Boot Camp driver update error

I keep getting Error code 1603 whenever I try to install the boot camp driver update under Windows Vista, it says something about a restart pending in the event log but I've restarted twice and it hasn't changed a thing, is there any way to fix this?

right click on my computer, go to manage, then to device manager.
Under display adapters, remove everything, may ask to reboot, try rebooting or just run installer again.
This fixed it for me, i tried so many things before i found this fix.

  • [MB Air 2013] Windows 8 says I need a Boot Camp driver update, but download is unsupported

    Hi all,
    I'm on a brand new 2013 MB Air running Windows 8 64 bit with Boot Camp.
    Windows is running fine, but I just recently noticed that I had a message telling me I had a driver missing and needed to update Boot Camp.
    Now, this computer is less than 1 week old, so I checked my Boot Camp verison first and it does say that I'm running Boot Camp 5.
    Just to compare the drivers, I downloaded the suggested update (from Apple, Boot Camp 5.0.5033) and put it on an extra USB drive.
    When I compared the drivers, the new download did contain significantly more drivers for various hardware(most of which I don't have), so I tried to run it from the USB drive.
    At that point I got the "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model error".
    I'm running Windows 8 64 bit, so I don't see why BCx64 is unsupported, and I'd really like to get the "driver update needed" message resolved.
    Am I being directed to the wrong dowload? Do I even need this one?
    Should I be running an update through OS X even though the message is coming from Windows 8?
    Any ideas on how to proceed would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    The actual answer is if you look at the download page at the bottom, you will see a link for supported devices.  You will notice that the Macbook Air 2013 is NOT listed.
    This upgrade does not apply for the newer MAcBook Air.  The current driver set you have is correct.  No upgrade is necessary.  It is only for the older Macbook Airs.
    Hope this helps.

  • Late 2013 imac 27" bootcamp install of win 8.1 pro, boot camp driver setup errors out

    I installed windows 8 pro via boot camp.  then once the win8 install completed the boot amp driver setup began automaticly.  it errored out at some point with the below error
    Boot Camp Install completed
    he installer incountered errors before the  boot camp could be completed.
    To retry these operations at a later time please run the installer again.
    What is this error?  It does not give me anything to go on.  it seems like most of the drivers were installed fully, but there is still a divce under device manager that is not installed completely.  Also, I don't have the boot camp icon in my system trey in the bottom right corner of my screen.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • Latest Boot Camp Driver Update doesn't work correctly, how do I roll back?

    Hey guys. I am running Windows XP and I just recently updated my Bootcamp drivers through Apple Software Update. Ever since then, the Mac keyboard functions keys (brightness, volume, eject, etc) will not work and the audio drivers are messed up (all audio crackles, just like it did before the boot camp drivers were installed in the first place). Thanks!

    In Windows go to the control panel/system/device manager & select each of the affected devices (one at a time) and use the 'rollback to previous driver' option.

  • Boot Camp: Driver Update (Windows Vista SP1)

    I'm running a dual boot MBP Unibody w/ OS X & Vista SP1 64Bit
    I don't like to install Boot Camp in the Windows OS due to the fact that updating drivers can be a pain when installed via boot camp. However, since I've done so, I've lost the functionality of some of the hardware.
    If anyone can point me to a place where I could find drivers for the following I would greatly appreciate it. If I dont get a response, I will attempt to manually extract the drivers from the OS X Install CD.
    Drivers Needed:
    Express Card 34 Slot (The Drivers needed to get the slot to work, regardless of card)
    Apple I Sight Built in Camera
    IR Receiver
    Trackpad
    System Specs:
    17" MBP Unibody
    Windows Vista SP1 64Bit
    2.93 / 4GB / 9600M GT
    Sonnet Tempo eSata Express/34 Card (Rev. A) (I have the drivers for this, but the card isnt recognized when placed in the MBP)

    you must run system 1 dvd where bootcamp is, open folders and there choose driver/64bit ..
    no choose witch one you like and install with right-click as problem or something like this.
    you take working with vista sp1 before and so on ..
    i run 64bit win7 rc1 with all drivers exept isight.

