Please help: cannot install Windows XP (64-bit) on my Macbook Pro.

Hi all

I desperately need help! I've installed and upgraded to VMware Fusion 2.02, then created a Virtual Machine (Windows XP Professional) and inserted my XP Pro. Editing student (64-bit) in my disc drive.

The virtual machine starts, and moments later he said: "trying to load an x 64 operating system, however this CPU is not compatible with this mode. Please install a x 86 32-bit operating system"

Now, I tried to do some research to solve the problem, and VMware says that any version of 2.0 + would make 64-bit Windows OS works. Apparently, this isn't the case! VMware Tools is installed, either, but you do not have to install the guest operating system to install the tools? I'm certainly in computing, but not knowledgeable like any of you. What can I do to fix this? I'm really bummed that this cool software I bought does not work for me. =(

I have a Macbook Pro Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz under Leopard.

Wait, how did this makes sense? I installed this OS via Bootcamp and Parallels before.

    Thanks for no help guyz!

    but I found a way... so for anyone else out there... Here is the solution...

    1. When installing to the partition screen, press SHIFT + F10.
    2. At the prompt, type diskpart and press ENTER.
    3. Type list disk (not the number of the disk to be used)
    4. Type select disk X, where X is the number of the disk to use.
    5. Clean type. This erases all data on your system.
    6. Type convert gpt
    7. Now reboot the system with the DVD/USB, and you will see only the unallocated space. Use to install the new windows.

    Be warned however, this clears the partition table on the disk; Make sure that you have a backup before attempting this, if you have important data

    No, as long as you have a disc of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, you can use the same product key that was used to activate the copy of 32-bit, you had installed.

    It is also possible to apply my series of Win7 Ultimate upgrade to an another Windows Installer or it will be related to my original OS install and only the 32-bit version?

    If the Express upgrade is planned for the Windows 7 Home Premium to Ultimate upgrade, this computer must also run Home Premium.

    I do not have 64-bit Windows 7 Home premium, just a 32-bit version OEM

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  • Tecra M11 - 11J - cannot install Windows 7 64 bit

    Tried to upgrade a Tecra M11 - 11J for Windows 7 64-bit.
    The installation gets all the "Loading Windows files" screen, then turns off and freezes, with the release of maxing out CPU fan but no HARD disk activity.

    Have tried to reinstall XP (works fine), flashing the BIOS to the latest version, re-seats of the RAM, change the HARD drive in "Compatibility" mode and reinstall Win 7 - same problem.

    Have you tried Win 7 32 bit - the same problem.
    Installation of USB, instead of DVD - same problem.
    Different flavors of Win 7 - same problem!

    It's extremely frustrating.
    I upgraded the memory up to 8 GB, hoping to take advantage of this with W7x64 and now I'm stuck with a XP machine and 4 GB of of of the RAM to lose.

    Would be very grateful for any suggestion.

    Thank you.

    and installation of Win 7 does not even using the old 4 GB of RAM?

    Or have you tried to install Windows 7 on the Tecra M11 using the new 8 GB of RAM?

    What of the HARD drive? The HARD drive is displayed on the first page of the BIOS?

  • Cannot install OS (10.6.3) on 2007 MacBook Pro.

    Hello world!

    Since my Macbook Air drowned, I bought a MacBook Pro opportunity. The previous owner completely wiped off everything so there is no operating system when booting it shows only the folder with the question mark.

    We are talking MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.4 15 "Mid / late 2007, A1226.

    As far as I understand and my extensive research, this machine should run Snow Leopard and even the latest Mac OS. So, I bought a Snow Leopard 10.6.3 DVD installation online. When I start the MacBook Pro and insert the DVD, nothing happens. I tried all combinations of button Option button C, command + R etc. It seems he's trying to play the DVD but it spits out once again, then I get the folder with question mark agaon.

    Am I missing something here? Am I pressing the wrong keys? I didn't have the DVD with the original MacBook Pro to install and hope to get a recent OS installed.

    Any help is very appreciated! Thank you!

    Richard

    The Snow Leopard disc should be white.  If it is gray, it won't work.

    If the DVD is white, it may be damaged or DVD drive is malfunctioning.

    You can test the DVD on a MBP it's 2009 or older.  Also test with an external DVD drive.

    Ciao.
