Bootcamp installation error in 10.6.8

Im running Snow leopard 10.6.8 and MacbookPro 5,3... 2.8ghz core 2 duo (late 2009)
So recently my parallel's dekstop file had errors so i uninstalled it completely with clean my mac.
So the next step for me is to install parallel's desktop 6 and the problem occurs when i insert the windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
My mac wont read the windows dvd, so i thought it was the parallel's error,
I went and make a new partition for BOOTCAMP but the final step where it needs the windows 7 dvd it fails to read.
And its not the superdrive, because inserting the Snow Leopard, movie dvd, song cds is flawless.
my brother has the same laptop as me and running the 10.6.6 os it was fine, istalled it beautifully.
My Question is  :
Is there another way so i dont have to downgrade to 10.6.6 to be able to read windows7 dvd.
Should i be running 10.6.6 or 10.6.8 ?

nope it does not show in finder sidebar or desktop...
this is what i finally did :
1. use the snowleopard dvd that came along with my laptop, put it in hold c while booting...
2.once it booted to 10.6 i insert the windows 7 dvd... its there....
3.before i make a partition for windows via bootcamp... i updated to 10.6.6 (downloaded from apple.com) and the windows7 64 bit still shows on my desktop...
4. so i go on and install the 10.6.8 combo updates.... windows 7 64 bit is no longer showing in my desktop...
so i think its the 10.6.8 fault

  • Help Please. Bootcamp installation error. Mac newbie

    Hello.
    I just bought a brand new 24" iMac about two weeks ago. Downloaded BootCamp beta today, updated all software and firmware. Installed bootcamp, installed Windows Media Center 2005 SP2. Before that I created a new 32gb partition to keep the FAT system the same. This is my first Mac, I love OS X, unfortunately I need to run ESRI GIS software which is only PC compatible. Anyway, Windows installs, I try ejecting the CD, and it would not ehect. I restarted the computer to go back to OS X, but the disc never ejected, and it reads off the installation disc. I can not boot OS X now. How can I get the disc out, without OS X? And/Or what should I do to safe the least amount of hassle. I installed this POS OS on its own partition. I am very windows and computer literate, but this one just seems to scratch my head. My nervous than anything, spent over $2700 said and done, and I don't feel like problems within two weeks already. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You

    Awesome links. Also helped me. I sold my powerbook g4 before because of terrible it was to run virtual pc ... now debating if I should do bootcamp or parallels option ... probably going with parallels ...
    Smart idea: My advice is to install BootCamp (with fat partition/Vol) but use Parallels with that as its Win Drive.
    *Virtual pc is an Emulator which is utterly different technology and with heavy overheads.*
    Don't believe most of the negative stuff you'll read here about parallels - it's almost all wrong/caused by misunderstanding.
    Pre-leopard (which i don't use) BootCamp is BETA. Don't trust it.
    Use parallels and have it use the Windows Partition.
    It's not emulation - in most case it's stable, megafast flexible and reliable.
    It is 'Virtualisation - a technology around in Mainframes for years and the Virtual Machine approach is the way of the future (on most platforms):
    one example : people have argued for VM Fusion (or BootCamp) over Parallells because 'Parallels only uses one processor and VM will use 2 - or 4.. and 'BootCamp is 'Native'....
    Wrong.
    VM will use 2 - but in doing so usually slows the Mac down unnecessarily - with Parallels, The VM gets one or more processor/cores... the OS X Stream usually gets its own one or more processors/cores...
    Parallels IS 'Native'Intel.
    *BootCamp (pre-Leopard) is BETA*. (=no support... and you'll get little when it isn't because BETA almost all your problems will be with "third party products" like Windoze or Windoze Apps doing truly stoopid things.. I doubt you can get much M$ support for running windoze under BootCamp or any of the VM solutions... not that you get much M$ support anyway
    *Apple are never really going to support Windoze - why shd they: NOT their product... Vice versa.*
    Parallels is usually faster than fusion VM and often faster than booting into windoze.
    (Exceptions : fancy 3d grafix cards - just a driver issue - which is still an issue with the others anyway and is being upgraded all the time)
    Otherwise, It's often even faster than equivalent 'Native Windoze' Boxen (no I don't really know why either ... .
    Parallels and other VM products allow you to run multiple VMs: 95, 98,XP,Vista,Linux... at supa high speed and all in their own windows while OS X continues 'doing its stuff'!!
    Amazing stuff: If you have any brains these days, you really only need to buy ONE PC: a good Intel Mac, and run the best set up & optimised VM product you can find, and whatever OSs you fancy!
    For my money - ATM, that's a Mac with windoze partitions on drives and a top quality VM product like Parallels...
    (A lot of 'non technical' ppl simply don't 'get' this stuff... wikipedia can help, google reviews, benchmarks etc.. - e.g. grab a fast Flash drive.. format as HFS+ and use from OS X => as fast as possible. Format as Windoze, use on/from Mac and it may be 10 times as slow, V/V and so on....)
    With OS X, Parallels, correctly-formatted Win Drives, correctly setup and optimised you really have the best of all possible worlds. BUT: stay in the Mac world. DON'T use rubbishy windoze programs that were NOT designed to work in a Virtualised environment (MacDrive etc etc) or you will get probs (use TCP/IP Networking or Shared folders etc instead - not that you really need much of anything like MacDrive, anyway the Mac & VM can read and write all that...)
    My ('post College') Kids all switched to Macs set up this way.
    They only ever use BottCamp for some games.
    They do have Parallels but rarely need to use any Windoze stuff anyway.. - oh and 'They are SO Cool" and "we love them.."
    They'll never go back (sell yr M$oft shares short
    Best of luck.

