Boot Camp 3.51 freezes during install

Hardware: MacBookPro9.1 mid 2012, 8GB Ram. 1TB brand new Samsung EVO 850 SSD (TRIM enabled),
Software: Boot Camp Asst 3.51, Mac OS 10.9.5 (fresh install when the SSD was set up).
1) Boot into BCA, click all the boxes (Create Install Disc, D/L latest support software, Partition/Install Win7 64bit)
2) Feed it the Win7 64Bit DVD, makes the ISO,
3) Give it an 8GB USB flash drive, software loaded
4) Software downloaded etc.
5) MBP reboots to grey screen - no Apple, no Windows logo, no nothing. Process stops, nothing happens.
6) Disc Utility run, permissions repaired, disc verified OK.
7) Flash drive re-formatted, BootCamp partition erased, process repeated.
8) Same result.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks,
Marco

Yes, BCA 5.1.2 actually. Not sure where I got the version number listed above.
All USB peripherals disconnected except for the memory stick w/the Windows ISO etc on it.
** Found out the "EyeFi Helper" had installed its software on the USB stick after it was formatted. This is a bug in the EyeFi helper software that I have reported but still has not been fixed.
Disabled the EyeFi software, started all over again.
BCA formatted partition with FAT, but I was able to re-format in the Windows installer to complete Windows installation. Got Windows booted and then ran Windows Update for Service Pack 1 etc. and selected reboot and....
Back to the blank, grey screen on rebooting into Windows. No Apple Icon, no Windows icon, no activity.

hello,
And thank you in advance.
I'm getting "Installer disk not found" message during boot camp 5 and windows 8 install on late 20011 MBP upgraded to OS X 10.9 Mavericks. Any ideas?
I've downloaded the Window support option software and the WindowSetupBox.exe and copied it to the USB drive. I tried to create an iso image from my Windows XP machine but recieved messages that Windows 8.1 could not run on XP. I've ordered the Windows 8.1 backup media.
Any way to proceed?
Thanks Tim

download the win 8 iso from here;

then start over. install on to your usb along with the support software.

You might have better luck in the Boot Camp community. I'll ask the hosts to relocate your post.

Boot Camp doesn't install the drivers. You have the drivers on a separate USB device if you followed directions. Once in Windows connect the USB drive with the driver software. It should startup automatically and install the drivers.
You don't even need to do that. As downloading the drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant can be unreliable, it is better to get the package directly from here:

Copy the .zip file to a USB flash drive or burn it to a DVD in OS X. Install Windows as normal, insert the flash drive/DVD in Windows, copy the .zip file to the hard drive, extract it, then run the setup executable.

Can i just partition my HD by using boot camp 4.0.1 without install window?

Can i just partition my HD by using boot camp 4.0.1 without install windows?
cox i want to use rEFIt to boot up my pendrive to install windows.
Due to some reason the boot camp 4.0.1 cannnot detect my usb drive (that contained windows 7), so thats why i use the rEFIt to boot from my usb drive

Yes, you can.
Let the BootCamp Assistant just make the partition and do not click on "Install Windows"-button.
The result is a preformatted FAT32-partition on your Mac.

WHAT CAUSES FOR AN APPLICATION TO FREEZE DURING INSTALL?

What causes for an application to freeze during install? and how do I fix it

helloWorld pretty much said it all.
When I'm looking for problems like that nothing beats a good trace file. Also don't dismiss the idea of programmer stupidity (of the one that developed the app), I've ran across code where exceptions where caught and nothing done about it, just let thing run merrily along again. The cause is usually farther back in the trace than the point it hangs or appears to start having problems.

What is the error? Are you following the Bootcamp instructions? Where on the "internet" are you trying to install from? Did you try downloading from here http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/downloads/?

