Clean the remains of Boot Camp?

Hello

So I don't know if it's the right category, but long story short... I gave up trying to dual boot windows 10 on my Macbook Pro... apparently the 2009 version does support it which is probably why it has been such an a giant pain, anyway, no matter what I tried. In any case... I wonder if there is anyway to get rid of the images that Boot Camp Assistant has created?

As you can see there are two (multiple attempts to operate... I couldn't even install windows 7... -_-) I tried just their erasure in disk utility, but it says failed! Maybe I'm doing wrong? Apparently it is also supposed to be a feature in the Boot Camp assistant that allows to remove the Windows partition, but I don't have the option!

I am at my wits end and I was so angry I'll just reformat my entire hard drive and start from scratch! Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated...

Thank you

Matt

  • 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.

  • Why the two attempts to start are necessary to start the 10 Windows Boot Camp?

    The first attempt to start seems to stall after the first Windows will appear and the monitor did his normal black screen.   A manual power off is required.  The second attempt to start Windows 10 Home functions correctly.  This on a MacBook with OS X installed 10.7.5 late 2006.  This MacBook as the host has Oracle VM in VirtualBox for Mac installed with Windows 7 Home, Windows 7 Pro and Linux Mint installed 17.2 as guests.  All these operating systems work relatively well.  Only two boot problem with Boot Camp is unusual.

    Your 2006 MB does not officially support W10. If you use the startup disk and select Bootcamp, it requires a second reboot? You are using any third party NTFS software.

  • Two partitions of Windows after the installation of Boot camp?

    I have a new Macbook Pro from 2015, with OS X 10.11.3 El Capitan.

    I put the iso file of Windows 10 in the download folder and installed using Boot Camp assistant. After formatting the Bootcamp partition in the Windows installation guide and complete the installation, everything seems fine.

    But.

    When starting with the alt key to choose between Mac and Windows, I have now two icons Windows as well as Mac icon. A my Windows installed 10 boots, and the other icon starts the installation guide for Windows. Why is this last icon of Windows and the option to start the installation of Windows always there?

    Hi there Jer2015,

    Looks like you see an additional drive when you hold down option and start your computer, which will begin installing Windows again when selected. That sounds to me like you have the USB plugged with ISO on installation files. All you need to do is unplug it from the computer and it should no longer be an option.

  • Delete the files from Boot Camp

    I imported my BootCamp on merging partition and everything seems to work OK. In the VM library, I chose to delete, but does not delete the Bootcamp VM.

    Now I would like to know how to recover the Bootcamp VM previously deleted in the library so I can remove and delete it.

    You do not need to get it in the library Virtual Machine if all you want to do is delete it, do it from the Finder.

    It is located in the: "/Users/$ {USER} / Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines / Boot Camp."

  • Install the drivers/software Boot Camp partition or via VMware?

    Execution of merger 3.1.3 with XP Pro installed via Boot Camp. Works great, however, I would like to install a new WiFi card driver and a few other SW. Start Boot Camp and install or install while Fusion running? MacBook Pro running 10.6.8.

    TIA...

    I believe that the two courses are ok. Since your will install a WiFi card driver to your training camp, I suggest that you go to the training Camp in native mode and install it to see if it works very well, because in Fusion, you use a virtual network adapter.

    In theory, all the SW installed natively in Boot camp will work in Boot camp VM. And vice versa.

  • How can I install the drivers for Boot Camp of MacBook Pro?

    Joe Kissel, author of "Take control of VMWare Fusion 2," recommends users to install Apple's Boot Camp drivers to access remote cameras Apple Remote and iSight in VMWare:

    To install the Boot Camp Windows drivers:

    1. with Windows running in the merger, insert your Leopard installation DVD.

    The Boot Camp installer should run automatically.

    Auto repair: If the installation program does not work, check to see if the virtual

    CD/DVD drive is in use. To do this, open the Virtual Machine >

    Menu of the CD/DVD. If disconnect CD/DVD is selected, select it. That

    should cause the Boot Camp Installer run; If not, click Start >

    What I find instead is:

    Which is weird, because I do not use a MacBook Air, but rather a MacBook Pro (unibody). I can even see Boot Camp files on the CD/DVD drive, but don't know what to do with them.

    You can close Windows and then go into Windows Explorer on the CD/DVD drive and navigate to : \BootCamp\setup.exe and double-click it to start installing Boot Camp drivers. (The label of the disc will probably show that "WindowsSupport" in Windows Explorer.)

    as the remains of pieces of files

    Hello!


    You posted in the wrong forum, I'm afraid, because you don't really have a problem with the malware (unless this unwanted software is malware).
    If this is not malware, you can not be helped here.
    However, I would recommend looking up the software name in 'computer '. If you see "Softwarename'log or something like that, you can delete it as long as you are sure that it is nothing important to do with existing programs or your operating system."
  • After update of El Capitan, Fusion 8 will not open the Boot Camp virtual machine

    Greetings!

    I'm having a problem with the Fusion 8 since my update to El Capitan.   My Boot Camp partition is functional and I can boot directly into it very well - all my files and data are intact.   However, when I try to start the machine Boot Camp in a virtual machine within OS x, I get the following error:

    Operation not permitted

    Cannot open disk "/ Administrator/Users / / Library/Application Support/VMWare Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp/Boot Camp 2.vmwarevm/Boot Camp 2.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends."   Module 'Disc' on failed.   Unable to start the virtual machine. »

    I remember a message from the update of El Capitan, indicating that it is an element incompatible Parallels and disabled.   I thought it was the components of laggard remains from when I ran a parallel trial a year ago, but perhaps it is related?

