• Microsoft and Boot Camp partition

  Hey everybody! Yesterday I tried to install Windows on my MacBook Air 128 GB (latest edition) using Boot Camp. Boot Camp worked well, until in the middle to partition hard drive when the computer turns off. When I started the computer once again there was no sign of Windows anywhere. However, when I looked in my computer storage I have only 77GB available (the amount I selected for the mac OS during the partitioning, the rest of the space was for Windows). Online, I read that it's very easy to delete the partition, and that all you had to do was run Boot Camp again and restore the hard drive. However, when I try this I get the message that I must have at least 50 GB of free space available. I easily have enough space available when you include section partition that I can't access, but I don't have 50GB of space on the side of Mac partition. Does anyone have advice on how I should fix this problem? Is the only way I can to delete things as much as possible out of storage on Mac? I already tried this and remove as much as possible get to 50 GB of free space, including the section 'other '. What is the only way to proceed? If someone has any advice on how to remove unwanted useless in the section "others"? Thank you so much in advance!

• URGENT: T420s BIOS v1.29 and PGP Whole Disk Encryption

  ATTENTION!

  I have several portable T420s (4174-2AU). I recently upgraded to 2 of these phones to the latest version of the BIOS (v1.29). These two laptops were more able to access the encrypted drive.

  -----------------------------------------------------------

  BootGuard stage2...

  PGPWDE disk data is corrupt...

  My company does not recovery discs, for what reason I don't know. All I know is that I had to reimage the readers. I have tried to quantify again and restarted and received the same error again. So I reconfigured again and has not encrypt the drive. Others say it has to do with the PGP and the Sandy Bridge architecture, but I disagree. I could populate the BIOS with Lenovo's FLASH tools. I descended to v1.25 (download) and THEN encrypted the drive again. After the reboot, there is no problem.

  I hope that no one else has this problem. If you do, here is your solution.

• The Boot Camp Partitions drive and abandon

  I am running OS X El Capitan, Version 10.11.5 early 2016, 12 inches and I am trying to load Windows 8.1 Pro using Boot Camp.  (ignore what is in the product box)

  Boot Camp successfully created a program loading of Windows, including the Apple drivers on my USB.

  I was able to successfully partition my HDD 256GB.  50 GB for Boot Camp and ~ 200 GB for my OS X.

  After the partition, the Boot Camp program is finished and I have a screen with my Mac OS disc and my Boot Camp disk.   My Boot Camp drive is completely empty.

  When I restart the Boot Camp, I gives me the possibility to remove the disc from Boot Camp.

  How can I load Windows 8.1 on my Boot Camp drive?   Should I delete the disk Windows/Boot Camp Partition and start again?

  Macs 2015 and more late do not use a USB Installer. Disconnect the external storage, launch BCA, delete the current Windows partition and start all over again. You must put the ISO of Windows in your Documents folder and it must be dismantled.

• Can I install the same Windows 7 as a Boot Camp partition AND a VM regular partion?

  I've been running Windows 7 regular valuation as a VM partion.  Now that it is officially released, I bought a copy and I upgraded my Vista to Windows 7 partition and then I start under Boot Camp or Fusion 3 lets start the boot camp partition.  Starting time on a partition Boot Camp is a bit longer than on a normal partition of VM, so I find myself most of the time with the assessment of partition of the VM, but in June, it will go away.  Could I take the installation disk that I used for the Boot Camp and install it also as a regular virtual machine, or which will cause insurmountable problems for activation?  I hate to have to buy another copy of Windows 7 just to get a faster speed when I don't want to use the complete as machine when I boot Boot Camp.  Sometimes, I have to give Windows the power of the machine, so don't want to only install as a virtual machine.

  Ask yourself if someone illegally active copy of Windows?  This would be a pretty Brave soul to admit illegal activities.  :-\

  You only have one license for Windows if you are only allowed to have a single installation to be activated at any time.  Activate a second time to remove any other installation that uses the same license (aka product key), by the Windows EULA.  Another thing is the violation of the EULA.

  The 'Microsoft police' will come knocking at your door?  Who knows.  Microsoft has billions of dollars and could very well decide to use some of those dollars to make an example of a person, like how the RIAA did to people he considers pirates.    It of ultimately your decision whether to violate the EULA or not.

• 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. Note: This does not affect the Boot Camp partition to install Windows. Also make sure that you copy the entire command below "rm" line at the beginning of the ' (quote) after the p in the Camp. "

  RM - dfr "/Users/$ the specified item was not found./Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines / Boot Camp."

  3. start Fusion (/ Applications/VMware Fusion) and select the Boot Camp partition on the library of the Virtual Machine window, and then click the run button.

