Boot camp speed
Hello, I am thinking of installing windows 7 on my MacBook Pro to run certain games, however I would like to know if windows runs like a regular PC or as fast as OSX on a Mac.
It will run as fast as it would on a PC laptop with the exact same configuration and hardware. Note that laptops do no make good gaming machines.

How much does boot camp take speed from a macbook bro 15
Iam a architecture student and i need to buy a macbook for designing, And some of the program's doesnt work on OS-X such as Revit unfortunately , And i need to know if it does effect to much on the speed, please if anybody knows help me!!!. If its possible how much does it take, 50% 30% of the general speed.
When using Boot Camp, only one OS is running at a time. That OS has sole access to the computer's hardware; it won't affect Mac OS X's performance when running it.

Lion always forgets my mouse speed setting after using Boot Camp. How do I retain this info in Lion?
After I posted my question this thread showed up in the side bar. Too bad it didn't show up when I searched the forums prior to posting.

Snow Leopard - very slow restart / reboot and Boot Camp restart fail
Hi
After Snow Leopard installation on my Macbook Pro I have a very slow restart. I logged this immediately after install and waited till 10.6.1 was issued and installed but still have the same problems. Hope some one can help.
For an normal restart or reboot I have the grey screen for about 25 secs and then the blue screen hangs for about 2 mins 30 secs before loading desktop. This is longer than Leopard and clearly not what Snow Leopard is meant to be. I have installed on an iMac as well and can see the new normal fast boot.
I also have Windows on it's own partition and use in Boot Camp. I have used this successfully under Leopard.
When I restart from Windows using the Start button and restart, Windows shuts down and then the mac starts up but gets stuck indefinitely on the blue screen. I have waited up to 25 mins then forced a shut down.
However if I restart from Windows using the Boot Camp icon in the taskbar and choose the restart from MacOSX it shuts down windows and restarts the mac in record time!! about 25 secs grey screen and 25 secs blue screen. I can't get this in normal mac mode! - Bizarre.
I have run Disk Utility, repaired permissions, run Tech Tool, Onyx, reset PRAM, deleted startup items plists and removed startup items from System Preferences Account.
I have monitored the Console app for all the startup conditions noted above and will post below. In the logs of the normal mac reboot you can see something to do with Security Agent taking over 2 mins to load. Maybe that is a clue, but I don't understand these messages. Please note that the iStatsmenu app was installed after snow leopard and I had these slow startups before it's installation.
If anyone technical can understand what the **** is going on here I would really appreciate your feedback.
Regards
Eric

Thanks for your contributions. I have made little progress on this issue since posting.
Just as added info, I did a re-install of Snow leopard from install DVD and upgrade again to 10.6.1 and no change to the startup behaviours. Same pattern as before, although the first restart was fast and probably how it is meant to be, then the slow ones reappeared.
I also had a thought that somehow it may be related to the nominated startup disk. There were posts on other boards about similar issues with Leopard where the hanging start was found to be related to the computer not knowing which startup disk to use. I thought maybe as it works when using the boot camp icon from Windows but not the restart button, it may be related, but in OSX and Windows both are set to startup in OSX on HD. So no further joy.
Maybe someone else will come along who can understand the Console logs. Why does the loginwindow and Security Agent take so long?
Do you guys have any clues from your Console system logs? Does yours hang on loginwindow?
The fact that there are so few people with the same problem suggests to me that there is a third party device/preference/ hidden file somewhere that is having an effect and it's not an Apple issue.
I am getting close to wiping the hard drive and starting again....but live in hope.

