• Need help to install Windows 8.1 on the partition, bootcamp on Macbook Pro 15 "mid-2010 w / no optical drive"

  I tried for almost a week in all possible ways to get windows installed on a boot camp partition on my main SSD 1 TB drive as a partition, or on my HARD drive, which is installed in place of the optical drive.  So far, everything I tried to give me some sort of error at some point in the process.  It seems that many of them are case by case, so I thought that I invite you all and see if you can help!

  I use a Macbook Pro 15 "mid-2010 that I improved with a 1 TB SSD drive as the startup disk.  My optical drive was not functional, so I moved my old 500 GB HARD drive to the location of the optical Bay.  I am also under the latest version of El Capitan (10.11.6)
  Here are my system specs:

  
  Presentation of the material:

  Model name: MacBook Pro

  Model identifier: MacBookPro6, 2

  Processor name: Intel Core i7

  Processor speed: 2.8 GHz

  Number of processors: 1

  Total number of cores: 2

  (By heart) L2 Cache: 256 KB

  L3 Cache: 4 MB

  Memory: 8 GB

  Processor speed of interconnection: 4.8 GT/s

  Boot ROM version: MBP61.0057.B11

  Version of the SCM (System): 1.58f17

  What I tried (from what I remember):

  I tried to change the Bootcamp info.plist file for my version of the macbook pro to use a USB stick for the installer.  It seems to have installed correctly but once I partition the disk and restart the computer, it gets stuck on a white screen with the Apple logo and I am forced to make a hard stop and then hold down option to boot into OS X, recovery, or the EFI Boot.

  If I go through the windows installation to start the EFI system, I get an error of:
  "Windows cannot be installed to this disk.  The selected disk is a MBR partition table.  On EFI systems, Windows cannot be installed on GPT disks. »

  I also tried to create a partition by using disk utility, and that too made me an error in the installation of windows.

  So far, the only way that I'm away from windows to run at all has been using the free trial of VMware Fusion 8... but I intend to use windows for more intensive tasks like audio pro, and merger simply does not offer the performance necessary to run these programs.  I'm hoping to install windows 8.1 on my internal SSD or HARD drive, regardless of the work - as long as OS X and files associated with it are left alone.

  If someone could help me please understand this point, I would really appreciate it!

  Thank you

  If your computer has an optical drive, you must use the optical drive to install Windows using Boot Camp Assistant.

• Error: "could not create a new partition or locate a" when installing Windows via Boot Camp 10

  This error occurs on my 2012 15-inch MacBook Pro. I have 2 hard drives. One dedicated to OSX and one for Windows. This is my first install bootcamp. I let bootcamp create partitions, but to the partition/disk screen hard to choose, I get a message saying: "we could not create a new partition or locate a.. The partition has been formatted to NTFS. I tried later in this guide community post here: error: "we could not create a new partition or locate and existing" install Windows via Bootcamp 8.1, but no luck. I even tried to delete the partitions and create a partition empty for windows so it can create and format on its own and start using EFI. At this point, windows begins to install it and restart, but it fails during the part material recording and restarts. Then when it starts again I get a message that the installation has failed.

  Here's some output terminal which can help you to (I) hope.

  You must disconnect the internal bus 500 GB SATA drive and use a flashdrive USB2 for OS X from startup. The 320 GB designated drive must be in the main Bay of the Mac. Once Windows is installed, reconnect your 500 GB drive in the Optibay (if you this road main Bay) will be Windows blue screen in most cases.

• Bootcamp has not finished - how can I continue installing windows on the new partition?

  Hi thanks for reading me.

  I started the bootcamp, it created the partition and install windows started 8.1.

  He asked for the location of the reader, so I chose my USB hard disk (read here which was possible) - SSD space is such a premium.

  I was told that the format of the disc is not FAT GUD, so I gave up installing.

  I used the disk utility to reformat the external hard drive.

  How can I get the windows partition now rerun the installation process?

  I tried the OPTION start upward, but the new partition does not show yet.

• HP 15 - r014TX: GFT Drive Partition problem when installing Windows 7 on my HP 15 - r014TX

  Hello
  I have a new HP laptop that had windows OS 8.1. OS has been corrupted and now when I try to install Windows 7 on the same I get this error: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style. »
  So, I saw a few videos of the solution on youtube and found that I need to convert MBR mode and for that I need to clean the drive and re partition which will result in the loss of data. As I don't have a BONE in my laptop that I can't even get back to the top of my data.
  Some can give me alternatives by which I can back up my data or install windows without losing my data.
  I tried the option "Repair Windows" so while installing windows7, but even that does not work as the OS recovery file is missing.
  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Hello

  Just to make sure, when starting in legacy mode, you'll normally see two optical drive options:

  CDROM

  and

  CDROM (uefi)

  You see two options, and if so, you select the CDROM (uefi)?

