what you need to do is setup the drive with 2 partitions one with OSX the other for windows, run the bootcamp tools in OSX to set up the second partition so it can boot, then after that shut the system off
then get a random computer plug the drive into that and run the windows setup and install windows on to the bootcamp partition wait till the setup gets to the end when it asks to reboot at that point you just shut the system off take the drive back out and thrown the drive back into the mac, if it starts back up in OSX change the startup drive, boot it up and it should continue the setup, this is how i did on my old MAC pro 1.1
oh make sure its in legacy mode on the PC and not UEFI
this also works if you only want windows, you just skip the bootcamp and OSX stuff just make sure the PC is in legacy mode and not UEFI when running windows setup.
this method works but i herd you can damage the mac in some way, not sure how, no one really talks bout it much somthing to do with the mac's firmware.
i know you can install windows 7 32bit i wonder if windows 8 32bit would work natively without any tricks.
Fun fact: The one who says they are first but isn't the first to complete the video.
IS THIS YOU???
@@Minionguyjprowhat you talking bout
This is exactly what happens when you are deeply interested in computers and their strange stuff. Something always goes wrong. Hahaha
I like seeing thee old apple videos, new subscriber about 3 videos ago on this macbook, keep up the good work and video content👍
The "select CD-ROM boot type" screen is notoriously difficult to deal with on these older MacBooks. It's a byproduct of them having a weird Compatibility Support Module (allows for booting of legacy OSes on EFI hardware) and 32-bit EFI. There are several solutions to this problem, including patching the image or burning it with special settings in ImgBurn, but the one thing that should work no matter what is to install 32-bit Windows 10 in legacy BIOS mode on that hard drive with a PC and then putting the hard drive into the MacBook. A virtual machine could also work but it's more involved.
32bit efi is cursed
I installed succesfully few months ago Windows 10 64 bits on my late 2006 MacBook, with your method, to be more precise : the main part is that I need to use ... another MacBook (that is more recent) ... I know this is weird but this was the only solution, so I used my MacBook Mid 2009 (same case but different CPU GPU etc ...) : so what I did is 1. I took the HDD from the 2006 to put in the 2009 MacBook 2. I burn a CD with Plop Boot Manager (in order to boot from USB, because no white MacBook can boot from USB natively), then I burn the Windows 10 iso image to my USB flash drive 3. I put the CD with Plop and the USB Drive on the 2009 MacBook then power on the Mac 4. in Plop Boot Manager I select the USB Drive, but after this you will have a blinking line : it can stay at this state from few seconds to one hour (yes one hour) 5. After Windows 10 boots, install this as normally, but after the first restart, don't continue the install, power off the 2009 MacBook 6. Put the HDD that is on 2009 MacBook on the 2006 MacBook, put your USB Flash drive with Windows 10 (but don't put the CD with Plop, we don't need this anymore), and continue the installation. And normally it should be good (this is how I remember in my mind). Also with this MacBook, Apple dosen't provided any 64 bits Boot Camp drivers for any version of Windows... so in order to fix that you should download Boot Camp 4.0.4033 from the 29th June 2011, then follow the instructions of the YT video "Install Boot Camp 64 Bit Drivers on Unsupported Macs" from "josephjdrew", and don't forget to run BootCamp64.msi as compatibily mode with Windows 7
@ you can boot legacy USB using rEFInd as well
Also I forget to say but you will probably say ... why I don't put Plop Boot Manager CD directly in the 2006 MacBook (instead of using a 2009 MacBook for the first part) ? Because I tried this (to put Plop in the 2006 MacBook), it boots correctly to Plop, but for an unknown reason, the keyboard is not recongnized on the 2006 MacBook o_O but the keyboard is recognized on the 2009 MacBook with Plop CD ... I don't know why ...
@@DistrosProjects I did remember using rEFInd on this MacBook in the past (few years ago) as well, but I didn't remember what happened (in my souvenirs I think it tried to boot the USB flash drive as EFI mode, and not BIOS mode, so it didn't worked, and today I almost sure it didn't worked, because after that I used the technique of using another MacBook and Plop)
is it possible to Install 8.1? on that mac?
Possibly!
It's possible. I installed Windows 8.1 on a 2006 Mac with a 32 efi because I made a moded DVD for the installation to work.
Thank you guys for the replies
At least that MacBook didn't get absolutely fried...
BABE WAKE UP, NEW TechMV's VIDEO !
windows 7 enterprise 32 bit on macbook 2006 white 2,00 ghz , 4gb ram , an ssd , and bootcamp (into the cd of snow leopard installation ) works great really .
That project must have been stressful, however I’m glad at least you tried to get it working.
Everything did indeed go wrong, and this was a nice watch.
you can bypass select cd-rom boot type if you hold down the enter and 1 keys right after selecting the right os in the Mac boot picker. it might take a few tries. as for windows 2000 all you have to do to get it booting is use an xp ntdetect file. if you enablebiglba you can even install windows 2000 to a bootcamp partition alongside macos.
