Installing Xp on Black MacBook for Fallout 3

Filed under: General,Laptop reviews — Rick Hoskins @ 10:10 pm

I Installed Xp on my MacBook to play Fallout 3. Installing Xp ending up being a pain fist I started the install then I forgot to write now the Xp key so I had to reboot into OS X. To get the key then start the install all over again. Xp is now installed and then I’m like where do I get the drivers from the online tutorial I was following it said that the boot camp assistant would prompt me to put in a blank CD to make a driver CD well that never happened. So then I read on apples site to just put in the Leopard DVD to get the drivers. Now I’m looking for the box that me Mac Book came in 15 mins later I found the box and the little box that should of been with the big box (the laptop box) was not there. I headed back to my deck and look at my desktop on top of my desk and there the little box was. I open the box and that Leopard DVD was not there. I was like what the heck! All I had was the two Mac OS X install CD’s. 10 mins later i was like hey maybe I should try that CD. So I did and it worked. The Xp drivers install on my Black MacBook. I will post later about Fallout 3 ones it installs.

  2. The Game never worked I guess because of the Mobile IntelĀ® 965 Express Chipset (Graphics card). You can read more here on this forum
