10.5.8 updated killed Write/Update permissions on my Boot camp partition.
I can't figure this one out. I regularly "reach over" to my boot camp partition to move files from XP to my mac, and have automator scripts that also do that. Since the update, it no longer works either manually or via automator. I can read and copy stuff, but not move or delete. I've tried disk utilities, permission fixing, re-running the update with the combo updater instead of the "normal" way, and even reinstalling the OS and re-applying the patches, but its still broken. Kind of a hassle. Not sure what to try next. I've also run chkdsk from XP.
Still broken on 10.5.8, but 10.6 fixed it

How to update xp to sp3 on boot camp partition
I am running Windows XP via boot camp (only to use cad drawing program) Each time I try to update windows to SP3 I get the message that I have not got enough memory to do this ( or the update crashes and then uninstalls SP3 )The boot camp partition is 34 Gb as default The Imac has 3gb ram with a 320 hard drive memory what do I need to do to update to SP3 in order for bit defender 2012 to run
I have virtually nothing on the boot camp partition apart from the cad programme which I do not think is very bigAnything non-essential connected during the update ?
Like external harddisk, printer, scanner, etc.
If so, disconnect prior to starting the update.
Run a CHKDSK http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/c hkdsk.mspx?mfr=true before attempting the next update.
Maybe some error turns up.

All files on Boot Camp partition mysteriously erased after 10.5.3 update
My wife's MBP 2.4 was running 10.5.2 with a Boot Camp installation of Windows XP. The other night she upgraded to 10.5.3 and everything on her Boot Camp partition was erased somehow.
She spent most of the day working in Windows. During the day someone gave her a usb key with some photos on it that when she plugged it in to her computer something came up in Turkish (she is presently in Turkey) that her friend said she should just close the window and she did. She shut down and switched over to the 10.5.2 install, repaired permissions, and then ran software update to go to 10.5.3. I believe her Boot Camp is updated to the most recent version on the PC side. After the update completed she went to go back into Windows and could not start up in it. It turned out somehow everything on the Boot Camp partition was gone. The partition name was the same as it had been previously and it shouls as all of the space available. None of the material was in the Trash on the Mac side and she had quite a build up in the Trash folder - so it wasn't put in the Trash and then the Trash emptied. It was as if someone had reformatted the partition.
I would chalk this up to user error when she was in disk utility maybe or someone in her studio screwing around with her computer but the same thing apparently happened to one of her classmates shortly before leaving for Turkey. Anyone heard of this happening or have any thoughts?
I had her saving all data to the Mac partition so luckily no data was lost - we just need to reinstall the programs to the Windows partition.
Thanks!Nope, that didn't happen. The mbp has been loaded directly with Leopard since release day, and had few problems. I've done all the updates from 10.5.0 without any issues. But it was definitely something in the 10.5.3 update that hosed my video (or just a really, really strange coincidence and/or bad timing).
It's not just an OS driver, either. This is lower level than that, because I get NO video from a complete startup. There's no grey screen with the apple logo-- it stays completely blank. This almost surely means that the low-level firmware got corrupted or flashed incorrectly. The fact that the OS detects it as something completely different (Intel GMA X3100) supports this idea.
Thinking back, I did do the update with my laptop screen closed and using a 20" Apple Cinema Display, which is how I use the laptop 90% of the time. And in each of the previous updates, I'm certain they were installed similarly. I mention this, because someone else mentioned having the same issue as me, and noted that the update was done with an external display. Perhaps the firmware update is bugged so that if it doesn't detect the native display, it gets hosed...
I saw some other suggestions in another thread that sounded interesting. For instance, you can create a self booting CD on another Mac that reflashes the EFI (low level bios) to a factory setting. This could potentially fix it, and I would be willing to try it, if I still had my laptop.
In the future, just because things like this make me paranoid, I'll probably reboot the mbp and use only the native display before I do any updates...

