• Help! Boot Camp will not read my Windows 7 installation disc

  I need to repartition the hard drive on my Mac for Windows to give more space. I thought it would be simple but not.

  I am running OSX and using Boot Camp 4.0.1.  I made an image of my Windows side, saved the side Mac and was able to remove my original windows partition. Now, I'm trying to use create the new partition and install Windows 7 from the disc, I bought two or three years.  It does not create the partition because "the installation disc is not found." This drive worked perfectly the last time and was intact, sitting in its case, then there is no reason to be damaged. My player plays other discs.

  I missed a step somewhere? Do I need a new disk of Windows? I don't know how to replace my drive. I think that I bought on Amazon.  The ISO-image-on-a-USB option is not available. I'm stuck!

  If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it.  I bought my son a video game for his birthday which works only on Windows.  The thing is HUGE. It not was not in these games when I did the initial installation or I would have allocated a lot more space.  I had no idea!  He was eager to try this new game.

  Thank you

  Did you delete the original Boot Camp partition through the Assistant Boot Camp in OS X?

  Do that first, then re-create it in OS X and follow the instructions to reinstall Windows 7:

• Error: "Windows could not update the configuration to start the computer. Installation cannot move forward"during the installation of Windows 8 64-bit OEM System Builder on Macbook Pro for help using Boot Camp

  Hello

  I have a brand new Macbook pro and I bought the OEM System Builder of 64-bit Windows 8 driver in a store. My problem is that I have not only not able to install it using Boot Camp. At the end of the installation, a message appears with the following text "Windows could not update the configuration to start the computer. Installation cannot continue.

  I'm not really a tech guy but I also tried to download virtual box and the same error comes back.

  Can someone help me please?

  Thank you!

  Original title: Windows 8 64-bit English OEM System Builder

  The thread is old now, but it is for those who always have this problem.

  When I got the error, I cancelled and restarted the machine. I pressed the 'option' button when starting upwards and he grew the boot partitions. You should see a 'EFI Boot' partition. Choose that and you restart the installation process, but this time it works.

  Supposedly the boot EFI and WinInstall partition should do the same thing. Manually, select one or the other.

• Boot camp windows 7 without internet probs

  Hi, can someone help me please?

  I installed windows 7 64 bit, cd, everything seems ok part of I can't go on the internet.

  I downloaded bootcamp and tried to install the drivers but it says that they are not compatible for the mac.

  It's a macbook pro 13 "mid-2012, and I tried to install boot camp 5 and 4.

  any help appreciated.

  Hello lees220,

  Thanks for asking for help with Boot Camp here in Apple Support communities. I understand how it is important for the dual-boot option. Here's what I recommend.

  The first thing we want to make sure is that all your data is safe. You can perform a backup using Time Machine and an external hard drive. Some people recommend an external hard drive twice the size of your internal hard drive, because finally he fills with the backups, but as long as you have a car large enough to store all the data currently on your Mac that will suffice. Use this article to help make a backup of your Mac: use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac. This backup of your Mac partition only. You will need to use another method to back up the Windows partition if you need.

  Once you have a backup of your data, please see this help article: install Windows 7 and older versions on your Mac with Boot Camp. It shows in the picture that your model of Mac must use 5 Bootcamp with Windows 7 64-bit. There is also a link to the software support in the article, but I will also provide you with here: Boot Camp 5.1.5621. Support software

  If you want to try another version of Windows, use this help article to verify its compatibility with your model of Mac: minimum system requirements to install Windows on your Mac with Boot Camp.

  Once you have the software support, open Boot Camp and that there should be an option to repair Windows or install a supported software. If you don't see these options, it would be preferable to delete the current partition and start over using the information provided here to ensure that everything goes smoothly and in order.

  Thank you and have a wonderful rest of your day.

• Version of Boot Camp for Windows XP

  Anyone know if a downloadable version of Boot Camp would allow me to Boot Camp/install Windows XP on my Mac mini with OSX 10.11.6? Thank you.

• Windows 10 could not locate the boot camp partition

  I'm trying to install 10 Windows on an iMac end of 2015 with a 512 SSD.  With the help of Boot Camp and an ISO of Windows 10, I am able to create the Bootcamp partition and the iMac restarts in the Windows of Windows installation. I enter my product key for my Windows 7 DVD and reach the screen showing partitions.  I select "disk 0 Partition 5 Boot Camp" partition and click on 'Format' according to the Apple support document.  The partition is then renamed to 'Drive Partition 0 5'.  When I select the next button, I get the following error message:- "we couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one.  For more information, see the Setup logs files'.  The Windows Installer does not progress.  I deleted the partition several times using bootcamp and restarted the installation and always get the same failure.

  Any advice on how to install Windows would be greatly appreciated.  Boot Camp 6 will let me install Windows 7 on the iMac and so I need to use Windows 10.  I guess the Windows 10 ISO downloaded from Microsoft will work with the Windows 7 product key and Setup seems to accept it.

