Problem while installing windows xp on mac

Hi Friends,
I downloaded boot camp and started installing windows xp. After giving destination for windows to install, windows is asking to reboot. After it reboots, it is showing up the error message "hall.dll file missing or corrupted" when installing . I tried installing different versions of xp and I am using genuine version of xp, but there is no result. Can anyone help me in resolving this issue. I contacted mac support, but there is no support from them.

You should probably post your question in the Boot Camp discussions:

Problem while installing windows xp on 3000 n100..

hi there, i'm new in this and i was wondering..
is anyone can help me with my problem?
i have lep-top, lenovo 3000 n100, type: 0768 - FSG... i corently run on vista ultimate and i want to downgrade it to xp..
when the autorun starts it shows me that i can't install the xp.. and when i try to install xp while booting (i left the cd in the drive and restarted the comp), after the the reset it shows me "press any key to boot from the cd/dvd drive..." and after it the comp shows me that he's loading files form the cd and than a blue screen with an error massage..
can anyone help me please? i'm sick and tierd of vista...

Hello
I have the **EXACT** same 3000 N100 that you have..... I also had Vista pre-installed and disliked it intensely. I spent several days working on downgrading to XP and figured out a very easy way of doing it. I created a step-by-step instruction sheet. Locate the following on this forum.... "I Explain How To Downgrade From Vista To XP On A 3000 N100 Laptop"
Hope this helps you if you have not already downgraded.

Problem while installing windows xp 32bit on mbp

hi i just purchased a early 2011 model macbook pro 13inch and was trying to install the windows xp 32bit on it using boot camp
however as the installation processes where it shuts down to install the windows it comes up with a black screen with the message "setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration..." and just freezes
the laptop itself goes completely silent i hear no cd rom running at all
anyone know wot the problem might be?
any help at this point would be great
thanks

XP support was dropped for 2011 models.
No incentive to develop drivers for new motherboard.
There is a Apple tech note.

- read through the pdf again or in Boot Camp Assistant, should answer most questions.

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....

Use the Flash Drive that came with your computer it has Snow Leopard installed on it. If you lost it or cannot find it then call Apple and they will replace it for you, I don't know how much they will charge.
BTW when installing MS Windows please follow the directions whether you are using Boot Camp or a vitualialization solution (Parallels, Fusion, etc.) had you done this you would not have had any issues.

I just purchased the Mac Mini Server with the intention of replacing Lion Server with Lion for the first hard drive while installing Windows 7 thru Bootcamp on the second hard drive. Is it possible for me to do this? Thanks.

I would use Parallels or VMWare and use the second drive to hold the virtual machine. That way the VM only uses the space that it needs and you can still use the remainder of the drive for other things, not to mention that you would not need to reboot to run windows.
Also Time Machine does not back up a boot camp partition.

Keyboard not responding while installing Windows XP sevice pack 2

Hi,
I am new to macworld, Just got Macbook and try to use bootcamp to install windows xp, but keyboard did not respond hence got stuck at this point. Please help me. how to make keyboard working while installing windows xp using bootcamp. I know that for non-portable Mac USB mouse and keyboard can be used but whats need to be done for portable Mac like Macbook

I have been scouring the internet on my limited dial-up connection trying to find someone who had a definitive solution to this problem which I too have been stuck with.
What finally resolved this keyboard problem during that critical stage in the win xp setup was by:
1. Going to System Preferences>Keyboard and Mouse and check-marking "USE ALL F1, F2 ETC. KEYS AS STANDARD FUNCTION KEYS (when this option is selected, press the Fn key to use the special features printed on each key)" Before starting up Boot Camp,
2. and Unplugging the Mighty Mouse from the keyboard while my mac was rebooting.
Switching out the apple keyboard for a standard USB keyboard did not work (perhaps in hindsight, i should have plugged it in first before boot camp rebooted and tried to install win xp;)
Attempting time after time again did not solve the issue;
Neither did doing all the software updates, firmware updates and such while borrowing an ethernet cable connection from my local library;
I did not need to find another Win XP with SP2 nor did I need to find a USB keyboard;
Not even updating my Mac OS X from 10.5.2 to 10.5.5 or installing the new firmwares for the Apple aluminium keyboard was necessary it seems.
Just a simple checkmark to make the apple keyboard's F-keys primary and unplugging the Mouse from the keyboard before the WinXP install kicked in, allowed me to press Enter to proceed with the installation.
I also turned off the special functions of the mighty mouse like the center click and roll ball, but I felt obligated to post the solution to this problem - Do as you would be done by.
Hope this helps others who encounter this same problem, please confirm if I am correct. Good luck.