MacBook Pro 13" Late 2011 Experiencing Significant Slow Down After Boot Camp Installation
Okay, so today, after installing Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro via Bootcamp Assistant, I experienced significant performance slow down (fans going at full blast, applications opening after extended periods of time, keystrokes not being registered) when I returned to my OS X partition/second hard drive. I have dual hard drives, one of them being a Samsung 256 GB SSD with OS X Mavericks and the other being my original 500 GB HDD, divided into a 250 GB OS X Mavericks partition and a 250 GB Windows partition. I have the SSD set as my startup disk and I have it located in the main HDD bay. I moved the old HDD into a caddy and placed it where the optical drive normally should be.
After multiple failed attempts to install Windows via USB and Bootcamp Assistant, I decided to reinstall my optical drive and use a Windows installation disk. This attempt proved successful, and I was able to install Windows 7 onto the 250 GB partition I had created for it on the 500 GB HDD. After completing basic setup of Windows, I removed the optical disk drive and reinstalled the SSD and the HDD into their original spots (SSD in the main HDD bay, HDD in the caddy where the optical drive normally is).
After completing this tedious process, I booted my Mac back up using the SSD. However, I noticed something was wrong when the login screen, apps, and nearly everything else on my desktop had slowed to crawl. I decided to check my Activity Monitor to see what the problem might be. Activity Monitor told me that the task "kernel_task" was taking up anywhere from 200-600% of my CPU, which explained the slowdown in performance. I looked around to see if there were others with the same problem as me, and I found that Spotlight Indexing might be an issue, with a potential remedy being move my Bootcamp Partition into the Privacy section of Spotlight under System Preferences. After doing that, I experienced no increase in performance and everything was still going very slowly.
The next step I took was to see if booting into Safe Mode would help the issue. After booting into Safe Mode on my SSD, I noticed that things were back to their normal speeds, with applications opening at the speed they should be and keystrokes being registered instantaneously. However, the fans were still going and had not shut off once booting into Safe Mode. In addition, I checked Activity Monitor and the "kernel_task" in question was no longer taking up massive amounts of the CPU.
At this point, I don't know what to do and I need help in restoring my Mac to original speeds. I may end up deleting my Boot Camp partition as a last measure if all else fails, seeing as I installed Windows in the first place for running a few programs and games that I can live without. However, I'd prefer to not have things come to that and fix things before deleting the Boot Camp Partition. I've heard that if everything runs normally in Safe Mode, then the issue is third-party software. Is this true?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am writing this from the MacBook in question in Safe Mode because it's essentially useless in normal SSD operation.1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
Paste into the window of another application.
Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start Time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

According to the apple support website, I have to document my panic kernel in Apple Discussions (a lot of information). I hope to get an answer.
*Documenting the problem: partitioning and formatting partition hard drive MacBook for use of Windows (Boot Camp)*
Date: April, 18th, 2008
*Description of the problem:*
According to the manual, I tried to create a partition of 20GB, but after several minutes I got the ´panic kernel´. (“You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the restart button”)
After restart I can ask for the report (see problem details):
After saving the problem details, I send the report to apple (2 weeks ago).
I guessed something has happened, part of the disk was gone. However, bootcamp will not proceed further (install windows, see manual).
With a startup from the leopard DVD it is possible to fix the problems, but every time I try to use boot camp, I got the same panic kernel and messages (till now 3 times). So, it seems reproducable.
During the fixing process Disk utility says (in red, translated from dutch):
- Minor adjustments in volumebit
- elegible number of files on volume
- elegible number of volume directories
- elegible number of free blocks on volume
At the end the follwing text appears (in green):
The volume 'Martijn's schijf' is fixed
After that, no problem at all☺
Nevertheless, in this way it is not possible to install windows. I would like to ask you if this problem is already known and/or described. I have searched on the net, but most of the information in forums is too detailed for me. Therefore, I try this way first.

