SuperDrive drive broken don't Boot Camp Windows at El Capitan

I tried many schemes proposed in this forum and at least a dozen different ways to do El Capitan boot camp Windows. I have run csrutil disable recovery and used the utility gdisk to rewrite the workout plan to use GPT.  It seems to go as far as the installation of all files of Windows 10 then I get the message Windows "Windows didn't prepare the computer to start the next phase of the installation.» To install Windows, restart the installation. "I tried bcdboot c:\windows and manually enter the drive and also the partition GUID I recorded option detail gdisk. But I get errors co so there is something that has always does not run.

I have not yet tried Rufus. I used unetbootin to make my Windows 10 microsoft 64-bit ISO flash player. I also have an OEM Windows 8 disc bought three years ago. I am a little concerned by the barking of multiple trees simultaneously.

It's a MacBookPro6, 1 EFI and SMC confirm current. 8 GB Crucial RAM. The SuperDrive doesn't work, or my burner USB Pioneer BD-204 (with confirmation last firmware, which actually turns into a BD-205) will allow you to install windows despite offering an optical EFI partition after the option - reboot. I was able to get Windows installed from a USB key that I did leave an ISO download unetbootin Using Microsoft as described. Maybe Rufus has solved this problem?

I am entirely prepared to scrub the entire disk (that I had actually done yesterday, by a genius) and start from scratch if I could just find a step - who would work in reality. I really need to boot camp Windows 8 or 10 of this machine again.

I'm even ready to install another internal drive instead the SuperDrive for boot camp Windows, but I want to assure you that I have does not work in the same exact questions if I take this step.

Also boot camp just offers me the possibility to specify an ISO standard, there isn't that two not three check boxes and whenever I try from the disk, I get the black 'system unboot press a button' block after it restarts.

I also edited info.plist of boot camp to add my model to the list of the 32 bit patterns.

There is absolutely no problem backup etc., yesterday, the genius was so smart that he told me to try a Microsoft store.

Please help this is going on 10 days, that I tried to fix this now. Should I go back to the Apple Store and ask them to put the Mavericks on this? That's how I got 8.1 Windows boot planted three years ago.

Do not install a second Optibay drive, until Windows is completely installed, otherwise you will encounter more questions.

  • Boot Camp Windows 10 Upgrade does not work

    Hello world!

    I use Windows 7 Professional SP1 with boot camp, I managed to function very well.

    I bought a legal copy of Windows 7 Professional and active, it yesterday, so all is good and works as it should (more or less)

    I did it on my iMac 5 k (end of 2014). I use version 6 of boot camp and installed all updates in OSX as well on Windows 7 via the apple software update tool.

    Now, I decided to upgrade to Windows 10 but somehow it does not work for me as it should.

    I am able to do 10 downloaded Windows and Setup will start, but immediately after it will crash.

    I use the German version so I can only tell you what is presented here:

    "eine handcrafted befehlszeile [/DynamicUpdate] angegeben wurde.

    I don't know what the problem is, I tried 3 times more using the Microsoft upgrade page.

    I also tried the MediaCreationTool but I still get the same error at the beginning of the installation.

    What I need to install additional drivers on my USB dongle or do I have to remove my USB mouse and the USB dongle (which is always to have the files to install boot camp Windows 7 top)?

    I don't see what else to do and hope that someone here knows how to perform the upgrade properly.

    Kind regards

    ela7ion

    Update!

    The upgrade succeeded finally!

    I managed to do the upgrade after removing all devices that are connected to the iMac before.

    This includes:

    -SuperDrive

    -USB mouse

    -USB dongle

    I then started the tool to upgrade from the Microsoft Web site and guess what: it worked.

    Best regards

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    My MBP has an inside 128 GB SSD, and insists on the creation of a 50 GB partition on it in order to install Boot Camp Boot Camp.  This would force me to erase most of what I have installed.

  • Boot camp windows 7 without internet probs

    Hi, can someone help me please?

    I installed windows 7 64 bit, cd, everything seems ok part of I can't go on the internet.

    I downloaded bootcamp and tried to install the drivers but it says that they are not compatible for the mac.

    It's a macbook pro 13 "mid-2012, and I tried to install boot camp 5 and 4.

    any help appreciated.

    Hello lees220,

    Thanks for asking for help with Boot Camp here in Apple Support communities. I understand how it is important for the dual-boot option. Here's what I recommend.

    The first thing we want to make sure is that all your data is safe. You can perform a backup using Time Machine and an external hard drive. Some people recommend an external hard drive twice the size of your internal hard drive, because finally he fills with the backups, but as long as you have a car large enough to store all the data currently on your Mac that will suffice. Use this article to help make a backup of your Mac: use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac. This backup of your Mac partition only. You will need to use another method to back up the Windows partition if you need.

    Once you have a backup of your data, please see this help article: install Windows 7 and older versions on your Mac with Boot Camp. It shows in the picture that your model of Mac must use 5 Bootcamp with Windows 7 64-bit. There is also a link to the software support in the article, but I will also provide you with here: Boot Camp 5.1.5621. Support software

    If you want to try another version of Windows, use this help article to verify its compatibility with your model of Mac: minimum system requirements to install Windows on your Mac with Boot Camp.

    Once you have the software support, open Boot Camp and that there should be an option to repair Windows or install a supported software. If you don't see these options, it would be preferable to delete the current partition and start over using the information provided here to ensure that everything goes smoothly and in order.

    Thank you and have a wonderful rest of your day.

