EFI install - NO OS installed (formerly 10.5)

Hi,
I've had a problem with the OS on my MacBook Pro (mid-2009, 13") and I can't install OS X 10.5 back on, i've read that it's possibly something to do with the EFI bootloader.
Is there any way to install the EFI bootloader, WITHOUT an OS installed?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi, apologies for my delayed response. When I boot into OS X (or attempt to), i'm able to load Startup Manager, but then no bootable hard drive shows up, and I can't boot into a retail v.10.5 restore disc.I also am unable to restore the Mac over firewire through Disk Utility from another intel-based Mac (running 10.6).
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

  • [SOLVED] Almost succesfully EFI install. Error: unable det.... root..

    Hello
    I almost did a EFI install of Arch.
    I've followed the wiki. But as you boot with bios, efibootmgr didn't work. So, as solution, and it's not in the wiki I put the grubx64.efi as bootx64.efi in /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/. This is where EFI search  the file bootx64.efi to launch, if a bootloader wasn't fixed before.
    It works. I achieve at grub's menu, and launch Arch. But from there I get the next:
    ERROR: unable to determine major/minor number of root device "UUID=......."
    ERROR: UUID=..... no such file o directory
    ERROR unable to determine the file system type of
    I've tryed do a mkinitcipio without autodetect HOOK. But the same.
    I think it is GRUB2, but for me, five days with EFI (at least), three install tryes, too much for me. I can't do more search.
    (it's a usb and use HOOK usb too)
    Thankyou by your time.

    Hello.
    I read several post. The solution was either delete the "autodetect" HOOK, or Grub2 config. But I tried to understand this file, and it looks like fine to me. But I have no experience in that so it could be wrong.
    Fallback entry no works.

    I'll go to try to change grub.conf:
    It could be that firmware was getting another disk. So I'll change hd1 to hd2 or hd0.
    I have to read grub2 wiki to asure where root must be pointing.
    Added: Maybe ext2 must be ext4?.
    NO, it wasn't

  • Macbook Pro EFI install issues

    I have a Mabook Pro 6,2 (Mid 2010). While trying to install just arch as my singular OS on the machine I loaded the disk hit the option button and low and behold I see an EFI boot option under the mac's hard coded boot selector. If I select it loads... until I get an i915 0000:00:02.0: Invalid ROM contents. it locks and never finishes. From what I have read from all of last year isn't on the latest builds of Arch. I found rEFInd and reinstall OSX onto a spare laptop HDD I had around (replaced the main drive I use). I have read about all I can and don't know where to go from here. rEFInd doesn't see the EFI stub from the CD but the hard EFI shell does.
    I have been trying to follow these instructions

    You keep repeating this info... did you actually try to fix, per the suggestions above?
    Do you have instructions on how to modify the mkinitcpio.conf on an install-usb from either the Mac OS or Windows OS. I would be glad to modify it on the installer drive I have if I knew how.

  • Win 8: bootcamp or EFI install?

    Im ready to try win 8.
    Should I go old way with bootcamp or straight EFI? Ive read that going EFI might lead to driver issues, especially nvidia stuff. Is that true?
    Which one should I pick?

    Hello timelover
    If you use Boot Camp to install Windows 8 it will ensure that you will get all the appropriate drivers after you install Windows to make sure that all the hardware works for you.

  • MacBook Pro 4,1 efi install every bootup

    Hi guys, I have a Macbook pro 4,1 (Early 2008 15inch)
    I am running OS X lion. All updates up to date.
    1 Mac partition, 1 Bootcamp Win7 partition.
    Now, what is happening is that few days ago, (i think, but am not sure - after a bootcamp update) my mb started updating EFI on each bootup. (apple logo and loading bar for about 5mins).
    Also, when i hold alt in order to choose system, my Mac partition is now renamed EFI Disk.
    From my understanding, a simple system reinstall, od removal of bootcamp partition won't help since it's EFI?
    Does anyone please have any words of advice?
    Do not be afraid to overcrumb me with terminal stuff, i am pretty knowledgeable myself.

