Questions of BootCamp

Hello! I have a mid-2012 MBA running the latest OS. I'm trying BootCamp a x 64 Windows 7 .iso that I picked up on an old hard drive. I copied it on my MBA and whenever I try to get BootCamp running, it installs the .iso image file, with a beautiful result: error "device bootable USB could not be created.". I tried to disassemble the .iso but BootCamp keeps making it to the top every time. Also, I tried reset PRAM/SMC, different USB/.iso, pretty much everything I could think of. In addition, I tried to run only the last options BootCamp after manually download BootCamp utility 5 manually, "Version of 7 or a later version of Windows Installer" and I get an error once again: "the installation disc is not found." I'm running out of options... Help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

I have an MBA mid-2012 latest (El Captain) OS running.

I'm doing a bootable Windows USB installation disk (which, in theory, is possible via BootCamp).

I am trying to install Windows OS is Windows 7 x 64.

The USB is formatted in FAT32 and MBR.

Turns out I have used corrupt .iso files. Well, everything works fine now! I fixed the problem by downloading the official Microsoft Windows 10 .iso image file directly.

  • Question about bootcamp and vmware

    Will be the vmware fusion mess with my drivers bootcamp anyway and so reduce the

    performance when using my bootcamp normally score?

    weinstein5 wrote:

    It shouldn't be a problem - Fusion runs as an application on top of OS - x and does not install the drivers.

    I personally believe, you are not using Fusion or you are not aware that merger indeed install drivers under Windows when running the Boot Camp partition in a Virtual Machine. Especially if you use a version of Windows that requires WPA then VMware Tools must be installed to manage this activation problem and it also installs the necessary drivers to support the Virtual Machine uses the virtual hardware.  So Fusion installs drivers in the Camp of Boot partition when it works as a Virtual Machine and the installation is automatic, unless we alter the configuration of Boot Camp partition.vmx file or cancel the installation of the VMware Tools at the start of the Windows Desktop for the first time running the Boot Camp partition as a VM for the first time.

  • Lost bootcamp partition after you use diskutil to resize

    Hello

    I was little Yosemite when I resized (shrunk) my partition apple to increase the size of my bootcamp partition using disk utility. I studied the problem and understand the limits of partition are not correct on my bootcamp partition.  Using this thread as my main guide

    https://discussions.Apple.com/thread/6465316?TSTART=0

    I went through the steps and got the boot to a read error trying to start on the bootcamp partition.

    In osx, disk utility displays the bootcamp partition, but it is always grayed out and right-click to mount displays an error when you try to mount.  I understand it, conceptually, what I do, but I don't know enough details to understand what I'm doing wrong.  Here is information and links to screenshots of error messages, etc.   I would greatly appreciate any idea. Former Republic Yugoslav, the machine is a retina MBP 15 "with a 500g SSD

    This link will show you the screenhots of the controls required for the diagnosis.

    http://www.lewallens.com/2016/03/lost-bootdisk-info.html

    In addition, I had bootcamp windows installation USB key that I was going to start, from the discussions around the read error.  I couldn't accomplish that, as when started the USB, the display depending on whether you get after you choose the language and keyboard is not the screen where you can choose the Startup Repair, but the first screen of the windows installation.  Interestingly, with the same USB stick plugged into a mac mini without bootcamp partition, boot/repair screen comes up

    Thanks in advance.

    How to resize my bootcamp partition without deleting chtol

    However, according to Apple, you may use any software other than Boot Camp to resize the partition.

    Boot Camp: resize the Windows partition (told to uninstall Windows and resize all reinstall)

    Boot Camp: install Windows on your Mac (also indicates that you can not resize the partition once Windows is installed)

    In addition, Windows and Mac OS X must be backed up separately. Time Machine does not back up windows partition, so if you ever have a problem and the need to restore your computer, you would lose the Windows files.

