Windows 7 freezes after first restart. Any ideas?

Hello, I've been trynig to dual boot my MacBook pro 13" mid 2010 model (1TB SSHD, 8gb RAM, everything else stock). I set up boot camp (had to download the update software manually to a separate drive). When boot camp boots up from my Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit disc, it starts running the installer. I've formatted the hard drive and the installation starts. Everything works fine and the system reboots to complete the installation. At around 70% of the progress the system freezes. My display freezes and the mouse doesn't move. I've removed USB connections and started over and that didn't do the trick. I've deleted the partition and re-made it and that didn't do it either.
Any insight would be great. Thank you.

The Apple Bootcamp implementation uses a Hybrid MBR, which has a limit of 4 partitions. OSX utilities use GPT, while Windows uses MBR scheme.
When you installed you-know-what, it removed the Hybrid MBR and put the entire disk into a Protective MBR as your fdisk shows.
Option 1.
1. Backup your Windows partition to an external disk using OSX side. You may not be able to use it again.
2. Please backup your Mavericks side via Time Machine.
3. Please remove you-know-what from your system, and the corresponding GPT partitions.
4. Erase your disk, and re-store from 2 and re-install Windows.
Option 2.
1. Backup your Windows partition to an external disk using Winclone. You may not be able to use it again.
2. Please backup your Mavericks side via Time Machine.
3. Please remove you-know-what from your system, and the corresponding GPT partitions.
4. Erase your disk, and re-store from 2 and re-install Windows via Winclone.
Option 3.
1. Backup your Windows partition to an external disk using OSX side. You may not be able to use it again.
2. Please backup your Mavericks side via Time Machine.
3. Please remove you-know-what from your system, and the corresponding GPT partitions.
4. Create a new Hybrid MBR, with appropriate information and bring up Windows, using Startup Repair, if necessary.
Option 4.
1. Backup your Windows partition to an external disk using OSX side. You may not be able to use it again.
2. Please backup your Mavericks side via Time Machine.
3. Create a new Hybrid MBR (different from Option 3), with appropriate information and bring up Windows, using Startup Repair, if necessary.

Windows On Mac: BootCamp Freezes While Partitioning HDD

Hi everyone,
I wanted to partition my 3tb hard drive in the second bay to have windows on it. I obviously did this using boot camp. I followed the steps as I had done it before and ended up partitioning 101gb for Windows. The progress bar went very quickly until about 1/3 of the way and just stopped. The animation is still there, but the bar itself it not moving at all. It has been almost 3 hours. So i just quit from bootcamp and repaired the hard drive. Then i got back my hard drive space.
Please help me to fix this problem. How can i sort this out?

Help! Bootcamp issue after partition

Can anyone help me out. I have my bootcamp working normally, than in order to get more space, i have used the disk utility to partition my mac HD one more time. Than i rebooted it to the bootcamp and used Mini Tool Partition Wizard Home Edition to expand the bootcamp HD. It worked perfectly but when i went back to the Mac HD to partition one more time ( i calculated wrong the amount of space i need back there) i noticed that i the bootcamp space in the disk utility did not increased, in fact it changed its name to DISK0S4 and i cant start my mac as a windows. Can anyone help me out.
PS: Sorry for my english, i'm Brazilian.

Bootcamp disappeared after partitioning

I've seen plenty of threads around here regarding this issue but they're impossible to follow at least for me... Can someone point me to the right track? I'm losing hope here...

Hi,
Well My experience with Bootcamp is one installation for a family member and no further work n it.
I wanted to get more info from you, it helps those members that do know to understand the problem.
Hopefully now you have explained it someone will know the answer.
A few thoughts.
Did you have a backup of your data on the Windows partition?
Have you a backup of your OSX system and data, if not do that now why you still have access in case you lose that partition.?
Partitioning a drive with Bootcamp I understand is different than a plain OS X drive.
You may require some form of recovery software if you cannot just start over with the installation.
Post your problem in the Bootcamp forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp
With the details in your last post.
Hope you get a good resolution
Regards

Bootcamp Assistant Stalls on restart after partitioning

Ok so i had some problems with my windows install and i wanted to update to Mountain Lion. I wiped my entire hard drive, deleted all the partitions, and started fresh with one partition. I got Mountain Lion installed perfectly. Heres where the problem starts. I started with editing the plist to make bootcamp allow USB install. (im running an Imac 2007). The Superdrive only works when it wants to and its easier just to not use it at all. I then opened bootcamp assistant and checked all three boxes (created usb disk, download support drivers, and install windows 7). I used my handy .iso of my win7 x64 disk and bootcamp created my usb disk, downloaded the support drivers then asked me how big to make my partition. i choose the size and clicked continue. Bootcamp partitioned my drive just fine and then restarted. And then my computer sticks at the apple logo (with no spinning wheel). i let it sit over night and no difference. so i just powered off and when i powered on i get the *no boot disk -- insert bootable disk and press any key*. The USB flash drive is in the computer but its not showing up after a restart and holding alt. i can boot into OS X just fine but not get windows to install. The bootcamp partition shows up on my OSX desktop with no files. Also the USB disk shows up named WININSTALL with the install files and support drivers on it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Is your external DVD drive an Apple drive, or a third party drive? I Not all third party drives provide full boot support in their hardware, so that could be the cause of your problem. Since you have a MacBook Air, it should support booting from a USB stick with your Windows installer on it. You might try that.

