Can't boot windows 7 installed by bootcamp

On my iMac I installed windows 7 x64 professional by bootcamp. I did the instalation with 4GB RAM. Windows boots perfectly!
After that i change my RAM for 16 GB (4x4GB same plates). OS X booting is still perfect, but windows cant boot and it shows me only mistakes, and it offers me to make recovery. by the way with 16GB RAM recovery fails too.
P.S. i have bootcamp 5.0

I find the solve. i have the same type of RAM-plates but 2 of them was produced earlier than the second one.
to resolve my problem you need to install you RAM-plates correctly.
i have two plates A-type(earlier) and two plates B-type(later)
iMac as everyone known has 4 slots for RAM
       Left                       Right
|        1L(1)         |      |       1R(3)       |
|        2L (2)        |      |       2R(4)       |
When i placed wy RAM this way
       Left                       Right
|        1L(A)         |      |       1R(A)       |
|        2L (B)        |      |       2R(B)       |
my windows didnt want to start, and send me a request for recovery
But today when i placed my RAM this way
       Left                       Right
|        1L(A)         |      |       1R(B)       |
|        2L (A)        |      |       2R(B)       |
problems gone.
maybe its a problem of only newbies in Mac-using? So am I.

HT4818 I have installed bootcamp that worked properly. Then I have partitioned the OS X 10.8.2 and installed another OS X 10.8.2 and I have got two MAC boot options and Bootcamp disappeared from the Option menu. How can I boot Windows again and keep both

I have installed bootcamp by the bootcamp assistant and worked properly.
Then I have partitioned the OS X 10.8.2 and installed another Mountain Lion System and I have got two MAC boot options and Bootcamp disappeared from the Option menu. However, Bootcamp still remained in the Startup Disk in the System Preferences. When I tried to boot Bootcamp using the Startup Disk it did not boot and received a message that there is no bootable device. I have not lost any data and can read Bootcamp partition from both OS X systems. Please advise how can I boot Windows / Bootcamp again? Thank you.

Recommendation 1: Use a VM for this. It's essentially a giant C.F. to do this with native booting, and is potentially fragile.
But if you're going to ignore that and do this anyway, realizing that it can break anytime in particular with OS upgrades, and that it's very difficult to impossible to resize the three volumes once you've installed the systems:
1. create three partitions, setting each to be the size for OS X copy 1, copy 2, and Windows respectively. The Windows partition needs to be set to MS-DOS format (actually FAT32) which later in the Windows installer you'll reformat as NTFS. Do not use Boot Camp Assistant to resize/partition the disk, it simply won't work for this use case.
2. install OS X copy 1
3. install OS X copy 3
4. Use gdisk (available at sourceforge) which is a command line only application, to create a new hybrid MBR adding only the last partition (Windows) to the hybrid MBR and setting it to be bootable. As a concequence you will not be able to see/share either OS X volume from within Windows. The Windows NTFS volume will be visible from within OS X.
5. Install Windows to the only partition its installer should see (confirm size), you'll need to format it NTFS first, and I suggest using the fast format option if available.

HT3986 How do I right click on Windows installed using Bootcamp?

How do I right click on Windows installed using Bootcamp?

It should work the same way it does in OSX, but for it to work correctly, you need to install the Boot Camp drivers in Windows. You can do this by using the Boot Camp Assistant in OSX, then creating the "Windows support software (drivers)" package. Follow the instructions there, then use the resulting thumbdrive to install the drivers and apps into Windows. Then you should be able to two-finger-click the touchpad or right-click your mighty mouse or other two-button-enabled mouse.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4407 for more info on this.
Caveat: I've done this, and I've found that the two-finger-click in Windows is iffy. That is, it frequently triggers a left-click function instead of right-click. :-/

Dual-booting Windows XP without Bootcamp

Is it possible to dual-boot Windows XP without Bootcamp, using another boot loader like LILO or Grub, or some other? Is it possible to do this assuming I do NOT want to install linux anywhere? Can anyone point me in the right direction with a HOWTO or something? Again, I do NOT want to install Linux, only OSX and Windows XP (no "triple boot"). Thanks.

Yes, just find a distro that supports macintel or intel mac. I think ubuntu has one, also keep in mind bootcamp has nothing to do with your macs firmware nore is it any type of bootloader. It partitions the HD, and allows you to create a CD with drivers on it. Might also consider parallels given the limited amount of space available on the macbooks. Having your linux install as a single document on the hd can be handy if you start to run out of room on the macbook.

