Bootcamp can't detect window

When I am trying to use bootcamp to install windows XP SP2, the loader can't detect the installation disc or the splitted partition. But it worked in the same disc and mac for a long time ago.
I am using MAC OS 10.5 and bootcamp 2.0
Boot ROM Version: MBP31.0070.B07
Model Identifier: MacBookPro3,1
Any mistake I did wrong?
Thank you for your help!

  • If I use Bootcamp, can I get Windows viruses on my Mac?

    I am using Mac OS X 10.8.3. I am about to install Windows 7 on my iMac with Bootcamp. Can I get Windows virus on my Mac because of Bootcamp?

    If you do, it'll only affect the Windows partition of your hard drive.
    If you feel really worried, I'd suggest running Windows in a virtual machine using Parallels or similar. You can set things up so that there's no access to your Mac from the virtual machine and, if the VM gets a problem, you can just delete it.

  • Bootcamp can only open Windows 7 in Safe Mode

    I've been using Bootcamp to play my old computer games on my Macbook Pro for about two years now, and I've never had any issues before now. Last night, I bought a game from Origin and found that it was taking a lot longer to download than I had expected, so after about four hours I decided to go to bed. I changed my settings in Windows to make sure the computer would not sleep when I closed the lid, but later forgot that I had done this an ended up leaving the laptop slightly open all night while I slept. I turned the display and keyboard brightness all the way down. When I went to check on my download this morning, I found that the computer had shut down and brought me back to the Mac login. But ever since then I haven't been able to get back to Windows. Every time I select it in Bootcamp, I briefly see a Windows loading screen and then I am taken to a plain black screen where I can't do anything. I can open Windows with Safe Mode, but that doesn't really seem to be getting me anywhere.
    Can anyone tell me what might be wrong? Did I mess something up by leaving the computer open all night? Is there any way the display brightness might still be turned off and that's why I'm seeing a black screen (that seems like a bit of a dumb question, but I haven't been able to adjust the brightness levels during any of my attempts to start Windows, so I'm curious)?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  • Bootcamp don't detect windows 7.iso

    Hi all!
    I have few months ago a new macbook pro 13 inch 2011 with lion.
    Now I want to do a partition because that way I can play with games in windows 7.
    I have a original iso of windows 7 32 bits, and I make a booteable usb with windows 7 usb tool.
    But when I go to bootcamp and i try to install windows 7, he say that can't find a windows 7 CD...
    Also I try to start with option key, and I can see hard disk, and recovery disk, I go to hard disk and after I have the option to start from Macintosh HD with Lion or 2 options of windows, but if I try to start with one of this options, appear a black window saying that i need to insert a booteble cd and press any key....
    Please help me, I don't know what more to do!
    Thank you!

    Right Apple has made it so the only way to install Win 7 is to do it from the Optical drive and that optical drive has to be installed inside the system, not connected by USB. You will need to make a Win 7 DVD from that ISO file.

  • Can you install windows 8.1 on external hd with bootcamp ?

    is this possible ? can i have an external hd usb 3.0 running windows 8.1 instead of splitting my macbook hd to run windows side

    not 100% but don't believe bootcamp support that or even if windows itself does
    thing is that if the usb drivers are loaded later then the bootcamp come into play the bootcamp bootloader can't detect the hd

  • Can I install Windows 8.1 as Bootcamp partition from OSX Mountain Lion using a USB stick?

    I have the following:
    Bootable USB stick with Windows 8.1 - 64 bit
    MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion 10.8.5 - it's probably 3-4 years old.
    The Bootcamp partition currently has Windows 7 installed.
    I want to know whether I can install Windows 8.1 from a USB stick into a Bootcamp partition. Apple's article on the topic refers to Bootcamp 5.1, but my OSX install has Bootcamp 5.0 - I am assuming 5.1 comes with the Mavericks version.  I don't want to upgrade to Mavericks because I am running out of space as it is on the OSX partition.
    Thus my question. So can I?

