Installing windows xp problems

I got a new mbp after my old one died.
Finally got my hands on a copy of windows.
I have done this install before.
I loaded boot camp, made the part, then restarted etc into windows install.
Came to format part, however only one appeared, and didnt think much of it.
Windows did it stuff, then restarted, so went to install. Seemed to restart, then ask the format part to ntfs again. Thought was strange but thought it was just windows being windows.
After it kept restarting and i was running out of time, i gave up to fight another day.
However when I turn my mbp on, without windows cd (which I dont have hold of anymore) screen goes white, then black and then I get a flashing line in top left of screen (can't remember what they are called)
So figured it was boot into windows, which isn't installed, so restart and held option to select boot device. However it only comes up with a windows part, no os x.
So great, prob wiped my os x and files/music etc. Ok, I can get them back from old computer easy enough (hadn't set up time cap).
If i boot mbp and select os install disc screen flashed white then goes back to black screen again.
If I boot mbp and hold c to boot from disc screen flashes black and white a few times then goes back to black screen again.
Er, I don't understand. Why wont it even boot to os x?
Thanks for reading and help would be well welcomed.
James

ok, looks like fresh install because it cant see any parts and wants me to create new one.
oh well nevermind, live and learn. 25 years of apple and less than ten problems. Great record in my mind

Using Boot Camp to install Windows XP: problems with display going blank

I have a new Mac mini (early 2009) connected to an older NEC MultiSync LCD (VGA only) display through a KVM.
I initially used the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter to make the display connection.
All worked fine with Mac OS X, but when I attempted to use Boot Camp to install Windows XP (Home), the display would go blank with the display saying "no signal" at some point during the install and I couldn't get the mini's display back without power cycling the mini. Numerous attempts at removing the Boot Camp partition, re-partitioning, and retrying resulted in nothing but frustration. I typically had to force the mini to boot from the OS X install DVD or Mac partition to make the mini usable again.
I have used my LCD display and KVM combination with a variety of computers running a variety of operating systems, including older Mac minis running both Mac OS X and XP, with no problems. And I intend to keep using it, so I wasn't going to assume the problem was there!
After noting that Apple had already released a [firmware update|http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mini_DisplayPort_to_VGA_FirmwareUpdate] for this adapter to address "[possible intermittent flickering and compatibility issues|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3492]", I double checked that it was up to date--and it was. But, it made me suspicious that this adapter might have some more problems and be the source of the troubles I was experiencing.
So, I got an Apple Mini-DVI to VGA adapter and tried that.
No more display problems! Everything works fine with Mac OS X. Windows XP installed without so much as a flicker, and it works smoothly with my setup.
I'm curious if I'm the only one who was affected by this problem?

Restart your Mac while holding down the Alt/Option-key until you get to the Boot Selection Screen.
Choose to boot OSX.
Use the BootCamp Assistant to remove the Windows partition.
Go to System Preferences then Startup Volume and rest the default to be your OSX volume.
Reboot your Mac again.
Follow the instructions from here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173 and use the BootCamp Assistant again to install Windows 7

Equium P200-1ED Installing Windows XP Problem - SATA Drivers

I have just bought a Toshiba Equium P200-1ED laptop with Vista installed and want to install my copy of Windows XP Pro. This is the latest disc with SP2 included.
When I boot up it does not recognise the hard drive. I assume I need to download these drivers and load them onto a floppy and hit F6 when the windows setup screen prompts me to do so.
Questions are;
1) Where can I get these drivers from?
2) Will the machine recognise a USB floppy Drive?
3) Am I right about what I need to do?
Thanks in advance for your help. :8}

