Issue Installing Win XP SP1 on a MacBook

I get the message "File acpi.sys caused an unexpected error (512) at line 5897 in d:\xpsp1\base\boot\setup\secup.c.

Then it says setup failed, press any key to restart your computer.

any suggestions?

thanks!

Try disabling the devices in your PWS configuration and see if that get's you past that point. I was able to setup XP (no SP) without incident. I've since forth patched to SP2.
