• Boot Camp is no longer showing as bootable disk but still readable

  Hello

  I recently tried to increase the size of my boot camp partition and I partitioned my internal drive to create a space to be able to use this free space to extend the windows partition in to. However, after you have created this space empty on my drive, the bootcamp windows no longer displays when I hold 'alt' on power. Finder can still read the bootcamp drive and all files seem to always be there. I'm really confused and any help would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want to uninstall boot camp and reinstall again that it would cause a problem for some software licenses.

  Thanks in advance!

• We can establish a common partition for Mac OS and Windows Boot Camp

  I'm new to Mac, so please excuse my ignorance.

  I have a MacBookPro 11 mid-2015 with 512 GB SSD and 16 GB of RAM.

  I have Mac OS X El Capitan and that you have installed 10 Windows using the Boot Camp utility on a 150 GB partition. I wanted a common partition on exFAT which could serve as a repository for my data either of the OS. My intention - 150 GB for Mac OS - 200 GB of data - 150 GB for Windows 10. How can this be achieved?

  Earlier, after the Boot Camp, I reduced the Mac OS to 350 GB partition to 150 GB and released 200 GB. Formatting this turned me expensive because it stopped my Windows to start. Repair it was a waste of time and effort. I draw the hard Windows on a Mac is sensitive to changes in the partition.

  In addition, is using Virtual Box better than Boot Camp? I don't have as much virtualized environments.

  Please advice.

  You can connect an external drive of ExFat formatted. The OSX and Windows can read/write on a disk formatted ExFat.

  A virtual machine has its advantages, as does a Boot Camp facility. A virtual machine allows the simultaneous OS, any necessary initialization to change operating systems. Data can be shared between operating systems more easily. Computer such as memory resources are shared in a VM for applications environment to run slower.

  Installation of Boot Camp allows Windows to run in native mode by using all of the system resources, so apps will go faster. But to change operating systems, a reboot is required. It is more difficult to share data.

• Where to download the drivers for Boot Camp (especially for the Apple TrackPad) 6.0?

  I have been using Apple TrackPad with a laptop work (published by company, Windows only) for several years now. Working recently been upgraded to Windows 10 laptop and TrackPad Apple seems to not work well.

  Is there anywhere I can download the boot camp 6.0 or more precisely that of Apple TrackPad driver pack?

  Please download the general of brigade (https://github.com/timsutton/brigadier). A Mac is easier, but it also works well on Windows, provided that you have installed some of the underlying software that brigadier needs. You must provide a model of Mac and it will provide a WindowsSupport.dmg for this specific Mac/model on which this trackpad is supported.

  What is the new Trackpad2 or the original Trackpad?

• How to install windows 8.1 using boot camp on sierra os

  Im trying to install windows 8.1 64 bit on my end 2011 MacBook Pro using boot camp.

  I downloaded the ISO from Microsoft file and saved it in the downloads.

  i boot boot camp and she has 2 activated options are: software DOWNLOAD to apple support and the other is latest windows install or remove windows 10 or later.

  I'm not sure why it says windows 10 as it is not compatible with my mac earlier. anyway I check the two options and then bootcamp download all drivers and records them in my pendrive of 32GB.

  He then asks me what hard drive partition and I choose but then it says: he cannot find the installation file. I tried opening the file so it is mounted, but nothing works. I thought it's supposed to tell you what to do?

  Thanks for any help

  A Mac 2011 needs a physical DVD to install Windows and need to use the optical drive (CD/DVD). You cannot use an external CD/DVD drive.

  Please burn the ISO on a DVD-R SL and then click the installation option only.

• partition boot camp disappeared after resizing Macintosh HD

  Hello

  I have a macbook pro with OS X El Capitan 10.11.6.

  I had a windows 8.1 installed on boot camp and ran out of space on windows, so I tried to extend the space by adding a new partition on mac and then merge on windows using the "minitool' but when I rebooted with now that the ALT key was not the boot camp partition...

  I then started the mac and changed the boot disk in boot camp and restarted and it gave me a message "there is no disk bootable..." or something like that.

  It's really important not to lose the windows and more important still do not have to format the new laptop please (because I had a similar problem before Re: Partitioning a Hard Drive Error on MacBook Pro)

  I tried to check for similar discussions but seemed to I'll do it is harder to resolve because I do not understand most of what is said and was afraid to do worse.

  Hello MayMedhat,

  I understand the partition Boot Camp have been adjusted and you are no longer able to access the windows on your MacBook Pro.  Because you cannot access side Windows of your Mac after setting, you must recreate your Boot Camp partition and reinstall Windows on your Mac.

  Set up Windows on your Mac partition
  
  

  Change the size of the partition

  It is not possible to change the size of the partition after installing Windows, but you can delete the partition and create a new partition to the correct size. Do not try to resize your Windows partition or a third-party application.

• Wizard Boot Camp - cannot locate ISO

  Hello!

  I'm trying to partition the drive of my MacBook (OSX 10.9.5) to install Windows 10. I have the. ISO on my office file, which seems to be intact:

  

  Boot Camp Assistant will recognize the ISO. I get this message:

  

  I have an installation disc to install Windows 10? I was under the impression that the ISO file would work...

  Help!

  Thank you!

  Your model does not offer using a USB Installer. You must use a physical DVD.

  Windows 10 can be directly installed, with the wizard of BC, on your specific Mac Help. See a list of Macs that support W10 in using 10 Windows on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple support . However, you can install W7/W8.1 and then run an upgrade on the spot to W10. Be aware that there are no drivers certified by Apple for your specific model, if it is not listed.

• Sierra takes in dual boot with Boot Camp? Laminated through 25 pages. Did not direct discussions or responses.

