Question to install Windows 8.1 Pro on 2014 iMac, 21.5 "?

I was able to use bootcamp to create a windows bootable flash drive. I was able to create a 160 GB partition to install Windows. I could reboot and start Windows to install. When he arrives at the section of the partition, disk 0 partition 4: BOOTCAMP, this is what these instructions indicate that you choose, and format. I clicked on the format, but as soon as label 'BOOTCAMP' disappeared, I had an error message saying that Windows cannot install because the GPT partition style? Can someone please help me with this, and more if you have me delete the partition using boot camp and create a partition with disk utility, I will need still more detailed instructions. Instructions on how to format this partition so that Windows can be installed on it. I tried disc utility Lane, but he gave me the same error of TPG and wouldn't let me even click on format. Also I couldn't format options advanced as I read people talk in other forums. I would appreciate your help, please and thank you!

I know he said Mavericks, but I've updated to El Capitan and have everything updated before doing all this!

    After 2 days of tweaking, I was able to understand that this is a problem due to the RAID card installed, I also read that you just remove it and connect the SSD in one of the two doors empty ODDsata (and not in the 4 planned the raid card slots)

    but still does not see the attached HDD / SSD, so keep trying and I think it's a driver problem and I need to install the AHCI driver, now, I'm pretty Nerd, but I still can't get.

  • question on installing windows 7

    I'm building a new office because my wife wrecked her laptop and I'll give her mine.  In total, I have two laptops over hers and a version bought Windows vista Ultimate edition.   The only work of three laptop computers, but the other two, used for. Allows to call their computer laptop a & b (broken mine), & (my own work) and c & (wifes does not).  All three had windows vista or 8 installed manufacturer, only the difference is on one portable computer & I installed windows vista ultimate on it.  This is where my question comes in.

    On my new office that I build, I want to put up with the laptop & harddrive and I have an another 2.5 Virgin sitting somewhere.  I have the architecture to have inside the desktop computer.  I wonder if I can just put the old cell phone a & drive hard and it maybe will not work with windows on my system, however especially can I just install the windows vista ultimate dvd new since I have not used this laptop a & in two years or more?  If this is not the case, what can I do? In my house, we have 4 windows vista/8 with single numbers used, what are my options with these unused serial numbers, one of them, is a retail version of windows vista holiday?

    Hello

    If the computer/laptop comes with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) or is licensed to OEM System Builders, that the product key that came with the computer/laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) and the license OEM System Builders are related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when machine who dies.

    Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

  • Questions Re installed Windows 7 on my computer

    Recently, I decided to re - install Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit on my gaming PC, due to the fact that there are many viruses to infect my computer makes it difficult to do the basic things. When I got my installation disk I followed the instructions in the custom and chooses everything I wanted to do. When the installation is almost complete, (saying complete installation) it never seemed to end, it had sat for an hour, saying that it has finished installing, at this stage, I decided to turn it off and on again because probably there was a bug in the installation. When I did the installation launched and got "the installation program starts services" and then say "Windows has encountered an error or a restart unexpected, please click OK to restart the computer and continue the installation" naturally, I selected OK and it restarted the computer, but then once "the Installer starts services" the same question would happen

    infinitely. I tried up to 15 - 20 times except that soon he don't even have that until now, he has just cut immediately after start-up, restart and repeat. If anyone has encountered this and has one response other than buying a new hard drive and a new windows 7 CD

    If you can download and install ISORecoder and use it to create a DVD ISO Windows 7. If it succeeds, then the disc can be read in its entirety and there is nothing wrong with it.

    Visit the manufacturers of drive for a diagnostic disk image or a tool. To verify that the drive is OK.

    Remove all add the device before installing Windows, if it has on-board graphics port even remove the video card. The naked system is less likely to have driver problems. Even remove all other disks apart from the system disk.

    The fault you describe is indicating a memory problem as a serious candidate. Try to remove the memory down to a minimum for installation. Installation with suspect memory can produce weird effects and I found memory that can pass every test available have problems with the installation of Windows.

  • A general question on installing Windows 7 and RAID configuration

    I have an OEM Windows XP machine. His HD system consists of two physical disks connected during a RAID 0 configuration. The RAID has been initially configured in the BIOS (and maybe an extra chip), and then there are the drivers included in the installer of the OS.

