Installing XP via 98SE to run natively on Intel chip

I'm inching toward getting a Power Mac Dual Core G5 where I could set up a dual-boot system with Windows with BootCamp. As far as I've been able to discern from these forums, only Windows XP can run natively on the new Intel chips. Fine, I have XP on my PC, but I don't have a full version for installing, only a version for updating earlier versions of Windows. Do you reckon it would be possible to install Windows 98SE on the G5 without trying to run it, and then to update it with my update version? Somehow it would seem a bit ironic to switch to Mac and then have to run out and buy Windows XP.

My apologies for not being entirely clear... there is a single processor Dual Core G5. (One processor, two cores). I re-read my first post and realize I poorly worded my reply to you.
The Core Duo is an Intel processor. Not yet availible for the PowerMac.
The Dual Core G5 is a PowerPC processor. Again, since it's a PowerPC processor, Boot Camp & Parallels are a no-go for the PowerMac right now.
Apple has publically indicated that all Macs will be available with Intel processors by the end of the year. The PowerMacs will have Intel processors in due time. Apple just decided to redesign the iMac first... whatever their reason might have been.

Hi,
When you say you get an error message running the MacOS x installer disc, is it when you boot on the CD or when you insert the disc in your SuperDrive during an open session? Have you tried booting from the CD and running the Apple Hardware Test? From your list of trouble, it looks like a bad RAM, or maybe a corrup hard drive sector, but it could be something else entirely. Next time you boot, try verbose (press Command-V right after the gong), you'll see every step of boot on screen, it'll give some indication as to what makes your MBP hang up. You can also try to run AppleJack in Single-User mode (first install AppleJack ; download from here : http://applejack.sourceforge.net/ ; install as admin is required ; boot in SU by pressing Command-S at the gong): it's done wonders on my machine more than once...
"Oh, one more thing"... Is there anything connected to your MBP via USB/Firewire/Bluetooth? If so, try and unplug/disconnect everything, then boot up, just so we can rule a bad driver out.

I running snow leopard on my MBP- where can I find the drivers for windows XP if I install them via bootcamp? Thanks!

You won't find them until you are in Windows.
Helps to read even print the guide.
If you have auto run enabled, which is a security risk, the Apple setup.exe will run.
Otherwise, just run that.
Either use your OS X DVD, or use the drivers downloaded by Boot Camp Assistant.
Two different ways to get them.

What is a good program to install windows via a flashdrive...Have the iso

What is a good program to install windows via a flashdrive...Have the iso...

What are you trying to do?
You can install Windows in a Boot Camp partition and have a Dual Boot system where you run one operating system at a time. Either Windows or Mac OS X.
Or you can use one of the 3 available virtual machine software parograms to install Windows in a virtual machine on top of Mac OS X. Then you can run both Windows and OS X at the same time.
If you go with the Boot Camp option then you really need to burn that ISO file onto a DVD disc as Boot Camp likes to install from disc.
If you go with the virtual machine option then you can use that ISO file as it is to install Windows. You will just point the VM to the USB thumb drive to find the Windows OS to do the install from.

Is installing Windows via bootcamp bad for my hardrive? (It crashed)

Hello,
I purchased my new Macbook Pro 13" in January of this year, and my hardrive recently completely crashed. I was lucky enough to have Apple pay for a new hd, but I really want to know what caused it. The only thing I can think of that makes any sort of sense is that installing Windows via bootcamp screwed up the hardrive somehow and caused it to fail from getting worked too much from always restarting into Windows / having too much of my hd dedicated to Windows (150 gb of my 750gb SATA hd). I dont know if any of this makes sense, or if I just got really unlucky and got a bad hd from the factory. I have never physically damaged my macbook (like dropping it or whatever) and have never stored it in extremely hot or cold temperatures. The copy of Windows I installed was legit and everything....so I am scared to reinstall windows in fear that my hd will fail again
So my question is this...... is there any way that the bootcamp partition could have cause my hd to fail? Is it safe to go ahead and install windows again?
Thank you for you time.

