How to enable VT-x for Win 7 boot camp partition MacBook pro?

I am trying to install HAXM to accelerate my android emulator, but I am having problems. I have a Win 7 bootcamp partition in my Macbook Pro, and when I am finishing the installation a message pops up saying that my VT-x is not enabled, the problem is that I can't access the BIOS to turn on the virtualization easily like a PC user, How to enable the VT-x for Win 7 boot camp partition?
The VT-x is running beautiful in my macintosh partition, but I can't understand why in my boot camp partition the VT-x remains disabled.
My processor is a Intel Core I5-2435M , I downloaded the intel processor identification utility, and my processor supports the virtualization tech and hyper-threading tech.

You can return that Mac for a full refund if it is less than 14 days from date of purchase.

I have the same problem. Have you figured this out yet? I just bought a MacBook Air 2013. I thought I would be able to use Virtualization because it has a supported processor, but now it won't work in Boot Camp.

How to update xp to sp3 on boot camp partition

I am running Windows XP via boot camp (only to use cad drawing program) Each time I try to update windows to SP3 I get the message that I have not got enough memory to do this ( or the update crashes and then uninstalls SP3 )The boot camp partition is 34 Gb as default The Imac has 3gb ram with a 320 hard drive memory what do I need to do to update to SP3 in order for bit defender 2012 to run
I have virtually nothing on the boot camp partition apart from the cad programme which I do not think is very big

Anything non-essential connected during the update ?
Like external harddisk, printer, scanner, etc.
If so, disconnect prior to starting the update.
Run a CHKDSK http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/c hkdsk.mspx?mfr=true before attempting the next update.
Maybe some error turns up.

Windows 7 Boot Camp on MacBook Pro 10.5.8

Hey there,
So I'm mostly use my Macbook Pro boot camp'd and am upgrading from XP to Windows 7. I'm looking everywhere online and it looks like I need Snow Leopard for the Boot Camp v3.0+. There's no where I can find that is selling Snow Leopard or Lion or Mountain Lion DVD's anywhere at reasonable prices ($95 on Amazon for SL). I won't have a problem installing the OS itself manually through DiskUtility, but with drivers I don't think they work properly with Win7.
Anyone know what to do?

Hello,
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It's been pulled from the online store, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard, but quick, call before it's gone!
Call Apple 1-800-MY-APPLE
You have to get 10.6.8 first to go even higher to 10.7 or 10.8

How do I remove the old windows boot camp partition which is now useless on my new Macbook pro

I had boot camped windows Vista to my old Macbook Pro 2009.
When I bought a new Macbook Pro Retina Late 2013, I restored from my Time Machine backup. It never put Windows Vista on as there was compatability issues.
I recently tried to partition in Boot Camp to install Windows 8 so that I can use a particular program for work. The "ghost" partition is still there and I can't see an option to make the HD as one again. Boot Camp wants me to format the HD as single and journaled which I understand but if I restore from my backup it puts the "ghost" partition back in. 6 hours of waiting to find that out!
Any ideas?
Thanks

Thanks for responding.
Boot Camp shows my HD as a rectangle when I go to the "partition" tab but nearly half of it is white. Is this the free space?
The error message I got was:-
The disk cannot be partitioned because some of the files could not be moved.
Back up the disk and use 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.
I was only making a small partition, so it couldn't have been too big.
There is no evidence of any Windows installation or a physical partition but it must be there to get that message. Is that correct?
I can't see an option to format my whole HD but even if there was, the problem would reappear when restored from TMachine.
UPDATE:
just tried to make the white area on my HD into a new partition and then erase it.
I'm trying Boot Camp again to see if that has worked. It just takes about 2 hours to get to the problem stage again!!

[SOLVED] Is Refit required for single-boot Arch on Macbook Pro?

I have a Macbook Pro 7.1, and now that the issue with a non-supported chipset has a workaround I am planning to create a single boot Arch system using the latest Archboot that comes with the 2.6.35 kernel.
If I understand well I need the non-efi grub combined with the firmware's bios compatibility mode if I want 2d/3d accelerated gfx, since that does not work currently with grub2-efi. One question I cannot find an answer to though is whether or not I need Refit and an EFI partition for this. The Arch wiki (nor the Debian/Gentoo/Refit docs) is not very clear about this. Is it only needed for multi-boot setups or for all setups that use bios compatibility?

Do you mean that I need to install Arch besides the existing OSX and 'bless' that arch partition from OSX in order to be able to remove all non-Arch partitions?
Veovis Muad'dib wrote:, and then make sure to never zap the PRAM..
Not that I was planning to do this, but does this remove the possibility to boot Arch?
Veovis Muad'dib wrote:As for if you can change BIOS settings, no. You can change boot disk, but that's it. What would you need to do in the BIOS anyway?.
I just thought it might come in handy for tweaking powermanagement, wake-on-lan, bluetooth and stuff like that.

Thanks all for the info!

