Can install Windows 7 Pro, but not Boot Camp drivers

I have used Boot Camp assistant to install Windows 7 Pro (64 bit), and built the USB drive with Boot Camp drivers.
Installed on a separate drive on my Mac Pro.
When I install the drivers and reboot, I get an error. Basically Windows says there is an error and it needs to run System Restore in order to roll back to the previous status (ie. remove Boot Camp drivers).
I am using the latest Boot Camp drivers for a Mac Pro (4,1) and 64 bit Windows.
I tried downloading the drivers from Apple's website in Windows, unzipped and installed - same issue.
Windows is not yet registered.... (might that be an issue?)
Grateful for some ideas. I have previously had Win7 running on this machine, and even Win 8 (which crashed - necessitating a roll back to Win 7 whcih is nicer).
TIA

the drivers have a root setup.exe if people have problems with that they can manually navigate to the sub dirs and run the driver installs for the various hardware manually
the various driver exe install will only install if they detect the hardware is there so it's safe to run installers for say a video card ones computer does not have
and if one of the driver don't work of the hardware related to it is defect in some way you can identify which one as the restore would happen right over that driver install
that windows is not registered should not play apart as far as I know

There are several possibilities.
1. You do not have contiguous free disk space.
2. BCA has failed, or you may have a Fusion drive which is causing problems.
3. You have incorrect permissions on the disk.
4. Can you boot in OS X Safe Mode - OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support?

How can I partition internal HDD after installing Windows 7 Professional via Boot Camp 4.0?

I recently purchased MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2011) model with OS X v10.7.2 Lion installed. I've upgraded to OS X v10.7.3 Lion and updated all other software.
I require Windows 7 for some Windows based softwares that do not support Mac OS X. Therefore, used Boot Camp 4.0 to install Windows 7 and then tried partitioning single internal HDD to have 3 partitions (4 total including BOOTCAMP partition). Disk Utility created a 648.5MB partition and then I was able to create 3 other partitions of custom sizes. After applying these changes, I got an error message that said selected volume size is too small. I resized this 648.5MB partion to a custom size and had total 4 partitions, including BOOTCAMP.
After reapplying these changes, BOOTCAMP partition was removed and I was left with only 3 partitions and empty space.
I've tried several different ways to partition the disk, all in vein. Is there a way I can partition my single internal HDD after installing Windows 7 Professional via Boot Camp 4.0?

You can't do what you want with GUI utilities, which will only allow a total of 4 partitions due to the limitation of MBR needed to support Windows. Those four partitions: EFI System (hidden), Mac OS, Recovery HD (hidden), Windows. So with Lion, you only get two visible partitions if you're going to use Windows with BootCamp. You can't make anymore with the included graphical tools.
If you need more partitions you'll need to use something like GPT fdisk (gdisk) to create the partitions in the GPT first. Then add the Windows partition only to the MBR and flag it as bootable. gdisk can be googled and downloaded for Mac OS X off sourceforge. It is not a GUI tool.
You should read this:

Can't install windows 8.1 with boot camp

I'm trying to install windows 8.1 with boot camp and this is the message I keep getting. I've tried several times and every time I get this. I have a 2015 MacBook Pro. I've tried installing from a usb with ISO and also from a oem windows dvd. Any help would be appreciated.

Excellent.
Windows installation has four or five reboots, and the Apple BootManager tracks such reboots via the Mac NVRAM, otherwise the next reboot will cause OS X to boot rather than Windows. It is also used to set up some variables used to pass information to the CSM-BIOS layer. If an installation has failed, the variables do not reflect the current and clean state of the machine. A NVRAM reset will re-initialize these variables for the next attempt.

Just installed windows 7 Ultimate using Boot Camp. Problem is when I chose to boot the windows partition, I get the windows icon on the sreen showing that it is starting, but few second after I get a black screen

Just installed windows 7 Ultimate using Boot Camp. Problem is when I choose to boot the windows partition, I get the windows icon on the screen showing that it is starting, but few second after, I get a blank screen. I suspect a driver (screen) issue, since I also installed Parallell using the boot camp partition and that works fine.
Do anybody out there has an ideal of what to do to solve this issue.
Thanks

Install Windows 8.1 with Boot Camp

Greetings you all,
I've been trying to install WIndows 8(.1) on my MacBook Pro early 2011, but without any success. I downloaded the .ISO of Windows, stored it on my external HDD, downloaded the software via Boot Camp to host Windows (I'm sorry I'm french so I'll have to translate everything) and put it on another external HDD, and when I plug them to my Mac and start the installation of Windows, it doesn't detect the USB.
What should I do? If possible, avoiding any installation of the disk image on a DVD.
Thanks.

Trouble installing Windows 8.1 with Boot Camp

I'm having an issue installing Windows 8.1 under Boot Camp on one of the new MacBook Pros (late 2013). After sever troubles (and not a few tribulations) fighting with the stupid Windows installer program (couldn't Microsoft just let me download a freakin' ISO?) I got the installer running after creating the partition, but at the end of the Windows install, I get:
Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed.
Googling around for a solution I found several references to UEFI problems, along with a couple different procedures that were claimed to work. Unfortunately, these procedures were pretty lengthy and require several third party tools -- and I'm not positive they're even applicable because none of them dealt with the newest model of MacBook Pro.
So, can anyone out there point me towards a procedure that's known to work with the new models?
Thanks.

