Can't install Win 8.1 x64 on MBP - "can't update boot configuration"

I just upgraded my MBP's hard drive to a 1TB SSD and installed Yosemite as a new computer - not from back up. I wanted to BootCamp Windows 8.1 64 bit on about 250 GB of the SSD but I keep getting the error, "Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed".
This is what I tried:
On a separate windows computer-
Used Rufus 2.1 to create a bootable usb from the extracted ISO of a Retail Windows 8.1 64 bit disc
     Set to GPT Partition Scheme for UEFI Computer
     Set to FAT32 File System
On the MBP-
Using disk utility, created 250GB of free space on the SSD
Restarted the MBP, booted into the bootable usb
Typed in product key etc.
Clicked "new" on the windows setup which created 2 more partitions in the empty space
     drive0 Partition: 4 MBR Reserved
     drive0 Partition: 5 Primary
Clicked to format disk05
The installation continued up until it "finishing up" and then popped the error message, "Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed".
I previously tried using BootCamp but kept getting the error - the space is in MBR and must be of GPT in for Windows to install.
Machine: mid2010 15" MBP/2.4GHz/8GB RAM/1 TB SSD (Samsung 850 EVO) /Yosemite
Can anyone help with this issue?

Turned out it was a problem with PRAM. I reset the PRAM (holding Command + Option + P + R) after "Windows could not update the boot configuration". And ran the install disc once more and it worked!
Hope this helps somebody.

  • Error trying to install Win 8.1 x64 Enterprise

    Brand new iMac 27", fully loaded, 1 TB SSD, 32 GB RAM, running Mavericks 10.9.3.  Trying to install Win 8.1 x64 Enterprise (from MSDN).
    Downloaded the ISO file and license and used Boot Camp to install the files and Apple Support files to a 16 GB USB 3.0 thumbdrive.
    Used Boot Camp to repartition the 1 TB SSD to set a Windows partion of 256 GB, then the computer rebooted into Windows Setup.
    Came to the drives listing, selected the BOOTCAMP parition (Drive 0, Partition 4, 239 GB) and formated it, then clicked on NEXT.
    Thought for a while, then it came up with this error message:  "We couldn't install Windows in the location you chose.  Please check your media drive.  Here's more info about what happened:  0x80300002"
    Got some hits on Google about issues with VISTA, or with Intel processors, but, nothing specific.
    Checked USB thumb drive with Norton, no issues, CHKDSK, no issues.
    Have repeated the entire process twice, including restoring the patition and recreating it, and rebuilding the USB Thumbdrive.
    Any ideas on what to do?
    Thanks!

    More sadness.  I finally started getting the BSOD as soon as Windows booted, and, I could not restart or shutdown the computer...had to power off.  That, after a few times, corrupted my BootCamp partition.  I messed around with trying to fix, but, no joy.
    Redid the partition, checked all drives for errors (fixed permissions on the Mac HD...LOT of errors), and created a new partition.
    Used USB 2.0 (VERY SLOW) thumbdrive and had all external drives removed, and installed Win 8.1 Pro, not Enterprise this time.
    Got it back up, patched it, configured it, put Norton 360 on it (have on all my computers and iOS devices) shut down, and hooked up the external drives.  Booted up and...got the BSOD.
    This time I had Windows Debugger loaded, and after the BSOD could reboot, go back intoWindows, and Debug.
    Culprit seems to be Norton--in particular a Norton Storage driver.  Will be contacting vendor to fix.

  • Can't install WIn 7 on my new MBP

    I just bought new 15" i7 MBP, and tried to install Windows 7 Ultimate (OEM). I use Boot Camp Assistance to create a partition for 32GB, and start Windows Setup. After I pressed Install Now button, I found an error message that the system cannot find CD/DVD media driver. How can I solve it?

    I'm probably asking a very obvious question, but are you running Boot Camp Assistant directly from the hard disk or one of the DVD's that came with your MBP?
    If you're running BCA from the hard disk, I'll speculate that maybe your new MBP i7 has a new/different model of DVD drive than the one(s) Boot Camp Assistant is expecting to find.
    Go to About This Mac, More Info, Disc Burning, and view the description of your DVD drive.
    If the DVD drive is a new model and isn't supported by Boot Camp Assistant yet, you might have to wait for a 10.6.4 update to fix it.

  • Can't update Boot Camp from 3.1 to 3.2 in Windows 7 (32-bit)

    The update starts to install, then I have to restart to finish updating, but when I do just that and fire up Windows 7 Boot Camp still tells me it's version 3.1. THis happens when I update via Apple Software Update. When I download the installer package it tells me the following: "The function you want to use, is on a network source which is not available." But I downloaded the package! Where else would it be? So until now I am not able to use my Magic Mouse in Windows 7. Is there a workaround for this problem? Thanks in advance.