I have never heard of bootcamp causing hard drive failure. I think it is more likely that you were unlucky and ended up with a bad drive. Something like 1 in 100,000 fail, that 1 has to land on someone. If you are worried about bootcamping again I would recommend Parallels or VMWare Fusion. They are both excellent virtualization applications and offer a soft cap on the windows partition size because it is a file kept inside of OSX instead of a physical partition. I have been running Parallels for 6 months with no problems.
Best,
Stuart-

I'm having this issue as well only with a little different twist I guess. I'm transferring the iWorks applications from my Macbook Pro 3,1 with Lion to a new MBP 10,1 running Mountain Lion. I transferred the apps over using DropCopy since the older MBP doesn't have AirPlay. Applications show up but crash upon opening. This is the first install so there are no previous plist, versions or such to delete. All three crashed upon opening every time until I just had to have Keynote and purchased again - although Apple agreed to refund that purchase since my previous version quit working. Any ideas since I don't have any previous plist/versions to delete? Thanks in adavnce for any help you can offer.

Install windows via bootcamp on macbook pro maverick

I am trying to install wiondows via bootcamp on maverick (I have some tools for which parallels won't do)
I have downloaded an iso image of windows seven from microsoft
I have follwed the instructions on bootcamp utility
The bootcamp utility has formatted my USB key
My Macbook drive was partitionned by bootcamp tool
But now what should I do ?
When I just start the mac it says
No Bootable device -- insert boot disk and press key
If I keep option pressed while the computer starts
I can see three volumes
The Maverick volume (When I select it it launches maverick)
The recovery volume that is an apple tool for reinstalling a fresh maverick
My USB volume called windows
When I select my windows volume it says no bootable device -- insert boot disk
What can I do ?
Thanks

Lilly,
since you just got your new MacBook Pro, at this point I’d recommend making an appointment at an Apple store to show them what’s happening when you run Boot Camp Assistant. Be sure to take your Windows 7 disc and your USB SuperDrive with you, so you can show them how it currently behaves. Please include in your reply whether they were able to resolve the problem, and if so, how they did it, so that future readers of this discussion can benefit from your experience.

Installing Plugins via Terminal (Mac)

I would like to be able to install plugins in Extension Manager via terminal and enable the installed plugins for a specific set of extensions (InCopy). I have downloaded the Adobe Extension Manager Help and Tutorials document and it explains the process of installing plugins via terminal. But when I run the install command, it actually launches Extension Manager in the console.
I want to be able to install extensions and plugins silently and even when the user is not logged in. Is this possible and can someone point me to a document which explains the process?

For your coworker's issue, besides database file and plugin files, you also have to include files in EM Store folder and Mxi Flag folder.
If your extension is per-machine extension (all files in extension will be installed to per-machine location), you have to include "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/Configuration/DB/ExMan.db", "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/EM Store/InCopy CS6/*.*" and "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/Mxi Flag/InCopy CS6/*.*"
If your extension is per-user extension (all files in extension will be installed to folder under user home), you have to include "/Users/<UserName>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/Configuration/DB/ExManUser.db", "/Users/<UserName>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/EM Store/InCopy CS6/*.*" and "/Users/<UserName>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/Mxi Flag/InCopy CS6/*.*".
You also have to ensure all the machines have the same user name.

Installing Rosetta via command line?

Is it possible to install Rosetta via the command line? I have a mac that I have ssh and administrative access to and need to install rosetta to run an application. I know that Rosetta can be installed over the internet when using the GUI interface to the OS, but can this be done using the command line?
Thanks!

I think what you are asking is not possible. If you did not install Rosetta you have two options, download from the web usually initiated by a program that needs it to run, or from your original install DVD --> Optional Installs package.

You may want to grab NeoOffice instead. NeoOffice is the OS X version of OpenOffice and runs natively in OS X. No need for X11.