  • [SOLVED] ARCH install on EFI computer with GPT

    Hello everyone. I'm having a problem with installation of arch. When i boot with pendrive "made" with dd i get some "Install override security policy" (or something like that) anyway i can't "edit" pendrive after dd so i create MSDOS partition table and format as FAT32 and copy content of the iso to the pendrive. Boots the same so i googled that i have to overwrite grubx64.efi with loader.efi so i done that and it boots fine. But pendrive doesn't install grub it says that my system doesn't support efi, so i followed this and and from google i read about  i have to activate efivars with modprobe but it doesn't work either. I tried EFI install with VirtualBox but error still is the same. Anybody installs arch on UEFI machine ?? Ubuntu (and Xubuntu, Lubuntu...) & Fedora works fine with UEFI install. I don't want to move disk to MBR because of MBR limitations (for example only four primary partitions) and i have important data on the disk so i can't do that.
    I tried Arch based distros and there are also problems with install. Manjaro after install shows that UEFI variables wasn't detect properly ( or something like that). Antergos doesn't boot because there is not necessary files (who even release that? this doesn't even work in virtual box) after adding these files i've get 30 seconds Arch problem because label is incorrect antergos says that label have to be ANTERGOS201311 and i can't give that label because FAT32 has 11 characters limitation and if i tried work it out with ext4 it doesn't work at all (there is no prefix UEFI in boot options). I can't also solve that with dd because i have to paste missing files to the pendrive and dd make pendrive unwritable.
    Doesn't matter, issue solved. All i have to do is to
    mount -t efivarfs efivarfs /sys/firmware/efi/efivars

    That all depends on the settings you give your VM, you can make it virtualize either a BIOS or a UEFI machine irrelevant of the host firmware.
    https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch03.html#efi
    I'm not sure if UEFI is still considered experimental or how well it works, as I always just use BIOS mode.

  • Install Windows 8.1 Pro on Mac Mini Late 2014

    I'm trying to install Bootcamp on my Mac Mini.  Windows reports that it cannot install or create a partition on the drive after formatting the BOOTCAMP partition as NTFS.
    This is my setup:
    1. Mac Mini Late 2014 with 2TB Fusion Drive.
    2. Windows 8.1 Pro x64 full version ISO downloaded from Microsoft Store.
    3. Sandisk Extreme Flash Drive (I have tried both 16GB and 64GB).
    4. Bootcamp partition = 500GB.
    5. Other USB devices plugged in: Corded USB Mouse and Apple Extended Keyboard (both of which are required to enter the serial number and navigate the installer window).
    6. No additional storage devices of any kind are connected aside from the internal Fusion drive and the installer drive.
    7. Booting from the EFI portion of the Bootcamp created Windows installer.
    I have read that I should try using a USB 2 flash drive rather than a USB 3 flash drive, so I will try that next.  I fail to understand how this could make any difference.
    If you have any other tips, please let me know.
    I have installed or helped other people install bootcamp many times over the course of the past 2 years.  Every single time it has caused endless headaches and literally weeks of wasted time.
    I have read endless posts on what is causing these problems.  I will consider summarising these for anyone else having the same problems.  Everyone has their theory so far about this Bootcamp nightmare, but so far there doesn't appear to be any one magic solution.
    Apple's inability to address the issue suggests that the problem may be with the Windows installer.  Perhaps Microsoft is deliberately causing this?
    I suspect the two most likely causes of these issues are the downloaded ISO or the Thumb Drive.
    If you have any better idea, please let me know.
    On another topic, how to I rename the NTFS partition back to BOOTCAMP?  All options to rename this partition are greyed out in Disk Utility...
    Cheers,
    Paul

    The FAT32/NTFS partition is usually not adequate for an EFI install. You can delete the BCA-created partition and create a Disk Utility partition which is formatted as Free Space. This will be split into an MSR and MSD. Fusion drives create problems, especially if the BC partition lies outside the traditional MBR 2TB boundary.
    Before you delete the BCA-created partition, please post the output of
    diskutil list
    diskutil cs list
    sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
    sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk1

    Windows installers up to W8.1 do not have USB3 drivers. These are installed after Windows is installed and BC drivers are in place.

