Bootcamp windows installation not installing Windows 7

Hi
I recently installed Windows 7 on my 6months old macbook pro 17 via bootcamp 2,0.
I installed the audio from a driver which I got at realtek.com
But on my previous bootcamp partitions(WIndows XP) I just installed and then booted in windows from my Mac OS X Install DVD(windows support) and everything got installed - including the trackpad(mouse touch pad).
But when I put in the installation DVD in Win 7 I can only choose to install some kind of Macbook Air DVD and network sharing program, which Ive never seen before(I dont have an MB Air either?:S).
My two mac discs that came with my mac is the ''17-inch Macbook Pro Mac OS X Install DVD'' AND ''17-inch Macbook Pro Application Install DVD''.
How do I install the bootcamp drivers, which I need to install in order to get WINDOWS 7 to work properly in my bootcamp partition??
Please send link to drivers etc.

Go to your Apple icon in the top left hand corner and click then choose About this Mac. If the version is 10.5. 0 to 10.5.8 then it’s Leopard. If it’s 10.6.0 to 10.6.2 then it’s Snow Leopard.
What you need is Snow Leopard. If your Mac is 6 months old and you have Leopard then I think you are entitled to a free or a reduced price upgrade.

Windows Installer not installed properly, then boots to safe mode w/no backlight?

I have only used my laptop for about 2 weeks.
I tried to download an Adobe Reader update, and I got a message that said "Windows Installer was not installed correctly."
I retarted my computer, but it would only boot in safe mode.
I tried a System Restore, but I got a message that said "System Restore doesn't appear to be functioning properly."
I tried to do a virus scan (just in case), but my computer will not connect to the internet, so that's not working, either.
I tried to restart once more, but as soon as I went to put my password in, the backlight on the laptop would shut off, and then it would only boot in safe mode.
I put the laptop away for a little while because my life got very busy and I didn't have the time to deal with it. Today, when I turned the laptop on to try and troubleshoot, it booted normally, and successfully- no safe mode, backlight still on- and then it told me that System Restore had worked.
What gives?
Anyone have any ideas what happened / what I did to make this happen / how I can avoid it in the future / if the computer is actually going to function properly or if it needs to be sent back?
Thanks!

Hello SuperNova and welcome to community,
When you restore the system earlier to back date it did not get complete and also Windows 7 has startup repair option which fixes the common startup bugs.

Windows installer not installed?

hi a message comes out when i try to delete iTunes 6 and try to install itunes 7.02 or whatever so it says like windows installer can not be found pls contact suppot for assistance or you could be running in safe mode. SOMEBODY PLS HELP I CANNOT DOWNLOAD SONGS TO MY IPOD WITHOUT ITUNES 7!

I had the exact same problem and almost threw my PC out the window. I kept getting messages that my window installer could not be located and that I might be operating in safe mode. I called Apple support and was told, this was a new problem and could not help me. The only thing they did do was direct me to the Microsoft Windows website. Do this: Go to the Microsoft Windows website and type in "error 1719" at the search bar. It will come up with two fix methods. Start with the first one, if that doesn't work, do Method 2 also. This helped me and I was able to remove my old itunes version and install the 7.0 version successfully. Apple is selling products that they cannot support on a windows platform. Your best bet is to turn to your friend BILL GATES and utilize the Microsoft tools to fix your problem.

Windows installer not installed correctly

I went into safe mode to attempt to uninstall some programs and i got this message. I also cannot seem to install any updates and i was wondering if this is why? Ive tried hitting start, going to services.msc and clicking on windows installer to change to manual but its already on that. Please help.

Hi there soranfromorebro,
I would recommend taking a look at the article below.

Reinstalling Mavericks depends on several factors:
if you erased your recovery partition
what OS originally came on your Mac.
I'll assume you don't have a backup available that you made before your mishap, because you didn't mention it.
That's really the take home message here: have a backup!
If you still have your recovery partition:
boot into the recovery partition (command R at restart)
use the recovery partition to reinstall Mavericks. see: OS X: About OS X Recovery
if you do not still have your recovery partition, then it depends on whether your Mac originally came with installer disks or not.
If it originally came with installer disks, you would boot from the installer disks, erase your HD, and then reinstall the OS that is on the installer disks, and then upgrade as necessary until you get to Mavericks.
If your mac did not originally come with installer disks, but you managed to erase your recovery partition, then you can try to boot into internet recovery (option-command-R at restart), and use internet recovery to erase your HD and reinstall the OS that originally came with your computer, and then upgrade to Mavericks if you need to. See: Hands on with Mountain Lion's OS X Recovery and Internet Recovery | Macworld
(the reference refers to ML but it applies just as well to Mavericks).

