[QUOTE="lonoshea, post: 381118, member: 30506"] Hey all... sorry if this has been covered I searched but couldn't find my topic. So here I am, a newbie with boot camp. After a two weeks with my new Mac Pro I have decided to test out Vista or XP performance with bootcamp.. the problem: my screen instantly loses a signal when trying to install. I have figured out how to hold down option and look at my boot devices but when i try to install either vista or xp the screen goes black (i lose my signal connection). i have the ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB video card and i have a feeling it just doesnt have drivers when trying to do the initial install. has anyone else had this problem? i feel like i should try and pre-install windows gfx drivers.. is that possible? any help would be great as i would love to test bootcamp. sum it up: can not even see the first install screen for vista or xp. any one out there to help a newbie? thanks :dive: [/QUOTE]
