USB drive not recognized in fresh Windows 7 installation on MBPR 15 via bootcamp.

I'm trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate on my Macbook Pro Retain 15 via bootcamp. I've gotten all the way through the Win 7 installation and now am able to login. However, Windows doesn't detect my USB drive that has all the drivers. (It's already FAT32).
I'm stuck with a Windwos installation that can't get online and can't do anything. How do I install the basic drivers? My hunch is that the Macbook has all USB 3.0 slots and Windows doesn't have those drivers by default.

Assuming your original image files are on a seperate drive to the boot drive then Copy or Move your catalog file (and the preview folder if you wish) to another drive, no need to export it. Just copy it back to whatever location you want once finished and open it from the new instillation. On no account re import files that are already referenced by a catalog. When you re start LR it should find the original files if the drive paths to wherever they are located remains the same, if not right click and relocate the files/folders.
LR stores the catalog file and previews data on whatever drive you specify when creating the catalog. It will default to the C drive unless you say different. The locations of preferences files, templates etc. are by default on a windows installation at user/username/AppData/Roaming/Adobe on the C drive. Obviously the image files themselves can go wherever you wish.
It is usually best to locate the catalog on a different drive to the OS and applications where this is possible. However if your SSD drive is large enough the performance gains from having the previews on the SSD may outweigh the performance gains from having them on a separate drive, it rather depends on how much space you have on the SSD.

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?

It means what it says. The "computer person" formatted it wrongly/ unsuitably. it needs to be formatted again.

Windows 7 installation will not recognise the Bootcamp disc!

I have a 2008 Macbook running Snow leopard.
Installed Win 7 via bootcamp but when I insert the Mac Snow Leopard disc to install the Bootcamp drivers etc after the Win 7 install has succeeded, the Windows 7 installation will not recognise the disc!
Any ideas
Thanks in advance

If you used your Leopard DVD then it won't work.
As ScuseMe said only the OSX Snow Leopard DVD contains the drivers for Windows 7.

Bootcamp does not recognize Windows 7 Installation USB

I have a 2010 iMac running the current 10.10 Yosemite build. Bootcamp version is 5.1.2.
I want to install Windows 7 via Bootcamp on a partition on one of my internal hard drives.
I created an installation USB drive using bootcamp resulting in a MS-DOS FAT formatted USB flash drive containing ~4.75GB of data. The OS installation and the current Bootcamp tools. The drive is named WININSTALL .
When I start up Bootcamp to do an installation I get an error saying "The installer disc could not be found."
How do I tell Bootcamp to install off of the USB instead of looking for an installer disc?

You might wan't to ask in the Boot Camp forum where the Boot Camp gurus hang out.
https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp
It sounds like you have not yet completed the Windows installation process by installing the Windows drivers.

Bootcamp 5.1 Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation

I've searched the internet, I've tried solutions on some of the discussions on here:
Windows 8.1 install fails on new 2013 Retina MacBook
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23490854#23490854

Windows 8.1 Install Fails on New 2013 Retina MacBook, Users Report
http://wind8apps.com/windows-8-1-install-fails-new-2013-retina-macbook/
(Can't try this one because I don't have physical media or a burner and don't want to upgrade to 8.1)
Tried maskedferret's and jarvil's instructions that might work for others but not for me. Also the process must be older version of disk utility. There is no "minus" to remove a partition in the one I have.
Half the problem is those threads are so long with people posting up their problems that are not even the same problem. So then you have to sift through all these responses that aren't even really releated.
If you're problem isn't this problem then please don't use this thread to solve another issue.
“Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of the installation. To install Windows, restart the installation.”
I can't find in the release notes of any beta Maverick update that this is being addressed.
1) Does anyone know if there is a fix coming out for this?
2) Is there some solution that doesn't require to have physical media?
     a) I have Windows 8.1 iso and product key
     b) I have a 32gb USB stick that I had Bootcamp format
     c) I have a spare 16gb USB stick. Both are USB 2.0 so I can't do Windows To Go. Maybe I should get one.
3) I have no idea how tell which MacBookPro I have since no one at Apple seems to believe in model numbers. I just ordered it online two weeks ago and received it this week so I guess it's the "latest" model hardware wise. Running 10.9
The cloest possible solution I came across was to boot up Windows 8 OS on a USB stick (Not the install) and run diskpert or fdisk for mbr thought I can' try this out because I don't have Windows To Go. I'd rather have it worked problem from Apple if I can figure out when they plan to update I might be willing to wait.

