  • Can't Install Windows in Boot Camp - Windows Driver Issue

    Before update to Mavericks, I had an installation of WIndows 7 running in Bootcamp.  I had updated this to Windows 8.
    Just prior to Mavericks release, the hard drive in my MacBook Pro started to fail.  I had a full backup of the OS X partitiion, but did not have one of Windows.
    After the drive was replaced, I did a fresh install of Mavericks and I'm planning on doing new installs of my apps over the coming days.  (It's an opportunity to clear-out remains of old apps/OS's.)  I have hit a wall with Boot Camp, though:
    I used the Boot Camp Assistant to download the driver sets ("Windows support software")  to a USB stick and partition the HD. However, although the Mac then boots off the Windows 8 (64-bit) installer DVD I can only get as far as choosing the installation language before I get stuck on the next step where it's looking for missing drivers.  At first, I thought this was some reference to the ones downloaded from Apple, but I am now pretty certain that these just get installed after [in] Windows to allow access to the Apple hardware.
    I have tried installing Windows 7 and get hung-up at the same point (which did not happen on 10.8).
    Does anyone have any insight into what's happening and how I can get around the problem please?

    Just chiming in - having the same issue as Bernard and Ian here myself, but with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.  Trying to install on MBP Late 2013, Mavericks, using USB.  I get through the bootcamp phase to the language selection in Windows and then get the drivers error message.
    Called apple tech support and they indicated that OEMs can sometimes be lightweight versions of the DVD installers (i.e. they leave out certain drivers because they assume a certain set of hardware components will be present, typically hardware that perhaps only PCs have and Macs don't) - so they suggested trying to get my hands on a retail version of the ISO file that might have all of the drivers necessary.  I tried downloading every feasible iteration of the windows trial ISOs here but every one of them gave me the same error message in Windows setup.  My next step is to call microsoft to ask them for a "complete" ISO - I'm hoping they can cooperate since I do have a valid, un-used authentication code for my Windows product.  I'll let you know if this works.
    In the meantime - has anyone found an easier fix?

  • Mac Pro Boot Camp Windows XP issues

    Hello all, I'm a new user on the forums and a proud owner of a Mac pro with 4gb ram and 500 gb hard drive. I installed Boot Camp and Windows XP Home Edition before adding any programs so the partitioning was split down the middle. However, once I installed my Windows Version of Adobe Production Studio and other software like McAfee and Spybot S&D I noticed a few issues with Windows. I might be overreacting, but the computer(on the windows side) seems slower than my previous computer (Powerspec 3ghz processor, 1gb RAM, Windows XP Prof) especially in adobe photoshop. Some problems that have occurred:
    1.) System information only shows 1.99gb RAM on the windows side.
    2.) Booting Windows from Boot Camp sometimes causes the entire system to restart and bring me back to boot camp if I'm still holding option, then a message saying that windows did not start normally appears and it asks if I want to start in safe mode.
    3.) Adobe Photoshop with 75% Memory Partition lags when opening and saving large files like filmstrips.
    4.) Windows start up and shut down take about 1-2 minutes while Mac OS X is almost instantaneous.
    I haven't tried office yet, but the installation seemed to work. I'm not sure if anyone has experienced this, but this could be a cause for my problems, when I tried to install some programs, Spybot denied registry changes. I think I may have solved the problem, but I don't think it made a difference to programs that were already installed. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    By *firmware update* would that include EFI?
    Maybe patch or update the SATA chip controller?
    Run off PCIe SATA controller is always possibility...
    Bugs in ROMs were often patched by drivers, microcode and kernel extensions.
    SATA has been changing more rapidly in the last year than in the previous two years - trying to hit a fast moving target.
    Barefeats points to possible issues with disk read and writes with some drives and drive configurations.
    Seagate had an issue with some of their drives taking more than a minute to spin back up after sleep or spin-down, which required firmware update or drive replacement.
    It is also possible, running BootCamp and Windows now, to apply firmware updates to disk drives, something that Macs were excluded from before by Windows-only updates. The need for firmware updates has always been done with SCSI disk drives, and SATA drives have required updates to correct problems as well.
    Not sure if we will ever see the type of EFI access that PCs have had to the BIOS, but sometimes you might be able to write something to nvram (as with Parallels right now) to get past a problem.
    Tiger has seen some changes, in 10.4.0 and again in 10.4.4, that has impacted disk arbitration and RAIDs primarily but not exclusively, such that you should not be using a 10.4.0-.4.2 version of Disk Utility to repair a drive running a later version.