    Help, please!

    Hi gang,.

    I have a solution for this!   After I created this post, I created a ticket with support and they solved it for me.

    Here's the skinny: El Capitan has changed something wise permissions to access data files on the Bootcamp partition.  VMWare said they were working to solve this, but in the meantime they had me do made me upward and short... just remove the entry of the virtual machine Boot Camp in Fusion and recreate it.   I recommend you save beforehand in case where, but this process does not affect the data on your partition, only one definition of the Fusion of the virtual machine and how you can access your score.

  • Problems with Windows 7RC in the Boot Camp Partition

    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.

    ====================

    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.

    2. in a Terminal (/ Applications/Utilities/Terminal) copy and paste command, as the following and then press Enter and it will delete the partition Boot Camp Virtual Machine of the metadata and the Virtual Machine to help.

    Note: This does not affect the Boot Camp partition install windows in that it does not remove it.  Also be sure you copy all the command line below, as well as, "RM" at the beginning of the ' (quote) after the s in the Machines. "

    RM - dfr "/Users/$ the specified item was not found./Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Helper/naos-1.0.vmwarevm/vmware.log ' ~/Desktop/Helper_vmware.log

    I tried implementing VMWare using Vista and Windows Server 2008, 1280 MB RAM and 3D on and outside.  Any ideas?

    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.

  • Merge cannot make Boot Camp virtual machine: perhaps too many places of the VM?

    I get the error message, well known in the VM library window "Bundle" & lt; pathname & gt; "" / Boot Camp/%2Fdev%2Fdisk0/Boot partition.vmware.vm Camp "is damaged and cannot be opened."   However, my problem is not solved by the solutions proposed elsewhere in this forum.

    At the bottom of this post, I listed my host config and invited desired config.

    Here is a brief history, followed by what happened when I tried the solution of WoodyZ published here.

    • I had Windows XP Pro SP2 on my Boot Camp partition, but somehow ended up 'inaccessible' SigmaTel audio device and the Leopard installation DVD could not repair it.  I imported this partition to Boot Camp in the Fusion as a virtual machine.  This virtual machine is now stored on the external hard drive in "/ Volumes/ExternHFS/_CCCnonBackup/virtualMachines/Boot partition.vmwarevm"+ Camp.»  This virtual machine still works when loading in the merger, but the sound does not work, nor made a called M-audio Transit USB connector.  That's why I decided to create a new partition in Boot Camp with a SigmaTel audio device cool.

    • There are Kubuntu and NetBSD virtual computers stored in another default folder: yangguizi/Users / / Documents/Virtual Machines /

    • Using wizard Boot Camp in Leopard, I erased my Boot Camp partition and then recreated with a new installation of Windows XP Pro SP2.  (By the way, I've formatted this partition in NTFS.)  This Boot Camp partition is the device of SigmaTel installed and accessible from the control panel.

    So I wanted to make a virtual machine of the new Boot Camp partition.  When I opened the merger, I highlighted the new Boot Camp partition down and clicked on the arrow of comments are starting to the right.  A window saying "Vmware Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition to run as a virtual machine.  This may take a few minutes.  This will be possible once. "That window remained open for 45 minutes.  Finally, I closed merge by clicking the choice of menu to quit Vmware Fusion.

    Thereafter, whenever I opened the merger, I saw the message "Bundle" / Users/yangguizi/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Machines virtuelles/Camp/%2Fdev%2Fdisk0/Boot Boot Camp partition.vmware.vm "is damaged and cannot be opened.' " next to the new Boot Camp partition.

    When I highlighted this new Boot Camp partition in the VM library and you press the delete key, absolutely nothing changed, that I could see.  Right click on the list of this score showed that the menu choice 'delete' is gray.

    Then I closed the merger, and then manually moving the file to the trash "/ Users/yangguizi/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines / Boot Camp / '.

    The next time I opened the merger, a new icon for the Boot Camp partition has been displayed at the bottom, with the subtitle "Powered Off".  When I clicked on the icon start Guest, a new folder/Boot Camp / was created in the same place, and the never-ending open window showing "Vmware Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition to run as a virtual machine.  This may take a few minutes.  This will be possible once. " Blah, blah, blah.  If the cycle turned up.

    I am at a loss what to try next.  Here are three assumptions about the problem:

    1. Fusion has been confused by the three communities during which I virtual machines.

  • Fusion has been confused by the fact that I have, potentially, two virtual machines called "Boot Camp partition".  The older is actually a virtual machine hard disk external.

  • When I installed XP in the Boot Camp partition, the external Firewire drive was running. Then installing Windows saw much more of partitions on which XP could in theory have been installed.  This may have confused merge somehow, even if I successfully installed XP on partition C, which was 32 GB.

  • Did fix you this problem?  Even if you haven't, what do you suggest me I try next?

    Thank you, Yang Guizi

    You can just get rid of the all/Users/lincoln/Library/Application Support / directory / Machines/virtual VMware Fusion; It should all be recreated. The virtual machine to help naos is than the pretreatment of Boot Camp. You don't want to get rid of all the of them, the only one in the specified directory.

  • 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.
