• Windows 8 start problem, due to an accidental installation of Windows XP on another partition

  I had Windows 8 Pro on one partition and Windows XP SP3 on another partition for some time and I could choose which start. I decided to remove Win XP and format the partition on that Win XP has been installed. I tried to do it by using formatting option Win XP CD that appears before installation; However, I accidentally installed Win XP on the same partition. The problem is that my laptop is no longer recognizes Win 8 and begins on Win XP. I was wondering if by any chance I could collect Win 8?

  Furthermore, the Win 8 partition is installed, is intact and healthy with all the files inside Windows. Also, I tried to update or reset the installation of Win 8 to help to win 8 DVD, however, it did not work; as a message appears saying that the drive is locked.

  I thank very you much for your time.

  Hey Amir,

  It seems that the boot loader is damaged. You need to install the earlier operating system first, and then install the latest operating system. If you do not have (for example, if you install Windows XP on a computer that is already running Windows 8), you can make your system unusable. This can happen because earlier versions of Windows do not recognize the startup files used in more recent versions of Windows and can overwrite them.

  As you have reinstalled Windows XP on a computer running Windows 8, it has destroyed the boot loader.

• Cannot start the Recovery Console Windows from the installation CD

  On my MacBook I ve running in VMware Fusion 3.0.1 a Virtual Machine with Win XP Pro.

  When I reboot Win XP Pro and start again from the Windows XP Pro installation CD, I can see the "Welcome" with the menu screen

  -To install Win XP now, press ENTER

  -To repair an installation of Windows XP using the Recovery Console, press r.

  -To quit Setup without installing Windows XP, press F3.

  When I click ENTER or R, I see the message

  -The installation program did not find any hard drives installed in your computer. Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup, press F3.

  Today the question? In the 40 GB of the virtual machine, I have two free partitions of 10 GB and 20 GB Win XP Pro execution. Why see Setup cannot process this partition?

  I ve also installed a second Virtual Machine, but the installation of VMware Fusion not show the "Welcome" screen, but it installs both Win XP Pro.

  The installation of the recovery in the virtual race Machine Win XP Pro Console is successful, but when I start the recovery in Start Menu Console, just the screen blue 0x7B (inaccessible boot device).

  What must I do, to start the Recovery Console in VMware Fusion? Or another question: when merging does support the Windows Recovery Console?

  Wow, nothing indicates that you use a German version of Fusion that your English is excellent.  Anyway as VMware headquarters is in the United States, like me, I always provide information in English and information-specific guidelines in the VMware Fusion help files come from the English version as well as any Documentation from VMware that I reference.  I say this next part as a general and not directed comment towards you, as you have noted your using the German version... Any person requesting help must always at least include technical information referencing manufacture, make, model, version, and language other then English, material goods and software involved in issues.  We'll find a good reference for the type of information that must always be included in HOWTO: ask (and answer) Questions.

  As a much get into the BIOS if you use the Fusion 3, you don't need to enter the BIOS to change the boot device as this can be done in the settings now however to enter the BIOS for other things that need/want of press you F2 directly after starting the Virtual Machine and after having clicked on the screen but the av VM boot so fast that it's easily missed.  You can add the following settings to the file of configuration .vmx of the Virtual Machine to slow down the startup so that force once in the BIOS.

  bios.bootDelay = "3000"
  bios.forceSetupOnce = "TRUE"
  

  The bios.bootDelay is in milliseconds and the bios.forceSetupOnce Boolean value is then set to FALSE, automatically.  Each of these parameters are independent of each other.

  You can find the following useful notes for this and or other uses...

  ====================

  Notes: keyboard

  Different setting function, you may need to adjust various preferences keyboard to work with the function keys and or use the Fn key.

  OS X > you may need to press the Fn + F6 etc. and this can be changed in system preferences > keyboard & mouse > keyboard > use all F1, F2, etc...

  Merger 1 > VMware Fusion (menu) > Preferences... > keyboard and mouse > activate Mac OS shortcuts keyboard

  Fusion of the 2 and 3 > VMware Fusion (menu) > Preferences... > keyboard & mouse > Mac OS shortcuts > activate Mac OS keyboard shortcuts

  ====================

  Notes: Starting the virtual machine from CD/DVD or ISO Image

  If the Virtual Machine is not initiating the CD/DVD or ISO Image, and then select the CD-ROM in the Boot Menu.

