Boot Camp, VIsta with SP1 x64 clean installed. Please help!

I clean-installed Vista Ultimate 64bit with SP1 (SP1 comes with Vista, not a separate download) on the latest macbook. As expected Boot Camp Application doesn't work (it doesn't even install).
1.I want to use the function keys (F1, F2, etc) for brightness and volume, which installation program should I run from the Leopard disk? I don't think I can find this "driver" online.
2.How can I get bluetooth on my macbook working? Which installation program should I run from the Leopard disk?
3.iSight camera. Is there a driver for iSight camera in 64bit Vista?
I see there's a "x64" folder in Leopard disk, under folder "drivers". Should I install everything in this folder? I haven't tried yet.
Thanks for help!

Hi Bjorne,
how did you manage to do a clean-install of Windows Vista with SP1 from a slipstreamed media? If I start my Macbook with the Vista SP1 DVD while holding down the "C" key, I will only see the following message:
1.
2.
Select CD-ROM Boot Type:
I can't go on any further, because hitting any key won't work.
The problem seems to the EFI bootloader on the Vista SP1 DVD which is compiled for 64-bit EFI environments (U-EFI 2.0)! The EFI environment used in Apple computers is based on version 1.10 and runs in 32-bit mode. I've found this information on the rEFIt homepage http://refit.sourceforge.net/info/vista.html and I've also found the homepage http://www.jowie.com/post/2008/02/Select-CD-ROM-Boot-Type--prompt-while-trying-t o-boot-from-Vista-x64-DVD-burnt-from-iso-file.aspx from Jowie who has the same problems. He has found out how to make the Vista SP1 DVD booting on an Apple computer by modifying the DVD image which seems to kill the EFI bootloader...
How did you manage to boot from an unmodified Vista SP1 DVD image?
Greetings,
OllieW

  • SLOW and SLUGGISH after clean install PLEASE HELP!

    My Macbook Pro started acting slugggish a few nights ago, and it seemed after a reboot that it ran better, but quickly slowed down.  I ran permissions, disk repair, reset the PRAM the SMC and etc... nothing helped.  I tried to do a Time Machine restore and after 10 hours of SLOW restoration (it still had 70 hours left) i decided to do a CLEAN INSTAL of Yosemite 10.10.
    Same thing, takes over 10 minutes to boot up and i click on something and the beach ball will spin for a minute.
    Disk Utility says everything is OK.... but even the internet is sluggish as if the entire machine is not processing the information fast enough.
    ANY HELP is greatly appreciated as this is on day 4.
    Thanks
    Steve

    CLEAN INSTALL took over 8 hours to complete, as if everything is running in slow mode.
    Also, i ran this app as i see most ask for it.
    Problem description:
    Clean Install - OS very sluggish and slow before and after clean install

  • Every time I boot, nether in OSX or windows I get a screen the same as the boot screen just with a buffering wheel. Please Help.

    Hello,
         I'm currently in mac recovery. I have a 21.5'' iMac (I think late 2011). I'm running OSX mountain lion and I think its kept up to date. Every time I boot, nether in OSX or windows I get a screen the same as the boot screen just with a buffering wheel (not the beachball one). This seems to go on for ever (at least 3 hours) ant will not boot. Booting in safe mode does not work and results in the same problem. As I said earlier I can get tom recovery mode. Thanks Oliver.
    I have on/for my machine:
    Mac OSX mountain lion
    Windows 7 Pro 64bit
    4GB of ram
    OSX 10 FULL backups (External 2TB drive)
    500GB HDD
    Please ask if you would like more Information.

    Hello, disconnect any external drives for now.
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • 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 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.

  • Boot Camp, Vista, Gear Head Bluetooth Keyboard & Mouse

    Just added a Gear Head bluetooth keyboard and mouse for Mac to my Mac Mini.
    This Mac Mini is running Boot Camp with Windows Vista Home Premium.
    The bluetooth keyboard and mouse work fine under Mac.
    When I boot to Vista, I was able to install the Mouse, but running the setup wizard for the keyboard does not work.
    When I run the bluetooth set up wizard for the keyboard, I get to the screen that lets me create or choose a passkey. I can do that, but when I go to the next screen, which is where you input the passkey on the keyboard, that screen only appears for about 2 seconds, and then errors. It does not give me the chance to type in the passkey.
    BTW, the mouse works fine when switching back and forth between Mac OS and Vista without resetting it.
    Any thoughts?

    You need the 64-bit version of Vista for one thing to use more than 1.9GB RAM.
    Most of the problems people have with SP1 update have been pre-existing 'dirty file system'
    To backup or clone Vista, I would use WinClone from OS X, or use Vista Businss/Ultimate before hand to backup files and system and make sure you have a good restore point before applying updates. Taht is one thing I would like to see Apple do, which MS updates often will.

  • IMac Extreme + Boot Camp + Vista SP 1

    Partitioned drive using boot camp and was able to successfully install Windows Vista w/ SP 1. System came up, inserted Leopard DVD to install drivers and ever since doing so, Windows will only boot into safe mode.
    Have not tried seeing if Fusion can read the partition successfully or not.
    Any ideas?

