This is an extremely pointless thing to do. So I had to do it. Today we're going to try and install Windows XP on an Apple TV 1st generation!
Chapters:
00:00 - Introduction & Explanation
02:31 - Trying the Boot Camp Betas
05:41 - Troubleshooting
07:25 - Making it Worse
08:18 - Trying to Boot off of the Install DVD
10:26 - Linode
11:26 - Trying Another OS X Image
12:36 - The Realization That I’ve Been Wasting My Time
13:20 - Explaining Why I've Been Wasting My Time
14:09 - The Plan
19:07 - Setting Up the XOM CD
23:08 - Trying rEFIt
31:37 - Windows XP EFI Patch
35:08 - "I don't know where we're at in this video."
35:36 - Recap (I didn't mention rEFIt, but that was a thing I tried as well)
37:49 - The Plan 2: Electric Boogaloo
39:29 - Connecting a DVD Drive to the Apple TV via IDE
47:02 - Outro
Corrections:
37:04 - The Apple TV first gen IS capable of booting from USB devices, but it requires the drive to contain a mock version of mach_kernel to trick the Apple TV into thinking that its booting into the modified version of OS X that it ships with. This is how people run OSMC and other Linux-based distros. I actually made such a video on OSMC years ago, but it slipped my mind during the filming of this video.
