06-04-2011, 08:33 PM
Hi there. I need to get Windows XP SP3 put on my Mini 9. Currently OSX is on there. I do not have the Windows XP install disc but I do have the product code. I was able to download the ISO from the Microsoft download center. I'm not sure where to go from here. All the guides I see online show you how to create a bootable USB using the install disc, not an ISO. Help? |

try reading through this: Burn ISO to USB Pen Drive it should help ya  BTW: just make sure that after you create the bootable USB drive that you enable 'Legacy USB" in the BIOS then reboot |

thanks for this but i'm going to just install from disc using an external cd. i worked on it for 5 hours with no luck using a number of different apps and forum threads. for some reason it just wouldn't work. maybe it had something to do with my jump drive. |

shouldnt be an issue as long as its formatted and bootable (and you enable Legacy USB) Either FAT32 or NTFS should work |
