This solution is outdated. Use EasyBCD instead.

The Problems
- Macintosh uses a different MBR
- MacBooks use EFI, XP x86 uses BIOS
- The modified Darwin Bootloader is made for EFI w/ EFI supporting operating systems
OK… So step by step. Where is the BIOS used? For what? How? The OS sends low-level calls to the BIOS that tell it exactly how to deal with the hardware. Now I don't have the Windows XP source code at hand. so all I can tell you for a fact is that NTLDR uses it to access the drive at first to boot Windows, and Windows uses it at *least* once more when it is mounting the drives.
Windows Xp Download For Mac
The Required Programs and Stuff
- Acronis Disk Director Bootable CD
- Acronis True Image
- Another computer with a clean install of XP. No programs installed at all.
- A MacBook obviously!
- A Windows Vista DVD (not for installation purposes!)
- BCDedit restore file
- Download VirtualBox and install it like you would any other Mac application. Then launch it and click the blue 'New' button in the toolbar to create a new virtual machine. Give it a name (like.
- I have to install Windows XP on my mid-2012 Mountain Lion MacBook Air (base config: 4GB RAM, 128GB SDD, 1.8 GHz) but the BootCamp doesn't support anything except 7. I can't afford to set.
- I've installed Windows XP Pro on a MacBook Pro, however, there are no drivers for the ethernet adapters so I can't access the internet to install SP2 or more current drivers. How do I get around this problem? I am not using Bootcamp, this is a straight installation from scratch.
- Apple's Boot Camp software provided with Mac OS X 10.5 and Mac OS X 10.6.5 (and earlier) offers 32-bit support for Windows XP Service Pack 2 and later on all non-server Intel Macs with the exception of the 'Late 2010' MacBook Air models - the MacBook Air 'Core 2 Duo' 1.4 11' (Late 2010) and 'Core 2 Duo' 1.86 13' (Late 2010)- which only.
Windows Xp On Macbook Pro
Previously, we completed the installation of the Windows XP Professional system using the VMware Workstation 14 virtualization program in the physical computer. In this article, we will run WinXP in an Apple Mac computer using VMware Fusion 10/11 Pro.
Most of the problems can be theoretically quickly dealt with.

- Using the Bootable Acronis Disk Director CD on the MacBook, shrink the Mac partition. Create a new partition of type NTFS/HPFS in the remaining space.
- Setup a clean version of XP on a PC.
- Extract Boot.7z to the root drive of your XP installation. So you have C:Boot
- Copy bcdedit.exe to the root drive of your XP installation. C:BCDedit.exe
- Copy MacBook.bcd to the root drive of your XP installation
- Use sysprep to 'reseal' your XP install and remove all hardware info from the setup
- Use Acronis TrueImage CD to make an image of your XP install.
- Use the bootable Acronis True Image CD to recreate the image on the partition you just made on your MacBook.
- Use the Bootable Vista DVD to boot on the MacBook.
- Select 'Repair Startup' -> Next -> CMD -> Run too.
- Browse to drive C:Boot (which is the partition you created on the MacBook and then extracted the Acronis TrueImage file to). (cd C:boot)
- Run 'fixntfs.exe -lh' without the quotes
- Browse back to drive C: (cd )
- Run 'bcdedit.exe /import MacBook.bcd' without the quotes
- Eject the CD and restart.
- In Mac now, hack the Darwin Bootloader to add another entry that chainloads Drive(0) Partition(2). With GRUB it would look something like this… I'm not sure if Darwin is the same, but this step is very simple, and has nothing to do with EFI.
title Windows XP rootnoverify (hd0,1) chainloader +1 - Restart
- By selecting 'Windows XP' on the Darwin Bootloader you should be chainloaded to the Vista bootloader, which should in turn boot the entry 'NeoSmart Windows XP'
- If everything has gone well, XP will boot!!