  • Boot Camp - NTFS and issue and Windows based defragmenters.

    I am interested in having a BootCamp developer contact me regarding NTFS partitions and what happens when you defragment while booted into Windows.
    Specifically, what is happening is that when a boot time defrag is performed while booted into Windows (necessary in order to defragment certain NTFS metadata files), afterwards BootCamp may no longer see the Windows installation.
    Boot time defrag is supported in a native Windows environment (non BootCamp). However, if it is performed in a BootCamp environment, the resulting changes in NTFS are something that BootCamp is not correctly handling with the result being that BootCamp no longer sees Windows. This issue could potentially occur with ANY Windows based low level disk utility that changes/updates NTFS structures.
    The company that I work for is an NTFS expert and we are interested in speaking with BootCamp development to work with them to ensure that they are correctly handling NTFS changes made while booted into Windows in order to ensure that BootCamp users do not experience this issue.

    I don't think you are suppose to post contact information.
    Not sure your "open letter" is a how to find or get other developers involved in what you want to do either. Leaving that out, still, something others have probably run into as far as troubleshooting and problems.

  • Boot Camp 2.1 issue??

    I know there is a Boot Camp forum where I have already posted this - have a new WINDOWS XP Pro w/SP3 - need to have Boot Camp 2.1 for this with the SP3 service pack to work. Downloaded Boot Cap 2.1 and get a garbeled mess - others have posted the same issue. Surely someone using Boot Camp 2.1 with Windows XP Pro SP3 that is able to assist???
    Thanks!

    Zimmer:
    How about you try the following:
    1. Run *Boot Camp Assistant* from Leopard
    2. Create the Windows Partition for your XP SP3 and complete installing Windows
    3. Once installation is completed then insert your Leopard installation disk in the CD drive and get the Boot Camp drivers installed. These will be version 2.0.
    4. At this point you will be getting your Windows updated from Microsoft. Complete this action.
    5. Once step 4 is completed then run *Apple Software Update* in Windows and this will update your boot camp drivers to 2.1.
    Yes I know you will updating the Boot Camp drivers to 2.1 after you have installed Windows XP SP3. I did this and it has worked for me. The only way you will find out for sure is to try installing windows with what you have.

  • Windows 7 Boot Camp Color Scheme Issues

    Hi. I just recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my Boot Camp, and the first thing I noticed was the poor resolution that was stuck to 1600x1200 pixels. The Display Adapter used is listed as "Generic Non-PnP Monitor on Standard VGA Graphics Adapter." ortunately, I got this sorted out by choosing "Advanced Settings => List All Modes", and then selecting "2560 by 1440, High Color (16 bit), Default Refresh". Here's where the problem comes in - it's in 16 bit, obviously, and there's no other higher color schemes for me to choose from in the "List All Modes" menu that's 2560x1440 pixels. The only other mode of this resolution is "2560 by 1440, 256 Colors, Default Refresh".
    What should I do? Could someone please guide me through the process step-by-step, as the Apple support team was of no help, since they aren't 'familiar' with Windows procedures, despite "Boot Camp" being a Mac-related hardware. And I'm no technical expert, either, so tossing me terms like "update to the X&Y" driver is probably going to confuse me, so please try and explain that to me, thank you.
    Thanks for your patience and please get back to me soon.

    It appears that you did not follow the step in Bootcamp Assistant where you were to download the Windows Support software. You then had to install the Support software from within Windows. Did you do that step? The display drivers are part of the Support software.

  • IMac/Boot Camp Screen Resolution Issue on XP

    Anyone here running Boot Camp on an iMac? I just loaded it on my MBPro and it works great, but on my iMac I can't get the screen resolution straight. My images are stretched when shown in XP. It's a 24" iMac.

  • Boot Camp 5 Download Issue

    Boot Camp 5.05.033 is supposed to be a .zip file.  However, after the dl I don't see this but do see:  Two blue folders (Boot camp and $WinPeDriver$) and an .xtml "page."  The folders contain several files each, none of which are .zip.  Am I downloading the wrong patch?  Am trying to install 64-bit Windows 7 on a separate partition.  Any help appreciated.
    thanks.

