BOOTCAMP fails to install Windows XP SP2

I ran the assistant, partitioned ok, but running the Windows XP disk that used to work with the public beta versions of bootcamp fails to install after rebooting: [in windows style] "disk error...press any key to restart" All I can do is shut down the mac and reboot in Mac OS.
Anyone?

Not to sound stuffy - but you would do better posting this in the BootCamp forum.
It's not an unusual problem and others have posted ways to fix it.

  • Failed to install Windows Vista SP2 on iMac

    I was trying to install Windows Vista on my iMac. In fact, I have successfully installed before but I deleted it because something wrong with it. However, the second time I installed was failed (Stuck at "Completing Installation") I tried 4 times and they were all the same. But the weirdest thing was I could install Windows Vista through Parallels Desktop. (but can't install it through boot camp)
    I just thought of one problem
    -I plugged in an external hard disk
    Would it be the problem?
    Is there any method that can solve this problem?

    Hi,
    I just thought of one problem
    -I plugged in an external hard disk
    Would it be the problem?
    It is most likely the cause of your problem.
    During installation of Vista (and personally I do this with OSX system upgrades as well) it is advisable to disconnect all non-essential external devices, leaving only mouse, keyboard and, if neccessary, display connected.
    SO, disconnected your external HD, use the BootCamp Assistant to revert the partitioning back to a single-OSX volume and start again.
    After reverting back you should restart your Mac.
    Hope it helps

    Is there any method that can solve this problem?

    You need to upgrade to Leopard (10.5) in order to use BootCamp.

  • Server 2012 (not R2) RODC fails to install Windows Updates

    Good morning all
    Since around October, our 80-odd 2012 (non-R2) RODCs have been failing to install windows updates, rolling them back on reboot. Patches that don't require a reboot are fine. The short version is, please log a call with MS and reference this thread, if you're
    having this issue as currently they're saying they won't fix this!!
    Our product support group opened an official case and reported this with Microsoft and they've found the cause. PLEASE NOTE however, that this relates to RODC and ALL patches failing, not just 3000061 on non-RODC.
    There was some chat relevant to this as originally it was thought KB3000061 was to blame, and a few other people had had the same issue there (see links at the bottom). I think however, that this issue now stands alone as any patch we try to install will
    fail.

    000113 [gle=0x80004005]
    Cause:
    The installer uses SAM API calls to manage the group. It always connects to the local SAM instance. The component also handles an uninstall task in the same function. On uninstall the group is being deleted.
    So the SAM handle is requested with "Create Group" and "Delete" access.
    The error happens because a RODC does not allow any changes and thus returns STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED.
    More information about the prevent from accidental deletion feature please refer :
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773347(v=WS.10).aspx
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc739350(v=WS.10).aspx
    Recommendation:
    This is a Bug in the RODC running on server 2012, However you may do an in place upgrade to Server 2012 R2 and then proceed with the installation of the patch.
    The bad news is this is fixed in 2012 R2 with a hotfix - but it isn't fixed in 2012 and it won't be because.. they've only had one official report logged. And that was by us. So, if you want this fixed, you need to start logging this with MS now.
    What I can say just now is that this isn't related to the registry fixes with WinEVT we've all been trying, it's NOT limited to 2008 that has been upgraded in place to 2012 (our product support group replicated it in the lab with a brand new 2012 promoted
    to RODC) and it IS only happening with RODC. Possible fix might be to make your RODC RW for a bit and install your patches then.

