• Resized Partition Boot Camp, is no longer work

  I used the Tune Camp to resize my Boot Camp partition, which worked very well.  I can boot into Mac or my Boot camp.  But when I tried to load my partition Boot Camp in Fusion, I got an error message stating that I had to "remove my hard drive and then add it back."

  So, I went into the settings of for my Boot Camp in merging partition and removed my hard drive.

  But now I can not add it again.  I do not know how to proceed, and Fusion does not start from my Boot Camp Partition not more because he does not see any hard drive.

  Can anyone help with this?  Or, can anyone describe how can I say merge to re - install my partition Boot Camp, or re - initialize somehow?

  The following has not been updated for Fusion 3, but is still applicable in what to do as much as to try to correct the situation.  Because you used a third-party tool 3rd you can have inconsistent information between GPT and MBR and could require techniques advances in recovery of preforms however try which is below first.

• The Boot Camp Partitions drive and abandon

  I am running OS X El Capitan, Version 10.11.5 early 2016, 12 inches and I am trying to load Windows 8.1 Pro using Boot Camp.  (ignore what is in the product box)

  Boot Camp successfully created a program loading of Windows, including the Apple drivers on my USB.

  I was able to successfully partition my HDD 256GB.  50 GB for Boot Camp and ~ 200 GB for my OS X.

  After the partition, the Boot Camp program is finished and I have a screen with my Mac OS disc and my Boot Camp disk.   My Boot Camp drive is completely empty.

  When I restart the Boot Camp, I gives me the possibility to remove the disc from Boot Camp.

  How can I load Windows 8.1 on my Boot Camp drive?   Should I delete the disk Windows/Boot Camp Partition and start again?

  Macs 2015 and more late do not use a USB Installer. Disconnect the external storage, launch BCA, delete the current Windows partition and start all over again. You must put the ISO of Windows in your Documents folder and it must be dismantled.

• Boot Camp or Parallels 11

  Hello

  I just bought a new Mac Book Pro 13 "Retina Display. I intend to use Windows 10 on my mac book as well. For the most part, I'll use windows for commercial purposes like MS Office, email, photoshop, navigation and sometimes I could use it for the basic games.

  I'm stuck between Bootcamp and parallels. Parallels seems more user-friendly, attributes of parallels seems as easy as switching between two systems also things I want to do it on Windows could not push the memory and device allows to execute in good performance. However I still have concerns about the Parallels because of performance issues I've read so far. Since its running the two systems at the same time, it could reduce the performance of the laptop. I would get the best performance and the face with minimal breakdowns of the system that I use.

  Also, I read a lot of articles that says that boot camp is best in performance wise but I couldn't make the decision for my case and my features. I need suggestions from other users who are more experienced with Mac in order to make a decision between them.

  Plug from my laptop.

  Thank you

  Perhaps you are not aware of this, but OS X comes with e-mail software. MS Office is available for OS X, just like most of the products like Photoshop Adobe. OS X also comes with its own browser. My question is why you must use Windows to run programs that you run on OS X without using Windows?

  Although Boot Camp is slightly faster with Windows and Parallels, but unless the speed is essential Parallels is much easier to use provided that you have sufficient memory to run two operating systems simultaneously.

• 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?

  1. What is your Windows language setting?

  2. you can get the drivers BC6 W10 from Apple.

  

• 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.

• VMware Fusion 5 and Boot Camp 4

  Hello

  I experienced performance problems in programs related to the guest operating system (Windows 7) 3D in VMware Fusion 5 (inside OS X Lion mountain). I had to install Boot Camp 4 to do my job.

  Could you please tell me if I'll be able to use my material directly when I start my disk to Boot Camp with VMware Fusion?

  I would like to know if install VMware Tools don't mean anything?

  I still can use my Boot Camp separately from time to time (with complete equipment of available resources).

  I running everything maxed-out MacBook Pro with the Retina display.

  Thank you

  Could you please tell me if I'll be able to use my material directly when I start my disk to Boot Camp with VMware Fusion?

  Generally material only between a normal file based Virtual Machine and execution of the partition Boot Camp as a Virtual Machine's hard disk.  With a normal file base Virtual Machine to the default hard drive is virtual and with execution of the partition Boot Camp in a Virtual Machine uses the physical volume of the physical disk.  The rest is no interpreted differently, whatever issues you work around native-boot will always be a problem when the Virtual Machine running the partition Boot Camp in a VM as if it was a normal file-based.

