Title: Can someone help me get XP on my MacBook for free?
Post by: NOA_Haunted on January 20, 2009, 07:02:47 PM
I really want to do this. I have tried and failed. The reason I want XP is because I want to download like 2 games they don't have mac versions for.

JMV said a couple of you have done this. So can you help?

Somehow I doubt that letter grades and a GPA reflect one's ability with a computer.

I used to have the .iso for TinyXP and MicroXP, but I'm pretty sure I deleted them once I burned the disk, as a result of frequent reformatting.

Plus, I'd be too lazy to find you drivers and stuff, because I'm sure you wouldn't be able to find them yourself. powerofone;

Boot Camp provides the drivers.

If I can find the .iso's, I can get it for you, I suppose.

You'll have to burn the disk yourself.

By the way, the XP I have isn't legit and has basically all the stuff you'd never use cut out. Out of the two, I'd recommend the TinyXP. There's just something about the MicroXP that feels weird.

I probably could find you a full version of illegitimate XP, but I'm far too lazy to do so.

Oh you got it on there?

Okay, I'm glad to hear that.

I'm sorry I was being bitchy earlier. I just was feeling like shit because of this flu.