    When I inserted Snow Leopard DVD, the autorun didn't show me an option to install Boot Camp Drivers. Just like the author of this topic, it only showed me 2 options: to Install Mac OS X remotely and to install CD/DVD Sharing.
    Then, I've run Windows Explorer, navigated to Snow Leopard DVD, opened Boot Camp folder and runned "setup.exe". The installer opened and Boot Camp 3.0 was installed successfully.
    I don't know if it could help you guys with that error message, but after the installation of Windows 7 64bits, I've rebooted my Macbook Pro. Only after the reboot I did the Boot Camp Drivers installation.
    You can also try to run the "setup.exe" as Administrator (right-click, Run as administrator).
    Also, my Snow Leopard DVD is that grey one with the white "Mac OS X Install DVD" labelled on it.

  • STRANGE!  Internet works perfect-can't update or configure Express??

    I have the latest airport set up utility and I am having issues.
    I connect to the internet just fine, but when I try to update my firmware or configure my airport express, it gives me this error. "Please make sure your Apple wireless device is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via ethernet and try again." (-6765)
    I've tried everything from restarting to doing a "hard reset" of the AX. No luck. Any suggestions?

    I had the same problem as you if I understand you correctly. Do you have Airport v.6.3 firmware installed on your Express? If not, download it and update your A.Express. That should fix it. Mind you, if you can't configure your A.Express in the first place, you may have trouble updating the firmware. Here's something worth trying anyway... (I did it via my old PowerBook but it should be the same).
    1. Download the firmware updater from Apple: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportexpressfirmwareupdate63formacosx.h tml (This one is for OSX users. There's another one for Windows users).
    2. Run the updater. It should run as a separate program - no need to use Utility.
    3. Next time you try to configure the Express via Utility, it should work.
    Of course, if you already have 6.3, then what I've suggested above will not apply. But this was certainly my problem, which has now been resolved as of this afternoon.
    A word of warning: Firmware v6.2 is an absolute dud as far as I can tell. I went from v.6.1 straight to 6.3 and now I am happy. Hope it helps.

  • Can't Update Boot Camp Graphics Card Driver

    Greetings,
    I have an iMac (2011) running 10.7.2
    I created a windows partition (windows 7 Ultimate edition) which has played Crysis II, Fallout New Vegas, etc.
    I recently bought Battlefield 3 and, when I try to run it, it says that my Graphics Card Drivers are out of date. As a result, the game continuously crashes (despite the iMac easily being able to run the game).
    What are my options for updating the drivers? I know that updates are usually in the form of software updates, directly from Apple.
    Am I simply screwed until they decide to update their drivers?
    A little clarification: I'm trying to install the "catalyst mobility 64-bit utility" for Windows 7 (64-Bit).
    When I try to update my driver, through the AMD website it says
    "AMD Catalyst Mobility cannot be downloaded due to incompatible hardware/software on your computer. Your computer does not contain a proper graphics adapter"
    Any ideas?

  • Can't install Windows 7 Pro x64 - device driver missing - can't eject DVD

    Hello,
    I am trying to install Windows 7 Pro x64 - I create the partition in boot camp and start windows install process. **During the Windows install process**, it says "A required CD/DVD device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now. Note: if the Windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can safely remove it for this step".
    Apparently the drivers are on the OSX install DVD. But, there is no way to eject the windows DVD! Why on earth is there no manual eject on Macs? Is there another way to eject? I tried to put a paperclick in the slot next to where a CD is inserted but it didn't do anything. Is there another way to get Windows to see the correct device drivers?
    I am all for clean slick designs, but when it does not have all required functionality, it is kind of useless.
    I am talking to Mac Support and they can't help.
    Looks like I will have to return this Mac, I also need to boot into full Windows (without Parallels or VMWare) to do my work.

    You don't mention what Mac you have, so I'd have to say there is almost no way to help.
    IF the 7 Pro x64 came download ISO thru EDU, you have to burn it, and if you use Disk Utility, at 2X reduced burn speed... otherwise it won't work.
    A VM isn't fussy and can use ISOs.
    If you want both native and VM, to have Windows installed on its own hard drive and use it under OS X, then you have to install it and use Boot Camp Assistant.
    I'd say it is all about your DVD media.

