Boot Camp partition not listed in Windows Setup

I am trying to install Windows 7 with DVD and I used the Boot Camp assistant 5 run in OS X Mavericks (10.9.1). Everything was copied with  latest drivers, created Boot Camp partition. After that Mac restarted  and booted into the windows installation. I run install process and it  says something like: "Any media were not found." No drive found here. So in this stage my  install journey ends. If I going back to OS X  and check Disk Utility, the Boot Camp partition is there. So I don't  understand why the installation can't find any partitions even drives.
any solution for case this ?

you need to install windows support software on a usb 2 flashdrive. more simply, start over in bootcamp, insert your usb drive as well as the dvd, check all 3 options. bootcamp will do the rest.
or it could be a problem with the install disc, why not download win 7 iso from here;

and go with this, its perfectly legal to use your activation code during instalation.

  • Boot Camp partition not listed in Windows XP setup menu

    My macbook hard drive is 230 GB, and I made the Windows partition to be 100GB in Boot camp assistant. When I ran Windows XP Setup, my boot camp partition was not listed in the menu, just my entire hard drive. The setup disk I am using is Windows XP Home Edition SP2, so I know it's not compatibility issue. I tried it again at least 3 times, and it didn't work. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

  • Boot Camp partition not found by Windows installer

    So I switched up to Leopard this morning with a fairly smooth Archive and Install.
    I've got an XP Pro SP2 CD raring to run some Windows games, so I give Boot Camp Assistant a whirl. I create a 15 GB partition using the Assistant, and it reboots with my XP CD. XP goes through all of its driver loading, and I get past the disclaimer screen. But on the setup screen, where partitions are supposed to be listed, the only partition I see is my 130 GB OS X partition, and nothing else.
    I can see the 15 GB Fat32 partition labeled BOOTCAMP in both Leopard, and with a liveCD version of FreeDOS, so I know it's actually there. But the XP installer, for some reason, cannot see it.
    Anybody encounter this? Anybody know what I can do? I'm hurting for some Orange Box action.

    Yes, purchase Paragon Camp Tune for the job.

  • Windows 7 will only install on an NTFS Formatted disk: boot camp partition not formatted right?

    I recently tried to install windows 7 on my Macbook (early 2008 white). Boot camp made the partition and I even got to the Windows install screen, but the partition made by boot camp could not be used to install windows on, because it was in the wrong format, evidently (Error: windows can only be installed on a NTFS disk, or something like that). I tried to find someway to reformat the partition in disk utility, but I don't see anything that could change the format. Please help! (If there isn't a way to fix this, is there at least a way to delete the partition? It's rather annoying having 100 gbs of your harddrive just siting there, unable to be used)
    And just a side question, does it matter whether you install Windows 64 bit or 32 bit? The printed-out boot camp guide said only the 32-bit version, but it didn't include anything about Windows 7)
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    Windows 7 needs its system to be installed on a NTFS formatted partition.
    There 's no way to use FAT32 as file system for this.
    Pages 8 - 10 of the BootCamp Install Guide http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ describe how-to reformat the partition to NTFS during the Windows installation.
    Officially 64-bit Windows 7 is not supported on a 2008 MacBook.
    However, there are instructions to be found on how-to do it nonetheless.
    Regards
    Stefan

  • 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 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?

  • Boot Camp partition not showing in startup disk or when holding alt key

    I've read countless discussions about similar questions to this one, however, I still haven't been able to find any solution.
    I have an old 2006 MacBook that has just been fully updated and reformatted. I'm running OSX 10.7.5 and Boot Camp 4.
    I went through the Boot Camp installation from an Windows ISO image in my usb drive, where it succesfully downloaded all files needed, and prompted me to make the partition, after which it restarted and was supposed to take me to the installation manager in the Windows partition. I first got the "No bootable driver" error, to which I read I was supposed to restart the computer, hold the alt key, and choose the boot camp partition. However, it does not show up. I only get Mac and Recover drivers.
    I went into the Mac's startup disk, and only the Mac driver is showing, no Boot Camp driver, however, when I go into Disk Utilities, I can see that the BootCamp driver there.
    I read somewhere that I should zap pram and reset SMC, which I did with their instructions. It didn't change anything, I still only get the Mac driver and Recovery when hitting the alt key.
    Does it have something to do with my MacBook being older? That's the only reason I can think that would not allow me to do this.
    Let me know what other info I can give you so that you can please help me!! Thanks in advance!

    In last resort I solved my missing BOOTCAMP partition problem using a program called: iPartition from coriolis systems located in the United Kingdom http://www.coriolis-systems.com/iPartition.php it took me a coupleof days to figure out the credit card system they have Hint: use your 9 digit zip code to find your credit card address and call your bank if you have an overseas hold on the card!!!! The program found my missing BOOTCAMP partition and restored it. It did take a couple of e-mails to learn to use their program. Let me know how you turn out!