    The error indicates that IIS is returning a "404 not found" error back to the Windows Update Agent.  That might mean that you need to specify the correct port that WSUS is listening on, e.g.:

    Second
    When I boot It will only show the first DVD Drive in the chain if I unplug it, the other shows ok. Any Ideas?
    Thirdly
    My IDE Already has Windows XP and boots ok and will see the SATA drive so I know its working (I ran LIve Update 3 to ensure the bios was upto date)
    So when I try to install windows xp SP2 (Slip Streamed CD) on to the sata drive (Unplugged the IDE HDD) I prerss f6 and use the Floopy that comes with it. When its ready during loading it asks what driver to use - 2003 / XP / 2000 / NT 4
    So Select WINXP and it then goes to Windows Starting up and then says it can't find any mass storage. Press f3 to quit.
    Tried updating the drivers on the floppy and that doesn't work
    Any Ideas guys.
    Hope I have included enough info.
    TIA
    Kev

    Guys,
    OK Worked out my first problem I was using a Windows XP sp2 CD Created with nLite, and I think it had the raid drivers removed and thus wouldn't see the SATA Drive, well using a normal XP SP1 CD Its sees it.
    So thats sorted
    Cheers For your Help,

  • Bootcamp only saying "install windows 7" , also not working with install disks

    i want to install windows 8.1
    as u can see bootcamp only says "install windows 7"
    i think that i can't do a usb drive install without deleting everything off the only usb stick i have, right?
    so i have an install disc instead, like u used to be able to do
    should it be working with a disc?
    i have a copy of windows 7 as well, so i even tried to install 7 off a disc and this is the message i get when i have either the 8.1 or 7 disc in the drive and i click "continue"
    i also figured it would give me the option of how space to allocate before it asked for the install disk

    For Macs with built-in Optical drive, you need the Windows installer on a DVD. What year/model is the Mac? (The option to create USB Installer is missing which is also a clue).
    The Windows DVD is identified as 'legitimate'. From Boot Camp 5.1: Frequently asked questions - Apple Support
    Which versions of Windows work with Boot Camp 5.1?
    Boot Camp 5.1 supports 64-bit, non-Enterprise versions of Windows 7, Windows 8.0, and Windows 8.1. This version of Boot Camp doesn't support Windows XP, Windows Vista, or any 32-bit version of Windows. Depending on your Mac, you may be able to use an earlier version of Boot Camp to work with other versions of Windows. For details, see the Boot Camp system requirements for Microsoft Windows.

  • Failing to install windows 8.1/7/ any kind of windows on my imac,seeking help foreal