Most kernel panics are memory or hardware. In this case, well, lots of threads with "Partition Failure" and / or "kernel panic." A google for "Mac kernel panic" will show a number of sites with FAQs.
Disk Warrior is also a handy disk repair program. Not only backup and have a bootable clone, but one with an emergency boot volume to use instead of relying on DVD and Disk Utility, and so you are running the latest versions. -
Boot Camp - Parallels - Windows 7 - 32bit - 64bit
Hi. First off, and not looking for sympathy - just a little background of myself: I have recently recovered from two bouts of high dose chemo and a stem cell transplant. My memory and brain...processing speed, for lack of correct word or two, is no where near what it used to be. I need things to be explained just a tad bit more thorough.
I have an iMac 27" 3.4GHz i7 - 8GB Ram - 2GB Radeon HD 6970 - 1TB HD and use FCPX for a lot of editing. I will, in the near future, need to use some Windows programming/software. Ok, now my questions:
1) Do I even need Parallels 7, which I just bought today, to use Windows 7 or is Boot Camp the way to go? (And I can get my $50 back.)
2) I have Norton's via COMCAST. I never assume, so, will I need to load my own Norton's with Windows 7 or will COMCAST internet connection, using Norton's, be acceptable protection?
3) ...I forgot...
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Jason1.) Depends on your usage of Windows and on the programs you want use with Windows.
BootCamp is the better solution for hardware-demanding Windows programs in the field of gaming and/or §d-rendering/movie-editing since it uses the native (real) hardware of your Mac.
Downfall of BootCamp is that you have to reboot your Mac to switch from OSX to Windows and back.
Parallels biggest asset is the ability to run Windows alongside OSX. Downfall is that hatdware-demanding programs are running slower.
2.) I am not familiar with the Comcast Norton, but when running Windows you must have a decent Anti-Virus solution for it.
3.) when it comes back, ask...
Get well soon

I just ordered a new MacBook Pro 17" and would like to run Boot Camp on it with Windows 7. If I just go ahead and buy Windows 7 from the Microsoft Store with a download CD will this work? I have heard rumors that you first have to partition it with Windows XP and then upgrade it to Windows 7? Any tips anyone has for me for doing this would be much appreciated.
Make sure your not looking at an "upgrade" version, you would have to have XP already in order to use Window 7 then. Otherwise it's just a rumor.
If you download it, all you have to do is burn the image at 2x speed like "Thehatter" said and then you will have a permanent copy also.
You might ask Microsoft, or do a search, and see if you have to burn it as an "ISO" (it becomes a Bootable disk instead of just a copy) or whatever. I haven't done it yet so I don't know myself. It might have instructions with the download.
Go here:
-- http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ -- and read the Windows 7 FAQ, Boot Camp FAQ and the Installation Guide a couple of times and by the time your computer get's here you should have a pretty good idea on how to do it.
Basically you just click on BootCamp Assistant in the Utility folder and then just follow the instructions. Have the Windows 7 and Mac-OS Installer disk ready.
Download the Installation Guide and read it a few times to familiarize yourself.
It's really not that hard. You might even read some of the older posts in this forum just to see some questions and answers you might have. -
How to back up Boot Camp and how to resize FAT partitions
I suppose someone has already addressed this topic herein, but in case someone needs help I am leaving with you what I learned.
I started with a partition sized to 18 gigs and installed Windows XP on it. Soon the drive became full after I installed software and various disc images so I can play games. I wanted to resize the partition to 28 gigs without losing my data, leaving 46 gigs on my Mac partition.
I was not sure what would work so I chose several methods of possible restoration. The easiest was to boot to the Mac and use Disk Utility to make a Disk Image of Boot Camp. The next precaution I took was to back up my settings with the Windows Files and Settings Wizard. Lastly, I booted to Mac and turned on viewing of hidden files. Then I copied all the files off the Windows XP partition onto an external drive. I also tried Acronis True Image while in Windows but it was not compatible.
I also discovered a free program called Winclone (http://www.tuaw.com) that makes an image of the Windows partition and restores it for you, much like Disk Utility works.
In OSX, I ran Boot Camp Assistant again to rejoin the partitions. Then I ran it again to partition the new drive to 28 gigs.
The first thing I tried to do was to use Winclone to restore the Winclone image. That failed with errors. Then I tried to use Disk Utility to restore the drive and Disk Utility would not allow me to restore the disk image onto the drive. I am not sure why Apple is so unsupportive of implementing their Disk Imaging technology within the context of their own self-created Boot Camp technology.
Anyway, the last thing I could try was to copy the files back onto the new partition or to give up and reinstall Windows and use Files and Settings Transfer Wizard to restore my Windows settings.
After partitioning the drive with Boot Camp Assistant, I copied the files over and rebooted. Windows said there was an unsupported drive. Then I realized that I missed a step in the installation instructions provided by Apple for Boot Camp. I forgot to format the drive again using the Windows XP install CD, that the Apple says is necessary.
So I booted up the Windows cd and erased the Boot Camp partition and made it a FAT drive so that I would be able to copy my files over to it from OSX, which I would not have been able to do had the drive been formatted as NTFS.
As XP started to install its software, and it started to copy files from the cd, I pressed the power button to shut down the Mac. (Do this at your own risk. I am warning you that this could damage your computer, so do NOT try this if you feel uneasy about it.)
I booted into OSX. Then I trashed the few files that Windows had started to install on the Boot Camp drive. Then I copied all my backup files back onto the partition.
Here is a widget that will allow you to view hidden files in OSX: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/hiddenfiles.html
I rebooted the Mac and held down the Option key while restarting. When the Mac and Windows drives appeared at the startup screen, I selected Windows, which booted up successfully. It then recognized the partitioned drive as new hardware and required me to restart, which I did.
I wanted to convert my drive from a FAT drive to a NTFS-formatted drive.
This is how I did that:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb456984(TechNet.10).aspx
After converting Boot Camp to NTFS file system I noticed an immediate speed increase in Windows XP. I
In conclusion, Disk Utility is a good method of backing up your partition, as it allows you to use a password to make a disk image of your drive. It also allows you to copy the files off the disk image onto the Windows partition. But it would be a lot simpler if Apple allowed them to use Disk Utility to restore the whole image back onto Boot Camp.
Other methodologies I did not get to explore because I am happy with my results:
http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-71165.html
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=241035After copying your files back to the Boot Camp partition you may get this error message when you boot up Windows XP. Notepad opens with this message "[.ShellClassInfo] LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\System32\Shell32.dll,-21787". If this happens to you please see this article from Microsoft. I had to perform both Methods 1 and 2 to remove the messages. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/330132