Boot camp: partition created can't install windows

I created a 63GB partition.
and during the bootcamp install it rebooted but never opened again and the Mac mini just spun and spun for a while and I then just reset it. though, the screen is black but I can hear the Mac spinning...I reset but this time use the OPTIONS button and it brings me to choices:
My HD, My time machine, windows, recovery, and EFI?
So DUH I choose windows and the screen goes blank, and the system just spins and spins.....
CAn I restart the Bootcamp assistant and jump back in at the INSTALL WINDOWS step?
thanks in advance
WINDOWS-7-64
MACMINI 2011, ( just bought it a few weeks ago)
created the windows support software

So let me get this straigt, you went through the installation process for setting up windows7 using the bootcamp assistant.YES. IT CREATED A PARTITION AND AFTER IT FOUND THE WINDOWS INSTALLER AND DID IT'S THING IT SHUT DOWN.
i WAITED FOR IT TO WAKE UP AGAIN BUT THE SCREEN STAYED DARK BUT THE FAN JUST RAN AND RAN. SO AFTER 10 MINS. OR MORE I JUST HELD THE POWER BUTTON IN UNTIL IT SHUT OFF.
TURNED IT BACK ON WITH THE OPTION KEY HELD DOWN.
THE SCREEN OPENS WITH THE FOLLOWING ICONS: HD, TIME MACHINE, WINDOWS, EFI BOOT.
After the set up, you are not able to access windows7 when you start the mac holding down the option button at start up or reboot after selecting the windows os. WINDOWS DID NOT INSTALL.
I NEED TO GET INTO THE PARTITION AND INSTALL WINDOWS.
If you have not been able to acess win7 and have not had a chance to get it up and running with any personal info that would need backing up, just delete the win7 partion using boot camp assistant and start over. Yes, you will have to create your partition all over again, but all that is maybe on it is the basic install of win7.
Make sure you have installed the Windows support software.
WHEN I WENT BACK INTO THE BCA. THE ONLY OPTION WAS TO REMOVE WINDOWS-7. aFTER CLICKING CONTINUE....I SEE THE ICON OF MY HD TO RESTORE TO THE ORIGINAL SIZE...WHICH MEANS IT WILL REMOVE THE PARTITION AND EVERYTHING CURRENTLY ON MY HD NOW----RIGHT?
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME MAN!

Trying to get Windows back after Boot Camp repartition + Ubuntu 14.04LTS install + rEFIt install...

Hello, Boot Camp troubleshooter folks.
Again I come to you with a variation of the same refrain so many others have said. I haven't quite found my exact version of it, so here's mine:
I'm taking an online class that required me to make a third partition for Ubuntu. I'm running a MacBook Pro(6,2) from Mid-2010, running OS X 10.9.5. (Although I'm currently downloading upgrade to Yosemite as we speak. I figured, hey, if my MBR's already messed up, upgrading to Yosemite's not gonna make it any worse.)
I've got a 500GB HDD. It's had 100GB sliced off for Windows 7 Professional x64 for about two years. This was done by following the prompts in Boot Camp Assistant as directed.
Then, a few weeks ago, I ignored the warnings by Disk Utility and sliced off another 15GB off of my remaining 400GB for OS X into the smallest reasonable slice I could set aside for working in Ubuntu. On top of this, I also added the program "rEFIt." So, now, when I boot up my computer, by default, rEFIt comes up and shows me three different icons for getting into Linux, an icon for getting into OS X, an icon for getting into Windows, and an icon for getting into the OS X Recovery Disk.
Ubuntu and OS X work fine. If I select "Windows," I get that "No operating system found" for whatever it says prompt, and I can't do anything.
If I try to do the standard Boot Camp operation (holding down Option when I restart), I see the same list of options I saw before I installed Ubuntu, except again Windows doesn't work.
It seems as though I've shot myself in the foot by my order of operations, since I can't delete either partition in Disk Utility now, I'm guessing because there are too many sectors in the mind of OS X looking at the MBR. So, while Ubuntu and OS X work, I've got a 100GB brick where a functional Windows installation used to be.
The NTFS drive is still listed on my Desktop in OS X, too. All of the files are intact. But squeezing that Ubuntu partition between the OS X and Windows ones has created too many sectors, and I think I need to do that hybrid MBR business.
Here are my results per Loner T's standard instructions:

Now, since this computer's a Mid-2010, there's definitely a new MacBook Pro purchase in my future within the next 1-2 years. I will not make this same mistake again: On the next machine (assuming no inevitable issues with the Apple hybrid drive), I'll do the current OS X version, a sizeable partition done with Boot Camp of Windows 10, and then VirtualBox running Ubuntu. None of this triple partition cr

Well I was lucky enough to get an appointment to see someone at my "local" (40 minutes away) Apple store today. He said there were Windows and Mac files on the same partition. It was a mess...
Anyhow, he reinstalled Leopard for me and I'm back up and running.