  • Boot Camp Windows 10 incorrect use of storage

    Hello

But when I go to the use of the storage in the settings, it shows that my C: drive is 698g. I also checked command prompt and records management, but it seems that everything is normal.  In addition, I also fixed the disc as well in mac and Windows operating system recovery mode, but it didn't work.

    1. your iMac end 2013 supports the facilities of BIOS/MBR and GPT/EFI.

    2. the legacy BIOS/MBR method requires a hybrid MBR.

    3 EFI/GPT is recommended for your specific model.

    4. you can use the GPT Fdisk steps in your link to make your drive a GPT disk only. It is not enough.

    5. you will need to convert the FAT32 partition space using the following OS X Terminal

    diskutil eraseVolume free disk0s4 FREE

    This will return an error, because free space is not associated with disk slices.

    6. at this point, use the USB installer created by the wizard of BC, boot from it and hold down the Alt/Option key and select Boot EFI (not Windows). Point to the portion of the free space that you see after the + 620 MB Recovery HD. It will separate into a small (128 MB) MSR and the rest as MSD (NTFS).

    7. do not install W7 in Boot EFI, because it has some difficulties.

    8. when Windows is installed, and BC drivers are not installed, run setup.exe from the Bootcamp folder.

    9. If csrutil is not found, you are in the recovery of the Internet, because your local Recovery HD is corrupted. The rescue of the failure of the local recovery is restoration of Internet. Your must be on El Capitan. There is no csrutil (or SIP) before El Capitan.

  • Disk space lost because of the boot camp windows partition

    Hello world

    I have a problem with my macbook. Once a decide install windows via boot camp. Everything is ok, I'm going to star boot camp, create the windows (100 GB for windows) partition and start the installation of windows, in windows, I format partition windows by tutorial in the site of apple and windows install beginning... after that windows displays errors that can not install windows, so a cancel every thing a restart of the mac (I'm told that I can't live without windows) , so I started mac and I watch my drive. I have 500 GB SDD, mac shows me normally of 500 GB, but the tape drive shows me only 400GB. I understand that the missing 100 GB is the windows partition, but it is now. I can't find this partition, or disk utility, or normally. Boot camp can not boot because error boot camp startup disk cannot be partitioned etc..

    A few ideas how to run boot camp with this problem or how can run windows install without boot camp to try install new windwos? Sorry for my English and thank you for any response.

    After you delete the BootCamp partition, you must use the disk utility to resize the OS X partition.  The partitions will not resize itself automatically, you must open disk utility and manually resize the partition to use the full capacity of the drive.

  • Boot Camp Windows 7 partition can preprocess

    Hello

    I just got a new MacBook Pro 13 "(2,66 ghz), ran the wizard boot camp to install Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, then used the disk utility to create a FAT32 partition that is easily accessible by Windows and Mac." I did it by resizing of the Mac OS X partition, and then create a new FAT32 partition using the new unallocated space.

    Everything worked so far, and I was able to start easily in Windows 7 and OS X.

    However, when it came to VMWare Fusion, I couldn't boot into Boot Camp partition even for the first time. After hitting the "Run Windows of your Boot Camp partition" shortcut, VMWare is trying to preprocess for awhile before hitting this error:

    "Boot Camp parition preprocessing failed. You may not be able to start your Boot Camp partition in a virtual machine. »

    The virtual machine appears in the menu after it, but hit the button "Run" results in this error message:

    "Could not open the disk" / Users/Daniel/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp/Boot Camo.bmwarevm/Boot Camp.cmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on. "." Reason: resource busy. »

    I chased the forums and the closest, I learned to my situation is as follows:

    http://communities.VMware.com/message/1525899

    I think this extra FAT32 partition might be the reason why VMWare has questions because I read about how the number of the disk could change when I added this extra partition. So I tried this step (http://communities.vmware.com/message/1423849#1423849) of the thread above but can't find not the entry of the disk/dev/or anything that resembles this entry in the plist (Yes, I properly open the .plist file using the xCode property list editor).

    Is there anyway that I might be able to solve this problem by having perhaps VMWare to find the right partition?

    Thank you very much!

Then I tried this step (http://communities.vmware.com/message/1423849#1423849) of the thread above, but did not find the entrance to the disk/dev/or anything that resembles this entry in the plist (Yes, I open the .plist file correctly using the xCode property list editor).

    The problem with multiple entries in Boot Camp in the library has been resolved in Fusion 3.1. However, even in previous versions, it was only a problem on systems with several hard drives. So, should not be a problem for you.

    The two errors that you get ("preprocessing failed" and "resource busy") are likely related - of the preprocessing step probably fails if the partitions are occupied. This happens if there is a file that is currently open on one of the partitions. Try to disassemble the two partitions using disk utility before you start the merge.

    Normally this shouldn't be necessary, but it is possible that disk utility the request disassemble a more energetic partitions. I would be interested to know if the problem happens again on subsequent starts of the merger with the mounted partitions.

    I also recommend deleting the entry of Boot Camp VM library merger and recreate from scratch by clicking on "Run Windows of your Boot Camp partition" on the home screen of the library. It will pass through the stage of pretreatment again. The pre-treatment is required to correctly detect the guest OS type, the drivers for the virtual hardware configuration and the installation of the VMware Tools.

    Windows 7 is much more user-friendly for the hardware changes, so it is possible to start the virtual machine, even without pretreatment (previous versions of Windows would get a blue screen because they could not find the boot device). If you want to use a VM Boot Camp without the preprocessing step, be sure to set the type of operating system invited to the correct version (Windows 7 x 64 for you) and manually install VMware Tools.