Boot Camp/Windows XP crashes when trying to play games
I'm at a complete loss. I've installed Windows XP with Boot Camp and everything starts up fine. All I want to use XP for is some light gameing. I've done this a few times with with different games. I get the same problem every time.
At some point while a game is playing the screen goes black. Some times the screen redraws, most of the time the computer simply turns off. This most recent attempt at XP gaming has come in the last few days. The game (Perfect World) truns off my Mac while I'm still making characters, not even getting to loading the game. Also each of these is after deleting the Windows partition and then creating it again. And is happening again after my hard drive has been replaced.
I have all the current Apple Drivers and I tried using the drivers from ATI for Boot Camp.
Additionally, I was having some issues with shut downs when playing World of Warcraft Mac side. Fearing that it was and overheating problem I took the computer in to and Authorized Repair shop. They kept it for 10 days and couldn't duplicate the problem, even when I had them log into my WoW account and they played for 3 Hours. I'm not sure if they just left it running (which will just time out) or if they actually did anything in WoW to push the system. The shutting down I'm getting on though happen with in 5-10 minutes of starting up on XP, with no prior time spent on Mac (ie. I just walked in from being gone for hours).
The more I do the more I'm getting the feeling and am being advised (by a Windows Tech friend) that there is a hardware problem at the root of all this. (Even though the Repair center couldn't find any problems.) Any thoughts as to weather this might be the issue?
Any thought on how to deal with this are welcome.
TIA

