The Boot Camp Assistant problems

• 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.

  OS X Terminal, please after the release of

• How to remove the boot camp on my pc?

  I have to delete the boot camp to increase memory Mac

  As the Assistant Boot Camp is a part of Mac OS X to create a partition to install Windows, I don't really think that you really want to delete it.

  Instead, I think that you want to delete the partition that contains Windows and which is made from the Boot Camp Assistant. For instructions on reading this Boot Camp: Remove Windows from your Mac

• Boot Camp Assistant not showing options

  I want to uninstall Windows XP or just delete the bootcamp partition, but the page select the Boot Camp Assistant tasks offers only 3 choices of n/a:

  1. create a Windows 7 or later install drive

  2 download the latest Windows support software

  3. install Windows 7 or later

  Selection 3 does not include 'delete an existing partition to Windows' so check this and clicking on continue I get "installation disc is not found." Insert W - XP installation disc and clicking on continue evokes a 'create a Partition for Windows' and I see a partitioning scheme (but I am unable to adapt to it) and only one choice for "install".

  My clone my old drive SSD did not save the partition? The scheme of partition in the previous step is proposed as opposed to real?

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  1. check that the Windows XP Home edition is not a virtual machine.

  2. after the release of order OS X Terminal - diskutil list.

• Where should I install the Boot Camp updates: Windows or Mac?

  With the help of Boot Camp, I have installed Windows 10 when my OS from Apple was Yosemite. Recently, I upgraded the operating system Apple to El Capitan. Today, while working on the side of Windows 10 things, I got a notice of pop-up that I should install the update for Boot Camp. So I have two questions actually:

  • (1) was not the latest version of Boot Camp included in the update of El Capitan? and,
  • (2) should I download it then install the Boot Camp update, when I run Windows 10 or when I'm on the side of Mac?

  1 n ° with the exception of the Boot Camp Assistant, all components of Boot Camp are Windows software and does not part of Mac OS X.

  2. do Windows.

• Unit works only with the Boot Camp Partition

  Hi guys - I searched the forums for a while and pretty well I came across all positions said that if the unit does not have to uninstall/reinstall VMware Tools.  I tried twice but nothing helped. I am very new to the merger, but for now I'm very excited/impressed with the trial version - I just everything works fine!

  Sorry to ask 2 questions in once, but someone pourrait' one also point me in the right direction on how to remove my bootcamp partition and strictly use VMware so that I can create snapshots and free up hard drive space?

  OSX 10.5.6

  Windows XP SP2 (bootcamp partition)

  VMware Fusion 2.0.4

  MacBook 1st Gen 13 "Core Duo 2 GHz, 2 GB memory

  Thanks in advance for helping me!

  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.

• Boot Camp Assistant does not start the installer

  Hi all -

  I'm trying to install Windows 8.1 or 10 Pro on my mid 2015 Macbook Pro. I made this countless times on before Mac computers, including my 2013 previous Macbook Pro without problem. However this laptop seems to have problems during the process. Or I do something wrong and don't understand how it works now.

  I started Boot Camp Assistant, walking through the steps, divide the disk, etc. He began the restart process, then it restarted,... then I was back to my Mac. There was no indication that he was still something, but I let it sit for a few minutes. When I was confident it would do nothing, I decided to restart and hold down the 'Option' key on startup to select the Windows disk...

  OK just thought of this, but I will continue to write this question: Boot Camp Assistant request now an ISO standard. I still remember having to do this from a USB or CD player. I hold down the 'Option' and select the DRIVE or a CD drive but since I do not have either, I can't select it. I thought it was a problem in which nothing appeared on the screen except Macintosh HD.

  So I guess that the problem comes from my ISO file? I made them using the instructions from Apple of physical disks (Windows 7 and 8.1, but my laptop does not support 7). I will try to download Windows 10 Microsoft site, according to Apple.

  Anyway, I looked in the disk utility and found that BOOTCAMP was created successfully. I used Boot Camp Assistant to delete the partition and to combine the disc again. I then tried the whole process, once again, but with the same results.

  Still, I will try with a new ISO directly from Microsoft...

  Thanks for any input in advance.

  -Tony

  1. 2015 macs do not use a cable USB or CD/DVD to install Windows.

  2 creates a partition on the internal drive called OSXRESERVED and puts the content of the ISO and the drivers of BC on this 8 GB partition and boot from it.