OK... Finally solved the problem during my winter break... took almost 1.5 months Actually we users are creating the problem... Bootcamp is OK... our late 2013 Mac is OK... but Apple is't as it's not giving us the solution Now let me clear concisely what actually occurs behind the problem.
When you open bootcamp to install Windows, you get a popup window. Then you click continue... then you choose the options among the three which suits to your intention. Then if you chose to create a installation disk or/and download the Windows Support Software, bootcamp does so. Then the nextPROBLEMETIC STEP comes! Yes! you got it! This step creates the actual problem: Partitioning the hard disk for installing Windows. Before bootcamp starts partitioning, a simple POPUP WINDOW will inform you whether you will get the f*cking "Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed" message or not during your windows installation! Andddd... the popup window is here:
Soooo... super duper simple fact: if you don't get this popup window, you're going to get that error. Because this HELPER TOOL will simulate proper environment for installing Windows in your Mac
Now be sure:
1. You just have one partion in your Hard Disk before partitioning it into two for installing Windows
2. This PARTITIONING SHOULD ONLY BE DONE BY BOOTCAMP if you want your Windows in EFI mode. The way jarvil told us is for BIOS mode. I'm not going to explain here what is EFI and what is BIOS. Simply keep in mind that EFI is latest, better and faster for booting your Windows
That's it guys! If you don't get that popup window, follow the instructions:
1. Turn your hard disk into a single partition by using Bootcamp/Disk Utility. Bootcamp is recommended
2. Take a flash drive, format it, and then open Bootcamp
3. Choose all the three options:
     Create a Windows 7 or later vertion install disk
     Download the latest Windows Support software from Apple
     Install or remove Windows 7 or later version
Yes! We are going to create a new installation disk...
4. I know you are clever enough to guess what should you do now! Just enter your password when you get THAT SPECIAL POPUP WINDOW!Then Mac will restart after partitioning your hard disk!
5. Do noting untill the windows installation window comes
6. Go forward pressing Next, putting serial, and accepting the agreement that we never read
7. Select advanced installation... I mean the second option
8. Now find the partition named BOOTCAMP
9. Select it and Format it!
10. Click Next
You are done! Your Mac will install windows without any problem or error message After installation, if you find that your drivers aren't working, go to the installation disk and open the folder named BOOT CAMP. Open the exe named Setup... Install the drivers and restart after completion... Your Mac now owns Windows in EFI mode like mine!
That's all I have known killing my winter break! Thanks everyone! Take care!

Installing Windows 7 RC1 with Boot Camp AND Parallels?

I have a 24" iMac (2009 model) and have successfully installing Windows 7 RC1 using Boot Camp. No problems at all and everything is working fine. But now I'm contemplating purchasing Parallels and using Windows 7 in a window.
I just need to know the steps involved and how this works. First I purchase and install Parallels. Then I run it and somehow tell it to use my Boot Camp partition for the VM, right? In this way, I'm assuming I don't actually have to install Windows 7 again or make another partition, right? Once I get the VM installed, then I can either boot to Windows 7 from startup OR boot from within Mac OS using Parallels and it would be the same?
If I can do it this way, can anyone point me to step-by-step instructions on how to choose the right settings in Parallels? I have found instructions for installing Windows 7 using Boot Camp and Parallels separately, but not how to use the Boot Camp install for the VM in Parallels.

Wow, it was much easier than I thought it would be! Downloaded the trial of Parallels. Installed it and pointed it to my Boot Camp partition with Windows 7 installed on it. And minutes later, I'm up and running with Windows 7 in Parallels. Sound didn't work at first, but after I did a Windows Update, it installed the correct driver and now everything is working great. I can't believe how smooth this thing runs within Leopard. I allocated 1GB of RAM for WIndows 7 and it's seems fine so far, but I really haven't run any resource-intensive apps yet.

While i installed windows 8.1 by boot camp there is message no bootable device

S-Video adapter and analog TV works with OSX 10.5 but not Boot Camp 2.1(XP)

I bought a mini-DVI to S-video or composite adapter to use with an older analog TV. Works great with OSX 10.5 no problems. However, I currently have Windows XP running with Boot Camp 2.1 and it wont work with the TV. If I ever get an image it's three black and white fuzzy and distorted iterations of the monitor.
Since it works with OSX but not with XP i'm thinking its some sort of boot camp issue and not a problem with the hardware or adapter. Therefore, it should be solvable, right? Does anybody know how to fix this? Will upgrading to snow leopard and boot camp 3.1 solve it?

Perform a custom install from the Mac OS X 10.5 disks and install only that component if possible; if not, use Pacifist to install it. In either case, rerun the combo updater for your Mac OS X version afterwards.

Can't install windows it says the boot camp partition is not formatted as a NTFS file structure

Using boot camp assistant it gets to the point of installing windows 7 and it won't because the boot camp partition is not a NTFS file structure. It also seems strange to me that there are 5 partitions would have expect ether 2 or 3. Please help this is very frustrating.
Thanks in advance

Open, if not so already, the Windows formatter. Identify the BC Windows partition. It will be the one listed with the proper size you created and/or will be labeled as a C: drive. Be careful you select the right one or you may be corrupting the entire drive.
Format the partition as NTFS.

10.5.5 Installed but not boot camp utility found

Hey Everyone,
So I am a college student, also a MBP owner, who works at my school's "Help Desk." I had someone come in the other day with a MacBook Pro 2.16 Ghz Core Duo processor, so it must have come with 10.4 I think (Correct me if I'm wrong, please), but the machine had 10.5. She was looking to have boot camp set up except when I went to run the utility it certainly was not on there.
From there I tried running updates to see if that might update it or something and still nothing.
So basically, I am just wondering how I might go about putting boot camp on there. Would 10.5 have to be reinstalled entirely? Or is there an independent installer that could be an option?
I'd appreciate any help that I get.
Thank you,
Smerky
