Boot camp missing in leopard upgrade

Hi!
I just did an upgrade to leopard but I can see boot camp,I don't know if it missing or is just not compatible with power book G4, any help will be appreciate it.

Boot Camp is only compatible with Intel Macs; it cannot be used on PowerPC Macs such as your PowerBook.

Install Leopard with boot camp on snow leopard.

I upgraded to Snow Leopard and have a piece of line 6 hardware that is not compatible. Updated drivers are taking forever to come out and I need to use this hardware. I'm wondering if it would be possible to use boot camp to install leopard from the installation disk included with my macbook so that I can boot to it to use the line 6 device.
Any help would be appreciated.

The easiest way is to use Disk Utility in the Utilities folder to create a 2 partition set up. Disk Utility will be able to do this without erasing your existing information.
- Select your volume the one with the disk size at the top
- Click on Partition
- Change the Volume Scheme to 2 partitions
- Answer any messages and such
I am sorry since I have mine partitioned with BootCamp for my Windows 7 partition, I am unable to describe all of the steps as BootCamp locks me out of performing the rest of the steps.

Missing Boot Camp Assistant on Leopard Retail disk

I updated (erase and install) my PowerMac G5 with Leopard retail disk (purchased on 16 Nov 2007 in Apple Store-Toronto) and can't locate the Boot Camp assistant in the expected Utilities folder.
I have tried the Go to Folder mentioned in a similar thread, but the retail disk has a different name - it's a single DVD, so doesn't have a suffix of 1. I tried specifying the name to match my disk, but get the Folder not found message.
When I did the Leopard install, I customized to unselect the printer drivers that I don't need.
I don't really want to do another erase and install, and the update option won't fly because I have 10.5.1 update also installed.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks!

Boot Camp only works on Intel Macs. The equivalent for PowerPC Macs would be Virtual PC.

Boot Camp on Snow Leopard can't install Windows-Stuck on black BIOS screen

I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on an early 2008 Mac Pro (dual 3.2Ghz Harperton CPU's, 10gb RAM) with Boot Camp version 3.0.4 (all updated). I've successfully had a Boot Camp partition in the past, running WindowsXP32 Bit. I just purchased Windows7 Professional and can't install either the 32bit or 64 bit version. Neither can I install any of my original Windows disc. Boot Camp successfully creates the partion, then asks me to install the Windows install DVD/CD which I do, and then when it reboots, it gets stuck in a black BIOS screen that says "Initializing..."
I've tried all my Windows discs: WindowsXP-32bit, Vista-32Bit, Vista-64Bit, Windows7-32Bit, Windows7-64Bit. Same problem...gets hung on the black BIOS screen. I disconnected all my USB hardware except for my keyboard/mouse. All my other internal drives are disconnected.
The only thing that I can think of is that is different is my MacHD is a 500GB Seagate MomentusXT solid state hybrid drive.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!!
Thanks

Hi fellow Mac buddie,
I just zapped the PRAM, and also reset the SMC switch on the mother board.....no luck.
In refenece to the hybrid SSD drive, I've already taken that one out, put in a fresh 3.5" drive, formatted and installed a fresh clean version of Lion OS, and then attempted the Boot Camp install using Lion with the newest Boot Camp version (3.1 or 3.2) Please see my original post above.
Same issue, black BIOS screen.
Also tried Boot Camp Windows install on a second drive in drive bay 2 (an option now in Lion's Boot Camp)
same issue, black BIOS screen.
Lastly, I've tried all these interations using my three different Windows install disks (XP, Vista, Windows7).
XP is a "full install" disk, Vista and Windows7 are upgrade disks. But I've had XP installed previously using Boot Camp with no problem. So I'm confused I can't even install XP.
As another option, I went to a friend who has a PC, and I installed Windows 7 on a new hard drive. I'm about to install that in drive bay 2, reboot while holding down "option", and see if I can boot directly into that disk.
That's a workaround, as is VMWare Fusion which I have and Windows7 works fine as a virtual machine.
But when something doesn't work the way it's supposed to (in this case Boot Camp), it bugs me makes me want to know why it doesn't. I'll report back with regard to the 2nd bay Windows7 hard drive install.