  Please, disconnect all external storage devices to your iMac and run the following two procedures.

• Where should I install the Boot Camp updates: Windows or Mac?

  With the help of Boot Camp, I have installed Windows 10 when my OS from Apple was Yosemite. Recently, I upgraded the operating system Apple to El Capitan. Today, while working on the side of Windows 10 things, I got a notice of pop-up that I should install the update for Boot Camp. So I have two questions actually:

  • (1) was not the latest version of Boot Camp included in the update of El Capitan? and,
  • (2) should I download it then install the Boot Camp update, when I run Windows 10 or when I'm on the side of Mac?

  1 n ° with the exception of the Boot Camp Assistant, all components of Boot Camp are Windows software and does not part of Mac OS X.

  2. do Windows.

• Cannot use Win8 Boot Camp partition for vm installation

  So I have a new installation of Windows 8 RTM (from TechNet!) new in Boot Camp. However, Fusion 4.1.3 both the Tech Preview will be forever stuck on 'Partition of preparation to present itself as a virtual machine

  Fusion 5 supports Windows 8 Boot Camp.

  The problem, I think you saw, a failure to "VMware Fusion is preparing to present itself as a virtual machine" can be caused by the State of the Windows registry. While I do not have a fix for this right now (us have a bug filed and work on it), I have a workaround.

  The problem occurs after the Boot Camp virtual machine has been put in place, but before it is turned on for the first time as a virtual machine. Fusion strives to insert registry keys and allow drivers to the boot device, and in some situations, it is unable to do. To work around the problem, you can add these keys and activations of pilot (!) manually, under Boot Camp itself. They do not interfere with the help of Boot Camp natively.

  If the problem occurs, you should

  (1) find the folder/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Resources/naos-1.0.vmwarevm/reconfig.iso and open it in OS X, which will mount the ISO.

  (2) copy the 'bootcamp.reg' on the ISO file and copy it to a folder on your Mac, or on a USB key. We will have this file from Windows.

  (3) restart your Mac under Bootcamp native.

  (4) from Windows, find the file bootcamp.reg where you saved it and double click to add these settings in the registry.

  (5) restart your Mac under OS X, start the merge and recreate the machine virtual Boot Camp.

  (6) it is likely that it will fail again at the stage of the "preparation of your virtual machine", but it is more critical because the necessary settings have been added to the register already. What to do, is prevent the Fusion to remove the virtual machine when you acknowledge the failure. We will do this by renaming the virtual machine.

  (7) when the Committee alert error is displayed, use Terminal or Finder to rename the virtual computer. You will find the Boot Camp virtual machine in your home folder in ~/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp. Note that the ~/Library folder is hidden by default in OS X Lion and Mountain Lion, so the simplest to get this folder of the Terminal, no viewfinder. If you want to do the renaming via the Finder, open a Terminal window and enter the command "open ~/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines / Boot Camp" and Finder opens the folder normally hidden for you. Rename all of the Boot Camp virtual machine, which will prevent the Fusion to remove it as a failure, then acknowledge the alert Panel. You can rename the VM Boot Camp to 'Boot Camp', or simply drag it to the library of VM merger under the name that you gave.

• Problems with Windows 7RC in the Boot Camp Partition

  I have Windows 7 RC (32-bit) running on a Boot Camp partition on a 2nd generation of MacBook Air.  When I try to load it in VMWare Fusion 2.04, I get a BSOD just after the "Starting Windows" screen finishes loading.  It says that Windows has detected a problem, try to restart and executes the boot system diagnostic tool, nothing helps.  I tried implementing VMWare using Vista and Windows Server 2008, 1280 MB RAM and 3D on and outside.  Any ideas?

  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.

• Boot Camp - the virtual machine appears to be in use

  My Boot Camp partition works fine if I boot in there directly, but I'm unable to start melting.

  When I try to open the virtual machine, I get a message that says "VMWare prepares your Boot Camp partition to present itself as a machine virtual." which is interrupted by the message, "the virtual machine seems to be running" I click OK and I'm back where I started.

  Any advice?

  First of all, I reboot the Boot Camp partition natively and run CHKDSK /F at a prompt of commands and then reboot and let is scan and after returning to the closing of the Windows desktop, not restart.  Start up the Mac and start directly in OS X and then delete "/Users/$ the specified item was not found./Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines" folder in order to get rid of the Helper and Boot Camp files at this location then run the merge again and try to run the virtual partition Boot Camp Machine.

• Boot Camp is no longer showing as bootable disk but still readable

  Hello

  I recently tried to increase the size of my boot camp partition and I partitioned my internal drive to create a space to be able to use this free space to extend the windows partition in to. However, after you have created this space empty on my drive, the bootcamp windows no longer displays when I hold 'alt' on power. Finder can still read the bootcamp drive and all files seem to always be there. I'm really confused and any help would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want to uninstall boot camp and reinstall again that it would cause a problem for some software licenses.

  Thanks in advance!
