Bootcamp Windows 7 partition boot problems

I created a 100gb partion on my Macbook Pro and installed Windows 7. Have been using it successfully for several months. When I went to shut down the other night, Windows wanted to install updates, so I left it and went to bed. Next time I tried to start up in Windows, using option key, startup sequence began with "Starting up Windows" and the icon. After about a minute, the screen went black. Nothing happening, even though I could hear the machine was still running.
Restarted it in safe mode, was able to restore to previously working setup, tried to diagnose the problem with Windows install disk unsuccessfully (unable to operate in safe mode--32 bit). Thought maybe the problem was Windows updates wouldn't install if default startup disk was OSX, so changed startup disk to Bootcamp partition and restarted it. Same black screen after a minute.
Starting in safe mode again, tried to restore previous working settings. Now even that wouldn't work. Still able to see contents of Mac HD, so not worried that it's disappeared. Tried to restart using option key to get OSX, with no luck. It appeared that the Boot Manager had defaulted to the Windows side and wouldn't work with the option key.
Started up with the OSX install disk, using the C key, and was able to boot in OSX. Allowed software update to run, thinking maybe bootcamp driver was the issue. Tried to restart in Windows with option key again, but no luck.
Obviously, I can reinstall Windows 7, but wondering if there's another solution. ??

Just an additional note:  Apple Bootcamp Support states that, for 64-bit Windows 7, 20 GB of hard drive space is required.  I provided 60 GB. What happened to the other 35+ GB of space on that partition...?

  • Yosemite and Bootcamp Windows 7 booting problem

    Hello all,
    I upgraded to Yosemite from Mavericks from the App store on a MBP 2013 late which also had windows 7 installed on it using bootcamp.
    I can boot into Yosemite and Windows 7 by going to start up disk and selecting the OS and then restarting but what I cannot do is use the option key to show me the boot disk options when I power on like how I used to do before the upgrade.
    Is it the same for all, is there any work around or am I doing something wrong here ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Priyank.

    What about booting into safe mode and then uninstalling the app?

  • Disk utility resize mac partition resulted in 'no bootable disk' while starting from bootcamp windows partition

    my macbook air had two partitions for Mac OS and Windows XP. Because XP partition is too small, I used disk utitility in Mac OS to shrink the Mac partition, and make a new FAT32 partition, which I expected to use it in windows. Till now, I can find three partitions in disk utitily, MacOS/FAT32(which is totally free)/Bootcamp(windows). And in system preference->boot disk, I can see both Mac OS X and Bootcamp Windows.
    But when I reboot the computer and press "option" key while rebooting, I only see two boot device options, "mac os" and "recovery", no Bootcamp Windows.
    Anybody can give me a hand to recover my previous windows and use the freed partition in windows? Thanks.

    Hi Stefan!
    I have a rather similar problem having a BootCamp Windows 8 Partition. I actually have 2 NTFS partitions for windows and 1 for Mac OS. The situation is:
    0 - for Mac OS
    1 - BootCamp windows (NTFS - boot) - 60GB
    2 - Windows (NTFS) - 100GB
    After updating to Maverick I have no idea why, but now I have:
      in Mac OS:
    0 - Mac OS
    1 - BootCamp - 160G
      In Windows:
    0 - Mac OS
    1 - BootCamp - 60GB
    I have tried recovering the partition with a windows program, but all it could do is find it, but without any files on it.
    How can I restore my partition table to the way it was?!
    WHY did Mac OS mess up my windows partition table?
    WHY didn't I get a warning that the Boot Table will get altered?!
    Thank you for any help

  • Windows 2000 boot problem

    I have just moved my system to the new MX-6585 board - Did an Windows 2000 "upgrade" to initiate total hardware scan.
    System works ok, when it has booted, but booting is sooo slow.
    Found a Microsoft article describing the problem:
    SYMPTOMS
    After you choose to start Windows from the Boot menu, you may experience a long delay (or pause) before your computer finishes starting. Note that this delay may range from 10 seconds to a minute. Also, this delay occurs before the Starting Windows progress bar appears, and your computer may appear to stop responding (hang) during this time.
    CAUSE
    This behavior can occur if Windows is installed on a drive or a partition to which Windows cannot gain access with normal Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) INT-13 or INT-13 extension calls. When Windows Setup determines it cannot use BIOS calls to start, it uses scsi() or signature() syntax in the Boot.ini file instead of multi() syntax.
    My question is: Does MX-6585/BIOS in any way hinder the INT-13 calls to my Adaptec 2940???

