Boot camp and Vista...Windows give me boot up error

I have the macbookpro with os 10.5.6. I just installed windows vista ultimate on bootcamp and loaded all the drivers.
Everything works well except that when I boot up windows, in the beginning it gives me something like this:
Unrecognized partition, fix drive 80, please rebuild it using microsoft FDisk Tool.
The message error is something like this...it will scroll like 3-4 times but it will actually boot into windows with no problems.
Any clues?

nd welcome to Discussions and a Happy New Year,
have a look at the procedure described here http://www.lancelhoff.com/2008/09/29/unrecognized-partition-table-for-drive-80/
Hope it helps
Stefan

Boot Camp and Vista SP1

Hi. I have a Macbook Pro running Leopard and Vista. Is it safe to install Vista SP1 in Boot Camp 2.0? I haven't heard of too many issues, but just making sure it wasn't going to break anything. Thanks.

I'm having the exact issues as webcat, but I'm on an iMac 2.8 (early 2008) ATI video & 4GB using 10.5.4/5.
The BC util worked fine through partitioning (32GB) and Vista-SP1 (Ultimate) install, and the the OS-X CD-1 driver update - but once in Vista the stated symptoms showed up. I had initially ran Windows Update, but no Vista Ultimate updates were found. There was also an attempt to run some Apple software update but the pop-up went away before I had a chance to read it.
I have down loaded the BCUpdateVista32.exe and tried to run that (GUI) a few times, but it always fails with the "Boot Camp UI transform Update has stopped working" error - faulting module listed as ntdll.dll 6.0.6001.18000.
So, where to now is my question? I have seen some hope from the Cmd-Line 'softwareupdate' method, or I can run through the registry and 'purge/change' as deemed needed. The confounding thing is that the BC 2.1 update is a Windows EXE, so I need to work in that environment to get it installed, and I had presumed that with my updated 10.5.4/5 before I started, that BC would have been at the v2.1 level.
It seems I may yet need to burn a CD of drivers and and update the supplied OS-X drivers with the BC 2.1 items - is this possible?
Thanks for any help and direction with this.

Boot camp and Vista home basic

everything seems to be working well with BC and Vista. Vista has this tool that automatically checks for problems, and then tries to find solutions, this is all done in the background. When I check to see if I had any problems, well I do. It states that there are missing Apple drivers and these drivers can be found on the apple website or by using Apple software update. Well Software update says all is up to date, and that goes for Apple and Vista. Is there anyone else experiencing this with Vista Home Basic?
Thanks.

you may need to re insert leopard and re download the drivers. There is also an option to "fix" the drivers when doing this. That's what I had to do.

How can I use an external USB drive on my Macmini with Boot Camp and Lion/Windows 7?

I have a MacMini (Last model with a disk drive). The Mini has Lion and Windows 7 installed using Boot Camp. I want to attach a 350GB, USB, HP Personal Storage Device (Hard Drive) to the computer and be able to use it in both Lion and Windows 7 mode. The USB drive is formatted for Windows 7. I only want to use it for storage and back-up purposes for both operating systems. It would be nice if I could access the total disk from either system without having to reboot to change operating systems to view Windows 7 files and reboot again to view Lion files. Can anyone offer any guidance or any informational websites to help me? Thank you for any help!!

Yes, you’ll be able to do that.

Running Boot Camp and Installing Windows on external Firewire HDD

Hello,
In a few days i'll be taking delivery on an iMac i7. I would like to keep windows off of the internal HDD and let it run from an external HDD. I am told this can be done, but I cannot figure out how.
When I start Boot Camp Assistant in Applications>Utilities, it wants to create a partition in the Mac HDD.
So now it't time to be smarter than the machine. Here is what I figured could be done. I just need to know if I'm on the right track.
I hold down the "C" key on startup with the Windows DVD in the iMac. That will start the Windows DVD and start loading the OS. At that point, Windows will ask me where I want to install the OS. I select the Firewire drive, assuming windows sees it. Is this correct? If so, then what about Boot Camp, or am I way off base here.
Thanks for any support.
Ron

Never gonna happen, don't know where you read that FW was bootable. USB "sometimes" but you need to have the option in your BIOS setup for it. Not an option.
You can always run Mac OS from FW.
Maybe even put OS X using optical drive bay w/ SSD? and use the internal drive. But if you are so against putting Windows on your drive...
Perhaps a VM (though not for gaming, it is decent especially on the new iMacs).

Mac Book Boot camp and Vista Home Premium - will it run ok?

I have the latest black Mac Book with 2GB of ram installed. Will this allow Boot Camp to run Vista Home Premium ok? Or should I go for Parallels instead?

I run the exact same system. The Vista performance test scores are as follows:
Processor 5.1
Memory 4.6
Graphics 3.3
Gaming Graphics 3.1
Primary Hard Disk 4.8
Obviously this is not a system for really high end gaming, but the average user will be very pleased with the performance. Do not forget that you can use a flash memory USB device with ReadyBoost to get a little bump in these numbers.
I could not be happier with how Vista Home Premium runs on my Macbook. It takes 3X the time to start up as Mac OS X.

