• My external drive thunderbolt causes 10 Windows to reboot into Bootcamp. Normal?  Difficulty?

  I have an imac of retina.  I use Parallels to begin Windows 10 without any problem at all.  Unfortunately, due to a problem of graphics card, one application will not work properly.  They advised me to install Windows 10 using Bootcamp, repeat this application and see if it works.  This resolved the conflict with this software.

  Unfortunately, Windows kept re-booting and ultimately would crash and must be put back in place (at least it seems).  I did this same process several times.

  Process of elimination, I found that if I unplugged the external drive thunderbolt, it resolved 100% of the problem.  No more problems with the re-start.

  I tried researching and I see people have problems with the Thunderbolt and Windows 10 screens, but really nothing else mentioned.

  My understanding is that this is not a conflict when you use Parallels because I am still running off the Apple ecosystem, but thanks to bootcamp with Windows only running, it gets confused by the thunderbolt connection.

  I know that this may be more a problem of winner - snoozing, but is there any work around this other disconnect me the Thunderbolt disc whenever I want to use the version of Bootcamp for Windows 10?

  Thank you.

• Movement 10 Windows on an external drive

  Hello people,

  As a newbie in the world of Macs, my pride is a mid-2015 Macbook Pro (15 ''), whose hard disk has been partitioned in 2: for OSX and Windows 10. For many reasons, I want to spend the partition 10 Windows on an external drive - can I connect whenever I want to use MS products. I read that Windows 10 can run from a drive that is connected via the USB ports - so I plan to a thunderbolt drive.

  Any ideas on how I can go about moving only the windows on the external hard drive?

  I don't mind using a lengthy process to copy the entire contents of the macbook on the external hard drive, and then deleting the part OSX - if someone can make sure it will work. and can give me some instructions.

  PS my level of skill / confidence (on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 = grossly incompetent and 10 = expert) on computer related things are 5.

  Thanks in advance.

• Can I install Boot Camp/Windows 7 completely on an external drive?

  My MBP has an inside 128 GB SSD, and insists on the creation of a 50 GB partition on it in order to install Boot Camp Boot Camp.  This would force me to erase most of what I have installed.

  Is it possible to force the Boot Camp Assistant to install on an external USB3 Western Digital 1 TB Passport drive I have?

  N ° Microsoft does not allow for Windows must be installed on external drives, which is the reason why Boot Camp requires you to create a partition for Windows on the SSD.

• Drive external DRIVE will not mount after resizing in Windows

  Hi all

  I got a 1 TB external drive that I used for a while about 10 Windows and OSX (El Capitan). I had two partitions Configuration for use on every platform without any problems.

  Then, I needed extra space on the Windows partition, so I think that, if I remember correctly, that I've resized using the disk management tool in Windows. I reduced the OSX volume and increased the size of the Windows volume. I can probably hear you all shout now.

  Surprise, my volume OSX will now not mount when I run in El Capitan. It does not show in disk utility, and the only way to 'see' it is using diskutil:

• Install Windows 8 on external drive Thunderbolt - Windows could not prepare the computer to begin the next phase of installation

  Hi all

  I'm at my wit's end trying to install windows 8. Let me start at the beginning: I used to have windows running on my Mac Pro ssd internal 8.1, installed via bootcamp. It worked well for a while, and then refused to start, gives me a blue screen KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE. Despite some advice from lonely T, I was unable to fix and ended up wiping the partition and relocation, again via bootcamp. Yet once again, it worked for a few months, then the same problem. I made this one last time, and it only lasted 2 days... So I gave bootcamp.

  I think that the hybrid MBR partition scheme that implements bootcamp is the culprit, but I don't really have evidence to substantiate this claim. In any case, I tried to install windows in EFI mode. (If I understand correctly, the hybrid MBR is set up to allow windows to install in legacy BIOS mode, but that windows 8 may now install efi, which supports my Mac Pro mode.) My Mac is the new Mac Pro (end of 2013, trash in shape), and I can say short UEFI 2.0 (I have the latest efi update from apple installed).