Can't find Boot Camp on my leopard install DVD

I upgraded to leopard when it came out. I have the leopard DVD install disc. I can not find Boot Camp to install it. I also can not find the boot camp install assistant on my computer or on the disk. Please help, I need to install xp badly and ASAP! Thanks

So the DVD you inserted is the iMac install Disc 1? When I type in the "/Volumes/Mac OS X Install DVD/System/Installation/Packages/" nothing happens.... I see you are using an earlier OS 10.4.
As you can see I using 10.5.2 on my new iMac
Can you help

Does anyone know what will happen to my boot camp partition once I upgrade to lion?

I have MacBook Pro (4,1) running leopard 10.6.8 and am hesitant about the upgrade to lion because I have a FAT boot camp partition with window xp in it and a number of apps that I wouldn't like to lose in the process. Does anybody know how the upgrade handles the boot camp partition?

While this is the way it is supposed to work, because the Lion upgrade does try to create a new Recovery HD partition on the system disk, there is a chance that the BootCamp partition can be corrupted. Unfortunately Apple does not provide a tool or instructions on how to backup the BootCamp partition. I have had good results with WinClone even though the program seems to be no longer supported. I have just restored my XP BootCamp partition after my live partition was apparently corrupted by my Lion install. My recommendation to anyone running a BootCamp partition would be to back it up prior to any upgrade attempt.

Com port failed with boot camp and snow leopard - Please help!

Hi. I have been a very happy leopard and macbook user for the last couple of years. This week I upgraded to a macbook pro with OS X 10.6 snow leopard. I set up boot camp with Windows XP SP3as I have a couple of windows only applications that I need to use and they both need serial port. I had a Keyspan USA 19-QW serial adaptor that worked fine with Leopard and my old macbook. I installed the driver that came with the Keyspan adaptor. Now when I plug the adaptor into the USB slot it finds new hardware and says it is ready to use and the adaptor is listed in my ports as being on COM3 in device manager in windows but when I try to run the programs I get the message 'the selected port could not be opened. Either the port is in use by another application, or the port doesn't exist'. I'd be very grateful for any advice you can give me to solve this problem. Do I need to buy a new adaptor? Is this a settings or driver issue? I'm a user and not a techie person so please can you leave me easy step by step help. Many thanks. Karen

And was wodering if snow Leopard is pré installed
Yes.
And also which disc that came with thé machine has boot camp on it
None. Windows is a separate purchase.
i havé read that to install windows7 you need to pût thé snow leopard disc in to complete thé installation
That refers to the Boot Camp drivers for Windows, not Windows itself.

My iMac will not boot up from the Leopard upgrade disk nor will it eject it.

My iMac is very slow and sluggish. Followed online instructions to use the Disk Utility to run repair. After doing so it told to reboot my system from the install disk and then run the Disk Uitility to run repair from it. I put in my Leopard upgrade disk and tried to reboot. I get the chime and the Apple logo and hear the disk trying to be read, but after about 5 minutes my iMac shuts completely off. I have tried to eject the disk using all the methods found in the community and nothing works. I want to try my orignal Mac OS X install disk to see if that works. My computer is about a 2007 model. It worked great until just a couple days ago. Frankly I can't afford to take it in so I will have to figure this out on my own with your help. :-(

I cannot open terminal. When booting I get the gray screen with the Apple logo and the twirling comb goes for a while and shut the computer completely off.
I got into the single-mode user and learned the following: disk1s3: I/O error. SAM Multimedia: Read & Write failed, SENSE_KEY = 0x03, ASC = 0x02m ASCQ = 0x00.
Singleuser boot -- fsck not done
Root device is mounted read-only.
If you want to make modifcations to files: /sbin/fsck -fy
/sbin/mount -uw /
I typed in the drutil eject and got:
SAM Multimedia: Read & Write failed, SENSE_KEY = 0x03, ASC = 0x02m ASCQ = 0x00.
Library not loaded. Reason: not suiteable image found.
It did find:
/system/library/rivateframeworks/installserver.framwork/versions/a/installserver : unknown file type, firfst eight bytes: 0xCA 0xfe 0xba 0xbe 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x04 Trace/BPT trap.
I have tried holding the left mouse key, the eject key and nothing happens. To bad I can't pull the
thing out with tweezers.
So where do I go from here?

