Boot Camp and Fusion

I guess that there was a ton of discussion on this site and the discussion forums of Apple on the subject to perform the merge within the OSX or not or use it via Boot Camp. My current setup is to use Fusion to run Windows XP via Boot Camp. Honestly, I found nothing offensive about it because it allows me the opportunity to start XP in its native form using Boot Camp/Option key on start up if I don't want to have OSX running at all.

My thought skewers leaving this alone and not create a 'folder' with Windows XP in OSX?

  • Same key Windows Native Boot Camp and VMware Fusion

    Is it possible to use the same KEY CD Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) on installing native boot camp and VMware Fusion (2.0/3.0) installation?  After all, it is at the same time on the same real hardware.  Or do I have to buy two copies of Windows 7 ultimate (64 bit)?

    Yes, no problems at all doing.

    It therefore automatically appears in library of virtual machine window when you start merging.  Simply click on 'play' next to the thumbnail of BootCamp, it will start, Fusion will prepare to work in a virtual machine.

    She might want to turn on again, but you should only do this once for BootCamp and once in the merger. (Windows detects a hardware change and think that you take the hard drive to a new computer)

    Apple only supports Windows XP and Vista under Boot Camp and in turn VMware support that that Apple supports.  That said implementation of VMware Boot Camp market partition a Virtual Machine is wrong and can be problematic, because Apple does not guarantee the name of BSD to a Volume and VMware does not explain this and that has its own set of issues and has been covered before in this forum, so I will not repeat.  Now, that said if you really want to try to virtualize a training Camp does not support configuration you can try creating a Virtual Machine around him by using a raw disk, and this can be done with vmware-rawdiskcreator, so take a look at my answers in hard drive not found as a reference to the use of vmware-rawdiskcreator.

    Also by default on a normal Boot Camp partition Fusion Virtual Machine cannot interrupt / Snapshot Boot Camp partition Virtual Machine and I do not know the parameters of Fusion 2.x to add Virtual Machines to the .vmx config file when manually creating a Machine virtual Boot Camp partition and warns the user if you Suspend or instant Boot Camp created manually partition the Virtual Machine and then run it natively you can potentially damage is beyond repair.

    Now you really want to take any chances, virtualization of an operating system not supported on the Boot Camp partition with a product that does not even support an OS supported properly under the current circumstances?

  • problem with Boot Camp, VMware Fusion 3, ethernet does not (not driver)

    Hello guys,.

    I have Windows 7 Pro 64 bit installed in Boot Camp and I'm running as a virtual machine using VMware Fusion OSX 10.6.6 3.1.2.

    The problem I have is that the ethernet does not work under VMware, even with VMware Tools installed.  Device Manager shows no driver installed.

    I googled and found a lot of suggestions to add ethernet0.virtualDEV = "e1000" to the simultaneous file, but I looked and this line is already there.

    I tried reinstalling VMware, VMware Tools, the Boot Camp drivers, NIC Add/Remove VMware settings, change NAT to the deck and vice versa. Nothing works.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi Sandeep,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    Some of our community members reported that the solution you have included in your application got similar clock synchronization issues.

    As a registry edit is a sensible step but you can try and check, but before that, you can take a backup of your registry.

    To do: Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

    Yes, you must purchase a full license for the second installation of Windows 7 product key.  1 activation allows only one Windows 7 product key.  Apparently, you now have a second facility that requires a second product key. Carey Frisch

  • Vista Ultimate, mac, boot camp and VMware Fusion

    Just installed VMware Fusion 2.0 and pulled on my Boot Camp Partition. Vista looks good as a virtual machine, but told me that must be activated and that the product key is already in use. It is a commercial version of Vista and is only installed on the boot camp partition. VMWare support site was not very useful. Any thoughts?

    Hello, Greg Bazhaw,.

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers forum.  I've heard of virtual systems having this problem, you must activate Windows.

    To open Activation of Windows by clicking on the Start button, clicking computer, clicking Properties, and then click on click here to activate Windows now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  • Unable to connect to the network in Windows 7 using the Boot Camp via Fusion 2.0.4 partition

    I know that Windows 7 RC is not officially supported, but I was wondering if anyone had ideas regarding my current situation.  I'm running the RC 32 - bit of a Boot Camp partition, via merger on a unibody MacBook, and whenever I'm in Fusion Windows cannot connect to my network.  Previously, I had a vm file-based and it worked normally, and in Boot Camp, I can get online without problem.  I went to training Camp to see if the Aero effects would work (they did after I ran the test of Windows experience).  I tried mode Bridged and NAT and any Windows does not see my wireless network.