  I would like to know if install VMware Tools don't mean anything?

  Usually without however you really have no choice but to install VMware Tools running the Boot Camp partition in a Virtual Machine or WPA/OPA will be an ongoing problem when switching back.  VMware Tools will manage the permutation of the WPA/OPA database between two environments after Windows and Microsoft Office (if installed) are enabled in each environment.

  I still want to be able to use my Boot Camp separately from time to time (with means complete material available).

  You will be able to do.

• Cannot use Win8 Boot Camp partition for vm installation

  So I have a new installation of Windows 8 RTM (from TechNet!) new in Boot Camp. However, Fusion 4.1.3 both the Tech Preview will be forever stuck on 'Partition of preparation to present itself as a virtual machine

  Fusion 5 supports Windows 8 Boot Camp.

  The problem, I think you saw, a failure to "VMware Fusion is preparing to present itself as a virtual machine" can be caused by the State of the Windows registry. While I do not have a fix for this right now (us have a bug filed and work on it), I have a workaround.

  The problem occurs after the Boot Camp virtual machine has been put in place, but before it is turned on for the first time as a virtual machine. Fusion strives to insert registry keys and allow drivers to the boot device, and in some situations, it is unable to do. To work around the problem, you can add these keys and activations of pilot (!) manually, under Boot Camp itself. They do not interfere with the help of Boot Camp natively.

  If the problem occurs, you should

  (1) find the folder/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Resources/naos-1.0.vmwarevm/reconfig.iso and open it in OS X, which will mount the ISO.

  (2) copy the 'bootcamp.reg' on the ISO file and copy it to a folder on your Mac, or on a USB key. We will have this file from Windows.

  (3) restart your Mac under Bootcamp native.

  (4) from Windows, find the file bootcamp.reg where you saved it and double click to add these settings in the registry.

  (5) restart your Mac under OS X, start the merge and recreate the machine virtual Boot Camp.

  (6) it is likely that it will fail again at the stage of the "preparation of your virtual machine", but it is more critical because the necessary settings have been added to the register already. What to do, is prevent the Fusion to remove the virtual machine when you acknowledge the failure. We will do this by renaming the virtual machine.

  (7) when the Committee alert error is displayed, use Terminal or Finder to rename the virtual computer. You will find the Boot Camp virtual machine in your home folder in ~/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp. Note that the ~/Library folder is hidden by default in OS X Lion and Mountain Lion, so the simplest to get this folder of the Terminal, no viewfinder. If you want to do the renaming via the Finder, open a Terminal window and enter the command "open ~/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines / Boot Camp" and Finder opens the folder normally hidden for you. Rename all of the Boot Camp virtual machine, which will prevent the Fusion to remove it as a failure, then acknowledge the alert Panel. You can rename the VM Boot Camp to 'Boot Camp', or simply drag it to the library of VM merger under the name that you gave.

• Boot Camp Windows 7 partition can preprocess

  Hello

  I just got a new MacBook Pro 13 "(2,66 ghz), ran the wizard boot camp to install Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, then used the disk utility to create a FAT32 partition that is easily accessible by Windows and Mac." I did it by resizing of the Mac OS X partition, and then create a new FAT32 partition using the new unallocated space.

  Everything worked so far, and I was able to start easily in Windows 7 and OS X.

  However, when it came to VMWare Fusion, I couldn't boot into Boot Camp partition even for the first time. After hitting the "Run Windows of your Boot Camp partition" shortcut, VMWare is trying to preprocess for awhile before hitting this error:

  "Boot Camp parition preprocessing failed. You may not be able to start your Boot Camp partition in a virtual machine. »

  The virtual machine appears in the menu after it, but hit the button "Run" results in this error message:

  "Could not open the disk" / Users/Daniel/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp/Boot Camo.bmwarevm/Boot Camp.cmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on. "." Reason: resource busy. »

  I chased the forums and the closest, I learned to my situation is as follows:

  http://communities.VMware.com/message/1525899

  I think this extra FAT32 partition might be the reason why VMWare has questions because I read about how the number of the disk could change when I added this extra partition. So I tried this step (http://communities.vmware.com/message/1423849#1423849) of the thread above but can't find not the entry of the disk/dev/or anything that resembles this entry in the plist (Yes, I properly open the .plist file using the xCode property list editor).