    The requirements are pretty strict when installing Windows. Any deviations cause headaches and grief.

    The USB is usually the issue.

    After Windows is fully installed and BC drivers are in place, log into Windows, right click on it and rename it on the Windows side. It cannot be renamed on the OSX side with diskutil renameVolume. Here is an example sequence. You cannot rename volume during the installation process.

  • Lenovo Yoga 2 13, Kali Linux 1.0.7, Ubuntu 14.04, Windows 8.1 install, config, and wifi fix.

    Lenovo Yoga 2 13, Kali Linux 1.0.7, Ubuntu 14.04, Windows 8.1 install, config, and wifi fix.
    I wanted to share an experience with everyone I hope will help others avoid what I have gone through the past 3 days. I bought a Yoga 11s that I loved but had some issues with the wireless, Lenovo being awesome replaced it with a Yoga 2 13. I love this laptop but ran into some issues with Linux install/wireless, which I wanted to show how to resolve in one place. Hopefully this will help someone else get through this quicker
    I am going to try and write this for someone with little Linux experience, if I miss the mark please let me know and I will clarify the best I can.
    For work I need Windows 8.1 and Kali Linux, while for home I prefer Ubuntu.
    My Yoga 2 13:
    I5 1.6 ghz
    8 GB ram
    256 GB SSD
    ORANGE!
    My requirements: 
    I need Windows
    I need Kali Linux (livecd, even with persistent mode was not an option as it would not save the wireless fix or system updates) – I would also like this on a USB drive and not the internal SSD
    I would like Ubuntu
    Needed to do this:
    1. 2 USB thumb drives (at least 8gb in size each) I used 2 Leef Supra 32GB drives. They are my favorite right now and are only about $27 at amazon.
    2. Phone that can USB Tether or a USB Ethernet card (External USB wireless will show as "Hardware Locked"). Again you can pick one up for sub $10 if you need the USB Ethernet route. I used my Galaxy S5, you will need to download 200-300 mb of items through this so make sure you have the data if you go that route.
    3. You may be able to get a USB wifi card to work if you do the following after boot. This only worked once for me.
                    a.Type ‘sudo rmmod iwlmvm’
    b.Type ‘sudo rmmod iwlwifi’
    4. ISOs of Ubuntu and Kali Linux (I used Ubuntu 14.04 and Kali Linux 1.0.7)
    5. Software to unzip the ISOs. I recommend 7-ZIP and will be referencing this in this guide.
    6. I will include the EFI boot files and the WiFi fix files if I can attach. Otherwise I will provide a link to them.
       Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
    Recommended (these are just in case you corrupt something making your system not see any OS
    1.  I would call Lenovo beforehand and get a set of recover disks (this will take 2-3 days)
    2. In the meantime a USB Windows 8.1 or 8 ISO (the repair feature may save you)
    *Note: At many points in this guide I detail steps and commands. Please double check that you understand the step before proceeding. There are multiple points where a mistyped command or clicking the wrong option will cause your entire system to fail and you will need to reformat the entire drive and start over. This also will make One Touch recovery not work. Proceed with caution.*
    I did not need to disable ‘secure boot’ to do this, but keep in mind that you may need to.
    Steps:
    First let’s go through the installs, and then we will go through grub config and wireless fix
    1. In Windows scroll to computer and right click, select manage.
    2. Go to “Disk Management”
    3. Select the main HDD (notice Lenovo puts a stupid number of partitions on here)
    a. I deleted the D: drive on here, if you do this make sure to copy the drives over to your main C: drive. You will want to run each of the installers and repair the drivers after.
    4. I used the space from the D: drive and pulled a little more creating a 50 GB partition for Ubuntu and my swap file
    a. You can also add more space by right clicking your C drive and selecting shrink
    b. Do not format the partitioned data as this will make identifying it later much easier.
    5. Open a command line
                    a. Swipe from the right of the screen and select search
                    b. Type ‘cmd’
                    c. right click and select ‘run as admin’
    6. For Ubuntu: Type ‘diskpart’ into the command line
                    a. type ‘list disk’
    i. You should see 2-3 disks depending on if you have one or both usb drives in the laptop at the time. I would suggest only doing 1 at a time so you don’t lose track.
                    b. type ‘select disk $’ (Replace the $ with the number of the drive)
    c. ***** Before proceeding make sure you have the correct drive selected or you can ruin your Windows install and Lenovo one touch recovery will not fix it since we have changed the partitions *****
    d. type ‘clean’
    e. type ‘create partition primary’
    f. type ‘active’
    g. type ‘format  fs=fat32 quick’
    h. type ‘assign’
    i. type ‘exit’