Bootmgr problem - can't boot windows

Hi.
Please help me with my boot problem. I cannot access my computer, windows will not boot.
I am running windows 7.
Upon starting up my laptop, I get the message "bootmgr is compressed - press ctrl alt del to restart"
I have searched for the problem around the internet, and it seems to be due to people compressing their hard drive to save space and cancelling half way through.
I have not done this- I was playing around with a SLIC Loader program and installed it by mistake, now I can't boot windows.
I have tried using my windows 7 DVD to repair the startup but it didn't work.
I have also tried to restore but I did not set any restore points.
I have tried using some command prompt bootmgr reset procedures which also did not work.
Can I somehow get a backup of bootmgr and restore it?
Please help
Thanks

Hi
I assume your boot manager is damage. Probably by installing the SLIC Loader program
My idea was simply; boot from Win 7 disk and then try to get into the command console.
There you could use the command FIXMBR
But if this will not help then you should take your Windows disk or Toshiba recovery disk and should reinstall the whole system again.

I can't boot windows in my iMac late 2011 as my internal cd reader does not work

i can't boot windows in my iMac late 2011 as my internal cd reader does not work

Which copy or version of Windows? and how where was it purchased?
my window installed itself perfectly on another computer.
One copy and you want to activate on two computers?
With 16GB, it will try to create 16GB hibernation file, 24GB page file, and need 20-30GB for the OS, plus room for temp, cache, applications, 9GB just temp to install SP1 update(s).
did you create 80GB or larger partition?
also, some macs with ssd + hard drive have issues, and of course you need Windows 7 64-bit home premium (Pro to use more).
OWC has up to 32GB, not cheap.

Can't boot into Mac OS after Windows install via Bootcamp

Hello.
Last night I installed Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro early 2011 via Bootcamp.After some major complications I was able to finally install Windows 7 and boot into it. Now I can't boot back into my "Macintosh HD" partition, it shows a no entry sign.
Hard Disk : 320GB Internal Sata
Partitions : 3 -> Mac, Bootcamp and 10.8 Recovery Partition
The good part is that I can still access the Mac OS partition in Windows and Windows is working perfectly fine. As a matter of fact right now I'm on the bootcamped windows.
I have a full time machine backup but still I am looking for a way to solve this without formatting the HDD.
Things I have tried:
1. Resetting NVRAM and PRAM
2. Booting into 10.8 recovery partition and running DU.
SMART Status : Verified
"Macintosh HD" grayed and Not Mounted
Successful Verify Permissions (Twice)
Is there a way to solve this? Though the Mountain Lion partition shows when I press the Alt/option key on startup but I can't somehow boot into it.
Thanks

Your problem is OS X is refusing to boot.
There is still a bootable volume on the Macintosh HD partition, it's just not working.
You can #8 Reinstall Just OS X while command r booted from the Recovery partition, as long as you don't use Disk Utility to erase the Macintosh HD partition, your files and programs remain.
Hook the computer via Ethernet cable to a router (or modem, power reset required) with a fast relaible internet connection, you will need your AppleID and password to reinstall OS X.

How can I restore Windows 7 to Bootcamp partition - not reformat the entire hard drive?