2006 MacBook is indeed cursed !
Legend says he's still trying 😂
If you put a hard drive with windows 10 installed in the MacBook it will work perfectly
Love your videos
You should try to do all updates of latest OS X for this Mac to upgrade the firmware and hope that it works better
you must add everything goes wrong at the title 😂😂😂
guy's amasing
Those non pro macbooks were cool at the time..had one, loved it..mbp better ofc but yeah
YOU STOLE MY USB!!!!!!!
>:(. :('
Your Windows installer USB probably didn't work because for the boot menu to detect the drive it needs to be under 4GB and formatted in FAT not NTFS. I did something similar with a 2011 macbook pro, got windows 7 iso under 4gb and then updated it to windows 10 right after. Make sure you use balena etcher or rufus to get the iso in the USB drive
hi techmw im a fan from when you had 700 subs but can you plssss tell me what you use to edit?
Thank you! I use Vegas Pro!
@@techmw1988 thanks maybe a video on that :)
"This is a hard drive from a playstation 4." wait a minute i have the same drive but for my downloads
I expected this video after watching the Vista one like a week ago...
I think you should try again using the rEFInd bootloader
Up Next to Windows 11
Today i tried installing Windows 11 on Macbook pro mid 2012. I changed windows 10 install file with windows 11 to bypass requitrments. But on secound phase it just reseted and reseted
You could have installed Windows XP, then upgrade to Windows 7, then upgrade to Windows 10. Worked for me when I tried to install Windows 10 on a 2006 MacBook.
👍keep going
Windows 10 refused to start the installation because Microsoft makes changes to the Windows 10 Kernel and high-level changes. That could explain why it didn't start and it could also be Apple not making their Macbooks compatible with Windows 10 since they weren't manufactured by Microsoft.
Keep up dude👍👍
1:50 my mid 2007 imac had the same problem, it shoud work if you install windows on another computer (it can't support uefi, cause it must be installed as mbr partition table) and then put the harddrive into macbook. At least thats what worked for me
Do this again but with windows 11
Don't forget Target Disk Mode is (..was? Lol) a thing
Oh he knows! Nice
Firewire for the win. Literally have tb3 to tb2 to firewire adapter for stuff. Unfortunately my audio device doesn't have drivers on arm (which was my main reason) but works on my pc over tbolt (since I replaced my fw card with a tb card to get 20gbit tb network to my Mac studio) so just use a wicked audio over network thing, sonos something? And get basically 0 latency over the tb network even with like 100s of 2496 channels at least. But having fw drivers on arm would be nice, its technically possible but Apple has 0 docs as I even went to try and write the driver myself/port a Linux version
I was able to get windows 11 installed on my iMac 7,1 from 2007 by flashing windows to go directly to the drive with Rufus
Great video ❤
i have installed windows on my 2011 macbook pro
Awesome! I hope it's running well! Those MacBooks are still a solid choice!
i got win11 leak working on my a1181 rip macbook 😢
Wait this isn't MichaelMJD Video LoL
XD
Nice
face reveal: 2:44
Was the face reveal at around 2:50 intentional?
Yup 🤣
Shrexy
try older version of windows 10 maybe?
Okayyyyy it definitely didn’t work but now try doing the xp to vista upgrade video later
good vid
I bought a 7950x and 128gb to replace my FX-8350 32gb video editing system.
I can't use it for 5H1t because I can't get Windows 7 to run on it.
And H377 will have to freeze over before I use Windows 10 or 11.
What am I suppose to do now, computer industry. I installed Zorin Linux on it, but that's not going to run my video editor.
I've tried WIndows 10 on other computers. WIthin 5 minutes I'm screaming at the computer. It's unusable for anything..
The START menu is screwed up, al the control panels are different, there's all this spyware and chartfunk everywhere, a visually impaired blind person just can not switch OS's and learn where the position is all over again. I know hwere stuff is by position now, not because I can read icons or words on a screen. Typed this comment blind... from WIndows 7... on you know, an obsolete 1984 PS/2 Model M keyboard.
At least it still runs on macOS Catalina Patcher than Windows OS..
It actually can't even do that, it's a 2006 one so it has no graphics support above 10.7 😭
@@techmw1988 it can run on El-Capitan patcher with 4GB of ram..
It can, but there's no graphics acceleration so it's terrible 😂
@@techmw1988 it could maybe runs on El-Capitan Patcher for that..

Did you use a 32 bit installer?
Yep
I installed windows 10 to a virtualbox VM on my early 2009 iMac and it is SLOW AF
There’s a great new invention called the ssd that you should try out
@@0w3nn it was running on an external SSD
my bad I didn't read the virtualbox part. Then yeah obviously a virtual machine is going to be a little slow. Well, very slow
@@0w3nn the same vm runs way better in my late 2015 imac. And also older windows versions on virtual box on my 2009 iMac run fine like windows 7
on old computers I have had some weird issues installing W10. When I try to boot from a USB it takes ages to load in some computers, like half an hour of the black screen with blinking underscore till it started the install process. I honestly don't know if that's the case in there because it was a white screen and it's a computer from Apple, but I would like to know how much time did you waited? It's funny how W10 seems more stable, but I have never encoutered the same issue with W11
Oh no computer has died 😂😂😂