    At the time current Windows 7 in any version is not supported by Apple on the Boot Camp partition, nor is it supported in any way under Fusion.

    Take a look at the configuration of the Virtual Machine's .vmx file and make sure that the NIC is showing that "e1000" as in the following example.

    ethernet0.virtualDEV = "e1000"
    

    To get the location of the Machine configuration file virtual .vmx take a look at the Beginner's Guide has VMware Fusion or gather Information for VMware Fusion.

    Note: You should make the change while Windows is shutdown, not suspended and merger closed.

    You can use TextEdit to edit the .vmx of the target Virtual Machine configuration file and locate the file...

  • Drag / move - Boot Camp / VMware Fusion 2.0.4

    Hello

    While trying to find a solution for this by using the search function, I came to the top with the result. I have a Boot Camp partition running XP SP3 with VMware tools installed and am access this partition using Fusion 2.0.4. Everything seems to work very well outside this drag and drop does not work (it works for normal VMware images, however).

    What do I need to configure something special?

    & Sliding feature is provided by VMware Tools, then the only suggestion I have is for you to uninstall/reinstall VMware Tools in the virtual Boot Camp Machine score.  To do this, while running the Boot Camp partition in a Virtual Machine and then click Start > Control Panel > Add / Remove Programs > VMware Tools.  After uninstalling, you can reinstall by selecting install VMware Tools in the virtual machine menu.

  • boot camp and windows 10

    I'm trying to install 10 Windows with Boot Camp Assistant. I'm exactly as shown in all directions. I have a 2012 end iMac 21.5 ". It has a 1 terabyte internal hard drive. I've updated to the latest version of Mac OS x. I downloaded a legal Windows 10 professional image, although it seems not matter since I can't install it. Anyway. I followed all the instructions of the Boot Camp Assistant. I use an external hard drive for WININSTALL. Wizard Boot Camp works very well until it's time to create the partition on the hard disk called Bootcamp. It creates the partition, but does not do anything in this partition. Wizard Boot Camp attempts to boot from the new partition, but obviosly, there is nothing there. I tried to start the WININSTALL disc, who starts and wants to install Windows 10, but he cannot or will not be installed on the Bootcamp partition. You know what says the error message, because others have told you what he said, so I won't repeat. Obviously, Boot Camp Assistant does not use GPT, but rather of MBR to create the Bootcamp partition. I have tried many, many, many times to use Boot Camp Assistant to install 10 Windows internal hard disk, but each time he did exactly the same thing. I guess I'm crazy for trying to do the same thing so many times. Of course, there is something wrong with my iMac, because it seems that others are able to install Windows 10 on their iMac. So, would someone please tell me how to fix the problem so that I can install 10 Windows internal hard disk from the iMac?

    You need a USB2 Flash 8 + GB drive. You may use an external HARD disk, it is still problematic.

    It creates the partition, but does not do anything in this partition.

    BCA is not supposed to, until the Windows Installer starts and copies the files to the internal drive to put Windows on the internal drive. WININSTALL contains all the files needed to install Windows.

    EFI boot needs a GPT disk, the BIOS legacy mode needs a hybrid MBR (collection on a GPT disk standard). Your Mac 2012 preUEFI supports only the MBR properly. EFI boot not work correctly and cause driver problems.

  • Scores of Boot Camp and Windows 10 anniversary of small size

    I have a Mid 2010 Mac Pro with a score of Boot Camp of 50 (46.7 GB usable) GB with Windows 10 1511 on it (10586 Build).

    I tried to install the update to Windows 10 anniversary but he barfed saying: I have only 6 GB free and he needs 20 GB.

    Almost all of this used 40 GB is the operating system is not as if I have no room to play with.

    I googled a bit and thought, maybe if I wrote the update of the birthday of a USB key, it might work, but it seems that it moves the existing build side and installs a new along?  (I read that you can nuke the old or existing version once the upgrade is done, so I'm guessing.)

    Looks like I'm basically screwed here.  Am I wrong?

    (I tried Paragon CampTune X software on my other Mac - a Mac mini - to try to develop a Boot Camp partition in a nearly empty new installation of Mac OS X, but it just kept gel to the top of the machine and create partitions news/broken, so he is no way trying that on my main bench).

    PS After reading the horror stories of what makes birthday to other non-Windows on the same disk partitions, I'll probably hold off further try everything again - would be good to know if I ever have the option.

    Answered my own question!

    I didn't know the hibernation file.  Disabled ("sleep" mode is good enough for me) and got rid of 16.7 GB of ugly fat.

    Fortunately for 24 GB of free space, so now I can wait for the fix "Windows 10 birthday destroys the other drive partitions"