  • Boot Camp installer updates crashing WinXP

    Hello
    I installed WinXP on my iMac today (2.6Ghz i5 processor, 16GB RAM, 2TB drive, OSX 10.6.8).
    After running Windows (all the updates were installed), I tried to update the Boot Camp. My OSX disc installs Boot Camp 3.0 and I Software Updater is not updating it beyond that.
    From Windows (Safari browser) I located and downloaded Boot Camp 3.1 and 3.2 from the Apple Downloads area.
    However, when I run the 3.1 installer (which needs to be done before 3.2), I get a blue screen and this error msg:
    "STOP. c000021a {Fatal System Error}
    The windows subsystem process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc0000005 (0x7c911629 0x00c5ebe0).
    The system has been shut down."
    I then have to do a hard restart to get back.
    I did this several times and got the same result (am I Einstein or what?).
    In short I cannot get Boot Camp software updated - and I know that I have to get to 3.2 which has the latest drivers for WinXP 32bit.
    Any ideas on what I can try to fix this?
    Also - WinXP only recognises 2GB of RAM - when I have 16GB installed ... how can I get Windows to use the full 16GB?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Perhaps some umwanted advice, to one who wants to save $$ be re-using ...
    MS probably has disavowed the existence of XP, for all intents and purposes.
    If I did load it on a desktop by itself, I would expect 3 days of downloading patches on even the fastest internet line.
    Windows 7 has the best "production level" support MS has to offer currently.

  • I'm trying to create a Windows partition using Boot Camp. An error comes up telling me that I need to reformat my current partition(s) into one single partition. However, it's already formatted in the correct format, and is already a single partition.

    As made clear in the title:
    I'm trying to create a Windows partition using Boot Camp. An error comes up telling me that I need to reformat my current partition(s) into one single partition. However, it's already formatted in the correct format, and is already a single partition.
    My computer recently had a kernel panic, which apparently the corruption was in the system and needed to be erased and re-installed. I have a complete back-up using an external hard drive, and I am definitely not willing to do another one of those to reformat a partition that is already singular. I restarted the computer after ejecting my back-up, and after turning off time machine (thinking that boot camp was recognizing it as a secondary partition), however the error still occurs.
    Is there any way to get around this?

    From my very basic knowledge - it still looks as if there is only one partition (not including the windows 7 CD necessary to install the windows partition).

  • Fresh install and preserve boot camp drive?

    I have an older 2007 MacPro (2 dual core CPUs @ 3Ghz) that has the following...
    MacPro Internals:
    Mac HD drive = 500GB (Bay 1)
    Mac RAID drive = 500GB (Bay 2) + 500GB (Bay 3)

    Final Cut Studio 3
    Logic Pro 9
    Adobe CS4 Extended
    FX Factory
    Flip4Mac Studio Pro HD
    QuickTime Pro (purchased version)
    I'd like to do a clean install of SL. The reason I want to do a fresh install is that when I went from Tiger to Leopard (2007 MacPro) vs. Leopard pre-installed new (on my 2008 iMac), there are indeed some difference -- specifically different Leopard driver support that appeared on a fresh install iMac, but not when "upgrading" on my MacPro (printer drivers for example).
    My hunch is that SL will detect existing drivers and NOT upgrade them to the SL version -- which may or may not be a good thing especially if the SL version drivers are 64bit while my L version drivers are 32bit. So the end result with going the "upgrade" route will be a mixed bag of 32bit and 64bit drivers. I'm pretty sure this is NOT gonna be a good situation if I ran the "upgrade" rather than a fresh install.
    However, it's CRITICAL that I not lose my Windows Drive (Boot camp) with Vista 64 on it. This is a separate physical drive (Bay 4) but if I do a fresh install of SL, will the installer recognize I have a Boot camp drive and will it still allow dual boot using option key at startup (showing my the Mac or Windows drive to boot to)?
    Rob.

    Hi Rob,
    Sorry been out of the country
    Yes you are correct the EFI Looks after the booting of OS's from any hard drive.
    if you hold down the alt key while booting it will give you a list of drives it thinks it can boot from.
    In theory any windows volume with XP SP2 or newer should boot (+though if not installed on the same hardware originally is will complain about divers & if more than 15% of the hardware has change windows sometimes needs to be reactivated+)
    I run multiple systems at my office using the same multi hard drive setup you have and have never had any problems changing / updating the Mac HD while leaving the Windows HD fully intact.

