Boot Camp Wifi Not Working; Windows Vista 32 Bit

Hey, alright, I got this huge problem. I installed Windows Vista 32-Bit edition on Boot Camp 2.0. I installed the drivers on my Leopard CD. For some reason I can connect to the net on the Leopard side (which I am using right now) and I just can't get a connection on the Windows side. So remember I did install the drivers on the Leopard disc. Also, when I go to device support on Vista, the drivers have yellow triangles beside them. I tried to hook the ethernet cable up and it still won't have an internet connection. I do have the Macbook Pro Aluminum model (newest one) so can someone please help me and tell me what I am doing wrong? Maybe you can tell me a driver I can download to get this working? Thanks!

Boot Camp will not support Vista on newer iMacs, you will need to upgrade to Windows 7. Also as an FYI there is a Boot Camp forum, you can locate it by clicking Apple Support Communities and then in the search field type Boot Camp.
Best of luck,
Roger

  • Will Boot Camp in leopard work with 64 bit Windows Vista Ultimate?

    I installed Boot Camp beta in Tiger. Then I installed the 64 bit version of windows Vista Ultimate. Many drivers were not installed such as the keyboard mapping driver. I bought Leopard. Should the version of Boot Camp in Leopard work with the 64 bit Windows Vista Ultimate or would I probably encounter the same driver problems? Should I delete the Windows partition before upgrading to Leopard and then install the 32 bit version of Windows Vista Ultimate for all the drivers to work properly?
    Please advise what to do.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    Hi,
    since the 'new' BootCamp 2.0 also only includes Driver support for the 32-bit Windows versions, you will get a 2nd Encounter.
    Is there a specific reason for you to use the 64-bit versions, apart from maybe the 4GB RAM 'issue' ?
    Installing the 32-bit version and then the Drivers from the OSX DVD should give you all the drivers needed.
    Regards

  • 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 detect windows anymore

    hello
    i have an iMac, osx Lion, i was using boot camp for windows xp, the cmd button did not work for some time and since i had to access some info on osx and was fed up with pushing over and over again the cmd on start, i went to windows control panel and changed the default opt on startup on osx.
    after that the only option remained was osx lion, nothing shows windows partition anymore except the space on disk that is used but cannot be accessed. I would really need to access that, i have lots of stuff there i also use windows on mac for playing a game which sadly does not work on osx (League of legends). I tried using cmd+r, nothing happened. I am very sad and dissapointed, please someone help me.
    with best regards,
    me

  • Boot camp will not install windows 7?

    I have a 2009 MacBook Pro with Intel Core 2 Duo; OS X 10.9.1, 750 Gb HD, Optical Drive: MatshitaDVD-R
    Boot Camp support version 5.1.5640
    I can not get Boot Camp to install Windows 7. It will create a partition, but gives me a
    “1...2...Select CD-ROM Boot Type“ error and freezes up when attempting to install from Windows install disk in optical drive..
    I created a windows7 iso file and installed that on a usb stick, but Boot Camp will not recognize that either.
    Is there any way to actually use Boot Camp and Windows on this computer?

    Is your Windows 7 cd a full retail version?
    You are using the wrong Windows Support software. Look for your computer here: Look for your computer here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
    If your computer came with an optical drive you can not use a usb stick to install Windows.

  • After 10.8.3 update, Boot Camp Assistant not recognizing my 64-bit Windows 8 disc

    Hello all,
    Yesterday I got back from spring break and found out there was a new update to ML (10.8.3). After reading a bit, I found out that the new update supported Windows 8 via Bootcamp, so I uninstalled the old Windows 8 I ages ago via Boot Camp Assistant, and updated my OS to 10.8.3. Then, after attempting to install Windows 8 via Boot Camp Assistant, now it rejects my legit copy of Windows 8 Pro 64-bit, with a message saying, "Need 64-bit Windows 8"
    A few months after Windows 8 came out, I read up an online guide to install Windows 8 without Apple's official support and it WORKED just fine. I just wanted to reinstall using the official support this time, and see what I get. Haha.
    Please help me if you have a solution to this. (No way buying another copy of Windows 8)
    Thanks.