Windows 7 + Boot camp 2.0 / Leopard

Hi
I bought windows 7 32 bit the other day and installed it on my early macbook 13" alu with leopard and boot camp 2.0. It works almost perfectly but after installing I was told I couldn't install the boot camp drivers from the Leopard DVD and the guy who told me was right. I didn't knew I had to have Snow Leopard installed to get my windows 7 to work correctly?
I'm only using my windows 7 to run Eviews which i'm currently using for my studies, there is no problem running it, but I still have the red LED light glowing on the side of the mac. My question is can I install Snow leopard without removing my windows partition and then afterwards install the newest boot camp drivers in windows partition?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

I am replying to this message because I cannot for the life of me locate the new topic button. So I am having an issue with Bootcamp on a brand new mac "SNOW LEOPARD". I have for the last 4 days been trying to install Windows 7 on a 25 gig partition and it just won't work. The computer will install the files, reboot, and shut off at the windows screen with that little color thingy that comes up. I cannot get any support from Apple, or Windows so, How do I get windows on my mac?? I need windows for work to run their software.
Thanks very much for any help

XP can't see the CDFS Boot Camp Volume on Leopard DVD with New MBP

My new MBP 2.4 works fine in OSX aside from this annoying issue where my fresh XP Bootcamp install doesn't detect the PC compatible image on the Leopard Install DVD1 disc to run the Boot Camp installer program and load the drivers and software. At first I thought it could possibly be my superdrive but after checking the disc on the XP and Vista machines in the house including the one with Macdrive on they can't pickup the Boot Camp installer either. My old retail Leopard DVD does work perfectly, but as the new MBP has newer drivers than the original image and the 2.1 update only the sound driver has been installed
I've put a support request ordering the replacement DVD's but they aren't due to arrive till the 21-24th Dec (sent by UK Royal Mail means after the 27th) and when my Thinkpad CPU fan broke last night I need this XP setup for work fixing Windows boxes a lot sooner than 10 days.
Has anyone got any ideas where I can get the newer drivers in any kind of format on the internet so I can get XP up and running before Santa arrives?

Hi,
sorry to hear of such bad luck.
Sadly there is no official download possibility for the drivers you need.
Unless someone has put them on a Torrent site...
Since even your Windows PC can't read the Windows portion of the OSX DVD it is most likely that they are defect.
But you still try this procedure for gaining access to it http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060823101421566

Install windows 7 32-bit using boot-camp on snow-leopard

I have Snow-Leopard running on my MacBook. I want to install Windows 7 32-bit Professional. I have already purchased copy of Windows from Amazon. I never'ed install Windows on my MacBook till date, so I don't know what to do, and how to install it.
Please share your experiences of installing Windows using Boot-Camp. I need screen-shots or video that can help me with installation.

Windows 7 requires Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard and the Boot Camp 3.1 Update. For complete system requirements information, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1899
The 3.1 update is here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL996
The 3.2 update is here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1333
Here's a couple of sites that helped me when I used Boot Camp to install Windows XP.

Help with boot camp partition on leopard!

So I wanted to increase my partition disc size, because I ran out of space. So I restored it and started the whole process over again, using like 75 out of the 102 gigs of free space. This time, something went wrong. I window came up and said:
"The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved. Back up the disk and use the disk utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended(journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
All I want to do is repartition it... I need help plz, thanks. Oh and I assumed the big files were obstacles so I deleted some 1-6 gig stuff I used to use not anymore(not any system stuff either) but that didn't work. Help!

