Installing Xp Onto Sd From Mac!!

datechgeek · 07-03-2008, 10:31 PM

I have been searching for a way to install Xp from a cd to a 8GB sd card. All the methods that i have found are what i want but they have to be done on a windows computer which i do not have access to. Please help. Will be greatly appreciated.

There is no way you can do it on a Mac, as Windows doesn't support the hardware, hence why you need Bootcamp to install Windows on a Mac.

still cannot be done, when it installs it will install drivers for the specific computer its being installed from. It cannot be use on any other computer.

If you want to install it on another pc, purchase the xp cd or use their copy of xp.

And the only way you will be able to go about that is with that PC. In order to install Windows on any drive type, you have to be able to run the installer, and the installer will only run on supported hardware, and the Mac is unsupported hardware for installing Windows.
