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

OSX backup via TM boot in the recovery of the Internet, erase your entire internal drive, restore the TM backup, run SMC/NVRAM reset and try to re - install W10.

Your problem with remainders of W10 floating outside the Bootcamp partition, which cannot be properly cleaned when THE is used to delete a partition.

  • How to share a partition between El Capitan and Windows 7

    Hi all

    You are looking for assistance.

    I'm relatively new to Mac OS and you want to configure a MacBook with El Capitan and Windows 7, with or without boot camp. I have a 1 TB SSD hard drive, where I want to divide it into 3 partitions with the following:

    200 GB Mac OS partition

    Score of 200 GB Windows 7 OS

    600 GB shared partition accessible between the 2 operating systems.

    Whenever I have set the shared FAT32 partition it would either mess boot camp install Win7 or boot camp Win7 will not install unless the FAT32 partition is removed. I even installed Win7 without boot camp and the shared partition is safe on Mac OS, but not accessible in Windows.

    Hope that all makes sense. Help will be very appreciated.

    Thank you in advance.

    1. in what year is your MBP?

    2. you can

    a. either manually partition and create the partitions you need, if you need to use Bootcamp, or

    b. install W7 as virtual machine and VM engines will allow you sharing (reading / writing) between the two file systems.

    3. There are many variations to two models of same. W7 and year of Mac are the main limiting factors for your disk formatting.

  • 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!

    Windows Installer can generate false messages on a disk space. Do you have any connected external storage when you try to install Windows?

  • 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.

    -Tony

    1. 2015 macs do not use a cable USB or CD/DVD to install Windows.

    2 creates a partition on the internal drive called OSXRESERVED and puts the content of the ISO and the drivers of BC on this 8 GB partition and boot from it.

  • 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:

  • Bootcamp El Capitan and Windows 7

    Hey guys. So I have a Macbook Pro (retina, 15-inch, mid-2015). My Windows 7 Professional is compatible with my macbook?

    Welcome to Apple Support communities

    I'm sure that you can run Windows 7 on the Mac with no problems, but Apple doesn't have any driver available for Windows 7, so Boot Camp does not support Windows 7 on your Mac. You need a virtual machine to run Windows 7.

    However, you can run Windows 8.1 and 10 Windows with Boot Camp on this computer-> minimum system requirements for installing Windows on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support

  • I could install a copy of Windows (via Boot Camp) on my external drive for Time Machine without erasing my backups?

    I want to use Windows 10 (for games) on my 2013 MacBook Air (13 ", 128GB flash, 1.3 GHz Intel i5, 4 GB of RAM), but I want to install it on my external hard drive because I am almost out of space SSD (34 GB remaining), and I know how large windows is. I have an external 1 TB harddrive that I use for my backups Time Machine, and I was wondering if I could transfer my copy of Windows hard disk external and implemented via Boot Camp. Is there a way to partition my drive so that my backup and Windows can both be there? And is there a way to trick Windows in race (start) from the external hard drive?

    You can install Parallels, but you will not be able to transfer your license existing if its already active in Boot Camp. You first need to remove the Boot Camp, then you can transfer it to Parallels. You may need to reactivate by phone:

  • Creating cloud apps on Windows (using Boot Camp on a Macbook) has stopped working

    So here's the situation:

    I've been subscribing to creative cloud (CC) for a few years now and I have the 'apps' installed on Windows (using Boot Camp on my Macbook Pro). Why is it I am running Windows on a Mac? Because for various reasons I ;-)

    A few months ago, I cancelled the subscription but decided to begin to subscribe again. That's when the problems started. Premiere Pro (which is the program I use most often) started to ask forlicensi ng/registration and registration from cc. whenever I started PP I to connect to CC with the result "Thank you for licensing/save...". "or something like that. The other day, I was in a meeting with a client to review changes in a project of PP and suddenly it does not help to to connect to CC. I am stuck in a loop where it says "thank you for the record...". "and then nothing happens. When I click on PP I sign again and so on...

    I called Adobe support and when I told them I'm using Boot Camp on a Mac the first guy said ' it is not supposed to work on Boot Camp or virtual machines and if it works it is probably due to a bug in the software '.


    I google a bit on this subject and can't find anything about supposed to CC to work with Boot Camp. When I was persistent and told them that they really help me because I'm in a hurry and that the customer is frustrated he actually hung. I called support again and this operator says 'We have no instructions on how to help users with problems in Boot Camp'.

    I tried PP uninstall and reinstall, but still get stuck in the Sign-in-loop. Could this something in the registry that I need to change or remove?

    I installed PP on my Mac OS without any problem. The thing is that I guess I can't open old projects created on the installation of Windows of PP.

    Any help on this would be much apprechiated.

    / Thomas

    Looks like the Support of Adobe has solved the problem. I called the third time and this operator is out of the box.

    I had to delete some folders (PCB Adobe, Cache SL, SL Store), and then start any application as administrator (Windows) and log in.
