windows installation failed 8.1 via bootcamp

Hello

I tried to install a windows partition 8.1 on my macbook pro via bootcamp assistant. All of a sudden my computer restarted and the message "your computer restarted because of a problem." appeared on my screen. When I logged in I found that it was missing from my 40 GB storage and I couldn't find my windows partition 8.1 anywhere. It shows that my Flash storage has a capacity of 121 GB but my Macintosh HD shows only 80 GB capacity... Can someone help me with this and help me restore my mac to the way it was? Thank you.

* I am not very tech-savvy, so I apologize in advance if my explanation seems simplistic.

MacBook Pro (retina, 13-inch, early 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

The simplest and safest to return on your disk space is

1 backup OSX and all of your files - use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support .

2. boot into Internet recovery (CMD + Opt + R) - OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support .

3. click on Utilties-> disk utility and erase your entire internal drive.

4. restoration of OSX and your files - use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support .

This requires another external drive that can accommodate TM backup - backup disks that you can use with Time Machine - Apple Support .

  • (Redirected) 10 Windows Installer failed: no video display, screen, impossible to boot-to-use computer only black

    Hi all I recently upgraded from Dell s 660 Windows 8.1 for Windows 10 PC. That part went well, no problem.

    Then, I decided that I wanted to clean things up I did a Reset, delete all settings of Windows. This ultimately failed and I got an error message that the bootstrapper has been damaged. Computer would not boot successfully.

    OK, so I decided to do a clean install to solve this problem. See the Microsoft Web site and download a tool to create bootable USB stick with Windows 10 installation files

    Then I inserted the USB in the broken computer, restarted, and the installation begins without any problem. I got all the way to the screen where I choose which partition to install the OS on. I chose the right partition and clicked ok, then leaves the room for a few minutes. I came back and met with a black screen, but the computer still worked. I waited about 30 minutes, but there was no change, so I decided to restart.

    Given zero has not set the problem. The computer always starts and I see the hard drive activity light flashes from time to time, but I don't see anything on the screen. No DELL logo at the start as there were no past, no loading spinner, nothing... Pressing F8 does not seem to help, I can't get into the BIOS or anything. I tried with and without installation of Windows 10 bootable USB inserted, does not matter anyway the result is same - just a black screen.

    I guess it could be a hardware problem, but it feels like a very large chance that my error started to arrive for the 10 Windows Installer, so in my gut, I feel like this is probably a software problem, but I don't know. I've never had problems like that until the 10th of Windows Installer.

    I have tried both HDMI and VGA ports, nor work. It has integrated video, so these ports are directly on the motherboard. Any ideas on how to fix?

    2. You are able to install some other updates on the computer?
    3. You have security software installed on the computer?

  • can not start after the installation of 10 Windows via bootcamp OSX

    Hello, I need help.

    I tried to install 10 Windows via bootcamp, and I did it successfully with no problems. However, after the installation, I restarted my computer, hold down the option key and tried to boot into OS X, but it won't work. It would be a symbol that boot lead me to windows 10!

    all solutions? I do not have a backup of my files under OSX, I lose my files?

    NOTE: when I formatted the partition for windows, he said not bootcamp next to him, but it is clear that the partition that I had to format, it is the same size that I decided to make Windows when I was in bootcamp in OSX + it was empty at 100%.

    UPDATE 1: so I managed to get into the recovery of the internet and deleted the partition that had the windows and install OSX Marverix instead (temporarily) also, I fixed the hard drive MACINTOSH HD, but now I can't boot it at all when I press the option button during the priming of the mac. all solutions?

  • Windows 7 fails to install completely via Bootcamp on El Capitan

    Configuration information:

    iMac: 27-inch, late 2009, with an internal optical drive

    HDD capacity: 1 TB, 593 GB available (after Windows 96 GB)

    OS: El Capitan, 10.11.2

    Processor: 3.08 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo

    RAM: 8 GB

    Boot Camp: 6.0.1

    Windows 7 Professional, SP1, 64-bit

    My Windows 7 installation does not end, stopping somewhere on the last phase that says "end Installation." I had Windows 7 installed on my Mac before El Capitan has been installed and it worked fine (using the 32-bit version then - I tried too after the installation of El Capitan, but that doesn't work anymore). I did a fresh install of El Capitan that then tried to reinstall Windows 7, but nothing has worked, as shown below.

