freedumbfrench Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Trying to install Windows. I did it before, but it was a, uh..."liberated" copy...and I couldn't activate it. Died after 30 days. So I go to the trouble of buying WinXP SP2 from NewEgg. An OEM copy, yes. Should work, right? I get this message from Boot Camp: "No installer CD was found. Insert your Windows XP CD and wait a few seconds for the disc to be recognized." I've waited. What gives? Does anyone know exactly what Boot Camp looks for when it approves a WinXP install disc?

Pantalaimon Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 maybe it is beacause the cd is legit, apple doesnt want M$ making money (?) try what asap18 said, not beacuse bootcamp doesnt recognizes it the mac wont either, just boot your mac from de XP cd just like it was the mac osx DVD, and install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
