Bootcamp interent

I've got a Macbook pro and i run windows vista on bootcamp also. I was just wondering can i get viruses if im on the internet on vista?

When you're running Vista via bootcamp your running a PC. So you can get anything a "real" PC running windows can get including a virus, spyware, ect. There are a bunch of free virus/spyware apps available for Vista. Good idea to install one of those.

Re: ATI HD 2600 PRO WINDOWS 7 64 BIT BOOTCAMP DRIVER ERROR

Okay - I *think* I was able to get the modified INF to work properly now - it turns out there were many more instances where changes needed to be made that my original procedure did not address. The updated procedure is below with additional steps added.
Procedure to manually update iMac Radeon HD 2600 PRO video card under Windows 7 (64 bit).
Rationale:
> Boot Camp drivers incorrectly identify the video card my 24" iMac (Dual core; 2.8 GHz - graphics card is shown as a "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT") - this has been a long-standing problem when using my iMac under Boot Camp. There have been reports about how to update the drivers manually by obtaining them from ATI/AMD then installing them.
Background:
> When I was previously running Windows XP, I was able to perform the graphics driver update per the online instructions, without any problems.
> When I updated to Windows 7, 64-bit (because I was updated my Mac OS to 10.7 [Lion] and Windows XP was no longer supported in Boot Camp), I could no longer update the graphic card drivers to the Win7 64-bit version (it was giving an error that the driver was not supported).
> The solution I finally came upon was to modify the installer .INF file that comes with the drivers from AMD. I take no credit for this, except from the fact that I adapted a procedure I found for doing this for graphics cards in notebooks. The original place I found this is here <http://forum.notebookreview.com/gaming-software-graphics-cards/370695-guide-upda ting-your-ati-drivers-manually.html>.
NOTE & DISCLAIMER: I don't claim to fully understand every step that is going on here, nor if every step is needed. I based this on the procedure referenced in link immediately above and it seems to be working for me (that is, my graphics card driver was updated for Win7, 64-bit just like had been previously under WinXP) - YMMV.
>> This procedure was done with the AMD Radeon™ Desktop Video Card Drivers for "64 bit Windows Vista/Windows 7 "; Version 11.7, posted 2011-07-27 (main page: http://support.amd.com/US/Pages/AMDSupportHub.aspx)
1. Driver only was downloaded from AMD.
2. Downloaded file was installed to default location: C:\ATI
3. Gather info about the graphics card:
a. Open the Device Manager (Start>Computer [right-click]>Properties)
b. Expand the "Display Adapters" item to reveal the GPU (mine was listed as "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT")
c. Right-click on the GPU and select "Properties"
d. Click the "Details" tab in the Properties window.
e. Click the drop-down under "Property" (top item should say "Device description) - find the item in the list that says "Hardware Ids"
>> There were four values for my card, shown below:
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&SUBSYS_0083106B&REV_00
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&SUBSYS_0083106B
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&CC_030000
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&CC_0300
f. Right click on the first value and select "Copy" - paste it into a separate document.
g. Go back and click the drop-down under "Property" - find the item in the list that says "Inf section" (it was far down the list).
h. Copy the value shown there and paste into a separate document; my value read: ati2mtag_M76
4. Modify the INF file from AMD:
a. First thing I did was make a copy of the directory containing the files that were installed in step 2 (located at C:\ATI) - my directory was called "11-7_vista64_win7_64_dd".
b. Go into this path: C:\ATI\Support\11-7_vista64_win7_64_dd\Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF
c. Find the INF files (icon is a document with a gear on it), that start with "C7..." and "CH..." (mine were called "C7122569" & "CH122569").
d. Open the "C7..." file (it opens in Notepad).
e. The first thing I did was find and replace all existing instances of "M76" in the INF (I arbitrarily replaced it with the following value "M7a6"). There are a number of existing references to this property type in the original INF.
> I do not know if this is absolutely necessary but I found that it helped me to distinguish what was originally there with what I was modifying.
f. Do a "Find" command for "ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO" (if you search for a shorter phrase, be aware there are other "2600 PRO" cards in the list).
> The exact line I found was <"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO" = ati2mtag_RV630, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9589>
g. Replace that line with the Inf section value and the first Hardware ID value, using the same format as the original line. The new entry I made read (notice that each successive entry has an addition <space> between the end of 'PRO' and the ending double quote):
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO" = ati2mtag_M76, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&SUBSYS_0083106B&REV_00
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO " = ati2mtag_M76, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&SUBSYS_0083106B
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO " = ati2mtag_M76, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&CC_030000
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO " = ati2mtag_M76, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&CC_0300
h. Next do a find for all instances of "ati2mtag_RV630"; for every instance you will need to replace that value with " ati2mtag_M76".
i. Next do another find for "RV630" and make sure to replace all instances with "M76" (this is to catch the couple of places where it doesn't have the "ati2mtag" prefix)
j. Close the file, saving your changes.
k. Repeat steps 4d - 4i, using the "CH..." file.
> I personally do not think this is needed since I believe the "C7…" INF is for Windows 7 and "CH…" is for Vista, but I modified both anyway.
5. Update the graphics driver using the modified INF files:
a. Go back to the Device Manager and expand the "Display Adapters" item again to show the "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT" GPU
b. Right-click on the GPU and select "Update Driver Software..."
c. In the resulting window, choose "Browse my computer for driver software".
d. I navigated to the "C7..." file along the following path: <C:\ATI\Support\11-7_vista64_win7_64_dd\Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF>
e. At this point, I was shown a window that showed "ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO" twice (that's all that was in the list). I selected the first instance and it moved on.
f. I got a warning that the driver was unsigned, obviously I allowed it to move forward with the installation.
g. The updating proceeded and the screen momentarily went black, twice. After the second time the description in the Device Manager changed to reflect that the GPU was now "ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO".
FINAL NOTE: as of right now everything seems to be running properly and I have experienced no problems or graphical glitches. If anyone reading this sees an obvious problem with what I've done, please let me know. I have run benchmarks between this and the standard installed mobility driver and I get about a 10% increase in overall FPS (using the free "NovaBench" app by NovaWave).

