I want to install windows xp on my new Mac (purchased Parallels). I have my windows xp disk and product upgrade button. Should I purchase the retail version?
My computer died about two weeks ago. I was able to transfer many files, but I realized that a lot of my programs (Microsoft Project, for example) are still in Windows format. My old computer was a Toshiba Satellite, which limped along for some time. I went through a number of improvements, but the latest is windows xp, I have the disk to upgrade to. I hope not having to buy a new retail disk, if possible. Thoughts? Thanks, Mike
Hi Mike Halperin,.
You will need to purchase a full version of Windows XP to install on Mac.

Use the key in your battery compartment (as long as it matches the version of Windows you purchased at Amazon) and activate by phone.
You can not use the key (if it is a key 'Upgrade') as he was expecting to find a previous version of Windows installed and activated.

update helps... Difficulty helps lol
I have vista Home premium, but does not start it tells me to put my disk installation and repair process. can I buy windows7 upgrade or should I buy the full version, I'm not going to do...? I got my pc checked thourghly and everything is running perfectPlease use the Vista system repair and recovery forum to fix your departure upward.
http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_vista-system?page=1&tab=all
Yes, as long as Vista is still installed on the hard drive you can use a copy of Windows 7 upgrade to upgrade your computer but you will need to boot the computer with the Windows 7 dvd and perform a custom installation. Which will remove all your programs and data so there will be very practical backups.
The best option is to repair Vista first.
Before dismiss you the idea of buying a copy of the full license of Windows 7, remember that it would be transferable to a new computer much more easily that an upgrade copy is.

in fact, I want to install windows os (not authentic) because I'm fond of counter strike
so, mac support this game?
or it takes 8 GB ram to play counter strike?
operating system windows (not authentic) will cause no effect on mac?
If I install the windows on mac operating system, I will award 58 GB in the windows operating system and remains to mac, goes no problem in the future, due to the windows operating system?
ALSO POINT OUT THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF INSTALLING WINDOWS ON A MAC.
operating system Windows (not authentic)
This means that you ask for assistance on the use of a pirate copy of Windows?
If you install Windows, you have the advantage of being able to run Windows and the inconvenience of having to deal with all the viruses and stuff for which Windows systems are prone.
Why not just buy the Mac version? It seems relatively inexpensive: http://store.steampowered.com/app/730/

I want to install Windows XP on Satellite A200 - 1 M 4
I want to install windows xp A200 1 M 4...
What do I do?Please answer my question.
Hi hilalay
In this forum, you will find hundreds of similar questions / answers
I put t know what you want to know exactly, but the point is that your laptop A200 - 1 M 4 seems to belong to the series of PSAE0E.Choose this slot serial number form download if you need XP compatible drivers.
The XP installation is not difficult. You must include the SATA driver in the XP CD. This is necessary in order to make the visible HARD drive and reinstall XP.
[Check this way to integrate a SATA AHCI driver into a Windows XP installation CD | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm]
Finally, install all drivers Toshiba XP available and enjoy.
By the way; the update of the BIOS XP would be desirable also because without BIOS XO some FN buttons will not work correctly.

I want to install Windows XP edition SP2 family in Satellite A135-S2386
Help, please.
I want to install Windows XP Home SP2 for my Satellite A135-S2386 edition.
Where can I get the drivers?Hello
The SATA (Intel Matrix Storage Manager) driver must be installed first, if you want to reinstall the operating system XP on this laptop.
The Intel Matrix Storage Manager can be downloaded also from Intel or the Toshiba Web site the page we. You should know that your laptop has been designed and delivered only for the American market, so you must use the Toshiba drivers from an American Internet site.However, I found many comments on Intel Matrix Storage Manager here in this forum.
Then maybe you should use the Forum search option advanced for more useful discussions on this topic.Buddy Bye

I want to remove pre-installed windows 8 and want to install windows xp in hp 6 but idont know how to install
Hello
First thing to do is to go to the HP website and see if the XP drivers are available for your model of HP.
http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
If there is no XP drivers, XP does not work for you.
If the XP drivers are available, looking for a place to buy XP, which is a terrible thing to do as Microsoft did not sell XP for many years.
You run the very serious risk of buying pirated XP software from anywhere on the Net.
Stay with your preinstalled Windows 8.
See you soon.
