Boot Camp Beta

[doanster]

I'm still running Tiger on my first-gen Macbook. Is it still possible to safely get Boot Camp up and running to install WinXP SP2? Where can I find the beta version of Boot Camp? I'm not looking to upgrade to Leopard anytime soon :S

I think you're out of luck. The beta has expired.

Hmm... that's too bad.
Guess I'm gonna give XOM a shot!

What's XOM? Is that another method of installing Windows on Mac? I googled it, but it came up mainly as Exxon references.

Have a look at this link http://wiki.onmac.net/index.php/Main_Page

Hope that helps!

You could try to use BC to make a Windows partition in Tiger, then download the bootcamp 2.1 update and try that?

Yup.. that explains it.

Really, you don't need Bootcamp, but it does make it a bit simpler to get it working.

I think that would work, but the problem is that it seems impossible to find a legal version of BC for Tiger in the first place