  Notes: Then, an authentication dialog box appears. "VMware Fusion requires that you type your password." Enter your name and password, and then click OK. (It is necessary to remove the Boot Camp for the merge partition to access it directly).

  Then, we should see a Boot Camp partition message stating "VMware Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition to run as a virtual machine. This may take a few minutes. This occurs once. »

• Cannot open disk «...» Boot Camp partition.vmdk","could not lock file ".

  I upgraded to VMWare 2.0.1 of the trial version, but now when I try to run it with my Boot Camp Partition, I get:

  "Could not open the disk" / Users/deep / / Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp partition.vmwarevm/Boot Camp partition.vmdk Camp/%2Fdev%2Fdisk0/Boot' or one of the snapshot files depends on. "."

  Reason: cannot lock the file. »

  I would not be surprised if something was corrupt, because I migrated the entire Mac to a Mac whose hard drive was not.  I know that the Boot Camp partition works because when I start from it, all right. My guess is that the virtual Boot Camp makes machine refers to the broken old Partion Boot Camp on my old Mac.  How do I start again?  Just nuke the directory "/ Users/deep/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines / Boot Camp/%2Fdev%2Fdisk0" set?

  Thoughts?

  In short, you can crush the Boot Camp partition.vmwarevm in this directory.  It will be recreated the next time you run merge.

• 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.

• VMware Fusion 5 and Boot Camp 4

  Hello

  I experienced performance problems in programs related to the guest operating system (Windows 7) 3D in VMware Fusion 5 (inside OS X Lion mountain). I had to install Boot Camp 4 to do my job.

  Could you please tell me if I'll be able to use my material directly when I start my disk to Boot Camp with VMware Fusion?

  I would like to know if install VMware Tools don't mean anything?

  I still can use my Boot Camp separately from time to time (with complete equipment of available resources).

  I running everything maxed-out MacBook Pro with the Retina display.

  Thank you

  Could you please tell me if I'll be able to use my material directly when I start my disk to Boot Camp with VMware Fusion?

  Generally material only between a normal file based Virtual Machine and execution of the partition Boot Camp as a Virtual Machine's hard disk.  With a normal file base Virtual Machine to the default hard drive is virtual and with execution of the partition Boot Camp in a Virtual Machine uses the physical volume of the physical disk.  The rest is no interpreted differently, whatever issues you work around native-boot will always be a problem when the Virtual Machine running the partition Boot Camp in a VM as if it was a normal file-based.

  I would like to know if install VMware Tools don't mean anything?

  Usually without however you really have no choice but to install VMware Tools running the Boot Camp partition in a Virtual Machine or WPA/OPA will be an ongoing problem when switching back.  VMware Tools will manage the permutation of the WPA/OPA database between two environments after Windows and Microsoft Office (if installed) are enabled in each environment.

  I still want to be able to use my Boot Camp separately from time to time (with means complete material available).

  You will be able to do.

• -> Lion (Delete Boot Camp Partition) Snow Leopard?

  I am currently on an iMac under Snow Leopard 10.6.8 (2.4 Ghz C2D, 4 GB of RAM, with VMware 3.1.3). I have Windows XP as a Boot Camp partition, but recently, I've downloaded the tool VMware Converter from VMware and I am now running XP via a Vitural Machine (saved in the My Documents folder).

  I can't install Lion because it cannot create the recovery disk and there is an error with my scores (I don't remember the exact wording). I'm guessing that it's because of my Boot Camp partition that has XP installed on it, which is no longer compatible with Lion.

  My question is: since I converted the Boot Camp partition in a Virtual Machine, can I remove the Boot Camp partition and still be able to run XP?

  It's on my iMac at work, and I rely on XP for 75% of my work, so I make sure that I always have access to XP via the Virtual Machine.

  Thanks in advance!

  My question is: since I converted the Boot Camp partition in a Virtual Machine, can I remove the Boot Camp partition and still be able to run XP?

  The short answer is Yes.

  The longer answer is to make sure that you run only a normal file based Virtual Machine and a virtual Boot Camp Machine partition not before deleting.

  It's on my iMac at work, and I rely on XP for 75% of my work, so I make sure that I always have access to XP via the Virtual Machine.

  If there is a system of work, then you shouldn't be move to Lion still and wait for at least the first version of Lion and a version of VMware Fusion, which is officially certified to be fully compatible with Mac OS X Lion before the upgrade.

• How can I move XP on Boot Camp partition in a virtual machine on a new iMac?

  Yesterday, I bought a new iMac to replace an iMac Core Duo older. I was running XP on Boot Camp partition and using Fusion to access. As the new iMac custom supports XP on Boot Camp partition, I want to use VMWae Fusion to run XP in a virtual machine on the new computer. Is there a way to get the current state of XP (with all the security and the SP3 updates) now on my Boot Camp partition, more than one virtual machine on the new computer?