  • Windows Boot Camp partition not showing up on Startup Disk in Snow Leopard

    Dear Fellow Mac Heads,
    I have Windows 7 RTM installed as Boot Camp in one partition and Snow Leopard 10.6.1 installed in another. In Windows, the Boot Camp icon shows everything (i.e. Network, Windows 7, and Mac OSX Snow Leopard) so I can switch back and forth as I please. But in Mac OS, the Startup Disk menu under Systems Preferences only shows the Mac partition and Network. Windows 7 is nowhere to be found. I can't even do the OPTION on keyboard boot to get into Windows. I have to shutdown the machine, restart while holding onto OPTION key before all partitions show up. What's wrong with this picture? Is this happening to anyone else? Thanks in advance.

    Maybe you are using something like NTFS-3G?
    Maybe this thread has something for you...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2146363&tstart=30
    Oh, sorry I just noticed that you have read or posted in that thread, but didn't like the answer?
    You get strange results with many 3rd party products. I don't use Bootcamp at all. Parallels 4 works very well with Snow Leopard and none of this booting back and forth hassle. Windows is just for research, use the Mac side for performance.

  • Boot camp partitioned 32 GB for windows, but windows does not recognize it.

    Tried today to install Windows XP on the Mac (hard disk = 320 GB) with Boot Camp 2.0.
    Started the partitioning and left 20 GB for Windows, Boot Camp asked me to insert the Windows disk and start the installation. The computer started, the (ugly) Windows installation screen appears asking me if i want to install windows, repair windows or quit the installation. I continue with the installation and then it asks me which disk needs to be formatted. I saw only one option (red flag number 1) and moreover, this option stated that the disk mentioned was more than 132 GB (red flag number 2). Ignoring the red flags and quitting the installation, I continued. I formatted the disk and so on. All seemed to be going well. Then the computer restarted but ended up being in a loop (entering the windows installation screens and restarting the computer). It took a while till I figured out how to stop this loop and with the installation disc of Mac OS X I found out with disk utilities that the whole disc had been formatted (oh no!). With disc utilities I managed to format the whole disc again to make it suitable for a clean installation of Mac OS X and corrected the mistake which had been made.
    Now - more cautious - having the clean Mac OS X installed I tried it again. This time I let Boot camp create a partition of 32 GB for Windows. Again I put the installation disc of Windows in the Mac and started the installation. Again, however, the Windows installation showed one disc with 132 GB on it. This time I quit the installation leaving it the way it is. The computer restarted and I let it boot into Leopard with the Alt/option key. There I see that Boot Camp seems to have done a good job. The 32 GB disk (MS Dos, FAT32) exists as a partition and there seems nothing to be wrong with it.
    Who knows how to solve the problem with Windows which does only recognize one disc of 132 GB? Or who knows why the windows installation recognizes this as such?

    This problem is caused by a Windows XP install disc without Service Pack 2.
    How to solve this problem?

  • Can the boot camp partition be resized once windows is installed and running as virtual machine using vm fusion ware?

    I have macbook air partitioned 505/50 and running OSX and win 7 side by side as virtual machines using vm fusion.  Can the partition size be changed without starting over?

    Very helpful.  I started with vm ware to create a pseudo drive but could not import win 7 over home network.  mac has no immediate way to connect to network without adapter, and has no cdrom.  So i used boot camp to create partition, then made a bootable win7 iso file on a memory stick using win 7 usb/cdrom download tool from microsoft, and rEFIT to get mac to boot from the mem stick into the dos partition.  Then i ran vm fusion to import the win 7 partition as a virtual machine.  OSx and win 7 run side by side.
    Seems from what you say that sizing cannot be accomplished without deleting partition and starting over.  If I start over and just run vm fusion to create he win7 virtual machine, not sure how I would bet the minimum win 7 os into the ac.  Perhaps vm will boot from the mem stick using refit.  Do you know?

  • Snow Leopard, boot camp partition not mounting.

    Hi all,
    I have a system that was leopard, and I installed Bootcamp with Windows 7 64bit. Was working well until I upgraded to Snow Leopard.
    The Bootcamp partition is not being seen in Snow Leopard. I can, however, hold down the option key on the Mac and select the window 7 partition to boot from.
    I have looked through the forums but haven't really seen this issue addressed, or if It was, then I didn't see it (so sorry.)
    Please any advise or help would be great.
    John

    Is it on the same drive?
    On Mac Pro, I would not, I'd keep them separate.
    With ANY OS update/upgrade (10.5. -> 10.6) I ALWAYS reformat and initialize the drives first before installing - there are changes to partition tables, and while some systems are fine, you should have backups for both Windows and Mac OS before you began, too.
    Other than repairing Mac OS, and checking that you aren't using NTFS driver, and everything is up to date and SL-compliant... and you can set the default in 7 to reboot back into 7 or OS X.
    4-core... does that mean 2006? or 2009?

