How do i install boot camp on a brand new 3tb iMac osx 10.8.2

how do i install boot camp on a brand new 3tb iMac osx 10.8.2?

Note: At this time BootCamp doesn't support 3TB drives - this is due to a memory allocation issue with Windows. Check out this article on a/an (unreliable) work around. I say unreliable because some people are reporting success and others failure. At this time if you really need Windows it probably would be better to use virtualization software like Parallels, VMWare, or VirtualBox.

  • How do I install Boot Camp on my Mac Book OS X10.4 (Book camp not included in the  computer)

    I have a Mac Book with OS X 10.4, i.e., Boot Camp is not installed on the computer.  I had Boot Camp installed and was using Windows, but it crashed, so I want to remove it and reinstall.  I have downloaded the Boot Camp 3.3 drivers.  Where do I go from here?
    Thanks!

    Also: Boot Camp was a beta through v1.4 for Tiger (OS 10.4.6+).  As a beta, it no longer exists and isn't supported (as of 9/2007)
    You need at least Leopard (OS 10.5+) to get an official release, and to get the upgrade to Snow Leopard by itself.  This can be hard-to-find outside of second-hand online markets.  Leopard's last known box update carried 10.5.4.  The 2008 Mac Box Set may have carried a later version .  Either way, you'd get Boot Camp 2.0-2.2
    Snow Leopard v10.6.3 is the current retail box update, and the last on DVD.  This should give you Boot Camp 3.0.
    The current 3.x update for Macs not qualified to run Windows 7 is 3.2.  If you have a Mac that is Windows 7-qualified, you then update to 3.1 or 3.2--and finally to 3.3 only if you have Win 7 installed.
    All Windows 7-qualified Macs can run Lion, and Boot Camp 4.x by extension.  The only such Macs based on Tiger were:
    MacBook Pro (mid/late 2007)
    Mac mini (mid 2007)
    iMac (mid 2007 aluminum finish)
    All other Macs with Tiger do not qualify for Win 7, though some can run Lion while still running Boot Camp 3.2 as above.

  • Can't install Boot Camp Windows 7 on new rMBP

    I purchased a new rMBP and I am trying to install Windows 7 on it with a full install windows 7 disk.
    I have a usb superdrive with the windows disk in it.  I have downloaded the windows files to a usb flash drive through the boot camp assistant process.  Once I select the partition I get a message "Boot Camp needs to update the usb drive before installing windows 7."  I press continue, and it does the partition then attempts to reboot, but all I get is a black screen on the reboot process.
    I have read throuh numerous posts here but I am not sure any problems/solutions are the same as mine.
    I think it may have something to do with the usb flash drive and usb superdrive with the windows disk in conflicting each other.
    Any ideas would be appreciated. 
    Thank you

    Hey Bob,
    I found this thread because I had gotten the same error message about updating the usb drive, although my dvd drive is internal. I tried your advice anyway about removing the usb.
    Boot camp assistant proceeded to format my hd and then restarted my computer. (btw, I am running a mid 2010 Macbook with Mavericks. I have bootcamp 4 on a flash drive because that's the version required for my model of Macbook.)
    I was able to boot from the Windows 7 32-bit installation dvd, bun I got stuck shortly thereafter. The first screen had me pick my language. Next. Windows 7 logo with 'install now' button. Also two links "what to know before installing windows" and "repair your computer". I read that I should have had as option to format the drive but there was none. If I press 'install now' I get the following error message: "a required cd/dvd drive device driver is missing. if you have a driver floppy disk,cd, dvd, or usb flash drive, please insert it now. note: if the installation media is in the cd/dvd drive, you can safely remove it for this step."
    there's a browse button, rescan, and grayed-out next button. this.is where I'm stuck. i  also tried the same thing with the bootcamp usb plugged in but it didnt detect any drivers on there either.
    ive scoured google for these error messages and seen many suggestions, but none of them has worked for me.. any help would be much appreciated.

  • Installing boot camp on a second drive

    Hi All,
    First let me apologize for this long-winded post and also for my lack of basic knowledge when it comes to mac computer skills.
    I would like to install windows 7 on a brand new 500gb drive in a brand new mac pro.
    I was reading through the installation & setup up guide for boot camp and was stonewalled on page 6 it says;
    “If your computer has more than one internal disk and you want to install Boot Camp on a disk that isn’t in the first hard drive bay, remove the drives in the lower numbered bays. You can reinstall the drives after you install Boot Camp.”
    Ok that makes sense but if I remove the first drive how do I install boot camp since the first drive contains boot camp on it?
    The next question I have is; Can I make the whole 500gb drive one partition that will have boot camp, windows 7 and all the windows files on it or does it have to have just boot camp and windows 7?
    Thanks
    Mike

