Anyone managed to install windows 10 on MBP 2015?

via bootcamp. I tried so many times but it does not work. The laptop reboots while creating the windows partition but the windows installation does not start. Any idea? I know I can use Parallels etc but this question is about bootcamp.
Thanks

I understand the pain. I have done it all and managed to accomplish even the Bios updates. Don't ask me how because I have been through so many machinations that I am not sure. I am not even sure if everything I have is correct and there is no way I can find out. All attempts to have HP "fess-up" has fallen on deaf ears. They absolutely refuse to do what should be done. Instead they wish you to pay for their support. That is something I would not suggest since I do not trust their answers and they have no way to guarantee their work. I had no problem with Microsoft. I let them take control of my computer and everything pointed to bios. My situation currently is that restarting is a crapshoot. It takes multiple restarts to get a solid screen that won't go black. This suggests the nvidia environment. Also I have nvidia crashes while processing  once i do get up. These seem to be caught and corrected by Microsoft notifying me of the nvidia and bios problems. I could not even get HP to define their error statement, regarding the bios update, that my hardware did not meet the systems requirements. One positive suggestion I can make to resolve these problems is to NOT buy HP hardware in the future. It  is obvious they are going downhill. They have tried to get out of the business before. Perhaps they should. FYI: I was originally VISTA, updated to Windows 7, update to Windows 8.

  • Anyone manage to install Windows 8 on new Macbook air?

    Hello,
    Got a new "June 2013" MacbookAir 13" 8GB 256SSD and I've been trying for days to install Windows 8 PRO 64-bit using Bootcamp. No joy. Tried both a USB key and an external DVD drive. Same problem all the time: in the Windows 8 setup, I selec the country and language, press Next and it tells me that a "DVD media driver" is missing. I browse to the WINSTALL and BOOTCAMP directories on the USB key which Bootcamp created, it doesn't find any drivers.
    If I use Windows 7 32-bit, it gets to the country/keyboard selection and then freezes.
    Is it just that Bootcamp doesn't support Haswell yet? That's a pity cos it means I need to keep two laptops.
    Thanks for any advice,
    - Alan.

    Got it to work finally.
    Used BootCamp Assistant to download the Windows drivers to a USB key and create a BootCamp partition. Don't use it to create a USB boot disk.
    That's my biggest tip - use a DVD not a USB boot disk.
    Also, if you get a "media driver missing" error, then get a different ISO image and burn it to DVD. Don't use IMG files converted to ISO files.
    When Windows setup boots, you'll probably need to click on the advanced drive options and re-format the BOOTCAMP partition. Otherwise Windows will say that it can't install on it. Be careful that you select that one.
    During the setup, Windows will reboot. Remember to hold down the Alt key when you hear the dong and select the Windows DVD (first time) and the Windows drive (second time).
    After Windows installs, install the BootCamp drivers in WININSTALL\BootCamp on the USB key by running setup.
    Takes maybe 15 mins to install Windows 8.

  • Can't manage to install Windows using Bootcamp

    For some reason I can't manage to install Windows 7 using bootcamp. It paritions the disk, pop in the Windows installation DVD and restart.
    The Macbook Pro takes a while to startup (it stays on the grey screen for a while). After a while of waiting, it goes to a black screen with a white blinking thingy on the top left of the screen. Here is where it gets stuck... I've tried to leave it like that for 30 minutes or so, but it just keeps blinking.
    I tried holding the option key at startup and boot into the disc, but it does the same thing. I'm using a original Windows 7 DVD. I tried a XP CD also, no go.
    I'm using an early 2008 Macbook Pro (2.4Ghz) with Snow Leopard.
    Anyone can help?