Installing windows 7 on mac book pro late 2013

Installing Windows 7 on Mac Book Pro Late 2013
Background
Mac Book Pro Late 2013 uses a USB 3.0 hub for the external ports, the keyboard and mouse devices.
Windows 7 does not have the drivers to support USB 3.0 ports so these must be integrated into the boot.wim and install.win files so that Win7 can be installed and used on a Mac. If these drivers are not integrated when win7 is booted up then the mouse and keyboard will not function.
Requirements:
Two USB Flash drives
Access to a Mac computer
Bootcamp Assistant application
Access to a Windows computer with windows 7 installed
Windows 7 install disk or ISO file
WinUSB application
Windows Automated Installation Kit for Windows 7 (WAIK)
Method
On a Mac
First prepare a USB Flash drive by formatting it using disk util app, found in Application Utility folder, to FAT format this will store the Apple drivers that can be downloaded from Apple using BootCamp.
This will be called USB1
Using Boot Camp Assistant select 'Download the latest windows support software from Apple' to get the files from apple for win7 for your particular machine these will be downloaded and copied to the USB Flash drive called USB1.
On a PC
Using a PC download a copy of WinUSB from www.joshcellsoftwares.com this software can create a bootable USB with the win 7 files copied on to it.
Obtain a copy of Windows 7 either in DVD or ISO format.
Using WinUSB and the Win7 DVD create a second bootable USB Flash drive. This will be called USB 2.
About DISM
DISM is a windows application that allows the editing of windows image files with the extension of WIM.
If DISM is not installed on the PC it can be downloaded from windows website.
To test to see if DISM is installed, open up a command prompt. Then type 'dism' without the quotes this will display the help description of DISM.
Drivers
The apple drivers need to be added to the boot.wim file so that mouse and keyboard can function during the setup phase.
The apple drivers need to be added to the install.wim so that mouse and keyboard can function after the setup phase.
The video drivers are also added as it appears to cause problems if they are not included.
Create a directory structure like this:
c:\appleboot\
drvrs
mount
win7x64install
win7x64boot
Create the following files in c:\appleboot\ with the following code:
adddrivers.cmd
color 0a
dism /image:c:\appleboot\mount /add-driver /driver:c:\appleboot\drvrs /recurse
================================================================================ ==========
mountboot.wim.cmd
color 0a
dism /mount-wim /wimfile:c:\appleboot\boot.wim /index:2 /mountdir:c:\appleboot\mount
================================================================================ ==========
mountinstall.wim.cmd
color 0a
dism /mount-wim /wimfile:c:\appleboot\install.wim /index:4 /mountdir:c:\appleboot\mount
================================================================================ ==========
unmountcommitfiles.cmd
color 0a
dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:c:\appleboot\mount /commit
================================================================================ ==========
Copy the following files into their respective directories:
Copy from USB 1 into drvrs the $WinPEDriver$ directory
Copy from USB 2 \sources\boot.wim to win7x64boot directory, this will store the original file
Copy from USB 2 \sources\install.wim to win7x64install directory, this will store the original file
Then copy boot.wim from win7x64boot directory to the c:\appleboot\ directory
Then copy install.wim from win7x64install directory to the c:\appleboot\ directory
Once all the copying is completed then run the following cmd files in this order:
For boot.wim
mountboot.wim.cmd - this will mount the file for adding of drivers
adddrivers.cmd - this will add the apple drivers to the mounted boot.wim
unmountcommitfiles.cmd – this will commit the changes and unmount the boot.wim
For install.wim
mountinstall.wim.cmd- this will mount the file for adding of drivers
adddrivers.cmd - this will add the apple drivers to the mounted install.wim
unmountcommitfiles.cmd – this will commit the changes and unmount the install.wim
Copy the files back to USB 2
Copy the boot.wim and install.wim files from c:\appleboot\ directory to USB 2 sources directory and overwrite the files.
BOOTABLE USB
You will now have a bootable USB Flash Drive that has the additional drivers needed to install Win7 on Mac Book Pro Late 2013.
Mac Preparation
On your Mac using Disk Util reduce the size of the partition of Macintosh HD so that there is approx. 80GB free for the use of Win7.
Add a second partition, label it win7 and format it to FAT. This is so that win 7 setup can identify the correct partition.
Installing Windows 7
Insert USB 2 into your Mac and reboot, whilst holding the option key down.
After reboot there will be three icons displayed one is the Mac operating system, the second is the recovery partition and the third is an orange icon indicating a bootable USB drive.
Select this and win7 setup application will proceed to boot up with the keyboard and mouse functioning.
Follow the prompts and when the drive selection appears select the win7 partition and format it to NTFS so that win7 can be installed. When windows setup reboots press and hold down the option key and select the windows partition so that setup can continue to install.
After completion of installation of win7 insert USB 1 with the additional apple drivers. Goto the bootcamp directory and click on setup.exe file this will install additional drivers needed to use Win7 on a Mac.
Once completed reboot your Mac and select windows to allow the drivers to update in windows.

Yes this is correct that the /index:4 refers to the ultimate version of windows in mountinstall.wim.cmd
dism /mount-wim /wimfile:c:\appleboot\install.wim /index:4 /mountdir:c:\appleboot\mount
Users should do what applekryzzle suggested if you have a different version of windows. Thanks for the tip applekryzzle.
With regards to the Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller drivers they are the ones that are provided by apple via boot camp assistant.
These appear to work correctly and downloading as per instructions simplifies the procedure.
For those that are interesred the updated drivers can be found here https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=22824&ProdId=346 7&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%207%20%20*&DownloadType=Drivers
I have also seen in other discussions that some users get black screens i believe that it is the lack of video drivers which is included in the download from apple using boot camp assistant.
I'm certain that this works on Mac Book Pro Late 2013 models and i feel confident that this will work with other models.
I will appreciate any feedback if this works on other models.
