Boot Camp HFS and MacDrive

I had been using MacDrive to read and write to my HFS HD in Boot Camp. With the new SL drivers, I can only read; it has overwritten the MacDrive functionality, apparently. This is a problem because I was sharing data in my home directory on both computers. Now that Boot Camp reads the permissions correctly, I cannot access my iTunes library on both partitions, for example. Is there a way to uninstall the HFS drivers?

I found your drivers. I had to disable them myself, they are in:
\windows\system32\drivers, (XP), they are;
AppleHFS.sys and AppleMNT.sys
Remove them and HFS support goes away. You will have to use safe mode
to remove them and/or Hack the appropriate registry hive using regedt32.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/141377
I don't recommend hacking the registry if you are not familiar with the process.
If you do, in any case, backup your windows install.
Another solution is to use an earlier boot camp driver set from Leopard 10.5.x

  • Can not boot into OSX after boot camp installation and resizing of Macintosh HD

    So from the beginning what I was trying to do was set up my iMac (27-inch, Late 2013)  with boot camp so that I could play some old windows based games that can not be played in Parallels.
    I went through the Boot camp process and everything set up just fine.
    I had both OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 and Windows 8 Professional running but as I was installing games on to boot camp I discovered I did not allocate enough space and needed to extend the Boot Camp partition.
    I used boot camp utility to set OS X as the default start up disk and had it restart
    I launched into OS X and used Disk Utility to shrink Macintosh HD another 120GB
    Restarted again holding option and launched into Windows
    Used the disk management in windows to try and extend the boot camp partition into the unallocated space.
    It was not an option to extend it so I tried to create a new simple volume from the unallocated space then delete it and try to extend it again.
    It still was not an option.
    From there I went to restart again while holding option and the only options I had were 10.10 Recovery and Windows
    I tried using disk utility in recovery and Macintosh hd now only showed disk0s2
    I tried to verify and it could not verify
    I tried to repair and it could not repair.
    I put the iMac in target disk mode and using a thunderbolt cable I tried using disk utility from my MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012)
    Verifying volume “disk2s2”Verifying file system.** /dev/rdisk2s2
    Invalid BS_jmpBoot in boot block: 000000
    File system check exit code is 8.Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk.

    File system check exit code is 8.Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.Error: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.
    This is the same error I got on my iMac
    I used terminal diskutil list and got:
    /dev/disk2
       #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER

       4:       Microsoft Basic Data BOOTCAMP                70.3 GB    disk2s4
    I can see that Macintosh HD was disk2s2 but it now shows its Microsoft Basic Data.
    I did not format this partition and it was working fine till I restarted the computer after resizing Macintosh HD.
    I am not sure what I can do to fix this.
    I've found multiple articles about similar issues, but the issue thet they have was that they could not boot to Windows instead of my issue not booting to OS X

    ****************    Update    *****************
    From the Windows Partition using Disk Management I can see that the drive is still labeled Macintosh HD and that all of my data is there.
    I have a complete backup so i'm not worried so much about the data.
    What I'm most interested in is trying to solve this issue because I'd like to continue using boot camp and I actually work with mac computers and would like to be able to help others if this issue arrises again.

  • Mac Pro/ Leopard/ Boot Camp/ XP and 2 ATI Radeon XT1900 ????

    I recently went surfaced from a hardware nightmare with my Mac Pro. I need 4 monitors on the XP pro/ boot camp side and was unble to do so using an added ATI XT1900 to my Mac Pro. The drivers would not successfully load. Also the added card buggered the original card. After uninstall and some trouble shooting I was able to get back to a functional configuration with 1 card.
    Now that Leopard is out with the new boot camp.... does anyone have experience (successful) with 2 video cards (ATI radeon xt1900) in boot camp/ XP pro??? I dont want to go through me last experience as my job depends on the XP/ boot camp working.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Dan

    Correct me if i'm wrong, but the original poster didn't ask or mention anything about Crossfire. (though as a side note, I have read that some people have sucessfully got their 7300gt's into SLI by purchasing a special dongle and downloading a hacked driver.)
    And as to whether a user would need two or more monitors for their needs is completely up to the them if it fits their needs, the way i see it the term 'waste' is subjective depending on the user and his/her needs.

