Hi

Everybody I have a problem which I want to solve very urgently.

I want to install Windows XP Pro on my Apple PowerBook G4. I dont have a slightest idea on how to do it on Apple.

If somebody know the easier way out...... Please help me. I dont want to make backups and dont want to f*** my G4.

Also where can I get the drivers for the hardware for XP.

Wating for an early and gr8 solution.

Thnx.

In this case, best bet is to find some virtual machine emulator and install xp on it.

Or you can try remote desktop


Also no need to post in every section...

You can use Microsoft's Virtual PC for Mac. For more information visit mactopia.com or microsoft.com/mac

It is by far the best x86 emulator for PPC OS X.

Btw, why do you want to install XP?

I mean if you need any software, please ask for it.
