  I have been using Fusion to open my Boot Camp with Vista Ultimate installed partition.  It worked fine for months.  Suddenly, I get a windows Boot Manager error.  The message says that some required files missing.  Here's the weird: I can open the Visa using Boot Camp partition.

  Any ideas?

  Note: These steps assume that you have a default Apple installation of Windows and a VMware Fusion Boot Camp Virtual Machine default partition and if you changed the Boot Camp partition the 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 Virtual Machine package first.

  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 remove the Boot Camp Virtual Machine meta-data partition. Note: This does not affect the Boot Camp partition to install Windows. Also make sure that you copy the entire command below "rm" line at the beginning of the ' (quote) after the p in the Camp. "

  RM - dfr "/Users/$ the specified item was not found./Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines / Boot Camp."

  3. start Fusion (/ Applications/VMware Fusion.app) and select the Boot Camp partition on the library of the Virtual Machine window, and then click the run button.

  Notes: Then, an authentication dialog box appears. "VMware Fusion requires that you type your password." Enter your name and password, and then click OK. (It is necessary to remove the Boot Camp for the merge partition to access it directly).

  Then, we should see a Boot Camp partition message stating "VMware Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition to run as a virtual machine. This may take a few minutes. This occurs once. »

  When the virtual partition Boot Camp Machine starts for the first time after this VMware Tools may want or will install/update and restart the virtual partition Boot Camp Machine.

• Can I use an ORDINARY from Mac account to load a Boot Camp Partition?

  I read the following Article on loading a Boot Camp Partition to use as a Virtual Machine in VMWare Fusion:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1014618

  I understand that I need administrator privileges to load a Boot Camp Partition in VMWare Fusion.

  But can I use a REGULAR account (Non Admin), raise my admin privileges by entering a username Admin and the password and then load my Boot Camp Partition in VMWare Fusion?

  The Article seems to imply no. because it refers only to enter an Admin password.  There is no mention to enter an Admin username.

  Can someone confirm please if I can use an ORDINARY Mac account and load a Boot Camp partition in VMWare Fusion after entering a username Admin and the password.

  Or am I have to use MAC Admin account in the first place?

  When a non-administrator user accesses an Admin-level feature in OS x, the user is presented with a combination of user name and password to authenticate.

  Then, indeed, as long as you can type the user and passes an admin user, you should be able to use BootCamp with Fusion.

• 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

• Microsoft and Boot Camp partition

  Hey everybody! Yesterday I tried to install Windows on my MacBook Air 128 GB (latest edition) using Boot Camp. Boot Camp worked well, until in the middle to partition hard drive when the computer turns off. When I started the computer once again there was no sign of Windows anywhere. However, when I looked in my computer storage I have only 77GB available (the amount I selected for the mac OS during the partitioning, the rest of the space was for Windows). Online, I read that it's very easy to delete the partition, and that all you had to do was run Boot Camp again and restore the hard drive. However, when I try this I get the message that I must have at least 50 GB of free space available. I easily have enough space available when you include section partition that I can't access, but I don't have 50GB of space on the side of Mac partition. Does anyone have advice on how I should fix this problem? Is the only way I can to delete things as much as possible out of storage on Mac? I already tried this and remove as much as possible get to 50 GB of free space, including the section 'other '. What is the only way to proceed? If someone has any advice on how to remove unwanted useless in the section "others"? Thank you so much in advance!

• 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.

• Boot Camp Partition Storage

  I have a MacBook Air (13 inches early 2015), with a 1.8 Ghz Intel Core i5.  My OS is OS X El Capitan (10.11.13)

  I tried to install Windows 8.1 on Boot Camp. I went through all the steps, and it wouldn't let me install because the Boot Camp has not been formatted to NTFS. I restarted my Mac in order to repair, but whenever I try to log in a sort of code would jump upward and my Mac would break. I finally got and restored the storage of partition. When he had finished, a message said that it could not be restored. I don't think anything of it until I checked my storage and my Flash storage was 123 against 80, 53 GB have disappeared. Help, please!

• 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:

• Windows 10 could not locate the boot camp partition

  I'm trying to install 10 Windows on an iMac end of 2015 with a 512 SSD.  With the help of Boot Camp and an ISO of Windows 10, I am able to create the Bootcamp partition and the iMac restarts in the Windows of Windows installation. I enter my product key for my Windows 7 DVD and reach the screen showing partitions.  I select "disk 0 Partition 5 Boot Camp" partition and click on 'Format' according to the Apple support document.  The partition is then renamed to 'Drive Partition 0 5'.  When I select the next button, I get the following error message:- "we couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one.  For more information, see the Setup logs files'.  The Windows Installer does not progress.  I deleted the partition several times using bootcamp and restarted the installation and always get the same failure.

  Any advice on how to install Windows would be greatly appreciated.  Boot Camp 6 will let me install Windows 7 on the iMac and so I need to use Windows 10.  I guess the Windows 10 ISO downloaded from Microsoft will work with the Windows 7 product key and Setup seems to accept it.

  Please, disconnect all external storage devices to your iMac and run the following two procedures.

• 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

• Error: "Windows could not update the configuration to start the computer. Installation cannot move forward"during the installation of Windows 8 64-bit OEM System Builder on Macbook Pro for help using Boot Camp

  Hello

  I have a brand new Macbook pro and I bought the OEM System Builder of 64-bit Windows 8 driver in a store. My problem is that I have not only not able to install it using Boot Camp. At the end of the installation, a message appears with the following text "Windows could not update the configuration to start the computer. Installation cannot continue.

  I'm not really a tech guy but I also tried to download virtual box and the same error comes back.

  Can someone help me please?

  Thank you!

  Original title: Windows 8 64-bit English OEM System Builder

  The thread is old now, but it is for those who always have this problem.

  When I got the error, I cancelled and restarted the machine. I pressed the 'option' button when starting upwards and he grew the boot partitions. You should see a 'EFI Boot' partition. Choose that and you restart the installation process, but this time it works.

  Supposedly the boot EFI and WinInstall partition should do the same thing. Manually, select one or the other.

• How can I move XP on Boot Camp partition in a virtual machine on a new iMac?

  Yesterday, I bought a new iMac to replace an iMac Core Duo older. I was running XP on Boot Camp partition and using Fusion to access. As the new iMac custom supports XP on Boot Camp partition, I want to use VMWae Fusion to run XP in a virtual machine on the new computer. Is there a way to get the current state of XP (with all the security and the SP3 updates) now on my Boot Camp partition, more than one virtual machine on the new computer?

  No offense intended... Have you even read the linked web page and or documentation of Paragon go virtual?

  In short, could start the Boot Camp partition natively, install and run Paragon go virtual to create a Virtual Machine in VMware Boot Camp partition and run the resulting Virtual Machine with VMware Fusion on the new Mac.

  Then you can do what you want with the old computer after deleting the partition Boot Camp with Boot Camp Assistant as you can't keep physical installation on the old system if your running a virtual copy of it on another system without purchasing another license from Microsoft.  Also, you will need to reactivate Windows XP and other software that follows what material it was initially installed on the virtual machine.

  Note: You can even create a Virtual Machine from the Boot Camp partition with VMware Fusion in two different ways, or even to use VMware vCenter Converter such as the use of virtual Paragon to go however I strongly recommend using Paragon go virtual methods due to what I consider a major flaw in the way they create the virtual hard disk when you use the command import on the Boot Camp partition and a rate higher failure by using the other methods/software VMware VMware compared to Paragon go virtual.  For the non-technical user Paragon go virtual is the best way to go IMO and the entire process usually takes less time, then the methods of VMware.
