Fusion, Boot Camp and Ubuntu

I have a system with OS X and Ubuntu dual boot on my Mac. A friend told me he uses the Fusion to launch its Windows Boot Camp installed in a virtual machine. Fusion can do with a physical installation Ubuntu as well?

Apple only supports Windows XP and Vista under Boot Camp and in turn VMware support that that Apple supports.  That said implementation of VMware Boot Camp market partition a Virtual Machine is wrong and can be problematic, because Apple does not guarantee the name of BSD to a Volume and VMware does not explain this and that has its own set of issues and has been covered before in this forum, so I will not repeat.  Now, that said if you really want to try to virtualize a training Camp does not support configuration you can try creating a Virtual Machine around him by using a raw disk, and this can be done with vmware-rawdiskcreator, so take a look at my answers in hard drive not found as a reference to the use of vmware-rawdiskcreator.

Also by default on a normal Boot Camp partition Fusion Virtual Machine cannot interrupt / Snapshot Boot Camp partition Virtual Machine and I do not know the parameters of Fusion 2.x to add Virtual Machines to the .vmx config file when manually creating a Machine virtual Boot Camp partition and warns the user if you Suspend or instant Boot Camp created manually partition the Virtual Machine and then run it natively you can potentially damage is beyond repair.

Now you really want to take any chances, virtualization of an operating system not supported on the Boot Camp partition with a product that does not even support an OS supported properly under the current circumstances?

  • Same key Windows Native Boot Camp and VMware Fusion

    Is it possible to use the same KEY CD Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) on installing native boot camp and VMware Fusion (2.0/3.0) installation?  After all, it is at the same time on the same real hardware.  Or do I have to buy two copies of Windows 7 ultimate (64 bit)?

    Yes, no problems at all doing.

    It therefore automatically appears in library of virtual machine window when you start merging.  Simply click on 'play' next to the thumbnail of BootCamp, it will start, Fusion will prepare to work in a virtual machine.

    She might want to turn on again, but you should only do this once for BootCamp and once in the merger. (Windows detects a hardware change and think that you take the hard drive to a new computer)

Without success.

  • Vista Ultimate, mac, boot camp and VMware Fusion

    Just installed VMware Fusion 2.0 and pulled on my Boot Camp Partition. Vista looks good as a virtual machine, but told me that must be activated and that the product key is already in use.

  • Boot Camp and Fusion

    I guess that there was a ton of discussion on this site and the discussion forums of Apple on the subject to perform the merge within the OSX or not or use it via Boot Camp. My current setup is to use Fusion to run Windows XP via Boot Camp. Honestly, I found nothing offensive about it because it allows me the opportunity to start XP in its native form using Boot Camp/Option key on start up if I don't want to have OSX running at all.

    My thought skewers leaving this alone and not create a 'folder' with Windows XP in OSX?

  • 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.

    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.

  • Scores of Boot Camp and Windows 10 anniversary of small size

    I have a Mid 2010 Mac Pro with a score of Boot Camp of 50 (46.7 GB usable) GB with Windows 10 1511 on it (10586 Build).

    I tried to install the update to Windows 10 anniversary but he barfed saying: I have only 6 GB free and he needs 20 GB.

    Almost all of this used 40 GB is the operating system is not as if I have no room to play with.

    I googled a bit and thought, maybe if I wrote the update of the birthday of a USB key, it might work, but it seems that it moves the existing build side and installs a new along?  (I read that you can nuke the old or existing version once the upgrade is done, so I'm guessing.)

    Looks like I'm basically screwed here.  Am I wrong?

    (I tried Paragon CampTune X software on my other Mac - a Mac mini - to try to develop a Boot Camp partition in a nearly empty new installation of Mac OS X, but it just kept gel to the top of the machine and create partitions news/broken, so he is no way trying that on my main bench).

    PS After reading the horror stories of what makes birthday to other non-Windows on the same disk partitions, I'll probably hold off further try everything again - would be good to know if I ever have the option.

    Answered my own question!

    I didn't know the hibernation file.  Disabled ("sleep" mode is good enough for me) and got rid of 16.7 GB of ugly fat.

    Fortunately for 24 GB of free space, so now I can wait for the fix "Windows 10 birthday destroys the other drive partitions"

    I have a problem with my VM ware / boot camp of activation. I have a Boot Camp partition on my Macbook Pro. I am able to boot the disc using the fusion, but when I try to use Boot Camp coming to the windows activation screen and my keyboard and mouse do not work so I can't press the button to continue. I tried to boot into safe mode on boot camp and the keyboard and mouse are not recognized either. I tried to plug in a keyboard and a USB mouse generic and is not no longer works. I am running XP pro (not OEM version).

    Does anyone have any suggestions on a cure?

    Hi tsugua,

    This sounds like it may be more than one Apple, or Microsoft problem. However, my recommendation would be to ensure that the leopard drivers have been properly installed. To install the insert drivers your Leopard installation disc and run the setup.exe if is not autorun. So, make sure you run software updates of the Mac OS to ensure you have the latest version of the Bootcamp drivers.

    Let me know if this helps.

  • resize boot camp partition, formatted and installed windows 7 - now cannot open in vmware fusion

    Here are the steps that I took...

    1 has started with the copy of Windows XP in the boot camp partition. "This is accessible from VMWare Fusion."

    2 resized (from 6 GB to 18 GB) and formatted the boot camp partition.

    3 successfully installed Windows 7 directly in the resized partition boot camp (not through VMWare Fusion).

    4. starts in OSX (latest version), open VMWare Fusion and attempted to access the partition to boot camp/vm. Received an error message charging me to disassemble and reassemble the physical disk changes. However, since I did it, he cannot find a bootable disc, therfore making it the useless bootcamp VM.

    Note: These steps assume that you have a default Apple installation of Windows and a VMware Fusion Boot Camp Virtual Machine default partition and if you changed the Boot Camp partition the 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 Virtual Machine package first.

    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 remove the Boot Camp Virtual Machine meta-data partition. Note: This does not affect the Boot Camp partition to install Windows. Also make sure that you copy the entire command below "rm" line at the beginning of the ' (quote) after the p in the Camp. "

    RM - dfr "/Users/$ the specified item was not found./Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines / Boot Camp."

    3. start Fusion (/ Applications/VMware Fusion) and select the Boot Camp partition on the library of the Virtual Machine window, and then click the run button.

    Notes: Then, an authentication dialog box appears. "VMware Fusion requires that you type your password." Enter your name and password, and then click OK. (It is necessary to remove the Boot Camp for the merge partition to access it directly).

    Then, we should see a Boot Camp partition message stating "VMware Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition to run as a virtual machine. This may take a few minutes. This occurs once. »
