Need help with Boot Camp and Win 7
I have iMac 27" (iMac11,1) 2.8 GHz, quad core, 8MB of L3, 8GB of Memory, Boot ROM Version IM111.0034.B02 and SMC Version 1.54f36 and can't get this machine to run Windows 7 using Boot Camp. I have successfully loaded Win 7 but when it claims to be starting I only get a black screen after initial start up.
I have checked and rechecked my software updates and have read and reread the instructions, however, I can't update my Boot Camp to 3.1 (my machine says i'm running 3.0.4) and I need 3.1 but can't load 3.1 because it is an exe file that has to be loaded into Windows after I load Windows but can't open Windows because I can't load Boot Camp 3.1. That's my excuse anyway, so I'm missing something I just can't figure out what it is....this is where you come in!
Thanks.
MikeMike,
I'm not going to be much help with Boot Camp however I can direct you to the Boot Camp forum where there are more people that know how to troubleshoot it and Windoze 7. You can find it at:

I already have windows 8 pro with boot camp 4 installed on my macair book 11". I have searched the entire articles on how to upgrade boot camp 4 to boot camp 5 but have found no answer as to my question: Do you have to uninstall boot camp 4 drivers before you install boot camp 5? I am not sure if it is ok to install boot camp 5 directly without uninstalling boot camp 4 because there might be driver version conflict. So I have not installed boot camp 5. Is it ok to install boot camp 5 withoust uninstalling boot camp 4? Your answers will be much appreciated. Thanks.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You don't have to uninstall Boot Camp 4 drivers before installing Boot Camp 5 drivers. Boot Camp 5 drivers will simply overwrite Boot Camp 4 drivers, so you don't have to uninstall old drivers before installing new ones and making that process easier -
A Potential Convert Looking for Some Help with Boot Camp
I posted this in the Macbook Pro forums, and somebody directed me here. Hopefully you can help me with my questions.
Hello,
I have been a PC user ever since I can remember. I have loved the operating system and have had a Dell Laptop for 4 years now without any problems at all. I have no qualms with the Windows Operating Systems. But, it is time for me to get a new laptop, as I will soon be heading off to college. I was thinking about getting another PC, as they are significantly cheaper than the lower-end MBP that I would get, but I was also thinking about trying out a Mac. I plan on using this laptop for most of my undergraduate education though, so I don't want to buy something and find out it isn't what I want or I can't use it. So, if you would help me, I would like to ask some questions about the lower-end Macbook Pro, and I may just end up getting one.
First things first, I am going to be going into engineering, likely mechanical or systems, at either WPI, Northeastern, or Tufts. Ah the experience of choosing colleged. I know Tufts uses AutoCAD, WPI uses SolidWorks, but I am not sure which Northeastern uses. Either way, I most certainly will be using a CAD program. I know that most CAD programs do not work on Macs, so I will likely be using Boot Camp. I have though seen on these boards that the AutoCAD licensing does not work with Boot Camp, or that some users have faced major problems with it. If this is so, then it is highly likely that I will be unable to get a Mac as that program is going to be an absolute necessity. Even if this is just a small percentage of the population, I do not want to find mine being of major issue. For those of you who have gotten it to work, how difficult was the installation, and have you had any issues with AutoCAD or the like? With this in mind, would you even suggest that I get a MBP?
Another Boot Camp question. I have read many posts on these boards discussing different partitioning options, yet I still am unsure what they all mean. I expect to use the Windows side for more than just AutoCAD. I likely will install some games on it for when I am bored, and Microsoft Office, as I do not wish to spend the extra money buying Office for Mac and I need to have the versatility of Excel that I have heard is not found in the Mac version. What is the difference between these two partitioning types, which would you recommend, and how much storage should I partition if I get a 200GB hard drive?
Yet another Boot Camp question, sorry for so many of these. My friend who has a Mac lauds it for its security, nobody makes viruses for Macs. As I will most definitively be using Windows in Boot Camp, would this compromise this security? I know it will be Windows, but I still imagine that it would be encoded somewhat differently then normal, but I could be wrong. Also, if it is possible for the Windows portion to get a virus, could that affect the Mac portion?
Also, I don't use an iPod. I suppose I always thought they were overpriced for what they do. Instead I use an Iriver Clix 2, and I love it. The only thing is, I use Windows Media Player to sync it with my library. I know many have qualms with WMP, but I personally favor it more than iTunes, but that is just me. I do not believe that you can download it for a Mac. If I were to download it for the Windows portion, I am assuming that I would have to switch to Windows in order to listen to my music then, correct? I can also add music to it via Windows Explorer. Can I do so through the "Finder"?
Finally, is the battery life any different when using Windows than when using Leopard? I will likely be using the Windows portion in the class room.
Sorry for the long-winded post, but I am certainly hoping that I can get some solid answers to make an educated decision before getting my next laptop. I would like to thank you very much for any help that you are able to give me. I do hope you can help me quickly. Thank you.
Message was edited by: PyrojoeI can't answer all your questions, especially not anything having to do with CAD.
I still imagine that [Windows] would be encoded somewhat differently then normal,
No. Windows is Windows. You will need a good Windows antivirus, firewall and antispyware program. It is unlikely that a Windows virus will infect the Mac partition because, ordinarily, Windows doesn't know how to do anything with the HFS+ formatted Mac partition. However, the existence of products like MacDrive means that it is possible to teach Windows how to write to the Mac partition, so I see no reason why a virus could not be programmed to.
If I were to download it for the Windows portion, I am assuming that I would have to switch to Windows in order to listen to my music then, correct? I can also add music to it via Windows Explorer. Can I do so through the "Finder"?
Yes. Probably/yes.
Finally, is the battery life any different when using Windows than when using Leopard?
Yes. Windows does not have the battery management that Leopard has. The battery runs down much quicker in Windows.
You didn't ask, but depending on what kind of engineering you want to study, you may be interested in, or even need to, use some flavour of Unix/Linux. On the one hand, you could always create a partition on a PC--or wipe Windows--and install Linux on the PC. That could even be a good learning experience. On the other hand, Mac OS is Unix, but preinstalled. So with a Mac, you would already have a platform for writing shell scripts, you would have Perl and Python built-in, you would have an IDE (XCode Tools) for C/C++/Objective C/Java as well as gcc and make tools already on the disks which come with the computer, and so on.

