Target Disc Mode and only showing the windows partition:

Hi, two weeks ago I purchased Aperture 2 for my MacBook Pro, and during the install, it stated that the install had failed and then froze. I did a hard-shutdown, and when I attempted to boot it back up, it kept trying to boot in Windows-- (It is running Bootcamp Beta/ it's a first generation MBP.) Windows wouldn't even boot up. Repair disc failed, as did numerous other courses of action. Apple advised me of TDM and we verified holding "T" that it would boot up in such. I then decided it was time to acquire a new desktop, which is how I get the Mac Pro. So I'm desperately trying to salvage the data from my MBP, but when booting up in TDM, only the Windows partition appears in Finder...any ideas? It's like the Mac partition has disappeared, as it only appears in the disc profiler thingy that you may access with the OS X disc in the optical drive.
Thanks in advance.

Try using Disk Warrior.
Pull the drive and put it in FW case.

Boot Camp doesn't install the drivers. You have the drivers on a separate USB device if you followed directions. Once in Windows connect the USB drive with the driver software. It should startup automatically and install the drivers.
You don't even need to do that. As downloading the drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant can be unreliable, it is better to get the package directly from here:

Copy the .zip file to a USB flash drive or burn it to a DVD in OS X. Install Windows as normal, insert the flash drive/DVD in Windows, copy the .zip file to the hard drive, extract it, then run the setup executable.

Boot camp not working in windows installer

When I install windows 7 I get to the select partition section. I get a message after selecting the right one saying "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the setup log files for more information." Not sure what to do from here. Anyone have advice?

Boot camp assistant, delete/remove windows
Restart machine and do a pram reset
Open disk utility, repair permissions twice and confirm that you only have 1 partition on your drive
Restart bca, check all 3 items (create, DL, install)

Boot camp not working on windows

I've successfully installed windows 7 on the imac and have been using windows 7 for a while. But just today when i decided to go back to Mac I realised I can just start up in windows.
I clicked the boot camp in the system tray on the taskbar, and tried to open the boot camp control panel, an error poped up saying I have to have admin privileges to change the startup disk.
So i run windows on an admin account by activating the hidden admin account, and still the problem presists.
I tried holding Alt while starting up but only the disk with windows was shown, and just one disk, the one with mac was missing. Also i have tried to change the starting disk using the command line found in the support in this website but still no change.
Any help is appricated!

On the disk Management I tried to set the disk with the OSX partition as active and restarted, and ended up having Missing Operating System error.
Fortunately I managed to solve that problem but still I am unable to switch back to Mac.
Help is needed and much appreciated

Boot Camp Not Working From Windows Control Panel

Hi,
When I click on the 'Boot Camp' icon in the Windows Control Panel I get the usual warning from UAC. When I select 'Allow' I get an error message along the lines that "I don't have permission to access the startup disk" & the app will not run.
I have tried running it as administrator but the result is the same.
Does anyone know how to rectify this so that I can get this utility working correctly again?
Thanks

It is difficult to understand your issue from your discription. I have three suggestions.
1. Visit the Boot Camp forum. You posted in the Mac Book Pro forum about your Boot Camp issue. The Boot Camp gurus hang out in the Boot Camp form. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp
2. Read the Boot Camp installation guide. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf
3. Do not post personal information such as phone numbers in public forums.

From Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems
Requirements for all Windows installations
In order to install Microsoft Windows using Boot Camp, you need the following:
An Internet connection
An administrator account in OS X to use Boot Camp Assistant
The keyboard and mouse or trackpad that came with your Mac (If they aren’t available, use a USB keyboard and mouse)
A minimum of 2 GB of RAM, 30 GB of free disk space are recommended if you are installing Windows for the first time, or 40 GB of free disk space if you are upgrading from a previous version of Windows
An authentic Microsoft Windows full install disc or ISO file
A built-in optical drive, or a compatible external optical drive is required if you are using an install disc
8 GB USB storage device, or external drive formatted as MS-DOS (FAT) to install the downloaded drivers

Boot Camp error: The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Jounraled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows.

Hi!
I am getting the error:
"The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Jounraled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows."
I read up some on google, but all of them says that they have crated a partition and that is the problem, I only have the standard "Macintosh HD".
I tried to create a partition manually in disk utility but then the error message: "Partition failed with error message: Could not unmount disk."
Can anyone help me? It's driving me crazy.
Thanks.

This message, and threads like yours got asked daily for over two years, now it is only a couple times a week!!
Is it so hard to follow through? you were to have backup already, clones are best, then erase/format and restore.
Then partition.
Some have been able to use Disk Utility booted from OS X DVD or another drive, and repair the drive.
You have to use Boot Camp Assistant (99.9% anyway) to create and achieve a proper Windows Master Boot Record partition.

I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows. I upgraded to Lion and somehow it crashes the mac side peridoically. I am told I need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the recovery drive. will that delete the windows partition too??

I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows. I upgraded to Lion and now the mac side crashes/freezes periodically, especially iphoto. I am told by the genius' that I probably need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the "recovery drive" which resets everything back to default and reinstalls the lion operating system. My question is will this also delete the "windows" partition drive and all that data too. If so that will be a huge pain in the ___ to back up and reinstall boot camp and windows. I want to shoot the lion.

There is no system like Acronis for the Mac platform. You can try using the buiilt in Disk Utility to create an Image of the complete Mac drive but I have found that this does not work very well as on tryiing to restore it gives errors sometimes.
You can use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable Clone of your system partition. But that is only for the System partition and not the complete drive.
If you use Boot Camp to install Windows on your Mac neither of those two programs will clone the Windows side.
Neither will Disk utility as Mac's can not create or write to a NTFS partition. So some other program is need for that.