Does anyone know how to install drivers etc for Epson SX435W on new Macbook Pro?

Windows not finding Boot Camp on MacBook Pro

Hey everyone. I have Windows 7 64-bit and a MacBook Pro (mid 2010) with OS X Lion installed. When I boot up in Windows, it seems that only half of the time Windows realizes that it is on a Mac. Meaning...only half of the time the Boot Camp program is running in the notification tray, and only half of the time will Windows register the volume up/down, brightness up/down, and keyboard backlight up/down buttons on the Mac. It makes it very difficult to say...adjust the brightness or volume in the middle of a game. I can still go out of the game and turn up the volume in the notification area, but it is becoming a huge hassle. Like I said, this is only happening about half of the time. The other half of the time Windows registers that Boot Camp is on it, there is the Boot Camp icon in the bottom right corner of Windows, and all of my control buttons (brightness, volume, etc.) work just fine. Any ideas on how to make this happen every time? Thanks.

Need help installing boot camp onto macbook pro

I'm attempting to get Boot Camp to run on my MacBook Pro as I need to run several programs on windows for school. I purchased a Windows 8.1 download from Microsoft's website. The download from their website is not an ISO image and is not recognized by the Boot Camp Assistant on the "Create Bootable USB Drive for Windows Installation" screen. I am not a tech savvy person and I would appreciate any help/advice, it seems that I have to somehow convert the download?
Thank you!

You get an ISO using this method - http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-download-the-official-microsoft-windows-8-1-is o/
You will need the ISO to be able to build the USB that Bootcamp needs.

Trying to install Boot Camp on MacBook Pro (late 2011) os x Lion

Hey everyone,
I've been trying to install Boot Camp for my MacBook but when I get up to installing the Windows support software it just stops at around 20% and won't go any further. I've tried restarting the whole thing a few times but it still won't move at all. It's very frustrating as I need some software for one of my University papers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

INSTALLING BOOT CAMP on MacBook Pro

Can anyone guide or help me? I will pay. If the WSJ says you can do it it must be doable. I have downloaded four versions of the figgin Boot Camp and tried to install it ten times. I cannot get the reboot to produce the two partitions and yes I'm holding the options key down.
Any thoughts, ideas, help would be appreciated. I will gladl pay for a phone consult to get BC on my new MBP.
Thank you, regards, Tim

1) Download Boot Camp software, install it.
2) Navigate to Applications\Utilities, and run the Boot Camp Assistant. This program will partition your hard drive for you, and burn a CD with drivers for Windows on it. After, it will ask you to insert your Windows XP SP2 CD and restart the computer. Do so.
3) The Windows XP will load up, and you have to work through installing windows. MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE THE NEW PARTITION YOU MADE, NOT YOUR OS X PARTITION.
4) After plugging through the Win XP install, you remove the Win XP cd and restart the computer. Hold Option, and your boot drive options will come up. Choose Windows.
5) Win XP will load up, go through the introduction stuff, hit cancel on any "New Hardware Found" windows that pop up. Stick in the driver CD you burned in OS X, and work your way through that install program.
6) You're done! Enjoy.

Weird DVD drive issue on Windows Boot Camp on Macbook Pro

Hi, I just installed Windows on my Macbook Pro with Boot Camp. Windows itself works fine, then I tried installing Fallout 3. The installation took a really long time, which I thought was weird. I tried to play the game but it timed out in trying to read the disc. To further test this, I threw in a movie DVD and tried to play it. Windows Media Player said I didn't have a compatible DVD decoder. I tried playing the dvd in Mac OS and it works fine. I've also run the Leopard DVD install for Boot Camp fine. I used the Windows XP video decoder and it has determined that I don't have an MPEG-2 decoder installed. What I'm confused about is that if I manage to get a hold of a decoder, will that affect other processes, such as reading the DVD for video games?

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
by design courtesy of Microsoft the Media Player is not capable of playing DVDs unless an appropriate DVD-Decoder is installed.
You can use an alternative media player like VLC http://www.videolan.org/vlc
But this should not affect the usage of Windows Games, since usually a Games manufacturer puts all needed software to run his games onto the games CD/DVD, so it has to be something else preventing Fallout 3 from running.
Time-outs when trying to read/check the disc can be sometimes caused by 'dirt' on the disc (fingerprints, scratches, etc.).
Check for that.
Also make sure to have not installed programs for 'Virtual-Disc-Drives' like Daemon-Tools and/or Disc-Burning software like Nero, since these can also hinder the game from running.
Hope it helps
Stefan

Windows 8 on boot camp on MacBook Pro retina w/external monitors = screen resolution not correct

how do i calibrate external monitors resolutions individually in windows 8 (like can be done in OS X) so that my MacBook Pro retina text isn't teeny tiny and my external monitors look normal? Is there a way to set the resolution and text size for each monitor separate from one another in Windows 8? Thanks for the help.

In Windows 8 use the help menu and search for external display.
