A tool for extracting and editing ISO images.

A Windows XP install CD (SP1 or higher).

rEFIt – A boot manager for EFI computers (like Intel Macs).

A USB2 hard drive – I used a Welland “Sun Bright” chassis with a Samsung IDE disk inside.

An Intel Macintosh – This procedure was tested on a first generation MacBook.

It turns out that it is possible to install Windows to a USB disk without using Bootcamp at all. The brave souls who made this work in the past still needed to re-partition their disk with Bootcamp though, something that wasn’t an option for me. Windows is not supposed to run from an external disk but it has been done before. Sadly, Bootcamp refused to partition my internal disk so I was stuck with no Windows and no San Andreas.Ī ray of hope was the idea of installing Windows onto a blank external disk. Bootcamp and Windows should have had me playing Windows games on the Mac. Would appreciate help because I've tried everything I can find on the internet, its the old Macbook pro 2006 17'Īlso anyone able to give advice on how to get snow leopard back on without a disk and get it on dual boot.OSX can do everything I want from day to day, but occasionally I want to play some San Andreas. The first issue I've done all sorts like download bootcamp drivers and extract and the realtek drivers too and nothing has worked.īout ready to throw the **** thing.

So I installed Windows which went through fine, two problems.įirst and most important I have no sound, the audio output in the bottom right has a red and white cross through it. Went to the laptop repair shop and was told that my laptop would not run windows 10 (I disagreed) and he handed me a windows 7 disk which I couldn't care which Windows was on it so long as it worked. In the process of trying to install Windows 10 I somehow wiped the device. After buying this I ran into many problems on Snow Leopard 10.6.3 not being able to run the software I wanted to use. I bought this Mac wanting to feel the nostalgia of when the family computer was a 2006 Mac.
