  • Boot Camp - "No AMD graphics driver is installed" error during win8.1 post-install

    I have Macbkook pro early 2011 (i7 2.2ghz, 16 GB RAM, radeon 6750M 1GB)
    I used boot camp utility to install win 8.1 - it completed without any problems.
    When the installation was completed the bootcamp wizard opened automaticaly and this was shoved to my face:
    The process continued until the "Installing Intel Graphics" process. Then the screen just went blank. I waited some time

    When I wanted to boot to windows I was constantly welcomed by black screen after the "windows splash-screen-spinning-animation thingy".
    I went to safe mode to see what's going on. It turned out that if I TURN OFF my INTEL HD 3000 driver then I can boot to normal mode but
    the 6750M drivers have yellow exclamation mark (error 43 in details) in device manager. I need that gpu enabled since I do some game developent which requires gpu power. I tried reinstalling ati drivers and looking for new ones on the internet - each of them failed. What could be the problem?
    Can anyone help me out?

    Hello HPENVYm6-1201TX,
    I have read your post on how your notebook computer is producing an error message in regards to your AMD driver, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    To ensure that the software is installed and functioning properly, I recommend performing a clean boot on your notebook. To do this, please follow this document on How to perform a clean boot in Windows. This should help eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows.
    The next step I suggest is to remove the AMD driver installed on your computer, and install the driver provided on HP's website. If you need to, you can use this document on how to remove software from Windows 8.1. You can find the necessary driver by click on the AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver.     
    Instead of updating the driver from AMD's website, please follow this document on Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 8) to update the necessary drivers.
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!
    Regards

  • Installing boot camp on a second drive

    Hi All,
    First let me apologize for this long-winded post and also for my lack of basic knowledge when it comes to mac computer skills.
    I would like to install windows 7 on a brand new 500gb drive in a brand new mac pro.
    I was reading through the installation & setup up guide for boot camp and was stonewalled on page 6 it says;
    “If your computer has more than one internal disk and you want to install Boot Camp on a disk that isn’t in the first hard drive bay, remove the drives in the lower numbered bays. You can reinstall the drives after you install Boot Camp.”
    Ok that makes sense but if I remove the first drive how do I install boot camp since the first drive contains boot camp on it?
    The next question I have is; Can I make the whole 500gb drive one partition that will have boot camp, windows 7 and all the windows files on it or does it have to have just boot camp and windows 7?
    Thanks
    Mike

    Shutdown - pull OS X drive(s) - continue with install.
    You'll have to change to NTFS when you get to where to install.
    At that point you can even format or partition.
    As for the Assistant, well, some install Windows 7 on a drive without it (that can't be done with XP) and just leave one drive and boot from Win 7 DVD.
    "that will have boot camp...."
    There IS NO "boot camp." The assistant modified the partition table to include a standard MBR for booting Windows. And that would be on the #2 500GB.
    Until you install the Apple setup.exe drivers and services after Windows is installed from your OS X DVD, there is nothing in or on Windows that is faintly about boot camp. Unfortunate term. It also gets to become a control panel in Windows to change the default startup OS (why not call it Apple OS Switcher / Apple Startup Disk).
    There will be AppleTimeServices and AppleOSSwitcher services along with HAL and device drivers to enable them in Device Manager.
    As for lowered numbered and first drive bay, they must think Mac Pro owners are locked into and only boot from drive bay #1. and that Assistant is a very limited not very smart partitioning tool is true.
    So run Assistant but instead of restarting with the DVD and install, just shutdown. Pull all the other drives but 500GB. Then boot off the DVD.