Boot Camp partition not bootable after update
Hi All, hi Loner T!
After an OSX update I lost my Boot Camp partition. Reading you replies here on the forum, i was able to save my important files through testdisk, for what i'm really thankful! Following your instructions in this thread (Bootcamp disk0s4 gone after Yosemite update) the bootcamp partition finally appeared in finder and disk utility.
But sudo gdisk /dev/disk0 returns with this:
Kovacs-Peter-Attilas-MacBook-Pro:~ kovacspeterattila$ Sudo gdisk /dev/disk0
Password:
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.0
Warning: Devices opened with shared lock will not have their
partition table automatically reloaded!
Partition table scan:
MBR: protective
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: present
Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.
Command (? for help):
So if it is able i would avoid reinstalling windows, and all the applications with your help. I saw many people asking you about this case, so i hope you may can help me as well.
Thank you!Hi LonerT, I too have lost the ability to boot into windows/bootcamp - only Mac & recovery are displayed at startup.
Below are my results for the same set of instructions.
What does it indicate?
Thank you!

I've just set up boot camp on my MacBookPro with a freshly installed Mountain Lion and Windows 7.
I would like to read and write in both directions from drive to drive if possible. I've hunted around quite a bit to try and work this out, and so far I understand that one can write to or transfer files from one drive to the other with Paragon NTFS among other softwares.
I noticed when I looked in my system preferences the utility "Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X" came with Mountain Lion and it will recognize an external hard drive when I have one plugged in under "Available NTFS partitions:". However, it does not automatically recognize my NTFS boot camp partition nor does it automatically give me write access.
Is the Paragon NTFS that comes with Mountain Lion limited in some way?
Do I still need to purchase and download the software of the same name from Paragon to get the full write privilidges I want or is there something I can do to get the version of Paragon on my MAC to recognize and give me write priviledges to my boot camp partition?
I'm open to all suggestions to get the read / write access between partitions in my boot camped drive.
MacFUSE is also listed in the System Preferences of my machine (it also came with Mountain Lion), if that helps. I'm still working out exactly what each of these is supposed to do and how I can use it to accomplish the task at hand.
My boot camp drive does appear normally in other contexts and in disk utility it indicates that the drive is mounted.
Thank you for any guidance you can give me.Interesting. Comes with? you didn't have either before? Paragon is commercial and is now v. 10.0, they were the only one keeping updated and was supporting 10.7.4. I would not enable more than one.
For writing to HFS Paragon has theirs but probably give the nod to MacDrive there.
I never do an upgrade to a new OS over the old system, I backup (clone) and format the drive with the new OS and do the install so whatever is there I know is clean and also to keep from carrying around leftovers from years and systems past.
I would assme Paragon is limited. Try their site and knowledge base?

Software Update does not detect the upgrade of Boot Camp to 3.1 for Windows
I want to install Windows 7 HP 64 bit. I invoked Software Update so Boot Camp Assistant could be upgraded to ver. 3.1 that has Win 7 support. It said my system is up to date. I have Snow Leopard 10.6.2, but I still have BC 3.06, not the new 3.1.
When I went to Apple support site to download the new version in 64 bit, the download turned out to be a Windows executable file. I cannot install that in the MacOS. How do I get the necessary upgrade to 3.1 so I can use Boot Camp to dual boot. I have to install XP first so I can use my Windows 7 upgrade DVD.
ThanksThanks for your reply, but I am still confused about two things. First, how do I obtain the updated Boot Camp Assistant so I have the 3.1 compatibility for Windows 7? Second, I read in the Boot Camp guide that unless I have an earlier version of Windows already dual booting with OSX, that I should only install Win7 using the full retail DVD rather than the upgrade. I have an unused copy of XP and I already have the upgrade Win7 package, so I thought I would do a quick basic install of XP and then do a custom install of Win7.
Will Boot Camp react badly if I try to use the upgrade Win7 as you suggested, doing a custom install without entering the product key and then immediately reinstalling the upgrade over itself a second time?
Thanks, I really appreciate your help on this. I am very new to the Mac world. -
Disc Permissions for Vista (Boot Camp)
Hello everyone.
I installed Vista using Boot Camp today (I know, it's Vista, but oh well). Everything went well when I installed everything. Vista actually runs quite nice. However, I want to transfer files from my Mac HD to my Windows HD partition. So, in Leopard, I try to drag and drop files to the partition, but it does not allow me to do so because of disc permissions on the Windows HD. The permissions are set to 'read only'. Is there anyway I can change this in Vista or Leopard? I have googled and tried everything in regards to permissions and access controls, however everything only affects 'Sharing' (for example, it will let me do it over a network from another computer, but it won't let me transfer files over the partition on my iMac).
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciate. Thank you so much!Well, how do you want to change the Windows drive on your Mac desktop? renaming it? deleting it?
You won't be able to write to the Windows drive if it's formatted NFTS. There are third party applications like
http://www.chipchick.com/2008/02/ntfsfor_mac_os_x_is_a_must_have_for_boot_campusers.html
that will allow you to write to your NFTS formatted volume. -
Boot Camp partition corrupted after OS X Yosemite Recovery Update
As the written in the title, after installing the Recovery update i can no longer boot to Windows, the drive doesn't appear on either StartUp disk or on boot when holding the option key. Is there anyway to recover it? don't have a backup of it so my options are either fix it if possible or start from scratch.

