Boot camp 4 crash while installing windows 7

Recently bought a macbook pro 15" retina and while installing windows 7 on bootcamp it always occur to have a network problem while downloading window support. And in between while creating a usb it suddenly prompt it occurs a problem while creating a usb disk. Is it an issue on bootcamp 5? Or is it an issue of Window 7 64bit?

i have the same problem as well... apple needs to fix this because i moved from a pc to mac and will never go back to pc however i need to use visual basic 2012 on the windows computer to create desktop applications... so boot camp needes to be updated or fixed!

Boot Camp error: The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Jounraled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows.

Hi!
I am getting the error:
"The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Jounraled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows."
I read up some on google, but all of them says that they have crated a partition and that is the problem, I only have the standard "Macintosh HD".
I tried to create a partition manually in disk utility but then the error message: "Partition failed with error message: Could not unmount disk."
Can anyone help me? It's driving me crazy.
Thanks.

This message, and threads like yours got asked daily for over two years, now it is only a couple times a week!!
Is it so hard to follow through? you were to have backup already, clones are best, then erase/format and restore.
Then partition.
Some have been able to use Disk Utility booted from OS X DVD or another drive, and repair the drive.
You have to use Boot Camp Assistant (99.9% anyway) to create and achieve a proper Windows Master Boot Record partition.

When i try to use boot camp assistant to install windows 7 it sais an error has occured any help?

Boot from another hard drive or DVD and repair with Disk Utility.

2007 MBP 10.7.2 - Boot Camp "Can't Install Windows Support Software"

For a few weeks now I've been trying to get Boot Camp going to install Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro. Whenever I go through the assistant, I always get the message "Can't install Windows Support Software becuase it is not currently available from the Software Update server".
The download bar does progress a bit as data is being downloaded, but then stops at about 15% and gives me that error message. Any ideas?

From what I've read the "Download Update" option as you install Lion only works for some MBAirs and it's a hit or miss on all others. (mostly a miss).
You might do a Search on the error you get as there are quite a few discussions on those problems.

That's essentially what Solving Boot Camp partition creation problems says. What is your question?

MBP won't boot after crashing while installing OSX

Hi
My 2010 15" Macbook Pro crashed while installing Mountian Lion. This was clean install, I had earlier in the process formatted the harddrive.
I have browsed the forum for similar problems, but neither holding down cmd+ctrl+r+p, cmd+r nor just the option key on start-up gives me anything but black screen.
To avoid confusion I am sure that the computer is starting as I can hear the fans starting.
I hope very much to receive input, thank you

Boot Camp crashes after the windows software support download is finished and before the software is installed on the thumb drive

I have previously installed Boot Camp on this Computer (MBP mid 2012, 15" 2.6 GHZ). I recently replaced the hard drive and was reestablishing bootcamp again. While Boot Camp is writing to the USB thunb drive it crashes and rebootrs. The crash does not generate and message other than a note that there has been an error and the computer is restarting. I have tried several different thumb drives all with the same result. It makes me think that the new hard drive (a Seagate Momentus XT 750GB 7200 rpm unit) does not work with Boot Camp. Does anyone have any thoughts or solutions?

Hi,
I solved the problem myself. This might help others.
Recap:
The Windows XP Pro CD was always ejected by Boot Camp and it wouldn't mount at all when inserted in the CD slot. The CD was however readable on a Windows Machine.
It was not easy to detect but the Windows CD was physically deformed. It wasn't flat. It was a little convex (the outer edge was higher than its center). My iMac wasn't able to read it at all but a PC was able until I decided to test it with a full install on the PC. About half way during the installation, it stopped and an error message was displayed by Windows Setup "Disc Read Error - Disc might be damaged".
I ejected the CD and discovered the deformation. So I carefully placed the outer edge of the CD over a ring and put some weight on its center to try to undo the deformation. I've waited 2 days then retested the CD and it worked at the first attempt. My iMac was happy and so was I. I made a security copy of the CD while it's still readable in case I have to re-install later.
I find Microsoft cheap of putting their Installation CD in a paper sleeve. If the CD have been stored in a CD case this would not have happened.
End of the story.

Boot Camp - Won't Install Windows XP or VISTA - HELP!!!

Okay so i tried both windows vista and XP. I make a partition everything goes well but, when i clicl Start Installation it tells me that "The installer CD could not be found. Insert your Windows CD and wait a few seconds for the disc to be recognized." I tried the Vista and XP before on the Boot Camp Beta b4 Leopard was released and it worked now whatever i do it doesn't work. Any Ideas??? I really need this to work!!
I tried burning it again to see if it'd work and it didn't!!

Once Windows is installed, and while it is running, put the Leopard CD into the drive and an autoexec on it should take over and install the drivers. Make sure when you boot the install disc that you put Windows on the BootCamp partition and don't overwrite your Mac partition. Also review throughly the BootCamp install guide!

Boot camp does not install windows 7 -

I have created a partition with bootcamp - on my 250GB SSD - and put the slider to 41 Gb; I have the USB with the drivers inserted and the windows 7 disk (dvd?) inserted. When the retort happens, the windows installer starts (from dvd).
First of all I see the partition is 98 Gb - way too much, leaves almost no room for the soft are disk.
Then the installation does not commence, the partition is MS-DOS (FAT) (I checked with disk utility) while the partition should be NTFS (as windows expects). I does not allow me to select this partition.
What should I do?
I have had a working partition before on my HD, now - after I upgraded my iMAC - I wanted to install bootcamp/windows on my SSD.
-> I know that I can delete the partition using Boot Camp Assistant. Then I am clean all over again. I hope.