  • BootCamp 5.0 error on 13" MacBook Pro Mid-2010: "Installation Error. Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model"

    Installing Boot Camp 5.0.5033 (downloadable at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638) on Windows 8 x64 on 13” MacBook Pro Mid-2010 using BootCamp\setup.exe, I get the following message: “Installation Error. Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model”.
    According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634, Windows 8 x64 is not supported by Boot Camp 5 on 13” MacBook Pro Mid-2010 .
    Previous version, Boot Camp 4.0, causes bluescreens on Windows 8 (https://discussions.apple.com/message/20131524#20131524).
    Fortunately, it might be still possible to employ updated Boot Camp by launching “msiexec /i BootCamp.msi” from BootCamp\Drivers\Apple folder using administrative command prompt (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc947813%28v=WS.10%29.aspx).
    However, new Boot Camp 5.0.5033 does not contain all the drivers for 13” MacBook Pro Mid-2010. E.g. driver for NVIDIA nForce System Management Controller (labeled Other devices/Coprocessor in Control Panel) and NVIDIA nForce PCI Systems Management (labeled Other devices/SM Bus Controller in Control Panel) must be obtained at Drivers\NVidia\NVidiaChipset64 in older Boot Camp 4.0 (downloadable at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1634)
    According to Microsoft (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/system-requirements), the MacBook Pro config (Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM) exceeds Windows 8 x64 hardware requirements. Windows Experience Index for this laptop is approx. 5.1 (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/what-windows-experience-index).
    Does anybody know, is there any technical reason why Windows 8 x64 is not supported by Boot Camp 5 on 13” MBP Mid-2010?
    Is there a specific hardware/firmware deficiency in this MacBook model, incompatible with Win8? Maybe NVIDIA refused to provide Win8-compatible drivers for its chipset components (GeForce 320M graphics card though is still supported by latest notebook drivers available at www.geforce.com)?

    Thanks for the detailed explanation! If MacBook supports AHCI/SATA only in native “UEFI mode”, while reverting back to PATA/IDE in legacy “BIOS mode”, then it could make perfect sense to use UEFI to make sure that technology like Native Command Queuing (NCQ) is employed, as it may give noticeable performance improvements for certain operations: www.happysysadm.com/2012/12/intel-g530-nas-performance-part-3.html. I wonder how do you get Windows 8 x64 with EFI bootloader installed on MacBook?
    Simply choosing EFI Boot (“Some EFI platforms support both UEFI and BIOS firmware. On some of those systems, it is not always clear if the default DVD boot option is an EFI or BIOS boot option. On these systems, using the EFI shell command may be required. If you do not specifically start Windows Setup by using the EFI boot entry, the default firmware boot entry for BIOS may be used. If Windows Setup starts in BIOS mode on a combined EFI/BIOS system, the ESP and MSR partitions are not created.”) from Win8 x64 DVD when installing on blank HDD would yield “The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed" message. Also, if the hard drive was not in SATA mode during Windows installation, registry tweaking may be required before switching from PATA to SATA. Do you do registry tweaking and EFI bootloader configuration manually after a copy of Windows was installed in its dedicated partition in a regular way?

