I am attempting to install Windows XP on my Macbook. I use bootcamp assistant and partion 32GB for windows. I insert the XP disk and I go through the initial blue screen disk formatting screens. After the partion is formatted (side question: which option is correct to choose: NTFS or FAT?) and the files are copied, it claims it will shutdown and continue installation after restarting. The computer boots up the normal way with OSX Leopard. What am I missing? The only choices I'm really given are for partition size and File System. Is there a way to continue setup using a hotkey as it boots? I figured that having the CD in the drive would be what would tell the computer to continue setup. Help?
You have to hold down the Alt button (between Ctrl and Cmd) when the Mac Gong sounds at bootup, and it should present you with OS choices. If not, use the latest version of BootCamp and use the same sequence.

apologies in advance in case someone answers this already (but looks like have tried everything)
Just build my first pc recently:
AMD® Ryzen 5 3600 6-core processor
ASUS Prime X570-P ATX Motherboard
burn Ubuntu to USB from my MacBook and it's all working fine. ( Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS )
The problem is that I wanna install Windows 10 into PC also.
Have done partition on SSD (have just one SSD + HDD).
But no matter what I try can't seems to install everything right.
It's one of these:
Or pc just can't find my flash drive ( probably something is wrong with the way I burn iso to it)
Or if it does found it I get an error somewhere in the middle of installing, that there is no file for the next step or something like that. ( iso downloaded from Microsoft official page)
I have tried it with various programs (on ios and ubuntu) or even a command line. Even changing settings in BIOS to boot any external drive.
The easy way is to format your Ubuntu partition and install Windows first. Then the Ubuntu installer will automatically detect Windows and and you should be fine.
The hard way is to keep Ubuntu and install Windows. Then you will need to restore grub (Ubuntu's boot loader).
You have to run and install both OS with in (U)EFI mode and adjust some settings in UEFI. This could be the reason for the flashdrive not being found. If you have used tools like Rufus for creation of the bootable USB drive it could also be broken. It is enough to format the flashdrive with FAT32 and copy the contents of the ISO into its root.
Maybe this and this will help

I have two HDs in my Macbook Pro 15 in late 2009. I installed bootcamp and updated to Mavericks. My Windows partition in running Win7 Ultimate. I set the the boot disk in OSX to be my windows partition and now my laptop doesn't recognize me holding down the option key to choose which partition to boot. When windows boots i have to start the on screen keyboard and then close it for my keyboard presses to be recognized. The quote key causes the option and control keys to stick and delete doesn't work at all. I would use the bootcamp panel to switch back but it didn't install. i would really appreciate any help because i'm behind in my web dev projects and don't want to reinstall OSX because i'll lose my data, plus i took out the disc drive for my other HD.
You should try reseting PRAM.
If it not helps than probably some key are stuck and it cause other keys don't work.
Try to find and fix broken key by using this or this manual.
If it not helps, than it probably hardware keyboard problem.

I have a feeling the answer to this is "it's not possible", as I have googled a fair bit already. However, as I do cross platform development I would like to simultaneously work on my Linux laptop in the sitting room, beside the fire, and use the command prompt on my Windows XP machine which is in a different room, the study (colder!). This is because as I change code on Linux I would like to test regularly on Windows.
If I had installed Windows on the laptop I could have used ssh into Linux, but it is a low spec machine so I installed lubuntu instead. So, as James T Kirk would say "there's got to be a way".
install cygwin on windows and start ssh daemon on it. you will then be able to ssh into windows and get a familiar console window

Is there a legal way to re-install windows XP without the cd but I have the cd key. I would like to download a legal ISO image but I can't find one. There is no image of windows already installed on my computer by the way.
unless you have a MSDN developer login, you won't be able to find those ISOs "legally" (or directly from Microsoft). Just download one from "disreputable" sources, and install using your CD key. Nothing wrong with that, as long as you don't crack the OS, or are using a stolen key.
Is your CD key not working because it is an OEM key? This is, a key that is locked to a computer you bought. For example: I cant buy a dell, then install windows on another computer with the windows key that came with that machine.

I'm using 2 Displays with Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and I would like to have a keyboard shortcut to move the active window from one display to another (not space).
I just found answers for moving between spaces or one hint for windows:
https://superuser.com/questions/62603/keyboard-shortcut-for-moving-window-to-another-screen
I use SizeUp, which has this feature and lots of other useful window management abilities.
I use Divvy. Very good application if you have many screens and many windows open. There are always apps like Cinch which may be able to help.
I use Better Snap Tool.
Power Mover 2 is great for moving windows between displays with the keyboard.
