Maybe your post should be reversed some how. In any case the Boot Camp form is here:

Do I need to install boot camp on Windows 7 as well as on Lion? I already installed it some years ago on Leopard when installing Windows Vista on my Macbook Pro. But now after installing Windows 7, many things in windows doesn't work (sound etc.)

Do I need to install boot camp on Windows 7 as well as on Lion? I already installed it some years ago on Leopard when installing Windows Vista on my Macbook Pro. But now after installing Windows 7, many things in windows doesn't work (sound etc.). I made a clean installation because I needed to go from 32 bit to 64 bit.
Or should I just update bootcamp in Lion? (cause when I search for "boot camp" in Windows 7 there's no result)

Unable to install Boot Camp and Windows 8.1 on Mac Mini

Hello,
My computer is a late 2012 mac mini with fusion drive. OS is OSX 10.9.1. Also an apple external optical drive and a Windows 8.1 full install DVD. I attempted to install Boot Camp and Windows 8.1 and failed.
I ran Boot Camp Assistant and first problem was when it rebooted the computer - I got a text message that said the OS was missing. After a while I tried holding down the Option key while rebooting, then I got several choices to boot from - I chose the windows disk, and windows installation started.
I was eventually given a list of 6 or 7 partitions to chose from, to install windows into. I settled on the one marked BOOTCAMP. It seemed the best guess. But the installer said that it could not install on this partition. Something about the wrong format or EFI or boot partition(s)?? In fact, the installer would not let me install into any of the listed partitions.
I restarted Boot Camp and it allowed me to remove the boot camp partition and revert to OSX only. Thanks for that!
My questions: is Windows 8.1 supported with my configuration? I know the FAQ says it is not. If in fact it is, did I do something wrong?
Thanks,
Doug

Poking around, I found an installation manual which was downloaded to my USB drive with the boot camp windows drivers. It says that when I reached the point in the windows installer where I'm given a choice of partitions, I should choose the one marked BOOTCAMP, and format it. Which I didn't think to try before. So I tried again, using Boot Camp Assistant from the top.
Failure again. This time, when the computer rebooted, I selected the Windows icon as before, but I got a text message saying that the boot manager couldn't be found, and a dead stop.
I also found that on the option-key reboot disk selection screen, I could eject the windows install disk and reinsert it. When I did that, I got the Windows boot icon and another icon labeled EFI boot. So I also tried that icon, with the same result.
So, I'm doing exactly what I did before (I think), but now the windows installer won't start.

I have an older Mac Pro (2006). I want to install Boot Camp and Windows. I have installrg a purchased Snow Leapord on the machine. To install Windows, am I limited to Windows 7? And where are the Windows 7/Boot Camp Drivers? On the OS disk? Download? Tha

I have an older Mac Pro (2006). I want to install Boot Camp and Windows. I have installed a boxed Snow Leapord on the machine. And it says the download of the Boot camp drivers cannot continue because they are not available. But at that point I have not inserted a windows disk, so how does it know i have XP?
So it appears I am limited to Windows 7? And where are the Windows 7/Boot Camp Drivers? On the OS disk?
Finally, since I have necer considered Windows 7 before, I assume there are no compatability issues with mainstream applications that were running in XP?
Thank you.

You're welcome
Just remember to reformat the partition (bootcamp partition) to NTFS with the windows installer, ensure to pick the correct partition.

I forgot to back-up my information (pictures, excel documents) on MAC before installing boot camp and Windows. I am mid-way through the process, at the point where I need to install the drivers. Will i be able to retrieve my documents on MAC or not?

I forgot to back-up my information (pictures, excel documents) on MAC before installing boot camp and Windows. I am mid-way through the process, at the point where I need to install the drivers. Will i be able to retrieve my documents on MAC and finalizing the Windows 7 installation (for the 1st time) or not?
I am worried that may lose my information... Appreciate any feedback! Note: already half-way in the process of installing!

Yes, IF you picked the right partition, as in the Boot Camp partition. If everything is done right you should be able to boot into the Mac side.
If you already booted into Windows and are at the point of installing the Boot Camp Drivers your already done installing Windows! Yea! All you need to do is just install the drivers and everything should work normal.
The Windows partition and the Mac partition are seen as two different HD's now as far as the computer knows.
You can use the Boot Camp control panel in Windows to boot into the Mac side and the Startup Disk in System Preferences on the Mac to switch to Windows. If you can't then press and hold down the Option key untill you get the boot screen.

Windows 7 - Blue screen of death after Boot Camp install

Hello! I have done some searches with no answers, so...
After installing Windows 7 from scratch I then install Boot Camp 3.0 which then leads to the Windows blue screen of death upon reboot. I then have to recover Windows to the previous state prior to installing Boot Camp.
Help!?