    6. For Kali Linux: Type ‘diskpart’ into the command line
                    a. type ‘list disk’
    i. You should see 2-3 disks depending on if you have one or both usb drives in the laptop at the time. I would suggest only doing 1 at a time so you don’t lose track.
                    b. type ‘select disk $’ (Replace the $ with the number of the drive)
    c. ***** Before proceeding make sure you have the correct drive selected or you can ruin your Windows install and Lenovo one touch recovery will not fix it since we have changed the partitions *****
    d. type ‘clean’
    e. type ‘create partition primary size= 3272
    f. type ‘active’
    g. type ‘format  fs=fat32 quick’
    h. type ‘assign’
    i. type ‘exit’
    j. By doing this we can maintain a portion of this drive as the install CD and still have linux install/ liveCD if we need to run it on another machine.
    7. At this point the drive is ready to have the contents of the ISO copied over.
    8. Right click the ISO and select 7-zip then ‘zip to /’ This should unzip the ISO to the location of the ISO into a folder named exactly the same as the ISO.
    9. Once this is done for Ubuntu ISO it is done
    10. Kali requires a little bit more to be ready
                    a. Kali will need some files added for EFI boot. --$--
                                   i. Thanks to: https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?271-How-to-EFI-install-Kali-Linux
                                   ii. EFI files are located within the wifi fix folder https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
    11. Now let’s start with Ubuntu
    Ubuntu install
    1.     Place USB drive into the laptop and press the “Lenovo boot” button next to the power button
    2.     Select ‘Boot Menu’
    3.     Select ‘EFI USB Device (Name of drive)’ Mine stated Leef Supra
    4.     Select ‘install Ubuntu’
    5.     Go through the Ubuntu install until you get to select the install drive
    6.     Once you get to the install portion it will ask you to select from one of 4 options. Select ‘Manually select partition’
    7.     Select the “Free Space” where we opened up some of the drive
    8.     You will need to create 2 partitions, I usually create the swap partition at the end of the drive
    a.     First I create the swap
                                              i.    Set at the end of the drive
                                             ii.    Set size to 1024 mb
                                            iii.    Set type to ‘swap’
    b.     Second create the ext 4 partition
                                              i.    Set to beginning of drive
                                             ii.    Set to remainder of the space
                                            iii.    Set type to ext4
                                            iv.    Set mount point to /
    9.     Finish the install and boot into Ubuntu
    10.   You will notice that your wireless is ‘disabled by hardware’ This is fine for the time being and we will worry about this after the kali install. If we fix it now for some reason after installing kali we get the error again and would just need to fix it again.
    Kali Linux install
    1.     Place USB drive into the laptop and press the “Lenovo boot” button next to the power button
    2.     Select ‘Boot Menu’
    3.     Select ‘EFI USB Device (Name of drive)’ Mine stated Leef Supra
    4.     From the grub menu select ‘install kali linux’ both graphical and text work. I much prefer text install
    5.     You will get a few errors through the install but that is fine
    6.     The first we see is about network hardware and ‘load missing firmware from removable media?’ – Select ‘no’
    7.     Then select no ethernet card
    8.     It will have you name your machine then it will ask you for the root password
    a.     If you want to just use root *not recommended* place the password here
    b.     If you wish to use a non-root account then leave these blank and it will ask you for a name, username, and password of the new machine *Very Recommended* - this will also add this user to the sudoers file
    9.     It will then ask you to ‘partition disks’
    10.   Select manual
    11.   Now here is where it can get a little confusing so read twice click once
    12.   Select the USB drive from this list
    13.   Mine shows up under (sdb) – Leef Supra
    a.     It could be sdc, sdd, sde, etc… depending on how many drives you have plugged in.
    14.   You should see one primary drive that is 3gb or so that is formatted as FAT32. – DO NOT TOUCH THIS PARTITION!
    15.   You should see the remainder of this drive as ‘FREE SPACE’ select that
    16.   Create a partition at the end at size 1024mb and swap
    17.   Then create another one for the remainder of the drive and set it to ext4 with mountpoint of /
    18.   Continue through the install after you should see an error warning you that ‘you may not be able to boot’ that is fine, select continue
    19.   Then select from the menu of all the options ‘continue without bootloader’
    20.   It should finish up then reboot on its own.