  3. Please see https://help.apple.com/bootcamp/assistant/6.0/ for more details.

• Problems with Windows 7RC in the Boot Camp Partition

  I have Windows 7 RC (32-bit) running on a Boot Camp partition on a 2nd generation of MacBook Air.  When I try to load it in VMWare Fusion 2.04, I get a BSOD just after the "Starting Windows" screen finishes loading.  It says that Windows has detected a problem, try to restart and executes the boot system diagnostic tool, nothing helps.  I tried implementing VMWare using Vista and Windows Server 2008, 1280 MB RAM and 3D on and outside.  Any ideas?

  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.

  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.

• El Capitan and Windows 10 Boot Camp Assistant

  Hi, this is my first post so apologies if I've left out anything important. Let me know and I'll add the necessary details.

  Fast, I have been using Windows for years and I wanted to get into Apple and finally last month made the leap. I have a brand new MacBook Pro with 16 GB of RAM El Capitan - 10.11.4 running. However, I am having a lot of problems with the creation and installation of 10 Windows using Boot Camp.

  I had this work with Windows 10 times but made some fundamental mistakes. I resized the partition windows using a windows product so that I could add another partition. This seemed to work and I used it for a short time BUT when I tried to boot into El Capitan would not and that it would only boot Windows. After reading on what I see now that resize the windows from windows under Boot Camp partition is a no-no. lesson learned!

  To actually do things once again, I removed the windows partitions using disk utility. (Again I see now that it is an another no-no that I'd
  used Boot Camp Assistant to remove Windows!) Eventually however, I managed to get to El Capitan, working on the single partition, it is now again works fine and as far as I can tell without any problem.

  After having to go that if I went back to load 10 Windows using Boot Camp. All works until the final start in the section windows it:

  • Creates the separate windows partition
  • Load the ISO file
  • The Windows Support Tools downloads
  • Runs the ISO file and everything looks good... see below: (apologies for the poor quality of the screenshots)

  

  Then, during 'Finish Up', I get an error window:

  

  "Windows has no prepare the computer to start the next phase of the installation." To install Windows restart installation. »

  I tried many things such as to download the Windows ISO file again, running SNC and LANDAU after removing the Windows partition using Boot Camp Assistant and ensure that all other connections to the MBP is deleted except WiFi and get always the same message. As the whole process takes a few hours and tried to work through this for some days now, I would really appreciate some advice/help here for this issue very frustrating sorted.

  Thanks in advance

• Boot Camp Assistant 3.0 for Windows XP

  I need to install Windows XP on my Mac mini (compatible with Windows XP DVD early 2009) since it is the only OS that will run a specific software that I need. I have Snow Leopard disk but does not know how to access the wizard Boot Camp 3.0 (apparently the only one that works with Windows XP) on this subject. I am El Capitan 10.11.6 running and when I plug the drive, I have been informed that the Setup program no longer works. When I search "optional downloads" I can find no sign of Bootcamp 3.0. I would be grateful for all the useful tips for how to find 3.0 Boot Camp Assistant. Thank you.

  Configure Windows XP Boot Camp is possible in 10.6.8 and earlier versions. If you wish, use a program like VirtualBox to run it in emulation.

• 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.

• Miserable attempt to extend the Boot Camp partition

  Long story as short as possible - 2011 MacBook Air with SSD 256 GB internal. Originally divided 50-50 between OS X and Windows 7 using Boot Camp Assistant. Yesterday I needed more space on the bootcamp partition. I managed to make OS X smaller using the partition disk utility but Windows Disk Manager would not extend the Windows partition because the newly created free space has been before it, not after. Rather than use one of the appropriate options to move the Windows partition, I made the mistake of trying AOMEI Partition Manager to get it within Windows. Of course, 96%, it failed saying that the partition table has been locked and forced me to restart. After that, no partitions are bootable disk.

  I installed 10.11 on an external USB HDD to get the system started. In disk on the internal SSD flash disk utility, I see the Bootcamp partition always there (and can be fitted very well so it was moved successfully), but he does not see the OS X partition.

  

  Don't lose the content of the OS X partition is no big deal that I have a time machine backup, I can restore. But at this stage because the partition table is messed up, I can't reinstall OS X disk without blowing the bootcamp partition and I want to preserve as much as possible.

  In general, I am fairly computer-savvy, but completely green when it comes to partitions. I realize now that I should have followed one of the tried and true Mac-specific methods to do this. Mea Culpa!  Anyway, here is the output of the commands that I saw others provide:

• 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...