  • Boot Camp "Quit and install later" corrupted the BOOTCAMP partition

    I just had my new iMac delivered.
    The first things I did was to run Software Update to install 10.6.8, then I installed 10.7.1 Lion and ran Software Update again just to be sure I got everything up to date as it should be. After installing a couple of applications via App Store and the web I set about to create a Boot Camp partition for my Win7 needs. When the assistant was finished (a new partition created and drivers saved to a USB memory stick) and told me it was ready to install Windows, but I choose Quit and install later (and oh, what I now regret that choice) because my Windows DVD was nowhere to be found (I should have looked a little harder).
    Then when I later found the Windows 7 install DVD I launched Boot Camp Assistant again, but lo and behold when it tells me that I need to reformat my partions and start over from scratch. Boot Camp Assistant refuses to let me install Windows because I choose Quit and install later.
    I have tried the following things to solve the problems:
    Repair permissions and repairing the disk.
    Start with the bundled OSX DVD to run fsck -fy followed by Disk Utility.
    Re-format the BOOTCAMP partition.
    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD (which claims something along the lines that the partition does not support Windows installations).
    Nothing works! Why? How do I solve this?

    The past and having used whatever. FWB HDToolkit, Silverlining, $10K worth of scsi means??
    windows requires that the partition table and format (GUID) has full functional MBR that Windows and Mac can work with.
    Ever heard of take your best guess and double it for how much space to allocate? or no matter how good your partitions will always need to be changed.
    Apple (that pdf guide?) is quite clear about one thing, which I usually but not here, take with grain of salt, that Boot Camp Assistant is a one trick pony to do the job of setting aside unfragmented free space for Windows.
    ie, you can't use FWB Toolkit of SoftRAID 4.0 (excellent though it is!). Though Paragon CampTune (the company is rare, supports Boot Camp etc) and can be used.
    If you created it now, but then you had 10.7 and Boot Camp 4, I could possibly get my head to imagine there could be an issue. And that is because every OS version has new changed partition table changes, making for this old (65 and going) mainframer to re-initialize drives whenever there is a change.
    You can clone your system, format, and restore nice and clean with SuperDuper in a Jiffy. So why bother now? can't see it.
    I understand people wanting 3 or more partitions. Wanting Windows to boot off external drive. Or use GPT and UEFT (that may happpen as 3TB drives and is beginning to be supported, but so far Apple and EFI are closed, proprietary, and GPT booting and EFI go hand in hand) but extra partitions is just... wishful.

  • IMac 2008, Boot Camp 5, and Windows 7/8 32-bit & 64-bit

    I am interested in installing Windows 7 via Boot Camp 5 on my iMac (see sig) but I'm confused as to whether or not my mac is even capable of installing Windows 7 at all. Let me explain.
    According to THIS support article, Boot Camp 5 dropped support of Windows 7 32-bit whereas Windows 7 64-bit remains supported alongside the newly supported Windows 8 64-bit. So far, so good. But according to THIS support article (scroll down to "Boot Camp requirements by Mac model" and click on "iMac"), my mac model (iMac 24-inch, Early 2008) only supports Windows 7 32-bit as of Boot Camp 4 and that Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 8 64-bit are not supported for my model. ???? That's the crux of the conundrum I'm facing.
    So my question is this: can someone give me a definitive answer as to whether or not my iMac is capable of installing and running Windows 7? What about Windows 8?
    My sincere thanks in advance.

    The truth is that you can run Windows 7 and Windows 8, in both 32 and 64-bit versions, without any problem (you have a 64-bit processor). The problem is that Apple only supports a 32-bit Windows 7 version for your Mac. Why? Because Apple wanted to drop the Windows 8 support for the computer you are using.
    You can see in this page all the Macs compatible with 64-bit Windows editions > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846 As you can see, your Mac isn't supported, so you can only install a 32-bit Windows 7 version with Boot Camp if you want to run Windows correctly.
    I told you at the beggining that you can install any 32 or 64-bit Windows 7 and Windows 8 versions on your Mac because your iMac meets the requirements for both editions. However, you need the Boot Camp drivers to make Windows run properly, and here's where Apple has dropped a lot of computers, making them unusable if you install a version that Apple clasifies as unsupported. Sad but that's true

  • Is SSD partitioning with boot camp stable and recommended?

    Is SSD partitioning with boot camp stable and recommended?