    I use Bootcamp 6.0.1 to install Windows 7 Professional (full version) on a DVD via the internal optical drive. Bootcamp does not offer the ability to select an ISO file. My selection select Bootcamp task shows that these two options:

    -Download the latest software from Apple's Windows support

    -Install Windows 7

    I chose the two options and had the software support installed on a 64 GB USB key. Since the only option after that install the software support is to stop BCA, I did. I've reopened BCA, deselected the option to download the support software and continued to install Windows 7, making the Bootcamp 96 GB partition. I chose Custom installation and formatted the drive Bootcamp. The Windows installer completes the list of things to do (copy files, extension files,...) and then recharge.  Start Windows appears, and the window displays "end installation. Now that there where begins the strange behavior, I think. It restarts again. After that the Windows splash screen comes on, the screen goes black for a few minutes and then he recharges. This happens once again, but restarting does not, as if it is hung. I even let it run all night just in case she needed some time, but I found that it is always hanging in the morning. The computer was still on and the screen was black. I rebooted by pressing and holding down the power button, Windows starts showing the splash screen becomes black and crashes. ... I started Windows in safe mode, and he says that he cannot complete the installation in safe mode. So it seems that I am stuck. During all this the USB is plugged.

    Is there something I need to do to have it complete the installation?

    Note that I tried to install Windows using Bootcamp several times, varying from one thing at a time. as the withdrawal of all external drives, physically disconnected from the internet (I'm using a USB adapter to Ethernet because my Ethernet port was fried during a storm), etc. I also tried different ideas that I found on the internet, but none for those who work.

    Thanks in advanced for any help.

    1 disconnect all USB/ethernet and storage connections.

    2. run the following two procedures

    Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support

    3 see also (they are different drivers mentioned in step 4).

    Boot Camp: iMac displays a black screen during installation of Windows 7 - Apple support

    iMac late 2009 Windows 7 drivers

    4. the drivers referenced in 3 are not the same thing as regular drivers Bootcamp/W7 referenced in install Windows 7 and previous versions on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support . The regular drivers are downloaded when you check the option to download the software in the BC Assistant.

    5. If this does not work, there is an extra step, which disables SIP El Capitan.

    This is not to point the finger at you, but it's very intriguing and fascinating as users using a 2009 (or older than 2013) Macs, wants to run W7 (from circa 2009), but running OSX El Capitan (2015). It may be due to the software requirements, ISU, Corporate guidelines, etc. And you're not the only one. I've seen users with Macs 2015 wanted to run W7 (but it is no longer supported).

  • Vista SP2 Installation fails (error 800706BE Code) via Windows Update

    I am running Windows Vista Business (32-bit) SP1 and I noticed that Vista SP2 is available for download by manually checking in Windows Update last night.  After having seen that it is a large download (more), I started the download, left my PC and left the House.  When I got home, my screensaver was away and when I attamped my password to disable the screen saver and see where I was in the process of updating, my password did not work.  Then I did a hard reboot but then could not connect under my admin user account.  I've then logged in as my wife (standard user - no password) and went to Windows Update where I noticed that the SP2 for Vista Installation fails (error 800706BE Code).  I spent most of last night and all today so far tried to solve this problem.  There are several problems here... When I click on "Install" in Windows Update, I get a message of "is not necessary: 1 update" (even when I look in the installed updates it says that the update failed).  If it is not necessary, then why is it listed as an important update that must be installed?  Endless loop... In addition, I'm not a password reset for my connection because I have a password saved on a flash drive.  Then I tried using all the older passwords that I remembered and none worked.  Shift caps lock was not on either.  I've logged in as my wife, went to the Microsoft Download page and eventually find the link to download the standalone version of SP2 Vsita, but after downloading the massive file, I didn't have the right to install it because I can not connect as an adminstator!

