Bootcamp installation using USB drive

Hi,
My CD/DVD drive does not work. Any Cd I put in gets ejected out after a few seconds.
I need to install Windows 7 on my machine.
I wanted to know if it is possible to create an iso image of the installation and proceed by loading it using a USB drive?
Does Bootcamp recognize USB drive to install from?
Or is there a better way to do this??
Please help.
Thanks

Hi,
have a read at Apple BootCamp Setup Guide for MacBook Air http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/Boot_Camp_Install-SetupLate2010.pdf
And the procedure is described here http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-31012_7-20020513-10355804.html
For preparing the USB-Stick you have to have access to a Windows-PC.

  • Doesn't start mavericks installation from usb drive

    I tried to make a clean mavericks OS install from Mac OS 10.7.5. Firstly, I wrote Mavericks OS instal into the USB drive by the instructions, after that I made a restart and held the option. I choosed Mavericks OS usb to install and I got this:
    Any suggestions what I did wrong? I wrote Mavericks OS couple different times to usb drive, but all the time happened like this. I used 8gb Kingston flash drive.

    Make Your Own Mavericks, Mountain/Lion Installer
    After downloading the installer you must first save the Install Mac OS X application. After the installer downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
       2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the leftside list. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list.
    Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
       3. Use DiskMaker X to put your installer clone onto the USB flash drive.
    Make your own Mavericks flash drive installer using the Mavericks tool:
    You can also create a Mavericks flash drive installer via the Terminal. Mavericks has its own built-in installer maker you use via the Terminal:
    You will need a freshly partitioned and formatted USB flash drive with at least 8GBs. Leave the name of the flash drive at the system default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy this command line after the prompt in the Terminal's window:
    sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
    Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed to the screen so be careful to enter it correctly. Press RETURN, again.
    Wait for the process to complete which will take quite some time.

  • 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.

  • Using USB drive between Leopard and Snow Leopard

    I have 2 USB drives that were formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) on a Leopard Macbook Pro. I have had no troubles when using these drives between Leopard OS machines however when i try to copy files to them from a Snow Leopard machine an error message appears.
    Secondly when i tried to copy files from the USB onto the Snow Leopard (Macbook Pro) only the folders were visible and not their content. When I "Got Info" on the USB via Snow Leopard it showed that data space was being used.
    Can anyone tell me if Mac OS Extended is the standard Mac format type then why this might occur and hopefully a solution? I would like to upgrade to Snow Leopard but do not want to lose the data on my external drives formatted on Leopard.
    I appreciate the brains trust!!

    Was the computer that didn't work logged on to the "owner' of the images own account, or were you using a 'guest" log-in, kicks?
    If the different computers were set up in a different fashion for such things then it might explain the different behaviour.
    Another thing that could prevent a Mac writing to an external drive would be if the external drive itself is formatted with the NTFS file system (common on many windows drives). Unless the mac concerned has additional software installed then it can't write to an NTFS drive. Perhaps the ones that could write have the necessary patches installed?
    A final issue may be power. Was this a self powered drive or a bus powered drive? Computers that follow very closely the official USB specs often have trouble powering a "bus powered" drive effectively from a single port. In this case trying a "Y" cable, letting you connect to two USB ports on the same computer, will usually get things working. Some Macs seem better than others in this situation, and even the actual USB port used may make some difference.

  • Imac Bootcamp installation without cd drive

    hello I want to buy the new Imac. And I want to install Windows 7 on it with Bootcamp. But how can I install Windows 7 without a Cd Drive. Maybe on a USB Stick? but how does it work?

    You need a .iso image with Windows 7 to create the USB drive. You'll download the .iso if you've purchased Windows 7 as a download from the Microsoft Store. If you've the iso, open Boot Camp Assistant and follow steps

  • How to install windows 7 on bootcamp without using super drive

    Hi All,
    I have just purchased a new MacBook Air mid-2011.
    I wish to install Windows 7 Ultimate on the boot camp partition but have not purchased any external drive.
    How can I install Windows using remote drive of my other MacBook running OSX-Lion or is there any other way.
    Please help.
    Thankyou in advance.

    If you want to install using Bootcamp Assistant try these links.

    Or, you could install using a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox.

  • Kernel Panic when using USB Drive

    This post originally started in the Time Machine topic but it now seems to be a basic issue with the USB i/f.
    I am using a iMac IntelC2D to backup to a Seagate FreeAgent 750 USB drive. Everything has been working OK but just recently I have been suffering crashes every time Time Machine runs. I have reset PRAM but the problem persists. I have tested the backup volume on another machine running OS X 10.5.1 and it works OK. Testing with a different USB drive on the iMac causes the same problem. The hard drive itself is therefore OK. It seems to be a problem with the USB i/f on the iMac.
    These are a couple of the crash reports which point to com.apple.driver.AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement
    Is this a H/W problem? Suggestions are invited.