    Shutdown - pull OS X drive(s) - continue with install.
    You'll have to change to NTFS when you get to where to install.
    At that point you can even format or partition.
    As for the Assistant, well, some install Windows 7 on a drive without it (that can't be done with XP) and just leave one drive and boot from Win 7 DVD.
    "that will have boot camp...."
    There IS NO "boot camp." The assistant modified the partition table to include a standard MBR for booting Windows. And that would be on the #2 500GB.
    Until you install the Apple setup.exe drivers and services after Windows is installed from your OS X DVD, there is nothing in or on Windows that is faintly about boot camp. Unfortunate term. It also gets to become a control panel in Windows to change the default startup OS (why not call it Apple OS Switcher / Apple Startup Disk).
    There will be AppleTimeServices and AppleOSSwitcher services along with HAL and device drivers to enable them in Device Manager.
    As for lowered numbered and first drive bay, they must think Mac Pro owners are locked into and only boot from drive bay #1. and that Assistant is a very limited not very smart partitioning tool is true.
    So run Assistant but instead of restarting with the DVD and install, just shutdown. Pull all the other drives but 500GB. Then boot off the DVD.

    You really want to consider posting in the Boot Camp forum -

    An unsupported OS using software not designed for that unsupported OS, probably going to be hard pressed to get concrete answers.

  • Install boot camp partition on Mac mini

    How to install boot camp on a Mac mini? It ask for a bootable DVD which I have inserted in my Mac book pro, but it does not recognize the DVD. How can I install boot camp on a mini?

    The Mac mini 2011 model does not have a DVD drive. It is possible to install Mac software over the network using another Macs DVD drive but this will not let you install Windows.
    You need to either use an external DVD drive and connect it to the Mac mini, or for Windows 7 it is possible to copy the installer on to a USB memory stick, boot from the memory stick, and run the install from that.

  • Install boot camp

    Hi,
    I have been using parallels now for a while and it just seems too temperamental for doing important university work.
    How do I install boot camp on my new mac book? Are there any important things I should no when installing - i.e. size of partition has been mentioned to me.
    Thanks

    Joe:
    How do I install boot camp on my new mac book?
    The Boot Camp installation guide is [HERE|http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp>. It should be able to answer questions related to installation. Of course these discussions have several other information on boot camp/ windows. All you need to do is launch a search on them.
    Are there any important things I should no when installing - i.e. size of partition has been mentioned to me.
    Too many people make a partition very small and then regret having done so. My recommendation is to have a partition of at least 32GB. It is highly dependent on what your will be installing on Windows XP/Vista.

  • How to install Boot Camp on a MacBook Pro 2011

    Well I bought a new MacBook Pro and I have constantly been trying to install Boot Camp.
    When I open Boot Camp it shows me the Introduction, then it asks me if I would like to install the Lastest Windows Supports Software From Apple, and if I would like to Install Windows 7. I tick both boxes and then another page opens.
    It asks me if I would like to install it to a DVD or CD, or if I would like to install it to an external hard drive. Now, I have tried both of these, and they both show a page asking me how much space I would like to be Mac space, and Windows space. After I've chosen how much I would like, I click install. After about 30 seconds, a message pops up saying the installer disk could not be found, please insert the installer disk and wait a few seconds, and the click install again.
    I have done this many times, and that same message pops up. Please, if any of you people out there have the solution for me it would be gratefully apreciated.
    Thanks.

    No, it doesn't. You have to purchase the Windows 7 installer. Windows is not included with the computer. Did you discuss the matter with someone when you bought your computer? If you did they should have told you that you would need to buy Windows 7. If you had asked while you were purchasing the computer then you could have paid for Windows at the time and had it installed for you.

  • Forgotten how to install Boot Camp

    I had to reinstall Windows 7 64-bit because I needed more space for Mac OS X. After reinstallation, which went perfectly, I have forgotten how to install Boot Camp. This MBP 3.1 will not install Boot Camp from the Snow DVD because it says that 64-bit mode isn’t supported (not true). I installed several components by hand. All I remember from the old style of bulletin boards was to copy the Windows contents of the DVD on to the desktop, then to use SuperOrca to modify the ISO. I don’t, however, remember the exact details of what was supposed to be modified and how to do it. This is also supposed to prevent the error of Apple Software Update not recognizing the installation of BC 3.2 after it was done.
    I can’t find the old instructions with the new format, so any help is appreciated. Peace.

    Ok do this...
    Insert your Windows Bootcamp Drivers Disc (aka OSX Install disc that came with your computer).
    When you see the prompt from Windows Explorer, instead of clicking the "setup.exe" option scroll down and click in the Explore/view files (or something like that, don't remember.)
    Look into the folder labeled as Bootcamp, then click another folder called "drivers", inside there should be another folder labeled as "Apple".
    Inside, there should be a file labeled "bootcamp64.msi".
    Single click the file (bootcamp64.msi) and once it's highlighted, do a right click ( to do you must do the following key combo Shift+F10)
    A right click menu should appear. One of the options is labeled as "Troubleshoot Compatibility".
    A dialog should appear, click on the "Start Program" option when it becomes available.
    The Bootcamp Driver Wizard should now appear. Follow the prompts of Bootcamp Assistant as always.
    Drivers will install automatically.
    Reboot.
    Welcome to Windows 7 64-bit on your now Dual-Citizen Mac...
    Report back with your results...
