“The chipset used in the MacBook Pro is not disclosed, but the general specifications of the notebook strongly suggest that Apple is using Intel’s new 945PM (Napa) platform/chipset with discrete video. This entry was tagged with apple, macintel by NeoSmart Technologies.Īfter a little more investigation I found this: If everything has gone well, XP will boot!!.By selecting “Windows XP” on the Darwin Bootloader you should be chainloaded to the Vista bootloader, which should in turn boot the entry “NeoSmart Windows XP”.Title Windows XP rootnoverify (hd0,1) chainloader +1 With GRUB it would look something like this... I’m not sure if Darwin is the same, but this step is very simple, and has nothing to do with EFI. In Mac now, hack the Darwin Bootloader to add another entry that chainloads Drive(0) Partition(2).Run “bcdedit.exe /import MacBook.bcd” without the quotes.Run “fixntfs.exe -lh” without the quotes.Browse to drive C:\Boot (which is the partition you created on the MacBook and then extracted the Acronis TrueImage file to).Select “Repair Startup” -> Next -> CMD -> Run too.Use the Bootable Vista DVD to boot on the MacBook.Use the bootable Acronis True Image CD to recreate the image on the partition you just made on your MacBook.Use Acronis TrueImage CD to make an image of your XP install.

Use sysprep to “reseal” your XP install and remove all hardware info from the setup.Copy MacBook.bcd to the root drive of your XP installation.Copy bcdedit.exe to the root drive of your XP installation.Extract Boot.7z to the root drive of your XP installation.Create a new partition of type NTFS/HPFS in the remaining space. Using the Bootable Acronis Disk Director CD on the MacBook, shrink the Mac partition.Most of the problems can be theoretically quickly dealt with. A Windows Vista DVD (not for installation purposes!).Another computer with a clean install of XP.so all I can tell you for a fact is that NTLDR uses it to access the drive at first to boot Windows, and Windows uses it at *least* once more when it is mounting the drives.

Now I don’t have the Windows XP source code at hand.

Where is the BIOS used? For what? How? The OS sends low-level calls to the BIOS that tell it exactly how to deal with the hardware.
