There is still a chance to install XP on there. Not even thru Virtual Software. I did read the thread but you never know. Some people dont realise what kind of machine they have.
So dont mock b_young. I do know what i am talking about. If they have a image of a XP install from a Virtual Machine there is a way to boot XP on a Mac natively. But it is a long and drawn out process.
There are many ways to do it and get it wrong. Only a few have gotten XP on a Mac with little issues without Boot Camp. I dont know the specific steps but i can find them. Best bet is to use Pear PC. That will allow you to install XP but you will be missing some drivers.

Glad we can help.
... All you have to do is go to a computer store and buy a MAC OS X CD. You do not need to have the exact same recovery disc, since Macs don't have those anyway.
If your Mac is has a CPU older than a G4, you would be better off with Mac OS 9.

I dont think you should go as far as selling the thing. After all, Macs still have their uses. I don't see the point in selling that comp. :amazed:

Good point but it's kinda hard to find system spec requirements.