  • Windows 7 installation error using bootcamp

    windows7 installation error then i try to restore my MBP mid 2012 on HD Restored but  its only continues Loading and Loading nothing happen almost 5 hours i try twice same happen.Someone can help me to restored my MBP any idea?

    I think people have detested like me the Metro changes but then I just hit a key and I am back to desktop - it runs better and smoother and 8.1 has made booting to desktop option one of the first things you can set and it walks you through it.
    OEM is fine, cannot transfer to another computer is all, and I would follow the "a newer version" link.
    Windows 7 even with SP1 is 3 yrs old, and a lot of tweaking and improvements went under the hood.
    See if you can google a review of games under 8/8.1 that you use.
    Buy now might even want to see if there are or will be any free upgrades to 8.1 or not.

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • Bootcamp drivers Error - Key Agent

    Hi All,
    I have recently reinstalled fresh Bootcamp (Windows 7 x64) on my iMac running Yosemite. However I'm having difficulty installing the drivers, I had to first bypass the issue with the x64bit drivers but running it through CMD but I get the Errors
    "Service 'Key Agent/Mac HAL' (Keyagent/MacHALDrivers) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
    I have tried following the instructions that seemed to be the answer for this:
    I had the exact same problem, only on a 17" MBP. In my case, Win7 event manager reported that BootCamp 3.2 Services failed to install, in particular the KeyAgent service (and without that you get no Apple keyboard and functions and apparently the BootCamp icon doesn't show up in the system tray).
    Event Manager said the BootCamp installer did not have sufficient permissions, so I went to dial down the User Account Control (UAC) settings (in fact, I turned it off). What I should have seen when BootCamp 3.2 update was running was a window to ask my permission to continue (allow the software to install). Instead, there was a silent failure.
    OK, so by turning off UAC that gives it permission in advance (you have to reboot after changing the UAC settings in order to ensure that it is truly OFF). After rebooting, I went to Programs and Features and found BootCamp Services as a software item. I selected "Repair" and after another reboot, I was back in business! Keyboard is now fine (including the disk eject button, which I wanted working). Then I went back to turn on UAC to its default level (one notch below highest setting). It is useful (normally) to have this on.
    Ask the Windows Help system if you don't know how to find the UAC settings to give this a try. Hope it helps you.
    I have followed these instructions, tried on all different UAC settings, (including resets) and by running repairs on the program in Programs and Features and but rerunning it in CMD but the same evil error keeps getting in my way.
    Anyone had and solved this issue recently? Can you install these drivers another way?
    Regards.

    You should post your question in the Boot Camp forums:

  • Bootcamp Installation Problem

    Hi Guys,
    Need some help here. I am totally struggling with my bootcamp installation. Here is what is going on, lets see if someone has had similar problems and can help me out.
    I have a Macbook Pro 15´ late 2011. I just updated the computer, installed 16gb of RAM and a 240 GB SSD made by Crucial (http://www.crucial.com/store/ProductMarketing_m500.aspx). As usual update my old hard drive is installed where the DVD drive was and my new SSD where the original driva was. Mavericks is running smooth, huge difference when starting the computer or loading applications. The problem comes when I went out to install Bootcamp.
    First I tried installing W7 with an standard procedure following bootcamp assistant. The problem comes when the computer restarts to start installing the OS, it gets stuck into a black page with a blincking line cursor. Nothing happens. Stays there forever. Tried different methods and no chance.
    So I decided to try with USB installation. Realized after a lot of research that the bootcamp assistant wont let you install by USB as you are supposed to use your optical drive. I made some research and found out that you could change some parameters under the bootcamp app so that the app lets you make all the USB installation. Tried this with W8 and Worked fine, but when installing windows tells me that the OS cant be installed under my SSD , some error regarding the drive.
    Tried the same as the one before with W7 but this time my mac pro would not even recognized the drive where all the windows installation was mounted.
    I have tried everything and I cannot get to a solution. Has someone had so much truble????
    please!! any help will be gladly received.
    best!
    Fernando

    The last poster who had this problem installed with a "too old" version of Windows and we spent a week on the problem before he mentioned it. Do you have Xp + SP2? If you do not have SP2 version you can stop right here. Make sure you install exactly to Apple's requirements and nothing can go wrong. Take a short-cut and you can potentially wreck even your OSX...