look what this guy said:
Hi Guys,
I've spent a few hours over the last week trying to find something that works to update the driver. Using the Mobility Modder from Driverheaven I managed to install the Catalyst 7.8 but not the actual driver - you need to modify the INF for this. The only problem is that I can't be sure what the differences are between the mobility 2600 and the standard-computer 2600. I would like to assume it's just a few settings such as power saving and interal/ external displays.
I tried to modify the INF and used the settings for the standard graphics card. It worked fine, but I put the original Apple driver back on because I didn't want to find out I was overclocking the Graphics CPU accidentally.
After using mobility modder I added this line just after the mobility 2300 graphics card entry:
"ATI MOBILITY RADEON X2600 XT " = ati2mtag_RV630, PCI\VEN1002&DEV9583
If you notice and compare the mobility and standard entries, the mobilities have the same ati2mtag but followed by M-something rather than RV-something.
This appears to direct the INF to the correct setup of the Catalyst software for that card - as I say, I used the settings for the standard 2600 card and it installed ok. I didn't try any games though.
On another note, I'm resisting doing anything further or testing any games until I have the screen issue resolved - after exchanging the naff 20" screen with it's horizontal shading (a dark shade at the top to a light shade at the bottom - very noticeable with darkish solid colours!) I've found my new (more costly!) 24" is having some problems with picture breakup, though so far only in Vista which I installed via Bootcamp.
I wish Apple would get there act together. It's my first Apple and I was expecting great things! So far, I would have had less hassle if I had built my own computer with Vista on and thats saying something!!
Matt
he added the RV630 string. but i tried that with my exact windows xp driver device ids and yes it still completed the installation successfully,but the fps sill stayed the same

Windows brutally slow on my iMac (Bootcamp)

