Hello everyone,
I managed to install Win XP 64bit on the partition created through Boot Camp Assistant, now I just need to install the drivers in order to use all the hardware in my MBP Late 2011 (running OSX 10.9.3).
If I got it right it seems like Boot Camp 4 and 5 don't support XP anymore? so what can I do in order to install the needed drivers?
Sorry for this silly question but unfortunately I really need to run XP
1. No version of Boot Camp supports Windows XP 64-bit. Boot Camp versions prior to 4.0 contain drivers for the 32-bit edition.
2. You may want to use a product such as VMware Fusion, Parallels Desktop, or VirtualBox instead of Boot Camp.

Not a silly question.
- Each new version of Boot Camp supports the latest version of that other OS only.
- The Virtual Machine software ( VM ), Parallels Desktop,VMWare Fusion and VirtualBox will support most versions of a range of OS's and you'll have access to both OS X and the VM simultaneously.
- A good intro is VirtualBox as it is a free download.

OS X Mavericks: Use Windows 7 or Windows 8 on your Mac
- my previous post was not exactly correct.

Which BootCamp has Windows XP drivers?
