GBK.Xscape Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 well of course it is supported but did you update firmware before installing? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35847-bootcamp-bluescreen-crash/#findComment-255120 Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncleBubby Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 (edited) I had a similar experience. Even though the apple site says that the latest firmware is needed and is supposed to be MBP12.0061.B03 for the 17", when I tried to run the update it told me it wasn't needed. The firmware that is in there now is MBP21.00A5.B01. I can't tell from the build numbers what is right. Do I go ahead and force the firmware upgrade (if I can)? *update* Decide to try and do the upgrade anyway and it won't let me Thanks, Bubby Edited December 15, 2006 by UncleBubby Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35847-bootcamp-bluescreen-crash/#findComment-255909 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue appears to be with the drivers installed by the drivers disk afterwards. THe XP install itself goes well enough, but the reboot after the drivers are installed is what causes my problem I think Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35847-bootcamp-bluescreen-crash/#findComment-257144 Share on other sites More sharing options...