When i hold alt at the boot process, i can select and boot windows but then a weird error windows opens, it tries to repair the problem automatically, fails and wants to restart the computer...
What can i do?

Windows disc does not update after resizing boot camp partition
When I bought my iMac, it came with a 500 GB HDD. I used bootcamp to make a 200GB windows partition and a 300GB Mac partition. The other day I bought a 250GB SSD, and moved everything from my 300GB Mac partition onto the SSD.
My plan was to use the whole 500GB HDD for windows. So, I deleted the 300GB Mac partition and made it free space on the drive. I then expanded the boot camp partition to take up the whole drive using Mini Tool on windows 7.
Now, windows 7 shows that my drive is 465GB, but when I boot into mac, the bootcamp hard drive still reads 200GB and 300GB are "free space" even though I expanded the drive using Mini Tool.
I tried to fix this by filling up the hard drive with an extra 120 GB so it exceeded the 200GB limit that windows shows. But when I booted back into OSX to see if it had worked, none of the files were showing up in the drive, making me believe that boot camp and OS X are not reading changes I am making to the bootcamp drive when I use Windows.
How can I change this so Disk Utility shows the full size of the disc, like Mini Tool does?
I will try to upload screenshots soon.Re-sizing Windows partitions is not supported on Bootcamp. It requires a clean install. The other option is using Winclone.
Boot Camp 5.1: Frequently asked questions
How can a Windows partition be resized after Windows is installed?
You need to delete the Windows partition using the Boot Camp Assistant, and start over to change the size of the Windows partition. Back up your important Windows files first. -
Can't update Windows XP SP1 to SP3 via CD to run on Boot Camp partition
I have just partitioned my Mac HD via Boot Camp - with a 42GB Windows XP partition to run a program not available for Mac. The Windows XP (retail version with license) I purchased came with SP1 "upgradeable to SP3 for free" after purchase.
Now the conundrum: I can't get online via Windows XP to upgrade the SP without installing the Boot Camp files from the OSX DVD. The Boot Camp files won't install onto the SP1 partition. And I can't upgrade to SP3 from a CD. (When I download the SP3 (have also tried SP2) onto my Mac HD, copy to CD, start the Windows XP partition, and attempt to install — I get an error: "setup requires 4 additional MB of of free space...") The installation is trying to go onto the C: drive that is 42GB, so the 4MB error can't be the real problem. I have tried installing to several other folders besides the default (ServicePackUninstall) folder, all on the C: drive and got the same error.
Any suggestions would be welcome.XP SP1 will not install on bootcamp, SP2 is the minimum. As your upgrade is 'post-install' it won't work. May I ask why you are installing a largely unsupported 10 yr old OS? Win7 is really much better.