    The OS as already stated does not know the difference. The SSD will perform as it does with any operating system. SSDs can be partitioned as can HDDs.
    My Bootcamp partition is running exactly like it did on my HDD only faster. I have not experienced any issues with the Bootcamp partition or the SSD.

  • Can I erase the boot camp partition and dual boot snow leopard and mountain lion instead

    Can I erase the boot camp partition and dual boot snow leopard and mountain lion instead

    Please don't double post. Look at your other thread.
    If you want to get rid of Windows and the BC partition use the Boot Camp assistant program to remove the Win/BC partition. Don't do it manually with Disk Utility Use the BC A program.

  • Is boot camp 5 and OS X 10.9 compatible with Windows 8

    I recently bought the new iMac 27" (Late 2013) with following spec:
      Intel I7 3.5 GHz
      16 Gb RAM
      3TB Fusion Drive
      GTX 780M GPU (4G)
    I have been trying to use boot camp 5 and install Windows 8 on it so I can run work programs on the new iMac.
    Read through the Boot Camp 5 manual and follow it to the letter. Everything is normal until I hit the select partition to install Windows 8 screen (this is after rebooting using the windows 8 DVD).
    Either one of the two scenario happened (I try this many times already):
      There is no partition display at all (I mean nothing) and the only thing I can do is quite and reboot back to OS X.
    or
    All the partitions are display correctly (including the bootcamp one) but I can't continue with the installation because it's still in FAT32 format and i can't re-format it to NTFS.
    I have being through the Genius Bar & Apple Tech support without any luck. I have been told by the guys at Genius Bar (who is not very helpful at all) that Windows 8 is not compatiable with OS X 10.9 .....but Apple tech support told be Yes it is.......
    How do I install Windows 8 using Boot Camp 5 on new iMac (OS X 10.9)?
    Thanks in advance!
    defiantforce

    I experienced the same quirk.
    When you select the bootcamp partition to install Windows you get the message that it is not formated correctly. This is true, Bootcamp when creating the partition formats it as FAT. To fix, highlight the Bootcamp partition and click on Advance in the lower right hand corner. This will bring up a window with multiple options. Select Delete. This will now list the partition as unallocated. On the same screen in the lower right hand corner click on New. This will now display information on reallocating the space. It will be a little less because Windows needs a work area. Click on Apply.
    You will now be able to continue with the install process. I was sucessuful in installing Windows 8 Pro and then upgrading it to Windows 8.1

  • My Boot Camp, Parallels and Adobe quest.

    I've been a pc user since 1983! For now my desktop will still be a windows pc, but since deciding to get my first laptop I wanted to dive into the Apple waters and bought a MacBook Pro. My main apps are Adobe Lightroom 2 and Photoshop CS4. Without doing the full research I knew I could run both in OS X and Windows so I got the MBP. I also got a free copy of Parallels, since that seemed promising, with the Mac. Only after doing the initial MBP setup did I fully research everything.
    I found out Adobe will let me run in only OS X OR Windows not both. Since I'm not going Mac Pro for awhile that forces me to run LR2 & CS4 in Windows on my MBP. Since this might be done on week to month trips with the laptop my thought is to install Boot Camp with just my photo apps and 50% more space in a Boot Camp partition and run them that way. My data will be on Quad interface drives that I plan on accessing through ec34 eSATA card. I'll install Parallels perhaps, but don't plan on letting it touch my BC partition. I'll use the OS X with Paragon NTFS for all other non photo related work, i.e. stuff I do not also do concurently. Does that seem the optimum approach?
    If the MBP turns out as well as Apple says I'll plan for a long term software/hardware transition to an iCore7 based Mac Pro in the future with my Mac Book Pro heling smooth the transition.

    Nobody's answered in a year -- giving up.

  • Loading Boot Camp failed and now it tells me to repartition my main HD

    I had an issue running Boot camp and now it tells me to repartition my HD down to one partition. I just ran Time Machine to back up my computer to an external HD. My question is, if I repartition the main HD on my Mac Mini, can I restore my Mini back to what it looks like today, but with the correct Partition so that I may run boot camp again and all of my data and programs will still be there? I am afraid to lose all of my pics and programs if I do this repartition...

  • Parallel runs slow on Boot Camp partition and other questions...

