Recover Windows System Image in Boot Camp 10

Hi all

I have problems with Windows on my iMac.

So I installed Win10 using the Boot Camp Assistant, partitioning 300 GB for it. After awhile, I realized I want to segment much more, so I tried looking for a way to extend this partition to 500 GB - I have tried it with a 3rd party app and didn't. I then created a Windows System Image, restored the fuser unit to a single OS X partition and reinstalled Windows with BCA - by then I had decided to partition 1 TB for each operating system. I installed with no problems and tried to recover Windows from the Image of the above system. But instead he apparently formatted my entire SDS, including the OS X partition, that the iMac will not start and more.

[I have a backup Time Machine and everything, I also know I have to reinstall OS X and then restore from that backup.]

The question is how to do what I tried bypassing Windows format the whole * thing. If this is not possible at all to recover from the image, I'll be forced to 'start from scratch' and I'd really rather not, 3rd party applications are welcome at this stage. Also, can I recover the files from the Image of the system?

Thank you for your time,

Bruncky

PS. : Given that the Apple employee didn't know immediately what I was talking about: in Windows, a System Image is a 1:1 copy of my Windows partition around, as opposed to a backup that saves only files apps and not content generated by the app.

PS2. : If I reinstall OS X from Recovery Mode, do I make specific configurations about the merger by car?

This issue arises from a bad assumption made during the restorations by the process of restoration of Windows. It assumes that the restoration is made on the dedicated disk that has nothing else. Winclone is the best solution on Mac instead of Windows System Image backups. I have some time with a few users and I have tried with different levels of success. Please see Bootcamp not recognized after the restoration of Windows from image system for example.

Try of Winclone.

There may be some confusion between the Image of the system and the history of the files. Time Machine has no concept of an Image of the system, so it is also the terminology 'exotic '.

PS2. : If I reinstall OS X from Recovery Mode, do I make specific configurations about the merger by car?

No, unless you have built a custom Fusion car. If you have a Bootcamp partition on the drive of Fusion, you want to ensure that you're not crushing BC/Windows, unless a wipe/restoration is your goal.

    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. "

    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.

  • 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.

    He then asks me what hard drive partition and I choose but then it says: he cannot find the installation file. I tried opening the file so it is mounted, but nothing works. I thought it's supposed to tell you what to do?

    Thanks for any help

    A Mac 2011 needs a physical DVD to install Windows and need to use the optical drive (CD/DVD). You cannot use an external CD/DVD drive.

    Please burn the ISO on a DVD-R SL and then click the installation option only.

  • Updates to Windows System Image after restoration.

    I recently did a restore of the System Image on my XPS9100.

    The restore worked perfectly, but it set the return system 7 months and now I can't get Windows updates. Normally I use the setting: check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install. When I choose verify Windows Update I get the loading/control screen, and I have that let it run for at least an hour before finally changing the Windows Update settings never check updates and then close the computer just get the process ended. I realize that there will be many updates to install from the last 6 months, but it should it will not take long.

  • 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.

    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.

  • How to recover windows system when it is destroyed hard drive and not COA?

    I'm sure that many people have encountered this problem. My system, including hard drive, was destroyed by an electrical surge, and I had no record of the serial number of the product.  I had a valid installation of Win XP - How can I get a new number to use for my replacement system?

    The answer depends on many factors that you don't specify.  Most of the OEM machines (Dell, HP, Compaq, etc.) have an OEM license that is valid for the first machine that it has been installed on.  If your motherboard was part of the 'system' that has been fried, your license was probably fried with it.  Some OEM licenses are locked to the BIOS of the motherboard so that if you replace the motherboard by the same jury from the same manufacturer, then the original installation disc can recognize it and install Windows XP without even asking for authentication.

    What OSX Version do you have? This site gives the requirements of Bootcamp: minimum system requirements to install Windows on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support. And you did an upgrade? Could it be that the upgrade will not correctly for the OS?

    Looking at the 10 Windows version you downloaded, is the update of birthday, which was released less than a month ago. It could be that Apple is not reconisgin the Windows version when reading the disk, because it is too recent. I don't know if you have access to the download of the previous generation and do a Windows update?

  • 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.
