Windows 7 smaller size of the boot camp partition

Hello world

IM pretty new to mac and here next week, I want to buy the mbp 13 "retina 128 GB of storage. im a student of college and also the study, I might also want to play games and found that mac offer boot camp for w7. with my 128 GB of storage, which would be the smallest size of my partition w7, including some games total about 20 GB? 50 GB w7 partition would be enough?

Thank you very much

Hi Ashcroft:

This is a technical note on installing Windows 7 on Bootcamp. Install Windows 7 and previous versions on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support

My personal opinion is that 128 GB is perhaps not large enough even without installing Windows 7.

The new Macbook Pro is not really scalable. Memory is soldered in and the PCIe SSDS are very expensive. Also if you open the back of your computer to upgrade the SSD, you could void your warranty.

If you read some posts there are a few from today on people who want to spend 500 GB SSD as they meed more space.

So I consider getting more than 128 GB.

Just my opinion.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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)

    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

  • Where did the Boot Camp partition goes after VMware?

    Hi all

    When I was with Boot Camp the last time, there was this partition called "Untitled" on my desktop Mac, which is the partition for Windows XP.

    After using VMware Fusion for the Boot Camp partition, the "Untitled" icon disappeared from my office.

    Can I know what happened to that partition?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    A single operating system can control one partition at a time.  If the Boot Camp partition is disassembly of OSX and mounted in the VM when you start the virtual machine.  When you shut down the virtual machine, the Boot Camp partition should be resumed to OSX.

    Hi all

    Let me start of by saying I am new to Apple computers and I mainly used Windows or Linux operating systems.  Let me describe the problem.

    One of my friends asked me to install Windows on their mac, after running Boot Camp by selecting my ISO, and allocation of 32 gigabytes for the Windows partition, it started downloading the required software.  After completing download he began to partition the hard drive, about 15 to 30 seconds in partitioning computer crashed.  When I turned the computer on the partition was gone and the usable space was smaller.  After looking around on the forms, I found a solution using the command:

    diskutil repairDisk disk0

    It restored the main partition to its original size.  I've not run Boot Camp once again because I'm afraid it will crash everything simply.  I found the error report and I'll it paste it here:

  • 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.

  • 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.

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:

    So it is possible to get the disk to the point where I could reinstall OS X on it without harming the existing bootcamp partition (as well as create a bootcamp partition begins once more)?

    Thanks in advance for an expert, you can provide.

    Yes. Please download GPT Fdisk to https://sourceforge.net/projects/gptfdisk/ and we can fix it. Your 2 GPT entry should be from 409640 and GPT 3 should start 82204605.

  • Chaos of partition after you remove the boot camp partition

    Hello guys,.

    After that I was updating win10 with the new update... that was a bad idea... I tried to do a clean install of it.
    After failing to do so hard, im really stuck and don't know what to do:

    boot camp will not let me delete, they 3rd option is still grayed out. so I deletet with tool drive and tried to install win10 via boot camp several times - it does not work because that is always something worng with the partition I chose to install it.

    No, I think I really messed up my partitions and I don't really know what to do anymore, so I post this:

    Disconnect external drives until Windows is completely installed.  If you are prompted for a USB key, use only a not a USB HDD, flash drive.

    You seem to have deleted the partition of BC using disk utility, which is not a good idea. Do not mix BC Assistant and disk utility.

    Perform the following two procedures after each failed attempt.

    In the current state, disk1s4-disk1s7 should be merged into one FAT32 partition, if you want to re - use for BC/Windows.

  • Missing from the Boot Camp partition

    Hello

    So, my question, I can't find my my mac partition after you use the thing to boot camp to install windows on my system, but after the installation, my computer laptop bugged out and returned to the regular Mac OX. But my window and the whole score disappear and now I have only 88 GB of storage.

    Did you start the installer of Windows? Otherwise, since OS X Terminal after the release of

  • 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.

    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. "

  • 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.

    Well, I wouldn't mind a call to Microsoft if they'd let me activate both, but don't want to waste our time if they would certainly not.  Anyone try this?

    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.

    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...

  • Windows 10 education and problems of Boot Camp 6.0.1

    I try to install Windows 10 on my (2.7/8 GB / 256 GB) 2015 13 "rMBP El Cap 10.11.2 running and I do not know how to do in this regard. The first time, I used a regular Windows 10 .iso and it for some reason some wouldn't let me put my education product key in. He told me to remove my USB which held the .iso image file and restart my Mac. Fact that, except it wouldn't let start me in the Boot Camp partition after. Deleted the partition and reformatted my main drive of OS X.

    On the second attempt, I downloaded the image file .iso Windows 10 real education of the official academic site of MSFT. I get into Boot Camp, search for the file, set the size of the partition and click on install. It is said he needs an .iso of 64-bit, which I guarantee I have downloaded, as the name of the file has x 64 in it. I tried installation + 5 times and now it keeps giving me this message: "Boot Camp only supports installation of 8 or a later version of Windows 64 bit on this platform." Please use an ISO for 64-bit Windows 8 or later installation file. "What's the problem? Do I need to install the standard Windows 10 .iso image file and then upgrade to education edition once I get to the desktop? It was only to take less than an hour, and now it's happening 2 hours!

    1. the MD5sum of the ISO, make sure it is not corrupted during the download.

    2. teaching can be problematic.

    3. after each attempt to install Windows, run

    4. your model uses an OSXRESERVED partition, not a USB port. If the USB key contains the ISO (a single file, not a Windows Installer), copy it to your documents folder and let the BCA to serve. Do not open the ISO in the BCA process.
