Boot Camp Assistant not showing options

I want to uninstall Windows XP or just delete the bootcamp partition, but the page select the Boot Camp Assistant tasks offers only 3 choices of n/a:

1. create a Windows 7 or later install drive

2 download the latest Windows support software

3. install Windows 7 or later

Selection 3 does not include 'delete an existing partition to Windows' so check this and clicking on continue I get "installation disc is not found." Insert W - XP installation disc and clicking on continue evokes a 'create a Partition for Windows' and I see a partitioning scheme (but I am unable to adapt to it) and only one choice for "install".

My clone my old drive SSD did not save the partition? The scheme of partition in the previous step is proposed as opposed to real?

Thanks in advance for any help!

1. check that the Windows XP Home edition is not a virtual machine.

2. after the release of order OS X Terminal - diskutil list.

  • Boot Camp Assistant does not start the installer

    Hi all -

    I'm trying to install Windows 8.1 or 10 Pro on my mid 2015 Macbook Pro. I made this countless times on before Mac computers, including my 2013 previous Macbook Pro without problem. However this laptop seems to have problems during the process. Or I do something wrong and don't understand how it works now.

    I started Boot Camp Assistant, walking through the steps, divide the disk, etc. He began the restart process, then it restarted,... then I was back to my Mac. There was no indication that he was still something, but I let it sit for a few minutes. When I was confident it would do nothing, I decided to restart and hold down the 'Option' key on startup to select the Windows disk...

    OK just thought of this, but I will continue to write this question: Boot Camp Assistant request now an ISO standard. I still remember having to do this from a USB or CD player. I hold down the 'Option' and select the DRIVE or a CD drive but since I do not have either, I can't select it. I thought it was a problem in which nothing appeared on the screen except Macintosh HD.

    So I guess that the problem comes from my ISO file? I made them using the instructions from Apple of physical disks (Windows 7 and 8.1, but my laptop does not support 7). I will try to download Windows 10 Microsoft site, according to Apple.

    Anyway, I looked in the disk utility and found that BOOTCAMP was created successfully. I used Boot Camp Assistant to delete the partition and to combine the disc again. I then tried the whole process, once again, but with the same results.

    Still, I will try with a new ISO directly from Microsoft...

    Thanks for any input in advance.

  • Boot Camp Assistant 3.0 for Windows XP

    I need to install Windows XP on my Mac mini (compatible with Windows XP DVD early 2009) since it is the only OS that will run a specific software that I need. I have Snow Leopard disk but does not know how to access the wizard Boot Camp 3.0 (apparently the only one that works with Windows XP) on this subject. I am El Capitan 10.11.6 running and when I plug the drive, I have been informed that the Setup program no longer works. When I search "optional downloads" I can find no sign of Bootcamp 3.0. I would be grateful for all the useful tips for how to find 3.0 Boot Camp Assistant. Thank you.

    Configure Windows XP Boot Camp is possible in 10.6.8 and earlier versions. If you wish, use a program like VirtualBox to run it in emulation.

  • Boot Camp will not install on Windows 10 (end of 2015 imac)

    Bought an imac 27 "5K retina, end of 2015

    1 TB - (not the Fusion drive)

    OS X El Capitan

    All applications are updated on both OSX

    Version of Windows 10 Education loaded 64 bit ISO file (3 times 2 of 1 Flash of office)

    After loading Windows 10 - installation of Boot Camp program starts - but after a few minutes, I get a little window with a red X

    The installation stops (I tried the OK TWO hit and hit X to close small, then the windows in the "Installation")

    But no Boot Camp file is installed (worked with Apple Care - but they don't have any other suggestions.)

    How can I get the Boot Camp assistant on the Windows partition? I can't find Boot Camp 6 downloads anywhere.

    I don't have files from Boot Camp on side Windows to run (or disk Flash Drive)

    Windows runs and work THOUGH - I have questions - no sound, the mouse does not scroll, have not spent a lot of time to discover other issues.

    Another thing to NOTE - on the side of OS x with Boot Camp Assistant - I don't get always the choice to select tasks - that is not available - my boot camp assistant didn't need to start from a flashdrive (external drive) it will be the start of a download of office. I thought to use Boot Camp Assistant to load the ISO on the flash drive - but I do not get this option (select tasks).

    Any help is appreciated - is there an external way to download Boot Camp 6?

  • Boot camp does not start windows 7 alley

    I have the following Setup: Windows 7, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 and Boot Camp.

    The only thing I did was Boot Camp Manager to select Mac Windows as boot drive (at the time there was only 1 icon visible in the window, not the 2 that you expect!) (1 for windows and 1 for OS X).

    After the start of Mac I can't get back into Windows more. Now the ALT/Option key does not work, I do not receive the start of disk icons, he begins just to Mac every time. Configuration screen/boot that Mac disks is also visible.

    But if I run the Boot Camp Assistant, it gives me the opportunity to remove from Windows 7, it seems that Windows 7 is here!

  • El Capitan and Windows 10 Boot Camp Assistant

    Hi, this is my first post so apologies if I've left out anything important. Let me know and I'll add the necessary details.

    Fast, I have been using Windows for years and I wanted to get into Apple and finally last month made the leap. I have a brand new MacBook Pro with 16 GB of RAM El Capitan - 10.11.4 running. However, I am having a lot of problems with the creation and installation of 10 Windows using Boot Camp.

    I had this work with Windows 10 times but made some fundamental mistakes. I resized the partition windows using a windows product so that I could add another partition. This seemed to work and I used it for a short time BUT when I tried to boot into El Capitan would not and that it would only boot Windows. After reading on what I see now that resize the windows from windows under Boot Camp partition is a no-no. lesson learned!