How to install XP Home on the following Vista laptop. 05/01/08
Toshiba Equium A200-1V0 PSAF5E
Introduction
These are the steps taken by us to remove Vista from our Toshiba laptop and replace it with XP Home. There may be inconsistencies in our methods and we may not have all of the exact drivers installed, but everything appears to work OK for us.
Our laptop now runs much faster, opens and closes faster and is more stable.
This is not a 5 minute operation. It should not be attempted by anyone with only a passing knowledge of computers as it is very easy to screw things up. The shop you bought your PC from will charge a lot to fix things and they will probably insist on re-installing Vista!!.
Be prepared that this will also probably invalidate your warranty.
Luckily, I have a 2nd PC running XP that allows me to access the web. This is very useful as it means that while your Vista machine is 'broken' you can still search for help and download driver files. I also used my 2nd PC to create the modified XP installation CD mentioned further on.
You must have access to the web via some PC or other to get the required drivers.
Method
Firstly, while you still have Vista on your laptop machine, download and run an interrogation program such as 'Belarc advisor' which will list all the drivers and software that are installed on your laptop. Print it out for future reference.This may be useful later when searching on the web for any drivers that may need updating.
Now, make sure you have noted down all the required settings for your Internet connection.
Also, backup any files that you may have placed on the hard drive as you will lose the lot including any emails and address books and web favourites etc.
Unfortunately, the Toshiba disc that comes with this laptop does not appear to have any of the required drivers with it. Instead, I think that it relies on Vista keeping copies on your hard drive. This is not very bright as when the hard drive fails you have lost everything!
This therefore means that you have to go on the web and search for all the required drivers to run XP successfully.
Some we could not find, for example the Wireless network adapter, however this was no problem as once we had installed XP and connected to the web via the Ethernet cable to our Router we were able to run 'Update Driver' for each item missing.
Go to 'Device Manager' via 'Control Panel' then 'System' then 'Hardware'. Then look for any yellow question marks for any problems. Right click and run 'Update Driver' for the hardware update wizard and allow the PC to look on the web 'this time only'.
The ones we did this way were: Wireless adapter, Audio adapter.
Unfortunately an original XP SP2 CD does not contain the required drivers for this laptop. Therefore when you boot the CD it will, after a few minutes of installing files, say that you have a hardware problem as there are no drives present.
To rectify this, you will need to download the correct Intel ICH8M SATA AHCI Controller drivers. I couldn't find this on the Intel website, but instead searched on Google for it. and got it from: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=2101
The other required drivers that we found on the web were:
Intel chipset device software installer
Web page
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=N&ProductID=816&DwnldID=14528 &strOSs=45&OSFullName=Windows* XP Home Edition&lang=eng
Or if this link doesn't work try this:
http://support.intel.com/support/chipsets/inf/sb/CS-021273.htm
Select 'Download Intel chipset software installation utility' on the left hand side and select your operating system 'XP Home'
Select 'INF Update Utility - primarily for Intel 3, 900 series chipsets'
and download it.
Intel graphics driver: Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset
Web page
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=N&ProductID=2800&DwnldID=1438 8&strOSs=45&OSFullName=Windows*%20XP%20Home%20Edit ion&lang=eng
Or if this link doesn't work try this:
http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/intelgm965/
Now select 'software and drivers' on the left hand side and select your operating system 'XP Home'
You will be presented with a list of files.