  • "Booting from Boot Camp Assistant created USB Drive...Failed to load BOOTMGR"

    Hi Apple Ppl of the Wrld: I need help I been working on installing windows 8 on my Mac.
    Spec of equipment:
    Mac Book Pro Mid 2012
    Bootcamp Version: Version 5.0.4 (473)
    Bootable USB Flash Drive: Type Scan disk 4 GB windows 8 pro iso image but without the driver and the 2nd Scan disk USB flash drive with 32 GB with the Bootcamp Drivers downloaded and saved to this drive.
    Please Note: I also have the original back up installation disc for Microsoft 8 Prof 64 from Microsoft where I purchased it from.
    1st Bootcamp is not recognizing the Original Microsoft 8 Pro backup disk from microsoft itself.
    Solution: I created the New Image from the Original Microsoft installed disc in my desk top and changed the extension to .ISO then burned the ISO image into the newly purchased DVD+R. Then I ran Bootcamp Once again and it get the following error message "The installer disc could not be found -- Insert your Windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for the disc to be recognized. Solution
    2: Created a bootable usb drive with bootcamp assistant successfully with bootcamp. Yes I close, ejected or un-mounted any image that was open or had been previously used then i restarted the Mac. Next, I start the bootcamp assistant tool once again then i get the same insert your windows installer disc message. 
    3: Then I try to resolve the installer disc not found issue: this are the steps i took: a). Lauch disc utilities
        1. Selected the top most drive 750 GB Macintosh HDD
        2. On the right you’ll see 5 tab buttons: First Aid | Erase | Partition | RAID | Restore.
        3. Choose Partition. Then I clicked + to add another partition size of the partition was 222 GB
        4. Change the Name of the Partition to BOOTCAMP
        5. Change the Format to MS-DOS (FAT)
        6. Click Apply to save the changes and then reboot your Mac and we’ll begin Windows installation.
        7. During reboot, press and hold the alt/Option key and you’ll be presented with drives to boot from.
        8. Use the arrow keys and return button to select the Windows yellow USB key drive containing your Windows 8 installation files.
        9. This will begin the Windows install. --> then i get the following message: "Booting from Boot Camp Assistant created USB Drive...Failed to load BOOTMGR".
    4: Take the Mac to best buy and let them resolve the issue and charge me like a million dollars for it :'( since i have no other idea who to get this bootcamp working at all. This has been a terribly lengthy issue and it is not as simple as it is claimed to be since i started with the Original Windows Disc Purchased from Microsoft and I have the Optical disc drive which it should be simpler from what I understand.
    Please can you help It would be of great help.
    <Email Edited by Host>

    from what i understand you are trying to install win 8 pro from a "backup disk" the one that you purchased from microsoft.
    this will not work, it is not an installer disk.
    you need to start the process again. erase the partition you made on your hdd. in disc utility click the minus button after selecting the bootcamp partition, then manually drag the divider down fully then apply.
    next, erase your usb then format it.
    download win 8 iso from here;
    http://getintopc.com/softwares/operating-systems/download-windows-8-pro/
    it is perfectly legal to use your purchased product key in this install.
    in bootcamp select the iso image you just downloaded, select your preferred partition size, check all 3 options.
    you have the support software on another usb but you wont need it so it can be discarded. the install will work far better with the iso and support on the same drive.

  • Is it possible to create two Boot Camp volumes on one drive?

    Recently, my MacBook Pro (mid-2009) was running out of space. I have a 500GB internal drive, with a 120GB boot camp partition. I opted to install a new 480GB  SDD in the optical bay, move the Mac OS and files to the SDD and leave the Boot Camp partition on the old HDD. Now I wonder, is it possible to split the HDD into two or even three partitions and have TWO of them run as Boot Camp drives for Windows?
    The reason is this: I have a work Windows drive and a development windows drive. I am running Parallels, but with our business systems, and the developmnt aspect, I need to boot both into native Windows if possible. I'd rather NOT use up SDD space for a Windows machine, since it's already smaller (and I like the faster speed on the Mac side anyway).

  • Boot Camp For Lion -- USB ISO Method --"Booting from Boot Camp Assistant created USB Drive...Failed to load BOOTMGR"

    Hello, has anyone had experience with dealing with this speciifc problem?
    In short, upon rebooting, I am getting a black screen with a line of text that says, "Booting from Boot Camp Assistant created USB Drive...Failed to load BOOTMGR." Nothing happens after that.
    I am using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4. I have an ISO of Windows 7 Prof. along with an 8GB usb drive. I changed the coding in my bootcamp program to allow for the normally first invisible option that allows creation of a USB Installation program using an ISO that is normally only for computers without an optical drive.
    I have that box checked, the check for new software box, and the install windows box checked. I went through the process of creating the USB, downloading the software, and partitioning the drive. Then on restart, I get the failed to load bootmgr error.
    Some people have suggested using two usb drives for this. I am trying that method but it does not seem to help thus far.
    Can anyone offer any help?
    Thanks.

  • Understanding boot camp and formatting backup drive for it

    somehow i never got to fully understand how boot camp works in relation to OS X and i am wondering if someone can help me out here.
    1. can i install boot camp on a mac pro and have NO mac OS on the computer at all? i have an old install here on a drive that i am not using and my recollection is that this is what i was doing.
    2. if this is the case do i simply BACKUP this Boot Camp OS to an external drive that is formatted for windows?
    3. if i have another newer mac pro (as I do) - and i am running yosemite on it - can i just run an partition on this drive and install my Boot Camp install (or maybe i run the boot camp installer and it creates a partition for itself)?
    4. in the PAST i used WinClone to create a BACKUP of the Boot Camp installation and simply dropped this backup on my OS X desktop which was backed up. is there any good reason for me to PARTITION the backup drive with a part of it being /partitioned/ as windows drive so that the Boot Camp Partition was backed up to this windows partition? the lacie external drive install app seems to ask if i want to do this and i got to thinking there may be a more direct way to backup BOOT CAMP than running the WinClone backup manually once in awhile and having this image backed up with the rest of the OS X partition.
    thanks for any help.

    thanks Csound. this is a tad confusing for me.
    i guess hatter is saying he would like to see the Windows 7 boot camp on its own drive. and right now i am basically planning on /restoring/ the WINCLONE image backup from my 2006 MP to either this separate drive in bay 4 in the 2012 MP or a partition on the OS X drive in bay 1 (if i can "cleanse" it of all the stuff it had when it was on my older 2006).
    i guess i do this /through/ the WINCLONE user interface but is it going to somehow drop this boot camp partition on a separate drive that somehow has its /own/ mac OS install on it? you know what i mean? i mean - say i want to put this boot camp install on an empty drive in bay 4, so i format it with extended journaled and then go into winclone and start some kind of restore procedure of my backup to that drive? i guess i am confused big time about this.
    also, just so i am clear. is that 2 partitions per mac pro or per disk? i mean, i do have an OS X yosemite on my drive and i am planning on installing windows 7 by restoring from WinClone image

  • Boot camp wont show the option for installing via iso file

    version 5.0.2(462)
    the boot camp doesnt show the option to install the windows  via iso file
    i wanna install windows 7 via an iso file
    plz help me as soon as possible

    That option is only available for Macs without a built-in SuperDrive (the MacBook Air, Mid 2011 and newer Mac minis, the Late 2012 iMac, and the MacBook Pro with Retina display).
    If you haven't got one of those computers and Boot Camp Assistant doesn't show the option to install Windows 7 from a ISO file, your Mac doesn't support the Windows installation from a USB because it's restricted by firmware to a Mac without a SuperDrive. In this case, you have to buy Windows 7 on a DVD from eBay or Amazon, and use it to install Windows through Boot Camp.
    If you still wants to install Windows from a ISO file, the only option is to install it on a virtual machine, using an application like Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox

  • I no longer want to use vmware fusion to run my windows session, can I use boot camp to launch my vmware windows install or do I have to start again with a brand new installation?

    Hi,
    I would like to know if I'm able to use my current VMWare windows installation through Boot Camp, I don't want to use fusion anymore but I'm hoping there's a way to set up boot camp and not have to re-install windows again, if anyone could let me know that would be great

    Thank you for your response GabeAlan, am i able to back up my virtual windows without access through VMware fusion? its locked me out since i upgraded to Yosemite, i prefer to see if i can avoid having to pay to upgrade to the latest fusion

  • Boot Camp on mini with SL: can't install Vista or Win7

    Have run Boot Camp Assistant on Mac mini with Snow Leopard (10.6.1) and successfully created a partition, but process hangs after "start installation" with an apparent re-boot, followed by a gray screen. The install disc appears to be recognized - have tried with Vista (upgrade) and Win 7 (full version) install media, using both the Mac mini internal DVD drive as well as an external USB DVD drive.
    Questions: 1) any chance of success using an ISO image on a bootable USB stick?; 2) I have a successful Boot Camp image install on another, more recent mini. Would a clone of it copied to my problematic mini solve the problem?
    My hardware: Mac mini 1.66 Intel Core Duo, 2 GB RAM, 100 GB HD, Intel GMA950 graphics chip.

    Ok....It appears that my cpu heatsink was not bolted down correctly. After fixing that the temp idels around 45 in BIOS... *sigh*

  • Blank screen when installing Windows 7 with Boot Camp - Mac Mini 2011

    I'm new to the Mac scene, having barely any knowledge on the OS.
    I've been trying to install Windows 7 via Boot Camp on my new Mac Mini (Latest offering from Apple).
    I have an External DVD Drive which I have been using, connected via two USB's to the back of the Mac Mini itself. It's fully functioning, with the Mac recognizing the Drive. I've used it for some CD's and DVD's so far.
    I have a full, licensed copy of Windows 7 Home Premium, bought from the Microsoft Store on a DVD. There's both a 64bit and 32bit DVD, of which I have tried both to install Windows 7.
    I've been through the Boot Camp Assistant software, un ticking both the "Create a Windows 7 install disk" and "Download the latest Windows support software from Apple" because I already have the Windows 7 install disk. I've had troubles downloading the Windows support software from Apple, as it just stops about 1/4 of the download for no apparent reason.
    So once I've made the partition, I insert the Windows 7 DVD into the External Disk Drive, and it reboots. At first it looks like the Disk Drive is working, as you can hear the Disk movement and a blue light on the front of the Disk Drive... But then the screen goes blank, and the Disk stops spinning (from what I can tell). Nothing else happens from then on.
    Is there any reason as to why this is happening?
    Thanks, Dominic

       Yes. Booting from a USB-DVD to install Windows
    The MacBook Air has extra drivers. Some people have edited the script preference plist to add their model Not all USB DVD devices may or may not work.
    Burning electronic versions like an ISO or in .exe format you will see threads where that is the issue.

  • BSOD after installing Boot Camp, AMD Radeon 6630M driver issue

    I have reinstalled Windows using Boot Camp twice now and get a blue screen right after installing the Boot Camp drivers and restarting.
    I am installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on my Mac mini 2011 edition. I created an install disk in Lion and used the option to copy the Boot Camp drivers into the disk.
    I have narrowed the problem down to Apple's driver for the AMD Radeon 6630M graphics which my Mac mini has. The driver will install without errors but then the blue screen appears on next startup. If I use safe mode to uninstall the AMD driver, the blue screen goes away, but the display resolution is very low.
    I checked for driver updates from AMD, but there are none for the 6630M.
    Anyone else having this issue?

    Hi,
    I have installed Windows using Boot Camp and I also get the blue screen of death right after installing the Boot Camp drivers and restarting.
    I am installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on a i7 Mac mini 2011 edition. I created the USB install thumb within Lion's Boot Camp, and got downloaded the latest Bootcamp drivers (bootcamp 4.0). I connect the mac mini to a 24" iiyama screen with a HDMI cable. I don't have a DVI cable anymore unless i would have checked that point too.
    I have also narrowed the problem down to Apple's driver for the AMD Radeon 6630M graphics which my Mac mini also has. The driver will install without errors but then the blue screen appears on next startup. If I use safe mode to uninstall the AMD driver or renaming the atikmdag.sys file (the main cause of the crash), the blue screen goes away, but the display can't get the effects such as Aero interface.
    AMD provides official drivers that don't recognize its own 6630m graphic card with Apple, then doesn't install any up-to-date driver... Only Apple's AtiGraphics setup program will install the drivers...but it makes Windows 7 crash at each boot.
    Thanks for your technical skills or info to come over this issue (or releasing a bootcamp update ?)

  • Can I install boot camp on new startup drive?

    I find I have to use Windows to administer a Network Solutions
    hosted and built website. They claim to support Mac OS but
    there are issues and they tell me that Internet Explorer is the
    more reliable browser to use. So I'm wondering if I should
    replace my primary drive with a new one and install Boot
    Camp. Is this a workable solution? Should I consider one
    of the virtualization programs?
    Tom

    I would suggest trying a VM first, and I would suggest using VirtualBox (as it is free), it will work but with a slight performance hit. If the hit is more than you can stand go the Boot Camp route.

  • MBP Late 2010, How can I install Win7 Boot Camp using External Optical Driv

    Hello:
    I have a new MBP purchased in February. It's not the 2011 model. I replaced the Optical drive with an SSD drive and put the optical drive in an external enclosure. The Optical drive works great, reads, writes, etc. My Windows 7, Pro 64bit DVD works also, tested on a PC.
    I use the Boot Camp assistant to create a partition. It them reboots and never starts up from the optical drive. I get an Apple logo alternating with a stop sign.
    I have got back to OS X by starting with the Option key and choosing my OS X volume.
    I tried booting to the DVD by using the option key, that did not work. I then choose the EFI option which allowed me to hit any key and appeared to boot from the external optical drive. Windows setup screen came up and I hit enter to start the file loading process. It eventually stopped when the progress bar was all the way across the screen. Then nothing.
    Questions {Please give definitive answers, not guesses, thanks :)}
    1) Is it possible to setup a boot camp Windows installation without an internal optical drive? Yes/No.
    2) If yes, how?
    3) I see the rEFIt utility has helped some but I read mixed reports. Will this help me boot and run Windows setup from an external optical drive? I don't want to install it if it's not known to be a certain fix.
    4) Is my only options to reinstall the optical drive?
    I chatted to OWC the vendor that sells the bracket. They had no idea how to install a Windows BC partition without an internal drive.
    I am seriously discouraged by what seems to be Apple wanting to control everything. I had a Mac Pro and Air book in my future but now, it's on hold.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kevin

    I tried what you are doing with a 2007 MBP, and could not get any Windows CD s to boot from an external optical drive, firewire or USB.
    I think this is fundamental to Windows which won't boot from an external USB drive either even on a Windows machine (although I believe there may be complex ways of achieving this). I don't think this is Apple trying to control the world.
    I ended up taking the MCE Optibay out and putting the original optical drive back in.
    Just possible that something has changed between a 2007 MBP and 2010 MBP, but I doubt it.
    If you want the second internal HD, you have two options:-
    1. Put the Apple optical back in, install Windows, then take out the optical and refit the SSD. The external optical will still be able to install windows apps and data etc, just not boot any windows install CDs or utilities (like Paragon rescue disks). You will not be able to do a Windows repair install without refitting the optical.
    2. Parallels, which has come a long way in the last two years. I am 99% certain that Parallels will install from an external optical.

  • Installing boot camp/windows  on separate drive (Tiger) question

    I work in a college computer lab where we have been instructed to install an additional internal hard drive on our lab of Mac Pros which will be dedicated to Windows.
    The issue that I see is that we are still running Tiger due to some of the specialized software that we use not being compatible with Leopard and will not be upgrading the OS for at least a semester. I have read that Boot Camp is no longer compatible with Tiger, so my question is this: Is it possible to still install the drives which will be windows formatted if we have a copy of the old Boot Camp Beta (which I understand is no longer available)? I would think this is not particularly wise to do, but unfortunately I am not the final say in my situation.
    Thanks for your help on this!

    maestrotim wrote:
    Thanks Stefan, sorry but what drivers CD do you mean?
    With the Beta the neede Windows Drivers are incorporated into the BootCamp Assistant.
    Since you need the drivers to complete the Windows Installation, you have to make a Drivers CD from the BootCamp Assistant before starting the Windows Installation.
    In the Top Menu of the Assistant you find this.