    Windows 7 comes on DVD or burned ISO at slowest possible speed.
    I assume you don't have an internal DVD so you have to use a USB-DVD or other method and have Apple driver for USB also on a thumb drive.
    The Windows Support Software is used after Windows is installed. And has to be on a MSDOS/FAT partition - USB flash or thumbdrive are great

  • 802.11ac not recognized on Windows 8.1 Pro under Boot Camp.

    I just installed Windows 8.1 Pro under Boot Camp. The issue I am having is that the 802.11ac network is not recognized in Windows. Windows only recohnizes the 802.11n network. When I boot up OSX Yosemite, It works as usual. Anyone else have this problem?

    8/8.1 will install fine but there's some stuff you need to do before starting to ensure no issues
    purchase a retail 8/8.1 license
    use only a USB2 flash drive
    get a clean 8 or 8.1 ISO
    newer machines are more selective with the ISO for some reason (ISOs that worked to install Windows on many different older Macs would not work)
    if you've made lots of changes, hacks and adjustments trying to get this work on your own, you should clean install OSX first, do not restore from time machine and start at step 3 to get Windows installed, you can go back later and copy files back to OSX
    if you want to try without clean installing OSX, here goes
    open boot camp assistant (bca) and choose option 3 ONLY if it reads 'remove/delete' Windows
    open disk utility (du) and confirm that your HD now only has 1 single partition ('macintosh HD' unless you've renamed it)
    restart machine and do a PRAM reset
    open du and repair permissions TWICE
    open bca and choose all 3 options (create, download, install)
    from here, the process follows the standard boot camp instructions (http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf) but pay attention to step 3 where you do have to manually reformat the boot camp partition
    clean ISOs

  • How do I prevent the Lion boot partition from being reformatted when using boot camp?

    Under Windows 7, Computer Mgt, I shrink the C drive to create another drive.  When I right click on the unused drive to format it, 200MB Lion boot is formatted and assigned a drive letter F.  But I did not tell Windows 7 Computer Management to do that.  I clicked on the unused 170GB space to create it as F, I did not click on the 200MB Lion boot partition at the front of the list.
    Now I have to take the computer back to the Apple store to reinstall Lion for me.
    I tried this twice and it happened twice.  So now I need to go back to the Apple store a second time for help on the same problem.
    Would the 200MB Lion boot disk at the front be safe from reformatting if I first made it drive letter F, and then made the new drive letter H at the right side of the drive list in Computer Management?  Also, there is an unlettered drive between the Lion drive E and the Windows 7 drive C.  Should I make that G prior to formatting drive H?
    By the way, I did this on another MacBook pro that was using Snow Leopard, following the same procedure, and had no problems.  So could a different version of Boot Camp be the issue?

    I just found an older question similar to this one that you also replied to. It was from 2012 and never solved. The only things I am using in my set up is a male quarter inch cable from my guitar to my interface, a USB cable from my interface to my computer, and headphones from my interface to my ears of course. Just like in the other question I found I have everything in the Audio MIDI Setup of the computer set to use the interface as input and output and I also have everything in garage band setup to use the interface as audio input and output. Any new track is recording the metronome and any old track that is being played in the headphones. No external speakers are being used for monitoring and no microphones are being used.

  • Installing new NVIDIA Drivers in Windows XP (under Boot Camp)

    Greetings,
    This may seem like a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway. Are we able to download and install the latest 9600M GT WinXP Drivers made available here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforcenotebook_winxp_185.85whql.html ?
    I noticed the ones that came with my MBP 15" are 177.56, but NVIDIA has posted new ones, 185.5.
    Can I update to the latest drivers or am I restricted to the ones that came with my MBP and Leopard Installation?
    Thanks!

    I have been repeatedly advised by Apple that future Boot Camp upgrades may not install properly if users have installed different drivers manually.
    I had experienced this myself on my late 2007 MacBook Pro, and I had to roll back the drivers in order to upgrade Boot Camp.
    Many issues have been reported about driver conflicts in Boot Camp on the unibody MacBook Pros, and Boot Camp is definitely due for an update. For these reasons, I have chosen not to manually update drivers on my unibody MacBook Pro.
    I hope that this helps!
    Good luck!