Hey guys,
first of all I would like to say sry, if my english isn't propper enough and lacks sometimes. I'm from germany...but anyway, here's my problem. ;-)
I have an 21,5 inch iMac mid 2011 with an intel i5, 4gb memory, AMD Radeon HD 6750 512 mb and a 500 GB Harddrive ( NOT SSD!! ).
All in all my iMac is working well with Mavericks on it but since last year I'm still trying to get windows work properly on it, but it just doesn't.
I tried different ways of installing windows on it. Through the normal BootCamp process, through a USB install method and also with a way, to install windows with VMware. It's a bit tricky cause you first start installing windows through the virtual machine, though it gets installed on a partition as a windows partition, just like bootcamp. But no matter what I tried, my windows is just slow, specially on the startup.
My last way to install it was this: I reinstalled mavericks, comepltley clean install. Updated mavericks, started bootcamp and went through the normal installation process. The bootcamp support software gets downloaded, a partition gets created and then it restarts to boot from CD to install windows then. In this case it is windows 8.1, but i tried it with 8 and also with 7 and it makes no difference. The installation process works well, without any problems. The drivers from the current bootcamp support software mostly gets installed automaitcally when windows starts the first time, if not, is just start the steup exe from within the support software. So far so good.
Now I finally will come to my problem...:D
Windows just runs slow like sh**. The boot process until i can log into my account works well, I have for example not the problem with the blinking cursor at the windows boot, like lot of people had. I'm within 23 seconds or so at the login window but then it's just horrible. When I type in my password it takes like 12 seconds to get me to the desktop and once Im on it, it takes 20-30 seconds more to get windows running so that I can open an internet browser. For example Skype, which I have in my autostart, takes at least 20 seconds to open and that's just not normal. I tried a lot, believe me....I tried disabling all the autostart programs, though I dont wanna disable them in general, cause I need a few in the autostart, but it didnt make a difference anyway. Even when I enable the automatic login that I dont have to type in my password, it makes no difference. Windows takes just years to get ready once Im on the desktop.
And again, all the drivers are up to date, I installed them from the newest bootcamp support software and even checked manually if updates are avaible.
To me it just seems that something is going wrong with the driver load at the beginning of windows. My hard drive istn broken as well, cause mavericks is running without any problems and also i checked the drive with many tools for problems. Yes, I defragmanted my drive under windows and I actually did everything you find on the interent. But still, it just makes no difference. I know that windows is propably not so fast at the start up but what I see isnt normal. I saw many macs on youtube with bootcamp windows on its and windows was running completley normal on it.
I mean, its not normal that it takes me up to 1 minute from the moment i type in my password, to get a browser open and google the internet. Oh and before I forget it, when I have a anti virus software installed and takes even longer...when i disable all anti virus malware else what programs, it gets a bit quicker, but i guess the problem sitll exist. Also I dont log into my windows with an internet microsoft account, its an offline sign in. Just saying that cause a lot of people on the internet say that the internet login can be slow someitmes.
So I have no more ideas what to do but I'm pretty sure there is a problem, it's not normal that it takes that long. I recently took a look into some boot log file on windows, dont know exactly what it was but there were many startup items which were causing problems and a slow startup proces. For example the "windows driver module" with the error code 101 took 9 seconds to load. But I have no clue about that boot analyze stuff, so I cant say more about that.
EDIT: One important note I should make, is, that after it takes that long to work properly, it runs pretty fast and nromal then. Its not that slow the whole time! It's just the start proces or better the login process, what I am talking about. Once the "years" are over whene I log into windows, it runs well then. Thats why I think something with the drivers isnt working properly. Also, in the moment when it takes that long, my hard drive is 100% in use when i look into the task manager...
I hope someone of you can help me and I'm looking forward to hopefully hear from you!!
again: sry for my english.
Cheers!
Max

Well...I have already checked msconfig and the automatic startup items. I have looked for all the non-microsoft things and disabled them, to see if it makes a difference. But it makes no difference. Disabling microsoft things in the msconfig isn't really what I wanna do, cause I have no clue about these system files.
I have also checked a boot analyze section to see if, and what causes trouble at the start. There were a couple of things which slowed down my start process. One thing that seemed to causes a lot trouble was a file called "windows driver installer module" or something like that. But its a system file, I cant simply delete it or something.
And before you say now: check for the newest drivers...I have the up to date drivers from the bootcamp support software and also checked manually for maybe an update. But it is as up to date as it gets. If it isn't a "bootcamp" issue, what is it then? I would agree with you that it isn't a bootcmap issue, cause bootcamp pretty much does nothing except downloading the support software and making a useless fat32 partition to boot off from...well if you have the usb install optoin, bootcamp does a bit more for you. But anyway... Whatever the problem is, it can't be solved be reinstalling windows or something like that. I reinstalled it many times, windows 7, 8 or 8.1. I fromated the whole system with mavericks to start it over then again, but there are still these problems. 14 seconds waiting when I type in my password, 30-40 seconds more once im on the desktop, until I can open a browser. The strange thing is, after that time, everything works well and windows is running fast..
You said, that almost have the same imac as me. So how exactly did you install windows? Was it like: You started bootcamp downloaded the support software on a usb drive, made a partition and booted off from an install ddvd to install windows?
Cause thats what I did, which is exactly the way it should be....Did you install windows only on a partition on your main hard drive or on a second hard drive?

