>>
>>60179886
He can't upgrade his OS
>>
>>60179886
For fun. Also because Mac OS X is shit, Linux won't boot, and I don't have any discs bigger than 700MB. Already tried Haiku and React OS on it.

Don't need to, that macbook will roast your nuts anyways
>>
Why don't you just take out the HDD and install W7 over usb/dvd/lan in some other machine, configure it to boot to oobe and put the drive in the MBP? then install whatever driver you need/find there
>>
>>60179944
You're not wrong. I tried to compile a small C program with GCC on it and it sounded like a helicopter taking off.

Anyways, I went on TBP and grabbed some drivers, burned them to a second disc, and now XP is installing fine.

>>60180008
I've tried and when you try to resize the HFS boot partition from outside of OS X, it fails to boot and at that point you have to fuck around with dd to recover the data and it's just painful. I also don't take my computers apart unless it's for maintenance or repairs.

Wow... this is shitty. I'm gonna try to install Debian again.
>>
>>60180244
looks like you just need video drivers or to just change the resolution
>>
>>60180256
I'm not even going to bother. They probably don't exist for this machine.
>>
>>60180296
2011 was the last year for xp support for the Pro download bootcamp drivers
>>
>>60180296
literally how hard is it to google "intel HD 3000 driver windows xp"
>>
>>60180359
Only 7 and 8 are supported in bootcamp. I'm pretty sure it won't work.
>>
>>60180360
>google
botnet
>>
>>60179933
have you tried putting the OS on a pen drive instead of burning a disk
>>
>>60180383
kys
>>
>>60180360
Too hard considering I won't be keeping XP.

>>60180422
Yeah. Mac EFI is shit and won't boot from flash drives.
>>
>>60179625
Keep er lit Anon, you're doing God's work
>>
>>60179625

>>60179786
Stupidity thwarted by forgetfulness
>>
>>60180701
Nah, I got it installed.
>>
>>60180595
See >>60179933
>>
>>60180586
you're doing it wrong

my iMac always booted from flash drives without a problem
>>
>>60180848
I tried both USB A ports and the SD slot. I hold down the option key and the EFI boot menu comes up as you can see here >>60179706

It only boots from the optical drive.