  No offense intended... Have you even read the linked web page and or documentation of Paragon go virtual?

  In short, could start the Boot Camp partition natively, install and run Paragon go virtual to create a Virtual Machine in VMware Boot Camp partition and run the resulting Virtual Machine with VMware Fusion on the new Mac.

  Then you can do what you want with the old computer after deleting the partition Boot Camp with Boot Camp Assistant as you can't keep physical installation on the old system if your running a virtual copy of it on another system without purchasing another license from Microsoft.  Also, you will need to reactivate Windows XP and other software that follows what material it was initially installed on the virtual machine.

  Note: You can even create a Virtual Machine from the Boot Camp partition with VMware Fusion in two different ways, or even to use VMware vCenter Converter such as the use of virtual Paragon to go however I strongly recommend using Paragon go virtual methods due to what I consider a major flaw in the way they create the virtual hard disk when you use the command import on the Boot Camp partition and a rate higher failure by using the other methods/software VMware VMware compared to Paragon go virtual.  For the non-technical user Paragon go virtual is the best way to go IMO and the entire process usually takes less time, then the methods of VMware.

• Changed the size of the Windows Boot Camp Partition - now merger does not

  My Windows partition was too large, so I used the scroll bar in Boot Camp to reduce its size.  Start directly on Windows (via system preferences) works very well.  However, I got an error message (I should have written it, but it didn't) when you try to start Windows using the merger.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the merger, but now when I start it up I got a message "no boot device found".  I would still be able to use the merger through the Boot Camp partition.  My thought is that the easiest way would be to completely remove Fusion, because the Boot Camp partition works fine on its own.  Apparently, the rest backout package still some files on the hard drive that caused the errors after reinstall.

  Any ideas on how to remove all traces of Fusion I can do a completely new reinstall?

  VMware Fusion of uninstalling/reinstalling will not solve this problem, and all you have to do is delete the partition Boot Camp package of Virtual Machine that is basically just meta-data and does not affect the physical Boot Camp partition by deleting.

  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.)

• Several Boot Camp Partitions appearing

  Hi, I have recently updated my Boot Camp drivers using the Snow Leopard disc. Everything works well in Boot Camp, but I noticed that when I run merge very often I receive duplicates of my Boot Camp partition inside my library of Virtual Machine. I delete the partitions 'extra' in the library of the VM, but they tend to come back. I do not use my Boot Camp partition in the merge but I want to make to the cause of the problem, ever, this happened with the former Boot Camp drivers supplied with Leopard and has started only after the upgrade. So if anyone has experienced this problem and is there any kind of fix?

  Thank you

  1 Apple does not guarantee the name of BSD to a drive between reboots.

  2 VMware unfortunately and inexcusable was unaware when they designed Fusion and as such when OS X assigns a name different from BSD on a disc, then it previously and when this disc has a partition Boot Camp that has already been established to run as a Virtual Machine, then two or more entries for the partition Boot Camp one can and will appear on the library Virtual Machine in all versions of GA merger to date.

  It is more common on a Mac Pro however I knew it with a MacBook Pro and especially when after attached external drives with a Boot Camp partition on them. On a Mac, which has a single hard drive and only one partition for OS X and a partition for Windows, it is less likely to occur compared to the Mac Pro, which often have more then an internal drive however I have experienced it on a MacBook Pro in by itself but it is more likely to occur when several hard disks are at stake.

• 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.

  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.

• Unit works only with the Boot Camp Partition

  Hi guys - I searched the forums for a while and pretty well I came across all positions said that if the unit does not have to uninstall/reinstall VMware Tools.  I tried twice but nothing helped. I am very new to the merger, but for now I'm very excited/impressed with the trial version - I just everything works fine!

  How to remove my bootcamp partition and strictly use VMware so that I can create snapshots and free up hard drive space?

  If you want you can import the Boot Camp partition as a Virtual Machine based on a separate stand alone file, or you can install Windows from scratch.  After you import if desired you choose and you don't want to use Boot Camp natively or as a training Camp for the virtual partition Machine (not that any) and want to recover the space that the Boot Camp partition is far from taking the Macintosh HD you can then use the Boot Camp Assistant (/ applications/utilities/Assistant Boot Camp) to remove the Boot Camp partition to reclaim that space.

  For the import of the Boot Camp partition as a Virtual Machine based on a stand-alone file, take a look at: VMware Fusion (menu bar) > help > VMware Fusion help > creating virtual machines > import Virtual Machines > import the Partition Boot Camp
