Display size problem at the time of installations Windows XP with Bootcamp

[duckyma]

I was not capable to install Windows XP on my MacBook with Bootcamp. The difficulty I am having at the present is the display dimension of the Windows XP on the monitor. The whole thing appears to be larger than usual and somewhat blurred. I was unable to regulate the Text size. But extra useful buttons and the User Interface items only appear out of size. The Internet Explorer shows the whole thing too big and the contents don't fit in the window. So the content wants to be scrolled back and onward to observe all because they are too big for the window. Can anyone please help me with this? Or please provide me the proper installation steps.

This problem affects Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Professional operating systems running all the way through Apple Boot Camp. To stay away from, manually generate an essential registry key as follows:

1. Click on Start- click on Run- type “regedit”- and after this click on OK.
2. Place and then click on the following registry “subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup”
3. In the Edit menu, click to New, and click on String Value.
4. In text box below the Name column, type “BootDir” and then press ENTER.
5. Right-click on the name “BootDir” and then simply click on Modify.
6. In the Edit cord Value dialog box, type the drive letter for your system drive, and then click on OK.
7. Close Registry Editor.
8. After you have formed this registry key you can continue with the installation.

Here are the proper steps necessary to install Windows XP on a Mac:

1. Download Mac OS X and newest firmware update from Apple Download website.
2. Run the BootCamp Assistant to make a Macintosh Drivers CD or DVD.
3. Generate a novel hard-disk partition with minimum size of 5 - 6GB to make room for Windows XP. Every single software and data on the unique Mac partition waits whole.
4. Put in your Windows XP CD and begin the XP installation.
5. Choose Partition C: and format the partition using either NTFS or FAT file formats. Though NTFS is more protected than FAT, you won't be able to mark or save files to the Windows volume from Mac OS X.
6. One time XP install procedure is finish, BootCamp will start again your computer system in Windows XP automatically.
7. At the moment is the turn to install Mac Drivers from the Macintosh Drivers CD which you twisted in Step 2. And at end restart it.

It seems that this is a quite common problem. You go through all the installation steps:

1. Run Boot Camp supporter in the Applications - Utilities folder
2. Identify a size for your novel Windows partition and after this the Mac OS generates and configures it.
3. After then set in a Windows XP SP2 CD and Start Installation, the system reboots and Windows XP installation display emerges and you go through the actions.
4. One time Windows XP completes installing and reboots to complete the setup, you get the black display with: “Press any key to boot from CD” you allow that one go and after that instantly: “Disk Error. Press any key to restart.” but the system booths. The keyboard does not work and you are force to do a hard power down.
