Windows 7 Professional (64bit) installation using bootcamp

I've read a 100 different posts on this forum regarding slightly different issues on this problem, but failed to solve it myself. I'm installing a copy of windows 7 professional (64-bit) through bootcamp on my iMac (bought late 2009) running OSX 10.6.4. The issue may be that I'm using an .ISO file (legitimate digital version i bought through school, with a serial key). I've burnt many different copies using both disk utility and Toast Titanium to make sure the disk burns in a bootable fashion. However I've had the exact same issue every single time. After partitioning the windows volume through bootcamp and initiating the windows install, the computer reboots. A screen appears and says 'loading files' the progress bar fills up twice and it then commences to another screen that 'Starting windows'. After about 15 seconds the disk drive audibly stops spinning and the computer hangs at this point seemingly frozen. I've done it multiple time erasing and re-partitioning the windows portion each time yet still hangs at the exact same point each time and I have to physically turn off the computer and restart. The only thing I have noticed is that a orangey-brown pixal appears above the 'windows starting' as if to commence a progress bar. This is driving me crazy as neither Microsoft or Mac support these issues.
Any help would be muchly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Pete

Burn the ISO in Windows?
*If you used Apple Disk Utility, as has been said 100x here, burn it at 2x reduced burn speed (sometimes it boots and installs but still fails otherwise).*

HP C309 G AIO can't install in Windows 7 64bit running under BootCamp

HP C309 G Printer wont install in Windows 7 64bit running under BootCamp on a new iMac
Just bought a new iMac. Installed HP C309 all in one without incident on the Mac side. I am also running Windows 7 on iMac through a program called Bootcamp. When I boot to Windows 7 and try to install the newly downloaded software for windows 7 from the HP site, it begins to load then stops, giving me two error messages. They are both essentially the same except one says software and the other says hardware. The software one says: This computer does not have the necessary USB software support to allow completion of a USB installation. The printer plugs directly into the monitor in one of four usb ports. All the usb ports work on the system when using Windows 7. I have other devices working and plugged into the usb ports while in Windows 7. It is almost like the printer software is unable to find the usb software or hardware. Any ideas

Well, you have a full Window's 7 install so you would really have to go to HP and/or Microsoft to see what is going on. Bootcamp basically is only involved with "booting" and just installs Apple product drivers and such. Just treat the Window's side as if you are using it on a "normal" Window's PC. (As far as problems, crash's, updates, or any other Windows, HP, etc, problems you may have.)
"Installed HP C309 all in one without incident on the Mac side."
So,,, that means the printer "works" (prints) on the Mac or the installer just worked? Make sure the Printer actually prints in the Mac side as you may have a dead USB port on the Printer. It happens.
If your HP works fine (prints) in the Apple environment you know it's not the USB ports on either the printer or the computer.
You said you already downloaded the newer versions, have you tried using the drivers on the install disk and then update them to the newer ones? Also if you haven't yet, make sure the drivers are for the 64bit version, just a thought.
That's about all my brain cells have so good luck.......

How can I create a new partition to install Windows 7 by not using Bootcamp

How can I create a new partition to install Windows 7 by not using Bootcamp?

If you want to dualboot you have to use boot camp i think. I think you have already a full disc and cannot make another partition I'm I right?
Your question seems a bit blurry so I'm giving you a general tip here.
If you want to just try the beta you can always use Sun's "Virtualbox".

Installing Windows 7 64-Bit Using BootCamp on Mac Pro 2,1 (Early 2007)

Hi everybody,
I have Mac Pro 2,1 (early 2007) 8-core, my OS X is 10.6.4, I couldn’t install Windows 7 64-Bit on BootCamp separate drive (as my Mac Pro 2,1 is not supported for this installation by Apple). I am seeking help if anyone find a trick to do that task. Your help on this will be highly appreciated.

I was waiting to see if the original poster was still intent on going through with it, since it's (a) lot of work, and (b) an unsupported configuration. Unless he's using > 4GB of memory I'm not sure why he needs the 64 bit version of Win7 (there's even less reason to run 64-bit Windows as a VM). I'm not prepared to assume the responsiblity of solving any/all current and future problems he may run into, especially if this is for "work" and not a hobby-level, "I just want Win7-64bit" situation. If he's reading this and wants to proceed -
The Jowie page, while workable, requires a more steps (i.e. even more work); plus, the screenshots used are from an earlier release of imgburn, which has different options from the current version, and if the original poster needs that much handholding he could be put off.
Win7 AIK is "needed" because of the oscdimg.exe that is included. It is the "official Microsoft sanctioned" way of generating Windows ISO images. It's a one-line command that outputs an ISO image file once you have the Win7 disc in the drive, no need to muck about checking/unchecking boxes etc., and running the risk of burning coasters (since there's no way of knowing whether your output works until you actually run it, and imgburn has too many ways of messing up when you don't know what you're doing).
There are alternate "direct" sources for oscdimg.exe, which are smaller downloads than Win7 AIK http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=696dd665-9f76-4177-a 811-39c26d3b3b34&displaylang=en , but I'm a little chary of "programs sourced from unidentified hosts", even though I'm certain most of them are just being helpful and are not malicious (have you read Ken Thompson's Reflections on Trusting Trust - http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/ken/trust.html )
If the original poster (or anyone else reading) is interested, either the jowie.com method can be used, if you are averse to a command line or have poor download bandwidth, or you can get oscdimg.exe (however you choose to do so) and execute:
oscdimg -n -m -bd:\boot\etfsboot.com d:\ c:\iso\win7dvd.iso
assuming oscdimg.exe is in your path (or your current directory), and you've created a directory c:\iso
Incidentally, after getting 64-bit Win7 installed your problems aren't over yet, because Boot Camp will refuse to install the 64 bit version on your "unsupported" machine. There is a workaround (see my post in the thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2589967&tstart=0 ) but I do not know if there will be a future release of Boot Camp that would defeat this.

