Boot Camp Leopard and windows XP
By AkH, 3 years, 2 months ago, modified Dec. 7, 2008
It was a long time, since I needed to install windows XP on a Mac with Boot Camp, a lot changed ...
My first bootcamp was on a macbook core duo, then on an Imac 24 white, still working and no issue during the install.
But now I need to install a recent XP on an Imac 20 alu.
Don't expect to install windows XP SP3 directly, it does not work at all, after many tries I found some informations that says: Install bootcamp 2.1 (Leopard is shipped with 2.0), then install sp3.
In fact BootCamp 2.1 is a windows only executable and it's just fresh windows drivers that permits SP3 installation, don't know why Apple call it "Bootcamp 2.1", people like me will expect a Mac update ...
So first install Windows XP SP2, then BootCamp 2.1 for windows XP (inside your windows), then install Service Pack 3 from Microsoft.
For some stupid reasons I've also run into a strange issue, Disk error after windows XP SP2 installation, seems you need to delete the Bootcamp partition created by the mac and create it again inside the windows installer, read this apple doc.
Also think to remove all externals drives, or it will not boot correctly.
EDIT: Not finished, hal.dll problem and Disk error: If you fornat in NTFS you will suffer the hal.dll issue, if you fornat FAT32 boot disk issue.
Finally all my problems with SP2 had the same origin: this problem appears only on 10.5 with an "answer file" windows XP installation cd, an installer that answers all the questions for you. It's new in Leopard (cause the same cd worked with Tiger).
Confirmed another CD that asks all questions work better, don't know if it's a good way to find a good cd, but the one that worked ask to type F for format, the other don't.
One afternoon for this stupid windows installation.

You people are doing great job. Keep up the good work and continue providing us more quality information from time to time.
The General Education Development (GED or GED Online) testing program permits adult students to apply for an equivalency certificate. At Sandford High School you can earn yourself a regular <b><a href="http://www.sandfordhighschool.com/" title="High School Diploma">High School Diploma</a></b> which is better than a General Education Development program. Once you have a regular diploma, you can apply for better jobs rather than if you had a GED, <b><a href="http://www.sandfordhighschool.com/" title="GED Online">GED Online</a></b>.

adore in <a href="http://www.coachstorehandbags.com/coach-new-arrivals-c-1.html">Coach New Arrivals</a> a saddlebag like
this. Just in time for winter tweeds and browns, the color of this bag will also easily transition into spring wardrobes
because of <a href="http://www.mulberryoutlet-sale.com/mulberry-clutch-bags-c-6.html">Mulberry Clutch Bags</a> its light hue.
While the inside is not entirely lined with suede, there are suede accents along with a stamped canvas

fastening tab for the fold-over flap. It has been a while since a Mulberry bag stood out on my radar, and the Evelina is
quite cute.After I wrote the title for this post, I realized that I am an over-user of
<a href="http://www.coachstorehandbags.com/coach-new-arrivals-c-1.html">Coach New Arrivals</a> the word chic. Still, though,
many times it seems like a fitting word for many different items,

deserves to be called chic.

In the past, I’ve found many Mulberry bags to be a tad masculine, and the Evelina’s name matches the silhouette. A touch
of femininity with a ton of usability makes me love this Mulberry bag.