    First setup/boot/fix grub
    1.     You should  be able to boot up into GRUB2 menu now.
    2.     You may not see kali linux in this menu (make sure you have your towel and don’t panic!)
    3.     Boot into Ubuntu
    4.     Once you log in you should see that you still cannot use wireless due to being locked by hardware
    5.     This is expected
    6.     Let’s fix grub then we will come back to fixing wireless
    7.     Plug in your device to connect to the internet (USB Tethering or USB Ethernet)
    8.     Once you verify that you now have an internet connection run the following from terminal
    a.     ‘sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer’
    b.     ‘sudo apt-get update’
    c.     ‘sudo apt-get install grub-customizer’
    9.     You can also edit the grub.cfg manually if you know what you are doing… I did not
    10.   Open grub  customizer
    11.   It should auto populate and you should see ‘debian (kali linux)’ somewhere in the list
    12.   It should be mounted to /dev/sdb2 or /dev/sdc2 depending on how many devices you have
    13.   At this point go ahead and save
    14.   Reboot and test that you can get into each OS
    15.   This is where my inexperience got me. I spent 2 of my days so I am including this error: If when you boot into Kali you get an error somewhere that says ‘/bin/sh: can’t access tty: job control turned off’ look above it for an error that looks similar to ‘ALERT! /dev/sdc2 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!!’
    a.     That error is due to the mount point being incorrect in grub, reboot and from within grub highlight the kali boot. Press ‘e’ then towards the bottom you should see ‘root=/dev/sdc2’ change this to ‘root=/dev/sdb2’ again the number doesn’t matter just make sure it stays the same.
    b.     Press F10
    c.     If this boots fine then you will need to go back and fix the grub.cfg or load into Ubuntu and open grub customizer again, it should fix this
    16.   Now you have 3 working OS on the machine with one being on a USB! Congrats!
    17.   You can remove the USB with no worry of screwing up your install, but you will not be able to boot into Kali Linux until you replace it. I would suggest only removing it and replacing it while the machine is powered off, but that’s just me.
    Fix Wireless
    Now is the time to do what probably ¾ of you came here for. FIX THE DANG WIRELESS. This is a huge problem from Lenovo’s side that I hope they realize how important Linux is and will fix. I won’t hold my breath though.
    Log into Ubuntu : This is well documented in the following forum post on page 3 by user Haohe:
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2215044&page=3
    His has you download quite a large file, mine should be much smaller.
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
    1.     Download the attached package with the fix.
    2.     Connect your USB internet device (tether or ethernet)
    3.     Place the packages somewhere easy to access, in this example I will place them under ~/Desktop/WiFiFix
    4.     Type ‘cd ~/Desktop/WiFiFix/’
    5.     Now we need to prep the tools we need.
    6.     Type ‘sudo apt-get update’ – we did this before, but you know, just in case
    7.     Type ‘sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname –r`’   Note around uname-r they are the ` symbol not the ‘ this is located just above the tab on the same key as ~.
    8.     Type ‘make’
    9.     Type ‘sudo cp /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/ideapad-laptop.ko ~/ideapad-laptop.ko.backup’
    10.   Type ‘sudo cp ~/Desktop/WiFiFix/ideapad-laptop.ko /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/’
    11.   Type ‘sudo modprobe -r ideapad-laptop’
    12.   Type ‘sudo modprobe ideapad-laptop’
    13.   Type ‘sudo rfkill unblock all’
    14.   Type ‘sudo modprobe -r ideapad-laptop’
    15.   Type ‘sudo mv ~/ideapad-laptop.ko.backup /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/ideapad-laptop.ko’
    16.   Next we need to blacklist the ideapad module
    17.   Type ‘sudo echo 'blacklist ideapad-laptop' > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
    a.     The first time I tried this it wouldn’t work. So I did the following
    b.     ‘sudo touch /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
    c.     ‘sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
    d.     Enter     blacklist ideapad-laptop
    e.     Exit and save
    18.   Reboot your Yoga 2 13
    19.   Boot into kali and see if you have wireless, if you do then you are done. If not we will need to repeat this process with one small little change.
    Kali Wifi Fix
    1.     Copy the sources.list from the package provided
    2.     Replace /etc/apt/sources.list with the included
    3.     Some of the file path changes but the process remains the same from here.
    Congratulations you now have 3 OSes one portable to other machines and working wifi!
    Thank you

