  • I just downloaded bootcamp 3.1 to upgrade from 3.0.  I am using Snow Leopard.  is there anything special I have to do run the upgrade version when I open Boot Camp Assistant?? Thank you

    Hi everyone
    I am running Snow Leopard on my early 2006 MBP.  I just downloaded Boot Camp 3.1 so I can upgrade 3.0.  Is there anything special I need to do to "install" 3.1 so that when I run Boot Camp Assistant it uses 3.1 instead of 3.0?  Thank You.

    The Boot Camp 3.1 drivers you downloaded have to be installed in Windows after running Boot Camp Assistant. That update does not apply to Boot Camp Assistant, and as you are using Mac OS X 10.6.8, you are using the most recent Boot Camp Assistant version for Snow Leopard.
    Once you have installed Windows with Boot Camp, insert the Snow Leopard DVD in Windows and install the Boot Camp 3.0 drivers. Then, install the Boot Camp 3.1 drivers

  • Boot Camp Assistant thinks I'm booting from an external (not the case!)

    OK, long story short, I had Vista installed via boot camp, I'm going back to XP now. Problems arose and Boot Camp refused to let me restore the partition in order to start over.
    Here's what I did. I completely wiped the three drives I have installed in the Mac Pro — Completely: zeroed them out. RAIDed the two 500GB drives together like I've always had them. The 250GB (which has been in the past, and will be again, my boot camp drive) is left blank for the time being. I installed 10.5 onto the RAID pair. No problems so far. The moment I got to my desktop after installation I open Boot Camp Assistant. I click continue and it gives me the message I got before:
    "*You cannot partition an external disk drive.*
    Restart your computer using your computer's internal startup disk."
    Awesome. I don't even have any external drives attached.
    Any idea why I'm getting this? I've been struggling for the last week trying to figure this out.
    Here's a shot of the message along with a system profiler window with my hard drive details:

    Thanks for your insight,
    Sean

    I almost never use BootCamp Assistant and don't find it that useful.
    I will say that I would never, ever, RAID un-like drives and it seems you have Maxtor and Samsung for your RAID.
    I would only use Seagate if it was OEM, maybe, or a .11 new series.
    I assume you have 10.5.1+ and while I can't claim to have read even 10% or the threads in the Leopard forum, I can't recall hearing of the error you have with repair permissions, though I would always do so while booted from your boot drive, not from the DVD and 10.5.0 (I wasn't going to buy Leopard until it came out on a later version DVD, 10.5.0 is just "too early" for me).
    I always had to pull OS X system when I installed Vista x64.
    Not sure why, I don't think zeroing the drives was necessary to remove any and all partitions, though.

  • Problem with starting Boot camp

    Hi all,
    when i try to use boot camp assistant(open boot camp assistant and click continue) it say 'you must update your system soft ware before using this setup assistant' evebn though I have updated by system using Software update option. Please help out with this problem.
    Thanks..

    This solved my problem...
    I recommend going into your Disk Utility and under your hard drive on the left side click on the macintosh HD and then on the top make sure you have Journaling 'enabled.' (It's highlighted in green on the top menu bar in the disk utility box.)

  • Unable to Install Windows 7 using Boot Camp Assistant

    I recently suffered a hard disk failure. After replacing the disk, I have recovered all data with the exception of being unable to install windows 7 on a new boot camp partition.  I am able to create the partition using boot camp assistant, but I am subsequently been unable to install windows following the directions provided.  Any help would be appreciated.  I have a late 2009 27" iMac running OSX Mavericks.

    It depends of the OS X version you're using. If it's 10.6, insert the Mac OS X DVD and install them.
    If it's 10.7 or 10.8:
    1. Press X key while your Mac is starting to start into OS X.
    2. Open Boot Camp Assistant, download drivers and burn them into a DVD or USB drive.
    3. Start into Windows and install Boot Camp drivers

  • How can I activate Boot Camp Assistant?

    How can I activate Boot Camp?  I want to install an educational library that is on a CD.  People that have PC's can use the CD.  I have a mac mini and I want to open the CD to read/review.  I have the Snow Leopard model.