Touchsmart IQ524 hard drive crashed. Ran Recovery CDs and I get an error Windows can not install on

I have an HP Touchsmart IQ524 which the hard drive crashed. I replaced the hard drive with the exact same model. I run the Recovery CDs (which I purchased from HP website) and it goes all the way through the process and after the reboot I get a message that "Windows can not install software on this hardware" - so it never completes the process. I have formatted the hard drive and bought and returned 3 hard drives. Any suggestions and assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Hi:
I love recovery disks when they work, and HATE them when they don't.
Fortunately, I have a workaround for you which isn't as good as a recovery disk, but it is better than pulling your hair out, and getting nowhere.
First of all, before you try this, did you perform the recovery with only the keyboard and mouse connected?
Did you buy the same size or larger hard drive?
If your answer to either question is no, then that may be the problem.
Now to the workaround...
If you're up to a slight but rewarding challenge you can make your own if you can read your 25 character Vista product key on the PC.
Just download the 3 files you need at the link below, and read all of the instructions to create a bootable DVD installation disk using imageburn.
Disregard the part of the text under the first screen shot about "extract the files to the Vista folder."
The files were already extracted to that folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screen shot.
The other thing I noticed is on the 4th screen shot, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in myself, and then the other codes automatically populated.
When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message that about a WIM file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.
I selected No, make the ISO file.
It was not that hard to do. I burned both the 64 bit disk and the 32 bit disk in case I ever need them.
I tested both of them on my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, they worked perfectly.
When you enter the product key, it knows what version of Vista you have.
http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-microsoft-windows-v....
After you successfully install Vista, you can then install the drivers from your PC's support and driver page.

HT3986 In using bootcamp to partition and install Windows on my computer, the partition step stops and sends me a message that "files cannot be moved" so partitioning is incomplete. I am stuck. Please help.

In using bootcamp to partition and install Windows on my computer, I keep hitting a snag. Message says that partitioning can not be completed because files can not be moved. I have tried several things but nothing seems to be helping to move the process along. What should I do?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
In most of the cases, that message appears when there's a problem with the filesystem, so you have to repair the disk. This doesn't mean that the hard drive is damaged.
First of all, open  > About this Mac, and check Version. If it's 10.5 or 10.6, insert the Mac OS X DVD of the version you are using and press C key while your Mac is starting. If it's 10.7 or 10.8, press Command and R keys while your Mac is starting. After doing this:
1. Go to Utilities menu > Disk Utility (if you have 10.5 or 10.6) or open Disk Utility (10.7 and 10.8).
2. Choose Macintosh HD in the sidebar and repair the disk.
3. Restart, open Boot Camp Assistant and follow the steps to install Windows on the Mac

Hey sndlot,
Follow the steps in this link to resolve the issue:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open

When you uninstall, the items you uninstall and the order in which you do so arearticularly important:
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.

"Windows Installation not Successful. Your previous version of Windows is being restored."

I received the message "Windows Installation not Successful. Your previous version of Windows is being restored." at end of Windows 8 installation. I do not know what caused the installation to fail.

I have a HP Touchsmart Laptop. Can I uninstall Windows 7 and install windows 8.1 ?

I want to uninstall windows 7 and install windows 8.1 on my hp touchsmart. Will the touch features work on teh new installation?

Hi,
Yes and no. Why ? because it will work with the right driver, won't work if can't find the right driver. How can we know you can get a right driver when we don't know your computer. HP has dozens if not hundreds of models/products called Touchsmart.
Regards.

Windows 8.1 - install windows xp in hyper-v

Ive setup hyper-v on my desktop pc (Windows 8.1 64bit) and Im trying to install windows xp. I followed these instructions
http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/windows-and-office/install-windows-xp-in-windows-8-client-hyper-v/6732/
and have the virtual machine running, seemingly ok. I have created a windows xp install disk and inseretd it into the cd drive and set the operating system to install from cd (my 'E' drive). whenever I start up the vm I get this message
'Boot failure. Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device'
The cd contains the setup for xp and it runs ok. I dont know where to go from here, as far as I can see everything is setup ok, but I cant install XP. Can anyone help ?

Hi,
First,we need to confirm the followin setting.
1.If you want to install Windows XP, we must select generation 1 virtual machines.
2.Physical CD/DVD drive setting.
Also,I suggest you install XP by ISO file to check the result.