  • Rescue Vista Ultimate SP1 64 bit Bootcamp Installation as Hard Drive Fails

    I have been using a Bootcamp installation of Vista Ultimate SP1 64-bit retail since May 2008 without a problem. Vista was installed (accidentally) on two drives, both of which are separate from the two Mac OS drives. I would have preferred to install it on only one drive, and thought that I had done so.
    All my Windows documents and programs are on Drive C (Bay 2), which appears as a Master Boot Record Partition in Disk Utility. Drive D (Bay 3) contains some of the Vista files (including the Boot directory and bootmgr), but nothing else, and appears as a GUID Partition Table in Disk Utility.
    I have now begun to receive an S.M.A.R.T. warning that Disk D is failing. It was backed up last week before the warning to a Windows Home Server, but no longer backs up. I would like to replace Drive D with a brand new drive, but know from past experience that Vista will not boot if I simply remove Drive D. Aside from the Vista boot content, there is nothing on drive D that I need.
    How should I best proceed to avoid losing programs/data on drive C when replacing drive D? Should I remove drive D, and try to boot from the Vista Ultimate SP1 retail CD to "repair" drive C? Is there some other approach that would avoid having to start from scratch with a new Vista installation?
    Starting from scratch is very unattractive. The initial installation of Vista was a difficult chore that involved "cleaning" the brand new hard disk from the Vista CD (with Microsoft support), since it would not install on the Bootcamp-formatted drive. In addition, Drive C has software and documents that I use regularly and would rather not have to recreate.
    Many thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    So you do have at least one good backup. And you have used Vista file and PC backup as well, so you could do a restore if needed?
    Whatever you do, I would pull all your drives and drop in one or two fresh drives.
    I've never felt comfortable or safe with Acronis - doesn't support GPT.
    Prosoft DataBackupPC 1.0 - used to use for backups but never did a restore.
    Paragon HD Manager 2009 - seems to have a lot of tools but someone said it doesn't yet have full Mac and Boot Camp support.
    My system is Vista and Windows 7 on one drive, data and such on #2 and multiple backup drives - one internal and a couple hot swap external.
    SMART is not very good at predicting and you are at the point where what? I/O errors? bad or weak sector(s)? have you ever used the disk check to repair files and attempt to fix any bad blocks?
    Depending on the make of the drive, you want to use the vendor's utility - often before even using a drive - to do a full surface scan and repair.
    I remember when you had trouble installing.
    Oh, and I would make a new backup. Even if it means pulling your OS X drive and dropping a new drive in there, and make it a backup of programs, files, documents, whatever, and maybe a system image backup.
    Can you restore from the server? while booted from Vista DVD?
    I have a somewhat similar problem with a drive "D" with nothing on it now that is "owned" by Vista that I want to get rid of and strip so I can use it for backup or something else.... but afraid to.

  • Software Update, 10.6.6 installation error!!

    Hi all, hope someone can help.
    I have a Mac Pro running 10.6.5. I upgraded to 10.6.5 recently and had problems with this. When using Software Update, it would download, log out and install only to get an error at the end saying it couldn't install, with no explanation of why. I did some investigation and it boiled down to Safari (one of the updates in the list to install along with 10.6.5) wasn't being replaced. I had to delete Safari from my applications folder before updating. I tried rebuilding permissions and even installed from the installers from the apple download page. but until I deleted Safari from my apps folder it would fail every time.
    Since I assumed that it was a corrupt copy of safari and all other update went ok I assumed I had fixed the problem.
    Now I'm trying to install the update of 10.6.6 via Software Update. and I'm getting the same problems. It downloads, reboots, installs then at the end says that it was not installed because of an error and promps me to restart.
    I have downloaded the update and run it from the desktop and it goes through the install as follows:-
    Installing
    optimizing system
    Moving files
    installation failed.
    It seems that it isn't able to replace existing files on my system with new ones therefore fails the install.
    Has anyone got any ideas? I have repaired permissions with disk utility and tried repairing them while booting from the 10.6.3 system disc, still no joy
    Many thanks

    Worse problem here. I get the installation error then the computer attempts to reboot and I get locked at the gray background apple screen. Tried safe boot power on +SHIFT a status bar comes up and goes 3/4 away across and locks. Running permissions repair from Mac OEM disk set was no help. Had to do a time machine restore. Seems my install error is catastrophic. On the upside time machine works very well.. A bit disappointed with my Windows-esque crash
