Bootcamp Question? Should I update bootcamp before installing Vista SP1

Hi,
I am about to install Vista SP1 on iMac, Leopard 10.5.4.
About a month back, there was a bootcamp update that had been posted on support download website. The question is; Do I need to install the Update before installing Vista or is that needs to be done after the installation of Vista?
Thanks for the help,

The update is consists only of new device drivers for Windows XP and Vista. There are different updates depending upon whether you install 32-bit XP, 32-bit Vista, or 64-bit Vista. So Windows must be installed first, the original drivers included on the Leopard DVD should be installed, then you can install the update in Windows.

  • Must update firmware before installing OSX Tiger on OS9

    I'm trying to bring an iMac G3 with OS9 to life. It's brand new, never been used before, and doesn't yet have internet. I will get internet (Airport Card) soon, but first have a software update problem.
    After starting the iMac, I have inserted the install DVD for Tiger. The computer says it must restart to install, and when it restarts, the computer says it must update firmware before installing. I have to choose a system with which it will start up and my choices are:
    OS9: Hard Drive
    OSX: Install DVD
    My 3rd option searches for a location, and ends up restarting in OS9.
    Every option either results in the inevitable error message that the firmware needs updating or using the OS9 environment.
    I read Apple support saying that firmware needs to be updated to fix this problem. Support suggests updating firmware from the OSX install DVD, but I haven't found such updates on the DVD, and need to overcome the firmware problem.
    Please help, I am anxious to use my computer!
    Thank you!
    iMac G3   Mac OS 9.0.x   updating to OSX Tiger

    Hi, Kristine -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    You can download the firmware update you need from either of these Apple KBase articles -
    Article #58174 - iMac: When to Install Available Updaters
    Article #86117 - Firmware Updates
    In order to install the firmware update, the machine must be booted to OS 9 on its internal hard drive. It's a good idea to have no external devices connected when you do it, other than the keyboard and mouse. If you can, print out the ReadMe that accompanies the update.

    I have been using Elements 8.  Should I unstall 8 before installing elements 12 ?

    Thank you for responding.  Nothing actually worked!  After reading the posts online, I called Apple.  They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades.  The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did!  But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

  • 'Windows cannot install required files' error while installing Vista SP1

    I'm installing Vista Client SP1 on my Macbook pro and getting the following error:
    Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation.
    Almost exactly as described in this KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930984/ except my error code is 0x80070017. I'm double-checked CRC on my dvd to ensure it's not corrupt. Also I've previously successfully installed Vista SP1 from the SAME DVD on a different Mac Leopard (desktop)
    Any ideas? This is a new Macbook pro, just got it yesterday. Could be DVD drive issue?
    Thanks!

    Did you get far enough to delete the FAT partition BootCamp created, so you could create a new NTFS one?

  • Can´t install Vista SP1 on T61

    dear all
    i tried every trick i found in several internet forums regarding problems to install Vista SP1 on a T61 with failure message 0x800F0826. No chance to install.
    Can anybody advise how I can be successful ?
    Thx in advance

    Hi!
    Could you tell us whether it's a clean install of Vista or are you running a Lenovo pre-load? Also, are all your drivers updated? From my research there are two major culprits that can prevent an upgrade to Vista SP1 (either stand-alone or via Windows Update):
    1) fingerprint reader driver
    2) X3100 Intel graphics driver
    However, the error you mention is known to Microsoft but they offer little in terms of a solution for this issue. Here's their explanation:

  • Should I deinstall PS8 before installing PhotoShop SC5 Extended?

    I just received PhotoShop CS5 Extended from Adobe, but before I install it on my iMac I have decided to ask the following questions, just in case:
    a. Is there any problem you can think of by having PS8 and also PhotoShop CS5 installed on the same computer, or should I just remove PS8 first?
    b. Is anybody else still having PhotoShop Installer problems as I have been reading in this forum lately?
    My plan is to repair my iMac's permissions, restart the computer, install PhotoShop, and then repair permissions one more time before using PhotoShop.
    My 21" iMac is as follows:
    Mac OS 10.6.3
    3.33 MHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    8GB 1067 MHz RAM

    UPDATE:
    I went ahead and installed PhotoShop CS5, and it seems to be working fine. Before installing. I repaired permissions using UnyX, and then restarted my iMac. Next I installed CS5, and checked the computer's permissions (these were OK). I left PS8 alone, and both are working without problems.
    I did notice that noise reduction isn't any better than PS8, so I updated Neat Image V.4 to version 6 to use within the Filters folder of CS5.
    Thank you for answering my questions.

  • Should I uninstall v8 before installing v13?

    Should I uninstall Elements v8 before installing Elements v13?

    No, they are both stand alone  applications and will work happily side bey side.

  • Should I uninstall CS3 before installing CS6? [was:Ton Limburg]

    Do I have to uninstall all CS3 applications and extras, before installing CS6?

    Of course I'll keep all my in CS3 made files for further use, and I'll upgrade them if needed.
    I asked for retaining or removing applications... before installing newer versions, no upgrades.
    But don't mention anymore, I deleted them.

