[QUOTE="pjhutch, post: 820332, member: 35604"] This happens because iMac uses EFI file format which Windows XP does not support. To workaround this problem, add a registry key as follows: 1. Click Start - Run - Type “regedit” and press enter. 2. Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software \Microsoft \Windows \CurrentVersion \Setup 3. In the right pane, Right-click and select New - String value 4. Name it as “BootDir” and set its value to “C:\” This should help. Try installing SP3 and should work fine. [/QUOTE]