Select Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Windows* XP (exe)
and download it.
Marvell Yukon Ethernet Driver
Web page
http://www.marvell.com/drivers/driverDisplay.do?dId=175
Or if this link doesn't work try this:
http://www.marvell.com/drivers/search.do?reload=false
On the right hand side, select 'W2000/ XP/2003/Vista x86 & x64 Multi-Language Installer (32-bit and 64-bit) for Yukon Devices'
Creating the XP Drivers disc
Add the SATA drivers to a copy of your XP install CD using a program such as NLite.
You will need enough spare hard drive memory to take a copy of your XP install CD (approx 700MB).
Run the program 'sp37005.exe' and it will install to your hard drive. Don't install to a floppy.
Download 'NLite' from: http://www.nliteos.com/download.html
When you run NLite it will probably say that you need to install '.net Framework', if so, quit NLite and go and find the program. This is a Microsoft program that you can find by searching on Google for the relevant page on the Microsoft website.
Now place your XP install disc in your CD drive, if it autoruns, exit it.
Then run Nlite and follow on screen instructions.
The program will ask where your XP disc is then it will ask where you want to save the copy.
On the 'Task selection' screen select 'Drivers' and 'Bootable ISO'. then press 'Next'.
Now select 'Insert' then 'Multiple Driver folder' and go and find your downloaded SATA driver files. Now select 'All' and 'OK. The program will list the available SATA drivers. Only select the two that mention 'ICH8M'. Now press 'Next'. The screen will show the selected drivers. Press 'Next' again and then 'Yes' to the prompt, and then 'Next' when done
You are now presented with the 'Bootable ISO' screen.
Put a new burnable CD in your CD writer, wait for it to be recognised and exit any window that might pop up to allow you to install files
Now, in Nlite, under 'Mode' select 'Direct Burn'
Under 'Label' enter something like ' XP for Toshiba Equium A200' to identify the disc.
Leave Advanced settings alone and now add in the other required drivers by clicking explore and copying them to the root directory of the temporary XP directory on your hard disc. It might be best to create a 'Drivers' folder in the root directory to make them easy to find later.
Now click the 'Burn' button. Now follow the rest of the instructions to complete.
You have now created an XP install disc which contains your required SATA drivers.
-As you can tell, this is quite convuluted but avoids you having to buy a USB floppy drive and it provides a neat solution.
Hasta La Vista!!
Now you are ready to begin the cleansing process, if you are brave enough to continue....
Firstly, re-boot your laptop and while booting press F12 to change the boot order so that the DVD/CD ROM is first. Alternatively use F2 and then change the Boot order from there.
Now insert your new XP install disc in the DVD/CD drive and re-boot the PC, selecting boot from CD when prompted.
The XP CD will now start copying files and eventually will display an options screen
Select to install Windows.
Then delete the C: hard drive partition (with Vista on)
Delete the F drive partition used by Vista also.
You will have to follow lots of warning prompts to delete the partitions.
Now follow the instructions to create an NTFS partition on the C drive.
Now install XP as instructed.
Don't worry that the graphics are a bit chunky as once Windows has finished installing you can run the graphics driver you copied to the the XP CD to correct this.
Run the three driver files:
win2k_xp14311.exe Intel graphics driver
infinst_autol.exe Intel chipset software installation utility'
setup.exe Marvell Yukon Ethernet Driver
Your graphics should now improve and you should now be able to connect to the web (after running the web setup wizard). But don't do this until you have installed your Antivirus and Firewall software.
Now go to 'Device Manager' via 'Control Panel' then 'System' then 'Hardware'. Then look for any yellow question marks for any problems. Right click and run 'Update Driver' for the hardware update wizard and allow the PC to look on the web 'this time only'.
Hopefully, everything should now run OK.
Now go and have a drink to celebrate!