Well I got Input Remapper running because Speed Fan couldn't find my fans. Now after about 120 minutes on Perfect World I'm running between 135 and 140 F, but not shutting down.
Thanks so much for the help Stefan!
You're welcome anytime.
I'll be sure to post again if at a later point I have more problems.
Feel free to do so, I (and a whole lot of others) will be here
Though as a side note; Should i be looking into getting hardware fixed? I'm covered under Apple Care for about 3 more weeks. But last time i took it into my repair shop they told me they couldn't find any problems. : /
That is indeed the problem, if they can't find anything to fix, they won't fix.
If you can reproduce the error when in the shop (maybe disableing InputRemapper for that purpose) or if you have other problems (preferably while in OSX) it could be good to have them have a look at your Mac.
Make an appointment with the Shop Genius and go there with some free time at hand.
Take care

I bought and downloaded the windows 7 ultimate edition 64 bit iso, then proceeded to perform a correct burn to a DVD one at the slowest speed and one at the fastest. all went well. so I open Boot Camp assistant and follow the instructions to the letter, downloaded the driver support to the flash drive. partitioned my drive with more than enough room 150 gb. its starts its install. I get through everything seamlessly where I put in my info all with the exception of my activation code. yet it still continues to finalize the install and does another restart. boots back up to either A. black screen saying press any key to boot to my install disk. B. if I take it out just a white curser. also I read it may be because I had the flash drive in while I was trying to boot so I removed it as well, same result. any input would be much appreciated.
Boot Camp- Windows installation boots to black screen with blinking cursor.

