if i take out all the drives except the one i'm trying to put windows on, then i can load the files for windows on it, but then it has to restart to start installing, but when it restarts, it can't get back to the drive. i get a folder with a question mark after i select the windows drive using boot loader
cant get windows to work on mac pro
- Thread starter twoodcc
- Start date
this is what is going on:
i formatted the drive to MBR with disk utility.
then i use bootcamp to make the drive ready for windows
i startup with the xp disk.
i use the xp disk to format the disk and copy the setup files
then it has to restart
when it comes back up, if i leave the xp disk in, it will boot the xp disk
if i take the disk out, it will say 'no bootable drive, please insert one'
if i hold down option, and then choose the windows drive (the only drive), it will give me the folder with the question mark.
i hope all of this makes sense. i'm beginning to think that something might be wrong with my bootloader somewhere.
what should i do?