  • Problem installing Win XP Pro SP2 on 2008 Mac Pro running 10.6.8

    Okay, I have never setup or ran a bootcamp partition so I apologize in advance for my ignorance on the subject. I have been attempting to install win xp pro (SP2). I am using the Boot Camp Assistant  v3.0.4. I have created a 32GB FAT32 partition and at the point I click Continue Installation (with the XP Pro disc in the drive) the computer reboots to supposedly install.
    What happens instead is I get a revolving censorship/ban circle icon, folder with question mark and apple logo. It just continuously will flash between those 3 icons until I restart.
    Here's what I've tried...
    -removing all other drives. I'm attempting to install on the boot drive which is in bay 1.
    -removed all external devices only things plugged in are my usb keyboard and DVI monitor
    -deleting and recreating the partition
    -I have the xp pro cd in the top drive and the snow leopard cd in the bottom drive (both internal cd/dvd drives)
    Computer:
      Model Name:          Mac Pro
      Model Identifier:          MacPro2,1
      Processor Name:          Quad-Core Intel Xeon
      Processor Speed:          3 GHz

      SMC Version (system):          1.15f3
    No matter what I try I am met with the same results. I have held down the option key and manually selected the windows xp cd. It seems to be booting but immediately turns off my DVI monitor which, well, makes it impossible for me to actually know what is happening. I do have a nvidia GeForce 8800 which only has two DVI ports off the back. I do have the adapter and an old VGA monitor I could pull out of the attic but would rather not unless that is my only option. Can someone in the community please point me in the right direction?
    Many, many, many thanks!
    Curtis
    OKC, OK

    Update: my problem was solved by getting my VGA monitor out of the attic. Once windows was done and I ran the setup.exe off the Snow Leopard CD, all of the drivers were updated to allow me to switch back over to my apple cinema display.
    Also, I did need to hold down the option key to select the windows CD to install...and again to select the windows partition to boot but so far everything is going well with Bootcamp 3.0.4 and XP SP2...other than it is windows.

  • Win 7 Pro x64 Error 0x8007046a: Not enough server storage is available to process this command.

    I installed Win 7 Pro x64 on a reasonably decent  machine (Nvidia nForce 680i SLI, core 2 duo, 4 gig ram). It was a clean install on a freshly formatted partition. While copying a large bunch of files from another machine on the LAN, I get "Error 0x8007046a: Not enough server storage is available to process this command." It does give me the option to retry and continue, but the error inevitably pops up again later during the copy. Googling the error, I found a reference to it, suggesting I go to the registry and increase the IRPStackSize (but this article was not specific to Win 7). I tried increasing it as high as 32 hex. This reduces the frequency of the error, but does not eliminate it completely. Also, I now see a new error sometimes that says, "Too many files are currently in use. Quit one or more programs and then try again." That's odd, because I don't have anything else running. I haven't seen these errors when copying files to different partitions on the machine, so I assume it's something to do with network.

    Hi,
    To troubleshoot the issue, please try to do an In-Place Upgrade to repair the system.
    1. Start the computer by using the current Operating System.
    2. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in the computer's DVD drive.
    3. Use one of the following procedures, as appropriate:
    If Windows automatically detects the DVD, the Install now screen appears. Click Install now.
    If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, follow these steps:
    a. Click the Start Button, type Drive:\setup.exe in the start search box and then click OK.
    Note: Drive is the drive letter of the computer's DVD drive.
    b. Click Install now.
    4. When you reach the "Which type of installation do you want?" screen, click Upgrade to upgrade the current operating system to Windows 7.
    Thanks,
    Novak

  • Satellite L50-A-1d5 - cannot install Win 7 (32bit or 64bit)

    Hi guys.
    Very strange problem when i trying to install win 7.
    I changed the bios setting to boot from cd and it works graet.
    After the windows 7 install finish, the laptop resets and when the Windows 7 flag appears it's just freeze.(the keeps moving but nothing happend).
    I allready tried 3 versions of windows 7 and always the same problem.
    I also use Arconis via Hiren's and i cleaned the hard drive and installed again but..... the same problen accured.
    any suggestions??
    thanks a lot

    What BIOS settings did you change exactly?
    Usually you need to disable the secure boot and have to change the boot mode from UEFI to CSM mode.
    By the way: did you use the clean original Microsoft installation disk to install the system or did you use an image backup for OS installation?

  • Cannot install WINS Server Role on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard x64

    Hi, 
    We are trying to install WINS Server Feature on a brand new Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard x64 (Virtual Machine). It seems that WINS is getting installed and right at the very end it gives an error 0x80070002.
    We have tried rebooting the server multiple times , DNS/DHCP roles have been installed successfully as
    well . It is just the WINS server feature that we are unable to install on this server. 
    Can someone point us to right direction. Are there any pre requisites we need to ensure before installing this feature. Are there any alternate ways to install
    the WINS feature .. if yes please let us know. 

    The error indicates a File was not found:

    I would check a few things:
    1) Is the OS activated (Control Panel/System)
    2) Is the OS fully patched and has it been rebooted since it was patched?