    Had this problem too, found a solution.
    1) Download the 64bit Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/jj554510.aspx)
    2) Go through the Boot Camp process, selecting the downloaded .iso as your image.
    3) As soon as your computer restarts, hold the option key. Boot back into OSX.
    4) Go through the boot camp process again, BUT only ticking the first two options (in other words, don't touch the partition) selecting your original Windows 8 copy as your image.
    5) Reboot while pressing the option key, select the (in my case) USB.
    6) Proceed as normal - worked for me.

  • Boot Camp Assistant Not Working - Mountain Lion, Windows 8

    Ok, so I'm trying to dual boot my computer with Mountain Lion and Windows 8. I already have Mountain Lion downloaded, and I have the ISO file for Windows 8 (because I'm a collge student, and our college has a partnership with Microsoft). The problem I'm having is when I lanch Boot Camp Assistant, it takes me through a page or 2. Then it has 2 boxes as options to check ( 1. Download the latest Windows support software from Apple; 2. Install or remove Windows 7), but I can't select the 2nd option... When I select the first, I download the support software, and then it tells me to quit boot camp. So I do, and when I open it back up, it attempts to repeat the same actions.
    What is going on?!?!?!?!

    The ISO is on your hard drives.
    download a free iso burning program for Mac (we used SimplyBurns Mac). That program runs you through the necessary steps to properly burn the iso file you need. After doing so, Bootcamp recognized the installation file and everything worked as it should.

  • 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.

  • Boot camp will not recognize windows 7 dvd

    I have a brand new out of the box version of Windows 7 that I am trying to install on my MacBook Pro via bootcamp.  It took me quite a while to get the HD partitioned but that is now done.  I insert the DVD to install windows and it seems the drive never recognizes it.  I get the following error:
    The installer disc could not be found. Insert your windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for the disc to be recognized.
    I have tried to insert the DVD at different times to see if it will be recognized, to no avail.  I have tried to hold the option button during boot up to see if I could install it that way, but it does not show the partitioned drive when I do that. 
    This is not a burned .iso dvd, this is an original Microsoft DVD.  I have tried both the 32 bit and 64 bit with the same results.  between trying to get the HD partitioned and this I have spent a full 24hrs trying to accomplish this task without success. 
    Im running 10.5.8
    2.4 Ghz Dual Core
    8GB DDR3
    Over 100 gigs of free space
    I partitioned the HD with 35 gigs of free space. 

    You need 3.1 or better yet the drivers from Lion and Boot Camp 4.0
    BC 2.x was only for Vista and XP
    You don't actually "run" Boot Camp 2.x as much as partition with the Assistant, and install motherboard support drivers to Windows.
    "I am USING Boot Camp 2.x"
    You're running Windows -- natively.

  • Tried Everything - Boot Camp will NOT work!

    Hello everyone, for about the past 7 days, I have tried installing boot camp on my macbook pro late 2011. My MBP Has an hdd in the optical drive bay, and a hybrid drive in the hdd bay. Recently, after the failure to install boot camp the first few times, I bought an enclosure for my optical drive. I have a copy of windows online in iso format, so everything should be working, but, it has not. I have tried using a bootable usb flash drive, with SEVERAL different ones, to no avail. I have made boot camp look as if I had a MBA, to no avail. I have burned a bootable iso to a blank cd, to no avail. NOTHING HAS WORKED. I have waited around 32 hours of work in 7 days to post onto this website, thinking I can do it myself, but  I simply cannot. When I did the bootable usb drive method, I got a please insert the bootable disk, and then press any key. And then when I did the bootable blank dvd with a bootable iso on it, all my mbp would do is blink that cursor thingy on the black screen. EVERY single usb drive was taken out for the computer. The only things plugged in were my charger, and the external optical drive bay. Please help me with any useful info, as it would help me so much.
    P.s. I have also used Wine/Crossover. I am ONLY doing this so I can game windows games on Steam. It is the sole and only reason for this venture. Crossover did not have enough support for the games I wanted to play, and would crash often, and Wine will not work with some of the newer games, with very little support/incentive from developers. Please if I have done something wrong by trying to use these, or maybe I'm just not using them right, please tell me.
    If anyone has any other solutions to windows games played on a mac through steam, please tell me, It would mean a lot.
    This has been a very frustarating adventure, and I really would love to get this resolved. Whoever gives the advice that ends up working, will get best answer. Thanks!