  • Windows 7 install on late 2011 MacBook Pro without bootcamp (performance issues)

    Hey guys I'm hoping I can get this issue resolved. I have purchased a late 2011 MacBook Pro (radeon 6750m 1gig). I installed a fresh copy of windows 7 without bootcamp. Having real issues with game performance like world of Warcraft. I have done this with an older unibody Mac and it ran great (for any non believer)... But now this time around I'm getting horrible fps in game. I'm thinking it may be driver related it buy I am having trouble finding the right drivers to see if that's then issue. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

    Shotgun00 wrote:
    That is completely false. There is no real need to leave OS X on the Mac if you don't want to, especially with Win 7 or 8. That may of been true with Windows XP but not anymore.
    The problem with leaving OS X installed is then you are really limited with what you can do with the drive. You can only have one Windows partition and if you fool with it at all Windows will no longer boot. you can't even change the OS X partition otherwise Windows would boot
    Windows 7 will install all by itself. No need for any Boot loaders or Hack Boot system. Pop the Win 7 DVD in the DVD drive and restart. Windows will be installed all by itself. But you do need the Apple support files.
    In the end if you are going to run Windows on a computer by itself then you really should not buy a Mac. The hardware is the same and as to the OPs perceived better built quality I personally do not see it. And if you actually read some of the posts on this and other Mac forums you will see that perceived build quality is just a bunch of hype, in my opinion.
    To the OP. You aren't missing anything.
    If you had carefully read what I wrote, I merely said that doing the install on a blank drive wasn't a good idea. That's because it can create issues the OP is having. A Mac's hardware is no different than a comparable Windows machine, but the EFI/BIOS/Firmware is. Macs are in something of a no-man's land in this regard, as they have neither an old-school BIOS or modern UEFI of recent Windows-based notebooks. I'm willing to bet that the performance problems the OP is having relates to the fact that a straight EFI install on a modern MBP "enables" (for lack of a better word) automatic graphic switching. The capability manifests, but the functionality is not there. Enterprising individuals have been trying to get graphic switching in Windows to work as it does on the OS X side ever since MacBooks debuted with this abliity but with zero success.
    Using Boot Camp bypasses this, as the discreet GPU is enabled full-time in Windows. Thus, you will realize proper performance.
    As far as perceived build quality, Apple machines are at the high end of the consumer notebook spectrum. They're certainly better than most of the other machines you can pick up at your local Best Buy, but they fall short of business-class machines such as the Dell Latitude/Precision, HP ProBook/EliteBook, and Lenovo ThinkPad.