Boot Camp 2.1 will not install in Windows 7 beta 1

I have installed the 32-bit Windows 7 beta 1 on my MacBook using Boot Camp 2.0. I cannot for the life of me get the 2.1 update installed. After downloading in Windows, I run the setup and it asks me if it's okay to allow that file to make changes to my system. I agree but it stops there. Nothing happens. I made sure that I downloaded the 32-bit version for Vista and still nothing. Do I need to create a disc?

I figured that because Boot Camp is only compatible for XP and Vista, yet I was able to install Windows 7 just fine, that the boot camp update would follow suit. My thought is that 7 is using a very similar build to Vista in that the difference is so slight in the build that Boot Camp thinks that it is Vista. I have heard success stories of Windows 7 in Boot Camp 2.1

Boot Camp will not let me install Windows via external hard drive

Hi,
I'm having problems installing Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro. I have the iso file on my external hard dirve and have went to Boot Camp but the following message comes up:
"The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.
The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows."
At one point i just clicked OK and let Boot Camp install the selected tasks, which formated the disk, copied the Windows files and downloaded the Windows support software but another message came up:
"Install this Windows support software after installing Windows"
It then only gives me an option to Quit...
I would like to add that i tried to install Windows a few days ago and everything was working well up until instead of clicking on "customize" to continue the installation i clicked on "upgrade" then it asked me to remove disk and reboot the computer, i did that and it didn't work. Luckily i got that sorted but wanted to try and install Windows again as it didn't end up getting it installed and this is what is happening now...
Can someone suggest to me what might be wrong?
Thanks in advance.

My other post has been deleted. I will reply to you on this post instead.
I dragged down the Macintosh HD partition via the small triangle at the bottom right hand side of it. It now looks like this:
Is it back to normal now? Can i install Windows now or do i need to do anything else?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Boot Camp 3.3 fail to install on my iMac

Hi,
My iMac is running with Windows 7 Pro x64 wit Boot Camp 3.2. When I try to install Boot Camp 3.3 with Apple Software Update it ask me to reboot and I still have Boot Camp 3.2 running on my machine.
If I download Boot Camp 3.3 and execute it manually, it give me an error message : Fail to install Boot Camp Services (or something like that, as it is in french)
I used to have issue to install Boot Camp 3.1 and 3.2 where the only option to setup it that I find in this forum was to extract the setup files and run manually the BootCampUpdate64 file. Unfortunatly I cannot do that anymore with 3.3 as it is in a package that I cant extract.
Any idea on how I can fix that ?
Thanks.

Have you found a solution yet? I'm still searching for one. No additional drivers and no VNC installed. Thought it might Splashtop Streamer, but it doesn't install an additional driver like LogMeIn does. Also tried removing Sata and USB PCIe cards. Still no luck. In a last ditch effort I tried to uninstall Boot Camp Services completely which also failed.

How to update Boot Camp drivers when you already install Boot Camp?

The last time i install Windows 7 (Boot Camp) and drivers on my Mac was a bit long time ago, and i realise that there is some new drivers available for mine, so how can i update my Boot Camp drivers, please help me, and thanks!!!

I have MacBook Pro Retina w/Lion (of course), installed Win 7 Pro 64-bit, using Boot Camp procedures and files that were issued June 14. My BootCamp Assistant says it's 4.0.4.
My question is: how do I know when the Windows Support files (drivers) are updated by Apple? I would have expected an update by now, but I just went into Boot Camp Assistant on Lion, re-downloaded the drivers, and I *think* they are all dated June 14th still. (looked in WindowsSupport folder which is where it said it downloaded them)
There doesn't seem to be a reasonable way to get notified if there are new drivers or not.
My expectation was that I could run *something* either on the Windows or OS X side, and it would *tell me* that drivers needed updating, or at least say "you are running version X".
It can't be that I have to re-download the drivers and check the dates on all the files every time I'm curious if there's updates available. Can it?
The files seem to be on some mysterious Apple server and the only thing I can do to that server is ask to download the support files. No query, no "is an update available", ... ???
It's not even clear to me that the Windows Support files have a version number.