    (sigh) Can someone please help with this?  Thank you

    Naveen,

    Thank you very much for your suggestions!  Your suggestion of restarting, press F8 and choose "repair your computer" worked.  I was able to do a system restore and I chose a date where my old password was still in use (I had just been invited to change a few days before I tried to download Vista SP2).  In addition to losing my cookies and automatically complete IE8 - everything is back to normal.  I have not yet tried a 2nd try to SP2, and I'm very hesitant to do it now!

    Thank you once again!

  • Impossible to install 10 Windows via BootCamp on iMac 5K with Fusion Drive

    Hello

    I tried to install Windows 10 Professional via Boot Camp on my iMac 5K end of 2015 (version OS X 10.11) with a disc of the Fusion 2 to for about a week now. Right now I'm on my 4th or 5th try on Windows 10 installation on the iMac because each installation fails gives me an error that the drive is not formatted correctly or he couldn't find the score even though I have the selected in the list of available drives. I even went up to both to run the commands of the PART of the DISK from the command prompt in the area of troubleshooting Installer Windows 10 to format drive to NTFS instead of FAT32.

    Here are some of the mistakes that I received:

    1 Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. This space of hard disk is formatted with a version not support the NTFS file system.

    2. we could not create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup logs files.

    I used the Boot Camp configuration application (version 6.0.1) to create a USB key after you download the image ISO from Microsoft. The USB flash drive that creates the installer will start the iMac, but I can't get past the screen "where do you want to install Windows? I tried the merge disk partitioning ways without success, beforehand, because I thought that it could cause a problem. He was left as a full drive 2 TB, or divide the flash part away and seen the almost 2 to rotation and the merger of 128 GB (flash) portion and lucky either.

    I'm full of ideas on what to try... I have loaded Windows 7 Professional via Boot Camp several times and have never encountered a problem with Boot Camp with 10 Windows so far.

    Workaround I found that worked for me was to install

    Win7 Pro 64 bit.  Then created just the Bootcamp driver USB key

    (no operating system installer).  Next I went to do the upgrade of Win10 of

    in the environment of Win7.  FWIW, I also chose to not save

    anything (new installation).

    You will need to keep the installation to make sure that you press the Option

    key with multiple reboots (why Windows still insists on this)

    and select the Windows volume to boot from.  Once all the nonsense restarts

    were carried out and finally Windows was running, I plugged it in training camp

    driver USB key, install hardware drivers and everything was good to go.

    Now, it was on an old MacBook Pro, which does not officially have the Bootcamp

    support for WIn10 if the material is quite capable.

  • Cannot install windows via bootcamp (Imac Mid 2011)

    Hi, I struggled for the last 2 days and can't seem to find how to create a windows partition and installed it.

    Note: I have a 27 inch mid 2011 Imac and run MacOS Sierra 10.12.

    I have problems with bootcamp especially at the stage of the process USB drive.

    1. I do not understand why Bootcamp assistant 2 display only tasks being #1 download the windows software and #2 install windows 10 when all apple support pages show 3 different tasks available as here https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205016http ://

    2. I prefer to install windows 7 on my partition, bootcamp, however 'install windows 10', which means that I can't install an older version on my partition? I tried to install windows 7 via a win7 .iso file AND a win10 .iso but none of them works.

    3. whenever I try to install windows, the system do not recognize my USB (it would be with .iso win10 associated drivers or Win7 .iso. + drivers associated) and constantly asking for a disc to be inserted.

    My USB has been formatted through disk as MS-DOS (FAT32) volume and all utility used .iso comes from Microsoft. I don't understand why I can't have my. ISO recognized by the system.

    Help please :)

    This is normal and expected behavior. Your 2011 Mac does not support the USB Windows installation. You must use a physical DVD burned ISO. Your Mac does not officially support Windows 10. The ISO files are available at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/home .

    Documentation on Apple's site shows not all models. Please visit https://help.apple.com/bootcamp/mac/5.0/help/ for an older version (FC5).

    So I have to quit Setup and go back to Mac OS X and delete the Windows via Bootcamp partition:
