PaulieG Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 (edited) Hi all, I just purchased a Mac Pro the other day and would like to use BootCamp to install my Windows XP PC image that I ghosted today onto a 20GB partition on the new Mac. I used Symantec Ghost to make an image of my PC's C drive with the intention of not having to do a clean XP install on the Mac partition; I'm hoping to have a partition for XP that I can log into exactly as my PC lets me do now, but on my Mac. Is this possible, or will there be hardware/driver issues? My HD is 120GB. Thank you, Paulie Edited February 27, 2007 by PaulieG Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43725-installing-my-xp-image-onto-a-mac-partition-via-symantec-ghost-image/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonpool Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 In my memory, to restore an OS from an image file requires the target parttion has the same size as the partition used to create the image file. But I'm pretty sure later versions of the tools should not have this restriction. Hardware drivers will be definitely an issue. Windows activation will be another issue. To me it's just not worth trying to use an OS image in bootcamp partition.