  The method I'm trying:

  1. create a new partition in HFS + on my external drive using disk utility. The drive has now it's efi partition and partition empty 750Go I want to install windows a 1.25 TB storage partition that I use with my mac. It has a GPT. I formatted HFS + and no FAT, because I think that disk utility creates the same hybrid-MBR as training camp every time a FAT partition is created.

  2. use gdisk to confirm that the disc does not have a hybrid-MBR. (sudo/dev/disk1 gdisk watch MBR: protection)

  3 restart my mac and hold the possibility to put in place to bring up the boot efi menu.

  4. Select the EFI_Boot DVD icon (that's the windows 8 install dvd that I have in my superdrive USB drive)

  5. go in the menus of the disk selection screen installation and delete the partition in HFS +, I created to install windows on (the format option is not available)

  6. now select "Unallocated space" on the good drive and click Next.

  The problem:

  Partitioning seems to go ok (there is no feedback on this basis, but it proceeds to the next screen, and all new partitions expected are there if I check diskutil list later). He said it is "copy of windows files", but then stops with the error "Windows has no prepare the computer to start the next phase of the installation." To install Windows, restart the installation. "If I restart, I can start the same process all over again and get the same result.

  The Question:

  How I get this error and get windows install?

  Extra pieces:

  • The first time it happened I assumed it was the new sip / thing "without roots" in El Capitan, causing problems, then I disabled, but I still get the same error.
  • After reviewing the diskutil list output after one of installs it without success, I found that a labeled EFI partition has been created after my storage partition (the original efi partition was still there in the upper part of the disc).
  • I have windows 8.1 installed now bootcamp on my internal ssd. It was planned to use it and winToUSB to put windows on my crush, but I found that it only works with usb2. I do not have installed could cause problems with the installation on another disk.
  • Before say you I can't run windows on an external, yes you can, and many people have. I read windows sees thunderbolt internal disks.
  • I read a few other posts on this and other sites on this problem, but could not find a pertitnant solution to my situation. I found one that suggested to remove the efi on my disk partition, but that seemed like a bad idea, so I didn't try.
  • I write this at 1 in the morning after a day spent in front of the computer trying to get this working, so please excuse typos typing or other. I am pleased to provide you with any pertinant information helping you will help me.
  • Thank you!

  The other thing I tried also almost succeeded:

  Although I prefer to get the method above works, because it seems the most promising, is something else, I've tried that I thought worth mentioning. If you offer advice pertaining to this method rather than the above, I would appreciate it if you could explicitly declare that at the top of your answer. Thank you.
  

  I tried to install windows on the physical disk using vmware and virtual box. The instrutctions I followed for this can be found here: http://www.andrewsavory.com/blog/2011/2156 (the only thing different, it's because it's on an external drive, I created the Fat 32 partition manually using disk utility). The first time (using vmware) installation seems to go off without a hitch, but I couldn't get my computer to see the windows partition as bootable with the boot efi menu hold-option regular refined or with system preferences-> startup disk. I think that I was using always inadvertently a hybrid-MBR at this stage. I tried to repeat this new beginning with the first two steps above to avoid the hybrid-MBR. But now when I try to create the virtual machine based on the gross vmdk, it starts to copy the files then says not sufficient permissions and fails. I don't know if it's a permission with the disk or the hard problem. I tried chmod 777 and chown $USER of the vmdk disk (/ dev/disk1s3) does not.

  Wow, that was a long post...

  1. when a second drive is detected by the Windows Setup program, he wants to create his own brand of EFI (104 MB) and not to mess with the Mac EFI (200 MB). You can force it to use the EFI to the Mac using Diskpart commands.

  2 instead of HFS/FAT32, create a piece of 750 GB free space and it should only get a new MSR/MSD, without the part of EFI.

  3. on your VM method, the link you have is quite old. You have a MP 2013, with references to the 2010 Mac alumni and is a bit too archaic to be useful. http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/install-a-Windows-7-partition-on-Mac-OSX-Wit hout-optical-car-or - usb.1836959 / #post... seems to work for many and can be useful for a test.

  on iMac OS 10.10.5, when I open a folder (by double-clicking) on an external drive, the folder does not open in a new window, but in a window that replaces the window that was opened.  I looked for a system setting that controls this (in system PREF), but I couldn't find anything useful.