    Your laptop has a DVD drive, right? If so you need to burn your ISO to a disc, will not work off USB

  • APPLE/DEVS Read this! Windows 7 CAN'T detect the iPhone 5s but iTunes CAN detect it! WEIRD, huh?!..

    just a summary...
    i have a iphone 3G which i have been using for a long time and now i got an iphone 5s.. troubleshooting this kind of stuff is not new to me from computers to smartphones.. the internet has a vast majority of information and all you need to do is type in the right "KEYWORD".. i'm that kind of guy that looks for the answer before i try to look on it on my own.. i'm a DIY kind of guy as long as there is an instruction on how to do it..
    now, back to the topic..
    so i was trying to copy some of my pictures on my iphone 5s to my PC for backup purposes and to see the quality of the images but the portable device doesn't show up unlike my iphone 3G which is f***ing WEIRD.. been tinkering with this over the past 5 days since i have nothing to do and testing the new features of this phone but to no avail.. searched all over the internet but still none..
    so last night, i was really determined since i can't sleep and also connected my iphone 3G to my PC while the iphone 5s is connected.. so here is what shows up on my devices and printers and device manager..
    i can totally see the pics on my iphone 3G but not on my iphone 5s.. totally amazing.. good job apple!
    the picture under devices shows my iphone 3G and the other 2 on unspecified is my iphone 5s.. the iPhone under there is being used as my source of internet since this is tethered so i can have access and post this in here so that APPLE will know how f***ed up their SOFTWARE is is..
    so i downloaded itunes a couple of times, and i can't remember how many already, i think 5 times or more and then uninstalled all apple softwares (itunes, apple application support, apple mobile device support and etc as long as there is apple in it) and then reinstalled itunes but still none..
    so i went on device manager removed my iphone 3G and the only one that would show there is the Apple Mobile Device USB driver under USB controllers..
    and then i uninstalled the driver, looked for the driver myself by just it doesn't show up in here where you are directed to look for the driver and oh im using 64 bit just so everyone knows and i already found out that my system is using the usbaapl64.sys file in windows>system32>drivers..
    so last night i installed, reinstalled itunes and then suddenly my drive D: was gone and i received an error or a "!" on my drive and my drive is not being detected.
    Error: windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damage. (code 19).
    i unstalled the driver in device manager and then scan hardware changes, updated the driver automatically and manually and it is saying that i have the latest hardware but i can't use my DVD drive with the error on it..
    so today i searched for that e-fing error and found this http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/code-19-error.htm
    "4. Uninstall Apple iTunes. While that may sound a little drastic, iTunes is the cause of enough Code 19 errors to make it into this troubleshooting.
    If removing iTunes works, you might try installing it again from scratch, which doesn't always reintroduce the problem. See How to Properly Reinstall a Software Program for general advice."
    so i then uninstalled my itunes, uninstalled my driver and then updated it and "walla!". i can see my DVD drive again. i am using iTunes64Setup v12.0.1.26 just so everyone knows and this setup can detect both my iphones and my iphone 5s is using the latest version which is iOS 8.1.2..
    after reinstallation of itunes my DVD drive can be seen and just  noticed how APPLE SOFTWARES are so ****** up.. CAUSING A LOT OF TROUBLE AND DAMAGES..
    so going back to the topic..
    i was able to find a way (AFTER HOW MANY HOURS of TROUBLESHOOTING) on how my iphone 5s was able to detect the portable device or should i say the images on my iphone 5s where the autoplay pops up and everything..
    so i went on device manager, uninstalled apple mobile device USB driver, disconnected my iphone 5s, UNLOCKED my iphone 5s, connected it to my PC, clicked on TRUST this PC, on my PC the sound for a USB being connected sounded, and at the bottom right, automatically installed the drivers and then the autoplay popped up with the matching PORTABLE DEVICES on COMPUTER where i can browse the internal storage and the pictures..
    so now i opened iTunes and BOOOM!
    iTunes doesn't detect my iphone 5s but i can browse on the images on my phone..
    so again i went to device manager, uninstalled the driver for apple iphone under portable devices, scanned for hardware changes, updated the driver manually by selecting drive C: so it would automatically find the correct drive..
    so now, my iphone can be detected by itunes but not on my COMPUTER.. see how ****** UP this is?!.. JEEEEEEEEEZ!!
    Now i finally found the SOLUTION on how to do this and vice versa.. UNTIL APPLE decides to FIX their SOFTWARE/DRIVER issues..
    if you want to scan or browse the images on your iphone 5s on your computer all you need to do is do this:
    [for those who don't know how to reach this part, here is a GUIDE on how to open this is: click on the device > click on update driver software > browse my computer for driver software > let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer]
    and then you will see the screen below
    click on MTP USB Device and then click on Next, after it finishes installing the drivers, your PC will automatically detect a new portable device but in order for you to access the images you need to go back on your phone, unlock it if it lock automatically and then click on "TRUST" and then you can now see the images..
    BUT the problem here is that your iPhone can't be detected on iTunes...
    now, if you want to go back to where your phone can be detected on itunes, just follow these steps:
    click on apple mobile device USB driver, click on Next and then wait for your computer to finish the installation and then you will hear the beeping sound. check your phone, unlock it, then click on "TRUST", and then go to iTunes and you will now see your iPhone there but not on your PC where you can browse for the images..
    SEE HOW THIS DRIVERS are so ****** up.. i wish i hadn't started using this ****** UP OS with all the BUGS and GLITCHES.. JEEEZ! and to think, these DEVICES are not CHEAP compared to Android devices on the market.. it's just because of how these people go with the trend that they purchase these kind of stuff and the only thing they use it for is calling or texting.. i, for once use this not for calling or texting but also for the apps that it has like the games, ebooks and etc when im bored..
    i HOPE the Apple DEVS read this and find the solution on the drivers which is so ****** UP and so LAME!!
    PS: i hope a lot of people who are having the same issue as what i had find this and help them with their concern even though this is not a permanent solution.. it is just a work around for folks that are looking for answers and solution.
    Have a Great Day Folks and it is the start of a New Year and want to contribute something even though i don't usually posts my work around.

  • I can't install Windows 8.1 on my Imac with Mavericks using Bootcamp. Why?

    I can't install Windows 8.1 on my Imac 27" with Mavericks using Bootcamp. Why? I first did all the software updates needed, downloaded the driver software to a 32Gb flash drive formatted as FAT32, fired up Bootcamp Assistant, inserted the Windows 8.1 Full version 64 bit installation DVD as requested, and got as far as partitioning (tried this at 82 Gb for the Windows partition), then the MAC rebooted but halted before getting to the login page. Then a black screen came up with the error message: 'non-system disk - Press any key to reboot'. I did this and nothing happened. I was forced to shut down forcibly then restart with my finger held down on the option key. Then a screen came up with two icons: the macintosh HD icon and the Windows DVD icon. I double-clicked on the Windows DVD icon and the MAC came up with another black screen and error message: 'CDBoot: Couldn't find BOOTMGR'. Had to shut down forcibly again and restart as before, this time ejecting the Windows DVD first. Then I repartitioned my MAC back to all OSX. What the **** do I do now? Applecare couldn't help me beyond this point. They said to contact Microsoft. I notice a lot of other MAC owners have had similar problems.
    Please help? tagjsmith.

  • Can I use windows 7 on my Mac mini 2.1 with bootcamp?

    I have a Mac Mini 2.1 running OS 10.5.8, and an unspecified version of bootcamp. Currently using Windows XP. I want to upgrade to Windows 7. Can I do this? If so, do I need 32 bit version or 64 bit version?

    Just a heads up, you don't need to run bootcamp to install windows on a Mac (if you want it to be the primary OS)
    I have a Core 2 Duo Mac mini running Win7 x64 without any issues. I will check which model it is later.
    It has 5 USB, FW 800, and displayport + mini displayport (if that helps identify the model)
