Hello,
I just installed os10.5 on my macbookpro and am having what appears to be a fairly common problem. my computer doesn't recognize the xp installation disc. I am using the same xp sp2 disc that worked on tiger, however when i put it into the superdrive my machine only sees it as a blank disc.
what is strange is that if i put it into a firewire dvd drive, it reads it fine, but i can't boot up from an external drive.....
i have tried making various copies of the disc but the results are always the same.
i have been scouting forums for a while and haven't found a solution yet, any new ideas?
perhaps there is a way of tricking the superdrive into reading it?
any help would be greatly appreciated.