  • External Dvd Install Windows 7 With MBR Partition

    I have imac, macmini and macbook pro. My dvd rom on my imac has a failure and does not read most of the dvd/cd roms. Now i have bought macosx mountain lion and made a clean install. Now i want to install windows 7/windows 8 to my imac with bootcamp. When i try to install it from external dvd rom
    it shows windows and efi icon. But when i want to install it with windows selection it does not boot. Or does only show efi dvd icon.
    If i try to install it from usb stick it only shows efi install. And i want to install it normal mbr record but i cannot do it in imac.
    And when i try above tests in my mac mini server it does them all normally. It can install everything in normal mode windos 7 or 8 what ever it doesn't care. . Below picture is taken from mac mini server.  My dvd rom is broken and i understand imacs bios does only install normal mbr via internal dvd rom. But now how can i install without internal dvd rom with mbr partition ?
    Below picture is taken from mac mini server i want to install with windows selection ???  Any ideas?

    Please re-post on the Boot Camp forum, that is where the Boot Camp and MS Windows gurus hang out. 

  • Install windows 7/8 on gpt-partition style???

    can't install windows on my iMac mid 2010 with a 3tb seagate with gpt-partition style. Please Help! :S

    All Macs use the GUID partition table. If you're trying to install Windows with EFI install, you should know that you can only do this with Windows 8 and Apple doesn't support this kind of installation, so it can fail and damage the Mac. The best way is to use Apple Boot Camp

  • Need help installing Win8.1 from USB on MBP.

    I have tried so many different things to get Windows 8.1 installing on my MacbookPro Late 2011 via USB.
    I have modified the Bootcamp app as to allow me to create a usb installation from .iso.
    Those instructions are here:
    Enable Bootcamp to install from usb for OSX 10.9**WORKS**
    However upon following through and rebooting after partitioning the MBP just goes to a black screen and I get "No bootable device found"
    I have tried creating a usb drive by cleaning, formating, and setting active a usb drive in Windows via diskpart. I then copied all elements
    from my Windows 8.1 Pro iso to it. However this only gives me EFI boot option on the boot select screen when holding option.
    The clean,partition,active steps were found here:
    Enable Bootcamp to install from usb for OSX 10.9**WORKS**
    EFI boot has never worked for me. It always results in windows install saying that the installer can't install to non GPT disks.
    Whenever I try to use EFI boot on the USB installer, the Windows 8.1 installer won't install to the parition that either I have made with the bootcamp utility or simple another fat32 parition I made myself without the bootcamp utility. (Hyrbrid MBR vs strict GPT?)
    After all this, simply inserting a windows 8.1 DVD into the drive I get the magical WINDOWS boot option in the boot option menu and I can install fine.
    Why can't I get USB install of windows working.
    I also still don't understand why EFI install never works for me.
    This is in regards to a late 2011 MBP with dvd drive. It is running Yosemite.

    You can use nvram (https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man8/nvram.8.html) but the issue is one of timing. If you are in BCA and BCA sets values and restarts, if you interrupt it using Alt key, switch to OSX (which will cause nvram to change as well), change nvram by guessing what BCA sets, and start again, what is not being set in nvram is lost.
    In your specific case, is the Optical drive broken for you to try and attempt a pure USB-only installation?
    If you make partitions using DU, and want BCA to use them, you must ensure an equivalent MBR set of entries.
    BCA was designed to take care of all this anyway.
    The easier method that I have suggested (via Feedback, to Apple Engineers) is to release firmware updates for all machine considered capable of running Yosemite/Mavericks and let them become UEFI compliant. If the CSM-BIOS layer already provides BIOS equivalents for EFI and Windows works using these with a Hybrid MBR, the EFI cousins should also work.
    The other challenge is that W7 has EFI support, but full UEFI is available in W8+. There is no motivation on either side to retrofit older OS/HW to make it all work together for the convenience of the consumer.