    This is a repeatable problem on the iMac.

    Just as final note on this topic. I discussed the problem with the local Apple Repair Centre who advised reinstalling 10.5.1, as suggested by baltwo, before bringing the machine in for repair. I did this and everything seemed OK. It has been running backups for 10 days now without a problem.

  • Random crashes when using USB drive with Creatie Suite

    I have a 24" Intel IMAC and when using a SanDisk Cruzer Titanium 2GB and Creative Suite I eperience random crashes in CS. When I remove th drive it works fine, any known issues when using Rosetta apps and USB drives?
    thanks

    So a guy goes into his doctors office and tells his doctor "Ya gotta
    help me doc...it hurts when I run my head into the door like
    this...OW!". Then the doctor says:
    "DON'T DO THAT ANY MORE!!!"
    (I promise to keep my day job...oops what job...and not go into
    comedy..)
    Why don't you convert all the old 16 bit code into 32 bit code and
    create one application where the various parts all know about each
    other? I don't think that there's any way to coordinate an old 16 bit
    LV and a new 32 bit LV application so that they don't step on each
    other driverwise like they appear to be doing. I don't think that the
    two LabVIEW's even know that the other exists!
    Alternatively, get a second computer to run the 16 bit code on and
    make the two apps communicate with
    each other using TCP/IP or serial.

  • 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..

  • Time Machine Lock up using USB drive

    I am using a iOmega USB drive that was recommended and sold by Apple
    for my Time Machine backup drive. Every time I go to Time Machind and
    revert to an older date the program freezes and then I get a device
    removal error. I have to shut off the drive and restart it. But that
    only allows me to look at one past date before it freezes again.
    Anyone Know about this problem??

    That's disappointing. I actually have a separate NAS already, configured for RAID1: a ZyXEL NSA220. Worked fine when I only had windows machines, but isn't reliable with my MACs, and doesn't support extended journaled format, so I need a different solution. I was hoping to just use a USB drive attached to my airport extreme to replace it, but I can't do that if I can't back up that USB drive.
    Can anyone recommend a good backup solution? Surely this can't be that uncommon a scenario?

  • Use usb drive as disc cache?

    I see Windows suggests using a USB 2.0 drive as a faster Hard Drive Cache. Does Apple OS support this?
    And besides letting the OS defrag and do other "cleanup" functions, are there other things, besides just more memory, to speed the laptop? Even when I have nothing open but Activity Monitor, and 1GB free memory, things are taking 'forever' [a min or more to open Safari while the system seems to be doing other things]. CPU is showing under 10% busy, over 50GB free hard drive, but even "Finder" locks up. Original 2GB RAM still in the system.

    John,
    Two thoughts on using a USB external:
    1.) it will be slow. I use FW-800 externals, setup as Steve & Chuck recommend. Try the USB, but be prepared for slow playback and also slowdowns as you edit. I used USB once, and swore never again.
    2.) set up the drive letter in your OS, so that it is always, say F:\. This must be done in the OS, since you might have other drives (thumb, flash, etc.) that would automatically get that drive letter, unless you set it in the OS. If you move your USB external between machines, you will want to set it up as the same drive letter in the OS of all other machines. If you have multiple machines, check to see available drive letters and choose one of these. I have 4 2TB FW-800 externals that are set to W, X Y & Z in the OS of all three machines. Everytime I plug one of these in, it is ALWAYS the same drive letter.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Bootcamp cant use USB stick to download drivers.

    My Macbook Pro cant seem to use the USB stick to download the drivers for Windows. I have install Windows on a new partition but cant use it since the machine does not talk with the software without the drivers.
    Every time I try to download them, it tells me ''Unable to save the Windows support software on the selected disk. An error occurred while saving the Windows support software.'' (English translation from French).
    Went twice to the Genius Bar, lost my time twice and I dont really know what to do.

    Good Afternoon Juliendls,
    The resources below will explain how to setup Boot Camp using a USB.  What version of Windows are you trying to install?  Is it possible that you have not formatted the USB media for Windows?
    How to install Windows using Boot Camp - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201468
    Frequently Asked Questions about installing Windows 7 with Boot Camp - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-lb/HT202008
    Where can I get the Windows Support Software (Windows drivers)?
    Use Boot Camp Assistant to automatically download the software for your Mac and the versions of OS X and Windows you are using. Refer to System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems for more information.
    How do I use the Support Software I downloaded from the web page?
    The download file is a .zip file. Double click it to uncompress it.
    Copy the Support Software to the root level of a USB flash or hard drive that is formatted with the FAT file system (see question below for steps on how to format). 
    Attach the hard drive to the USB port of your Mac after Windows 7 is installed. 
    Double-click the Boot Camp folder, then locate and double click the "setup.exe" file. 
    Installation of the drivers can take a few minutes. Don't interrupt the installation process. A completion dialog box will appear when everything is installed. Click Finish when the dialog appears.
    When your system restarts your Windows 7 installation is done.
    How do I format USB media to the FAT file system?
    Use Disk Utility to format a disk for use with a Windows computer.
    Important: Formatting a disk erases all the files on it. Copy any files you want to save to another disk before formatting the disk.
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the disk you want to format for use with Windows computers.
    Click Erase, and choose one of the following from the Format pop-up menu:
    If the size of the disk is 32 GB or less, choose MS-DOS (FAT).
    If the size of the disk is over 32 GB, choose ExFAT.
    Type a name for the disk. The name’s maximum length is 11 characters.
    Click the Erase button, and then click Erase again.
    Hope that helps ...

  • Windows 7 installation from USB drive issue

    I tried installing Windows 7 through a USB Thumb drive. I got an error message saying 
    "No device drivers were found. Make sure the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK."
    Please help me. 

    Hi:
    See if either of the driver files I have attached work. 
    If they don't, I won't be able to assist you any further.
    You will have to try each of them separately, because they have the same file names in the folders.
    Download, unzip and copy just the files in the folders to a usb flash drive.
    With the flash drive and W7 installation media plugged into the machine, boot from the W7 installation media.
    After you select the install now option, select the Drive Options - Advanced menu, then select the Load Driver option.
    You should now see the storage driver files listed.
    If you check the box, it will only include the compatible driver.
    Follow the prompts and hopefully, W7 will install.

  • Installation using usb-stick & grub4dos

    I want to install arch using grub4dos without any partitions and iso-writing. Just put iso on usb-stick, make some magic with grub4dos and install arch.
    So, Now I can boot arch iso, but my boot from this iso crush.
    Grub:
    map --heads=0 --sectors-per-track=0 /arch.iso (0xff)
    map --hook
    root (0xff)
    chainloader (0xff)
    this code works fine, arch.iso booting fine, that it loads kernel, but can't find device "boot device didn't show up after 30 seconds" because it search for disk-by-label=ARCH-BLABLA, but my usb-stick has FLASH label
    I have tried to boot using kernel and initrd commands in grub, without loading arch boot menu - nothing works.
    I have tried to change label, in arch boot menu I pressed tab, then change archlabel to FLASH (my usb-stick label), but it still can't find device.
    Any ideas?

    Since grub4dos is still used for this purpose, and since this topic turns up on google as a first hit for some very generic search terms, I'll add an easy solution.
    Arch can easily be booted via it's installation ISO using the OP's method, with a small prior to the initramfs mounting it's filesystems.
    after using
    map --mem (hd?,?)/path/to/arch.iso (0xff)
    map --hook
    chainloader (0xff)
    boot
    GRUB chainloads up the isolinux bootloader from the iso now mapped in memory.
    Upon selecting your architecture, isolinux begins the system's transition from real mode to protected mode.
    It loads the kernel and initrd correctly from memory back to memory, however once the kernel is bootstrapped, the iso in memory is lost.
    The mount's fail because the iso isn't designed to boot via grub4dos memory mapping.
    You are however dropped to a rescue shell.
    You can now mount the filesystem of the usb that the iso is contained within, and copy it back to memory, and with either a loopback mount or a symlink, you're good to go.
    # make a new directory to mount the usb partition
    mkdir /usb
    # mount the usb partition (you can check with lsblk or blkid both included in the initramfs shell)
    mount /dev/sd?? /usb
    # copy the iso to the /dev directory
    # or similar location that is preferrably passed on to the root filesystem at chroot
    cp /usb/path/to/arch.iso /dev/arch.iso
    # cleanup after yourself as a best practice i suppose (also want to remove the flashdrive right?)
    umount /usb;rmdir /usb
    # either of these methods works for me.
    losetup -f /dev/arch.iso
    # or
    ln -s /dev/arch.iso /dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_?????? # being the date on the iso label
    # You could also just copy the iso into the /dev/disk/by-label directory with the label as the file name "ARCH_??????"
    # exit twice because you drop back into rescue shell the first time.
    exit # or [ctrl] + [d]
    exit # or [ctrl] + [d]
    Arch should boot correctly and quickly!
