Which Windows XP Pro version should I install, SP2 or SP3 ?

I just purchased an iMac 21. I need to install Windows XP Pro. Which version of XP Pro should I install ? SP2 or SP3 ?

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
both are fine to be installed on a Mac.
If you already have a XP with SP2, install it and later use the stand-alone SP3 updater.

Windows XP Pro SP1 Won't Install - Yes It Can Workaround : )

Just posting this as a help for others...
I'm doing this to get Windows XP Professional onto a 2006 MacBookPro. I've already swapped in a 320GB hard-drive and partitioned it with BootCamp assistant. You need to be connected to power and have a USB keyboard handy. I used an aluminium mac keyboard with mighty-mouse attached directly to it.
So, following the Apple instructions to partition the hard-disk and install, everything went more or less okay. However once set-up and with XP running, the whole seamless process grinds to a halt because the SP1 version of XP can't 'see' the optical drive and other mac internals. To get around this you need to do a little bit more work but I can confirm I do now have XP working fine on my machine.
So here's how the workaround went for me:
1. Follow the apple Boot Camp Installation & Setup Guide instructions until you get to Step 3 on page 12. At this point you probably get stuck because Windows can't 'see' the DVD, it won't auto-run and you can't navigate to it in MyComputer.
2. Eject the XP disk, exit windows and re-start back in OSX. In Safari go to the MS Downloads Centre and download "Windows XP Service Pack 2 Network Installation Package for IT Professional & Developers" to your downloads folder.
3. Move the WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe file you get to MyDocuments in your Administrator area on the BootCamp partition.
4. Navigate to: www.windowsreference.com/general/error-there-is-not-enough-disk-space-when-inst alling-sp3/ and print off these instructions.
4. Restart in XP and follow the tweak detailed above. This will stop your installation failing due to a false out of space warning. (On the MBP I needed to connect the USB and keyboard-connected mouse in order to get it to detect a right-click).
5. Then run the .exe file transferred from Safari earlier. Everything should update to SP2 (not SP3 as the update file suggests).
6. Shutdown and restart again in Windows. When it restarts just let it do its thing and don't sign up to any security updates or join any networks or anything - you do all this later. (During my install the machine got hung-up whilst shutting down - I just forced power off by holding down the power button and it restarted fine).
7. Log on as administrator and insert the Leopard installation disk. Carry on from where you left off the BootCamp Installation instructions. Ignore the annoying pops and ding-dong noises and go make yourself a cup of tea until its finished.
8. When you come back there may be a couple of 'wizard' windows holding up the final bit. Click continue here and should all finish tidily. Restart when you're ready.
I'm not an IT guy so please don't ask me techie stuff. I just got lucky and got this working so am posting my experience. If it's helpful for you please just go do something nice for someone when you perhaps might not otherwise have done. I believe what goes around comes around. : )

Since your Powerbook connects flawlessly to the Airport Express, I too would assume you have a marginally defective wireless interface in your PC. See if you are allowed to buy a replacement wireless card, with the option to replace it if that fails to solve your problem.

Qlogic what firmware version should be installed

I'm having trouble with a couple of new qlogic 5600 switches (the switch wants to assign my clients as target and not initiators). which firmware version should be installed on the switches? i'm having quite a lot of trouble with this upgrade and any input would be greatly appreciated. thanks

thanks for your reply Donald. I did manage to get the FC switch and hba cards working properly. I was aware of the device scan and streamgard settings on the switch, but the feedback i was getting from the switch was worrisome (some targets were listed as initiators on the switch and vicaversa). What solved the problem for me was to load the latest qlogic firmware 7.0.1...(i think), and it started giving the correct devices on each port. The new firmware also allowed me to log on to the switch through a web browser on my mac and not the antiquated "San Surfer" java app that came with the switches. I also had to set my hba to point-to-point and not automatic. I also set my arrays to point to point as well. I have 2 xserve RAIDs and a new promise array all set for "point-to-point". The old emulex switch we were using before was much nicer to work with than the qLogic switches that I just installed, and I found myself longing for the simplicity of the setup on the emulex.
Everything is working great now...I'm getting very fast throughput (250mb/sec).
The only remaining grief is that everytime I quit the admin app and relaunch it, it won't reconnect with my mdc's and i have to delete the xsan admin preference in my admin/library/preferences/ folder to reattach the admin app and administer my san. any ideas?