    Hi all,
    I have had my MBP santa rosa for about 3 weeks. I love it. Everything is super fast and responsive on this thingy. I have parallel running on Boot Camp partition and it is slow. I mean its not awfully slow but when I click start (the play button of Parallel), I see the spinning beachball for 0.5 to 1 min. When I get to Windows XP or Vista (I tried both of them), there is no way parallel could perform up to "near native" speed, I get a lot of sand-clock and it takes 1 mins or so to boot up MS SQL server 2005. When i tried to open lots of windows at once, it freezes for a while then all the windows pop up. I dedicated 1gb of ram for parallel. I am thinking of removing boot camp and use parallel virtual drive on which to install windows. Would that make the performance any better?
    I have another question. I bought Disk Warrior 4 but my lovely cousin broke the disc into half coz he thought it was a cheap toy. Is there anyway I can make another bootable CD for disk warrior? I know BootCD only works on Panther. Can I use SuperDuper to clone my MBP and put the image file on a PC-formated external hard drive to bootup from there to run Disk Warrior?
    Thank you so much for your help. I gotta say this MBP is the best laptop I have ever used in my entire life. VEry happy with the purchase so far. Thank you Apple.
    MacNo0b
    p/s: Any recommendation on how to keep the Mac running well without slowing down? Cheers

    I have to say, I have never used Parallels in a system with 2GB. I don't feel that it's worth it given Boot Camp is available. That said, if you run nothing else it should run quite happily.
    If you're having problems getting through the installation try setting it up with a virtual environment that has no drive. That way you should be able to get through the installation/setup and then you can add your Boot Camp partition after that.
    As for transferring files, I will either use Parallels folder sharing else a 1GB DOS formatted USB flash drive.
    PS You're right, I certainly can't complain about the equipment I get to play with. I've had to fork out quite a bit of money for the privilege but it's all been worth it.

  • Repartitioning after Boot Camp issue and questions

    Hi,
    I recently installed windows XP via Boot Camp, and wanted to chop up my "Macintosh HD" partition into two so that I have a data partition for personal storage. I'm using Disk Utility to do this, it has been running for 8 hours. I checked the number of system calls that Disk Utility is making and it seems that it is making a couple of hundred per second. I was hoping people would help me answer the following:
    1. is it normal to take this long? even windows defragmenter works faster
    2. if it completes, would mac os x still recognize the XP partition and boot from there?
    Some people out there must have done this, is there light at the end of the tunnel?
    Thanks a bunch in advance!
    Tom

    You can't get the result you want following the steps you told me you followed.
    Once you have created the mac partition and installed you can only create the windows partition using boot camp. You cannot do a live partition of the original leopard boot volume to create another mac partition on the same drive.
    You also cannot partition a partition using Disk Utility, the only software available on the mac to partition a partition is Boot Camp Assistant and it can only do the partition when booted to the Leopard startup volume on which it is to be created.
    If you want to have a further data partition on the same drive you need to create it at the beginning using Disk Utility to create that partition.
    In your case that would be the data partition you wanted to create.
    The drive must use the GUID partition scheme.
    The Leopard individual partition (which will eventually be live partitioned to accommodate Windows) must be formatted for mac os x extended journalled.
    The data partition can be formatted with any allowed format and can be changed when you decide what format you want.
    Once these 2 partitions have been set up you can only use boot camp assistant to modify the partitioning and then only to create a boot camp partition on the volume that has leopard installed.
    The Leopard partition, once partitioned with Boot Camp Assistant, can now only have its partition modified by destroying the original boot camp partition and then setting it up again.
    You normally cannot partition a partition without destroying all data on the volume that the partitions are created on.
    This live partition is an innovation that was included so that those who wanted to either remove the boot camp partition or wanted to change the size of the partition would be able to do so, without also destroying their Leopard startup volume.
    Read my instructions again, the process you describe does not match what I have posted.

  • Boot Camp partitions and restarts to black DOS screen, white cursor

Nothing happens after that. If I restart it still happens. The only way to boot into OS X now is to hold option on boot and select my main drive.

    I got the 64 bit not the 32 bit windows 8, dont know if that plays a part or not.
    Doesn't matter, Windows 8 is not supported yet (Apple have not released drivers) at the moment it is pure luck if it works (as many have discovered) Use Win 7 or wait for support from Apple.

Maybe you are looking for