I want to install Windows 7 on my MBP mid 2012 but in Boot Camp does not appear the check box: "Install or remove Windows 7 or later version". I continued with making the USB bootable with Windows 7 but then when I restart and boot with the USB I still can't install Windows because then I receive an error: ""Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of GPT partition style."
From OS with Boot Camp I didn't manage to make a partition for Windows instead I made one with Disk Utility (formated FAT).
After booting from USB that partition was also formated into NTFS necessary for Windows. Still the same error.
Any idea how to install Windows on my MAC?My Windows copy is a X64.
MBP mid 2012 with Mountain Lion 10.8.3.
Model Identifier: MacBookPro9,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i5
Processor Speed: 2.5 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 2
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Boot ROM Version: MBP91.00D3.B08
SMC Version (system): 2.2f41
Should have:
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012)
MacBookPro9,2
MBP91.00D3.B08 (EFI 2.9)
If you are refering to this I tried to update the EFI version (I see only SMC version 2.9 as a diferrence of what I have) but on installing I received an error: "This software is not supported on your system." -
Installing Windows 7 in Boot Camp with iso
I have downloaded an .iso file with Windows 7 on but I can't install it in Boot Camp. I've tried several things with no luck.
1. For the first, when I start up Boot Camp assistant I can't choose to "Create a Windows 7 install disk". I only have the two bottom options, the one for downloading support software and the one for installing windows 7. So I can't use my .iso file there.
2. I tried to burn a bootable dvd with the .iso file. I burned it on a Windows PC since my superdrive won't burn on the discs I've got (DVD+R). The disc works properly on the Windows PC but when i mount it in my Macbook I only get a popup that says I've put in a blank disc and some options of what I wan't to do next.
3. I tried to make a bootable flash drive and that pops up in finder, but the Boot Camp assistant won't recognize it and says I have to put in a Windows 7 install disc.
4. I also tried to open the image file in disc utility, but the result is the same as if I'm trying with a flash drive.
I'm out of ideas now so it would be nice if someone else knew any other possibilites to install Windows 7 in Boot Camp.
Or maybe there is an solution for the things I've alleready tried?
I'm using a MacBook Pro late 2008Does it boot off the internal?
Is the external a full copy of your working system?> whew! then you can always wipe it clean and start over.
As long as the partition was created properly.... though 50GB can work it can also be slim fit in the end.
Under the worst condition - and the Mini is one of the worst, too - two minutes maybe to restart.
External because there never was an internal DVD player?
zap pram.
did you buy DVD or burn DVD? if burned, then that is likely cultprit Redo at slowest burn speed (2x) with verify.
Heck, even Windows 7 SP1 has been implicated on some were pre-SP1 worked.
For a test, there is Windows 8 RP for free. And Parallels 7 will set up a VM for you with the whole download and inistall. Not everyone needs to run natively. -
Troubleshooting Guide To Boot Camp 2.1
Troubleshooting Guide To Boot Camp 2.1
With a Mac Book Pro Os X Leopard and Windows XP Pro. I am providing this guide because I spent literally days fixing various problems most related to bad drivers. If I can save you the Nightmare I had it will be worth my time to write this guide for you!
Install Windows XP on FAT32
While using Mac if you ONLY want to be able to read XP files (NTFS or FAT32) then skip this section because OS X Leopard is able to correctly detect NTFS and FAT32 disks in READ ONLY mode.
However if you want to be able to read & write XP files (NTFS or FAT32) in Mac then you would install a program like Paragon NTFS or NTFS-3G. However once you do this you will experience this Problem:
Windows partition missing from Mac 'startup disk' menu when using NTFS-3G or Paragon NTFS in Mac (Bootcamp 2.1 fails to fails to show windows disk in startup menu after installing NTFS-3G or Paragon NTFS)
It is unclear who is to blame for this bug. Both Paragon and NTFS-3G DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX the problem so the finger is pointed at this being an Apple Boot Camp bug! Don't hold your breath for a bug fix from Apple because I saw people have been having this problem for several years. It would be nice if the Apple cared a bit more about the Windows people they are trying to win over but anyway we are greatful for Boot Camp (even if it is as buggy as ****).
First my personal experience, I had it working perfectly before and after loading NTFS-3G onto my Macbook. I also had it working perfectly with Paragon NTFS. Then after a few months I reinstalled XP. Suddenly it no longer worked! Very fustrating when you KNOW it can work perfectly. It took me several days to figure out that this due to the fact that I had first installed XP and formated as FAT32 but the second time had installed XP and formated as NTFS!!
ONLY KNOWN Solution for this problem :
Format XP using FAT32. Apple understands FAT32 and everything will work as normal!
Do not format using NTFS as Apple does not understand it and XP will be missing from the 'startup disk' menu!
NTFS users can use this work around solution :
Install Paragon NTFS and use Paragon to set your boot partition and then reboot.
The least desirable solution :
Hold the ALT key down while booting and choose XP.
Install Boot Camp version 2.1
Using the the disc that comes with your Apple Mac Book Pro.
After Installation update the following drivers to these versions or newer :
Broadcom 802.11 Wireless (5.10.91.8) (4321AG) (*)
Realtek HD Audio R2.27 (5.10.0.5874) (2009-06-16)
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT v185.85 (07.05.2009) (v6.14.11.8585)
Note (*)