  Installation of Microsoft Windows need to run Microsoft 'Access', which is not available to OX. Until I try to install OX 10.0.2 does anyone know if it supports the dual boot with BootCamp or similar? Thank you!

  Boot Camp creates a Windows partition on the internal disk and allows the computer to be switched between Mac OS X and Windows, but not to have two OS running at the same time. make products such as VirtualBox.

• 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.

Obviously, Boot Camp Assistant does not use GPT, but rather of MBR to create the Bootcamp partition.

  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.

  Run the wizard of BC and delete the current partition. Disconnect the external storage, perform the following two procedures

  Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support

  How to reset the NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

  Run the BCA and use a flashdrive USB2 (not a HARD drive). The USB key will be erased/formatted. The content of the ISO or Windows 10 DVD will be copied on this flash drive with drivers Apple supporting restart environment that supports your keyboard and mouse and display. Do not interrupt the installation in any way using the Alt/Option key.

• Resized partition Boot Camp, now cannot start Windows

  I have a MacBook Pro (with the retina) with a 128 GB SSD which was, until recently, evenly divided 50-50 between Mac and Windows 8.

  However, I need more space on the size of Windows, so I reduced the size of the Mac partition to 40 GB and then, because for some reason I couldn't expand the Boot Camp one, I had to create another partition that I could use to put my stuff in side Windows.

  I did this via Windows.

  I now, weeks later, started in Mac for the first time since, and now I can't get back into Windows. The partition is not present on the desktop, or in the boot disk utility.

• Win 7 Boot camp on Mountain Lion. Upgrade to Mac OS Sierra destroy boot camp?

  HI people,

  been my mid 2010 MacBook Pro OSX lion mountain for a long time. I have a boot camp partition installed with windows 7.

  I need to work from home.

  I recently got an iPhone 7 and it requires iTunes 12.5, which is not supported by mountain lion so I can't restore the backup of phone of my iPhone 5 to the new phone.

  MY internet connection is shocking to iCloud backups will take forever to download then.

  So if I decide to move on Cougar to macos Sierra so I can install the correct iTunes to my new iPhone version and thus keep all my old applications and data, will it trash my installation of boot camp windows 7?

  Thanks guys,.

  Hello lees220,

  Thanks for asking for help with Boot Camp here in Apple Support communities. I understand how it is important for the dual-boot option. Here's what I recommend.

  The first thing we want to make sure is that all your data is safe. You can perform a backup using Time Machine and an external hard drive. Some people recommend an external hard drive twice the size of your internal hard drive, because finally he fills with the backups, but as long as you have a car large enough to store all the data currently on your Mac that will suffice. Use this article to help make a backup of your Mac: use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac. This backup of your Mac partition only. You will need to use another method to back up the Windows partition if you need.

  Once you have a backup of your data, please see this help article: install Windows 7 and older versions on your Mac with Boot Camp. It shows in the picture that your model of Mac must use 5 Bootcamp with Windows 7 64-bit. There is also a link to the software support in the article, but I will also provide you with here: Boot Camp 5.1.5621. Support software

  If you want to try another version of Windows, use this help article to verify its compatibility with your model of Mac: minimum system requirements to install Windows on your Mac with Boot Camp.

  Once you have the software support, open Boot Camp and that there should be an option to repair Windows or install a supported software. If you don't see these options, it would be preferable to delete the current partition and start over using the information provided here to ensure that everything goes smoothly and in order.

  Thank you and have a wonderful rest of your day.

• Boot Camp Windows 10 incorrect use of storage

  Hello

  I have a 2015 end MacBook Pro with 500g of ssd. I have 10 windows entirely running and allocated approximately 250 g for it. But when I go to the use of the storage in the settings, it shows that my C: drive is 698g. I also checked command prompt and records management, but it seems that everything is normal.  In addition, I also fixed the disc as well in mac and Windows operating system recovery mode, but it didn't work.

  Recently, I used camptune to increase the size of the partition boot camp in 100g, and I strongly suspect that this could be the problem, but I have not found a solution.

  Thank you

  Can you post the output of

  diskutil list

  Cs diskutil list

  You may need chkdsk on the Windows side.

• Boot camp install Win 7 on iMac 27 "(ultimo 2009)"

  Hello

  I am experiencing a problem installing Win 7 on my iMac 27 "(ultimo 2009)." I got this version installed two years without a problem, but now it concerns me.

  When you create the partition, bootcamp and starting from the Win 7 DVD I am able to install it without problem. When the PC reboots after you download windows support on my USB, install windows and is about to start Windows for the first time, it freezes and the screen is all black.

  I read on the support site you need to create and image of the Win 7 dvd which should be used in conjunction with boot camp, but I can't choose this option (it simply is not here) "disk image", when using boot camp.

  So what to do?

• Microsoft and Boot Camp partition

  Hey everybody! Yesterday I tried to install Windows on my MacBook Air 128 GB (latest edition) using Boot Camp. Boot Camp worked well, until in the middle to partition hard drive when the computer turns off. When I started the computer once again there was no sign of Windows anywhere. However, when I looked in my computer storage I have only 77GB available (the amount I selected for the mac OS during the partitioning, the rest of the space was for Windows). Online, I read that it's very easy to delete the partition, and that all you had to do was run Boot Camp again and restore the hard drive. However, when I try this I get the message that I must have at least 50 GB of free space available. I easily have enough space available when you include section partition that I can't access, but I don't have 50GB of space on the side of Mac partition. Does anyone have advice on how I should fix this problem? Is the only way I can to delete things as much as possible out of storage on Mac? I already tried this and remove as much as possible get to 50 GB of free space, including the section 'other '. What is the only way to proceed? If someone has any advice on how to remove unwanted useless in the section "others"? Thank you so much in advance!