Problem with black screen and crashes after installing windows 7 and bootcamp

K, so I partitioned my internal HD using Bootcamp, installed a new copy of Windows 7 Home, put in my Mac OSX disk and installed the additional stuff. I can successfully log in to Windows and open the browsers I have installed: Comodo dragon and Mozilla FF. McAfee auto installed with FF and I have Comodo Antivirus installed.
However, within minutes of use, my screen goes black, the computer does not shut down and reboot, I have to press the power button and wait a few secs for it to shut down then reboot. This has happened from both browsers while in Windows on Facebook in a game; while trying to save an attachment from an email via webmail and also while checking the inbuilt Windows settings for the display.
The latter produced the following report (below) on reboot and when I hit the "look for a solution" button, the actual window vanished after a few secs.
2 additional bits of info which may or may not be related:
a) running windows troubleshooter I discovered I have prob with:
driver for Inter (r) 5 series /3400 series chipset Family USB Universal Host Contoller - 3B3B
- I Googled this and it seems a common prob. Tried the reinstall, didn't work, so disabled it as suggested on some of the forum posts.
b) The OSX side of my computer seems to run fine most of the time, tho I have had the odd back screen, then wait, press reboot to power on and off in past as related in this post last month: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4844797 (maybe a kernal panic..???)
Would anyone know what is causing these probs or what I can do about them? My computer is no longer under warranty and the couple of times I had probs while it was, I was told the probs were to do with the power supply and given a new one, I'm not sure if they looked at the logic board. The OSX side has also had an ongoing prob to do with sudden shrinkage of the image content, which I mentioned to the geniuses at the Apple store b4, but as it wasn't acting up there they couldn't do anything about it... ( looks as tho sm1 changed the screen resolution and whatever is in the browser window shrinks, tho desktop, is never effected - if that makes sense!.)
All in all tho, does make me wonder if the prob is based in the graphics switching..???

Windows on internal SSD Bootcamp but can't install programs on internal HDD?

I have a Macbook Pro with an interal SSD and internal HDD. The Mac OS is installed on the SSD and Windows is on a bootcamp partition on the SSD but I can't seem to write anything to the HDD when I'm in Windows. What can I do to get around this?
I only use the HDD to store important files such as music, pictures, documents and other miscellaneous files as backup in the case my SSD fails but I also wish to install Windows progams onto it because I only really need the SSD for the OS and programs that continually fetch data.
While I'm here, is it possible for me to install Mac OS apps/programs on the HDD? And is it possible for me to do it simultaneously with the Windows programs (perhaps in a different directory)?

Use ext FAT. Both can read and write to it.
Or... you can try a product like these, but I have no experience on whether they're any good or not.

[Guide] Install and run Windows 7/8 from an external drive without using bootcamp (works for late 2012 iMacs with 3TB drive)