I need help with Boot Camp 2.1! Win XP
I have downloaded the update on Windows XP SP2, but it will not install.
"The installation encountered errors.... Try again at a different time." That's what comes up.
I have tried everything! The command shell thing where you have to type the path of the update file (cmd.exe), I have checked the language code (yes it is 1033) and I have downloaded the files seperately. NOTHING WORKS! I have even re-installed Boot Camp.
I have:
Mac Pro
10.5.4 Leopard
Windows XP SP2
Any help will be appreciated!I have found a solution!
Well not for installing Boot Camp 2.1 but for installing XP SP3 with Boot Camp 2.0!
I found it on a website but I can't remember which one. But here is what I did.
Start> Run:
Type: regedit
Click "OK"
On the left side of the window there should be a panel with folders name similar to "HKEY_....". Click on:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE> SOFTWARE> Microsoft> Windows> Current Version> Double click "Setup"
On the window should appear a few files next to the panel on the left. The file type should have "REG" then something after it.
Check in the "Name" column that you DO NOT have "BootDir". If you do then this is not the answer for you!
If you don't have that file:
Click EDIT> NEW> STRING VALUE
Name it: BootDir
Right click the file and go to Modify.
Then type in: C:\ and press OK (Or if another drive is your main drive (eg. D) then type in the letter of that drive instead of C (eg. D:\)).
Restart the computer and go into Windows again. Then download the SP3 update in whatever way you have done before.
The installation should continue without the message saying "You need more memory" or something.

