Problems installing XP Pro (SP2) on Boot Camp Assistant

• The Boot Camp Assistant problems

  I'm trying to install 10 Windows on my MacBook Pro 13.3 2015 "running Mac OS X El Capitan (10.11.2) but I can't not (for software that is not supported by Mac OS X). I tried several times but it still says that my disk space is not enough (don't remember the exact words in the error message). I then opened the Boot Camp Assistant in the terminal and saw that it only recognizes that the reader would have 4 GB of free space available (I have a 500 GB SSD and 130 GB is used) but some insane amount about 140000000000000 GB has been used (what?). When I check in disk utility, I get also some suspicions that Boot Camp Assistant selects the Macintosh HD partition, instead the real player. In the Boot Camp Assistant, I can choose the size of the partition (I want let 370 GB for OS X in the Macintosh HD partition and get 128 GB for Boot Camp / partition Windows 10). I can't get this to work and I am grateful for any help!

  Windows Installer can generate false messages on a disk space. Do you have any connected external storage when you try to install Windows?

• El Capitan and Windows 10 Boot Camp Assistant

  Hi, this is my first post so apologies if I've left out anything important. Let me know and I'll add the necessary details.

  Fast, I have been using Windows for years and I wanted to get into Apple and finally last month made the leap. I have a brand new MacBook Pro with 16 GB of RAM El Capitan - 10.11.4 running. However, I am having a lot of problems with the creation and installation of 10 Windows using Boot Camp.

  I had this work with Windows 10 times but made some fundamental mistakes. I resized the partition windows using a windows product so that I could add another partition. This seemed to work and I used it for a short time BUT when I tried to boot into El Capitan would not and that it would only boot Windows. After reading on what I see now that resize the windows from windows under Boot Camp partition is a no-no. lesson learned!

  To actually do things once again, I removed the windows partitions using disk utility. (Again I see now that it is an another no-no that I'd
  used Boot Camp Assistant to remove Windows!) Eventually however, I managed to get to El Capitan, working on the single partition, it is now again works fine and as far as I can tell without any problem.

  After having to go that if I went back to load 10 Windows using Boot Camp. All works until the final start in the section windows it:

  • Creates the separate windows partition
  • Load the ISO file
  • The Windows Support Tools downloads
  • Runs the ISO file and everything looks good... see below: (apologies for the poor quality of the screenshots)

  

  Then, during 'Finish Up', I get an error window:

  

  "Windows has no prepare the computer to start the next phase of the installation." To install Windows restart installation. »

  I tried many things such as to download the Windows ISO file again, running SNC and LANDAU after removing the Windows partition using Boot Camp Assistant and ensure that all other connections to the MBP is deleted except WiFi and get always the same message. As the whole process takes a few hours and tried to work through this for some days now, I would really appreciate some advice/help here for this issue very frustrating sorted.

  Thanks in advance

• Boot Camp Assistant does not start the installer

  Hi all -

  I'm trying to install Windows 8.1 or 10 Pro on my mid 2015 Macbook Pro. I made this countless times on before Mac computers, including my 2013 previous Macbook Pro without problem. However this laptop seems to have problems during the process. Or I do something wrong and don't understand how it works now.

  I started Boot Camp Assistant, walking through the steps, divide the disk, etc. He began the restart process, then it restarted,... then I was back to my Mac. There was no indication that he was still something, but I let it sit for a few minutes. When I was confident it would do nothing, I decided to restart and hold down the 'Option' key on startup to select the Windows disk...

  OK just thought of this, but I will continue to write this question: Boot Camp Assistant request now an ISO standard. I still remember having to do this from a USB or CD player. I hold down the 'Option' and select the DRIVE or a CD drive but since I do not have either, I can't select it. I thought it was a problem in which nothing appeared on the screen except Macintosh HD.

  So I guess that the problem comes from my ISO file? I made them using the instructions from Apple of physical disks (Windows 7 and 8.1, but my laptop does not support 7). I will try to download Windows 10 Microsoft site, according to Apple.

  Anyway, I looked in the disk utility and found that BOOTCAMP was created successfully. I used Boot Camp Assistant to delete the partition and to combine the disc again. I then tried the whole process, once again, but with the same results.

  Still, I will try with a new ISO directly from Microsoft...

  Thanks for any input in advance.

• Boot Camp Assistant 3.0 for Windows XP

  I need to install Windows XP on my Mac mini (compatible with Windows XP DVD early 2009) since it is the only OS that will run a specific software that I need. I have Snow Leopard disk but does not know how to access the wizard Boot Camp 3.0 (apparently the only one that works with Windows XP) on this subject. I am El Capitan 10.11.6 running and when I plug the drive, I have been informed that the Setup program no longer works. When I search "optional downloads" I can find no sign of Bootcamp 3.0. I would be grateful for all the useful tips for how to find 3.0 Boot Camp Assistant. Thank you.

  Configure Windows XP Boot Camp is possible in 10.6.8 and earlier versions. If you wish, use a program like VirtualBox to run it in emulation.