This is a copy of a post from my blog, you can also Read it on my blog...
Introduction
After I received my new iMac with a 3 TB Fusion Drive, I was disappointed when I realized that Bootcamp was not running on this model and prevented me from installing Windows on it. I wanted to take advantage of the powerful iMac hardware to play games but I couldn't.
There are a few ways of working around this limitation, but I found most of them quite complex and most of the time they required formatting the internal hard drive or repartitioning it and go for a brand new installation of Mac OS X. I was not comfortable with that.
But there is another way, and that is to install Windows on an external hard drive, using either USB or Thunderbolt. Personally I used a Lacie Rugged 1 TB drive that has both USB3 and Thunderbolt connectors. Both work very well.
This guide may interest you if:
You have an internal hard drive of more than 2TB and you can't run bootcamp at all (like late 2012 iMacs with a 3TB drive)
You have limited space or you don't want to dedicate disk space on your internal hard disk drive to a Windows installation
What this guide will make you do:
It will make you erase all your data from your external USB3/Thunderbolt hard drive
It will make you install Windows on your external USB3/Thunderbolt hard drive
It will make you install bootcamp drivers
What this will not make you do:
It will not make you modify anything on your internal Mac hard drive
It will not make you use or install the bootcamp assistant
It will not activate the Preference Pane for the default boot drive. You have to boot by pressing the ALT key to manually select your boot drive each tome you want to boot Windows.
What you'll need
An external hard drive with a USB3 and/or Thunderbolt connector. This drive will be formatted so ensure you saved your files before going further. You can use either an SSD drive or a classic hard drive.
A Windows 7 or 8 install DVD or ISO (check whether to install 32 or 64 bits versions based on your Bootcamp drivers) and the corresponding Windows serial number.
One of the following:
Mac OS X with a Windows 7 or 8 Virtual Machine (use VMWare Fusion or Parallels Desktop for example. Note: VMWare Fusion seems to have some issues with Thunderbolt and USB3. Plug your drive to a USB2 enclosure or hub to work around this -it worked for me-, or use another VM software) → Read the important note below
A PC running Windows 7 or 8 → Read the important note below
Windows AIK (free) running on your Virtual Machine or on your PC, or just the imagex.exe file (the rest of the Windows AIK package is not needed)
Download imagex.exe
Download Windows AIK (this download and installation is not required if you have already downloaded imagex.exe)
Bootcamp drivers for your Mac. You can get these either by running bootcamp from your Mac (Applications > Utilities > Bootcamp) or, if like me you have a 3TB drive and can't run bootcamp at all, use the direct download links here.
A USB stick to store your bootcamp drivers
IMPORTANT: If your Mac has a 64 bits processor, your Windows Virtual Machine on OSX, your Windows installation on your PC and your Windows DVD/ISO must also be in 64 bits!
Step by Step guide
Step 1: Get the install.wim file
If you have a Windows ISO file:
Mount the ISO
If you're on OS X: double click on the ISO file
If you're on on Windows 7: Use a software like Virtual Clone Drive (free)
If you're on Windows 8: double click on the ISO file
Open the mounted drive, then go to the "sources" folder and locate the "install.wim" file. Save this file to C:\wim\ on your Windows installation or virtual machine.
If you have a Windows DVD: open the "sources" folder on the DVD and locate the "install.wim" file. Save this file to C:\wim\ on your Windows installation or virtual machine.
IMPORTANT: If instead of a "install.wim" file, you have "install.esd", you can not continue this step by step guide. And an ESD file can not be converted into a WIM file. So you must get a version of the Windows installation DVD/ISO that has an install.wim file.
Step 2: Clean, partition and format your external hard drive
On your Windows installation or virtual machine, plug in your external hard drive (can be plugged using USB2, USB3 or Thunderbolt at this stage)
Open the command prompt in administrator mode (cmd.exe). To run it in administrator mode, right click on cmd.exe > Run as admin.
Type the following and hit enter to open the disk partitioner utility:
diskpartType the following and hit enter to list your drives:
list disk
This will display a list of disks mounted on your computer or virtual machine. Make sure your drive is listed here before you continue.Identify the disk ID of your external hard drive. Replace # by your real external disk ID in the command below:
select disk #Clean all partitions by typing the following (warning: this will erase all data from your external drive!):
clean
Create the boot parition by typing the following followed by the enter key:
create partition primary size=350
This will create a 350MB partition on your external driveFormat the partition in FAT32 by typing the following:
format fs=fat32 quick
Set this partition to active by typing:
active
Assign a letter to mount this partition. We will use letter B in our example. If B is already used on your PC, replace B by any other available letter:
assign letter=b
Windows will detect a new drive and probably display a pop-up. Ignore that.Create the Windows installation partition using all the remaining space available on the external drive by typing the following:
create partition primary
Format the new partition in NTFS:
format fs=ntfs quick
Assign a letter to mount this partition. We will use letter O in our example. If O is already used on your PC, replace O by any other available letter:
assign letter=o
Windows will detect a new drive and probably display a pop-up. Ignore that.Exit the disk partitioner utility by typing:
exit
Step 3: Deploy the Windows installation image
Still using the command prompt in admin mode (you didn't close it, did you? ), locate the imagex.exe file mentioned in the "What you'll need" section and access its folder. In our example, we have put this file in C:\imagex\imagex.exe
Type the following and hit enter (remember to replace o: with the letter you have chosen in the previous step):
imagex.exe /apply C:\wim\install.wim 1 o:
This will take some time. The Windows installation image is being deployed to your external driveOnce done, type the following to create the boot section (remember to replace o: and b: with the letters you've chosen in the previous step):
o:\windows\system32\bcdboot o:\windows /f ALL /s b:
If you get an error message saying that you can't run this program on your PC, then most probably you are running on a 32 bits installation of windows and you're trying to deploy a 64 bits install. This means you did not read the important notes in the beginning of this guide
If you get an error message on the options that can be used with the BCDBOOT command, then it's because you're installing Windows 7, and the /f option is not supported. If that is the case, remove /f ALL from the command and retry.
Step 4: Boot from your external drive and install Windows
Plug in your external drive:
If you've done all the previous steps from a Windows PC, unplug your external drive from your PC and plug it to your Mac, either on a USB3 or a Thunderbolt port.
If you've done all the previous steps from your Mac using a Virtual Machine, ensure the external drive is plugged in to a USB3 or Thunderbolt port. Using USB2 should also work but you'll get very poor performance so I don't recommend doing that.
Reboot your Mac and once the bootup sound is over, immediately press the ALT (option) key and release it only when the boot drives selection screen appears. If you did not get the boot drives selection screen, reboot and try again. The timing to press the ALT (option) key is quite short. It must not be too early or too late.
On the boot selection screen, choose "Windows" using the arrow keys on your keyboard, then press enter.
The Windows installation starts. Follow the on-screen instructions as normal. The installation program will restart your computer one or 2 times. Don't forget to press ALT (option) right after the bootup sound, and boot on Windows again each time to continue the installation.
Step 5: Install bootcamp drivers
Once the Windows installation is complete, plug in the USB stick where you stored the bootcamp drivers (see "what you'll need" section), open it and right click on "setup.exe" and select "Run as admin". Follow the on-screen instructions.If you have an error saying that you can't run this program on this PC, obviously you have installed a 32 bits version of Windows and the bootcamp drivers for your Mac are made for a 64 bits version. You have to restart the whole guide and make sure to get a 64 bits version of Windows this time!
Once the bootcamp drivers are all installed, reboot and press ALT (option) after the bootup sound to boot on Windows again. And Voilà, you have Windows installed on your USB3/Thunderbolt drive running on your Mac.
Now each time you want to boot on Windows, press and hold the ALT (option) key after the startup sound and select "Windows", then press Enter.