    Having this exact issue after getting my (Early 2008 24", 3.06GHz, 8800GS) iMac back from having it's stock drive replaced by Apple.
    Prior to the drive replacement, it had a stock 500GB drive, and dual-booted 10.6/XP Pro flawlessly. Then the drive died. After running it off an external for a month, I brought it in for service.
    Apple replaced it with a 640GB, as apparently they don't stock the 500GB disks anymore.
    10.6 works fine.
    Applied updates, restored my home directory and apps from the external, no problems.
    Ran BootCamp Assistant, made a 120GB partition. Inserted the same XP CD I've used before. Reboot...black screen, flashing cursor. Waited 30 min for it to pick up, nada. Rebooted, held down Option, picked the disc - same deal.
    Rebooted into 10.6, checked the disc was readable. No problem. Tried starting an install in VMware from the disc. No problem. Tried the disc in my MBP. No problem, boots like a charm. Highly skeptical the CD is the issue.
    Re-ran BootCamp Assistant, merged the partition back into the 10.6 one. Rebooted from my 10.6 install disc, ran Disk Utility's Repair over the internal disc - no errors found. Repaired permissions to be safe (found a couple minor things in my home directory). Rebooted into 10.6 and ran BootCamp Assistant again, this time with a 32GB partition. Same problem.
    Rebooted from the 10.6 install media, wiped out the partitions, laid a new, fresh OSX install on the internal. Booted, ran updates, then BootCamp Assistant (did not copy any of my data back this time, nor did I install anything other than the OS and updates). Same problem.
    Shut down completely, unplugged for 5 min or so (reset SMC). Booted, clearing PRAM. Booted into 10.6, re-merged the partitions. Rebooted, clearing PRAM again. Booted into 10.6, ran BootCamp Assistant to create the partition. Rebooted, clearing PRAM yet again. Removed all peripherals save the keyboard/mouse. Tried to boot from the Windows CD - same problem.
    Dug out my WIn7RC1 DVD for kicks. Same problem through similar iterations. This disc also boots fine on the MBP, and can start a VMware installation without issue.
    As we speak, I'm booted from the 10.6 installation media once more, this time zeroing out the internal disc entirely. If this doesn't work, I'm not sure where to go next.

  • HT3986 Hi, i have a macbook pro version 10.6.8 with boot camp version 3.0.4. I managed to install windows 7 professional x64, however when i insert my OS CD to install the drivers using the boot camp method, it says unsupported to this computer model

    Hi, i have a macbook pro version 10.6.8 with boot camp version 3.0.4. I managed to install windows 7 professional x64 bits but however when i tried to install the drivers using the OSX MAC CD using boot camp, it prompt me boot camp x 64 is unsupported with this computer model. Then i tried the method by right click the bootcamp x64 and managed to install the drivers. However, i still couldnt manage access the internet and it prompts me no networking hardware detected...Any idea how can i solve it?
    P.S i tried updating my bootcamp version 3.0.4 in mac os with bootcamp x64 version 3.1 exe but it shows me weird wording..

  • Finally managed to install Windows 8.1 Enterprise on MBP2010.

    Hi.
    After several hours of tweaking, I finally managed to install Windows 8.1 - or ANY Windows, for that matter - on my old MacBook.
    Bootcamp has a few major flaws right now. I do no longer have an internal optical drive, so I had to use a usb flash drive or my usb optical drive. Both are unable to boot into the Setup for a MBR installation, only EFI works. That's looks like a bug in the firmware.
    This in turn creates a major problem: the Boot Camp-Assistant creates a hybrid MBR, and Windows Setup can ONLY start in EFI mode - which does not allow installation on a hybrid MBR, only protected MBR.
    You can try and use gpart

    Seriously? Accidently hit submit, edited my post to complete it and now everythings gone? Great!
    So, for the second time - you can try and use gDISK to reroll to the protected MBR, then reinstall, fail at the end of the installation, fix the EFI, fix the BCD, resume the installation and fail again because the "hardware is incompatible"; I guess the Bootcamp EFI is still incompatible to the one Windows expects.
    Means: no native EFI installation. At least for my hardware. I needed to install Windows on MBR, while booting into the EFI installer, because no other Setup would start. This meant installing Windows manually.
    I needed to recreate the Bootcamp partition with the Assistant, then reboot into the Windows setup (DVD or flash shouldn't matter)
    Hit Shift+F10 for the console.
    Manually create the partition with diskpart:
         dism /apply-image /imagefile:D:\sources\install.wim /index:1 /applydir:C:\
         Notice: C is the newly formatted NTFS drive, D is the DVD/whatever.
    After that's finished, write a new MBR and new Bootloader:
         bootsect /nt60 C: /force /mbr
         bcdboot C:\Windows /s C:
         I guess you could also pick a language there, with /l de-DE or whatever.
    Then reboot and hope for the best. Setup should continue from the hard drive and finish.
    Since that's pretty much again (...) off the top of my head, I might've missed something.
    I did install rEFIt before, but that should not be required for this to work.
    Good luck!

  • Installing Windows 7 on MBP from USB key?