Most likely, Apple HFS read-only, which is AppleHFS.sys and AppleMNT.sys - rename those and see.
You might want to run chkdsk after all this to make sure there are no errors with the drive and file system.
Windows Explorer will not accept HFS+ filenames with special characters and will "green bar" and hang when it does, too.
The faulty HFS driver is a valid concern.
Rename AppleHFS.sys and AppleMNT.sys
By doing the following you will disable HFS mount / read mode on windows XP, Vista, 7.
Navigate to c:/windows/system32/drivers/AppleMNT.sys, rename the AppleMNT.sys file to something like AppleMNT_keep.sys or something of your likings.
The faulty HFS driver is a valid concern. It seems to happen on many systems.
You find it in Windows/system32/drivers/AppleHFS.sys
Renaming to AppleHFS_disabled.sys will avoid the blue screens until you have found another solution or Apple updates Bootcamp 3
After renaming both myself because they are no longer "*.sys" or something? they are gone. In my case AppleHFS prevented Windows Backup from running to end and was causing error "some files skipped" and while some might find reading convenient, I prefer Windows not have even read-only access.
You can probably do better with MacDrive, or probably Paragon's HFS driver, to read AND write if needed, to HFS from Windows.

Blue screen of death after installing Boot Camp on Windows 7

Hello and thanks for the help!
Brnad new user to Boot Camp here. After a new install of Windows 7, I install Boot Camp but then when rebooting Windows I get the blue screen of death. When letting Windows attempt a repair, it fails and I am forced to Recover Windows 7 to a state before I installed Boot Camp.
Help!?

Solution for this problem is simple. You have to apply Mac Book Air SMC Update 1.7 which you can do from Mac OS X with Software Update or you can download required update manually from Apple support site. If you don't use BootCamp and have installed Windows without it, you will have to boot Mac OS X from external drive just to apply required update. After you applied SMC update, you can boot to Windows and apply BootCamp update 3.2 and 3.3.
There is a known problem with Mac Book Air EFI Update 2.3, which you won't be able to apply and it will show in Software Update every time you check for updates. There is no solution for it yet.
You get BSOD if you have BootCamp 3.1 and Windows 7 SP1 installed and you have commited Windows update which will break applemtp.sys as your SMC firmware is too old. It applies to Windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit versions in BootCamp or native install.

Cannot boot from XP CD when installing Boot Camp

I've tried several times to install XP with SP2 on my Mac Pro. I was successful installing Boot Camp with OS X 10.4. I did a clean install of OX 10.5.
My Mac will not boot from the XP CD once I'm told to re-boot while installing Boot Camp. I've tried holding the "C" key to force it to boot. It still will not boot. I can only get back into Max OS X by holding the "Option" key during boot up.
I have verified my XP disk and all looks good.
Has anyone else seen this and is there are work around?
Thanks!
Rick

Hi
It seems the drive cannot boot up from the CD recovery and switch to the LAN boot.
The PXE-E61 error message appears because the LAN cable was not connected and the notebook is not able to find a network boot source
I think you should check the recovery CD and maybe you will need a new one

I installed Boot Camp on Windows 7 PC (No Mac computer!)

I was trying to install drivers in order to use a Magic TrackPad that I got. I read somewhere that I had to use/install Boot Camp on my PC. Well, I did so... however, I have no Mac... it's a 100% Windows 7 PC. So, I was able to install Boot Camp 3.0 and 3.1 (I think!) When I try to boot my machine, it will NOT boot anymore. What can I do? Could someone please help me? I noticed that the name of my main C: drive changed to "BootCamp"... it did this automatically. I tried to fix the MBR via the Windows 7 Installation DVD, but no success. :-( Someone, please help!
Thank you!
Minime is not evil anymore!

No, I cannot do a system restore as there is/was not any system restore point. I do not care about the drivers for the Magic Trackpad anymore... I just want to get my PC back to the way it used to be... in other words, I'd like to have it boot again. I am able to 'see' the contents of the Hard Drive by means of the Windows 7 DVD; have tried to fix the MBR by doing bootsect /fixmbr and other commands, but still no success.
Is there ANY WAY to get rid of BootCamp or undo whatever Boot Camp has done to my HD by means of a Linux CD or Windows 7 Installation CD or anything else? Is the MBR what has been changed? Any GOOD ideas or suggestions will be welcome. Please, forget about the Magic Trackpad... I just want to get Windows 7 to boot again.
Thanks.

