Bootcamp installation advice?

I have ordered a Mac Pro and intend to create a dual boot Windows XP / MAC OSX 10.5.2 when it arrives next week.
I plan to take the two existing SATA drives out of my G5 and replace the factory installed SATA in the Mac Pro, meaning that I won't have to go through the hassle of reinstalling all of my software and work.
However, I wanted to ask if using Bootcamp will mean that I have to format one of my existing drives so that it can create a partition?
Any other general advice would be appreciated - I have been through these forums and looked at the Mac help files, but it seems to be pot luck as to whether it works without a hiccup or not!
TIA

Your new Mac Pro may have a later build of OS X. The only issues are in using Migration Assistant. But that is another topic. One thing, you eventually need to format your drives to GUID from what they are now.
Keep the OEM for your boot drive. Try booting from your G5 system. Pick up a new drive to merge and migrate to.
You can install Windows on its own drive with BootCamp Assistant. Personally, I think you'll be better off with 64-bit Vista Ultimate -

You may find that you can do what you want using VMware Fusion to run XP.

USB ports not working in Windows-7 on MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013 after Bootcamp installation

1) INSTALLATION
Using Bootcamp (v. 5.1.1, OS X Mavericks) in combination with an original Microsoft installation DVD disc using an external optical CD/DVD drive. Note, the installation is NOT from an ISO image. In the Bootcamp setup window only the lower two of the three setup options are clicked, namely a) to download Windows-7 drivers to a USB stick, and b) to partition the harddrive and then to install Windows.
2) PROBLEM
After the initial Windows-7 installation no devices attached to the USB ports can be found under Windows-7. The ports are dead. Also the WLAN did not work, so no internet connection was possible.
3) CAUSE
The problem is caused when you use a USB 3.0 stick as destination for the Bootcamp driver downloads. It seems that Windows-7 cannot recognize the USB 3.0 stick properly during the Bootcamp/Windows installation process, thus failing to do perform a proper installation of the Windows-7 drivers.
4) SOLUTION
Use a USB 2.0 stick and everything will work perfectly.
Follow these steps in order:
1) Connect your external DVD drive to a USB port and insert the Windows installation disc
2) Start the Bootcamp utility
3) In Bootcamp, remove the failed Windows-7 installation and partition
4) In Bootcamp, redo the entire Bootcamp process, but this time using a USB 2.0 stick
5) Follow all further steps in Bootcamp and later in the Windows-7 installation process
6) At the end of the installation procedures you will be asked to confirm the installation of all Bootcamp/Windows drivers.
7) Bootcamp installs all the drivers and your Windows-7 installation will work perfectly.

Ok, where is this Intel driver? There is no such thing "program manager" so I am guessing you mean the Programs and features control panel, but on my machine that whole window is blank after a clean install. I still cannot get the USB ports to activate. Two fresh installs and several different USB sticks later and no luck. Should I just give up and go to Windows 8.1? I really need Windows 7 to work if at all possible. Other devices shows one USB controller without driver software so I suppose that's the culprit. There are other USB devices installed under the USB section of Device Manager, but they apparently have nothing to do with the USB ports themselves, just devices like the trackpad etc. I've spent two hours on this so far and it's getting out of control. Why doesn't this work with generic USB drivers?

Convert flash drive for Windows 8.1 bootcamp installation from mbr to gpt

Trying to run Windows 8.1 pro x64 on my mid 2010 15" macbook pro. Get stuck during bootcamp installation in Windows because my partition table isn't compatible (MBR but needs to be GPT). My hard drive seems to be Logical partitions/volume etc, while my flash drive was formatted into MBR seemingly by bootcamp, or otherwise not altered into the GPT like it maybe should have.
Generally followed this guide http://www.howtogeek.com/186907/how-to-install-windows-on-a-mac-with-boot-camp/
Steps I took:
Had to use terminal/Xcode to edit info.plist from bootcamp to allow flash drive installation through bootcamp on my mac (removed the "pre" method).
With all three bootcamp options selected, managed to partition the drive
When restarted, my computer had black screen with "no bootable device found".
Restarted again, holding alt/option
Flash drive was now available as one of two options (the other being my standard mac drive)
Windows Setup loaded. Selected language/imputed key/select version etc.
Here is the strange part, the division of the disk does not include "bootcamp" anywhere in the title (like it should according to the guide), and is about 10gb smaller than my partition (assume this is a normal result of windows installation/os files etc). When I try to format the partition, it says I can't, and explains that I can't use MBR, need to use GPT.
Attempted to rewrite disk with Shift F10 Diskpart, list disk, etc, but here it shows drive 0, 1, and 2, (rather than drive 0 partition 1,2,3,4, with 4 being my bootcamp I think). This seems to be a method for installing windows on a windows pc, and I didn't go through with it because I didn't want to loose my mac os yet.
I am not proficient with coding/terminal use, and don't know if there is an option to list partitions etc, so I'm stuck. I can backup my mac and potentially change my partition table etc, but I feel like restoring with time machine would then wipe my existing partition. Is there a workaround I could use? Is there a specific sequence of backups/restores that would work? I'm also okay with manually drag and dropping the files I want back onto a clean slate computer if necessary. Or would simply buying and burning a disc with windows save myself the hassle? Please advise.
Sorry for long question, wanted to get info out right away. Can include more if necessary. Thank you all for your time.