    Hey there. It's going to be a long post since I've messed with it for 4 days, and still no success even in the time I'm currently writing this message - the furthest I got is having tons of crashes and black screens. And now I can't even reclaim my lost harddrive space (resizing partitions doesn't work anymore).
    I'll start with that I already tried to make Bootcamp work about a year ago, but then quit it out of no success and reverted all the changes. But this time my situation is different - I'm pretty sure something messed up in the middle and now I'm seeking help and answers to my questions. And here we go - one bright day I decided to install Windows 8.1 as a secondary boot system on my iMac for personal reasons. I went and added Bootcamp's ability to make a bootable USB on my mac by changing the plist file, and finally had the option to do so. Then got an ISO of Windows 8.1's installation, burned it to a DVD with disk utility (on the lowest speed) and here's already where my problems started. The disk failed to burn for some unknown reason, even though when I compared the contents it had the exactly same thing in both the ISO and the DVD. Weird isn't it? I still tried to boot it - and guess what? the DVD booted but it had the non-EFI interface (huge and pixelated). Anyway when I pressed next I had some weird driver errors, so I decided to use an USB instead (1 DVD wasted so far). I used Bootcamp to create a bootable USB with drivers and went to boot it. The USB booted perfectly fine under the name "EFI Boot" and then I reached the partitions screen.. Obviously I had weird errors again (GPT/MBR stuff). One tutorial on the web suggested creating a partition for the windows rather than using the Bootcamp pre-made one. I followed it by booting my main system, and using disk utility to delete the Bootcamp partition. Later on I booted again to the installation and created a new partition from the partitions screen. Windows created two partitions - a Microsoft reserved partition, and the secondary partition which is used for the windows files. After some time the windows finally booted for the first time. It took pretty long but went smooth - until it finally booted. Since here the problems returned - the Windows crashed every 5 minutes from a driver error (that's AFTER I installed the Apple drivers right after the system finished booting), I googled it and followed various tuts but it still wasn't fixed. I decided to quit using 8 since I liked 7 more anyway (I currently have it installed as a virtual system in Parallels), so I decided to install 7 instead of 8 since I never had any issues with it. Booted up my main system again - went to Bootcamp Assistant, USB creation. ISO file + drivers on the USB. I reboot. Holding ALT and... my mac can't even see the USB drive! Luckily I had 4 more installations (various ISOs) of Win 7, so I decided to try them. I tried ALL the Installations I in none of them my mac could see the USB drive (I wonder how my USB survived all this rewriting on it...) Again to Google we go. I researched a bit and realized that I'm missing a file called xboot64.efi in the "efi/boot" folder, which can be taken from windows. I tried extracting it from install.wim but none of my archiving apps could open it (I tried Unarchiver, Keka, 7zX, terminal's unrar command and more, none could!). I also realized my Win 8 installation had this file so I added it to the Win 7 USB. Now my mac could see the USB in the boot screen - and it booted. I saw the "loading files" screen, and after one minute of it... black screen. I waited 10 minutes. Then 30. An hour. Still a pure black screen. I thought something is wrong with my file, and read that this file is also found in an already installed Win 7, so I went to parallels and took it from here, then added it to my installation. Again my mac could see the USB, but still no luck. When I pressed enter to boot from it, nothing happened as if the boot screen was stuck - the drive was selected but it didn't do anything. I waited long time again and decided to stop waiting. I tried to burn another DVD, this time with Titanium Toast. Again the DVD failed to burn, and when I checked the content, it was the same as the ISO I tried to burn from (official ISO from Microsoft of Windows 7 Ultimate SP1). I went and booted it - this time I saw again "Windows" and "EFI Boot"in the boot screen, both with a disc icon. "EFI Boot" didn't load like the usb previously (loads forever), so I booted the "Windows" thing. The setup loaded, and finally I could see the installation window. Reached the partitions screen... and here the problems returned once again. An error along the lines of that Windows can't be installed on a GPT partition. Some tuts on YouTube and in Google suggested to simply format the problematic partition. And so I did - yet the problem wasn't fixed. After messing with all that for one more day - trying different installations, ways to boot the USB and DVDs, formatting the Windows partition etc, I decided it's time to stop messing with it since luck definitely isn't in my side when it comes to Bootcamp (and for the record, I never had any issues with OSX, but when I tried adding windows to it.. eh, you can guess.) I booted back to my normal system, and went to disk utility to delete the partitions. The Windows partition was deleted easily, but the Microsoft reserved one.. not so quite. (by the way when I boot into it I get a Win 8.1 error screen that tells me to repair the system, since I formatted the Win partition itself). Until this very moment I still can't delete the reserved partition and return my beloved 30gb that I lost because of the resizing (I can't resize my Mac HD partition).
    I'm really desperate now. I tried everything and the furthest I got is getting a broken Windows 8.1 (which I deleted later), destroying 5 DVDs, shortening the lifespan of my USB drive, and googling errors the whole day for 4 days in a row. And now I can't even return my lost 30gb even after I decided to quit it. Please help or suggest me what to do, whether it's about how to successfully install Win 7 or to return my lost gigabytes, any kind of help is appreciated. If you managed to read so far, thank you for reading my post and I hope you'll be able to assist me and get me out of this situation.

    Read the Boot Camp Help first. Boot Camp does not yet support Windows 8.1 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/system-requirements. If you insist on installing 8.1 use a virtual machine like parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox.

  • No luck installing Windows XP SP2 on Macbook hal.dll error

    1. I partitioned 45GB with Boot Camp Assistant.
    2. Loaded Win XP SP2 CD and started installation.
    3. Formatted BOOTCAMP partition on NTFS Quick (Also tried NTFS normal [slow])
    4. After it copies everything to the drive and reboots I get a hal.dll missing/corrupt error.
    I have tried repartitioning dozens of times and have tried 3 different Windows CDs
    Thanks for your help

    Startup from the windows CD,
    delete the 200MB sized partition and the Bootcamp partition.
    Then make a new NTFS partition from the new space and install XP.
    It's the 200MB partition that has something to do with boot record, Bootcamp does not recognize it's own partition as bootpartition!
    Good luck installing windows!

  • Lion Bootcamp won't install Windows 7 Professional

    I have a fresh install of Lion on my iMac and have been trying to install Windows 7 Professional using Bootcamp 4.0.  Here's what I've done.
    1) Loaded bootcamp and followed the instructions to partition the drive.  Split the 500GB drive so the Mac would have approximately 300GB and Win7 would have 200GB.  Then bootcamp asked me to insert my Win7 disk which I did and click "Install now".  I did so and it rebooted.  Upon rebooting my iMac says "No bootable device.  Insert boot disk and press any key".  However, the Win7 install disk is already in the drive.
    After reading on forums I've tried the following but still to no avail.
    2) I reboot the computer while holding down the "C" key.  Occassionally when I do this the Installation will start and I make it to the Windows activation screen where it asks where I want to install the OS.  I select "advanced" and go ahead and select "format" the Bootcamp drive and it takes about 10 seconds to format.  Then I proceed with the install.  It comes to the screen where it says "Expanding Windows Activated Files" and it shows a 0% and just hangs there.  On one occasion when I was in the beginning stages of the install program it stopped and asked me to insert a disk to install a driver for the disk drive.  From what I can tell it's like the mac isn't finding and reading the DVD files properly.  And sometimes it works for a while and but after a bit it just craps out.  Before Lion I had Snow Lepoard and using Bootcamp 3.2 i was able to install Win7 with no problems.
    3) One last thing.  So after messing with Lion I became frustrated and thought I'm just going to go back to SL.  So I pulled out my SL disk and went ahead and did a full SL install.  However, when I went into Bootcamp (v3.2 or whatever version comes with SL) it would not allow me to partition my Hard drive. Some error comes up and I can't remember exactly what the error said.  But after doing more research on the web I found the problem.  It's that Lion installs another hidden partition on my drive which I can't seem to remove.  Even when I used disk utilities and formatted the drive before installing SL the hidden Lion recovery partition is still there.  So now I can't seem to go back to a clean install of SL to get bootcamp and Win7 working again.
    Any help here is much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Steven

    Does fdisk work? Something like 'sudo fdisk -a hfs'? Or maybe 'fdisk -i' first. You see, I'm guessing here.
    If you get the unmount error: would 'umount -Af' from USB work? You probably tried that already.
    If this all fails, the next step _I_ would take, would be plugging the disk into a Linux box nearby and check the disk there.

  • Mac OSX recovery after failing to install Windows?

    Here's the story.
    1) I install the bootcamp assistant and create a 10GB partition.
    2) I burn the drivers CD and click 'install windows'.
    3) The install fails a couple of times.
    4) Finally I'm asked on what partition I want to install Windows.
    5) There is only one choice, which bothers me, but I don't want to start all over again so I take the risk. I also choose the Fast NTFS Formatting.
    6) The Setup continues, then it says: 'this part of the setup has been completed. press any key'.
    7) The screen goes black for a very long time.
    8) I reboot a couple of times. The setup wants to start again from scratch.
    9) Fed up I reboot and press option to use OSX to delete the partition.
    10) A white screen and a cursor appear, yet no options.
    11) When I insert the OSX boot disk, I get an error: "no bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key".
    It stays this way.
    - Have I really deleted everything on my HD?
    - Is there a way to recover what I have lost?
    - If not, how can I format my whole HD and delete the partitions as well?

  • How do I get bootcamp back after installing windows 8?

    Hi,
    I have to admit, I messed up .. big time  :-(
    I had a nice working setup with OS X and Windows 7 and bootcamp.
    Then I got a disc with windows 8. I installed it, and forgot to use my head!!
    It was NOT a windows 8 update dics, so it installed windows 8, disgarding my windows 7 installation.
    On top of that I had to delete most of the windows.old folder to get room for new instalaltions of the tools I need in windows 8.
    But then I found out that bootcamp was not installed because there was no speaker sound on netflix and eventhough it could recognise that I had inserted a head set ..there was no sound. I couldn't use the FN key no more, bluetooth was dead and I couldn't switch back to my OS X because there was no bootcamp application to help me change back and I can't see the OS X partiion in windows 8.
    On top of that, I can't find my !"¤!#"!!" OS X installation discs. Been looking for 2 days now and I'm getting desperate.
    Is there anyone out there who can help me getting my bootcamp back on my windows 8 making me able to switch back to OS X and to get drivers installed for all my nice macbook pro devices in Windows 8 ??

    The option key is not the command key. Hold Option, Command won't do what you want.
    Press it when you hear the chime (not before) release it when you see the Boot Manager.

  • BOOTCAMP error while installing Windows 7

    I am attempting to use BOOT CAMP to install Windows 7 and I keep getting this error message.
    The USB drive connected to this Mac contains a bootable volume. In order to install Windows 7 from the DVD, the Boot Camp Assistant needs to disable this functionality. No information on the drive will be removed. Do you want to continue?   When I hit continue I get this "Your disk could not be partitioned" An error occurred while partitioning the disk.    HELP please.  I have a brand new MAC PRO bought in DEC.  and I am using a brand new USB port.

    Please erase your USB Flash drive, and use Bootcamp Assistant to build a USB with the Windows ISO and BC drivers. Use a USB2 flash drive, not a USB3 one. It will not work with Windows.

  • Bootcamp hangs when installing Windows 7 on Macbook Air

    I purchased a new Macbook air less than 1 month ago. 256GB SSD drive, maximum RAM. It's running OS X Lion (10.7.1). I plugged in a USB DVD drive, keyboard, and mouse.
    When trying to install Windows 7 64-bit Bootcamp Assistant creates the partition, creates the windows driver disk, then reboots to install windows from my retail version of Windows 7 Home Premium (DVD.) It hangs with the progress bar about 10% of the way across. The message "windows is loading files" is displayed. I waited a full 45 minutes but nothing changed. Help!

    Look at your SSD. See if there is an issue, firmware update, etc.
    not all SSDs work - some work in one OS and not the other, the Mac 2011s have been known to have issues with their SATA3 cable interface and chipset.
    Apple and Intel and others have all issued fimrware updates.
    In some cases people have just sent back their MBP because they were such problem, and that just running Mac OS, not even Windows.

    I have an upgraded late 2007 iMac (7,1).  I've upgraded the HDD to a 3TB drive.  Using Boot Camp Assistant, I've partitioned the HDD to 57GB for the windows installation.  Then using a windows  installation disk, I've tried to install windows 7.   The start up runs fine, and it recognizes to BootCamp Partition.   But when I try and format it to NTFS (which according to Disk Utility it already is), I get an error stating that windows cannot install on what appears to be a GPT drive.  Hmmm, is there something I'm missing.  I've using Bootcamp 4.0.3   Do I need to roll back (if that's possible) to an earlier version of Bootcamp Assistant and use Windows XP. I don't need 7.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.
    TIA

    A. There are problems with 3TB drives
    B. Is there another drive present in your iMac
    C. My best gueess: you would have had to reduce the 3TB down to under 2.2TB first, and leave 800GB as free, and then set aside a partition for Windows

  • Failed to install Windows 7/8/8.1 on Retina pro Late2013

    As the title mentioned , I cannot install those version of windows on the newest retina pro
    I can access the installation stage, and seems like everything is ok, but after windows copied all the files, one new window came out and showed: Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed. and the installation end here.
    everyone got the same issue here ?

    I'm having the same issue.
    Late 2013 Macbook Pro/Haswell/15in/2.6Ghz/16GB RAM/1TB SSD/Mavericks.
    Tried to install Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 with original full version (non-upgrade) ISOs from Microsoft MSDN via Bootcamp Assistant & USB.
    Install always dies at the very end with "Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed".
    Called Apple Care, who had me reset the entire computer via Internet Recovery, change Partition 1 from GPT to MBR, then back to GPT, recover, and try again. Still the same error.