  • Updated drivers in Fusion/XP - now Boot Camp hangs

    Background: I have Fusion 2.0.6 on my MacBook, with a Win XP SP3 VM on a Boot Camp partition. So I can either boot directly into XP and run it native via Boot Camp, or run it as a Fusion VM with Mac OS. Works like a champ. Until now, that is.
    I'm still running Leopard, but I used the Snow Leopard DVD to install new Boot Camp drivers on my XP VM. That is, I mounted the DVD in XP and ran Boot Camp's setup.exe. I did this with the Fusion VM, not Boot Camp, which was probably a really bad idea. The good news is XP still runs fine under Fusion. But now if I boot straight to Windows, it hangs. No blue screen or error message, it just hangs. It doesn't respond to the mouse or keyboard at any point during boot-up, so I can't even coax it into safe mode. Any advice? Other than I'm hosed?

  • So is it a 5000X chipset or 3100 chipset - Boot camp?

    I read thru some articles that suggest the Intel chipset (that does the SATA side of things) used in the MacPro is a 5000X series. So I downloaded the lastest WinXP drivers for the chipset from Intel's web site and the driver don't install saying they are not correct for the hardware.
    So I go into Control Panel and discover the SATA chipset is being listed as the 3100 series.
    So which is it? The reason I ask is that I'm getting very poor performance (random access times) from my hard drive under WinXP. Smaller files are killing it -- poor performance in access times, not in actual thru-put -- working with larger files if fine. Considering the drive in question is a 10K Western Digital Raptor driver with 16MB buffer 150GB -- this is not expected.
    I know about the Boot Camp 1.1 issue with driver install and SATA but used Boot Camp 1.2 (which fixed this) so the driver was installed with OS during setup.
    I've noticed that Intel site shows a driver update for both chipsets (3100 and 5000X) and I would like to get them loaded in WinXP to see if this cures the problem.
    I've ran some diagnostic on the drive and there doesn't appear to be anything wrong at a hardware level.
    Rob.

    WinXP Pro 32bit is on it's own partition -- the drive in question is a Western Digital 10K Raptor 150GB 16MB buffer, SATA.
    Boot Camp on my system will on support upto 2GB RAM with the X1900XTX installed. On a standard PC, WinXP 32bit will only support upto 4GB (actually 3.6GB). Only the 64bit flavors of XP or Vista will support more than 4GB.
    Vista (any version) is not an option as Visual Studio 2005 has many issues with it (even with the patches).
    WinXP and Vista are still pretty much multi-CPU brain dead, the kernel just does NOT do a good job at thread allocation to specific CPUs -- Vista is a big skip in my book (sorta like WinME).
    The Microsoft OS that looks promising is "Vienna" which they slipped out as going to Beta in 2008 to be released 2009 (and then back pedal releazing their marketing mistake). The reason for the shorter delivery time for Vienna -- pretty simple, no backwards compatibility, truely from ground up...hmmmm...maybe Apple were right all along
    Anyway, back to my Hard Drive issue under Boot Camp -- performance test show the drive as being very fast, but on smaller file sizes it takes a serious noise dive -- medium to large files and it is very speedy. This type of problem is usually a EFI issue (or in the case BIOS emulation) or driver issue or both. Anyone else notice performance issues with smaller file sizes?
    The SATA chipset is 3100 series. There is a 5000X series chipset also (don't confuse this with CPU model), but these are not in the MacPro (at least not in my MacPro).
    Rob.

  • How to fix time changing in boot camp to mac osx

    After I installed Windows 7 Ultimate with boot camp on my 2011 Macbook Pro I installed the drivers from the disc and installed all the updates from software update in windows 7.
    Whenever I restart into Mac OSX 10.6.8 it will change the date to the next day (or about 11 hours) and even if the automatic time set from the internet is selected it will still say this is the correct time
    So i change it manually and keep it this way. But then again whenever I restart into W7 it will change back to a different time
    I have had a look at this forum but with the last suggestion on the page but there was no file specified to delete
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2253940?threadID=2253940&tstart=0