  Engage the Boot Menu and select the CD-ROM drive...

  The bottom of the virtual machine just above the status bar after the Virtual Machine is started, it has...

  "Press F2 to enter SETUP, F12 for the start-up network, ESC for Boot Menu"

  On the status bar, it features...

  'To direct entry to this virtual machine, click inside the window.'

  BIOS flashing by is very fast so you need to work quickly however give it a try and if the Start Menu cannot be higher then the configuration of the Virtual Machine file .vmx must be edited to slow the STATION and or change the boot order.

  OK, click the big Play button on the screen of the virtual machine, and then quickly mouse click in the Virtual Machine screen and then press the ESC key to bring up the Start Menu and select the CD-ROM drive. If it boots the CD very well and if the Boot Menu does not appear, because he goes just to quick access and then try again or...

  Watch the Boot Delay section in the current user's Guide to VMware Fusion and the section of the virtual machine files of A Beginner's Guide to VMware Fusion on when the configuration of the Virtual Machine's .vmx file is and add the following lines to the file. TextEdit can be used to edit the .vmx file.

  To give more time to indulge, the Start Menu Add the following...

  bios.bootDelay = "3000".

  For, once, force the VM in the BIOS to change the Boot order in the BIOS if the CD-ROM is first add the following...

  bios.forceSetupOnce = 'TRUE '.

  ====================

  Notes: By modifying the .vmx file

  For Fusion 2.x and 3.x ctrl-click the target entry of Virtual Machine on the windows of the library of the Virtual Machine and choose Show in Finder and then Ctrl-click on the packaging of the Virtual Machine and select to display the contents of the package.

  By default in the normal Fusion 1.x virtual Fusion function file are created in the folder "~/Documents/Virtual Machines" and according to host operating system version and or Fusion worm. There may be a .localized after Virtual Machines although by default, this extension is not visible in the Finder.

  ~ Is your Home Directory.

  The files that make up the virtual machine are placed in a folder (aka Bundle and or packing) bearing the extension '.vmwarevm' which, by default, this extension is not visible in the Finder.

  Example: "~/Documents/Virtual XP.vmwarevm Machines/Windows" in the Finder would just resemble an icon named "Windows XP."

  To view the contents of the entire file "Windows XP.vmwarevm" ctrl-click (or right-click) on the "Windows XP" icon and select Show the contents of the package.

  To change the configuration file of .vmx ctrl-click (or right-click) on the "Windows XP.vmx" file and select open with > choose another... then in Application choose TextEdit.

  Note: If you use Firefox do not copy and paste the parameters if TextEdit unless you copy only the exact line and nothing else in the case, use an editor such as TextWrangler.

  ====================

  Notes: Creating an ISO Image of the CD/DVD drive

  When you use utility disk in order to have a bootable ISO Image, you must select Master CD/DVD without encryption in which case by default, it will have an extension .cdr file and in version 1.1 of the merger and later does not need to be changed in .iso, although one can if one chooses to. A default .dmg image is compressed and is not bootable, as an uncompressed .dmg will start if changed in .iso and of course the source CD/DVD should be bootable in the first place.

  To create an ISO Image using disk utility...

  1 insert the CD or DVD disc into the optical drive of your computer.

  2. open disk utility (/ Applications/Utilities/Disk utility).

  3. Select the CD or DVD drive in the list of disks and volumes.

  4. Choose file > new > "Disk Image from (name of the disc)."

  5. type a name for the disk image.

  6. choose "DVD/CD master" from the Image Format pop-up menu.

  7 choose "none" from the encryption pop-up menu.

  8. click on save.

• Windows XP Installation problem with Windows 7 Starter home

  I was told that I would have no problem of family Windows XP Setup on a new computer comes pre loaded with Windows 7 Starter.

  When I insert the CD with Windows XP, I get the following:

  Run setup.exe

  I click on install Windows XP

  Program is blocked due to compatibility issues.

  Setup cannot continue because the version on the computer is newer than the version on CD.

  Anyone know how to solve this problem and install Windows XP?

  Thank you Don

  Hello

  I understand that you want to install Windows XP on Windows 7 Starter Edition.

  (1) is the retail Windows XP version or OEM version, you are trying to install?

  Unfortunately, this is not possible. As the operating system installed on your computer is newer than the operating system you are trying to install.