    Hello all,
    I've searched all around the internet, but I just can't seem to find a straight answer to this question:
    Is it possible to install Windows 7 on an MBP with a USB key? Before you answer, read my process to see where I'm having trouble.
    I want to install the Windows 7 beta on my MBP, but DVD media isn't available to me. I do, however, have a 4gb USB key. I've formatted the key with my XP install (through Parallels) to be bootable, and loaded the Windows 7 install on it. When I tried to use Boot Camp, the assistant asked me for a CD/DVD, so I figured that option is out.
    My next attempt was to install rEFIx, which did show the USB key as a viable boot option, and even let me select the efi file to boot the Windows 7 installer. However, when I try to load it, I get a complaint:
    Starting legacy loader
    Using load options 'USB'
    Error: Not Found returned from legacy loader
    The firmware refused to boot from the selected volume. Note that external hard drives are not well-supported by Apple's firmware for legacy OS booting.
    So now I am stuck. Can anyone offer me any advice regarding this matter? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

    Windows normally cannot be installed nor boot from a USB or any external drive. This is a Windows problem. There are methods for installing and booting Windows from USB devices, but you will need to do some searching to find sites that detail the process. It's not likely you'll find much on Windows 7 because it's beta software, and not supported for installation on a Mac.

  • Has anyone managed to install RAID 0 with 975x PowerUp ?

    Out of curiosity, has anyone on here managed to install XP on RAID 0, using 2 SATAII drives ?
    I've had problems (another post) ... but I was just curious if anyone has managed to do it.
    If so, can you confirm ...
    a) what slots in the mobo you put your SATA drives in (there is that single 'special' SATA connector!)
    b) what driver did you use for the F6 method.
    I just want to see if anyone has managed to do what I have utterly failed to do ...
    Thanks,
    S.S.

    Are you still having problems installing windows on RAID? PrvtMsg me if you want some help.
    Incidentally you should be using two of the five main SATA ports, enabling RAID in the SATA section (forget the JMicron - disable it)
    Next you should be able to enter the Intel RAID config Mgr WHILST the system is POSTing, and set up your RAID volume from there.
    This should enable you to use the Intel RAID drivers on a floppy disk.

    I have 2 seagate 7200.10 (perpendicular recording) drives in RAID 0 on the intel controller, no problems at all.  This config rips, its unreal, I'm sure it gives all of raptors except the new version a serious headache, haha.
    Really? what sort of benchmarks are you getting? I use HDTach for HDD Benching.

  • How I Managed to Install Windows 8.1 Pro on an iMac 27-inch, Late 2013

    As is typical with many of my Boot Camp installs, this one did *not* goes as smoothly as planned. This installation was particularly troublesome, so I thought I would share how I managed to set up Boot Camp on a brand new iMac (27-inch, Late 2013) using a Windows 8.1 Pro DVD and an external Apple SuperDrive. These are the steps I took:
    Download Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5640 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1721)
    Copy Boot Camp Support Software to empty MS-DOS (FAT)-formatted USB key
    Run Boot Camp Assistant and select third option only (Install Windows 7 or later version)
    Computer would reboot after Boot Camp Assistant finished but would boot back into Mac environment and not continue Windows installation
    Boot computer holding down option key and select Windows (with DVD icon) and go through initial setup process (could go as  far as trying to format Boot Camp partition as NTFS and then got stuck)
    Quit Windows installer and reboot computer holding down option key and select EFI Boot
    Run Windows installer
    These same steps worked for another iMac (same model) that I set up later the same day.

    Note: These types of discs or activities are not supported by DVD or CD sharing:
    DVD movies.
    Audio CDs.
    Copy protected discs such as game discs.
    Install discs for an operating system such as Microsoft Windows (for use with Boot Camp), or Mac OS X.
    Burn a CD or DVD

  • [HELP] Installing Windows 7 on MBP by USB using Boot Camp

    Hello!
    Im using boot camp to try to Install windows 7 on my MBP. The problem is my cd/dvd driver is broken and I cant use DVD to boot from. I tryed to install by USB but when Im about to restart and boot try to boot the windows that I installed on the USB it says: 'No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key'
    I have read that Apple changed in boot camp that if you have a DVD you cant use USB function to boot from in USB. I have fixed this problem by using this method from a video in youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_587318&feature=iv&src_vid= I3MNnbtfyzs&v=KmHxkahbK-g
    But after I changed this I stil get problem when I boot that my laptop dont recognize the USB.
    I need a help to solve this problem. Im using a MacBook Pro 13 (late 2011) OS X 10.8.5

    I dont have the opportunities to repair my internal optical drive. Im looking for other solutions for this problem, there I can install the windows without the optical drive.

  • Has anyone managed to install airport/bluetooth manually?