    If you had done any google searches for installing Windows on your model Mac computer you might of found out that Windows will ONLY INSTALL from the BUILT IN DVD drive when it is installed INSIDE the system. So since you have replaced that drive with a hard drive there is absolutely NO WAY to install Windows on your Mac. It will not install from a USB key, It will not install from an external DVD drive, it will not install from any other source other than the built in DVD drive when that drive is installed INSIDE the system.

  • Does Boot Camp 5 not support Windows 8 Gestures?

    I just did a fresh install of Windows 8 on a late 2011 MacBook pro. Does this updated version of Boot Camp not support the trackpad gestures?
    I've spent a lot of time on Google but everything that I am finding is from 2012 with references to people trying to get Windows 8 working in Boot Camp 4.
    Thanks!

    Thank you for the clear and concise answer mende1.
    That is great that someone has created 3rd party drivers but that won't be a solution in my environment. I support several Macs in a very large corporate environment and we were wanting to run Windows 8 with full official support from Apple on these devices.
    The way I see it, Boot Camp 5 does not officially support Windows 8 until they support this basic functionality. I cannot provide support in this environment to a 3rd party driver solution. I'll be sure to provide feedback to Apple.
    Thanks again!

  • Boot camp assistant not working correctly...

    I'm trying to install Windows 7 using boot camp and everything goes fine and dandy, it partitions and then shuts down and restarts and goes to the installing windows screen and freezes about a tenth of the way through. I'm wondering if it's the drive I'm using or if anyone has any suggestions? Being that I'm running on a Macbook Air, I just bought an LG GP10 external CD/DVD drive. I've tried plugging it in a number of different ways and so far no luck. By that I mean it's one of those drives that needs external power, but it gets the power from two USB drives. When I'm running on my Mac it works fine taking the power from one USB, but for some reason it starts to get weird when it goes to try and install Windows. I don't have two USB ports next to each other and the Y cable it comes with is very short, meant for two USBs next to each other. I also have a Belkin USB hub that I tried using a number of different ways but so far nothing is working... it's very frustrating and I'm just looking for any suggestions anyone might be able to offer. Is it possible power management is the problem? If you need more information or my description wasn't sufficient (I know it's confusing!) just ask, I'll be stalking this forum until I figure this out.

    With the BCA 3.0 the Driver Download never worked except for MacBook Airs.
    The Boot Driver version 3.0 are located on your OSX Snow Leopard Install DVD.
    Boot into Windoes and insert that DVD. Usually the Driver Setup starts automatically.
    After that you can use the downloaded Driver Packages 3.1 and 3.2 and install them while in Windows (these are .exe files - only executable in Windows).
    Hope it helps

  • Boot Camp will not work after installing recovery disk

    I purchased a refurbished Macbook Pro 2012. I went ahead and installed dual ssds and used the Mac OS X recovery disk from USB flash drive. I wanted to install WIndows 7 through bootcamp. Bootcamp will not start after selecting continue. I'm not sure if boot camp is corrupted or something I did wrong.

    Well you'll need to see if that remote app has an update or if it is compatible with IOS 7.
    since you didn't state which remote app your using.

  • Boot camp assistant not downloading windows support software

    I am trying to obtain the latest windows support software from Apple using Boot Camp Assistant 4.0.1 (429) on my iMac. The progress bar goes about 20% across, then stops moving. I've tried several times and I've give it as long as several hours to move further, but it's stuck.I need the updated drivers because my Apple Magic Trackpad has stopped working in Windows 7 under boot camp and I'm hoping that updating the drivers will fix it.
    I have the latest version of firmware.
