iso file to install XP SP2

polevault139 · Dec 3, 2007, 08:12 PM

Before you start telling me to buy a real copy of windows let me explain. I am a student at a university and all the members of the college of engineering get XP and Vista for free from the Microsoft website via an iso file. So is there a way to use that to install XP with bootcamp?

You need a blank DVD, choose the file in Disk Utility and choose to restore to the DVD. Then just install Boot Camp...

If the .iso is under 700mb then you can use a CD, if it's above use a DVD.

Burn it with Disk Utility
