I have an Intel iMac and a Full Version of Windows XP Pro that I would like to put on my Mac using Boot Camp. I get an error screen that says SESSION3_INITIALIZATION_FAILED and lots of 0's and x's. I looked up this error online and several sites suggest making a copy of the Windows Disk and using it, but it has to be burned on a computer other than the one I am loading it on. Doesn't make sense to me, but they say that works so I'm trying it. I have a Toshiba Laptop with Windows Vista on it and I managed to get XP as an ISO file on it, but I don't know how to burn it so it will work. I selected a data CD, popped in a dvd-r and just burned it that way, but my Mac does not recognize it as an install disk.
I have a friend who knows how to do this on XP, but we're all pretty clueless about the evilness of Vista. Anybody know something we don't?