    I am aware of the issues as discussed ad nauseum (and yes I was sold one of the old exterme cards ahead of my purchase of a quad!)
    I know where to buy the correct kit from US but would like to know whether anyone has managed to install it manually (yes I know it is not user-installable and it affects the warranty)

    Yes, I have the Powermac g5 quad and I tried two of them. The first one barely worked and the second worked for only short spurts and its very difficult to install. I had the same luck as others who tried that product on this forum. I ended up buying a usb keychain 802.11b/g from ZyXEL p/n AG-225H. Some of the boxes at CompUSA advertised that it was MAC compatible if you downloaded a driver from us/zxel.com/ag225h. It works for several hours at a time and then a kernel panic crashes my computer. I have talked to ZyXEL and they believe that its just one bad unit. I going to return it tomorrow and get a new one. If it still crashes they want me to work with there Apple expert to troubleshoot and fix the problem.
    Hope this helps....Tracy

  • Has anyone managed to install aperture 2 with a 12" G4 laptop?

    Mine runs Leopard 10.5.2 with a 1.5 Ghz processor and 1.25GB of memory. The system checker says it's fine but it tells me my graphics card will not work it properly. My graphics card is the GeForce FX Go5200.
    Has anyone managed to get it installed, it's blinkin annoying that i cannot load it on this laptop?

    I've got it running now on my 12" 1.25 PB with 768Mb of RAM, it took some fiddling but it is running now. On launch it tells me 'The version of ImageIO installed on your computer is not supported by Aperture' but still gives me the option to continue and from there it launches as normal.
    It appears that my Nikon D3 files are not supported but earlier cameras like my D200 are fine. My PB is running 10.4.11 btw.
    I'm not sure I'm allowed to explain how I got it running here, I've no wish to contravene any forum rules but you can contact me at flateric1 AT mac.com and I can give you my iChat name to talk you through it if you wish.

  • Anyone managed to install sogo?

    hey guys,
    did anyone out there manage to install sogo ( http://www.scalableogo.org/ ) on arch?
    i'm always failing trying to compile libfoundation.
    cheers

    Timm, you have to install gnustep-base and gcc-objc. Then add /opt/GNUstep/System/Tools to the PATH
    export $PATH:/opt/GNUstep/System/Tools
    and execute
    ./configure --gsmake=/opt/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles
    make
    But unfortunately there is at least one header file missing: NGExtensions/NSObject+Logs.h

  • Installing Windows 7 2011 MBP?

    I have exhausted every option...
    I am extremely frustrated with Apple and their need to hinder the support of Windows products. As much as I have been a loyal Apple user and defender, I may be starting to skew towards the Windows side of things.
    I have tried multiple times in multiple ways to install Windows 7 Professional on to my MBP 2011 via USB, but everything I have found has failed. The addition of Mavericks means that the task is even harder, with many 'loopholes' being covered.
    Is there any way of doing this and has anybody been succesful in doing so?
    Thanks in advance,
    Harrie

    IIRC, the 2011 MacBook Pro models all shipped with optical drives.  This would be why teh Apple Boot Camp Assistant wants you to use that optical drive to install your Windows.  The support for installing Windows from a USB media was not added until the 2012 MacBook Pro with Retina was released.  Of course, the older MacBook Air models without an optical drive did have support for installing from USB, but that is because Apple did not ship them with optical drives installed.  Why do you refuse to use the optical drive that Apple shipped in your MacBook Pro to install windows, and why are you upset at Apple for your not using your machine as it was shipped form Apple?

  • Trying to Install Windows 7 onto MBP Mid-2010 but I get this "No bootable device -- Insert boot disk and press any key". What do I do?

    I'm trying to install Windows 7 onto my MacBook Pro Mid-2010 (MacBookPro6,2) from a USB drive, since my Super Drive no longer will burn DVDs or CDs. I did the XCODE trick to allow me to make the bootable USB. But when it reboots after partitioning I get this, "No bootable device -- Insert boot disk and press any key" message. When I press a key after reinserting the USB it still won't boot after pressing a key. I unplugged anything connected to it and it still doesn't work. Is there any way I can get it to be recongized or do I just need to get an external disc drive and burn a disc that way? 

    If your computer came with an inetrnal optical drive, you must use that to install Windows.

  • Installing Windows 8 on MBP Retina

    How can I install windows 8 on my MacBook Pro Retina with 2.6 GHz intel core i7 ?

    OS X 10.8.3 adds Windows 8 compatibility with Windows 8, so now you can install Windows 8.
    First of all, open  > Software Update and install OS X 10.8.3. Make a backup before updating. This will update Boot Camp, adding Windows 8 support.
    The rest of the steps are just the same as for Windows 7. Open Boot Camp Assistant and follow the steps. If you have Windows 8 on a disc, you have to buy an external optical drive and use it to install Windows on your computer. If you have Windows 8 on a ISO, Boot Camp Assistant will provide you help to create a bootable Windows USB drive.
    If you want all the steps to install Windows, read > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf
