Boot Camp not able to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit!!???

Guys I'm using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 & I'm having a problem installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit through boot camp. When I insert the windows installation disc it creates the partition but as soon as it restarts to proceed the installation, it hangs up there saying 'No Bootable Device. Please Insert Installation Disc and press any key to continue'. But when i was previously using Mac OS X Snow Leopard, I installed Windows 7 using the same disc and it proceeded without any issues. Can any body give me a solution to it please because I want Windows 7 in boot camp and I do not want to use it in any virtual machine like parallels desktop!!! I AM USING iMAC 2010 so its quite new!!!!!!

I am having the same problem. I have a very recent 27" iMac 3.4g i7 and I am trying to install Windows 7 64bit upgrade.Also running OSX 10.7.2. It also stalls out after expending files reporting that there are missing files with a error code 0x80070057. I was trying to install a fresh complete version but had bought the upgrade.. I had vista on another machine but had taken it off and was going to use the key for the upgrade. No windows had as of yet been installed. I later tried to install Vista as a way to upgrade to Win7,which went ok, but when I tried to upgrade to Win 7 64bit, I couldn't. I have tried this multiple times without success and have removed the boot camp partition after each failed attempt... Any Suggestions?? Thanks in advance

Boot Camp not able to download Windows 7 Install Disk

I am trying to install Windows 8 on my 2011 Mac Mini. I have a Windows 8 disk, 8GB bootable USB drive, and am trying to download from Boot Camp: 1) a Windows 7 install disk, 2) latest Windows support from Apple, all to install 3) the Windows 8 OS on my yet to be partitioned hard drive.
It goes about about 20% into the process and stops with this error message: " Your bootable USB drive could not be created".
What am I doing wrong or missing?
Thanks much for any gudiacne or suggestions.

To my knowledge there are no official MS Windows DVDs that contain both the 32 and 64 bit versions. There is a way to make a USB thumb drive that has both bit version on it but AFAIK this can't be done on a DVD disc even with a Dual Layer DVD disc.
For the Windows installer to function, actually boot the system to the install routine, certain files have to be on a certain area of the DVD disc. If by chance you really do have a DVD disc that contains both bit versions your Mac is only seeing the 32bit version on that disc.
You'll need to get a Real MS DVD of just the 64bit version or download the 64bit version ISO from My Digital Life and burn it to a DVD disc.

In fact i'm using a DVD with both 32 and 64-bit win7. But it's the only one I have. I don't want to install the newest Win 8.
So you're saying there is no solution for this?
Thank you so much for your response.

Not able to install windows 7

Hi - I am not able to install windows 7 in my imac (latest version). When I try using the bootcamp, it gets stuck at the place where I am asked to partition the hard disk for the windows system and does not go any further. Has anyone experienced such a scenario?

This is one method.
1. Remove 240G SSD from Optibay.
2. Re-install Optical drive.
3. Boot from 240G SSD using an external enclosure/SATA-to-USB connector. You can also boot from an external flash drive as mentioned in OS X: Installing OS X on an external volume - Apple Support.
4. Run BCA and format the 128G for Windows completely.
5. Install Windows.
6. Remove the Optical drive and install the 240G SSD and test.

I started Boot Camp on a MAC mini but then had a power failure after 30 secs :( Now when I start Boot Camp the option to install Windows 7 is gone. In it's place is Remove Windows 7. It seems to hang at Partitioning disk Can I recover?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
That's because the Boot Camp volume was created, but your Mac hasn't been set up to start automatically from the Windows disc. Insert the Windows DVD and press C key while your Mac is starting to start Windows installation.
If you want to make sure that everything is correct, open Boot Camp Assistant and choose the option to remove Windows 7. Then, open that application again, select the option to install Windows 7 and you will be able to install Windows as usual

Hi AliahMurfy,
To install WMF 5.0 Preview on server 2012 R2, please make sure the version of .Net Framework on server 2012 r2 is 4.5.
And manually install the package and check if it can work.
And please also note, WFS 5.0 preview seems only can install on en-us windows now, for more detailed information, please check this article:

I hope this helps.

Yes, purchase Paragon Camp Tune for the job.

Boot Camp is missing after installing windows 8.1

One year ago i installed Windows 8 preview on my macbook air with Boot Camp and it has been working perfect until now.
I downloaded and installed Windows 8.1 full version directly from microsoftstore, but afterwards Boot Camp driver was missing from Windows (from Notification Area and Task Manager->Startup). Then i cant switch back to OS X.
Need help!

holding in option key during startup present you with the option of which partition you wish you boot into
you find the latests apple bootcamp drivers and utils here

just need to find the version which match your mac

I am wanting to use Boot Camp to partition and install Windows.

I have a MacBook Pro 13" and I downloaded the upgrade recommended to use Boot Camp 5.1.5621 for Windows 7. The file is saved in my Downloads file and am needing to know if it linked itself to my factory installed Boot Camp Application?
If it did link the Downloaded Updates can I move the file Boot Camp 5.1.5621 without messing up the path to the Boot Camp Application?

Boot camp not showing ''Create a Windows 7 install disk''

So i am trying install windows 7 64 bit version on my 2008 macbook pro and i dont know if this is the problem or not, it doesnt show ''Create a Windows 7 install disk''.
The other thing that i have not made clear is, when doing a windows 7 cd, do i need to burn ISO file on DVD or should i open it and burn all the files inside the iso image, to the disk?
Is there any specific ways or versions of Windows 7 for bootcamp or i can dowload any tipe of windows 7, put it on cd and use it as a bootable CD?
P.S.: I already had windows 7 ultimate 64 bit installed on the macbook. I installed it from my friends copy of Windows 7 Ultimate and i cant find that CD anymore, so when i tried to do a new copy of windows on CD and do the bootcamp it didnt recognize it, like there was no installation disk. That means i should make a bootable CD with windows 7 files on it or what?
Thanks for help.

Can I partition a 3tb fusion drive on a 2014 imac27", with boot camp, to let me install windows 7?

I have used boot camp to create a partition for Windows 7 on 3 earlier Macs (iMac 24" 2007 / Mac Pro 2009 / Macbook Pro 2009) as well as a recent Macbook Air 2012.
My main reason for this is to use Sage Account/Payroll, and also a couple of other Windows-specific programs.
I have just replaced the old iMac with a new iMac27", with a 3tb fusion drive, and want to partition it to install a new oem copy of Win 7 sp1.
However, I found an article on this (link: http://twocanoes.com/winclone/support/installing-windows-on-a-boot-camp-partitio n-on-a-3-tb-fusion-drive) implying this might not currently be officially supported by Apple & boot camp assistant, and providing a workaround procedure to create 3 partitions. The article begins with this note: "Important Note: This help document is for reference only, superceded by updates to OS X that include support for 3TB drives and Fusion drive in Boot Camp Assistant. Use Boot Camp Assistant to create the Boot Camp partition."
I have two questions:
1 - Can anyone advise if updates have now been made, to provide this support for partitioning the 3tb fusion drive?....and if not, is this likely to change soon?
2 - If this is still not officially supported, can anyone advise if they have successfully created a Windows partition on the 3tb fusion drive & installed Win 7?
Thanks in advance.

Based on Apple's knowledge base. this configuration is supported for Windows 7 x64 and 8 using Mountain Lion 108.3 or higher. Simply use BootCamp Assistant to set it up.

For your application, you might also consider virtualization software like VMWare Fusion or Parallels.
I use both BootCamp and VMWare Fusion. Fusion is much easier to install, more flxible, runs at the same time as your Mac applications etc. For typical applications, there is no notable performance degradation.
If you need high performance graphics for gaming, BootCamp is still the best way to go. For all other applications, I prefer VMWare.

Boot Camp - Black Screen after installing Windows 7

Hello guys!
I have tried to install Windows 7 several times and so far no success.
Everything goes fine until I complete Win7 installation.
Then when I install Boot camp drivers the computer prompts for reboot.
After the login screen, I am able to log in, but the screen turns into BLACK!.
And I cannot do anything but shut it down with the power button. I can still hear that the laptop is on, but screen stays black.
I have tried removing the ATI and NVIDIA Drivers as recommended in this forum:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=840528
But so far I get the same result over an over.
Anybody is facing the same issue?
I have MACBOOK PRO
MAC OS X 10.6.8
AMD Radeon HD 6490M (ATI)
Intel HD Graphics 3000
Quad Core i7 Chip, 4GB RAM 500GB HD
Please Help!!

I did install : Display Driver + Catalyst Control Center dowloaded from AMD support website:
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/bootcamp-win7.aspx
The result is still the same - BLACK SCREEN
I rolled back to initial configuration.
Then I installed the AMD driver.
In device manager it shows as the AMD Radeon HD 6490M driver for the display/Graphics card
Everythig is fine until I install the Boot camp drivers.
Then after the reboot I face the same issue.
However the driver for AMD still stays there in the devive manager.
Any other ideas, suggestions?
thanks!!

IMac has been updated and I don't have install disk for 10.6 or later. Can I still proceed with using Boot Camp 3.0 to install Windows?

I have an iMac that has been updated to Mac OS X 10.6.8. When I purchased the computer, it came with Mac OS X 10.5.6. Will I be able to use Boot Camp 3.0.4 to install Windows without a physical disk of Mac OS X 10.6 or later? Could I get around that if I've backed everything up to Time Capsule? How do I take care of any drivers I may need?
Thanks!

Hi,
you need the OSX Snow Leopard Install DVD since it is the only valid source of the BootCamp Drivers.
The 3.0 version of the BootCamp Drivers is only avaiable on the disc.
Later updates (3.1 and 3.2) can then be downloaded from Apples Support website but require that the 3.0 drivers are already installed.
Easiest solution IMHO is to buy a retail OSX Snow Leopard disc for USD 29.
Btw. the seller of your Mac should have included the install disc for the OSX that is on the harddisk.

Stefan

Boot camp 4 can't install windows support drivers

Hi everyone,
I have the new imac 27" with thunderbolt and preinstalled Lion. They dont give you a CD.
I run Boot Camp assistant (version 4.0) and try to install windows on a purchased DVD Windows 7 x64 ( i am a recent convert to mac but still need some windows proggys.)
Ok so once I run the installation It asks me to download the windows support drivers... I do this but then it stops 3/4 through the process and comes up with an error "can't install windows support drivers".
Do any of you out know how to fix this???
Also If I dont use the option to update the software before installing and just select install windows 7 (second option) from a disc. It installs windows fine BUT it wont install any of the network, usb, camera, graphics and sound drivers. so basicaly I am blocked from the internet for windows to update the drivers. I also cant get the driver files from another computer as the mac in windows mode can recognised usb sticks as the drivers arent installed.
I need help urgently on this as it is doing my head
Thanks in advance.
Daniel!

Yes, but.
Open Network Preferences>Network>Advanced>Proxies and uncheck everything (try Passive Mode on, and off, but no auto Proxies)
And try again.
