• 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.

• Unable to connect to the network in Windows 7 using the Boot Camp via Fusion 2.0.4 partition

  I know that Windows 7 RC is not officially supported, but I was wondering if anyone had ideas regarding my current situation.  I'm running the RC 32 - bit of a Boot Camp partition, via merger on a unibody MacBook, and whenever I'm in Fusion Windows cannot connect to my network.  Previously, I had a vm file-based and it worked normally, and in Boot Camp, I can get online without problem.  I went to training Camp to see if the Aero effects would work (they did after I ran the test of Windows experience).  I tried mode Bridged and NAT and any Windows does not see my wireless network.

  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.

  Take a look at the configuration of the Virtual Machine's .vmx file and make sure that the NIC is showing that "e1000" as in the following example.

  ethernet0.virtualDEV = "e1000"
  

  To get the location of the Machine configuration file virtual .vmx take a look at the Beginner's Guide has VMware Fusion or gather Information for VMware Fusion.

  Note: You should make the change while Windows is shutdown, not suspended and merger closed.

  You can use TextEdit to edit the .vmx of the target Virtual Machine configuration file and locate the file...

• Problem with Windows Update after the new installation of Windows 7 Pro the Lenovo ThinkPad X 200

  I'm trying to do a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro on a Lenovo ThinkPad X 200. The product key is easy to find on the sticker of the ThinkPad. However, the version of Windows is hidden (for example, I can't check that my ThinkPad had originally installed Windows 7 Pro). I was able to install by using a Pro Win 7 SP1 CD ROM I bought for another installation. I used the ThinkPad I was trying to make the new facility on the product key. I was able to activate the Windows 7 Pro using the phone call and my cell phone. I checked the activation! However, I have problems with Windows update. The product key may be a different version of Windows 7. If so, why did it install and activate OK? Y at - it a fix for this problem or I have to buy a new version of Windows 7 Pro? Please note that I have not yet installed all drivers Lenovo ThinkPad as I can't seem to install correctly. Thank you!

  Since the issue is updated to Windows, it is not a product number key.

  Suggest you download and save the Fixit. Then configure the system before the clean boot by running:

  Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously. Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode. Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers. If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode. Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.

  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

  Regarding the Boot Camp existing partition Virtual Machine...

  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.

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

• Where did the Boot Camp partition goes after VMware?

  Hi all

  When I was with Boot Camp the last time, there was this partition called "Untitled" on my desktop Mac, which is the partition for Windows XP.

  After using VMware Fusion for the Boot Camp partition, the "Untitled" icon disappeared from my office.

  Can I know what happened to that partition?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  A single operating system can control one partition at a time.  If the Boot Camp partition is disassembly of OSX and mounted in the VM when you start the virtual machine.  When you shut down the virtual machine, the Boot Camp partition should be resumed to OSX.

• 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.

  Please, disconnect all external storage devices to your iMac and run the following two procedures.

• Problem with Windows Explorer and the recorded files

  When I save files from the internet and then open the folder with Windows Explorer in the backed up files, I find that WE consider not save them on my hard drive "change" more. I know it's strange, but I tend to retain files roughly in the order that I saved them, rather than by the name of the file or anything else. So now to manually change the files in a certain way, then save them to get them organized as I want. Of course, this can become very painful and long if I have a lot of files to organize this way. My question is: How can I get Windows to consider saving a file on my HDD as change? I use Firefox and updated recently, which may be the cause of the problem.

  Hi Flingle,

  Were you able to save and access files correctly before you update Firefox?

  You can create a new folder & try to download the file inside of Internet Explorer & check if the problem persists.

  Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

• Problem with Windows Update after the removal of Virus

  My operating system is Win Vista 32 bit, had some virus closed my windows updates, have a view of the white page. Checked that my services and win update is in automatic mode has started, so I don't know why my updater gives me a red x saying windows updater is turned off.  Any suggestions?

  Yet, as indicated in The ball , the search results links do not work. I also used several browsers and DuckDuckGo. Maybe it's because the Windows Update Agent was changed some time ago and the article is no longer valid.

  EDIT: If the OP is also struggling to access the link I suggest using repair Windows updates available from tweaking.com. I suggest also using the Registry backup of the same author before hand.

• 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.

• Lack of the boot camp partition

  I use El Capitan OSX and I decided to install boot camp. I began installing Windows 7 and it has 100 GB. After installation in the Boot Camp Assistant the Macbook restarted and then appeared the installer of Windows 7. I started to install but then appeared the first problem - he says it takes 200 MB to install, but I had only 170 MB of space free (?) and is clearly not true, I always 70 GB left in the Mac OSX and 100 GB in the Windows side. So it will not let me install Windows...
  The second problem is that it is not a boot camp partition, but it took 100 GB of memory of my Macbook. I tried to uninstall everything through the Assistant Boot Camp, but the only thing it allows me to do is to install a new windows and new partition...

  Please help ASAP!

  1. in what year is your MBP?

  2. If you tried an EFI (depending on your Mac) installation, this reference (200 MB/170 MB) is generally the EFI partition.

  3. your OS X CoreStorage volume has been reduced to 100 GB, but the creation of the corresponding partition of the BC failed.

• Windows 7 smaller size of the boot camp partition

  Hello world

  IM pretty new to mac and here next week, I want to buy the mbp 13 "retina 128 GB of storage. im a student of college and also the study, I might also want to play games and found that mac offer boot camp for w7. with my 128 GB of storage, which would be the smallest size of my partition w7, including some games total about 20 GB? 50 GB w7 partition would be enough?

  Thank you very much

  Hi Ashcroft:

  This is a technical note on installing Windows 7 on Bootcamp. Install Windows 7 and previous versions on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support

  My personal opinion is that 128 GB is perhaps not large enough even without installing Windows 7.

  The new Macbook Pro is not really scalable. Memory is soldered in and the PCIe SSDS are very expensive. Also if you open the back of your computer to upgrade the SSD, you could void your warranty.

  If you read some posts there are a few from today on people who want to spend 500 GB SSD as they meed more space.

  So I consider getting more than 128 GB.

  Just my opinion.
