Boot Camp 2.1 Crashed My Windows

I did a disk backup of the windows image after the crash.
Then i deleted the partition.
Now i can't re-partition the disk b/c some files cannot be moved.
I'm not paying $99 for a defrag program that windows provides for free on their side.
Somebody at Apple needs to address this quick. If boot camp 2.1 is crashing computers all over the place (another poster mentioned Norton as a possible conflicting program), they need to provide proper support.

My problem with Boot Camp is a little more complex. I am running a Mac Pro 1st generation. I have four Sea Gate 750 gig 32 megs cache per disc. I have ten gigs off certified 667 megahertz ram installed. I DID NOT PARTITION MY MAIN DRIVE! I dedicated hard drive bay four, meaning I gave windows it's own disc. I don't want windows anywhere near my main OS X system besides partitioning your hard drive makes you loose performance. Anyway I have had windows installed for a week now, as off two days ago on boot up almost everything boots up and I get a message stating that "Boot Camp has encountered a problem and needs to close" and thats it (Taking all my OS X driver with it every time). It does it every time. I have uninstalled the drivers from the Leopard disk and reinstalled then got the 2.1 update and still have the same problem. I am stumped on this one. Why did I ever put windows on my Mac anyway. Any Idea's anyone? I know this is a Apple driver problem not windows, windows otherwise is running like a champ on this monster for me.

  • Cannot install Boot Camp 3.2 upgrade for Windows 7 64 bit

    I recently installed Windows 7 64 bit on my macbook. I also installed Boot Camp 3.0.1 after Windows 7 installation, however, WiFi did not work. Therefore, I needed to upgrade to the latest Boot Camp 3.2. However, when I tried to install Boot Camp 3.2 upgrade for Windows 7 74 bit, I got an error message saying that I needed Boot Camp 3.1 installed first. I CANNOT find Boot Camp 3.1 upgrade for Windows 7 64 bit on Apple website at all. Can someone please help me on this? Is there a way to get the complete Boot Camp 3.2 package that can simply be installed on version 3.0.1??

    here is the link to bootcamp 3.1 for windows 7 64 bit http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1336 .. and no there is no package that can be applied to the windows side to go from 3.0.1 to 3.2

  • OS Mavericks - Boot Camp Assistant can not download windows support software because it is "not currently available from the Software Update server."

    When trying in install windows 7 on my mac, the Boot Camp Assistant attempts to fownload windows support software.  However, the program continues to return the following error: the windows support software "not currently available from the Software Update server." 
    Is there another way to get this software? 

    64 bit.  I found the support drivers and got the windows installation done.  When trying to run the 64 bit support drivers in Windows 7, it says my computer doesn't support 64 bit.  Sooooo.....
    I'm assuming I have to download the 32 bit support drivers for Windows 7.
    Correct?

  • Boot camp is getting stuck while windows support software

    I am using macbook air and currently trying to install windows 7 using bootcamp 5. The bar is stuck and is not progressing further no matter for how much long i keep it. Can anybody guide me on what might be wrong

    Thanks for the note. But neither link lists our MacBook Pro mid 2014.
    And how can I use Boot Camp Assistant to write the Windows.iso to USB-stick because it forces the download of support software (it is selected and grayed out).
    The following page recommends using BCA for the MBP mid 2014.
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204048
    I guess I could write the Windows.iso to USB using Windows (in fact I already did and it boots the MBP) and then try if the aforementioned software packages (which one?) contain necessary drivers for our MBP.
    But I'd rather do it the recommended way letting the Boot Camp Assistant do the dirty work.

  • Boot Camp Assistant fails to copy windows installation files

    I have been struggling to get Windows 8 installed on a brand new Macbook Pro Retina. It seemed simple enough to just run Boot Camp 5 with a 16GB flash drive in the USB port and a Windows 8 Professional ISO sitting on the desktop with the intent of creating a bootable USB drive, but it's not working for me. After selecting the path to the ISO file, boot camp proceeds to format the flash drive, create the WININSTALL partition, and attempt to copy the contents of the ISO to it, but it fails.
    The error message isn't all that helpful, but the console logs seem to indicate that there is some sort of problem remounting the flash drive after formatting:
    5/15/13 2:05:05.609 AM fseventsd[40]: could not open <</Volumes/WININSTALL/.fseventsd/fseventsd-uuid>> (No such file or directory) 5/15/13 2:05:05.609 AM fseventsd[40]: log dir: /Volumes/WININSTALL/.fseventsd getting new uuid: FD5D8B3E-A08E-4710-8925-CAA898FA70C3 5/15/13 2:05:05.679 AM fseventsd[40]: Events arrived for /Volumes/WININSTALL after an unmount request!

    I have tried rebooting, removing and re-inserting the flash drive, mounting, umounting, and reformatting. Boot Camp always winds up in the same place.
    Any hints as to what might be going wrong?