Macbook pro Retina 16GB Ram, Install Windows 8 Problem

I cant install windows 8 in 32 or 64 bit on my macbook pro retina with 16 GB of RAM
The instalation progran wont let me install windows on the bootcam partition it appears to be a problem with the MBR Partition Table on EFI System and windows can only be installed to GPT disks.

Hey,
if you use windows 8 also for gaming on windows, i would wait until bootcamp is been suitable for windows 8 because for gaming it is much better to do it with bootcamp because Parallels, Fusion etc. are making a detour to use windows ( definately not good for games that score high on graphics).
If you use windows only for utility programs, it is definitely easier to use Parallels 8 etc.
I hope I could help you!
sorry for eventually bad english

Installing windows Xp problem on S12

Hi everybody,
I have bought a nice Lenovo Ideapad S12 with Windows 7. I would like to install Windows Xp in dual boot mode.
I created a usb pendrive with Windows Xp, but after 20 seconds on boot I receive the blue screen with a message that says that windows is stopped to prevent computer damage!!
Note that the same usb pendrive, with windows Xp, goes well in another notebook; the installation of windows Xp goes on well !
Thanks for your support.
Bye.

hal.dll not found
if you get the hal.dll not found error message, start again
from your usb-drive and choose option 2 “gui-installation” which should work
now. (if option 2 doesn't work choose option 4 and “windows xp from hd” on the
next screen.) follow the installation process until you reach a usable windows
desktop. the error message is misleading, it's nothing wrong with your hal.dll
- your boot.ini has a corrupted entry which is easy to fix:
- search for boot.ini (normally it's located on c:\)
- open the boot.ini
- delete the line that referres to “windows-usb-boot” - it
should be the last line
- save & exit

Equium P200-1IR Installing Windows XP Problem - SATA Drivers

Good day,
I will like to know how to go about removing vista from the above Toshiba model and replace with win XP as the SATA HDD denied me.
Your urgent response will be highly appreciated.
Regards
kazeem

Hi!
Its pretty easy to remove Vista and install XP.
First of all, you need a Windows XP CD and license.
To install it, you need the SATA driver or you change the SATA mode in BIOS from AHCI to compatible but so you will lost a little bit performance and I think this is not so good.
The SATA driver is in the Intel Storage Manager and after you booted from CD you must press F6 to load it from an external FDD or you create your own CD with this driver. There is a good tool like nLite.
http://www.nliteos.com/
If you booted from CD, you can format the HDD and delete the partitions.
Bye!

Problem installing Windows 7 64-bit on late 2013 iMac 27"

Is Windows 7 64-bit compatible with this computer?
Hardware and software:
• Late 2013 iMac 27", 3.5 GHz I7, 16 GB memory, 1 TB hard drive (no fusion drive)
• Mac OS 10.9.1
• USB thumb drive
• Boot Camp Assistant 5.1.0
• Windows 7 64-bit install disk iso image downloaded from Microsoft
Install steps:
1. Use Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows 7 install (from iso image) and Apple Support Software (creates WININSTALL USB drive)
2. Use Boot Camp Assistant to create 50 GB Windows partition on iMac internal drive and start Windows install
3. Complete initial install steps until given option to select install partition
4. Select 50 GB partition. Error message that partition is not formatted correctly. Use Advance Options to format (presumably to NTFS)
5. Select 50 GB partition again and click "Next"
6. Get error message "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup log files for more information."
7. Install quits at this point
I have successfully installed Win 7 on another computer (2010 Mac Pro) using these steps. I also tried installation on the iMac using an iso image created from my original Win 7 64-bit install disk, with the same installation error as above.
I'm wondering if Windows 7 and/or Boot Camp is compatible with this iMac. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I am awaiting delivery on the exact model you have and have been researching how much trouble it will be to put 64 bit windows 7 ultimate on my machine when it gets here. I'm not pleased at what I've been reading so far. I have not seen the two other posts but yours is enough to concern me.
Have you also seen that 10.9.1 update may be responsible for this? I've seen where 10.9 caused some problems with the bootcamp app but then the process was completely hosed with the 10.9.1 update. Are you seeing this as well?
Being a life-long mac dude, it pains me when their stuff just doesn't work because it usually just does. ****, that's why I started on a mac in the first place.
The support site says that they come with 90 days of complimentary support. Is this not an issue they should be responsible for addressing via support? Or is that just one long wait on hold waiting to talk to somebody that won't consider this a pure apple issue?
I was also curious if your install .iso contains both 32 and 64 bit versions?

Problem installing windows 8.1 on Bootcamp-yosemite

Hello,
I use iMac(21.5-inch,Mid 2011) and was with OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
I want to install window 8.1 on my iMac by using bootcamp and i have a problem.
First, I have created a bootable USB stick with window 8.1. I started bootcamp assistant and i notice that i have only 2 options: don't have create a window 7 or later version install disk.
So I googling the internet a lot then I found it on youtube. I change the plist file in boot camp assistant by deleting pre and add code on terminal. Then i got a first option(create a window 7 or later version install disk).
I made again a bootable usb stick with window 8.1 from ISO with the bootcamp assistant first option. Then when i restarted the Mac keeping the ALT-Option pressed it was only Macintosh HD , recovery-10.10 and EFI Boot.
Why i don't have window partition? I'm so confused. What i've miss?
Please help,
Thanks.