Late 2013 iMac 27". Used boot camp and installed windows 7 pro. While in Windows 7, in my pc the mac os does not show. Is there anyway to fix this outside of restoring entire computer and trying again. Thank you from a mac newbie

Hello. I bought a new iMac 27" with the following specs:
3.5GHz Intel Core i7 Quad-Core (Haswell)
32GB of 1600MHz DDR3 RAM
3TB Fusion Drive
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M Graphics (4GB)
27" LED-Backlit IPS Display
2560 x 1440 Native Resolution
802.11ac/a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0
Thunderbolt, USB 3.0, SDXC Card Reader
720p FaceTime HD Camera, Dual Mics
Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion (64-bit)
After installing all Mac update, used Bootcamp to create a Windows 7 drive. Everything went fine to a point. While in my Mac OS i can see the windows partition just fine and see/edit documents. However, when in the Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, I cannot see the mac os in my computer at all.
Can someone please help this mac owner newbie? This process worked fine on my mac mini and i have no troubles. It is just on my new iMac that it wont work/show the highlighted paragraph above
Any ideas and/or help would be greatly appreciated.

I understand that much. On my MAC Mini, if you look above at original post, I CAN see both OS while in the Windows 7 partition or the MAC OS. This is NOT the case on my iMac. Again, when in the MAC OS I can see the windows partion and move information between the two that way. When in the WINDOWS partition, the only one that shows is the Windows OS from my computer or network. The only way you can tell its even a MAC is the bootcamp icon in the bottom right corner of toolbar. Both have same version of MAC OS so both should work same way.. When i double click on my computer, it should show both the Windows drive AND the MAC (as does my mini and another iMac 21.5 that i have). This iMac does not do that - only shows windows.

I was wondering if I could use Boot Camp and install Windows 7 on my black Macbook. I don't see where I can tell what year it is from in the about this mac option either...? Please help. I am afraid that my mac is considered vintage now :(

I read somewhere earlier that if my macbook is vintage, then I can't install windows/bootcamp. Maybe this is too big a venture for me to undertake anyway, but just in case I wanted to get a little help before I dig too deep... I think it was late 2006 or early 2007 when I purchased my black Macbook.

To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
model 1,1 (Early 2006)
model 2,1 (Late 2006 & Mid 2007)
model 3,1 (Late 2007)
model 4,1 (Early 2008)
model 5,1 (Late 2008, Aluminum Unibody)
model 5,2 (Early 2009, 2.0GHz Model Only)
model 5,2 (Mid 2009, 2.13GHz Model Only)
model 6,1 (Late 2009, White Unibody)
model 7,1 (Mid 2010)

Using Boot Camp to Install Windows 7. Keep getting error message "Installer Disk Not Found"

I'm partially throught the Boot Camp set-up process and keep getting the same error message when trying to install Windows. The disk is in the drive, not sure why it's not recognizing it.

I had this problem on my brand-new Mac Pro, but fixed it in my case by burning another copy of the installer disc (from the official download image, not a pirate copy lol) at a SLOWER speed, rather than allowing it to burn at the "maximum possible" setting. This gives the laser more time to properly record, but it didn't perceptually increase the time it took to burn the disc.
I speculate that error-checking is too stringent, but weak; that is, not intelligent enough to correct any read errors. Of course, Apple's test configurations are likely using commercially-produced off-the-shelf discs rather than burned from downloads or they know to never use max speed out of habit.

ITunes and Vista Windows on new computer

I just bought a new computer which has Vista installed - my old computer (Windows XP) had my ITunes on it. I have been trying to install ITunes on this Vista (Home Premium) computer and it will not install, I get this message when I try to install it.
ITunes could note be installed because Visual Basic Script (VBScript) is not installed or has been disabled. Make sure VBScript is installed, turn off script blocking in anti-virus and personal firewall software, re-register VBScript, and then install ITunes.
I have no idea what this means or how to fix whatever it is, can someone help me or tell me of a website I can find to help fix this problem.
Thanks for any info
Darlene

Lots of problems with Vista installs. Eventually Apple will update iTunes to install/run better on Vista. Nobody knows when.

Palm III and Vista/Windows 7

I have a Palm III that I still use. Moving to a new computer with Vista (soon Windows 7). Is there a way to sync the Palm III to Outlook 2007 Contacts running on Vista? My understanding is that there is not a Palm Desktop for Vista that will work with the Palm III.

Hi,

According to this description, the problem should be occures when installation trying to compress old OS to Windows.old file, but encounter some problem.
In my opinion, this problem probably caused by security software that prevent this operation. If you installed any security software like ESET, Avast, etc. Try to uninstall them and retry to upgrade your system for test.

After I installed Firefox Beta....My original Firefox and the beta give me a connection error. Neither will connect to any website. Internet Explorer is happily working fine

I have windows xp with service pack 3
My computer is well taken care of - no problem there
I have plenty space and memory available.
The problem happened when I downloaded the new beta version of Firefox

Firefox 6 won't settle down as the next release Firefox 7 is already planned to be released later this month.
You shouldn't be using Firefox 5 because it doesn't have the patch to disable the DigiNotar certificates that was the reason for Firefox 6.0.2.<br />
Using unsupported Firefox versions is at your own risk and makes you vulnerable to attacks.