  • "Your bootable USB drive could not be created" "Boot Camp only supports 64-bit Windows installation on this platform. Please use an ISO file for 64-bit Windows installation."

    I try to install windows7 system on my macbook air, which version is 10.8.5. When I open the bootcamp, it let me to choose a windows ISO image, which I've already downloaded from this website: http://www.w7forums.com/threads/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-image-downloads.12325 /, it also asked me to select a USB drive, which is kingston that has 8GB. Then when I clicked "continue", it said that "Your bootable USB drive could not be created" "Boot Camp only supports 64-bit Windows installation on this platform. Please use an ISO file for 64-bit Windows installation." But actually the ISO image I downloaded is 64-bit windows7. I don't know why this would happen. Could someone help me please!!

    Thanks for your feedbakc Kiranjj!
    I identified the reason to be that the W8 installation file didn't download completely from a Mac OS-device. I downloaded from another Win-device and the moved the installation file with a USB-stick and then everything worked diectly! But thanks anyway.

  • I started Boot Camp on a MAC mini but then  had a power failure after 30 secs :( Now when I start Boot Camp the option to install Windows 7 is gone.  In it's place is Remove Windows 7.  It seems to hang at Partitioning disk  Can I recover?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    That's because the Boot Camp volume was created, but your Mac hasn't been set up to start automatically from the Windows disc. Insert the Windows DVD and press C key while your Mac is starting to start Windows installation.
    If you want to make sure that everything is correct, open Boot Camp Assistant and choose the option to remove Windows 7. Then, open that application again, select the option to install Windows 7 and you will be able to install Windows as usual

  • Unable to update Boot Camp to 3.1 on Windows XP

    I'm trying to fix the scrolling issues with the Magic Mouse by updating to 3.1 on the Windows XP side, but it says I must have version 3.0 first. According to my Mac I'm running v3.0.4. Does that mean that Windows is running the same version? I would assume so.
    And I'm not finding a Boot Camp version 3.0 for Windows.

    Have you tried updating the Mac software in XP, Control Panel/Scheduled Tasks/AppleSoftwareUpdates ?
    If you did then go here, try downloading the 3.1 and 3.2 updates, 64 OR 32 bit, and see if you can manually install them: http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macoscomponents
    You don't mention what computer you have so take a look at the rest of the downloads as there are a few computers that have a specific updater for similar trackpad, etc, problems.

  • Boot Camp one more partation in windows 7 Professional 64 bit

    And it leaves new partation as a unallocated space.
    Can someone help me how to create one more Partation in windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
    Many Thanks in Advance

    Once you install  Windows on a Mac you can NOT FOOL with any of the partitions in Windows or in OS X.
    Hopefully OS X still boots. At startup hold down the Option/Alt key to get the Mac Boot manager/selection screen. Select yopur Mac OS X drive and boot to it. Run Boot Camp assistant and Remove the Windows partition/s if you can.
    If not use Time Machine to backup the OS X partition and then you'll need to use the Online internet Recovery system to repartition your drive as One Partition to remove the FUBAR you have created. Then once that ios done restore your Mac from the Time Machine backup you created.
    You can then use Boot Camp Assistant to recreate the Windows partition and reinstall Windows. Then do NOT try to make any other partitions in Windows or OS X.

  • I am wanting to use Boot Camp to partition and install Windows.

    I have a MacBook Pro 13" and I downloaded the upgrade recommended to use Boot Camp 5.1.5621 for Windows 7. The file is saved in my Downloads file and am needing to know if it linked itself to my factory installed Boot Camp Application?
    If it did link the Downloaded Updates can I move the file Boot Camp 5.1.5621 without messing up the path to the Boot Camp Application?

  • Setup.exe from Boot Camp won't work with Windows Xp Home SP2

    Hi,
    I just bought the great MacBook Pro. So I work over years in Windows it's absolutliy necessary to migrate my old System to MacBook. I succeeded in cloning my old installation completly to the MacBook and Windows is activated. when I start windows, of course no MacBook drivers are installed, so I have only a minimum of functionality. Now I want to start the BootCamp to install the drivers. But if I start "Setup.exe" it's ending immediately with: There were errors... before Boot camp could be initialized.
    I downloaded the newest BootCamp (3.1) and start it, the program crashes!
    I can't get it working!!! What have I to do - please help me!
    I use Windows XP Home SP2.
    Thanks!

    If you didn't try installing Boot Camp from your OS X disc, try that first.
    From what you wrote it sounds like you somehow cloned your old install of windows over to a fresh partition. Depending on how you did this, the problem might lie here.
    First, what version of OSX are you running?
    If your MacBook Pro is new, it should come with Snow Leopard, which wouldn't explain the problem.
    How exactly did you clone windows over?
    Depending on how you cloned windows, your easiest solution might be to back up any files and applications you need from windows, remove the current Windows partition, and create a new partition and installation of Windows through Boot Camp on OSX. Normally Boot Camp should install its drivers after a successful installation of Windows.
