Impossible to install 10 Windows via BootCamp on iMac 5K with Fusion Drive

Hello

I tried to install Windows 10 Professional via Boot Camp on my iMac 5K end of 2015 (version OS X 10.11) with a disc of the Fusion 2 to for about a week now. Right now I'm on my 4th or 5th try on Windows 10 installation on the iMac because each installation fails gives me an error that the drive is not formatted correctly or he couldn't find the score even though I have the selected in the list of available drives. I even went up to both to run the commands of the PART of the DISK from the command prompt in the area of troubleshooting Installer Windows 10 to format drive to NTFS instead of FAT32.

Here are some of the mistakes that I received:

1 Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. This space of hard disk is formatted with a version not support the NTFS file system.

2. we could not create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup logs files.

I used the Boot Camp configuration application (version 6.0.1) to create a USB key after you download the image ISO from Microsoft. The USB flash drive that creates the installer will start the iMac, but I can't get past the screen "where do you want to install Windows? I tried the merge disk partitioning ways without success, beforehand, because I thought that it could cause a problem. He was left as a full drive 2 TB, or divide the flash part away and seen the almost 2 to rotation and the merger of 128 GB (flash) portion and lucky either.

I'm full of ideas on what to try... I have loaded Windows 7 Professional via Boot Camp several times and have never encountered a problem with Boot Camp with 10 Windows so far.

Workaround I found that worked for me was to install

Win7 Pro 64 bit.  Then created just the Bootcamp driver USB key

(no operating system installer).  Next I went to do the upgrade of Win10 of

in the environment of Win7.  FWIW, I also chose to not save

anything (new installation).

You will need to keep the installation to make sure that you press the Option

key with multiple reboots (why Windows still insists on this)

and select the Windows volume to boot from.  Once all the nonsense restarts

were carried out and finally Windows was running, I plugged it in training camp

driver USB key, install hardware drivers and everything was good to go.

Now, it was on an old MacBook Pro, which does not officially have the Bootcamp

support for WIn10 if the material is quite capable.

    Hello! I just tried to install Windows 10 on my Macbook with a 32 GB USB using Bootcamp. Everything was fine until I came to the part where I have to choose the partition where I want to install my Windows 10 and of course I chose the Bootcamp partition, but in fact I couldn't click on 'next' (I was so stupid and don't format it).
    So I just format the Bootcamp partition and when I tried to click 'next' he just told me 'we could not create a new partition or locate an existing one. I went through google and searched all regarding this problem and there are a lot of guys having almost the same or exactly the same 'error' when trying to install 10 Windows on the Bootcamp partition, but nothing has really helped me. I deleted everything except my USB key and someone told me that I should only have 4 partitions or less.
    He shows me the 4 partition but there are two partitions (3) and two partition (1).
    Is this a problem?

  • can not start after the installation of 10 Windows via bootcamp OSX

    Hello, I need help.

    I tried to install 10 Windows via bootcamp, and I did it successfully with no problems. However, after the installation, I restarted my computer, hold down the option key and tried to boot into OS X, but it won't work. It would be a symbol that boot lead me to windows 10!

    all solutions? I do not have a backup of my files under OSX, I lose my files?

    NOTE: when I formatted the partition for windows, he said not bootcamp next to him, but it is clear that the partition that I had to format, it is the same size that I decided to make Windows when I was in bootcamp in OSX + it was empty at 100%.

    UPDATE 1: so I managed to get into the recovery of the internet and deleted the partition that had the windows and install OSX Marverix instead (temporarily) also, I fixed the hard drive MACINTOSH HD, but now I can't boot it at all when I press the option button during the priming of the mac. all solutions?

    + * You receive a "error 1603: a fatal error occurred during installation" error message when you try to install a Windows Installer package * +.

  • Confused about the use of Fusion and boot directly to Windows via Bootcamp?  I thought that my installs would be synchronized?

    Recently, I installed Win 7 64 Ultimate using Bootcamp on my iMac 27 inches in 2010. It wasn't a problem. I then install Fusion 3.1 and import my install of Win 7 Bootcamp. Everything went well. I am using version VM to work related things which requires Windows and did not start directly into Windows for the first time, I installed and applied all the updates.

    Anyway, today I wanted to start Windows to the demo of a game. No much, that the installation of Windows seems work fine. But, I expected to see all applications and files installed there is just the way I did in the virtual machine. I thought they were basically the same facility and would be fully synchronized, but they are not.

    I'm doing something wrong or is it the way it is supposed to work?

    Is it possible to make two "versions" be the same whether in the machine virtual or kick directly?

    Because you 'imported' you see the expected behavior because an import is completely separate and apart and not linked to the original.

    On the other hand had you just clicked the button Start Up on Boot Camp entry into the library Virtual Machine, then you'd be using native installation as a VM.  However, a word of warning is in order that WPA (Windows Product Activation) can be problematic, Microsoft may require you to have two separate licenses and this is beyond the control of VMware when VMware Tools fails to control who after he activated in each environment.

  • Instalation clean windows 7 Wireless does not work with

    So, I have a HP Pavilion dm4 1165 c: windows 7 64 bit.  Recently, the hard drive is dead, I have had to replace it and chose to make a simple installation of windows 7, without hp recovery disks.  (Discussed here).

    Since then, I was not able to turn on the wireless.

    I downloaded and installed all thedrivers herehp offers.  I have all the tools wireless management, I think miss me just the driver that allows me to talk to the wireless adapter / transmitter?  Convenience stores tell me the ability switch hardware or wireless is turned off.  This machine is not an external switch - you tilt it wireless power via the keyboard (fn + f12) on and off.  However, control of the keyboard does not respond when you press on (all the other fn + f keys respond, sound, luminosity, etc. work however).

    Any advice?

    Solved by poking around in absolutely all of the options that I could find.

    Appently there a switch I had to throw under the hp connection manager disabled all forms of wireless communication.  I missed this because I have never once used this utility on this machine before.  Seriously, it's like 3 other wireless managers (windows, intel and wimax, I believe).

    Thanks for all the assistance, Paul.  You've been a great help.  Fortunately, here what I have to do is to reinstall programs and transfer my data, which is straitforard.

    This is normal and expected behavior. Your 2011 Mac does not support the USB Windows installation. You must use a physical DVD burned ISO. Your Mac does not officially support Windows 10. The ISO files are available at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/home .

    Documentation on Apple's site shows not all models. Please visit https://help.apple.com/bootcamp/mac/5.0/help/ for an older version (FC5).

  • How can I reduce the size that Mac OSX needs during the transition to Windows via bootcamp?

    Hello

    I hope you guys can help out me. I am trying to install a copy of Windows on a 13 inch MacBook Pro retina (mid-2015, 256 GB SSD hard drive) through bootcamp. One of the first steps is to partition the SSD drive. When I try this the Mac partition cannot be resized below 70 GB, which leaves only 180 GB available for Windows to use.

    I would like to remove OSX completely, or make a small as possible. How do I get there?

    Kind regards

    Daniel

    Back up your current installation of OSX, install OSX on an external drive, preferably a USB Flash drive and then boot from it and run BCA, wipe you the drive internal and use it entirely for Windows. Once Windows is completely installed, you can disconnect the USB, or install OSX on an external HDD/SSD.
