osxfan156 Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) Is it possible to run SP1 on mac (I don`t have the SP2 disc) Or i have to get Vista/The SP2 Disc? Also if i need SP2 is it that it will go crazy since the drivers don`t work or what? Thanks!

Xpcreate has worked well in the past for me. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/45631-windows-xp-sp1-on-mac/#findComment-326533 Share on other sites More sharing options...
osxfan156 Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 User2 what do you mean by that? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/45631-windows-xp-sp1-on-mac/#findComment-326536 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollcage Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 User2 what do you mean by that? It means that you will take your install disc, combine them with the SP2 files, and make a new installation disc that has SP2 and can be used with bootcamp.

No i have a SP1 Disc But My PC CANT burn to DVD`s. And i said its Vista for me becouse my dad has a PC witch gets Vista free. So ill see if we can get a CD when he upgrades.