    My question is: if I install Windows 7 from scratch on this machine (i.e. not updated from XP) the installation process would allow me to configure the RAID? Has its own generic drivers for RAID configurations?

    You will appreciate a response from a really knowledgeable person.

  • A few questions about installing Windows on a Mac

    Hello world.

    I'm considering installing Windows on my 2006 iMac. I have a few questions I was hoping you might be able to help me with that. I know that this machine will run Windows 7 or 8, in terms of system resources, but probably doesn't have the RAM for 10.

    The girl has reached Apple Obsolescence and no longer can be upgraded to newer versions of Mac OS. Unfortunately, this also means that she can not get the latest version of iTunes and don't talk to my phone. But she still my entire library of music.

    I know that used at least iTunes is available on Windows, but I seem to remember that they took it. Y at - it an option to put my iTunes music on an iPhone 6 in a Windows environment? I don't mind if I need to convert files or otherwise work for her. I have just a few old out-of-print stuff that I really miss being able to listen to anywhere other than my office.

    I'm pretty much stuck with versions before 10, due to the RAM thing. Honestly, I haven't used Windows since around 1998, with the exception of a terminal XP at work, so I don't know much about it. Any recommendation on which version is the best? And I can buy a copy online directly from Microsoft?

    If I would be better off buying a new laptop for very cheap, it is also a possibility. But my Mac still works well, despite not being not supported for updates, and I hate wasting perfectly good material. I just don't have the money for another Mac right now.

  • Cannot install windows on Satellite Pro A40

    Hi I read through all the posts and I can't seem to find an answer.

    My problem is that...

    I tried to install windows from a full version and when I want to install windows on a partition it fails. If I try to delete the partition, it fails. If I use the recovery discs - Option 1 not entered completely load - looks like Gdisk? error and then a ghost. Option 2 loads but when I go again to install fails.

    I can't find an option in the bios to prevent disk access - as a protection against boot viruses. the key under the keyboard, I tried in both positions.

    I removed the battery to see if it is a power problem.

    I tried using the options of recovery in win xp - but cannot access the drive

    The really strange thing is over the option of recovery disks 2 - the size of the disk is larger than the actual size of about 1/3?

    The system initially went down while it is connected to the internet - the only option I can thing of is a power surge came down the line and has damaged the motherboard or hard drive. As it happened to a desktop system - blew 3 modems and a UPS before we have located the problem.

    Help!

    Hello

    tried to check and format the drive with an external tool? I'll give you a suggestion: try the "ultimate boot cd" which has many tools also some tools for the maintenance of hard drives.

    You can get the picture here: http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/

    Just burn it to a CD, boot and choose the tool for your hard drive to check it out and repartition it.

    It could be that useful...

  • Cannot install Windows 10 from USB on older iMac

    10.11.2 here on an end Quad Core iMac 2009 (11.1) running. Newly added THAT SSD has a GUID partition scheme. My Superdrive is problems, so I changed the file Info.plist of the Bootcamp Assistant to support my iMac by adding my model # for the readers of preusbsupported, removed the pre and added to my version of boot rom. He then began to create the Windows 10 ISO on the USB without problem. I then start the installation of Windows 7 Bootcamp and more. Once finished, I stop the iMac to be able to do a cold start system and use the startup key Option. I then started on the newly formed Stick Pen labeled EFI. I proceed with the beginning of the installation of Windows 10. However, when I get to the part where fault window to format the Bootcamp partition always reports back that 'Windows cannot be installed to this disk. Windows cannot be installed to GPT disks on EFI systems,'. So that's where I'm stuck. Can anyone shed light on this issue and if there is a solution for this? I appreciate it because I spent hours trying to fix without result! Thanks for your help!

    Update: I have done experiments about the above issue and found that if I just let free unallocated space on the SSD for Windows 10 10 Windows install it reformatted and installation takes place. I wonder if the above question has something to do with firmware the in the 2009 end iMac? Anyway, the good news is that I finally got the USB Installer Windows 10 working on an older unsupported late 2009 27 "iMac. 10 Windows installed fine internal DVD drive for the iMac, but who went south so now I have an alternative!