• Boot Camp Assistant not showing options

  I want to uninstall Windows XP or just delete the bootcamp partition, but the page select the Boot Camp Assistant tasks offers only 3 choices of n/a:

  1. create a Windows 7 or later install drive

  2 download the latest Windows support software

  3. install Windows 7 or later

  Selection 3 does not include 'delete an existing partition to Windows' so check this and clicking on continue I get "installation disc is not found." Insert W - XP installation disc and clicking on continue evokes a 'create a Partition for Windows' and I see a partitioning scheme (but I am unable to adapt to it) and only one choice for "install".

  My clone my old drive SSD did not save the partition? The scheme of partition in the previous step is proposed as opposed to real?

• Installation of Win 7 Pro 64-bit on Mac Pro (Intel) with Boot Camp

  Trying to install OEM Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on a Mac Pro (Intel based computer) using Boot Camp (with Apple OS X 10.6). The installation went well until the system reboots to the CD with the OEM Windows 7 drive in the Bay. At that time there a MS-DOS appears on the screen that looks like this:

  1.

  2.
  Select the Startup Type of the CD-ROM:

  There is a blinking cursor (line underscore) after the semicolon, but everything I type on the keyboard appears on the screen when the cursor blinks. I use a USB keyboard connected to the computer for the installation, so I know it works. This blocked me.

  Is it possible that the OEM version is causing this problem? Can I use a regular full version of Windows 7? Do not spend money to buy, then discover it displays the same screen.

  I'll check with both Apple Support, but it seems strange that everything went very well with the installation until the Windows 7 loaded into the Bay. Any suggestions are appreciated.

  Are you sure you are using the right drive?

  The OEM versions include a disc OPK and the Windows 7 installation disc, make sure you use the right one.

  Also, insert the disc, press C on your keyboard and select the Windows 7 disc to boot from it.

• Problem with the conversion of Partition Boot Camp

  I would have just dl and installed the trial version of 3.0.  After running and by selecting the boot camp for the boot partition, merge began to 'prepare' the partition for use.  After about 45 minutes, the process had not been completed.  I grew up the activity monitor and found that the process did nothing.  I closed the process, thinking I could start over again at the launch of Fusion.  Wrong, merger saw the partition boot camp into a virtual machine that could not be started.

  Is there a possible way to start the process of 'preparation '?  It is apparently the only way to correct the problem.

  Tried from a support ticket, but could not do while I wasn't a registered owner.

  I'm trying to make my choice between Parallels and Fusion, or just stick with BootCamp.  I hope someone can help me with this problem.

  Harry

  Dear Harry,

  I did the same thing yesterday. My BootCamp partition has Windows XP (SP3) and I also have Parallels. I'm now trying to decide if I stay with Parallels or Fusion 3 (to take a possible advantage over the 64-bit @ Snow Leopard).

  My upgrade was fine, it took about 15 minutes to get BootCamp running on the merger. A small step has been to re - activate my XP with Microsoft license, because the "material" changes. I have the MACBOOK PRO 13 '' 2.53 with 4 GB of RAM. I don't really have time to play yesterday, but between Parallels and Fusion 3, (64-bit), I did not see too much improvement on the 'speed '.

  An advantage of having any of virtualization software, is that you can have multiple operating systems running, such as XP, Windows7, etc. I need that because my work, the developer. If you can stay only with an operating system, I guess, BootCamp works very well.

  Kind regards

• How to install windows 8.1 using boot camp on sierra os

  Im trying to install windows 8.1 64 bit on my end 2011 MacBook Pro using boot camp.

  I downloaded the ISO from Microsoft file and saved it in the downloads.

  i boot boot camp and she has 2 activated options are: software DOWNLOAD to apple support and the other is latest windows install or remove windows 10 or later.

  I'm not sure why it says windows 10 as it is not compatible with my mac earlier. anyway I check the two options and then bootcamp download all drivers and records them in my pendrive of 32GB.

• Problems installing Windows XP SP2

  A failure of the system, I had to recover my laptop from the recovery disks provided when I bought the laptop. This has only installed XP Pro SP1 and I'm trying to upgrade to SP3. However, I need to install SP1a or SP2 first. I tried to install both, but none works.

  SP1a crashes when it's downloading files, on the verification of the network activity, nothing is actually happening.

  SP2 crashes when checking in product key.

• 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.

  ====================

  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.)

  ===

  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 delete the partition Boot Camp Virtual Machine of the metadata and the Virtual Machine to help.

  Note: This does not affect the Boot Camp partition install windows in that it does not remove it.  Also be sure you copy all the command line below, as well as, "RM" at the beginning of the ' (quote) after the s in the Machines. "

  RM - dfr "/Users/$ the specified item was not found./Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Helper/naos-1.0.vmwarevm/vmware.log ' ~/Desktop/Helper_vmware.log

  ====================

  I tried implementing VMWare using Vista and Windows Server 2008, 1280 MB RAM and 3D on and outside.  Any ideas?

  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.

• MacBook Air (early 2014) El Capitan impossible to install Windows using Boot Camp Assistant 10

  The ISO image has been downloaded from Microsoft.

  I was using a 8 GB USB (although not a brand new, but erased and formatted by disk utility).

  When the State of the task of the Assistant Boot Camp completed "Windows Backup Software Support", Mac restarted.

  As we see from the videos of YouTube, the Mac should start in a configuration of Windows but my screen as usual!

  Still, he resumed the partition (in my case 40GB) but it is empty!

  Can even suggest what is the problem here?

  

  You can try a different USB2 flash drive? What brand is the current USB?
