Ramblings of a Computer Guru » Dual-Booting Windows XP on a Macintel
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
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!)
- Vista boot files
- bcdedit.exe
- BCDedit restore file