I input that into mac terminal while running os? And then you'd like me to post the results on this discussion board?
Yes. It also helps if there are any calculations to be done with disk sectors.
My optical drive works fine, but I moved to France and didn't bring any disks. Would it be easier and safer to just burn my windows iso onto a disc and run it through bootcamp that way? I'm thinking the answer is yes at this point.
Yes, if you have a built-in Optical drive, Bootcamp expects to boot from the Optical drive, because it sets the CSM-BIOS layer for Windows to boot from the Optical drive settings in the NVRAM.
I'm about to head out to celebrate a birthday, but I will post back here in about 14 hours.
Enjoy the party!
Do you recommend just buying a DVD and doing it that way? I could easily return my info.plist to normal, and as far as I know, my optical drive works fine. Seems simpler if it would work with my copies of osx and windows. What do you recommend?
The changes in info.plist enable creation of the USB, but do not influence the boot device pointer that BCA will set when switching to the Windows Installer. My recommendation is to get DVD writable media (DVD+R or equivalent) and burn the ISO to a physical DVD and use BCA to install windows using the BCA USB and DVD media.

Windows 7 on bootcamp installation problem

hi all,
i just had a new imac and was trying to install a windows home premium OEM 64 bit on bootcamp. installation is going fine until the completion stage where your suppose to set up winodws for first use, all it did is become a blank/ black screen and nothing happens. i waited for a long time until i decided to install it one more try. no luck. i tried to remove the partition and partitioned it again on bootcamp and had another go at installation, still no joy. have anyone had similar problems? i just prefered to install a windows natively instead of using parallels. can someone help me please? i would really appreciate it.

I made the mistake when setting up bootcamp by not formatting the partition during the windows setup.
So you could make sure you have partition on the mac side, and then when setting up i the windows side formattig the partition space before files are copied.

OSX Lion won't boot after Bootcamp installation interrupted

Hello, I started a Bootcamp installation on my OSX Lion Mac Pro. Once I realized that I could only use Windows 7, I had to hold off on the installation until I located my Windows 7 disk. I had set the Bootcamp partition size to 100 GB on a 500 GB Drive. Due to threatning weather, I shutdown the computer.
Now the OSX Lion does not boot! I have been reading much information on this topic to see about fixing the problem. I talked to Apple Support and so far it is still not working. I was able to boot using the recovery partition "Disk Utility -> First Aid -> Repair Disk". When I ran Repair Disk there were some errors reported and repaired, then OSX still not booting. I installed Lion on another drive using recovery and that works OK. I was hoping to install Lion on the original drive and still not disturb my data files like music, photos, etc. That volume with OSX is greyed out and does not mount. I am thinking that the GPT had been modified and since Windows was not installed on Bootcamp, there is no way to boot on the original drive /dev/disk2. I read about a backup GPT, so I am wondering if I can use the backup GPT to fix the boot problem.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
David

Thanks for the fast reply. Ill try this again. Did this the first time, but wouldn't boot again. I've since done a,fresh install of Lion, and it created the proper recovery partition. I didn't have this before, because I cloned my old drive, when I upgraded to an SSD drive. Didn't know about the recover partition. Ill try again, and see if I can get it to work.
Just need to figure out the driver situation, with my Nvidia Quadro Mac video. Not worth trying again, if I have to use default generic video drivers.

My MacBook Pro keyboard not working correctly after Win7 bootcamp installation. In OSx boot it keep Win keyboard. How can I have Mac keyboard in OS boot and Win keyboard in Win boot?

My MacBook Pro keyboard not working correctly after Win7 bootcamp installation.
Installation went well but when I boot either with OSx or Win it always keeps Windows keyboard.
How can I have Mac keyboard in OS boot and Win keyboard in Win boot?