When creating a partition, Bootcamp assistant wants to also to install windows. That does not work because the error is there that it expects an NTFS file - and I am not going to reformat the partition using windows :-(
Yes. Terribly sorry about that. I forgot that Boot Camp automatically goes into a setup sequence and boots to the Windows installation DVD. I never use Boot Camp when I want to create a Windows partition since I can do the same thing manually the way I want the drive to be.
NTFS isn't a file, it's a format. Like FAT32 or Mac OS Extended (HFS+). Boot Camp will always create a FAT32 partition (called an MS-DOS partition in Disk Utility). Once it boots to the Windows DVD on the restart, your first step is to format the drive you just created in Boot Camp as NTFS. Then continue on with the install.
What I should have written above as step two was to manually create a new partition with Disk Utility and format it as MS-DOS. Then you could have made it any size you wanted and gone right into restoring your Windows 7 backup with WinClone. Again, while not making the least bit of difference the partition was FAT32 rather than NTFS. Restoring your Win 7 backup would have made it NTFS when done.
Since most folks aren't all that handy doing things manually, or just plain don't know how, Apple tries to simplify the process with Boot Camp. But the only part of it you really need is to create the drivers flash drive or disk. After that you can do the whole thing yourself, which is what I do.
Anyway, once you did create the new partition with Boot Camp, you could have stopped the entire process and booted back into OS X. Then restored the WinClone backup to the FAT32 partition. That would saved you the time watching Windows 7 install when you're just going to completely replace that install anyway.

Boot camp will not install windows 7?

I have a 2009 MacBook Pro with Intel Core 2 Duo; OS X 10.9.1, 750 Gb HD, Optical Drive: MatshitaDVD-R
Boot Camp support version 5.1.5640
I can not get Boot Camp to install Windows 7. It will create a partition, but gives me a
“1...2...Select CD-ROM Boot Type“ error and freezes up when attempting to install from Windows install disk in optical drive..
I created a windows7 iso file and installed that on a usb stick, but Boot Camp will not recognize that either.
Is there any way to actually use Boot Camp and Windows on this computer?

Is your Windows 7 cd a full retail version?
You are using the wrong Windows Support software. Look for your computer here: Look for your computer here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
If your computer came with an optical drive you can not use a usb stick to install Windows.

Boot Camp won't install windows support software

I have a MacBook 2006 with 4 gb of memory and a 2.0 ghz core 2 duo processor. It has a 7200 RPM 750 GB HD with a single partition running a clean install of os x lion. I have been trying to install windows 7 since Lion came out. If I tell boot camp to download software, It is almost done when I get an error telling me that software can't be installed. If I choose not to download software, I try to partition my HD and I get another error that I can't remember because I haven't tried in a week. I will post pictures in a day or two, but until then, PLEASE HELP ME!!!

From what I've read the "Download Update" option as you install Lion only works for some MBAirs and it's a hit or miss on all others. (mostly a miss).

Boot Camp 5 Trouble installing Windows 7. Fails to install due to partition being GPT

Using boot camp 5 I created a bootable USB for windows 7 professional. I followed the instructions up to choosing which partition to install on. Once I reformatted the boot camp partition, the installer said that windows could not be installed because the partition was of type GPT. This is a 64-bit version of windows so it should be able to be installed on a GPT partition. Any help is appreciated.

You don't have to install Windows in a GPT volume. Boot Camp creates a FAT partition that makes Windows detect the hard disk as MBR, so it looks like your computer doesn't support the Windows installation with a USB drive.
You can only install Windows with an external disk if your computer didn't come with a SuperDrive. Your MacBook Pro came with the SuperDrive, so you have to install Windows with a DVD

Plese Help. Me have FAT32 USB, ISO. Boot camp:Can't install Windows Support Software because the Software Update Server "(null)" can't be found. It asks me to network Diagonostics, but internet ok. Plese Help

Plese Help. Me have FAT 32 USB, ISO, Boot cam say can't install windows support software because the software update server "(null)" can't be found.
I know there are many other threads, but I guess I couldn't find clear answer to this problem. Is that the Apple's server problem or just me?
I'm trying to install Windows7 via Bootcamp, with FAT 32 formated USB with ISO, on Macbook air 2012.
Thanks!

The problem is the encryption and how your notebook handles it rather than a Time Capsule problem. I had similar problems until I updated the WLAN drivers on my IBM T41.
The way I convinced myself it wasn't an Apple problem was to connect my IBM T41, via ethernet, to my AEBSn. I was able to connect to internet so I knew it was a conflict between my wireless card and the AEBSn.
I am now using the WPA2 encryption for the AEBS without issue and connecting many different types of hardware; three iPod Touches, two MSI Wind Netbooks (Win XP SP3), one IBM T41 (Win XP SP2) wirelessly and both my 20" iMac and Dell 8250 Win XP (SP2) by ethernet
The MSI Winds are brand new and they would connect to the AEBSn but couldn't get an IP address from the internet (Limited or No Connectivity error message). The AEBSn was using WEP encryption. After doing a little research I found that WEP was a very common cause of this error message so I switched the AEBSn to WPA2 and everything works fine now.
Don't assume that because you can't connect via OPEN it isn't a encryption issue because my Winds wouldn't connect that way either...it wasn't until I changed to the WPA2 Personal that they connected.
You may also need to change the program that handles the WLAN connection, sometimes Windows handles it better but for the newest addition to our household, the MSI Winds, I am using the Realtek utility that matches the WLAN card and everything is hunky dory...
Finally sometimes firewalls will prevent getting the IP address...doesn't happen often but it has happened to me so I would double-check that by turning off the Windows Firewall and just verify that it isn't the firewall (that's never been a problem with my Apple AEBSn but it was a problem with an older Dlink g model).
