Installing Windows XP ... Help Please...

Hello,
I bought a new MacPro last week, I also bought Windows XP Pro and Parallels. I am familiar with Macs, but not windows, nor parallels. I have no idea where to begin to install. My MacPro is up and running but what is next? Do I install XP first or Parallels first? I tried installing XP first but didn't see the icon called "Install Windows XP" as the manual said it should say. I called microsoft and they were of zero help. They said they would not help me because I bought parallels (instead of virtual PC). I'm the type of person who prefers/wants/needs to have someone "talk to me by phone" and walk me through things. The microsoft person wouldn't or couldn't help, the Apple support person also couldn't help. I'm totally clueless on what to do. My two main problems are:
1. I don't know what I don't know, so I don't even know how to correctly ask questions nor even what the "right" questions are.
2. I am easily intimidated and frustrated in searching through tones of text on websites trying to resolve computer problems, it's overwhelming and I have no idea how to find what I need because I am not even sure what those things are...
thank you in advance to anyone willing to offer me help...

    Hi
    Welcome To Lenovo Community
    We are really sorry to hear about the issue you are facing,  
    Based from what i read in your post, keyboard is not functioning when logging to windows  & touchpad also is not working  . Please try entering in Bios , and check if you are able to use the keyboard , Load setup defaults , Keep tapping F8 to load windows in safe mode and check .
    If you are able to use the keyboard & touchpad  , Try disabling startup by using MSCONFIG
    Then restart and check .
    You may also try using UBUNTU Live CD to verify if the keyboard and touchpad are working

  • Ntfs/mbr error while trying to install windows 8. PLEASE help!

    Ok so before I explain anything I beg you to PLEASE not tell me I haven't read/searched enough for this because I'm already very close to throwing my macbook pro down the window and regretting it after a second!
    Here's what's happening:
    I have a Macbook Pro late 2011 (15 inch).
    -I downloaded and prepared a USB bootable Windows 8 file.
    -I used bootcamp assistant to create a new partition
    When I turn on my laptop pressing the ALT key and choose to boot from eh EFI USB partition. I get asked to install Windows 8 and write down the product code.
    Now, here's when it gets annoying:
    1) I get the error saying that I cannot choose that partition because it's not an NTFS formatted partition.
        There's NO advanced options link on the bottom right corner. However, I can clearly see the Format button and when I choose the Partition and click format I get a new error saying ''Windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk has an MBR partition table.''
    So, I downloaded a software that formats the partition to NTFS using Disk Utility. However, when I restart, I will get the ''MBR..'' error again.
    2) Concerning this second error (in case it was finally NTFS), I found another solution and that's the procedure of clicking ''SHIFT + F10'', choosing the partition disk from there and manually converting it to GBT or what ever that was.
    Problem: When I manually type ''list disk'', there's only ONE partition showing as 495 GB (my laptop is 500gb) which obviously means that I'm not going to choose that and convert it to anything because it's the whole hard disk and not the bootcamp partition.
    I closed the window and continued to see if I had forgotten to do the partitioning well, but once I got to the installation, my bootcamp partition was there in the partition windows, still giving me an error for MBR partition table.
    So, please, I've restarted my laptop 50 times so far trying different ways to fix this, I've erased, formatted and divided the hard disk 1000 times and if I'm not mistaken that's really not something you wanna keep on doing to your laptop.
    ANY help will be appreciated.
    Thank you in advance!
    invisible hugs to anyone who wants to help me.

    I had modified the bootcamp info.plist file to be able to prepare the USB separately, I had done this step last year and had no problem back then, also it works for so many people so I don't know why not for me. Anyway, I modified it back to how it was originally... and well, unfortunately still not working.
    This will not work, as you have already found out. BCA sets the NVRAM based on Model Identifier to boot from the Optical drive for Macs that are supposed to have built-in Optical drives. It works for people because there are a few select models which support both, for example my 13-in 2012 MBP. It is an urban myth that it works. What is the issue with your Optical drive? Did you codesign it properly (you need the --deep qualifier)?
    The only resolution I know of, is to re-install OS X to get the BCA package back, if it does not work - OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support.
    When BCA restarts by itself after all the steps, I get the no bootable device message. And if I open it using the alt/option key which works fine, I get stuck at the step where I can format the partition to NTFS but I get the error mentioning the MBR partition table...
    It is expecting to boot from a DVD in the Optical drive. Please try the DVD method. Make sure you reset NVRAM and SMC. If necessary, delete the current partition using BCA only, and start over again.

  • My itunes has gotten error 7 (windows error 14001) itunes wont even open it just says itunes was not installed correctly. someone help please

    my itunes has gotten error 7 (windows error 14001) itunes wont even open it just says itunes was not installed correctly. someone help please

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) (not for XP) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Cant Install Windows 98SE. Please help!