  • Bootcamp Windows 10 question

    Hi all

    Stumbled upon a problem, try to install Windows 10 an end 2014 27' iMac w/retina education runs Yosemite 10.10.5. Bootcamp is V 5.1.4. 32 GB, 3.5 ghz Intel I5. Disk of 1 TB of Fusion. Before you try this, I read the guide of Bootcamp to install windows, but also a number of other tutorials and forum messages about potential problems. This research, I learned that for EDU edition you must change the name of the file from Win10_1607_Education_English_x64.iso to Win10_1607_English_x64.iso. Apparently to have the former name of the file may cause OS X to not recognize the ISO. That fact I started Bootcamp, waited while the software downloaded and created a bootable USB key and partitioned my drive giving Windows 70 GB of space. After that, I got the message that my computer is restarts. Upon restarting, I got the black screen with the blue Windows logo and a spinning loading animation. After a few minutes, a blue screen with a message "Windows has encountered and error with computer and must restart," or something similar. He was pretty quick, so maybe it's not word for Word, but it was not a helpful post in terms of saying something specific. When the computer reboots, I am sent directly to OS X, though a bit slower than normal. I tried to restart with the flash drive to see if the installer would start up, no dice. Try now the Option key at startup, the flash player is not available. Went into my settings to see if I could change my startup on Win disk install USB, no luck it no more.

    Now for the question: How can I get the Windows installation again? What I have to start the process, and if so, what should I use Bootcamp to delete the partition that was created? I have re-run Bootcamp and the only option that is checked is the partition and start and install/uninstall windows and delete the partition.

    Thanks for the help.

    How to reset the NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

    If you use a USB drive, not a USB flash drive, you will have problems. It is recommended to use a 8-16 GB USB2 flash drive.

    If the installation program is located on a USB Flash drive, stop your Mac, connect the USB key, restart and hold down the alt/option key and select the Windows icon in the USB port. This installs Windows in BIOS mode. If you click the start EFI icon, it will install using the EFI mode (faster). You may need to change the partition from MBR to GPT using GPT Fdisk.

  • Luvin 3.1, but just a few questions on machines with bootcamp...

    Hi all, v3.1 is fantastic and everything works fine. But I have some questions that the admin of de facto in a studio with lotsa imacs. What I do for machines with boot camp, it is creating a WINCLONE of an image for deployment and perform restorations on the machine with bootcamp when I want to update. Works perfectly :)

    But I wonder if using VMWare to make updates on my main image will in any way mess things, in other words, when a player of bootcamp partition running virtual in VMWare interface, installation of software and whatnot will be the same as if the installation of the software if the native boot? In more words, have VMWare tools installed on the Boot Camp partition will do anything to disrupt things when running native than boot camp?

    Many Boot Camps that I update don't have VMWare installed, because they are mainly used on the side PC anyway, to these people that I can not/never get clean windows. I want to assure you that I am not having problems using VMWare on the master Bootcamp partition that I use to clone.

    And just a side note: while I like your product, I can't tell you how much not having not not firewire support in virtual images is to play with a / V. Heads We absolutely need to have support firewire audio and video workstations. If there is support, I would never mess with boot camp again!

    Well, thx and hope to hear from you soon.

In still more words, will have the VMware Tools installed on the Boot Camp partition anything to disrupt things during this training camp native execution?

    Yes, you can perform maintenance of software (for example patches from Microsoft) for the Boot Camp partition in VMware Fusion almost identical initializing natively in the machine.  The only differences are the detection for device drivers that need to access the host hardware to update (this should be very rare).  Update in general things like Windows, Office, Adobe CS/Acrobat, etc. will be fine.

    As for VMware in Boot Camp tools, virtual pilots are designed to remain latent (inactive) without any problems, that is not loaded == not used.  There is only one question: activation software updates.  VMware swap files of activation for Windows and Office preserve activation in each environment.  If you move the activation of copies of Vista, 7, Office 2007/2010 via WinClone, this will trigger reactivation.  Also starting in VMware Fusion will require more activation by machine for VMware environments and British Colombia are activated.  As long as you don't replace Boot Camp partitions, activations should stay.  For the use of this type of activation, he preferred to a Service (KMS) key management to manage your licenses on site because copies at retail have limited the number of activations.

  • Update the graphic driver for Bootcamp 6.0 questions

    After you perform a new installation of Windows 10 1607, I proceeded to install Bootcamp AppleBcUpdate.exe drivers on my MacbookPro 11.5 i7 Dual Graphics.

    Everything worked fine after that restart once the installation has been done. Now I checked the Apple software update, and he gave me a few updates. Specifically the bottom three in the picture below.

    It restarted after that and then 'Apple Software Update' update itself twice before offering a new version of the graphics driver.

    This update has screwed up the system. Auto brightness doesn't work anymore. The brightness keys don't do anything. I reinstalled bootcamp on a fresh drive to isolate this problem.

    Does anyone have a solution to this? Any suggestions? If everyone Apple never bother reading this, then please test your drivers before you send them.