  • Using Casper 6 to clone Boot Camp drive

    I've cloned my XP Boot Camp drive using Casper 6.0 to a new NTFS internal drive but am unable to boot into the newly cloned drive.
    I've sent the log files from the cloning to Casper's developer and they've said everything looks correct.
    Pressing the option key on startup does not display the new'y cloned drive.
    Going to System Prefs>Startup does display the drive but when I select it for startup I get an error message saying something to the effect that I need to insert a bootable CD. I can boot from the Casper CD but I need to boot from the drive.
    The new drive is formatted NTFS using GUID Partition Table. Just like all 4 of my internal drives (2 of which are NTFS) I have not set any jumper blocks on the cloned drive. The drives are all SATA.
    Any ideas how I can resolve this?

    Well I sort of fixed my problem w/booting my Casper drive. I ended up purchasing Paragon Partition Manager Pro and created a bootable clone of my XP BootCamp drive on the first attempt.

  • Boot Camp Driver installation crashes every time

    Struggled all day to getting Windows installed. Attempted Vista at first, kept failing. Finally managed to get XP installed. Inserted Leopard to install Bootcamp Drivers and it always fails at Apple Keyboard. I hit "Finish Installation" to conitnue and then it always ends up freezing somewhere further down the road or once I got a blue screen memory dump type error.
    I'm using a brand new hard disk with Leopard freshly installed and a MacPro (dual 3GHz) so it's a fairly clean, new setup. It just isn't working. Expect absolutely no answers to solve this problem, just logging for the record that it's not working and I'm finished banging my head against a wall with it... it's not yet ready for "primetime" if it has this many problems even on a clean new system like mine.

    Tell Me About it!!!! Boot Camp 1.4 is definitely better than 2.0!!!!
    I have format my Mac pro for like the whole wk. and boot camp drivers juz keep crashing my laptop upon restart. So far have not found a fail safe method to install vista. Pls help if any1 has found a solution; so far i have tried as administrator account:
    1. Install Vista Ultimate --> Install Boot Camp drivers --> Restart (FAIL)
    2. Install Vista Ultimate --> Install Boot Camp drivers --> Update Vista --> Restart (FAIL)
    3. Install Vista Ultimate --> Update Vista --> Install Boot Camp Drivers --> Restart (FAIL)
    The only way i have found possible to not crash vista is not never ever restart after installing boot camp drivers even if boot camp ask u to; I mean never ever ever...and forget about adjusting brightness in vista ever tooo; vista would hang...and u would get the problem again and agian juz like barney.
    If anyone out there can save...Pls do...Much appreciated

  • Kernal Panic after Boot Camp Software update

    Hey all here is my dilemma,
    I have a MBP 15' 2.66GHZ i7 8GB Ram etc...
    Few days ago my internal drive would not boot; So I went to the apple store and they 'determined' that it was the logic board through a very sketchy process of elimination. In the end my logic board was replaced.
    On the next day I decide to finally set up boot camp (Big Mistake). Everything goes fine up until I decide to download - Boot Camp Software Update 3.2 for Windows 64 bit. After installation I was prompted to restart my computer after which it booted into Mac and Kernel panic ensued along with the gray screen.
    Windows partition works fine, I was unable to boot from CD, tried PRAM reset, Could not safe boot. Target Disk mode formatting the hard disk and then reinstalling Mac OS was successful in reinstalling the OS, but it still does not boot.
    Now I am stuck with Windows 7 working and Mac not booting stuck at apple no spinning wheel.
    Please help, I really do not know what do to.

  • Where do I find the boot camp driver for my MacBookPro3,1

    I have an older model intel macbook. The model identifier is MacBookPro3,1. Can anyone provide me with a link to download the correct boot camp assistant and drivers? I don't have the old installation cds that it normally comes with. Any help would be appreciated.
    Also, I'm also doing the same thing on an intel MacPro. It isn't the latest model but the model just before that.

    Apple makes it so you need OS X DVD to get Boot Camp 3.0 first before you can install or download updates.
    Call and request replacement DVD, or just buy SL 10.6.x DVD $29.
    That would be newer and your OEM didn't come with 10.6.
    I assume you have the original discs for 2009 Mac Pro.
    Any 10.6 DVD will provide Boot Camp driver for any Mac.

  • Boot camp drive won't mount?

    how do I mount boot camp drive?
    I updated to Lion and the latest version of vmware fusion and now I can't see the partition in finder.  I've loaded macfuse and the problem still exist.  I'm thinking since I get a message at boot about the NTfs drive won't mount so this has to be the problem.  Any thoughs?

    Yeah this is a common problem with a boot camp partition from a older OS X and then upgrading to Lion.