    Thanks! I sent the following message:
    There are no IDE devices in my system, only SCSI. My hd is an IBM Ultrastar 36XP DRHS-36D. When I start the system up, the SCSI & MSI BIOS screens display normally, then BOOT.INI appears. After I select one of my NT-type OS's (NT4, W2K, WXP), there is a 30-second delay between the time I press the Enter key at the BOOT.INI screen and the time the OS actually starts to boot. (The BOOT.INI countdown time is limited to 5 seconds. I am *not* talking about this time.)
    Since the same hardware was transferred from another installation (with a non-MSI mb) in which the same Adaptec drivers were used but this 30-second delay did not occur, the delay appears to be due to the MSI BIOS. Interestingly, W98 is also installed on this hd and it appears in the BOOT.INI list. When I start up W98, the 30-second delay does not occur -- as soon as I press the Enter key, W98 starts to boot.
    Other end users have complained about this same boot delay. See the post "Windows 2000 boot problem" found in the MSI user forum here: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/e_service/forum/viewindex.php?threadid=6970&boardid=10&page=1
    I'd estimate our chances of success at 1%. Still, it's far better to complain and not be heard than never complain. That way, we get to complain even more.  

  • Windows partition boots to Mac OS through startup disk.

    In the startup disk window, both my mac and windows partitions are visible. However, both list the Mac OS. Choosing the windows partition boots into the Mac side. I am still able to boot into windows using the option key at start up. How can I change the startup disk OS to get the windows partition in the start up disk to boot to windows?

    Hello! Yes, it should work fine to use disk utility to format the drive to HFS+. Tom

  • New Hard Drive, Mac partition cloned and boots fine, but I can't seem to get my BOOTCAMP (windows) partition to boot!  Any ideas?

    Hello all!
    I got a new hard drive for my Mac Book Pro and an enclosure so I could clone the old partitions on to the new drive.
    So I...
    Put the new hard drive in the enclosure.
    Booted up off an install disk and ran disk utility.
    Copied the Mac and Bootcamp partitions over to the new drive that was connected VIA USB.
    Turned off the computer, took the old hard drive out and put it in the enclosure.
    Put the new hard drive in the Mac Book Pro.
    Booted into Mac OSX with no problem.
    When I rebooted held down the option key to boot into the windows side, it didn't show up as an option.
    When I went back into the Mac side, I loaded Disk Utility and saw that I had the Mac partition, the BOOTCAMP partition, and a bunch of unallocated space.  When I went into the System Preferences and set the target boot drive to the BOOTCAMP partition and restarted, I got some crazy error about there not being any bootable info on it.
    That's where I am at.  I have found other posts with people who are having the same problem, but I have yet to find a solution that doesn't involve me buying some 3rd party software.  I know it has something to do with (what is called in Microsoft world) the Master Boot Record, but I don't know how to modify that to reflect that the BOOTCAMP partition is a bootable logical drive.  I remember in MS DOS land there was some command line FDSK /something command that you would run (I think it was /MBR) to reset the MBR.  To me though, all of these terms are shadowy figures in the Ether.
    What do I do???
    -Ricardo
    p.s.  I read somewhere to boot off the windows 7 disk and run the system repair tools. I tried that and no change.