    Open Boot Camp Assistant in the Utilities folder. You will see the following:
    Click on the Print Installation & Setup Guide button. Click the OK button in the dropdown panel. You will now see the main Print panel. You can now print the document to your printer. If you prefer to make a PDF file you can read on the computer instead, then select Save as PDF from the PDF dropdown menu on the lower left. Save it to the location of your choice.
    Now, read this document carefully in order to follow the proper procedures for creating a Windows partition on your hard drive to which you can install Windows 7 from a retail Windows 7 installer DVD.
    Other options for running Windows:
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    6. Last is Q.  Q is a freeware emulator that is compatible with Intel Macs.  It is much slower than the virtualization software, Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Boot Camp Assistant leaves me at a gray apple screen

    I am working with a  2008 Mac Pro 3.1 w/ 1TB hard drive, a Lite-On iHAS dvd optical drive.  My operating system is Yosemite.  I am trying to install a Windows 7 partition, but Boot Camp Assistant is not being cooperative.  Here's my process for installing it with BootCamp:
    1.  Created Windows 7 x64 install disk from downloaded .iso file (en_windows_7_....iso) — Maybe I am using the wrong installer?
    2.  Open Boot Camp Assistant, went through the motions of downloading the drivers onto a separate external thumb drive, then partitioning hard drive to have WINDOWS partition. 
    3.  Boot Camp Assistant mentioned something to me about there being an extra bootable drive on an external drive (the thumb drive, I believe) and it wanted to disable that.
    4.  I disabled it.
    5.  Yosemite restarts.
    6.  The gray loading screen pops up with Apple logo.
    7.  Frozen for more than 10 min, at which point I believe something has erred.
    If anybody can help me resolve this issue, it would be much appreciated!  I'll be paying close attention to e-mail in order to provide quick responses to this thread.
    Thanks!
    Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10), Early 2008 Model

    I have read that I should try buying a second hard drive for Windows.  Confirm or refute.  It seems highly unnecessary. 
    I have also tried going to the manual boot screen–holding alt at boot time. same results occur as above.

  • Boot Camp Assistant says Install rather than Partition

    I have a second gen MacBook (Intel core 2 duo) I installed Windows XP via bootcamp back when I had OSX Tiger. Today, running OSX Lion, I deleted the windows partition with boot camp assistant, wanting to increase the hard drive size and install Windows 7. I successfully deleted the windows xp partition, and restarted the computer. Now I want to repartition the hard drive and install windows 7. I open boot camp assistant, click continue (only option) check 'install windows 7' and not 'download the latest windows support software from apple' as I already have this on an external hd and click continue. I choose the hard drive size, and boot camp assisnt has the option to 'install' and NOT 'partition'. I dont know why this occurs. anyway, if I click install, boot camp assistant says 'the installer disk could not be found' even though my windows 7 dvd is in the computer.
    So, my question boils down to, 'why can't i partition my disk for windows 7?'
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    After restoring, I lost my Recovery HD partition. I am currently working to get a new one. Perhaps I will install it AFTER boot camp is finished, which might solve the multiple-partitions error? I could use some advice here.
    At this point, bootcamp is giving me a new error which says some files cannot be moved. I am moving this to a new discussion HERE:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread/3298756
    Thanks for your help! Please respond to my new thread if you think you can contribute.

  • Cannot use Boot Camp Assistant

    I just installed Leopard 10.5 en updated it to 10.5.1. If I try to open Boot Camp Assistant, I get the message: 'You should update the Boot-ROM-firmware of your computer before you use Boot Camp Assistant'. Does anyone knows where I can find this firmware?

    I a having the same issue only with a macbook. This is the same message I got when I tried one of the later beta versions. I ended up just using one of the older ones until I installed leopard (yesterday). Before installing leopard I restored my hard drive to a single volume so I could use the new boot camp. It tells me I need to Update my Boot ROM firmware and I have found the correct update but when I go to install it the updater tells me that I do not need it. This is so frustrating.

  • Wanting to remove bootcamp but Boot Camp Assistant won't run

    I open Boot Camp Assistant on OS X Mavericks on my Early 2011 15" MacBook Pro and and it says that I need to update my boot ROM firmware before using the assistant. However, I am already running MBP81.0047.B27 which is the current one to my knowledge. What needs to be done then to remove my partition? Everything I have read says that Disk Utility is not the way to go.

    Have you run Software update to see if there is a firmware update?
    There is a support link.

  • Boot camp assistant problems: please help!

    ok, so i was running boot camp assistant on my macbook pro (13 inch) and everything was going fine. But when it was partitioning a space for the windows portion it never showed the bootcamp partition icon to the right on my desktop. I didn't know this was a problem until I tried to install the windows on my computer and it would not work because apparently it does not have the ntfs format. I tried it again two more times, both with no applications running. Is there something I am doing wrong?

    You should post in the Bootcamp forum where the Bootcamp gurus hang out.

    No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
    TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
    •  I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
    There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
    On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
    I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
    I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
    With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

  • Boot Camp Assistant doesn't open (Info.plist)