Trouble installing Boot Camp and Windows 8

I'm attempting to install Boot Camp for the first time using OS X 10.10.1 / Boot Camp 5.1.2. When I conduct the install, I get a message stating that this machine (Macbook Air, Late 2010) can only install Windows 7.
Apple's Documentation states the following:
The Windows ISO image or DVD must be of the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro, Windows 8.1, or Windows 8.1 Pro.
I did attempt to install W8, but was asked to provide W7 installation media. Based on the documentation I should be able to install Windows 8. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks

You cannot install Win 8 on that model. See the following: Boot Camp- System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support.

Installing Boot Camp in windows 7

I installed Windows 7 64 bit on my MacBook Pro 15" from mid 2009, all went well until I tried to install Boot Camp from my OS 10.6 start up disk. Most but not all components install and when I run the Boot Camp 3.1 update it says I need to install Boot Camp 3.0. My key board works partially, as dose the track pad. I have read some solutions in this forum but they all include a right click which I don't have without the updated driver that I can't install. Apple doesn't seem to offer a complete Boot Camp 3.1 64bit download. I'm not sure why I've installed Windows at all, for two days all I've done is down load drivers. I know I sound like a commercial but Windows 7 is a giant pain in the ***.

Blue Screen When Installing Boot Camp Updates

For some unknown reason, whenever I put in the OS X install disc in order to use my internet, wireless mouse, etc. The Blue Screen of Death or what I believe that to be, pops up for an instant and then my computer immediately restarts. I've tried this 5 or 6 times and finally decided to make a post. Thanks in advance.

Everyone is having that issue. There seems to be a major bug with the bluetooth Boot Camp / wireless drivers where you get a blue screen of death whenever your computer has been idle for a while and then you start typing on the wireless keyboard.
Wish Apple would fix this problem - my computer crashes several times a day.

Blue screen after upgrading to boot camp 3.0 (snow leopard)

after updating my vista ultimate 64 to the latest boot camp drivers, i experience a blue screen right before logging in (5 seconds after the password requester appears), the error is "systemserviceexception" i tried to uninstall all the apple stuff in safe mode, but boot camp itself and the updater can't be uninstalled, i also tried to start from a fresh copy of vista, installing as the first thing bot camp, same blue screen.

Blue screen appears after installing Leopard and restarting

I tried to install Leopard on my MacBook but got the Blue screen after restarting. I found the apple support article number 306857 and tried option C without success. I don't have a firewire cable so option A is out. I don't know how to reinstall Leopard as Option B suggested. I can't get beyond the blue screen. Any suggestions?

The Apple site is under maintenance, so I can't check the details of the options, but I assume option C is the terminal, when you've started up in Safe Mode. This method worked for me on two machines. You need to type the commands precisely and exactly as they appear in the article, including spaces where appropriate.
To reinstall Leopard, start up with the installation disk in the drive, and when you hear the startup chime, hold down the C key on your keyboard. You need a USB keyboard. You should get the installation screen.

Blue Screen Result When Installing To External Firewire Drive

I can't afford to have problems with programs not running on Leopard on my 17" G4 1.67 GHz 2 GB RAM PowerBook so I am trying to install it on an external Firewire drive. I was hoping to test out Leopard with certain applications by running it from the external drive.
The Firewire drive has two partitions, one has my backup clone of the PowerBook and the other just has files and about 35 GB of free space. The installation would be a new installation so none of the files that deal with login or Application Enhancer that are being talked about in other threads are an issue.
My first attempt to install brought up a blue screen after the installation restart. I left it there for about 30 minutes then powered off the PowerBook by holding down the power button. I started it again and held down the option key, picked the install disk as startup, went through the disk utility repair disk (found no problems). After that I picked the new install on the external from the startup preferences and it simply restarted to a blue screen. I left that one for about 20 minutes then powered down.
I went back to the Powerbook Tiger OS system, deleted all the installed folders on the external and tried a completely new install. Once again it went to the blue screen after the Leopard install restart. This time I left it overnight and this morning the display was dark and upon waking it up with a tap of the space bar was greeted by the bluescreen again.
I talked to my Apple hardware rep who knows the equipment that I am working with and we talked about all the steps I went through and he has no explanation why it won't work on the external.
I would love to hear from anyone that may have insight for this particular external FW drive installation perspective.

Joe-
Is the drive partitioned to APM? (Sorry I took Anton's reply to be yours.) What was the type fo partitioning onthe disk with the success? I am not knowledgable enough in those error messages on the system.log file, but one thought is - after the memory upgrade, did you clear the PRAM (long shot, but do it anyway)? The machine booting on one external Firewire drive (#2) implies the problem is with the external FW disk (#1) you are using. Some other people had the bus error, but with Time Machine. (Not to go on a tangent, but TM seems to have problems when the disk name has non-alphanumeric in it.)
Hoping someone who knows the syslog errors and the boot sequence will pipe in here.