HT3986 How do I install Boot Camp Control Panel on Windows?

So I recently installed Windows 7 (x64) Ultimate on my MacBook Pro (mid 2012).
There are no drivers, and no Boot Camp Control Panel installed with Windows. How do I install all of this?

In Boot Camp (OSX) download the Windows Support Software, then install it in Windows.

When I begin to attempt to download the windows support software in boot camp, it says the windows support software is unavailable. Is there any other place I can download it for a Macbook Pro 5,5 intel core 2 duo without the original CD?

Hi,
apart from the MacBook Air this feature is of no use for other Macs right now.
Simply ingnore it (click "I already have the Drivers...) and continue with the installation.
Sorry to say but you need the OSX Install DVD for the BootCamp Driver installation.
The 3.0 version of the BootCamp Drivers is only avaiable on the disc.
Later updates (3.1 and 3.2) can be downloaded from Apples Support website.
Call Apple and ask for a replacement and they usually send you one for a small fee.
And have the Serial-Number of your Mac at hand when calling.
And since the OSX Install DVD can also be vital for maintenance and repair it is best to have one.
The needed BootCamp Drivers are on the OSX Install DVD 1 that came with your Mac.
Insert that disc while in Windows after the Windows installation to install the drivers.
Regards
Stefan

While at boot camp assistant, Downloading the windows support software stalls

From a long time windows user, I was persuaded to migrate to mac and am quite lost. While using boot camp assistant, downloading the windows support software just stalls at 20%. I tried using alternative drives, USB, DVD and the partitioned HD of imac but still to no avail. What should I do?

No problem. For me, I spent the time downlaoding the drivers for Boot Camp 4.0 (form Lion), un-installed by Boot Camp 3.0 because it wouldn't upgrade, and then learned that Boot Camp 4.0 didn't support my old MacBok Pro. I had to go back and install 3.0, then update to 3.1, 3.2 and finally to 3.3. That took me about an hour and a half... Oh well, at least I already had most of those on disc ot downloaded...

Boot camp does not find Windows XP installer disc

Hi,
I am trying to install Windows XP on macbook pro. I have partitioned the hard drive and when I push "Start installation" boot camp says "The installer disc could not be found", though I see the icon on the desktop and can browse teh disc. I am logged in as an administrator and have an original Windows XP SP2 and earlier it worked fine on my laptop (I am reinstalling Windows)..
I tried several things suggested in forums (for example here
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1402467) and none helped..
1) I restarted while holding Option key or C key - did not help
2) I created an image of Windows XP installer and burnt a new disk - did not help
3) I repartitioned the hard drive several times, I restarted several times - did not help
I am so frustrated with this bug in boot camp.. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

you still have not clarified if you used BCDedit or repair the MBR
Whether you used an NTFS driver - that may be all you need - try the full functional demo Paragon NTFS for OS X, it is great at mounting PC NTFS volumes and cases.
http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/
There is no such thing as "boot camp" to detect Windows. Poor language. BCA partitions. Do you want to remove XP partition? that is the tool.
Boot Camp control panel in Windows that has a Startup Disk style feature.
But "boot camp" means zilch other than installing a set of drivers and the creatiion of a partition.
Of course Lion Recvovery only works with OS X, not XP. There is a hidden feature to show all partitions and their health but nothing more.
Backup everything and rebuild and restore.

Boot camp does not install windows 7 -

I have created a partition with bootcamp - on my 250GB SSD - and put the slider to 41 Gb; I have the USB with the drivers inserted and the windows 7 disk (dvd?) inserted. When the retort happens, the windows installer starts (from dvd).
First of all I see the partition is 98 Gb - way too much, leaves almost no room for the soft are disk.
Then the installation does not commence, the partition is MS-DOS (FAT) (I checked with disk utility) while the partition should be NTFS (as windows expects). I does not allow me to select this partition.
What should I do?
I have had a working partition before on my HD, now - after I upgraded my iMAC - I wanted to install bootcamp/windows on my SSD.
-> I know that I can delete the partition using Boot Camp Assistant. Then I am clean all over again. I hope.

When creating a partition, Bootcamp assistant wants to also to install windows. That does not work because the error is there that it expects an NTFS file - and I am not going to reformat the partition using windows :-(
Yes. Terribly sorry about that. I forgot that Boot Camp automatically goes into a setup sequence and boots to the Windows installation DVD. I never use Boot Camp when I want to create a Windows partition since I can do the same thing manually the way I want the drive to be.
NTFS isn't a file, it's a format. Like FAT32 or Mac OS Extended (HFS+). Boot Camp will always create a FAT32 partition (called an MS-DOS partition in Disk Utility). Once it boots to the Windows DVD on the restart, your first step is to format the drive you just created in Boot Camp as NTFS. Then continue on with the install.
What I should have written above as step two was to manually create a new partition with Disk Utility and format it as MS-DOS. Then you could have made it any size you wanted and gone right into restoring your Windows 7 backup with WinClone. Again, while not making the least bit of difference the partition was FAT32 rather than NTFS. Restoring your Win 7 backup would have made it NTFS when done.
Since most folks aren't all that handy doing things manually, or just plain don't know how, Apple tries to simplify the process with Boot Camp. But the only part of it you really need is to create the drivers flash drive or disk. After that you can do the whole thing yourself, which is what I do.
Anyway, once you did create the new partition with Boot Camp, you could have stopped the entire process and booted back into OS X. Then restored the WinClone backup to the FAT32 partition. That would saved you the time watching Windows 7 install when you're just going to completely replace that install anyway.