Finally got a physical CD and to the third link option still same issue. Even worse actually as even after formating the partition I get a "Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style"
Found my "-" minus remove parition in Disk Utility. Will attempt maskedferret's again

Bootcamp, ATI 4850 driver not installs on windows 7 x64.

Hi all, I need some help with ATI driver installation.
I followed Windows x64 installation instructions available
on Apple page.
Here is how I installed Windows 7 x64:
1. Partitioning - went fine.
2. Windows 7 x64 Installation - black screen issue encountered.
3. I prepared usb drive as described on apple page - didn't work
Black screen again - I rebooted several times with no success.
4. I removed atikmdag.sys- according to description found on the internet.
5. Then I was able to complete installation.
6. Installed Bootcamp 3.0 from MaxOS CD
7. I was asked for reboot - I confirmed.
8. Black screen again!
9. I repeated point 4 (atikmdag.sys removal) and then
was able to login to Win7
10. I installed Bootcamp 3.1 for windows 64 update.
11. I was asked for reboot - I confirmed.
12. Black screen AGAIN!
13. I repeated point 4 AGAIN (atikmdag.sys removal) and then
was able to login to Win7
14. I tried to repeat unistall/install of Bootcamp 3.0/3.1
several times with the same result:
A). Install Bootcamp
B). Bootcamp asks for reboot
C). Black screen issue
D). manual atikmdag.sys removal
E). go to A.
I also tried ATI Catalyst drivers installation but there is still Black screen issue and driver is not really installed.
Also I executed Windows Update and tried to install ATI driver
from there, but its installation fails!
I have iMac i7 8GB RAM - just got it two days ago and can't it really use with Win7
I'll appreciate any help.

Plug in another monitor this will fix the problem. windows/apple (one of the two) turns the mini port in the back into the main output. once you plug in a new monitor the install will continue and the drivers are updated of the apple disc will will be able to unplug the monitor and everything should be ok.

Windows 8 BootCamp Installation Not Working

Hi, I recently found out that you could use Windows on a Mac using Bootcamp. Me, being a serious gamer decided to try it out. i have the Win. 8 disc and I also have the drivers on my flash drive {4gb}. Using bootcamp, I made a partition and restarted. Everything was fine until I clicked on 'Install Now.' An error popped up saying the following:
"A media driver your computer needs is missing. This could be DVD, USB, or Hard Disk driver...."
Then it says to insert the flash drive for the drivers, so I do, and I see it when I'm browsing for drivers, but for every singe driver, it is not compatible with Windows 8. There were 10 drivers that were compatible, and if I tried to install it just says that I need to get an updated driver from Microsoft. Is there a way to bypass this? Disable Driver Signature Enforcement?
My Mac:
Macbook Pro 13.3'' Non-Retina, Mid-2012
2.9 GHz Intel Core i7
Yosemite 10.10
Process:
I downloaded WindowsSupport software using Bootcamp, and then it asked me to put the installation media in, so I did. From there it asked me to partition and reboot. You know the rest.
Windows Installation:
DVD
Please help!
Thank you for taking your time to help me,

You can start the Windows installation because you have started in EFI mode. You can install Windows in this way, but you won't be able to install Boot Camp drivers and you might have issues, so I don't recommend you to do it.
You don't need any additional driver during the Windows installation, and this is probably caused because your Macbook Pro isn't designed to install Windows in EFI mode

New rMBP 13" - Trackpad/Keyboard not working during Win7 Bootcamp Installation

Hi,
I bought the new rMBP 13" 2 weeks ago and now wanted to install Win7 on an extra partition. Using the Bootcamp Assistant, I created a bootable USB drive to install. However, when booting the USB drive and getting to the first installation screen (asking for language), I don't have a cursors to select anything. Also the keyboard is not working. I thought the Win7 might lack some drivers, but I even a different Win7 distribution (64bit) but it still wasn't working. Does anyone have an idea what I could do to fix it? Obviously, not everyone has this issue.
Thanks!

Have you upgraded your EFI firmware -> http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1704?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US?

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!

Trying to repair Bootcamp but keyboard not working at installation screen?