  • Programs not opening after install

    Alright... I am brand new to Linux operating systems (about roughly 2 days now, and making the switch from MS to Arch). after scouring the forums and the wiki I still can't open up the packages that I installed from the AUR,core,community, or extra repo's... I have tried opening up a terminal session and typing in the program name, but that didn't work, I have gone into the /bin folder and still nothing there either... where/how could I open the files that I installed on my system? If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated..Thanks

  • "Arch By Hand" UEFI GPT SSD LUKS Install Script

    Arch UEFI GPT LUKS (and non LUKS version) Automated Install Example Script, SSD friendly
    Please note that if you're going to use this you're going to have to a) customize it to fit your needs and b) know what system config you need to do post install (rc.* etc). It's a jumping off point.
    Want to put in a lot of effort just to get Arch Linux listed in your "bios" startup options? You're in the right post! Well, it's more than just that, of course. If you have an EFI machine, increasingly common, this might be of interest.
    I got this working on my x220 tablet and thought I'd post it here. I imagine that as Archboot and the official installer rev we'll see them support this kind of thing as well, so BBS seemed like a good place to post it, but if there is an appropriate wiki location I could add it there as well.
    This is pretty bare bones (otherwise you'd be using AIF or Archboot, natch) and should be customized for your own install purposes. Nonetheless, I suspect others may have been banging their heads on the low overhang of UEFI/GPT install and hope this helps them get up and running.
    This is pretty much all in the wiki and BBS in various places, particularly the GRUB2 wiki entry. However the GPT partitioning (and learning more of sgdisk) were challenging enough that I felt it would be useful for others to see a working script.
    I used the current-as-of-this-post Archboot iso (archlinux-2011.10-1-archboot.iso).
    Don't just dd the archlinux iso to a usb. Format the USB stick as an MBR FAT drive and dump the entire Archboot ISO contents to it. To be honest, I did this in an Ubuntu vmware image I had on my mac, though I'd like to include command line options for doing this. TODO!
    I also stuck the script (included herein) on the drive, but you could get it on the installation image at install time as well via scp or whatever you prefer.
    On my x220 I then set the UEFI "BIOS" (the UEFI setup) to boot *ONLY* from UEFI. Pretty important. You should probably also stack your USB drive to top of your startup list or manually select it at boot time.
    Boot from the USB stick. For my x220 I selected the second of the four efi grub options, x86_64.
    Once Archboot is up, immediately leave the installer (option 8)
    You may want to mount the usb drive to /src if you stuck this script on it. Archboot in UEFI mode doesn't seem to mount the usb drive properly (and the normal Archboot efi install will fail as well due to this). I think this is getting fixed in the next Archboot release, from what I've read on BBS.
    # mount /dev/sdb1 /src
    Run the script. For me this is
    # /src/myarch.sh
    (WARNING: will nuke everything on /dev/sda unless you've changed it).
    There are probably things that could be done better/cleaner, feel free to point those out. This is really just a jumping off point.
    UPDATE 15 NOV 2011: This now sources most packages locally to avoid kernel mismatch between install medium and install target.
    UPDATE 16 NOV 2011: Script now unified the boot and efi partitions.
    UPDATE 17 NOV 2011: Migrated code to github, including two versions (non-encrypted and LUKS-encrypted)
    UPDATE 18 NOV 2011: Added encrypted swap
    UPDATE 18 NOV 2011: Changed /boot/efi/grub to /boot/grub; removed extraneous /boot/efi directory entirely.
    UPDATE 19 NOV 2011: Added a post-install script to handle user setup, etc. No reboot required.
    UPDATE 20 NOV 2011: Post install section more complete, visudo automation added.