Hi - I have the exact same model as your MacBook and had a few questions as mine is acting up. I upgraded the ram to 8gb (2x 4GB ram) and ever since then my computer has not been running as smoothly and the start up time is horrendous. Have you encountered this problem? And if so how did you fix? What would you advise me do?
I was thinking of reverting back to the original factory 4GB then rebooting the entire computer. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Windows 7 OEM parallels and Bootcamp, installation sequence?

So ive got a 2013 macbook air and planning on using the OEM licence to firstly create a bootcamp partition, and the having parallels run off the bootcamp partition. Now I understand I might have to go through the whole phone activation the second time. My question is ...what sequence should I use to activate.Should I activate parallels first after the installation of parallel tools or can I just activate bootcamp first????

Karim.Foad wrote:
Ok wow that's cleared a lot up ....I've been researching this for the last few days , and getting mixed views with some saying windows will count the virtual machine as a separate computer and they have all sorts if activation problems .But for the second activation , in parallels , the long digit phone activation should be sufficient ?? Because I really don't look forward to explaining everything to a Microsoft Representative
Over the phon haha!
This is why I originally suggested that you read the activation directions on the Parallels and Fusion sites. They address the issue of Windows thinking that the VM installation is a second installation of Windows when in fact it is not. This is because you are not installing Windows in Parallels you are only pointing to your single Bootcamp installation of Windows. This is an issue that has been addressed by the VM manufacturers.

BOOTCAMP INSTALLATION?

After partitioning and installation of Windows-XP, there are no Bootcamp utilities to go to the internet. I tried to update Bootcamp, but allways is the error that I should first install an older version of the program. Is there a solution for this problem?

The BootCamp Forum is here https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp
However, dis you insert your OSX Install DVD (the one that came with your Mac) after the Windows installation ?
The needed BootCamp Drivers are on that disc and the installation usually starts automatically after inserting it while in Windows.
The BootCamp Installation Guide can be found here http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

Bootcamp installer not working on XP 64bit

Hello, So I installed XP sp2 64bit and all went smooth, but my probelm is when I enter the Mac OS X installation dvd and run the bootcamp installer I get, bootcamp requiers you to have windows xp sp2 or windows vista error msg. I am running xp sp2 so why cant it install?

Boot Camp 3.0 Frequently asked questions
Apple Boot Camp Support
Apple never supported 64-bit XP and even said so.
You will find you can install some, XP doesn't have the "troubleshoot compatibility mode" in properties probably that came later?
you need to copy from DVD to a folder in Windows all the \Bootcamp and instead of using Apple Setup.exe find Bootcamp64.msi
Or exchange for something that works, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (not SP1 though) either retail or system builder ($99)

Yosemite 10.10.1 Bootcamp Installation Windows 8.1 from an ISO

Hello,
as in my topic described I am looking to install
Yosemite 10.10.1
Bootcamp Installation Windows 8.1 from an ISO
I am using an MBP early 2011 without DVD Drive - but I have 2 SSD Drives inside (500GB und 128GB)
I want to use the 128 GB Drive for the Bootcamp installation, as I need it for some specific Sports Software which is just available for Windows, which was already running on my factory delivered 250GB HDD Drive.
The Problem is that bootcamp does not tell me there is an option for a ISO installation like it should display on macs which will be manufactured without an super drive. And so i can not install the ISO to the bootcamp drive.
I have an USB Stick with 8GB and an 8.1 ISO disk.
I do not want to reinstall my dvd super drive.
Hope you can help me out with a description on how to do - I am quite technical so can do some tasks ;-)
Merry xmas
Oliver

Bootcamp installation using copied CD?

Hi,
I have a legitimate copy of Vista which I acquired through my University institution - the key is legitimate but the disc is a re-writable... I assume this bootcamp installation won't work? Weird because the cd contents are identical.......
Any way around this?

Sorry if I haven't made it clear:
My initial Bootcamp installation won't start because it can't find a genuine Windows Vista CD - So essentially im looking for any way around this problem.. I've partitioned the drive ok but when I come to install Vista it obviously doesn't like the CD..

Bootcamp Installer keeps spitting Win XP SP2 disk out

The Bootcamp Installer keeps ejecting my Win XP (Full edition) disk. If I hit "Continue" before it ejects, it seems to recognize the disk, but then it still ejects it upon system reboot during install. Any ideas?