Problem trying to install XP via Boot Camp, computer almost died

Hi there,
I just recently purchased a 24" 2.8Ghz intel iMac 500GB harddrive with OS X 10.5.2. I plugged everything together yesterday morning and the computer was going fine, just liek a dream. On a side note I was genuinely impressed with the ease of setting up and how quick, intuitive and reliable the mac and OS X Leopard was.
This is a bit long but I think I need to go into detail what happened in order for any of you to fully understand what happened to my mac.
Later in the afternoon I decided to install Win XP via Boot Camp. I knew that XP SP2 or later and VISTA was recommended but I decided to use my XP Home Edition "2002 version" install disc instead.
I opened up the Boot Camp Assistant, partitioned 15GB of the 500GB harddrive, inserted WinXP install disc and the computer restarted with everything going to plan thus far. I was going through the install process as normal but I came to a window asking which partition to use to install XP ("c" or "d") or if I wanted to create another partition. I also had my iPod still connected to the computer and I think the installation recognised that harddrive too (all 12GB of space left on my iPod). I wasn't sure what to do so I decided to quit the install process by pressing the relevent keys ("press F3 to quit" etc). Upon automatically restarting the computer I first came to a white screen for about1 or so minutes and then a black screen came up with white text asking me to "press any key to 'something' the CD" (can't remember what the rest of the text was), but the keyboard was unresponsive. I turned the computer off and unplugged it as according to the instruction manual that came with the mac, waited the suggested 5-6 seconds, turned it back on but I came across the same screens. I couldn't eject the XP install disc either. I restarted the computer again, held down the eject button whilst restarting, the disc thankfully ejected but I then came across the same black screen but with no text, just a white flashing underscore cursor. I decided to remove my iPod and restart the computer again. AGAIN I came across the same white screen, then black screen with the flashing white underscore cursor and unresponsive keyboard. I decided to insert the OS X install disc 1 (I don't remember if I inserted it whilst at the black screen or if I restarted the computer and THEN inserted the OS X install disc). The disc loaded slowly but I eventually went through the install process (choosing your language) and then came across a window asking me "Where would you like to install OS X?" but I couldn't install it anywhere. I opened "disk utility" or some program with the word "disk" in it, had no idea what I was doing, somehow created a new volume (though I thought I was actually erasing the XP partition I set up earlier) but in MS-DOS FAT Format or something. I then was able to choose a place (or volume) to install OS X but I had to change the format of the untitled volume from FAT to something along the lines of "Mac OS X journaled (enabled)" (whatever that means). There were other format options available but I just chose the top one on the list (Mac OS X journaled (enabled)). I then made a full install of OS X 10.5.2 and late last night downloaded the latest pdate for Leopard (10.5.4) along with other updates. The computer is working fine now thankfully andeverything seems to be back to normal.
I just want to know what actually happened. What did happen to my computer? Did I somehow wipe the harddrive? Why didn't the computer reboot to HDD when I ejected the WinXP install disc? Which format is the HDD formatted to? What does "Mac OS X journaled (enabled)" mean? Also how come my HDD is 500GB whereas when I checked Boot Camp Asistant a second time (but not installing Win XP again) My HDD is 460GB with 440GB of available space? Is there still another partition I am unable to see? Is there an extra 40GB of data floating around the harddrive that I'm unaware of? What are the factory settings for my computer? I really hope I haven't formatted the disk and installed the OS to settings that weren't like how the computer was originally set BEFORE I regrettably tried to install WinXP via Boot Camp.
If anyone could respond or give me some sort of advice, explanation or help I would very much appreciate your assistance.
Cheers.

According to wiki "the documentation from Apple states that Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista is requisite for a Boot Camp installation, and it also mentions that trying to install an unsupported operating system could prevent the computer from booting even into Mac OS X". Sure that was from wiki, but it does seem to support and somewhat validate the problem I had with installing an earlier edition of XP.

Thanks for the info on the Filesystem info. My problem is that installing OS X on a mac is just a little bit more technical than installing Windows on a PC as there are a few more things to consider. Plus I'm not familiar with any of the utility programs as well. It's a **** miracle I managed to somehow create a volume to install OS X on when I thought I was erasing the partition I created for WinXP.
But I'm still not sure about the missing 40GB from my 500GB HDD. Upon coming to the desktop straight after OS X was fully re-installed I noticed that the HDD only had 460GB and that 440GB of it available space. So the full installation of OS X was 20GB, but where has the other 40GB gone? I swear I saw that I had much more available space on my harddrive (BEFORE I tried to partition my HDD under Boot Camp Assistant and stuffing up the computer). Is the missing 40GB from the ORIGINAL FACTORY INSTALL of OS X INCLUDING all my iTunes music and other files I uploaded to the computer earlier? It would make sense but there's no way, as far as I know, of checking this. Any ideas?
Cheers.

I just tried running the Lenovo Hard Drive Quick Test both in normal mode and in safe mode. Both times it indicated a failed read test on the HDD. The last two tests also failed. I forget what those tests were called.
I am really beginning to think I have a bad HDD and the problem just happens to be in the reserved partition where my factory system software resides.

Need to Install Safari 6.0.2 on a white Intel core duo iMac. Had to throw out 6.0.3 because of conflict with required software. Downloaded wrong version that was for Mountain lion (I am running 10.7.5). It installs but won't open.

Of course I can't throw it away since I get a message it's part of the sytem. I can show package contents and throw those away, but evidently not a good idea!!
