to go in that continuous loop.
    I have checked the %windir$\inf\setupapi.devl.og and it appears to quit at Driver package failed signature verification.
    Could somebody provide some help as to how I could get this to work?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Which driver did you use? I checked Epson official site, found this type of printer had Windows x64 driver. Please download and install it for test.