  To resolve this problem, you need to do a clean install to install Windows XP, and you try to run Windows 7 Setup, it will not work. So, I suggest you to boot from the XP CD (if necessary, first change the boot order in the BIOS) and follow the instructions for a clean install. It will initially format the drive for you, so make sure you back up everything you don't want to lose to external media first.

  I hope this helps. Try the above steps and get back to us for assistance. We will be happy to help you.

• Bootcamp/windows 10 Pro installation process fails

  Machine: MacBook Pro (retina, 150inch, Mid2015)

  El Capitan, 10.11.4

  Processor 2.8 GHz 16 GB Mem

  New MacBook with an instance of Time Machine saved from previous MacBook Pro

  Trying to install fresh Windows 10 Pro 64-bit image on a new 130GB partition created by Bootcamp.

  1. I ran bootcamp.
  2. Bootcamp Assistant downloads the drivers Windows and 'medium '.
  3. Bootcamp Assistant creates the disk partition, and then switches to Windows (no need USB), Windows.iso image is very good by Bootcamp.
  4. "Windows Setup" starts its thing.
  5. Screen 1: I am asked to confirm the installation, and accept the license.
  6. Screen 2: I enter my license key Pro 10 MS Windows in the form of xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
  7. Screen 3: not below, program installing Windows says "no images available.

  

  The Windows Installer will not leave here, and I interpret that as he cannot locate a disk image for installation of.

  I searched these forums a bit to find answers. I tried to copy the file Windows.iso on an external USB drive and that the selection as the source image and even the achievement of results as shown above.

  I looked at the menu "Actions" in the Bootcamp Assistant and that the only available element is 'Download Support Windows software' or something similar. I did and saved a folder on my Mac desktop, but it is nothing new.

  I have reset the PRAM with Cmnd-Option-P-R and the MSC with the Shift-command-Option-Power button. Once again nothing.

  Between each attempt, I'm in the Bootcamp Assistant and remove the Windows Partition of my drive.

  If anyone knows why the Windows Installer cannot find the ISO file or what steps I must take to install Windows Pro 10, I should be grateful if you would hear about it.

  Thank you.

  Followed, after contact Apple support, by sending in diagnosis and return just GENERALS of Apple engineers... I did a thorough cleaning of my PowerBook. Using the command-R during restart, started in Recovery Mode or what it's called, used the disk utility, wiped and formatted the drive. Made a new fresh install of OS X el Capitan. Updated. THEN, I installed Windows with BootCamp Assistant. The process worked. My hunch is that use Time Machine to power my new machine was the culprit. I am betting that Time Machine copied on the parameters of my previous machine (a mid-2011 Powerbook), on this new Powerbook from 2015. That's the only difference. So it is now resolved.

• NB300 - Windows 8 start problems

  I have recently installed windows 8 on my Toshiba NB300 and everytime I turn on the computer with the power button, the computer turns off a few seconds later.

  Only on the second attempt Windows 8 starts normally, giving me the indication of an error.
  This happens the first time I turn on my computer with the power button.

  I appreciate your help to solve the described problem behind.

  Hello

  How did you install the 8 Win?
  You've improved the Win 7 to 8 Win or you did a clean installation?

  It might be possible that some pre-installed drivers or tools are not compatible with Win 8 and therefore, there is a problem when starting.

• Cloned Partition Windows not start (Winclone)

  Hello

  I spent last night couple with this problem and just can't fix. I need Windows on my 2008 iMac, but I replaced the optical drive with an SSD, so I can't install it via the original DVD. Installation via the USB does not work either because it does not support the 2008 iMac. So, I used Winclone to clone the Windows Partition of my Macbook Pro and restored on my iMac. But it does not start. At boot on the Windows partition, I get the famous black screen with the blinking cursor.

  I read that you can make this partition bootable by selecting "Allow Legacy bootable" of Winclone. I can't do that because Winclone always says that SIP should be disabled. I've disabled (State of csrutil in the Terminal says it is disabled), so I do not understand why Winclone won't do.

  Does anyone knows how to solve this problem with Winclone? Or do I have to use another way to make it bootable?

  Thank you

  Tim

  Have you run SysPrep on Windows of MBP installation before trying to restore? What is the year of the MBP? What version of OS X makes the installation Windows come and what version of Mac OS X is being restored to?

  SIP requires that you turn it off before starting a restore Winclone.