  Is there anyway that I might be able to solve this problem by having perhaps VMWare to find the right partition?

  Thank you very much!

  I suspect that this extra FAT32 partition might be the reason why VMWare has questions because I read about how the number of the disk could change when I added this extra partition. Then I tried this step (http://communities.vmware.com/message/1423849#1423849) of the thread above, but did not find the entrance to the disk/dev/or anything that resembles this entry in the plist (Yes, I open the .plist file correctly using the xCode property list editor).

  The problem with multiple entries in Boot Camp in the library has been resolved in Fusion 3.1. However, even in previous versions, it was only a problem on systems with several hard drives. So, should not be a problem for you.

  The two errors that you get ("preprocessing failed" and "resource busy") are likely related - of the preprocessing step probably fails if the partitions are occupied. This happens if there is a file that is currently open on one of the partitions. Try to disassemble the two partitions using disk utility before you start the merge.

  Normally this shouldn't be necessary, but it is possible that disk utility the request disassemble a more energetic partitions. I would be interested to know if the problem happens again on subsequent starts of the merger with the mounted partitions.

  I also recommend deleting the entry of Boot Camp VM library merger and recreate from scratch by clicking on "Run Windows of your Boot Camp partition" on the home screen of the library. It will pass through the stage of pretreatment again. The pre-treatment is required to correctly detect the guest OS type, the drivers for the virtual hardware configuration and the installation of the VMware Tools.

  Windows 7 is much more user-friendly for the hardware changes, so it is possible to start the virtual machine, even without pretreatment (previous versions of Windows would get a blue screen because they could not find the boot device). If you want to use a VM Boot Camp without the preprocessing step, be sure to set the type of operating system invited to the correct version (Windows 7 x 64 for you) and manually install VMware Tools.

• Changed the size of the Windows Boot Camp Partition - now merger does not

  My Windows partition was too large, so I used the scroll bar in Boot Camp to reduce its size.  Start directly on Windows (via system preferences) works very well.  However, I got an error message (I should have written it, but it didn't) when you try to start Windows using the merger.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the merger, but now when I start it up I got a message "no boot device found".  I would still be able to use the merger through the Boot Camp partition.  My thought is that the easiest way would be to completely remove Fusion, because the Boot Camp partition works fine on its own.  Apparently, the rest backout package still some files on the hard drive that caused the errors after reinstall.

  Any ideas on how to remove all traces of Fusion I can do a completely new reinstall?

  VMware Fusion of uninstalling/reinstalling will not solve this problem, and all you have to do is delete the partition Boot Camp package of Virtual Machine that is basically just meta-data and does not affect the physical Boot Camp partition by deleting.

  Note: These senses are different which have already been posted so read and follow through... Note: These steps assume that you have a single Apple to default installation of Windows on a single Boot Camp partition and Boot Camp of VMware Fusion single default partition Machine virtual (without a snapshot *) and if you have changed the partition Boot Camp Virtual Machine to add additional hard disks to be virtual or RAW disk then do not use these instructions unless you backup the Boot Camp partition the Machine package virtual first. * Also note that Fusion 2.0.0 may accidentally have a snapshot with the virtual partition Boot Camp Machine and it should not have, then you should check to ensure that the condition does not exist as well. (With merger closed if the partition Boot Camp Virtual Machine package is over 1 MB in size, then you might have a snapshot in place and do not continue with these instructions.)

  1. If the merger is open, close it.

  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.

  Although it is not supported, it will work however it depends what Guest select you when the virtual machine based on the creation of a regular file.  I don't got no problem using Windows Server 2008, when the virtual machine based on the creation of a regular file.

  On your Boot Camp partition was a clean build or you have an existing Boot Camp partition previously Virtual Machine.  If you had a Boot Camp existing partition previously Virtual Machine then try the following.

  VMware is a company so I doubt that you have implemented the company however, your statement is a bit ambiguous because it is not clear if your always talk your partition Boot Camp Machine virtual matter in Fusion, you tried to select each of them as an OS on the entrance of Boot Camp partition on the Virtual Machine library and it didn't help the Boot Camp Virtual Machine partition number or to be issues with creating virtual machines with these operating systems.