    I got it. It CAN be done. At least on 10.6
    How I made it happen (for free) on Snow Leopard:
    1) partition, dupe etc all that jazz that you know. Make the mac side work, which it seems we've all been able to do no issues. I used SuperDuper! It worked just fine. (Had it on a disk. I assume you could use any other free way of doing this.)
    2) New hard drive running, I used bootcamp assistant to partition the new drive for a new Bootcamp. I don't know if it's necessary to make the new partition this way for some reason, but it's what the process ultimately included, so maybe try without, but it worked with.
    3) Natively running original drive on the windows side. Used DirveImage XML to clone windows partition onto new drive connected externally.
    4) Back on new hard drive running natively. (Sorry for all the switching.) You'll note that the new Bootcamp partition is NOT bootable at this point. It won't come up in the usual 'alt on startup' boot menu.
    Download rEFInd and install on mac side. Technically this is freeware or w/e, but for the love of god, throw money at this man. He totally deserves it.
    5) Restarting the computer, rEFInd's boot manager finally recognizes windows. But you'll find windows is a little messed up and still won't quite boot. Get out your Windows CD and pop it in. Do the 'alt boot' thing. Your boot menu options are now "EFI Manager," "Bootcamp," and "Windows Disk." Or some such. Holy Crap! It recognizes Windows!
    6) Boot to the CD and tell it to repair the windows volume. It will. My computer also had to do a disk check next time I booted to Windows, which took for-stupid-ever, but eventually worked. (I went to bed in between.)
    7) Everything is running smoothly. Plus, you get the rEFInd boot manager, which is also great.
    Deets: I have a late 2010 MBP 13". Snow leopard/Windows 7 32-bit (long story) Moved from original 320GB seagate momentus to new 750GB Seagate Momentus XT.
    Feel free to share/copy&paste this solution as you see useful. Cheers!

  • Mac dies on boot, every time - but bootcamp Windows partition still runs

    Hi there,
    I hope someone can give a bit of advice.
    I have a 17" Intel iMac, Core 2 Duo, the old white style, running OSX 10.4 Tiger.
    When I got it I set up a smallish partition (80GB, the hard drive is 500GB) using the Bootcamp beta and installed Vista Home Premium on the partition. I went along for a while happily switching between the two. However, I am now completely incapable of booting into OSX.
    When the computer is turned on, the Mac chime sounds, then it thinks for a second or two, and goes straight into Vista. If I hold down Option to go into Bootcamp and choose which OS to run, it will let me. However if I choose the Mac partition, the computer thinks for a sec, then switches itself off.
    I've tried launching in safe mode. This doesn't work, the computer just boots into Vista.
    I've tried inserting the Tiger install disk to run Disk Utility (holding C when you turn on), but the same thing happens - it boots in Vista.
    I've tried launching in single user mode, but the same thing happens.
    I've tried running Disk Warrior, but can't.
    I've tried Cmd/Opt/Shift/Del to force it to run from the CD, but it just turns off.
    Basically, I have the install disks for OSX and Vista, and I have everything backed up on an external HD, so I want to do a complete fresh install of OSX and start again - I might purchase Leopard and use its version of Bootcamp (because it's not beta, and would hopefully be more secure from this kind of thing).
    Is there anything else I can do to make this thing run Disk Utility? I don't want to pay repair costs if I can somehow avoid it.
    Thank you very much.

    But there can't be much wrong with the HD if the Windows partition runs fine.
    Sort of, sort of not, depending how you look at things... one bit going astray in the wrong place can cause anything to happen.

  • Bootcamp Windows 7 Install Problem

    Hi,
    I am having problems Installing Windows 7 via Bootcamp on My Macbook Pro 13" Early 2011 (running Mavericks) and was wondering if anyone could help/offer advice.
    I took out the optical drive and put in an SSD a while ago, and now I want to install Windows 7 on the SSD. So firstly I tried installing it using a Windows 7 disc and an external optical drive but apparently you can't install it using that method (when you try to install it comes up with a blank screen and blinking cursor). Next I made a bootable USB using an ISO image, and tried to install via the BCA. But when I restart and try to install, it comes up with a black screen saying there is no bootable drive present; I have even tried holding down alt on start up to see what options I have for booting but all I have is the recovery drive and my SSD.
    One thing I have read is that I can buy an external SuperDrive, amend the coding in the terminal (or somewhere) which will make the drive compatible with my mac, and then install Windows 7 via Disc through BCA that way. Does any one know if this will work before I purchase one?
    Does anyone know of any other methods?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    On Macs with built-in Optical drives, there is no supported method of installing Windows, if the Optical drive has been removed. There are possible solutions, but there are convoluted.
    Here is an example - http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=20584499#post20584499
    You can put back your Optical drive temporarily, and install Windows.