Read the installation guide - Enterprise version only.
> 2.SQL 2000 is ok? or must use SQL 2005?
Both work but I would go for SQL 2005 (or even SQL 2008).
> 3.x32 is ok? or must use x64?
You should use 64bit wherever possible on new installations.

I transferred big files from windows to my macbook, should I install anti-virus on macbook pro?

I transferred big files from windows to my macbook because I wanted to retire my old PC, should I install anti-virus on macbook pro because of those files I moved? Would you recommend? Or should I feel comfortable since I'm using OS X Mavericks? Anybody with the same case? Thanks.

Files moved from a Windows machine may contain malware, but that malware would not be a threat to your Mac. Windows malware cannot infect a Mac.
As for protecting your Mac against Mac malware, see my Mac Malware Guide.

I need more free space on BootCamp drive after installation of Windows 8 pro. what should I do?

Initially partitioned 18.6GB for BootCamp for Windows, now at least need 300MB free space. Would like to allocate 80 GB to Windows system . Should I uninstall windows 8 pro and start over again. Would it cause some damage to IMac?

> After installing Windows 8 PRO I cannot play a dvd. The trouble seeker says: The hardware can not start due to damaged or incomplete config info in the register (code 19).
If you would use the Toshiba forums Advantage search option, then you would find this info:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/bulletinDetail.jsp?pf=true&soid=3516888
+If the TOSHIBA Recovery Media Creator or TOSHIBA Disc Creator are installed on the HDD, there might be a issue between Win 8 and mentioned software+
+So uninstall these tools, then restart your PC using the Power-->Restart option in Windows 8. Your CD/DVD should be accessible now.+

new imac running lion 10.7.2 partitioned HD for duel boot and successfully installed windows xp pro (sp2)....have internet through eithernet cable on the mac side but no internet connection on the windows side....need drivers???? please help

I too am running xp spiii on my mac with lion. However I installed xp while running snow leopard then upgraded to lion and both are running fine. If you have the support disc that came with the imac all the relevant drivers are on there. The only other thing i would suggest is that you get spiii and upgrade to that.

Is the final cut pro application too large for my 13" mac pro or should I install it on an external drive?

Is the final cut pro application too large for my mac book pro laptop? Should I install it on a hard drive?

4 GB hard drive!?! It's a memory size not hard drive size Your hard drive is much bigger than 4 GB . If you have 2011 model then hard drive size is 500GB or 750 GB HDD. You can install final cut pro and many other programs .

How to find which windows account owns oracle i.e Installed oracle

Hi,
I want to write a script which tells me the name of the Windows account that was used to Install oracle on a machine.
How can I do this and where can I get this information. I have seen the registries. This information is not there.
please help

hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I had seen the logs but they are not a very convincing thing. If you have had multiple installations and deinstallations, you will have as many logs in that directory. I have to read this information through scripts.
It wouldnt be good if I have to read 5-6 log files each around 500KB to 2 MB in size to extract this information, because I have other operations waiting for the output of this script.
Another problem is that the file names are not consistent. Also, installation and deinstallation logs cannot be differentiated based on file name or any other parameter.
So I think there might be an alternative way. any ideas?

W2k8 is 32-bit,which oracle 10g version should be installed?

Hi everyone,
I am a new DBA. Now I will install Oracle 10g on w2k8. I found w2k8 is 32-bit system, i am wandering which oracle 10g version I should install?
Thanks!

Go to http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/index.html
Note that Windows 2008 explicitly is listed against 11.1.0.7
Therefore, you can assume that 11.1.0.7 is the first that definitely supports W2008.
And you can assume that anything older than that line is definitely not supported.
And if it is not supported (as is the case for 10g), you can assume that you will run into some kind of problem either during installation or (worse) at some unknown time later.
You can probably find some workaround to make it appear to work. Which is fine ... it's your job. (At least until it stops working.)
