TICKET ARCHIVE -> installing xp with Boot Camp

br steve - Mar 7, 2008 - 12:41 am

I successfully installed XP Pro with Boot Camp. Problem I encountered was when I put in my OS X Leopard CD to install drivers like the instruction said. However the CD is a .dmg file and Windows can't read it to install the drivers. I powered off the unit and tried rebooting into MAC but the Macbook defaults to WIndows. What can I do to solve the issue? Thanks in advance
Steve

All you need to do is boot to Windows, then insert your original Leopard DVD. Leopard does not ship on CDs, and is not available in that form. If you have a CD (not a DVD), then the Windows drivers won't be on that disk, and I can't help you with that. You need to have the Leopard installer DVD.
Just so you know, I have made numerous burned copies of the Leopard DVD, and not all copies will have the Windows driver installer on the disk, or it is corrupted somehow. Use your original Leopard DVD (the one with the purple starburst on the label - if you have one, you know what that is)

Boot back to OS X by restarting while holding your Option/alt key. Choose the Mac OS X boot from that boot screen.