  • Can't see Windows 7 Boot Camp partition from Mac

    I've had a Win7 boot partition on my 2011 MBP for a while and it boots just fine. I have a Mac boot partition, a Mac data partition, and a NTFS Win 7 partition. But the Boot Camp partition is greyed out and invisible when booted in to the Mac.
    When in Windows, I can see and use the Mac partition from Win7 with MacDrive. The problem is that I cannot see the Windows partition from the Mac. I have Paragon NTFS for Mac installed as well as MacFuse. I tried to see the partition with CampTune and got this error:
    I also tried going to the BootCamp Assistant and saw this:

    Does anyone know if I can repair this without having to re-format? I have a 13" White MacBook as well and this setup works just fine. I did it such a long time ago that I forgot how I did the first one.
    There is another thread on here that similar but not quite like my problem because I ca actually boo into Windows.
    If anyone can help it would certainly be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Randy

  • Windows install doesn't like my boot camp partition

    I am on a late 2013 MacBook pro, retina display, running yosemite. I am attempting to run windows 7 through boot camp. I followed all the instructions on apple support websites, using a USB drive and my downloaded ISO image of windows 7 professional. I partitioned it with 40 GB for windows, and boot camp restarted and launched into windows setup. After selecting language and which version of windows 7 I wanted, it asked which partition I wanted to install on. I selected the 4th partition, the one labeled boot camp. I formatted it, as in the instructions, and then when I hit next, this message appeared.
    "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the setup log files for more information."
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, and apologies if I missed this solution in another thread or and missing something simple.

    Hello, I have the same problem as OP and I seeing as he hasn't replied in some time, I'll go ahead and give you my results.

    Does this tell you anything? I'm needing to have a windows partition on my Mac for my CS classes, but I would very much prefer to not have to use Parallels.
    Thanks for your time.

  • My boot camp partition does not recognize inserted discs

    I am running OSX 10.5.8 and have a Boot Camp partition set up with Windows XP.  The Windows partition works fine, but no longer recognizes when a DVD or CD is inserted.  The disc does not appear in the My Computer folder, even though the drive is spinning.  The eject button does not function to eject the disc, and I have to shut down the Windows partition, boot up in the Mac partition to eject or see the disc contents.
    This prevents me from installing any software on the Windows partition.
    Any suggestions?

    Years ago there were issues with "Gear" software drivers preventing DVD/CD from working.

  • Backup to TImeCapsule including Boot Camp partition

    I used Boot Camp to install Windows 7 Professional on my new MacBook Air, and have now got Parallels Desktop 6 for Mac working OK with a Windows Virtual Machine. But I am reluctant to remove the Boot Camp partition. Now I have got TIme Capsule/Time Machine working OK for automatic backups - but the BootCamp/Windows stuff is not being backed up. Can anyone tell me how to include the Boot Camp partition and all my Windows-based work in the automatic backup 'of the entire machine' (the reason I bought a Time Capsule) to Time Capsule? It seems that only the MAC side of the machine is being backed up hourly by Time Machine. Can't find anything in Knowledge Base or Help about this. Thanks!

    I want to keep this discussion on MacBook Air not go to BootCamp topic because I need a wireless backup solution.
    I'm suggesting you go there to find an app that will backup your BootCamp partition to a Time Capsule. I don't know if WinClone can do that, or if there are better options.
    If I can partition my Mac using Boot Camp, is it possible to partition the Time Capsule
    No. But you can create a +disk image+ on it, and back up the Windoze side to it, if you can find an app that will work. See the blue box in #Q3 of [Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule|http://web.me.com/pondini/TimeMachine/TimeCapsule.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Capsule+ forum).
    you sold me all the bits, what's the answer please?
    You're not talking to Apple here. We're just ordinary users, like you, volunteering our time, with the rare exception of an Apple employee posting here on his/her own time (and identified by a silver Apple logo), and in the +Discussions Feedback+ forum, where the Hosts (identified by a purple Apple logo) will post about the Discussions themselves, not technical issues.

    I'd email Support but there's no email Support offered and I can hardly phone USA from Australia trying to get an answer to this.
    Click +Contact Us+ at the bottom of the page to find numbers in Australia.
    Maybe a Genius in my local retail Apple store can help?
    Possible. But they generally don't seem to have much training on Time Machine or Time Capsules.
    Info on the whole question of backup & data protection is fairly thin in the Apple world - or am I looking in tihe wrong place or calling it the wrong thing? thanks
    For information on 3rd-party utilities to use with BootCamp, try the Boot Camp forum. For information on Time Machine, try the +Snow Leopard > Time Machine+ forum. There are several *User Contributed Tips* at the top of that forum. For Time Capsule questions/issues, there's a +Time Capsule+ forum in the +Digital Life+ section.