    As you've learned the hard way, if you were expecting an instant answer to a problem or technical question, you won't often find it here unless many other people are encountering the issue at the same moment on the same day. If no-one currently online when you post your message has encountered your specific issue or problem and been able to remedy it, you're unlikely to get an immediate response. 
    In the less-active areas of these forums, questions often linger 24 hours or more before receiving a response, and many questions go unanswered far longer. That is because these are free user-to-user forums, not a paid tech support help line.
    And yet, some wonderful people spend an extraordinary amount of time here being helpful: Take a look at the list of Top Participants in any Community. It is based upon reputation points. It takes decades of determined effort to achieve a 'Level 10' status!
    I've been a casual user here for almost four years, and I'm barely a 'Level 3' which begins at 500 reputation points, equating to as few as 50 'correct' or as many as 100 'helpful' answers, so take any advice I've posted within these forums at your own risk.
    Not being one to assume that any totally frustrated user actually searches far and wide within or outside these forums for answers, or even understands how to use the forum search feature before getting frustrated, I'll offer some links that could still be helpful...
    The Boot Camp time sync issue goes back to at least 2007-2008, which predates both OS X 10.6 and Windows 7.  A popular search engine will provide quite a number of off-forum links that may or may not be helpful.
    This old link within Apple Support Communities provides a couple of off-site Microsoft links to instructions for setting the system clock and synchronizing with an internet time server.  It does not specifically address OS X 10.6 and Windows 7, but OS X 10.5, Windows XP and Windows Vista: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1285
    Note that you must have an active internet connection for time-sync to work properly. 
    Have you set up your network connection(s) on the Windows 7 side?
    Which time zone have you selected on the Windows side?
    Which internet time server(s) are you using on OS X and in Windows?
    This off-site post suggests using regedit in Windows to disable the Apple Time Service in Windows.

  • Apple Store Refuses to Diagnose Hardware Issue after Boot Camp Installed

    I previously reported an issue in the Boot Camp Beta forum, but figured I share this with other MBP users as well. After loading the updated firmware, running boot camp to partion my drive, I installed Windows XP Professional. During the install, the screen would go dark, and come back at irregular intervals, as if there was a video sync problem of something. I managed to get XP installed, and booted it and loaded the updated drives from the Boot Camp driver CD which I had earlier created. Subsequent attempt to use the XP installation result in a constantly blank screen, with only occational glitches, as if there is some activity coming out of the GPU, but it's not working correctly.
    This is what led me to take my machine to my local (15 miles away) Apple Retail Store (Washington Sqaure, Tigard, Oregon), and attempt to show the problem to a "genius". HOWEVER... As soon as I mentioned "Boot Camp" and XP, they went into the whole "public beta, blah, blah, blah", "not supported", etc. I tried to explain that I was not reporting a SOFTWARE issue with Boot Camp, but rather a HARDWARE ISSUE which is exposed on my machine only after using BOOT CAMP to partition the hard drive, and then installing Windows XP. All I get was "Well, it works fine in OSX, and Boot Camp is Public Beta, so there's nothing we're going to do". Obviously, I'm livid. And, will pursuing any and all avenues to bring this problem to Apple Management attention. First it was Mark Pienpakdee the "genius" who tried to help me, and then I was further rebuked by Mark Macsurak, Assistant Manager. So, I'm left with broken hardware which won't work correctly running Windows, and no recourse until Boot Camp isn't "Public Beta". What a load of crap. I was so mad, I didn't even bother buying the extra AC adapter I was planning on picking up. ARGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I was absolutly shocked that the "genius" didn't react with anything like "wow, what an interesting problem, let's see if we can diagnose it". He didn't even want to see me boot XP to show the problem, only wanted to see that OSX was working normally and send me on my way.
    If you have had similar problem at the Washington Square store in Oregon, be sure to let them know by sending e-mail to [email protected], I know I will...
    Eric

    If you are going to send an e-mail you should send it to [email protected] However, nobody from Apple is going to send you a response. The Software is Beta which means it is not ready for Prime Time (Also that means that the drivers are beta too). Plus they say before you decide to install any of this in their write ups that they do not and will not provide any support for BootCamp and/or Windows. So they are right not to do anything if the computer works like it is supposed to under OS 10.4.6. Now they might take a look at somethings when OS 10.5 comes out if it has BootCamp in it. They may have something similiar in it, or it might be a perfected BootCamp. However, I doubt that they will ever provide any support for Windows. There has been some talk that Microsoft is looking into supporting Windows on the MAC. However, as far as I have heard no decision on that has come out as of yet.

Maybe you are looking for