  • Audigy LS W/ Alchemy Upgrade - Error after installing Vista Sp1

    First off, yes I know it is a release candidate, and yes, I can uninstall it... but the error is there, and will of course be there when the final release is pushed out on updates unless it is fixed.... so here goes...
    I installed Vista Sp RC yesterday. No issues that I identified immediately, everything seemed fine. Yet today when I tried to listen to podcasts, iTunes wouldn't play audio (other apps still play audio fine). I tracked this down to a sound driver issue, so I went to control panel to load the Sound controls, and lo, there was an error box that did appear:
    "Audio Enhancements Problem"
    "Windows has detected that audio enhancements for the following device are causing problems:"
    "Speakers (SB Audigy LS)"
    "Would you like to disable Driver Enhancements for this device? (Yes/No)"
    I'm not sure what the side effect of disabling driver enhancements would be - it sounds like pretty much crippling the card, which will not accept as I did pay for the upgrade to support Alchemy in Vista for it. I'm also not sure if I tell it to disable the enhancements if I'll ever be able to turn them back on again without a reinstall - vista is that way with some of its hidden settings.
    So - is there another way around this other than simply uninstalling SP (which hopefully will work), and most importantly, will there be an update to fix the problem before Sp final pushes?
    My system is as follows:
    AMD Opteron 70, 2gb PC4000 DDR
    320GB Seagate SATA Dri've
    SB Audigy LS
    ATI Radeon HD2600XT
    DFI Lanparty NF4 Ultra-D
    Windows Vista Home Premium
    everything worked until today, and I'm assuming my install of SP RC was the trigger. I'm about to start a rollback, but that will of course take some time. I will post back here if the rollback does NOT fix the problem. I'm hoping it will, but still need a fix before SP final pushes.

    http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Vista/Vista-SP-RTMs-and-Lies/ http://www.microsoft-watch.com/conte..._question.html Is it RTM or not Google it and see. Main issue with SP is drivers (not many). That's all I care to comment on.You could reinstall any drivers that are a problem.Didn't work for me.

  • Did not update firmware before installing tiger now imac wont turn on....

    I bought tiger for my imac dv g3 400mh computer and bought additional memory from crucial so that it would load on.
    I got a message on screen saying that I needed to update firmware and to restart my computer which I did and now it will not turn on. The power button is on but the screen is blank.
    I have read an article posted on here and I tried everything (the sleep/wake trick)etc but it still will not work.
    any help will be appreciated.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Fortunately your Mac has a VGA port in its back panel, which should work to connect an external display while you apply the firmware after the fact. So find someone who has a VGA display, and download this firmware update and apply it while booted off the hard disk.
    http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n75130
    It is only the internal display which goes dark if the firmware was not applied before attempting to install 10.2 or later.

  • What should I know/learn before installing Arch?

    Hi everyone!
    This is my first post (I think).
    I've been using Linux (Ubuntu) for.. A long time, first time I installed it, I used it for 4-5 months, then reinstalled Windows. Then 7 months ago (maybe even more), I got very tired of Windows and all of their bullshit. So I installed Ubuntu and I've been running it ever since. I'd like to try Arch Linux, because I've heard that you learn a lot and that it's very customizable and so on. Also it's pretty badass that you install everything yourself and so forth.
    BUT! I've talked with a guy who tried to install it and he said it was hell. He said I'd at least need another PC, so I could google stuff as I come along. Which I have. I've partitionized my harddisk, so I can go back to Ubuntu if I fuck up. I feel ready to do this. I'm going to follow this tut: http://lifehacker.com/5680453/build-a-k … he-process
    Do you guys recommend something that I should read about or learn before I venture into the Arch Linux world? I know my way around bash, even knows how to script in it using loops and all that. I'm also a Java-programmer, so I'm not a complete computer-retard.
    So is there something that I should learn before? Thanks in advance! ^^

    In addition to the excellent advice by flipper and Trillby:
    You must be prepared to first try to fix things yourself. When people say you learn a lot by using Arch, this is in fact the way that you learn. You encounter a problem and then you set out to try to figure out how to solve it. This involves learning to effectively search the available documentation: http://wiki.archlinux.org, man pages, info manuals, searching the forum (hint: use "site:bbs.archlinux.org" in your search engine rather than the forum search mechanism), searching the web, and so on. Eventually, you will learn the underlying logic of the system and you'll be able to start to pinpoint and fix the source of problems on your own.
    Remember to stay on top of the news. You can subscribe to the RSS feed on the Arch Linux front page. If you ever run into any problems with a system update, check the news before going any further.
    Don't install software from the AUR until you absolutely have to and, when you do, keep the number of AUR-installed packages to a minimum. Remember that they are unsupported! And when you do install from the AUR, do not use any wrappers or helper scripts (i.e. yaourt or pacaur) until you have done it the manual way enough times to really know what's going on.
    When you do need to seek help on the forums, remember to give sufficient background information. Tell us what you've already tried and what didn't work. Use "code" tags. Remember that the forums can be very helpful but your hand will not be held. Once again, that's where the learning comes from: personal experience, not step-by-step how-tos.
    When something cannot be fixed, blame Allan.
    File bug reports.
    Update the wiki with your knowledge.
    Don't ask on the forums which package you should try, A or B, try both of them as well as C and D! Learn from trying, tinkering and breaking.
    Don't reinstall Arch, ever. It should be fixable no matter what. Some cases might be more complicated than others but the tools exist to fix it.
    Don't use pacman's "--force" option unless explicitly advised to do so.
    Have fun