Hi i'm trying to follow your guide, I installed windows 8 on bootcamp to do it planning to remove it after the operation is done, but i get stuck at part 3: every command i give to imagex i get a pop-up ftom windws asking how do I want to open this kind of file install.wim and imagex does nothing, what do i have to do to stop those pop-ups?

How do I install Windows 8 on Mountain Lion (mac mini) 2010 Server using bootcamp with out Optical Drive?

I have a 2010 Mac Mini server running 10.8.4 (12E55). I just bought a brand new copy of Windows 8 from micrsoft. I have tried using boot camp and it will not recognize a burned DVD in my remote optical drive on my laptop running windows 7 or my macbook running Lion 10.7.5. I have had Microsoft on both of my computers remoted in for about 8 hours and they tried just about everything that I've tried.
Microsofts tech support has made me a bootable DVD and a bootable Flash Drive through remote desktop (awsome good job microsoft tech support). I have even tried formatting my mac mini's second 500GB hard drive to FAT32 using this whole disc as my windows partition. I know that when I go to install windows 8 it is going to reformat the drive to NTFS but all the articles that I've found, say this is what you have to do to get the drive formatted properly to get the ball rolling and get windows will fix it when it goes to install by reformatting to NTFS.
Ok so right now I have my second 500GB hdd on my mac mini formatted to FAT32 and I have tried to reboot holding my option key like I do on my mac book. If I want to boot to a different hdd on my macbook all I do is hold the OPTION key during start up and you get prompted to choose one of the bootable disc that is on your computer. Well if I put my USB drive which is bootable on my macbook into my macbook and do this right now its not showing up.
Now I just put the DVD that they made me in my macbook and it shows up as bootable disc. But the USB doesn't. (1 hour later) I just got microsft to remake the USB drive and am going to try that again so ta ta for now and I'll come back on to post to tell you if it works.

Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox are available from their respective sites. Read their installation instructions which explain how to install Windows.

How do I install bootcamp on the new drive that I installed with the dvd drive adapter

Hello, I have a macbook pro mid 2012 13 inch, I have just earned some money, enough to buy a SSD, and I happily went to the store and bought a samsung evo 840 120gb SSD. My plan was to clean install windows 8.1 on the SSD, I already had bootcamp on the 500GB HDD with windows 8 that came with the mac, so I backed up the important files from the windows partition. I deleted the partition, and restored it to the mac's partition (which I was going to partition again after the windows installation is complete for the storage for my windows partition) I made a installation usb with the iso I have made with bootcamp assistant, and waited. After that was done I restarted my computer holding the option key, then I booted into the EFI boot partition, and went through the process, entered the serial key, and agreed the thing, and then when I did the format it said it couldn't do it, so I took it out put it in an external hard-drive case, then I plugged it into my windows 8 laptop, then I opened command prompt, then I typed "diskpart", then after the administrator thing popped up, I clicked yes, then in the diskpart prompt, I typed in "list disk", and my SSD was disk 1, so I did "select disk 1" then I typed "clean" Then I went into the drive manager, then a thing popped up saying which one would I choose between MBR or GPT so I selected GPT, then made a new NTFS partition on the SSD, then took it out, then I popped it back in then went through the installation, until the actual installing part where after copying files is done, this pops up "Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code 0x8007045D" So I downloaded a torrent because I had thought that this was corrupted, and downloaded a torrent from a website, and downloaded the iso, and I tried and the same error, again and again of taking out the drive from my computer to format it and putting it back in again (since there was some files made on the SSD) so I had decided that I would download a windows 8 torrent, then I did then it couldn't even start, so I want to install windows 8.1 on my macbook pro, on a separate drive in the the DVD cage (not external, internal), would there be any way to do it, please help!

Mini DVI to VGA in Mac and Windows XP with Bootcamp

I just bought 13in MacBook the first time so I am new with this system.
I am trying hook up MacBook Mini-DVI output to Panasonic th-42pd25up (EDTV) with VGA input for PC. I hooked it up using Apple's Mini DVI to VGA adapter to TV. (TV also has HDMI input which TV manual says not to use it.
TV's resolution are :
640x480 for 4:3 aspect ratio
852x480 for 16:9 aspect ratio
I have two problems watching streaming video at 300 to 700mbp of soccer or cricket sport broadcasts.
1. In Mac system, I only get blue screen of computer on TV with out any writing or pictures or tool bar.
2. In Microsoft XP using BootCamp I get "no signal" on TV. Would I have success using Parallels software?
I am missing some important games!!!
Thanks for any guidance give me.

This is normal in extended desktop. You can drag anything you want from the main screen to the external screen. I prefer it this way when I am watching MLB.TV. I keep the game on my external and use my internal work surfing and other stuff.
You can use the F7 key to switch back and forth

Mini dvi to vga in bootcamp

Does the mini dvi to vga work with bootcamp in windows if not is there any third party software I could use?

There is no reason it shouldn't work. You're probable not getting answers because people with the latest computers are probable using LCDs, so haven't tried the adapter.

I am having keyboard problems when trying to boot up an OS (bootcamp on Mac Mini Server)