I've been having the very same problem. I believe cats.comm, in this thread - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10889210&#10889210 - may have the answer. Just scroll on down to the penultimate comment.
I successfully installed Windows on my iMac some time ago, but decided to create a clean partition after some messy game installations. When I installed Windows the first time, I didn't have any USB devices plugged into my iMac other than my keyboard and mouse. The second (and failed) attempt led me to research the problem. All throughout my second attempt I've had a printer, USB dock station and my iPhone dock all connected, which could have caused the problem.
I have to stress I haven't tried unplugging everything yet, but it may be worth a shot. I'll be attempting it later on tonight.

Macbook Pro 2011, Swap SSID against Multidrive. Problems with Bootcamp Installation.

Hi guys,
Whilst waiting for the release of drivers for Bootcamp to update to Windows 8 I thought I just tell you about my expieriencw with an SSID Upgrade I just purchased from GRAVIS in Germany for my MBP 2011. 13 inch I7.
I had originally a 750 GB Drive in my MBP but as I am working wiht Photshop and a have to store a lot of Photos on my HD I was absolutly fond of an offer I found recently in the latest GRAVIS Germany Flyer. ( Gravis is one of the biggest Apple Retailer in Germany)
They offered to swap `HD against a 50 GB SSID and built in the original HD in the Slot of the internal Multidrive. The Multidrive gets build in into a external case.
Wow. Everything done, including clone of HD to SSID for 399 Euros.
I called them on the phone, talked it through with them and took the Macbook there for the change.
The plan was that they do copy just the MAC OS Parition and I do a fresh Bootcamp Installation myself as I plned to update to Windows 8 anyway and for this I wanted to have a fresh Window 7 Intallation on Bootcamp.
So far so good.
I picked up my Mackbook, rebuildet in the way discribed and wanted to install bootcamp at home.
Done it several times on my own, have never had a problem but this time I had no chance. The problem was that in the moment the Windows installation should start the mashine looks for the internal drive and goes into Notebook Nirvana and thats it. And there is no easy work around.
My husband ( software engineer) and me tried a whole evening without success. Took my Macbooc back the next morning to Gravis. They laughed...of course, they are experts and know better...ha..ha.... than they tried everything what I told them we tried the night before ourselfs and in the end after hours they swapped the HD against the Multidrive back , installed Bootcamp and Windows 7 and rebuild again.
Anyway, I had my Bootcamp back but I I was no way satisfied with this solution as I have to say I dont imagine ever time I want to reinstall my Bootcamp from now first driving to Gravis and get my Hardware swapped, install it and swapp it back. I was really disapinonted as I expect as a customer that a Apple retailer knows about problems which could occure when you swap hardware on a macbook and tells you about this problem BEFORE and of course have an aceptable solution for this problem or tell you not to do it when you have got or plan at any time a bootcamp installation on your mashine.
I was totaly frustrated and called the Apple support about it.
I just could not accept this because there are so many other devices wihtout an internal drive in the Apple produkt range that I was sure there must be another solution for this problem.
The guy in the hotline was very helpful, As expected he never heard about a problem like hits before but he went to the back office at once and talked the problem through.
He called me back about it a bit later. I did not try the solution which he sugested but I will do it next time. First at all he confirmed that its not possible for a Macbook Pro which gets delivered with an internal drive to install bootcamp from an external drive.
The Macbook Airs without internal drives getting delivered with a different version of bootcamp. As far as I undestood him you cant install this different Bootcampversion on your MBP.
This Bootcampversions have one more step in their installion routine and this is to create a bootable USB Stick within the installion from which than the MB starts when MY MBP was disappearing into the Nirvana because it could not find the internal drive.
The idea now is to go to an Apple shop with your Windows installation CD/ DVD, to ask a nice person there to allow you to use an MB Air and produce with this the bootable stick. And than go home and try it on your MBP.
Certainly not an easy solution and I dont even know if it would work but still better that rebuilding your Macbook for every new installion of Bootcamp.
Anybody ever tried this?
Maybe there are other possibilitie? Anybody found out something else?
Thought I let you know for the case anybody stumbles about the same problems after swapping his internal drive with a HD oder SSID.
Kind regards Kattinka

Bootcamp installation deleted files

During Bootcamp installation of Windows 7, I selected the wrong flash drive to create an install disc and thus lost many important files. Is it possible to recover those files (from an external hard drive)? Please help me, they are the results of over hundreds of hours of work.

There are commercial software file recovery programs available for purchase,
not certain how well they work or the steps they require one to go through to
attain results. Such as:
Date Rescue 3 - prosoft:
http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
And there is this free-running software utility that can be used
for different kinds of file and image recoveries... it may work.
•PhotoRec - Digital Picture and File Recovery:
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec
Hopefully you can recover most files safely.
The overwritten status is problematic.
Good luck & happy computing!
