Starting windows xp on mac iso file2/18/2023 ![]() ![]() I'm happy to purchase a new Windows 8 version of OS but will have the same problem of how to install as I would have to use the MAC Mini to download and then move to a location that the VM could boot fromÄave Roseyboy Posts: 9 Joined: 11. ![]() ![]() I did try creating an iso image of the xp files from the disk but wasn't really sure how to do this so not confident I have done it correctly - If I could do this correctly would this be the way to go? Change the Sectors To Load value from 1 to 4. Click the Folder icon and select the w2ksect.bin file that you downloaded earlier. The Windows ISO direct download starts, and the file is saved in the specified location. Choose the folder where you want the file, type a name for it (if you want to change its default name), and press Save one more time. Make sure your USB thumbdrive in the Device list box. You are asked where you want to save the ISO file that you are about to download. Choose FAT32 NOT NTFS as the File system. ![]() Select GPT partitioning for EUFI firmware as the Partition scheme. Select None (Custom) from the Emulation Type dropdown menu. After you have installed Rufus: Launch it. I've tried using another PC to copy the required files from WinXP disk to USB stick and then copy these to a location within the VM that will allow XP to boot and install but either this method won't work or I'm putting files in wrong location as it fails to find any bootable medium - if this method should work which location should I use? Select the Advanced Tab and then select the Bootable Disc tab. I now want to do the same thing on my Mac Min but this has no Optical Drive ( When running OSX I can use remote Disk function that allows me to use the MacBook Optical Drive but this does not work when in VM mode) Nested virtualization scenarios, such as running Docker Desktop on a VMWare or Parallels instance might work, but there are no guarantees. To our surprise there was nothing out there that. I've successfully created a VM on my MacBook using a WinXP disc and it works well. There was a separate track for each Mac/Windows/Linux and several manual and error-prone steps along the way. ![]()