Bootcamp 'Glowing' windows logo freeze after gfx driver install

Bootcamp 'Glowing' windows logo freeze after gfx driver install
Last week suddenly, after having changed or installed nothing, trying to boot into windows resulted in a frozen glowy window logo 'Starting Windows', which resulted in having to format the windows partition.
Since then I've found out that I can do everything except install gfx drivers.
I've installed firefox, all bootcamp drivers except gfx, swtor (doesn't run of course, but installs fine), quicktime, rebooting is fine after all this...
But as soon as I install any kind of graphics driver and reboot, it freezes at the glowy window logo.
I have tried;
The bootcamp included gfx driver
Windows Update included gfx driver
Official nVidia latest beta driver
Official nVidia latest whql driver
Official nVidia oldest whql driver
nVidia Cuda driver, both versions
All give the same result
I have formatted the entire harddrive and written zeros and made the windows partition in a physically different location to make sure it's not a harddrive issue, no luck.
I have tried both Windows 7 x86 and x64 with matching drivers, same results.
Tried booting with no devices attached, no luck.
This all seems to me like a bust gfx card, were it not that under Lion everything works fine, even gaming (WoW).
Techtool Pro's test machine shows no errors.
My machine is a;

I am running Lion on a Mac Mini Server wherein I placed a Bootcamp partition and installed Windows 7 Ultimate. I've been testing Windows Media Center using a CableCard Tuner installed in a SiliconDust HomeRun box.
All was well until I received a Windows notification of an NVIDIA driver update. After the update, I now freeze at the same point that you do in the Windows startup splash screen.
I rolled back the driver using the Windows control panel associated with the device. Still freezes.
Windows repair does not have a fix. I can't get windows to start in "safe mode" so I can remove the additional apps that NVIDIA installed during the update.
I'm certain the freeze is associated with the NVIDIA driver.

Bootcamp Windows 7 Disappeared after partition resize

Hello guys,
I have a Mid 2013 Macbook Pro 15 and just recently I installed windows 7 using Bootcamp. After a few days I decided to resize my Windows partition.
So, I used Disk Utility to shrink my OSX partition. Then I restarted my laptop in Windows 7 and used a third-party software to add the available space that I just created to my Windows partition. After finishing the operation and restarting my computer in Windows everything was fine. (The disk has been resized and no files were missing whatsoever). Few hours later I wanted to use my OSX, so I restarted my laptop in OSX again and BOOM. Bootcamp disappeared. When I was opening "Startup Disk" nothing was there, like it has been completely removed.
I've done a little research but I couldn't get any results with terminal commands and stuff like that.
So what I did is this,
I restarted my computed holding the options "alt" key and got into the Startup Manager.
There were 3 Drives
1. Macintosh HD
2. Recovery 10.8
3. Windows
I clicked windows and successfully managed to get into my Windows 7. No files were missing everything was working perfectly.
After restarting to OSX again still everything was missing!
So the problem seems to be that Windows are still there and working properly but BOOTCAMP and Windows have disappeared and going in Startup Manager is the only way to access them.
I hope I helped someone with the same problem.
Any ideas or solutions are welcome.

Restart your mac in Safe Mode by holding down the 'shift' key while it powers up. You'll know if you've entered Safe Mode correctly if you see a progress bar underneath the grey Apple logo screen. Let go of the shift key when you see that, wait for the progess bar to complete then log in.
After log in, go to
 > System Preferences... Users & Groups and remove everything from the 'Login Items' tab.
If you have any anti-virus software installed (Sophos, F-Secure, VirusBarrier, Mackeeper) uninstall it while in Safe Mode.
Restart your mac normally and test.
Any improvement?

I think there's some remmants left over from when Apple transferred stuff over. We can try a quick fix, but if that doesn't work, I think the only option is to clean install OSX and then install Windows.
open disk utility, confirm that you only have 1 partition (mac journaled)
restart and PRAM reset
open disk utility and repair permissions twice
restart boot camp assistant
Does it work?
If not, I would boot holding command+R, choose disk utility from the menu and completely erase your HD (formatting it as mac journaled again). Then, install OSX on this HD. Once OSX is installed, don't copy your files over from the backup yet. Instead, start boot camp assistant and see if you can get Windows installed. You can copy back your other files after we get Windows installed.

Trackpad freezes after restart and update

after every update i have done on my macbook pro (less than 6 moths old) after the restart it lets me enter my password then when i start using it the trackpad completely freezes with the arrow disapearing and randomly appearing again, the only way to get out of this is to power off and on again, any ideas why this keeps happening?

Well, I went through remvoval and moving in single user mode of everything I could think of that may cause the issue, then gave up.
The only solution I found that works perfectly requires another Mac and an extra empty drive.
You will have all your data, and a new clean Maverick install.
Plan on it taking about 10 hours.
Boot the problem mac in target mode (press t).
Connect the problem mac to a good 'booted' mac (firewire if possible).
Connect the extra drive to the good mac.
Download carbon copy clolner, and backup the problem mac to the extra drive.
Once done, try to boot the good Mac to the external drive (restart hold option), just to make sure its good... or actually, bad and sticks at the same place.
Disconnect the bad mac and restart, holding option.
Select the recovery drive.
Open disk utility.
Select the drive and erase.
Quit disk utility.
Run Reinstall Maverick selection (you have to be connected to the internet). You'll have to login with your apple id.
Install Maverick.It may do a start and stop as it realizes it needs to be a clean install.
When it installx, and you get to the language screen, click through.
When it asks about transferring, then plug in the external dirve (the clone).
Select Transfer from another Mac.
Select the external drive, migrate all check boxes and wait.
Once completed with the migration, you'll have a Maverick OS on your old Mac.
What a pain. I can only assume that someone at Apple clocked their nap time as recursive testing hours. I guess Apple needs to install security cameras in its testing labs :-)

Look in Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) and see if you have any runaway processes using a lot of %CPU.
I would also strongly recommend running Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode. If it reports errors you can Google them or post them here.