Problem installing Windows 8.1 on MBP

Ok so I was having bluetooth issue in Windows 7, which is a different issue, so I decided to try Windows 8.1 Pro X64
Using boot camp I get to the part where Windows is asking where to install.
I choose Drive 0 Partition 4: Boot Camp and format it.
Once that is done I click next and I get a message at the bottom saying:
"Setup was unable to use the existing partition because the system volume does not contain the required free space."
Is this talking about the EFI partition? The EFI partition is showing 1mb of free space
There is also another partition: Drive 0 Partition 3 that has 619MB and 0 free.
Also this is an ISO from a Microsoft MSDN account not the regular one.
I think I may try Windows 8 instead and see if that works. Any idea?

A lot of problems after installing Windows XP using Boot Camp on a Mac Book

I have been having a lot of problems after installing Windows XP Home Edition (2002).
For one, after installing Windows using Boot Camp with Mac OS X 10.5.1, I opened Windows on my Mac Book, inserted the Mac OS X Disk 1 as in the instructions and got the message: +"This package requires a newer version of the Windows installer. Do you want to update the version of the Windows Installer on your system?"+ When I clicked Yes (I had NO idea what it meant at the time), I got the message: "The required resource 'UPDATE' is missing" and the Installer quit.
How do I fix this problem?
Another problem I have is that there is no sound on the Windows XP, yet it works perfectly on Mac OS X. Is there any way to fix this problem?
A third problem I have is that I can't wirelessly connect to the internet using Window XP, yet I can on Mac OS X. I have no idea on how to fix this, and it's really messing with me. D:<
D: There are way too many problems, and I have a feeling there will be a lot more later on. Help....

Installing Windows XP with Bootcamp .....Problem,Please help

I have a Macbook Pro running Leopard 10.5.6 and have tried to install Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2. I downloaded the Boot Camp Installation & Setup Guide and have followed the instructions to the letter.
My problem is that when the install is completed and the computer reboots I get a black screen with the following,"Unable to boot from drive, Disk error, press any key to restart".
When I press "any key" nothing happens and the only way to reboot is to turn off the computer and turn it back on holding down the option key.
It then presents the Mac and Windows HD. If I choose the Windows HD the same as above happens again. If I choose the Mac HD the computer operates as normal.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions Cheers

Thanks for you reply.
I have done everything as per the printed instructions.
It does not halt when I select the target partition.
Yes the Bootcamp volume is on the desktop
I am making it the suggested 32 GB.
I never get to the option to choose NTFS.
I get the black screen and message after Windows install is "completed" and the computer tries to reboot to Windows.
If I try to rebot and choose the Windows partition (After closing down and holding down the "option" key) I keep getting the black screen and message) and can go no further.

I get an error message when trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. The message says "windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have anything connected to my computer. How do I fix this?

I'm trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. I went through the process of bootcamp telling it to install windows 7. Once the windows boot manager started an error message came up. The error message says " windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have a usb connected to my computer. I am using windows 7 professional install disc. I can't figure out what i am doing wrong. The same message keeps coming up over and over. Am I doing something wrong or is it something else?

Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
"P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.

Having problems installing Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro w/Boot Camp

Having a problem installing Windows 7 Home Premium (64-Bit) on my Macbook Pro (mid-2010) 13". I use the Boot Camp Assistant, download the necessary drivers and burn them to a disc. I insert my legit Windows 7 install disc, and the process begins but once I get to 'Completing installation', my mac freezes and I have to restart it and delete the partition. This has happened twice. I have contacted Apple and Microsoft and neither of them said that they could help me with the problem so if someone has had a similar issue and found a solution to it, I would really appreciate the help.

Hi S,
You may want to post in the Boot Camp forum where more of those experts hang out: https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp
