  Summary of the problem:

• Cannot install Windows 10 from USB key on the MacBook Pro mid 2015 with OS 10.11.4

  I get this Windows error message, after formatting the partition with NTFS BootCamp: "we could not create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information see the installation log files. "I think I have meet the hardware requirements for Windows 10 and defined a 50GB partition - don't know what the problem is.

  See map of partition of the disk. There are GUIDS. The drive is probably Master Boot Record.

  Even if it is already GUID, I got the same message the first time that I went to install Win 10 on a disc that I knew (and verified) as GUIDS. Win 10 would not install until I've repartitioned the drive completely.

• Cannot install Windows 7 from the external DVD

  I got the Macbook Pro 13 "Early. 2011 Super DVD player has been broken. So, I bought a new hard drive (750 GB) and the original hard drive (320 GB). I change the position of the hard disk, I put 750 GB as the first hard drive and 320 GB as a second hard drive (by using the drive caddy).

  The current operating system is the Version OS X El Capitan 10.11.2.

  So I try to install Boot Camp using Boot Camp Assistant.

  Boot Camp Startup Wizard

  Presentation of the boot - you need an optical drive to install windows, so I plug my external DVD and put it inside the Windows 7 Installer, click on continue.

  Create or remove a Windows Partition - I select Macintosh HD (750 GB) and create a second partition for Windows, press to continue.

  Create a Partition for Windows - resize the disk partition of 750 GB became 498 for OS X and 250 GB for Windows. Tap on install.

  Partition drive...

  After the system restart and boot from external DVD

  The display flashes only _, I waited 10 minutes... does not.

  Reboot again without using external DVD, only a white screen (2-3 minutes) and appear only flashing _

  I tried using

  1 USB key and still the same.

  2. repair Boot Camp after having created the new partition

  3 remove the hard disk and install mac OS X using internet recovery, install OSX Lion, a Lion training camp and try to use refit, does not.

  Can someone help me?

• Try to install Windows 7 via USB, El Capitan, Macbook Pro 2011 but get this error "No. BOOTABLE DEVICE - INSERT BOOT DISK AND press ANY KEY ' when bootcamp restart my macbook to begin the installation. Any ideas?

  I am trying to install Windows 7 via USB, (El Capitan, Macbook Pro - early 2011), but this mistake "No. BOOTABLE DEVICE - INSERT BOOT DISK AND press ANY KEY ' when bootcamp restart my macbook to begin the installation. Any ideas?

  You cannot use a USB on Mac 2011 Installer. Please burn the ISO on a physical DVD Windows (a DVD - R Carbon SL on the rate of burning slower is better) and use it to install Windows. The file Info.plist changes only allowing the creation of USB, but does not fully support a USB Installation.

• Cannot install Windows 7 on Envy 14-1211nr of HP recovery disc sent twice

  Cannot install Windows 7 on Envy 14-1211nr of HP recovery disc sent twice

  The Recovery Manager starts well. He correctly completed the following steps:
  1 format HDD

  2. copy the files from the CD to the drive. It copies all the 3 CD.

  Then he ask the driver (the 4th CD) CD. Once I have this CD, then after awhile I get messge below:

  Contact HP support

  In most cases, recover the hard disk will solve your problems.

  If your problem persists, you may have to contact HP support. Find details of support HO in the documentation of your PC.

  After that I see above meaage the only button I can click is "Finish". Once I click on finish, then in a minute, I get a message that "recovery completed successfully.

  The laptop restarts and displays the message on the screen "Bootmger" not found

  I called HP support and asked to run the hard drive and memory test and he succeeded.

  I can install windows on another CD I have with.

  But I can't install WIndows using the recovery CD, I received from HP. It's the 2nd CD series that I received these don't work or the other.

  I have two identical laptops. Tried installing on both and having the same problem on both.

  Can you please help with this.
  HP sends fake CDs?

  Hello

  Here is another solution, you can try to see if you can get Windows 7 to install correctly.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the version exact same origin supplied with your laptop ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

• Cannot install windows XP on the Satellite Pro A200-1N2

  Jin

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1N2 PSAE3E and I don't want Vista on my laptop. I downgraded the bios to V5.30 but still cannot install windows xp and there is still no optin for SATA in the bios.

  Can someone help me?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Did you install the SATA drivers first?
  You need this driver to recognize the HARD drive!

  You must download the Intel Matrix Storage Manager. You should find it on the page of the Toshiba driver or the Intel Web site.

  You must perform the installation of an external USB FDD drive using the F6 key during the installation of Win XP.

• Cannot install Windows on MacBook mid 2012 El Capitan 10

  I struggled for a few days to the new installation of Windows 10 on my MacBook Air mid 2012, 13 ". I just upgraded to El Capitan, but my bootcamp still shows the version 5.0.4 (473) when I go to install Windows 10 via USB bootable 64 bit, bootcamp opens with "older versions of Windows are not supported. Please use a Flash DRIVE or a Dvd that contains Windows 7 or later. "I don't know how update bootcamp separately, because the only updated to bootcamp 6 can I download is a .exe, which does not work on my Mac. Is there a way to get around this? Am I missing something? I also saw on other forums where there is a menu actions in bootcamp to download windows drivers, but my bootcamp is not a drop Action. The usb key that I use is a Samsung 32 g (fat32) 3.0 flash drive. Help, please. Thanks for your time :)

  1 is it possible have two installations of Mac OS X or your upgrade is not yet complete. Please check the about this Mac and confirm.

  2 has been upgraded to El Capitan made using the App Store?

  3. you have more than one boot disk for your Mac?

  4. you can always re - run the upgrade of El Capitan, which will be re-install/update the missing files.

  5. What is the name of the .exe file that you can download? What is the source?

  6. If possible, use a USB2 flash drive. USB3 drives can cause problems.

• Qosmio F30-140: cannot install Windows operating system-> no. HDD

  I bought the Qosmio F30-140 and I can't install Windows XP from my original cd: / recovery cd works fine but it installs a bunch of stuff I didn't need if I want a clean install...

  so when I run my winXP cd Setup program I get the error message: "Setup did not find any hard drives installed in your computer..."

  Although I can run windows normally which is installed from the CD of restoration... I think it's something with the hard disk drivers.

  How can I overcome this? Thanks in advance :)

  Hello Sarunas

  There s nothing wrong! Nothing with HARD drive or other hardware!
  You have just installed the RAID driver
  The Toshiba Recovery CD contains the RAID driver and so you can install it without any problem.
  But the Windows CD contains no such driver and therefore the RAID driver must be installed at the beginning of the configuration of Windows installation procedure.

  Windows will ask you 3 RAID driver. The RAID driver, you can find on the page of the Toshiba driver. Download it on the floppy drive and connect the external USB FDD drive.
  From there, you will be able to install the RAID driver.

  Good luck..