Hi. I bought Windows Vista Home Basic today to install on my mac with boot camp. I let boot camp partition the drive with 32GB, and when I ran the Vista installer, it said that the partition needs to be formatted with NTFS. I go ahead and quit the installer, the machine reboots, but it boots from the CD. I tried holding down X and Option-Cmd-Shift-Del to no avail.
How can I just boot from the HDD instead of the optical drive?
Help would be much appreciated.Thanks for answering, but I figured out the problem the minute after I posted. First of all, I didn't read the info 2 pages after the page I was on about boot camp (didn't know you could format it then and there), and all I had to do was press the eject key after the startup chime sounded
So now I successfully have a 50GB partition to Vista, fired up the Halo Trial, and fragged some noobz.
However I do have another problem that I need some help with, whenever I boot into vista, my internet is extremely slow. I looked up the problem and I found that I needed to install another driver called Broadcom or something, however when I double clicked on it, Vista asked me to cancel or allow (chuckles) and nothing happens. If I reset my router, however, the problems are fixed and I'm back at 10Mbps.
P.S. I didn't back up Leopard since I hardly have anything on my Mac for now as I just bought it 2 weeks ago, and it only takes an hour or so to reinstall; but I'll buy a drive for Time Machine soon. Time Machine does allow you to restore your files after a Leopard reinstall right?
Thanks. -
Can I install Windows 7 with boot camp, but install all my PC games for it on an external hardrive?
I have a new Mac, but I want to install Windows 7 with boot camp on it. However, I would only really be using it for gaming.
On another post, someone said that you could not install boot camp entirely onto an external hardrive. As boot camp would only be for gaming, then could I install all my games (when I'm given the option to chose the file of where to install) onto an external drive which is correctly formatted? (what is the format too?) Also, which would allow for a faster gameplay, USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt? as fast gameplay is important
Thank youHow to move steam to another drive:
Delete everything in the Steam folder except for the "steam.exe" and the "steamapps" folder
Move the steam folder over to the secondary drive you want it on
Open the "steam.exe" and it will reconfigure steam
Log in and BAM! All your games are recognized
Now, you can put what ever games you want on the SSD with Steam Mover (or junctions)
Create another folder on the C:\ drive and name it (C:\Users\Sean\Steam Games)
Run Steam Mover and have it move the game to that location and you are done!
Now go play the games you want!
How to have steam on the SSD while having the games on either the SSD or HDD:
Delete everything in the Steam folder except for the "steam.exe" and the "steamapps" folder

Have the "steamapps" folder on the HDD you want to store your games (D:\User\Program Files\Steam\steamapps)
Make a junction from the "steamapps" folder to the SSD folder with the "steam.exe" in it
Open the "steam.exe" and it will reconfigure steam

Thank YouI don't use Bootcamp/Parallels/Windows but I saw in the Bootcamp forums that someone solved this issue by going to the ATI site and downloading and installing the X1900 drivers for Windows (http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html). They had to do this while in Windows (which was difficult) do to the garbled screen but managed to suceed. Not sure why they didn't download the trial version of Parallels and do the same thing with an ungarbled screen.

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I need to know. I have been trying unsuccessfully for about a month now, and I cannot get Boot Camp drivers to work. I have consulted many guides from the internet, gone to a Mac Store for support, no help from either.
I am running on a new Macbook 13 inch with OS X 10.5.6. I have installed Windows XP with SP2 built in, and I have tried installing the drivers with the Leopard CD, with a downloaded drivers CD from a website, but it still doesn't work. I have no idea what I am doing wrong, but none of the drivers work. I see the Boot Camp Control Panel, but the only tabs it has is Power, Brightness, Restart in ..., and Remote. If anybody could help me with installing these drivers, it would be greatly appreciated.Run Bootcamp assistant and choose to download the (correct) Win drivers for your machine on a USB drive. Then stop the Bootcamp install and go to install the drivers in Win.
Cheers