  • During Windows install, says the Bootcamp Windows partition is incorrect file system and won't install

    I had another Macbook Pro retina which I installed Windows 8 on with no problems via bootcamp.  I just updated to the late 2013 model of the Macbook Pro, and attempted to do the same thing but have had problems.  I create the partition for Windows with Bootcamp, restart the computer, and after I enter my security key in the Windows installation screen it comes to the screen where you have to select the appropriate installation drive.  When I select the drive I created for Windows, it says that it can't install due to the file system.  I have no idea why I'm having this problem because I had done this once before....I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong and I'm at a loss.
    If anyone can point me in the right direction I will greatly appreciate it...also let me know if there are differences from the early 2013 model and late 2013 model that would've created this problem.  Thanks!!
    Robert

    Well, here is what happened...
    Somehow in making a Windows partition then removing the partition so many times I created an error where it only showed 1/2 of my hard drive...like it was starting to create the second half for the windows side and ran into an error.
    So this turned out to be a blessing in disguise, because what I had to do was go to "Command + R" when I was starting up and format the entire drive, all 500 gb.  This formatted the whole drive and must've erased whatever was causing the trouble.
    Of course, then I had to reinstall OS X, and reinstall my Time Machine backup, but then I opened bootcamp and created the Windows partition again.  This time, when I ran the EFI installer you were referring to on the far right (which I had tried before), it allowed me to click next and continue once I selected the Windows partition.  Thank God!  It must've fixed whatever file system error was hanging it up there every time....because it's installing now.
    What I would suggest if all else fails, just format the whole dang thing.  Then try from square one and see if you can install

  • Macbook Pro gray loading screen, only windows partition boots

    I have a macbook pro mid 2010 running Mavericks 10.9.1. Upon start up I get the gray screen with the loading bar/circle. I tried to start it using safe mode but it says there are directories, and files missing. I can only boot up in the windows 7 partition of the hard drive. I can access the Macintosh HD files through the windows partition but I can't boot up into the hard drive. When I start it using recovery mode, disk utility displays the Macintosh HD as unmounted and I can't mount it. Running disk verification says there is an error and to try disk repair. Disk repair says there is an error and to restore the disk and reinstall OSX. I have everything backed up but I can't seem to restore the Macintosh HD and can't re-partion the hard drive into one partition.
    I don't think it is a hardware error since I can access the Macintosh HD files and directories, but don't know what else to try.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • GX623 Windows 7 boot problem

    Hi guys, i recently have to reinstall OS on my laptop, and now i am facing "really long boot" problem, all drivers are correctly installed (at least i think so), i am fighting with this problem hole day, so i am pretty mad and tired right now, hope you can give me some advice
    here is a boot trace picture hope it can share some light on this
    i already reinstalled windows seven 3 times today, i tried to update bios to the latest version, even re-flash EC, all with no change :(
    to describe this problem, bios post goes OK, no errors, all fast and smooth, as soon i see windows logo animating on my screen my HDD "stops" working (there is no hdd activity for a long period of time) well that can be seen on trace, and then after 90 seconds (at least trace shows that) it starts booting like before, system loads, and everything is working as it should

  • K8N Neo2 Windows XP Boot problems

    I've recently built a new machine based on the K8N Neo 2  & Athlon 64 3500 and am having intermittant problems during boot  into Windows XP.
    Basically the machine seems to hang just as it gets to the 'Windows XP' logo.  The screen looks blank, but if you look very carefully the logo is displayed very faintly.  I have tried connecting the startup disk to both SATA1 and SATA3 with the same results as at first I thought it may be some kind of driver problem.  I didn't have to install any SATA drivers during the XP install which surprised me.
    I have also run Memtest86 on the two sticks of 512Mb PC3200 Geil Ram which seemed to test OK.
    Once running the machine is stable, its just annoying that it may take 2 or 3 tries to get it up and running.
    Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
    The full spec of the machine is as follows:
    K8N Neo 2
    Athlon 64 3500
    Geil Value PC3200 512Mb x2
    Maxtor Diamond Max 9 80Gb (Boot Disk)
    Maxtor Diamond Max 10 200Gb
    Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600XT