    Please can anyone tell me if they have successfully installed win 98SE on this motherboard. I have spent many hours with no success. Using the same CD player and installation disc installs fine on my old computer. However with the 865PE/G Neo2-P motherboard it doesnt it work. Bios recognises HD and CD. After partitioning and formatting the HD and booting up with the WIN98 start up disc setup command doesnt work. Error message Device driver not found MSCD001 No valid CD rom drives selected. Have tried using WIN98 full version and Win 98SE upgrade but no success. Any advice would be appreciated please.

    I installed Windows 98 with no problems. Your hardware specs will be suitable to analyze your systems possible outfall.

  • My built-in webcam stopped working after installing Windows 7 - HELP!!

    I have an HP Pavilion dv6636nr Entertainment Notebook computer.  It came installed with Windows Vista and I just recently installed Windows 7, 32-bit onto it.  The built-in webcam worked for a short time, but now it doesn't even show up in the device manager and no longer functions.  I don't know if there are drivers in conflict or what, but I am very frustrated.  Any help anybody can provide would be greatly appreciated, as HP no longer supports this laptop because it's OLD.   Thanks!

  • Problem installing Windows 7(HELP ME!)

    Hi to everyone!
    I have an iMac 3.06 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo that I bought in the early 2009 and yesterday I wanted to install Windows 7 because I have to run some Windows programs...
    I have had a problem when I partitioned and online they said to me to format the HD so I formatted and partitioned the Hard Disk with Boot Camp and then I installed again Snow Leopard...
    Then I opened again Boot Camp and I put the DVD to install Windows 7(it's all genuine!) and the computer restarted to star the installation but when it restarts there is a problem:
    on the display there is a black screen with a little flashing hyphen at the left of the top of the screen...
    I thought that it was loading the installation but after 10 minutes it was at the same point...
    PLEASE,HELP ME!!!
    I wrote in the main italian forums about this problem but nobody knew how to help me
    I wanted to write to Apple but there isn't an email for this kind of problems...
    I have the AppleCare Protection Plan but I don't think that calling their number they can solve the problem...
    Thank you very much to anyone who solve my problem =)

    Your wording leaves me wondering if you followed the steps correctly and how the Boot Camp Assistant and PDF Guide (and there is FAQ) on how to partition and install.
    http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    Most people run into trouble because their drive doesn't have enough contiguous free space; and that some files that are preventing partitioning.
    Installing can leave the free space fragmented as well.
    Apple Disk Utility RESTORE or SuperDuper are both a good way to create a bootable backup clone or image from which to restore your drive again (after an ERASE of the raw drive back to one partition).
    This is 7 32-bit? or 64-bit? Apple didn't use to support Vista x64 on any iMacs.

  • Tomcat won't work after XP SP2 install?? help, please

    Help please!
    Hi, I installed a fresh JDK (1_5_0_02-windows-i586-p), JRE (1.5.0_01), J2EE (1.4_2005Q1), Apache web server (2.0.53-win32-x86-no_ssl) and Tomcat (5.5.7) . Everything seemed to work. I installed XP Service Pack 2 and now Tomcat won't compile JSPs. (I don't know if the SP2 install was the cause).
    The service Starts okay, but when I try to hit a jsp, Tomcat takes over my processor (at like 80%) and it starts writing to the stdout log (stdout was set to auto), repeatedly. After being up for like 20 min the log was well over 1 GB in size. It showed the below exceptions repeating ad infinitum.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled Tomcat, repaired the Apache installation (that shouldn't matter, should it?), and I am going to try reinstalling JDK/JRE/J2EE, but does anyone have any ideas of how I can fix this?

    Is it possible this is resulting from classpaths not
    being setup correctly? Could someone please tell me
    what my CLASSPATH and PATH enviro variables should be
    fod JDK, J2EE, JRE, etc...? Both in general and
    specifically to be found by Tomcat. They are
    installed in:
    C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_02
    C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_02
    C:\Sun\AppServer
    Thanks!Could be.
    I think installing anything in directories whose path has spaces in it is a terrible idea. I'd reinstall the JDK to c:\SDKs or something like that.
    There's no need for a system CLASSPATH - ever. You shouldn't have one. Use -classpath when you run javac.exe and java.exe to set the CLASSPATH. Tomcat has its own class loaders. You should deploy your Web apps in WAR files - they'll have the CLASSPATH set for you that way.
    Your PATH should include the JAVA_HOME\bin.
    set JAVA_HOME=C:\SDKs
    set CATALINA_HOME=c:\Tools\Tomcat, or wherever you installed Tomcat.

  • Scanning directly to PDF on Windows 7 - HELP PLEASE !