  Otherwise, an option would be to remove the drive HARD, place it in an external enclosure - is an example of the link below - connect to another PC and see if you can access your files.

  External 2.5 HARD drive caddy ".

• Cannot install windows after reset of the partition

  I've literally been sitting to my macbook for the last 10 hours trying to get my bootcamp at work, however after tons of things difficult and research I found online I'm always at a loss. Initially, I had installed windows 7 a few weeks ago for the second time (after that yosemite deleted my previous one during the upgrade) and everything was fine. Then, I took the decision to uninstall my windows because I really wanted to expand the size of my partition, then backed up all my files and used bootcamp to delete windows and re partitioning my hard drive to a single volume. However after this, and then following the same exact steps as before (running bootcamp and sharing in a larger space) once the restarts my laptop that it comes up with the message "No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key" instead start windows automatically load (as it did before). I've repeated several times in the hope that it would work once however I can't help but feel that there is a problem with my hard drive and when I try to check my hard drive (not the 'Macintosh HD' a top one) sometimes - (I say sometimes because it does not say this error when you try to check) said this :

  Audit score card for "APPLE HDD HTS547 * A9E384 Media.

  Checking prerequisites

  Checking the list of partition

  Checking the size of the EFI system partition

  The EFI system partition file system check

  Check the contents of the folder on the EFI system partition

  Problems were found with the partition plan that may prevent startup

  Error: A disk with a mount point is required.

  and yet when I performed the same task again 2 minutes later he says:

  I'm really not good when it comes to such things, so this information can be totally irrelevant, sorry! I had originally check my volumes a recovery when yosemite initially deleted to repartition my hard drive and reinstall windows. I really don't know what to do, any help would be appreciated. I have no knowledge in this subject what so ever but I feel that my hard drive is damaged somewhere (even if yosemite still works perfectly and all my files appear to be intact) or for some reason my boot loaders do not work...

  I can provide more information if necessary, but quite frankly, I have no idea what I'm doing.

  Thank you for taking the time to read this if you have!

  1. do you use a USB key to install Windows?

  2 can you post the output of the following OSX Terminal commands?

  diskutil list

  Cs diskutil list

  sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk0

  sudo fdisk/dev/disk0

  The "sudo" commands will prompt to enter your password, and there do not appear to come back. You can also see caution against improper use 'sudo' and the potential loss of data due to an "abuse" of the order.

• Partitioning of the problems when installing Windows 7

  I have a HP Compaq CQ58 supplied with Windows 8. I switched to Ubuntu and I'm doing a clean install of Windows 7. Installation came at a prompt asking "Where do you want to install Windows?" and I have three partitions:

  Disk 0 Partition 1 - 94.0 MB system
  Disk 0 Partition 2-296, 4 GB primary
  Disk 0 Partition 3-1, 6 GB primary

  When you select one of them, I get "Windows cannot be installed to Partiion Dis 0 x." On the 1 (System) partition, the details are:

  Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style.

  Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. The partition is a partition of EFI (ESP) system.

  On Partition 2 (primary), the details just say:

  Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style.

  And on the Partition (primary) 3, tell the details:

  Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style.

  Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. Windows must be installed on a partition formatted in NTFS.

  Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. The partition is of an unknown type.

  Well, I had nothing in particular requiring a backup (it is a computer of leisure, all of our important data are on other devices), then I hit the "Format" button on all three in turn try to get the installation to run on one of them. If any OS at this point is completely erased. I need to know, now, what to do. I'm not comfortable with my computer knowledge to go and delete partitions without professional opinion. I'm not used to have more than one partition and wouldn't mind consolidating unless HP has good reasons to keep them separate.

  Hello

  There is no reason to keep these partitions and you can remove them using the disk management on the following installation disc.

  Left click a partition for highlight.

  Click the blue link "drive Options (Advanced).

  Select the option 'delete '.

  Repeat this step for each partition listed.

  Once completed, you should see only 1 entry showing that "the unallocated space on disk 0.

  Click on the button 'Next' operation of installation of Windows 7.

  Be aware that Windows 7 will also create a "System" of about 100 MB hidden partition that contains the files and start the recovery environment.

  Hello

  For any problem with the help of the recovery Partition that has been copied to the hard disk by the computer manufacturer, you must contact them.

  This recovery process is the manufacturer, not Microsoft.

  ________________________________________________

  You never told us why you wanted to do a restore. If you had serious errors and the recovery process does not work, you will have hardware problems. BUT we're only guessing at this stage due to lack of information to help you.

  See you soon.