    I will not install the nForce IDE drivers on the (I guess soon) reinstall. I've read that the PS/2 keyboard also could be the badguy in this weird boot problem but I cant understand why and how the keyboard could add time to the bootup sequence only sometimes, I guess that it has something to do with the XP keyboard driver ??..
    Anyone with any other tips is welcome. Other than this weird problem my system runs perfect. MSI Core Center now tells me that my CPU temp is 45% (CPU speed 1004) (Downloading stuff but not doing anything else), CPU speed is according to XP 1.79Ghz and I use the Cool 'n' Quiet function, On what temp should I start to become alarmed and is there some way to setup something in the bios to shut down or warn me when and if the CPU gets to hot ?..
    Thanks for helping a new   MSI user out

  • The Bootcamp windows partition

    Does time machine back up the windows HD partition as well as the leopard partition? Any experience out there? Thanks
    Richard
    apologies if asked/answered---went through lots of pages---did not see

    Here's what's bizzare. On my machine, I can select the windows partition for backup, and TM makes like its going to, but then doesn't. This should get spelled out more clearly, or I shouldn't be able to select it (preferably with some kind of error message). Just lost my windows side yesterday, and guess what? - no back up.

  • Windows 7 boot problems after partitioning Mac Disc

    Hi
    I got a big Problem. I installed Windows 7 with Bootcamp. I have a 600Gb Mac Partition and a 150Gb Bootcamp Partition.
    After Configuring Windows, I switched to the Mac OSX Snow Leopard System. I changed the Main Partition of 600Gb into 3 smaller ones. After this change I can't boot Windows 7 anymore. With the Option Key it doesn't show me the Bootcamp Partition. In the Sys. Preferences under Startup Disk it show me the Windows on Bootcamp Partition, but when I click restart, it shows me only the No System Disk Boot black screen.
    I read a bit in the forum, but I haven't found the problem yet.
    Thx for your help

    Your problem is quite clear and simple: you added and changed the parition numbers and table.
    You want a linux style with a slice for swap, root, usr and data?
    Use Mac's new Recovery - command d on startup.
    Enable viewing hidden partitions in Disk Utility.
    Use Windows DVD to fix and edit BCD
    What you did is not supported. I know XP can't boot unless it is partition #4 or lower.
    There is 200MB GPT, 128MB EFI, HFS+ 600GB would have been 3rd but GPT is zero, only now you have three where there was one.
    Manage all partitions with Disk Utility in OS X
    Check partition table health in Lion's Disk Utility
    BCD for Windows 7 and Lion

  • Mac Pro - Bootcamp Windows 7 x64 problem. No Drives were found. Please help

    Hi,
    I have recently purchase a Mac Pro and I was trying to install windows 7 with bootcamp which i successfully done it on my imac before but somehow after I partition my HDD in bootcamp, inside winodws 7 install page it saids "No drives were found. Click Load Driver to provide a mass storage driver for installtion"
    I have read some previous post but I didn't really get it how people have solved. I have dismount the other 2 HDD but it doesn't seems to work.
    Can someone please help. Is there a way that I can have my windows 7 into my other HDD instead of the Mac OS drives.

    You read the PDF Guide? You have to use Advanced Options to format the FAT volume (BOOTCAMP) to NTFS.
    And yes, pull other drives.
    Personally, I use a separate hard drive for Windows 7 and just pull the others, boot from Windows DVD and install.
    I assume your recent MacPro 5,1 is Mid 2010. If you want to use more than 4GB RAM you will want 64-bit, and if you have dual processor 8 or 12-cores, you'd need Windows 7 Pro.
    As for where you are now, use Boot CAmp Assistant again to remove the partition on your Mac OS boot drive.
    Backup Mac OS to another drive yet? I use SuperDuper or CCC.
    You can format the intended drive in Disk Utility.
    Use Partition tab, Options and change partition table from GUID to Master Boot Record and format the entire drive as FAT. Or use Boot CAmp Assistant to do so. You'll need to shutdown then, not restart, so you can pull your other drives.