    I recently purchased an HP Probook 4540s that runs Windows 7 Professional and then learned that my HP Laser Jet 3052 all-in-one, that had beautifully scanned documents directly to PDF files when hooked-up to my old laptop that ran Windows XP Professional, doesn't scan directly to PDF.  I'm told (but don't know for myself) that's because HP doesn't have a scanning driver for Windows 7 and Microsoft's drivers don't scan to PDF  What can I do to have my 3052 scan PDF directly to my 4540s?  I'm I stuck with having to buy a new scanner and, if so, which one(s) will scan directly to PDF on Windows 7 with an automatic feeder?  Of course I can scan to TIFF and then convert to PDF, but what a hassle and the product is so much less sharp.  Help, please!

    As I'm sure you are aware you've asked in an Adobe hosted forum for Acrobat not a generic Q&A area like Yahoo Answers.
    With that in mind --
    Purchase and install Acrobat XI (Standard or Pro).
    Visit the HP site to obtain/install  the latest greatest drivers for the scanner.
    If there's an appropriate TWAIN driver Acrobat will be able to "talk" to the scanner to facilitate creationg of PDF from the scanner's output image(s).
    If not then use the scanner's software to output scanned images of textual content to TIFF.
    Then use Acrobat to create PDF from the TIFF files.
    Alternatively you may want to give a look-see to Adobe's online subscription services.

  • Installing Windows 7, Advice Please

    I must have Windows 7 installed in a Boot Camp partition by tomorrow morning on this new iMac...
    I tried to install XP Pro, but ran into too many difficulties, so I picked up a copy of Windows 7 Professional today.  I only need to run one accounting program in Windows, although there is a possibility of needing to install up to two other software packages for mapping purposes later on.  So, with XP, it was easy, with Windows 7 I can do 64 bit or 32 bit, and I don't know which is best.  I had formatted the partition as FAT32 before, but now I don't know if I should use NTFS or not.  I believe 32 gig is sufficient, but with a 1 TB drive, I can afford to go higher if necessary.
    The only file sharing that I need is to be able to copy pdf files from the windows partition to the OSX partition.
    Any and all help will be very appreciated!
    Thanks,
    John

    You have to use NTFS. Just format BOOTCAMP when you get to that point.
    http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp
    Most accounting can be run in VMs.
    Go with 64-bit, you likely will have better support and RAM to match.
    32GB is minimal. Don't cut yourself short. Would have been fine for XP but that isnt' supported.
    20GB Windows plus: page, hibernation, 10GB free space needed, all the updates, temp/tmp and cache files and data plus applications.  If you have 8GB RAM then page + hibernation = 16GB or more just from those.
    You may want to install Windows natively, buy Parallels and enable the VM so you can dual boot or run Windows as a guest OS side by side under Mac OS.

  • Having lots of problems with my firefox. It does not download when I click unless I restart the firefox many times. It does not open a new windows. Help please!

    2 problems:
    1. Files aren't downloaded when I click download. It only downloads after I restart the firefox many times.
    2. New windows aren't being opened.
    Help please. I've encountered the first problem since way back, but it wasn't this severe, now the downloading is very limited as I have to restart firefox many many times.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

    Some security software is also able to block new window.
    Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Exchange 2013 Windows Updates Help Please!

    Hello
    My Setup:
    Server01: Server 2012 Standard + Exchange 2013 Standard
    Server02: Server 2012 Standard + Exchange 2013 Standard
    DAG Enabled.
    Well I'm wondering the best way to Install Windows Updates.
    Which Server first? the Passive or Active node of Databases?
    because after a Windows Update there are reboots required, what is the best practise when installing Windows Updates.
    Thank You!

    Hi,
    There is no order in a DAG because there is no "active server" or "passive server", there is only servers that host either active or passive database copies. So when updating a DAG member you should make sure it is only hosting passive database copies at
    the time.
    Per my known, if the server need be restarted after installing certain Windows update, I suggest you run the maintenance scripts to avoid some unexpected situation.
    Here is a related thread which can help you for your reference.

    Hope this helps.

  • New Macbook Pro: Need to Partition Hard Drive & Install Windows 7 - help!

    My macbook crashed and I just got a new macbook pro (4GB). I run Fusion 3, but I need bootcamp for a program required for my law school exams. I have a full version of Vista and an upgrade for Windows 7 Home Premium.
    Should I install Vista first in Bootcamp and then upgrade to Windows 7 or just skip Vista and install Windows 7 using the upgrade disc only?
    If you could help or direct me to someplace that answers this question, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

    Hi,
    I have not yet done this on my macbook pro, but I plan on doing it this way when I get an afternoon to myself. I would follow the link below. You can use the windows 7 upgrade disc to do a clean install. That way you don't have to worry about vista at all.
    http://www.winsupersite.com/win7/cleaninstall_upgrademedia.asp
    That link will explain the proper way to do it and it is completely legal and it will satisfy Microsoft's license requirements providing you own the upgrade disc and the Vista disc as you described.
