• Machine virtual Boot Camp

  Because the Apple ATI bug paralyzed my ability to use windows in VMWare Fusion, I would use Boot Camp until the bug fix is out.  Is it possible to transfer my current virtual machine to boot camp and turn it back on when I have never used boot camp before?  Thank you.

• A Boot Camp Partition, two Machines virtual VMware Fusion

  After the installation of the Boot Drive Partition *, I see now two versions of the Virtual Machine Boot Camp. Is this normal? Can I delete one with no impact on my Boot Camp? Should I remove VMware Fusion altogether and reinstall so that I can have a clean virtual machine only the partition boot camp?

  *It is on a separate post, but can be linked... Initially, I installed VMware Fusion, without first running training Camp and installed a Microsoft XP operating system on it. It stopped working and I had a lot of problems with Windows that I decided to do a new installation, but this time using Boot Camp. I can see two VMS, (actually 3*), but I want to remove the first virtual machine without Boot Camp. I tried the virtual machine under users/Documents/Virtual Machines, but the directory is empty. I deleted the directory, just in case. When I returned to VMware Fusion, it can still start the virtual machine. I looked through the finder and can't find it. If not, how can I remove this virtual computer and free up space for the Mac?  (No need to answer this question if it is not related to the top)

  Take a look at: duplicate entries on the Virtual Machine Library dialog box

• Merge cannot make Boot Camp virtual machine: perhaps too many places of the VM?

  I get the error message, well known in the VM library window "Bundle" & lt; pathname & gt; "" / Boot Camp/%2Fdev%2Fdisk0/Boot partition.vmware.vm Camp "is damaged and cannot be opened."   However, my problem is not solved by the solutions proposed elsewhere in this forum.

  At the bottom of this post, I listed my host config and invited desired config.

  Here is a brief history, followed by what happened when I tried the solution of WoodyZ published here.

  • I had Windows XP Pro SP2 on my Boot Camp partition, but somehow ended up 'inaccessible' SigmaTel audio device and the Leopard installation DVD could not repair it.  I imported this partition to Boot Camp in the Fusion as a virtual machine.  This virtual machine is now stored on the external hard drive in "/ Volumes/ExternHFS/_CCCnonBackup/virtualMachines/Boot partition.vmwarevm"+ Camp.»  This virtual machine still works when loading in the merger, but the sound does not work, nor made a called M-audio Transit USB connector.  That's why I decided to create a new partition in Boot Camp with a SigmaTel audio device cool.

  • There are Kubuntu and NetBSD virtual computers stored in another default folder: yangguizi/Users / / Documents/Virtual Machines /

  • Using wizard Boot Camp in Leopard, I erased my Boot Camp partition and then recreated with a new installation of Windows XP Pro SP2.  (By the way, I've formatted this partition in NTFS.)  This Boot Camp partition is the device of SigmaTel installed and accessible from the control panel.

  So I wanted to make a virtual machine of the new Boot Camp partition.  When I opened the merger, I highlighted the new Boot Camp partition down and clicked on the arrow of comments are starting to the right.  A window saying "Vmware Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition to run as a virtual machine.  This may take a few minutes.  This will be possible once. "That window remained open for 45 minutes.  Finally, I closed merge by clicking the choice of menu to quit Vmware Fusion.

  Thereafter, whenever I opened the merger, I saw the message "Bundle" / Users/yangguizi/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Machines virtuelles/Camp/%2Fdev%2Fdisk0/Boot Boot Camp partition.vmware.vm "is damaged and cannot be opened.' " next to the new Boot Camp partition.

  When I highlighted this new Boot Camp partition in the VM library and you press the delete key, absolutely nothing changed, that I could see.  Right click on the list of this score showed that the menu choice 'delete' is gray.

  Then I closed the merger, and then manually moving the file to the trash "/ Users/yangguizi/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines / Boot Camp / '.

  The next time I opened the merger, a new icon for the Boot Camp partition has been displayed at the bottom, with the subtitle "Powered Off".  When I clicked on the icon start Guest, a new folder/Boot Camp / was created in the same place, and the never-ending open window showing "Vmware Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition to run as a virtual machine.  This may take a few minutes.  This will be possible once. " Blah, blah, blah.  If the cycle turned up.

  I am at a loss what to try next.  Here are three assumptions about the problem:

  1. Fusion has been confused by the three communities during which I virtual machines.

• Fusion has been confused by the fact that I have, potentially, two virtual machines called "Boot Camp partition".  The older is actually a virtual machine hard disk external.

• When I installed XP in the Boot Camp partition, the external Firewire drive was running. Then installing Windows saw much more of partitions on which XP could in theory have been installed.  This may have confused merge somehow, even if I successfully installed XP on partition C, which was 32 GB.

Did fix you this problem?  Even if you haven't, what do you suggest me I try next?

Thank you, Yang Guizi

  I have an iMac, retina 5K, 27 - in, end of 2014. It allows to launch the Boot Camp with Windows 8.1, which I put in place about 1 year ago. It worked very well. But then, I decided to try to upgrade to Windows 10 about 3 weeks, which is not well. Decided to erase the partition via the wizard Boot Camp and re - install from scratch.

  Now, I can not install Windows at all. I've tried everything. Using another ISO downloaded from the Windows website. Check disks using first aid. Last night I even totally erased the readers (via the terminal in recovery mode, with the help of the man of CS) and made a "Reinstall internet" of the operating system and then tried in boot camp. Without success.

  I tried to call Microsoft too, but their position on the whole thing is "this is on a Mac, this is the problem to Apple. Bye. »

• 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.

• 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.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  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.

• 10 Windows run with boot camp to an external hard drive

  Hello

  I have a MBP 13 "2015 i5 8 GB of Ram and 128 GB of storage, and I want to run windows 10 (for games) with boot camp (so if I'm right, OS X is off and Windows is on). I have parallels desktop and I can run windows 10 (located hard ext on my drive) but it is impossible to play with a virtual machine. So, I wonder if I can start and run windows 10 of my drive hard ext? I have only 128GB one my Mac using windows and OS X on it is impossible. Thanks for your help! (just to be clear: If you the solution works, if I disconnect my HDD ext all windows will be bug (or something like that)).

  -Parallels Desktop (PD) is an application that manages a VirtualMachine (VM): this is a large file. PD can run at the same time as the OSX.

  -Bootcamp is another partition on your hard drive where your Windows is running: it may not work with OSX, you start on the Windows partition or in the partition oSX; you do this partition and install Windows in there with the BootcampAssistant application. The BootcampAssitant can't do a Bootcamp Partition on an external drive as far as I know.

• 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.

• Cannot install Windows 10 OSX Boot Camp 10.11.8

  I wonder if a solution was developed for the installation of 10 64-bit Windows in Boot Camp again.  I have a hard drive 3 TB of fusion that I partitioned (1 TB for Windows 10) via Boot Camp.   When I start the computer in Windows install (on thumb drive) and choose the partition to install Windows 10 in, I get a message that the partition is formatted in GPT not NTFS.  I click on the format button, but it loop back to that error message about TPG.

  I get no further than that.

  I left and I restarted the mac OSX, entered the windows to manually thinking NTFS partition partitioning regular and formatted program that it would solve the problem.

  When I rebooted on the thumb drive and restarted the Windows installation, I got the same error (INCORRECT FORMAT).

  I read about the solutions of terminal mode using Linux command, but hey, Boot Camp should take care of this without all this extra work that could potentially break the fuser unit I am correct?

  Or is this a Microsoft problem because the format function does not work in the Windows Installer?

  If anyone can help us with that, I would be greatly appreciated.

  See you soon.