Okay so I was a happy little camper, had windows 7 running on bootcamp perfectly and had yosemite installed recently.
Bootcamp was running out of space so I created an exFat partition and that's when the past 24 hours of my life have turned into ****.
Bootcamp would show in system preferences but when I restarted the computer and held alt, it would not show at start up neither directly restarting into bootcamp worked. Finally found a solution for that, did the whole fdisk stuff and fixed the MBPR etc etc. Now bootcamp is present at start up via alt option but once I start I only get a black screen with a blinking cursor. The solution to that I discovered is to repair bootcamp using a bootable usb/cd. Since I'm using a MBP retina 2014, I had to create a bootable usb via bootcamp. Now, when I go to the start up screen and select the win 7 bootable drive, I get to the installation screen to select language but my trackpad/mouse and keyboard are not responding!!! *takes a gun and shoots himself* How do I fix this ? I've been trying to find a solid solution but no luck! please someone help me out

Please, is there any workaround to this problem? I would wish to install arch on my PC.
Maybe installing an older version CD could work, but i am not sure if older versions of arch offer support for ext4...
EDIT: Ok I solved it, it was a very strange option in Bios, called "Installer OS Select", where the options to choose were Windows or Others, and I choose others and voilà!, Keyboard working.
Strange, right?

Bootcamp not loading windows after installation

Hi there! I have an iMac 27" with bootcamp 5.0.3 and OSX 10.8.4. I followed the instructions to install bootcamp. And everything went smooth. Up to the very end of windows 7 installation when it complained I did not have the proper disk. I just retried and it worked.
So I was able to get to win 7, and then install the additional software from the USB drive. Problem is:
When I restart my mac pressing the Option key, there's no disk selection for me. I can't load windows anymore.
Any ideas?
Ps: I'm pretty sure I'll be able to load using the Startup disk, but I'd like to be able to choose the OS at startup time.
Regards

Hi
Apologies for the confusion the problem occured when I was using just 384Mb DDR PC2100 memory (2 memory sticks); I switched them for just one stick of memory (512Mb DDR PC2700) and when I found that the problem still remained I decided to use all three memory sticks as it seemed evident that the memory wasn't causing the problem.
To address your second suggestion when I connected the Maxtor HDD I set it as a slave on the drive and connected it to the middle IDE 0 Flat cable connector and shortly thereafter the problem reasserted itself.
Thankyou.

Bootcamp: installer disk could not be found - but MAC desktop can see it

Hi,
I have an iMac intel - 17" 1.83 GHz that I put together from a box of junk. Mechanic friend took it all apart, don't ask. Installed a new hard drive of 1 terrabyte. The internal optical drive does not work so we got a new Iomega optical drive that works just great.
We want to run Windows XP Pro on this iMac - and after updating all of the software in Mac (OS 10.5.8), and running Bootcamp set up assistant, partitioned the drive to 500 GB MAC; 500 GB PC, got this error message saying that the Windows XP installer disk could not be found.
The disk appears on the desktop. I can click on it and see all of the pc files in it. I clicked on a couple of the files and got a simple text document of gibberish. But the set up assistant in Bootcamp still doesn't recognize the disk. So I have been unable to install Windows.
The disk itself is a burned copy from my university that gave me a full license for Windows XP Pro, SP 3. It's 32 bit. And it shows up as an install disk when I pop it into a PC.
I've run Disk Warrior and Disk Utilities to repair permissions and to check that the new hard drive is ok...and it's all set.
I wonder if this is because of the external dvd drive that I'm using. I can use my Macbook Pro and get the imac into target mode. But don't know if this will have me continue to bark up this tree.
Has anyone had success with the same kind of problem that I'm not facing? Thanks much in advance.
Sheila

I too got a version of Windows 7 64 Professional from the the Microsoft Software Distribution Network through Uni. I burnt the iso file on a PC to a DVD with power ISO and then tried to use it as the install disk. After some umming and arrhhing Mac OS X recognised it, the installer started, allowed to select language etc, then suddenly a box appears announcing that a required cd/dvd drive device driver is missing.
I have rang up apple support and they are pretty much saying it is a disc quality issue, but I have checked all the disc drive regimes and permissions and they all seem to be fine. I have also done it with multiple brands and a number of times, everytime the same message returned. All the latest firmware has been downloaded. One thing that was briefly mentioned by the guy at Apple support was that there was the possibility that it may be the "logic board". So the previous poster may be right. They said this was unlikely, but everything is possible. The drive works for everything in the OS X side though, so has pretty much stumped me and the Apple support people. I think the only option is to take it to an Apple shop and let them see it for themselves, not really an option for me as I need the Mac Book to write my dissertation, due in about three weeks so can't afford to lose it.
Sorry if I have slightly "jacked" the thread, but the issue sounded pretty close to mine. Any resolution or insight into what might be the issue would be amazing.

Duncan