    Update on this....
    identical iMacs bought at the same time (when the debuted last year). Bootcamp install of Windows Vista w/ SP 1 works like a dream. Only change up from install directions (because of failure on other machine), was that post driver install, ran Apple updater and pulled down the boot camp updates. Worked with no issue..
    On second machine (which assumed identical) not so lucky. Machine would only boot into safe mode after driver install. After getting into safe mode, disabled the ATI drivers and left it boot (successfully) back to normal mode running the standard Microsoft video drivers.
    Download the ATI2600 drivers from ATI and installed. Video is back and golden, but without the dual monitor support that came with the Apple drivers.
    Does anyone know if its possible to extract just the ATI drivers off the Leopard DVD and give that another go? I would really like to have the dual monitor support capabilities that I had on the first machine (24" iMac Extreme with a 19" Viewsonic monitor). Only difference between the two systems is the external monitor.
    Thanks,

  • Boot Camp & Vista 64

    I've searched through these forums and have seen similar questions, but none have really been answered/helpful for my problem.
    I used Boot Camp to install Windows Vista Ultimate 64 on a partition of my Mac hard drive. Vista installs without any hitches. I used my Mac OS X discs to install Boot Camp drivers, however, I got the "boot camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model". I used the information from this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7301717 to get the x64 Boot Camp drivers and updates, and installed using the "Run as Administrator" trick from this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1758941&tstart=30
    Long story short, nothing is working properly. I go to device manager and it says the drivers aren't installed for iSight, network, bluetooth, etc. However, I do have the Boot Camp icon in the tray. How do I go about getting Vista to work properly?
    Note: I had Windows XP running on Parallels perfectly. I also have tried a 32-bit version on Boot Camp and encountered the same problem.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Sorry for the length, I just want to do a thorough job in leaving info. Here's some more info...
    Under Device Manger >> Other Devices I have... Built-in iSight, Coprocessor, Ethernet Controller, Network Controller, and SM Bus Controller. All have the yellow exclamation mark and "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)" under Driver status.
    Sound is not working either (even though it says Realtek High Definition Audio is working properly).
    My Vista partition doesn't show up in OS X's System Preferences >> Startup Disk. MacBook always seems to boot up to Vista even though I set the Mac HD as the default startup disk.
    Lastly, under Control Panel >> Programs >> Programs and Features I have 11 "Windows Driver Package - Apple Inc. Apple <insert device name here>" each taking up 552 MB, which doesn't seem normal.

  • Boot Camp bug with new Mac Mini?

    OK, so I have used Boot Camp now for years, on a variety of Mac platforms, and I have always been able to set it up and run Windows, including Windows 7 64 bit.  That is, until I purchased my new Mac Mini i7 (non server version) with the WD 750GB internal, with 8GB ram.  As the new models no longer offer a built in SuperDrive, I purchased a Pioneer external Blu-ray drive and have it connected via FireWire 800.
    I have a brand new retail Windows 7 64 bit installation disc and have downloaded and burned the Windows 7 drivers to a CD.
    I followed the instructions implicitly, but always hang on the reboot that should go into Boot Camp and begin the Window 7 install. Instead, I get the dreaded "Boot disc not found. Please insert a bootable disc and press any key" error, from which there appears to be no return.
    Anyone have any ideas or is this just a known bug?

    This same message was displayed in my MacBook Pro yesterday when I partitioned the HDD, however in my case I hit the "Quit & Install Later" Option as I planned to install win 7 later. When I rebooted my Mac to my surprise it had defaulted to my DVD drive and could not find the disc (obviously, since I wasn't planning to install it). I remember that in SL this issue was not present. Ultimately, I had to hit the option key to boot back into OSX Lion and reset my Macintosh HD as my start up disk via system prefs.
    As for your case I would suggest hitting the "option" key during start up and see if your Mac can recognize your Windows 7 disc. If it recognized select it with the keyboard arrow keys and when it is selected hit the "return" key. Then the Win 7 DVD should boot and then follow the instructions of the Windows 7 Installer.
    My suggestion is to fill a bug report to Apple via their feedback section:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    As far as I know Bootcamp 4.0 is extremely buggy, yet I do think that OSX Lion overall is a very stable and snappy OS, I noticed that my system performance has not been that much impacted by it very much. My boot times went up by 3-4 seconds longer than SL and shutdown times went up by 1 sec only, as for app launch time they have remained the same. Hopefully further updates to OSX lion will address these and other issues.
    Good Luck!

  • Why won't Boot Camp work with 17" MBP??

    Hey guys, I saw a thread earlier yesterday about this and didn't think much of it, however now that I'm trying to install the boot camp driver disk once windows is installed I keep getting that "this software is not compatible with this hardware" message and the drivers won't install!! Does anyone know a workaround on this yet? I hope apple addresses this soon because I need to get at some windows files soon. Has anyone found a solution to why the driver disk that boot camp makes won't install when you're on windows? Thanks.

    I would assume because those drivers are made specifically for the 15'' MBP.
    I believe it uses drivers for the trackpad, etc....which are probably different on the 17''.
    Lastly, I would assume that while boot camp is awesome, it might not be on the top of apple's priority list. Problems with "new released 17'' MBP's" are probably higher on the totem pole.

  • 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

  • Upgrading Hard Drive, How do I bring my boot camp setup with me?

    Hi Christian,
    depending on the file system that you use with your BootCamp Windows, two possibilities:
