• 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. It also uses Winclone.

• My hard drive has been replaced. I want to restore a backup made on an external drive, using Windows backup software.

  I get to the step "to install the management of removable storage on Windows Server 2008

• How formatting a Mac OS external drive in windows 7

  Hi guys

  Got an external drive that is mac OS. Disk management sees in car with no details. All options, including the "Format", is grayed out except to 'Delete Volume '. Question: How can I format this drive in windows 7 Home premium. No access to a mac, PC, to get in shape first.

  If the TrekDozer solution does not work, you can try the diskpart.exe command-line utility.

  • In a command line window, type diskpart
  • List type
  • Find the desired disc, and then type select disk 0 (or whatever number it is, but make sure that you get it right!)
  • Format type

  At this point, you can create a partition with diskpart, or use the disk management GUI.

• Database and forms in different drives under Windows

  Hi all. I installed the database in my drive E:\ and my forms in C:\ drive in windows. If I put my ORACLE_HOME parameter to the path of the database and then my form builder does not work. If I have the same point to the location of Middleware, then I have a problem with the connection to the database. Please suggest what can be done.

  When you run anything with Oracle Forms in your Windows environment, I would have your ORACLE_HOME defined in the environment of forms. As Oracle Forms comes with SQL * Plus, all you need to do to connect to your database is to configure tnsnames.ora (located at %ORACLE_INSTANCE%\config 11g-shaped) to make your connection to your database details. Once this is done, you should be able to establish connections to your database.

  The steps are the same, if your database is installed on the same drive as the forms or if the database is on a remote server.

  NOTE: If you run any utility database other than sqlplus to prompt (emctl for example), you may need to set the ORACLE_HOME variable in the command prompt window to do. This will only put to the session command prompt that you are running.

  Thank you

• Backup restore & one particular driver under Windows 7

  My friend uses the TAG Bluetooth Dongle. He got all the drivers from Windows Update and everything worked fine, when he used it in early 2011. After a long time he used it recently. Now Microsoft has deleted from servers and now it says no driver found for a specific device to Bluetooth device. We have searched the manufacturer site but got only the drivers Bluesoliel. After installation, it did not open (which was a cracked s/w). The specific driver is not available when searched. Even if it is available, it cannot be downloaded. So, by using a software scan driver, he had the driver for it and work very well.

  Here are the details:
  In the Device Manager, in hidden devices, under "Bluetooth Virtual Device--> Bluetooth video Service sink.

  The details of the driver:
  Driver provider: Atheros Communications
  The driver date: 06/03/2012
  Driver version: 7.4.0.126
  Digital signer: Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher
  Material ID: BTHENUM\ {00001304-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb} _LOCALMFG & 000D

  But when searched online, there are different version available. v7.4.0.122, v8.0.0000.0204 etc. But the version above solved my problem. But he wanted a backup copy of the driver. Please give me download link(direct/alternate) for the v7.4.0.126.

  If there is no download link available, just tell me the way to save the driver given as extractable file that can be rendered only by double-clicking (similar to the import and export of registry as a .reg file)

  If a driver is needed for specific hardware, it will be available on this site of hw manufacturers, you simply download and save the driver installation pkge, then use and copy on an external support.

  There is no native method to save a driver that has been installed for later use.

• Impossible to install NI-VISA Driver under Windows 7

  Hi all

  Software isn't exactly my strength, so I apologize if this question is badly phrased or trivial.

  I am trying to use NI-VISA 4.6 to create a driver for a USB mouse.  My ultimate goal is to read the RAW files positional USB rather than read the position of the mouse on the screen.  This way, I will be able to use the mouse to measure distance without having to worry about the cursor passes at the edge of the screen.  My VI will work pretty much along the lines of this one, which was kindly donated by Intaris on this thread.

  I'm running in the driver installation problems, that I created with most of the time described NI-VISA here.  I created the driver .inf and copied in C:\Windows\inf.  Since I am on Windows 7, I copied the Vista driver rather than the driver for earlier versions of windows (another user on the tutorial I linked above says it worked).  I chose my .inf file and clicked "install" from the menu drop-down of the right button of the mouse.  I received a message the first error while I tried saying that the driver was not checked and proceed in any case.  No .pnf file was created in the inf folder (as I believe she should have).  I tried updating the driver for this particular mouse for the new driver, I created in the Device Manager.  Windows has resisted, saying that it had already installed the best driver to work.

  So now I know exactly what to do.  I think that other people have figured out how to make it work, but I am helpless as to what I can do differently.  Is - anyone out there know what could be wrong?  Is there must be a .pnf file in order to get the driver to work?

  Thank you

  Thanks for the help everyone.  I think I finally found the solution .

  I did a lot of trial and error with Windows and finally I got a driver that I created in NI VISA is accepted.  Since it has been hacked together, I have a problem determining the stages that I have to work.  I'm not sure that this list of steps is quite necessary or complete, but in the interest of helping people with a similar problem, I'll try to explain what I did to get the mouse to be read.

  The key was probably uninstall the mouse that I wanted to use for the project.  I did this in Device Manager and then found the USB root hub that was running my camera.  I have updated the driver through here rather than through the section 'mouse '.  Information on the procedure to be followed are explained in detail in these two knowledge base articles:

  http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/28C5E7D2E9FBB4CC86257536005A3692

  http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/3C335141B64C038886257141000036F2?OpenDocument

  I created the NI-VISA drivers and saved in the default folder (under my documents / National Instruments/NI-VISA) and they installed from there.  I don't know if the installation step was necessary.  Then I updated the drivers as explained in the second article knowledge base related to listed.

  I think that the crucial stage is uninstalling the mouse in Device Manager.  This could be the "firmware" mentioned in the article by following the link, but the formulation knowledge base is so ambiguous that I thought I have to uninstall the drivers.