Broadcom 802.11 Wireless drivers must be force installed to 4321AG. You can do this after installation by using the device manager and updating the driver to 4321AG. These drivers are 'borrowed' from another Broadcom 802.11 Wireless device since an update for the BCM 4328 drivers are not available from Apple or Broadcom.
Unresolved Issue
Back lighting of keyboard is not working in XP. Apple Bug?
Problems Fixed By Doing These Updates
Bootcamp KbdMgr.exe Latency Problems Slowing Your XP
I could not fix this problem but found an easy work around.
First check if your latency is being affected by the 'KbdMgr.exe' driver. Use 'DPC Latency Checker'. If the latency is green then you are OK! Skip Adead. If your latency is red then kill the 'KbdMgr.exe' in the task manager and check the latency. If it drops then this work around applies to you.
Open the Boot Camp directory in your Program Files directory. The real 'KbdMgr.exe' is renamed to something else like 'Boot Camp.exe' so that you can use it to boot back to Mac when you want to. Create a shortcut to the new name from from your desktop.
Then create an empty text file and give it the name 'KbdMgr.exe'. This will allow your PC to boot normally and run normally but will prevent Boot Camp loading automatically.
Wireless Problems
The Broadcom 802.11 Wireless drivers for the (BCM 4328) are unstable and often loose connection or freeze or stop working for no reason. The driver that causes this problem is version 4.170.25.12 (20/09/2007) BCMWL5.SYS
Sound Problems
The Broadcom 802.11 Wireless drivers (BCM 4328) drivers cause sound problems. Music or sound stutters or slows on playback. The driver that causes this problem is version 4.170.25.12 (20/09/2007) BCMWL5.SYS.
Apple Touch Pad Problems
The drivers supplied on the Boot Camp disc from Apple work but do not install correctly for some unknown reason but the drivers do work once you get them installed. The driver install files are :
AppleMultiTouchTrackPad.exe
AppleTrackpad.exe
Your Apple Touch Pad Drivers are working when Device Manager shows :
Apple MultiTouch
Apple Multitouch Mouse
And you can do a right click by holding two fingers on the touch pad and doing a click
You can scroll up and down using two fingers. Adjust the wheel scrolling speed to one line at a time under mouse properties in the control panel.
To install the drivers correctly use the Device Manager and look under Human Interface Devices. You should find two Apple 'Touchpad' drivers listed with a (Yellow !) change these drivers to use the 'USB Human Interface Device' driver. Then install both 'Apple MultiTouch TrackPad' and 'Apple Trackpad'. This should automatically update the 'USB Human Interface Devices' to the correct working Apple drivers. This worked for me. However if you are still having problems you can try the General Driver Installation Tips.
General Driver Installation Tips
Uninstall all devices drivers that are failing and reboot.
Make sure all non-Apple drivers are working properly. If not try and fix them first. I had a Logitech Mouse driver that was not working and suddenly when I fixed that at least half my Apple drivers started working. There was probably a resource conflict or some other relationship between the Logitech driver and the Apple Drivers.
If any driver is giving errors delete the physical driver file and reinstall! This is very useful when nothing you seem to do works. Sometimes you must physically delete the old driver file so that windows will correctly install the new one. I don't know the technical reasons for this only I found that this worked for me when I had to replace a Logitech Mouse driver after hours of fustration.
If you are busy in Device Manager and working with 'Human Interface Devices' and accidentally uninstall one of these drivers which are related to your mouse driver your mouse will stop working. Don't reboot, just unplug your mouse and plug it in again and Windows will autodetect a new mouse driver for you.
If you have been messing around and installing many drivers and your drivers still fail then try roll back the drivers until you can't anymore and then try one of the above methods again.
--------------------------------------------------------------------It does work, but I think it is hard based on scant details as to why or what is preventing BC 2.1 from updating. I will say that BC 2.1 came out last spring and there were lots of people having trouble and threads to prove it (and long ones).
You should have Apple Software Update Control Panel which had to update itself to 2.1.1 in order to receive future updates that way (catch 22 if you can't, seems to be only to prevent older owners using BootCamp 1.4 Beta from taking advantage of BootCamp 2.x).
Mac OS X DVD now being sold has 10.5.4 and BootCamp 2.1. I assume your DVD of Leopard is older?

Can't install Win 7 from USB with Boot Camp - please help
Hi,
I'm going crazy trying to install Win 7 from a USB using Boot Camp.
I've got a 13" MacBook (Aluminum) with 6GB RAM (trying to get to 8GB, but that's a different issue), 500GB HDD, running 10.7.4.
In the Boot Camp Assistant I want to partition 60GB for the Win 7 drive, but when I click install I get the error: "The installer disc could not be found. Insert your Windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for it to be recognized." However, the USB drive that I used Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool in Win XP to create is plugged in. I also have the .iso file on my Mac desktop.
Googling hasn't produced any solution that I can work - most seem to be using Boot Camp assistant 3.0, and I've got 4.0.3 running.
I'd appreciate help, particularly step-by-step instructions that I could follow.
Thanks in advance.Lion has been out and most threads here deal with 10.7. and BCA 4.0.x
There are problems with burning ISO to DVD etc at anything other than slowest burn speed (2x)
New 2012 models don't have an internal DVD but if you do, then yours does not support a USB-DVD.
So you are running XP now and have Windows XP partition? knowing that the update will need 40GB and that Lion does not support XP.
Look at the other posts I made this morning for some of the FAQ Boot Camp support links.