Hello
Vendor ID 102F is Toshiba America but PCI database doesnt show more informations
To give you a more detailed answer it would be interesting to know which driver you have already installed.

-Windows 7
-Chipset driver
-Storage Manager
-Display driver
-Sound driver
-LAN driver
-WLAN driver
-Bluetooth driver
-Infrared driver

-Card reader driver
-Webcam driver
-Toshiba Value Added Package

I hope it helps. :)

I have Windows Professional and I used to be able to move the curser over the Firefox icon in the taskbar and it would give me a telescoped view of all open tabs, now it just shows the tab that I'm currently viewing. How do I fix this?

Hey MikeDo,
Do you have the option checked for ''Show Tab Previews in the Windows Taskbar''? If not, just go to ''tools->options->tabs.'' You can find more information on what each of these settings do in the Knowledge Base article [[Options window - Tabs panel]].
Hopefully this helps!

Is it dffernet to install windows through parallels and use bootcamp ?????

I've used to bootcamp install windows , Can i use parallel to use it

If Parallels will run okay with Panther then you can install Windows into it. Parallels runs like a native Apple program on your desktop. Windows runs in Parallels the same as it would in Virtual PC. If you use bootcamp then you are setting up your Mac to dual boot Windows or the Mac OS. I have tried both and Parallels is way more convenient.

How to put windows 7 on mac using bootcamp?

i have a 2010 macbook air and an imac, i dont mind which windows 7 is on. i have a 4 gb usb, 4.7 gb disks and a downloaded (its not from microsoft) copy of windows 7.iso. macbook air has about 25gb of space left and imac over 3000gb. i need to know how to put windows 7 on bott camp with either machine.

Use the BootCamp Aaistant, located in your Applications> Utilities folder. It will walk you thru the installation steps. howeve, once you get to the Windows installation step the Windows installer will check with MS if you have a legitimate copy.

Can't create a Windows Seven USB drive using Bootcamp

Hi! I ve been trying to create a Windows Seven bootable USB drive using the Bootcamp Assistant. I tried to create it using an ISO of my Windows DVD in order to install it on my new Mac Mini. My problem is that I get an error: Your bootable USB drive could not be created, an error occurred while copying the windows installation files. My USB drive is 8G, and I‘ve tried with a 100G external HDD too... So it‘s not a size problem. I also tried to format the drive different ways without any success... I found lots of threads relating to this problem but none of them had a solution. Any clues? Thanks in advance!

Windows 7 on iMac using Bootcamp**HELP**

I've been trying to install Windows 7 on my 2011 iMac (i3 core). The internal superdrive no longer works - it only accepts CDs - when ever I insert a DVD it gets ejected after a few moments. This iMac is out of warranty and no AppleCare was ever purchased.
I've also tried creating a bootable USB iso, but when ever I go through the Bootcamp process and the computer restarts to begin the Windows install process I get the message 'Insert Boot disc and press any key to continue'. For some reasons it doesn't see the USB iso. I've also tried using a Seagate 250G FreeAgent drive I had laying around by turning it into a bootable iso, but had the same 'no boot disc' issue.
I purchased an external DVD drive (Samsung), but again when I go through the Bootcamp process and the iMac restarts to begin the Windows install I get the same no bootable disc even though the windows install DVD is inserted in the external DVD drive.
I'm at my whits end and frustrated with Apple... this iMac is under 3 years old!
Any help with this install...?

Holding alt key does bring up the choices, but I never see the bootable USB or external DVD drive as options... I only see the 2 partitions - the main iMac and the partition created by Bootcamp to install windows.

Can I install Windows Server 2008 R2 using Bootcamp? I do not want to install native, but may consider if that is the only way....

I already have Win 7 on an internal Bootcamp drive. It so far has worked well, Bootcamp performance drag is minimal, if at all. Now I want to install Win Server 2008 R2 and load a bunch of virtuals using Hyper-V Manager. The virtuals are already created. This is to practice for a certification test....
Running Mountain Lion, 2010 MP 2 X 2.4 (8 core) 24 GB RAM, all HDD slots full.

Works like a charm. Apple Supports says you can have multiple instances of Bootcamp. Win Server 2008 R2 is up and running, drivers installed (except issues with Bluetooth) and accepting Windows Updates and Service Packs.

HP G60-214em Windows 7 64bit installation

Hi
I wonder if anyone can help please.
I am trying to install windows 7 on my HP G60-214em. I have windows on USB stick which works fine.
I got to the part where I can remove the partions and create new one.
Deleted both partitions. It now doesnt seem to find my drive.
