nikg_v1 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I recently installed Leapord on my MBP and so far so good. The problems I've been having came about when I started to partition for XP. I used Boot Camp (which I noticed was ver 2, instead of 1.3 like I've seen on here, etc) to install it, and all went smoothly until it restarted in Windows. The screen went black and gave a prompt to boot from CD, then gave a 'disk error'. Its done this 3 times. I've tried getting help for a buddy of mine in a networking program, and he's stumped too. Any help from you guys here? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/56586-xp-install-probelms-with-leapord-boot-camp-20/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_olsen Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I think there's something messed up with Leopard's Boot Camp. In the beginning, before all of my troubles began, I tried to simply format the partition I used for Leopard's installation files and install Windows on it. Windows XP gave me the same error, no matter what. And Vista refused to install, because it said it was using GPT partition scheme. You know, I was wondering. since Windows XP x64 supports EFI, wouldn't it be able to run, without Boot Camp?

Paul2660 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Matt good point on the EFI for XP 64 edition. I also thought of that, but there currently (as far as I know of) are no drivers for the XP 64 bit OS. Some people early on tried to install it and then find the drivers from each company, but I don't remember anyone finding most of them including the correct ATI and network drivers. I was hoping that with the XP 64 edition, you could install native on the MacBook Pro and then just blow away the mac drive altogether. The OS will not find with the correct driver many of the important pieces and since Apple is the main resource for suppling the drivers, I guess they will not be doing a 64 bit set maybe becuase of the EFI support? On the issue of boot camp 2.0 and Leapord, did you call Apple? I was curious as I thought that with Leapord, it was no longer a beta and thus you could call Apple. Curious to know what they said.

matt_olsen Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Leopard IS beta, actually, it's not even beta, it's more like an alfa or something. I can't call them first, because there is no support for unfinished products, including BootCamp 1.3 for Tiger and also I (like many people who use Leopard) haven't received it at WWDC, so if someone does call, that won't be me. Oh, and also, I'm from Bulgaria, and here they don't even have an Apple store, just representatives. So good luck!

Paul2660 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 My mistake, I hadn't followed as close on Leapord, and just assumed it was now out since the Iphone was out. I thought the iphone needed Leapord for some reason.

nikg_v1 Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 Yeah, I finally figured out that I had gone through the wrong formatting process. :pirate2: I've got XP Pro running now, but the Boot Camp won't let me burn the drivers disc. The option isn't there. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/56586-xp-install-probelms-with-leapord-boot-camp-20/#findComment-404790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_olsen Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 How did you do it? Please, tell me! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/56586-xp-install-probelms-with-leapord-boot-camp-20/#findComment-404795 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikg_v1 Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 As always, I partitioned with Boot Camp. Followed instructions from there, and installed Windows. Just make sure to format the partition as a FAT 32. NTFS doesn't wanna work. Thats how I did it anyway. Now I just have to hunt down an audio driver that'll detect the audio card in my MBP.

matt_olsen Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 The problem is that Boot Camp doesn't work on my iMac. But about your problem: you can download Bootcamp form apple, then on the boot camp icon right click, select Show Package Contents. Look around and you will find a disc image with the drivers that you can burn to a cd Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/56586-xp-install-probelms-with-leapord-boot-camp-20/#findComment-404845 Share on other sites More sharing options...