I bought a new MacBook today with Leopard. I tried to install Windows XP (with service pack 2). I chose 32GB for windows. When I clicked start installation the screen went white, the windows CD was ejected and nothing else happened.
I had to switch it off manually and then I tried to restart the MacBook. The screen was just black.
I just read this:
+This means that the Windows partition is not bootable, usually because of a formatting problem. The Boot Camp Setup Assistant creates the Boot Camp partition, but the Windows installer must format it. Boot back into Mac OS X and re run the Boot Camp Setup Assistant. Remove the partition and re create it. Then install Windows again, this time allowing Windows to format the partition. Refer to the "Boot Camp Installation & Setup Guide" PDF document for more detail on installing Boot Camp.+
I couldn't reboot it into the Mac OS X so I went back to PC World and created merry ****.
They blamed me and I blamed them and said there was a formatting problem. I left the MacBook with them and they said they would try and install windows XP for me. I collect it today.
What do I do if they can't get windows on there as I don't really understand what I read above so will need something a bit clearer....step-by-step.
Can anyone help me please?

Can't Install Boot Camp from Snow Leopard DVD in Windows 7

I have an iMac "Core 2 Duo" 3.06 24-inc (08) running 10.6.2 and Windows 7.
I was able to successfully use the Boot Camp Assistant to partition and install Windows 7 on my iMac. After the installation, I was able to download updates from Windows Updates which included video drivers.
However, when I inserted my Snow Leopard DVD to install Boot Camp 3.0, the Setup.exe only gave me two options: To Install Mac OS X remotely and to install CD/DVD Sharing. I was not presented any options to install Boot Camp.
I did manually navigate the Snow Leopard DVD and found a Boot Camp directory with its own setup.exe and when I clicked on it, it gave me an Installation Error stating "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model". I did some research and I found no mention of my iMac listed as an unsupported model.
Any help would be appreciated.

When I inserted Snow Leopard DVD, the autorun didn't show me an option to install Boot Camp Drivers. Just like the author of this topic, it only showed me 2 options: to Install Mac OS X remotely and to install CD/DVD Sharing.
Then, I've run Windows Explorer, navigated to Snow Leopard DVD, opened Boot Camp folder and runned "setup.exe". The installer opened and Boot Camp 3.0 was installed successfully.
I don't know if it could help you guys with that error message, but after the installation of Windows 7 64bits, I've rebooted my Macbook Pro. Only after the reboot I did the Boot Camp Drivers installation.
You can also try to run the "setup.exe" as Administrator (right-click, Run as administrator).
Also, my Snow Leopard DVD is that grey one with the white "Mac OS X Install DVD" labelled on it.

Boot camp - install XP from upgrade CD

Hope to soon have a 20" iMac to replace an elderly windows tower. Wish to install XP in boot camp.
My old computer was originally win98 OS. This was upgraded using a retail XP upgrade CD. I had planned to re-use this CD and do a clean install in boot camp. I am told that I cannot do this since it will be necessary to insert my win98 disk for validation purposes during the install and it is not possible to swap disks during windows install on an iMac. This is because there is no eject button available until the installation is complete.
Would appreciate any advice on this and any workaround if possible.
Kenneth

Ken:
Unfortunately there is no workaround for this at this time. To install Windows XP or even VISTA, one must have a full version of the software OEM or Retail. No Upgrade CDs will work for the installation of windows. Furthermore, for Windows XP, it must be Windows XPSP2 (Service Pack 2) full version on a single disk.

Parallels 7 or boot camp on snow leopard

I own a MacBook Pro 13 [mid 2009]. I've upgraded it to 8gb ram.
My problem is I'm not able to decide if I should install windows 7 using parallels 7 or boot camp.
Also will it slow down the machine.
And I also need help in installing windows7.

If you use boot camp you will then have a Dual Boot system running each OS separately. If you use Parallels you will be running Win 7 on top of OS X being able to use both OSs at the same time.
BC Win 7 will have complete access to all hardware and resources
Parallels Win 7 will only have access to the VM resources, and physical hardware resources, you assign to it through Parallels. It would be slightly slower and make OS X run slightly slower. But you don't have to leave one OS to go to the other. Also with a VM install of Win 7 you don't have to pre define and use up as much physical hard drive space. The VM install will only use the amount of physical hard drive space as the VM needs. Expanding when needed and otr you can expand it or create a second Virtual Disk. Can't do that with BC.
Pluses and Minuses with both types of installs.