    To actually do things once again, I removed the windows partitions using disk utility. (Again I see now that it is an another no-no that I'd
    used Boot Camp Assistant to remove Windows!) Eventually however, I managed to get to El Capitan, working on the single partition, it is now again works fine and as far as I can tell without any problem.

    After having to go that if I went back to load 10 Windows using Boot Camp. All works until the final start in the section windows it:

    • Creates the separate windows partition
    • Load the ISO file
    • The Windows Support Tools downloads
    • Runs the ISO file and everything looks good... see below: (apologies for the poor quality of the screenshots)

    Then, during 'Finish Up', I get an error window:

    "Windows has no prepare the computer to start the next phase of the installation." To install Windows restart installation. »

    I tried many things such as to download the Windows ISO file again, running SNC and LANDAU after removing the Windows partition using Boot Camp Assistant and ensure that all other connections to the MBP is deleted except WiFi and get always the same message. As the whole process takes a few hours and tried to work through this for some days now, I would really appreciate some advice/help here for this issue very frustrating sorted.

    Thanks in advance

  • The Boot Camp Assistant problems

    I'm trying to install 10 Windows on my MacBook Pro 13.3 2015 "running Mac OS X El Capitan (10.11.2) but I can't not (for software that is not supported by Mac OS X). I tried several times but it still says that my disk space is not enough (don't remember the exact words in the error message). I then opened the Boot Camp Assistant in the terminal and saw that it only recognizes that the reader would have 4 GB of free space available (I have a 500 GB SSD and 130 GB is used) but some insane amount about 140000000000000 GB has been used (what?). When I check in disk utility, I get also some suspicions that Boot Camp Assistant selects the Macintosh HD partition, instead the real player. In the Boot Camp Assistant, I can choose the size of the partition (I want let 370 GB for OS X in the Macintosh HD partition and get 128 GB for Boot Camp / partition Windows 10). I can't get this to work and I am grateful for any help!

  • Help! Boot Camp will not read my Windows 7 installation disc

    I need to repartition the hard drive on my Mac for Windows to give more space. I thought it would be simple but not.

    I am running OSX and using Boot Camp 4.0.1.  I made an image of my Windows side, saved the side Mac and was able to remove my original windows partition. Now, I'm trying to use create the new partition and install Windows 7 from the disc, I bought two or three years.  It does not create the partition because "the installation disc is not found." This drive worked perfectly the last time and was intact, sitting in its case, then there is no reason to be damaged. My player plays other discs.

    I missed a step somewhere? Do I need a new disk of Windows? I don't know how to replace my drive. I think that I bought on Amazon.  The ISO-image-on-a-USB option is not available. I'm stuck!

    If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it.  I bought my son a video game for his birthday which works only on Windows.  The thing is HUGE. It not was not in these games when I did the initial installation or I would have allocated a lot more space.  I had no idea!  He was eager to try this new game.

    Thank you

  • Boot camp do not restart in Windows install

    Hello. I'm trying to install Windows 10 on my early 2015, 13 "Macbook Pro, El Capitan. Wizard boot camp through partitioning and rebooted, but it restarts in OS X and not in the installer of Windows. The ISO was downloaded directly from the Windows website without problem (Win10_1511_2_EnglishInternational_x64, 4, 46 GB of files). When holding down the option key when starting key only the Macintosh HD does, no view of the BOOTCAMP partition even if it is visible under storage.

    My Macbook is the most expensive thing I own so I would avoid the bricking of her if possible, I would be grateful if someone could guide me through this. I desperately need Windows installed so everything just do not solve this is not an option. I've attached a screenshot of the partition under storage, although I don't know if that would be any help.

  • Boot Camp can not install Windows because of the formatting?

    I have a 2012 MacBook Pro (500 GB to 8 GB memory storage) with the OS X 10.11.3. I try to install Windows 8 Pro (64-bit) using Boot Camp. When I restart my computer after creating the partition, I have two USB ins journal. They say Windows and the other says Boot EFI. When I click on the option of Windows, I am taken to a screen that says that there is no bootable disk and restart with an inserted. When I click on Boot EFI, I did get into the Windows partition and can start set up for installation, but when I get to the stage where it asks me to install Windows, none of the listed drives are able to have Windows installed. I have a list of 4 disks, all drive 0 and then partition 1,2,3,4 respectively. 4 is the one that is 46.6 GB (I created Windows to be 50 GB), so I guess it's that I need to be installed in. However, when I click on any of the partitions, this message appears: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is a MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows cannot be installed to GPT disks. Windows cannot be installed to this disk. Hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu. "After talking with the Apple support (who told me it was a matter of putting in the form any and to talk to the Windows how do I reformat) and Windows support (who took the opportunity to remind me why I had stopped using them in the first place), I think I have a better idea of what it means , but I have no idea what to do about this. Anyone have an idea how I can fix?

    You have two choices.

    1. use GPT Fdisk to delete the MBR and continue boot EFI. Later, it is problematic when you install the drivers for the Apple hardware.

    2 use a USB2 flash drive and let BCA create setup of USB and partition your drive. No matter what Manual partitioning or manipulate the installer USB can cause problems.

    Hi all.

I'm trying to use Boot Camp to install Windows 10, how ever when I load the Boot Camp, he goes to the option to partition disk and wonder where the ISO file is located, but it never gives me the ability to create a Windows ISO on my USB key as did previous versions of Boot Camp.