I recently tried using bootcamp on my new Mac Mini Server.
I uploaded a windows ISO Image perfectly the way it asked, Windows 7, I followed the correct steps, euqally divided one of the hard drives, and I was ready to actually set up the new Windows section of my computer. During this booting session, my dog came in the room with her ball and knocked the computer plug out of the socket. Now when I turn on the mac, the fan still works, the same Macintosh sound comes up, the screen turns that usual very bright gray, but it stays on that gray. After a minute or two, the screen turns black, with a blinking underline, as if it were confused to choose which operating system it has to boot.
My problem here is that I use a wireless keyboard (not by Apple) -- and I suppose that bluetooth syncronizes with the OS and not the computer system itself -- so my keyboard commands do not get recognized in order for me to navigate into Windows 7 or OS X Mountain Lion. I tried solving this problem by purchasing a brand-new USB keyboard (since Mac Mini Servers do not have the PS/2 entrance). I guess this new USB keyboard didn't work, I imagine, either because the USB slots on the machine are not recognized by the computer's internal system, only by the Operating Sysytems (which I hope isn't true), or that the mac had never used that USB Keyboard and wasn't going to be capable of using it until it had installed the necessary drivers, but without the OS running that would become impossible.
So my question is: Is there a way that I can connect a keyboard to the mac so I can continue installing my alternate Operating System? Is it maybe another problem all together?

It is starting to sound more like Bootcamp failed to install properly.

Performance reduced under Bootcamp after EFI update on Macbook Pro Retina

after i upgraded EFI on my retina macbook pro the proformence reduced to unusable. under heavy load under bootcamp windows7. the cpu clock drops and as well as cpu clock. this is the screen shot of gpu clock monitoring from windows u can see the gpu clock is running at 270Mhz at most of the time and trying to be back to 725Mhz(yea, not 900Mhz!) when im running a graphic benchmark at same time cpu will run about 1.1Ghz as well. i noticed that it will run 10-20sec normally then CPU and GPU clock will start dropping. It's almost like speedstep is programmed backwards. My CPU is constantly running at 3.1-3.2GHz, and then as soon as a game loads, it drops to 1.2GHz. I've lost track of how many times I reset the SMC reseting SMC PRAM, reinstalling windows using Bootcamp or even erease the entire drive and start over from network recovery MacOS did not solve this problem. so all the recent games like COD MW3, Starcraft II, BF3,or D3 will only run about about 10 fps as i was playing them with no ploblem before the EFI update.
this is killing me! please help.
im in NY, in this season i dont think is the overheating problem. when i check the temperature, it stays about 80C (fans will run about 4k rpm). but some time heavy loaded Mac OS cpu is about 90 degree but only with 3k rpm fan kicked in.
i did search online, seems that some other people have the same problem with rMBP or MBA 2012.
anyone knows if i take my macbook pro to the store, will those people work at genuines bar help me with this "windows" problem?
thanks!

Hey Shadowyani, please take a time and fill a bug report at http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/ . The machine is useless for me as it is now because I develop and use very GPU/CPU demanding scientific applications, after the update my realtime applications are completely useless as they drop from something like 25fps to 9 fps even on Mac OS X (no SMC reset fixed the issue). In bootcamp the situation is worse, my software runs at 4 fps and gaming turns to be impossible to play as well.
Please let Apple know about the problem, fill a bug report, even if SMC reset once in a while fixed the issue for you (this is not a common behaviour and must be fixed). We paid the price for cutting edge technology.
Apple shall not do a downgrade of the system after few weeks, remember that most of reviews and benchmarks were done BEFORE the EFI Update, so people are being fooled by Apple in this sense.

BootCamp 5 Blue Screen Error

As soon as i start Windows (using BootCamp drive) and i install the drivers it goes to Blue Screen. I can't start with Mac OS X due iff i click ALT at start it gives : Windows and Windows(USB) not Mac OS X. So i click 'Restore WIndows' and it does it but the drivers are gone. So is the driver unstable or ... I don't get it. Please help me and the HackedOS Team. (Currently we're trying the BootCamp4.1.4586 drivers) (And we're having this error on every PC on my pc it happend after 2 weeks.)

It failed cause the drivers are outdated.

Bootcamp and windows 8(partition problem)

I am trying to install windows 8 and until now with no sucess. The instalation by the bootcamp runs smoothly, but when I boot from the USB, start the instalation process on windows and it asks me what partition I want to install the windows, I try to choose the Partition 4: BOOTCAMP and it doesn't work. It says it's a problem because the partition is EFI and for installing windows it can't be or something like that
And if I don't press the Alt button, when the bootcamp finishes the instalation and reboot the mac, it goes to a black screen where said that I don't have any boot devices connected and to connect one and press a key.

I believe you are supposed to format the partition labeled BOOTCAMP to NTFS from the installer. It is stated in the BootCamp suport guide.