    Delete Windows, re - install, create a Windows system restore point, disable all updates Intel GPU and then apply the updates and test.

  • BootCamp Windows 10 questions

    Hello

    I have a 27 "iMac late 2015, retina - 5 k, bought a few months ago and El Capitan (OS X 10.11.5) running

    I recently bought a 10 Windows in order to create a dual boot. Of course, as I write here, it did not work.

    I tried everything I could.

    First, using the key provided with the Win10 USB I created an ISO. I placed this ISO on another USB drive and follow the instructions in using BootCamp I would get an error in this direction: BootCamp does not install, there was not enough space to create a partition. -Obviously I have a lot of space.

    Secondly, I copied the ISO on my desktop and restarted the process. Same result.

    Thirdly, I downloaded an ISO Win10 of MS, placed on the desktop and restarted the process. In this way, BootCamp has been able to create a partition and the computer restarts and you are prompted to install windows. After inputing the windows product key, I chose the "BOOTCAMP", formatted drive (to be noted that the name has changed), selected it and after hitting "Next", I get an error something like this: we could not create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see installation logs.

    Any suggestions?

    1. use the ISO downloaded from Microsoft. It should be an ISO only 64-bit. It cannot be mixed.

    2 put the ISO in the Documents folder and do not.

    3. disconnect the external storage and perform the following two procedures.

    Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support

    How to reset the NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

    4. run the wizard of BC and try to install Windows.

    5. Please visit https://help.apple.com/bootcamp/assistant/6.0/#/bcmp173b3bf2 for the detailed steps for your model. Your model does not use the USB for Windows installation, and does not support the creation of a Windows USB Installer. Do not change the file info.plist Bootcamp to create a workaround solution. It will cause other problems.

  • Questions of portable Bootcamp

    I recently created a drive windows laptop 10 using my MacBook Pro (retina, mid-2012) using a HDD external 500 GB and WinToUsb. It was working fine and everything was ready for use, so I inserted my USB with bootcamp files downloaded using the bootcamp application (so yes, the latest version of bootcamp) and installed all the drivers using setup.exe.  You must restart the drivers take effect and once rebooted I hold down option, click the reader portable and stuck on a black screen which requires me to eventually shut down the computer using the power button.  I was able to restart the player successfully in windows while it was set up originally on the disk until that which points to the drivers. I tried to reinstall a clean version of windows 10 and reinstall the drivers, but the same problem occurred.  I also thought it might just be install something then I let sit for hours, but still a black screen. Every third time (for some strange reason) when I have the boot disk, I get a prompt saying windows was arrested wrongly and I'm able to boot in safe mode sense, that the problem must be the bootcamp drivers. I'm not sure which driver is causing the problem and how to avoid it or repair. Anyone else has this same problem or know a solution? Any help would be great account where I put far too much time in this!

    UPDATE - to be more precise on the screen goes black: I click on the portable player to start windows, windows turns the wheel starts, and then the screen goes black. Sometimes it will come back but then freeze just when the wheel rotation for windows returns to the top. Once fixed on the blank screen or the spinning wheel, fans of kick and that is where it is blocked. I hope this helps!

  • Please help with questions related to windows/bootcamp.

    I understood the basics of bootcamp, but how I'd buy windows, so how would this work? Like, I download the ISO file, run bootcamp, set up, everything. Then the Mac start up in windows, where you must enter the product key. Can we just buy a microsoft product key? Or should I buy a downloadable version of windows, that would say the differences between a download, a drive and a drive flash, and how to define us as upward with bootcamp, what method do we use the ISO version downloaded to?

    Thank you!

  • Impossible to install 10 Windows on Bootcamp partition

    #1

    Hello! I just tried to install Windows 10 on my Macbook with a 32 GB USB using Bootcamp. Everything was fine until I came to the part where I have to choose the partition where I want to install my Windows 10 and of course I chose the Bootcamp partition, but in fact I couldn't click on 'next' (I was so stupid and don't format it).
    So I just format the Bootcamp partition and when I tried to click 'next' he just told me 'we could not create a new partition or locate an existing one. I went through google and searched all regarding this problem and there are a lot of guys having almost the same or exactly the same 'error' when trying to install 10 Windows on the Bootcamp partition, but nothing has really helped me. I deleted everything except my USB key and someone told me that I should only have 4 partitions or less.
    He shows me the 4 partition but there are two partitions (3) and two partition (1).