• Cannot save files on an external drive because of "errors of window 82.

  Product name and number: HP Pavilion 6000 series BV601AA #ABA

  Operating system: Windows 7 Edition Home Premium 64-bit

  Error message: Unable to copy the file 'C:\Users\hp\Music\Master File\Johnny Hates Jazz - My Secret Garden.mp3' to "J:\Music\Music Backups\Johnny Hates Jazz - My Secret Garden.mp3.ffs_tmp".

  Windows 82 error code: the directory or file cannot be created.

  Changes before the problem has occurred: Some files may be damaged due to repeated power outages in which the system could not start correctly, or stop before losing power.

  Description: I'm trying to save a very large collection of music on an external hard drive so that if something happens to my computer, I have a back up from which to restore. I am using a free program called FreeFileSync, to start to do incremental backups of my music collection on the external drive as it grows. When I used it first, he copied about 15,000 of the 20 000 files without problem. However, for other files 5 000 or more, I was not able to due to "Windows Error 82. As by chance, I get an error from iTunes that tells me that the iTunes library file is not able to save, and I wonder if it can be related to the above problem.

  Other concerns: I tried browsing over the internet a response to this problem without much luck.  Some resources suggest using a registry cleaner, which I've tried without any effect. Other resources suggest using programs such as pc cleaner pro, and reimage.com, which I assume is intended to solve the problems of hard drive. However, almost all programs I've read on this subject might work, cost money which I'd rather not spend if there is a free solution. I am also afraid that if I paid for one of these types of programs they may not necessarily even solve my problem, and then I'm out of some species and still with my original problem. Someone at - it suggestions?

  No, in fact after looking around the answers in the other fourms, I found is that the external drive I was support until the problem in shape. I was doing backups on a disk that has been formatted in FAT32. My problem has been resolved on the reformat in NTFS.

• Refusal of the WORKSTATION to access external hard drive window

  Hello

  I can't access an external hard drive (WD My Book Home Edition). The problem happened when I disconnected my external drive from my Win XP Pro computer and plugged into another Win XP Home computer that had another WD external drive attached to it. Both my drive ext as wel as the other disk ext became inaccessible. I disconnected my 2nd computer ext drive and connected to computer Win XP pro that I always use. However even though my computer recognizes the drive I have noticed that the icon WD changed to a regular folder icon and whenever I try to open it, it says drive H is inaccessible. I also noticed that the folder icon was the same as the 2nd ext drive connected to the computer Win XP Home. I tried the microsoft bulletin:
  "This article describes how to capture a file or folder to which you are denied.
  I décliqués the "simplified" sharing and set permissions on a shared folder. "" After that it gives information about the ownership of the folder as follows:
  To take ownership of a folder, follow these steps: right - click the folder you want to take control and then click Properties.
  1. Click on the Security tab, and then click OK in the security message (if one appears).
  2. Click Advanced, and then click the owner tab.
  3. In the name list, click on your user name , or click on administrator , if you are logged in as administrator, or click the Administrators group. If you want to take ownership of the contents of the folder, select the check box Replace owner of subcontainers and objects.
  4. Click OKand then click Yes when you receive the following message is displayed:
     You are not allowed to read the contents of the directory folder name . Do you want to replace the the directory permissions with permissions granting you full control?

     All permissions will be replaced if you click Yes.

     Note folder name is the name of the folder you want to take charge.

  5. Click OK, and then reapply the permissions and security settings that you want for the folder and its contents.

  I can not follow these directions as I do not have a visible security tab. I was able to save things to my ext drive but cannot access it from the my computer window. I am therefore able to see the contents of the disc in the 'SAVE AS' window. Given that I'm not very good at the computer stuff can someone give me step by step instructions on how to access my drive hard Ext. window "WORKSTATION". Thank you in advance.