Help with Boot Camp Internet Drivers (Mac Mini 2011)
Hi all- I've come here looking for some help / advice with regards to internet access on Boot Camp I have recently installed.
I have recently bought a Mac Mini i5 2011, and installed Windows 7 onto it. When I run OSX, I can access the internet with no issues, however when in Boot Camp, I come up against problems with Broadcom drivers and being able to connect.
I have put my Snow Leopard disc (from the MBP I'm transferring from) into my superdrive, and installed the 64-bit drivers.
I've also installed Boot Camp 3.1 and 3.2 updates.
I have also tried installing the Broadcom wireless n drivers after searching for them in the list.
Plugging an ethernet cable into the router doesn't work either, and I'm beginning to run out of options to try.
Re-installing Windows hasn't worked.
Any help will be appreciated, hope I'm not the only one to encounter this issue!Google is your friend. An OEM DVD from another Mac is not though would think/hope - and forget reinstalling.
Blame Apple. Goes same for audio, graphics.
Broadcom drivers search on this forum.... should find lots of folks running into issues.

Help with boot camp partition on leopard!
So I wanted to increase my partition disc size, because I ran out of space. So I restored it and started the whole process over again, using like 75 out of the 102 gigs of free space. This time, something went wrong. I window came up and said:
"The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved. Back up the disk and use the disk utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended(journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
All I want to do is repartition it... I need help plz, thanks. Oh and I assumed the big files were obstacles so I deleted some 1-6 gig stuff I used to use not anymore(not any system stuff either) but that didn't work. Help!I bought a new MacBook today with Leopard. I tried to install Windows XP (with service pack 2). I chose 32GB for windows. When I clicked start installation the screen went white, the windows CD was ejected and nothing else happened.
I had to switch it off manually and then I tried to restart the MacBook. The screen was just black.
I just read this:
+This means that the Windows partition is not bootable, usually because of a formatting problem. The Boot Camp Setup Assistant creates the Boot Camp partition, but the Windows installer must format it. Boot back into Mac OS X and re run the Boot Camp Setup Assistant. Remove the partition and re create it. Then install Windows again, this time allowing Windows to format the partition. Refer to the "Boot Camp Installation & Setup Guide" PDF document for more detail on installing Boot Camp.+
I couldn't reboot it into the Mac OS X so I went back to PC World and created merry ****.
They blamed me and I blamed them and said there was a formatting problem. I left the MacBook with them and they said they would try and install windows XP for me. I collect it today.
What do I do if they can't get windows on there as I don't really understand what I read above so will need something a bit clearer....step-by-step.

Hi, I accidently installed windows 7 without copying 3.0 boot camp files and the disk is not with me it's like in another country. Is there a way to download boot camp 3.0? cause currently I cannot go back to OS stuck on Windows. What should I do? all my stuff is on OS..help would be great, please.
You can not download the BC 3.0 drivers, they are only available from the disk.
Reboot and hold the option key down, select OSX and Read The Boot Camp Directions before you break something! -

Need help with Boot Camp dual booting
I'm trying to install windows 7 on a separate partition but after the mac book pro restarts to start the installation it says windows can't be installed because it needs to be NTFS format
but the mac partition is Mac OS Extended(journaled) but gives no option to format the other partition as NTFS
what to do?I assume you did not use Boot Camp Assistant to create the Windows partition? If you did and are in the Win 7 installer you should be looking at a display of all the partitions on your hard drive. Locate the partition you allocated for Boot Camp (you should know it by its size and/or it has the volume name of BOOT CAMP. Select the volume then click on the option to Format the volume from the group of options at the lower part of the display. If the option is not active then with the volume selected click on the Delete option. Refresh the display then reselect the now unallocated volume and click on the Format option.
If none of the above work then reboot. When you hear the chime hold down the C key and wait until the computer starts up from the Windows DVD. When you reach the same point as above locate and select the unallocated volume for Boot Camp. Click on that Format option.