After updating windows 8, I can't find boot camp.
Now how can i restart iMac for Mac os?
Startup Manager Option
Startup keys Intel Macs
and you can try zap PRAM
Apple Support Safari
Safari Windows
Safari
Lion OS X Communities
You can uninstall extenstions, turn off plug-ins.
On Windows you need to use some form of reliable malware prevention but nothing can stop human error.
and you might want to give your son a standard, non-admin account for Windows and Mac OS -
I ran into issues getting a customer's 24" inch iMac 6_1 (2007) to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 with a stop at Vista along the way to preserve programs.
The Vista to Windows 7 jump failed and rolled back to Vista so some of the steps needed were:
Upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6
Update Vista to Vista SP2
Upgrade to Boot Camp 3.0 (boot into Vista and open the Snow Leopard DVD) - NOTE: other updates won't work without 3.0.
Then it got fun.
I downloaded the 3.1 updater form teh Boot Camp downloads offered by Apple.(http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macoscomponents)
Trying to update Boot Camp drivers to 3.1 gave the error:
"Boot Camp Services: The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2753."
Some solutions said to reinstall BootCamp but Boot Camp was not found in the "Programs and Features" control panel.
I was also told that deleting c:\windows\system32\AppleOSSMgr.exe (maybe renaming it would do?) would bypass this error but this file was not present.
Faulty install from teh OS 10.6 DVD? (copying the files and folders from DVD to local disk may work better. Didn't try)
On an act of desperation I booted into Vista and ran START > Programs > Apple Software Update and Apple Software Update knew 3.0 was installed!
It was able to update just fine.
After reboot, "Apple Application Support" and "Boot Camp services" were listed in Programs and Features.
Boot Camp control panel was listed, but would not launch "Application not found."
Apple Software Update offered me Boot Camp 3.1 again, so I'm going to try the 3.2 updater from the downloads page. (May try to "Repair" Boot Camp 3.1 from Programs and Features" control panel as well)
Also note there is a Windows 7 upgrade utility/patch offered there for anyone moving from Vista.
Maybe this was an obvious fix for the 2753, but I might save others ten minutes.
Meta search terms:
(missing absent add remove programs control panel corrupted installer see can't cannot find faulty failed failure partial vista windows bootcamp upgrade 3.2 update updater)Critical to the Vista - 7 upgrade was disabling startups and services that were not Microsoft.
The Win 7 was booting for teh first time and choking on one of these services.
After 7 succeeded, I did a complete backup, updated windows completely and started adding back the services. Nothing vital seemed to kill it. The updates may have been important but you can't get to them if the initial upgrade fails because of teh service-related crashes.
After that, I fixed audio with the Realtek drivers.
The Magic Mouse still isn't working, but maybe I can write back with that since the web lit is dicey. -
Boot Camp Corrupted after 10.7.1 update
Win7 was running fine before I updated my 2011 mini from 10.7 to 10.7.1... now Lion doesn't even see the Boot Camp Partition as a bootable drive. So, it must be corrupted. Do I have to reinstall Windows for the 3rd time? Any solutions?
I figured it out! It was NOT the 10.7.1 update that killed Boot Camp! You know that one little thing you did and forgot about.... I loaded Paragon NTFS for Mac. Big Mistake. I went into System Prefs and disabled it. VOILA, Boot Camp majically shows up as a boot drive again. And Paragon says its Lion compatible, HA!

Boot Camp Assistant won't work - keeps asking me to use Software Update.
I am trying to use Boot Camp to install Windows but my Boot Camp Assistant won't work - it keeps asking me to use Software Update. So, even though I know everything is up to date, I start Software Update and it confirms that indeed everything is up to date. I try Boot Camp Assistant again, but the same message appears. I search every possible Boot Camp upgrade to download from Apple but they are all .exe files and need Windows to run, so those don't seem to be what I need. So I am caught in a circle of nothing working. Figures - the ONE weekend I need to install Windows and use a Windows-based program!!! And of course Apple support is closed over the weekend - another great asset to spending thousands of dollars on a product. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
I too am having a similar problem. I am trying to install Windows in a newly created Boot Camp partition. I have Windows 7 but Boot Camp Assistant only mentions XP and Vista. I put in my installation disk of Windows 7 but it refuses to install it. My OS is fully up to date.

Boot camp update affecting bluetooth?
Hi,
Last night I was using Windows Vista on my boot camp partition and I got the Apple Software update letting me know there was a new version of boot camp available. When I finished my work I set it to update and everything seemed to go smoothly.
Today I've booted up windows and my Logitech V470 bluetooth mouse doesn't work. Windows sees it. I've removed it and reconnected it fine, but the pointer doesn't move when the mouse does.
I've also tried to connect my iPhone over bluetooth and that is also seen by Windows. I seem to be able to pair the devices OK, but when I then try to get my iPhone to connect to Windows it fails.
Any ideas what has happened here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.After playing around with the settings in Control Panel and rebooting a few times, my mouse has sprung back into life. My iPhone still won't connect.
Dunno what's going on, but at least I can work again now.