Hello Apple (Mac) Community,
I originally posted this question over on answers.microsoft, but no help was forthcoming. Hope someone can help me with a problem that's (almost) making me nuts! I teach graphics to college students. In brief: I run Windows 7 Pro 64 on a Mac Pro tower, along with Snow Leopard (OSX). Windows is loaded on one partition of a 1TB drive. The other partition is a Mac backup. The Mac OS is on a different drive. Everything was going swimmingly with both OS, until recently. Unfortunately, the drive with Windows showed problems and I determined that the HD was either toast or needed a total reformat. My Mac data was all backed-up. Now I wanted to backup Windows so I can easily get back to the relatively happy point of my Windows 7 experience (drivers loaded, dual monitors all working, etc.). I did some online searching and the recommendation was to create a "system image" of the existing Windows 7 install by attaching an external drive, formatting that to NTFS and selecting "backup to image" in Windows. I did that and also took the opportunity to "create a backup disc" on a DVD. (Windows recommended). Next I rebooted back to Mac OS and completely reformatted the problem 1TB disc to a single partition, zero all data, just to see if it would actually reformat. It all worked! So far, so good. Next I used Bootcamp to create two partitions, one for Windows. I then restarted using the Win7 Pro (64) install disc, reformatted the Bootcamp disk to NTFS (as required) and installed Windows 7. After all that is completed and all working, I next try to use the restore from image function while booted in Windows. I'm instructed to restart from the Win install disc, which I do. Here's where things get difficult. When I try to choose restore from image, at that point the installer asks which drives to I want to exclude... but does not show partitions, only full HDs. I do not want to reformat the entire 1TB drive. I only want Windows on the 120gb Bootcamp partition (which is already formatted for Windows BTW). I spent a lot of time online reading through articles with users having the same frustration.
So here (at long last) is my question: How can I either restore Windows just to a Bootcamp partition... using "Windows System Image" or if that can't be done... can I somehow import all of the settings, etc. from the "image" (image is on external HD) into a fresh Win 7 install? So far the "backup disc" also seems useless. I can't even boot to Windows from it. BTW Apple folks: the only response on the MS side was that some "expert" simply posted links on how to install Windows and restore... not helpful with my particular problem of restoring to a partition.
Any help would be appreciated! Hopefully some help that even a Mac user / new Windows user could understand would be better! Thanks!

WinClone 3 is OS X and saves Windows image it makes for restore - that should work but you will have to try and you would need to make a new image unless it also works with a native Windows system restore image. It is now supported and has come a long way.
http://www.twocanoes.com/
Paragon Clone OS works and does disk-to-disk clone just like CCC you end up with two bootable drives. But does not work with your setup. It would let you clone and move your Windows install to an SSD or another disk drive though and be bootable.
During its clone process it checks for errors which is very helpful and lets you know - something CCC and others should adopt more of.

I wish for our/my sake you had re-read and rewritten the long 'story' and broken it into a brief list of facts we needed.
OS X
Windows
Backup (though external is much safer) and you want bootable OS X clones as well as TimeMachine

There are a number of things to do like chkdsk and others as well as Windows DVD to do automatic system repairs and find out why.
AppleHFS - the abilty to mount and read HFS volumes can be notorious.
I would rearrange and redo your storage setup and how you use the 4-5 internal hard drive bays.

Can't boot windows - select boot disk and computer goes to sleep

I've got a Mac Pro 3,1
I've had windows 7 installed on an IDE hard drive in the CD bay.
Lately, I was getting BSODs, so I decided to reinstall - I reformatted the hard drive and I'm trying to move forward.
I haven't been able to boot any kind of windows installation disk! USB, DVD, anything!
I select the boot disk on boot up (hold option, select the windows install) and the computer seems to boot (shows the bootcamp logo) then just goes black (like it's sleeping - monitors off, not an 'active black' screen) There is no hard drive noise - this thing is basically off.
I've tried using rEFIt, using different USB drives, DVDs, everything. I can get into rEFIt, select the boot disk - and it's the same problem. Windows won't boot!
What gives? I've had no luck looking online for this issue. Some folks have a 'black screen' with an iMac - but this isn't a driver issue - the computer is not booting!

never mind, I changed the connection to a different usb port and problem solved. Thanks anyway.

Mac OS drives no longer visible, can only boot windows.

I have 4 internal drives and 1 external drive on my Mac Pro. Three drives are Mac OS, on internal drive is XP, and one is Win 7. At the moment I can only boot from the Windows drives. The Mac drives are not visible from boot camp or at startup holding the option button down. I know the cause, but I dont know how to fix it.
I caused the problem while booted into Win 7. I was trying to install VS2010 beta 2. The program failed to install, and I found out the problem was that the installer was trying to access the Mac disks. I removed the drive numbers from the 3 Mac disks, and the installation worked. After I relettered the disks I was able to see them from Win 7 (not XP).
I assume I somehow messed up bootcamp. I have no idea of how to fix this. I would appreciate any help.

We have a BootCamp forum.
Do any of the drives show up in Disk Utility?
Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Repair reports and if DU was able to repair them. This could just be a start in repairs and you may need a better utility to finish the job.

Can't boot os x after bootcamp

Hello.
The problem:
Yesterday I installed windows 7 on my early 2009 (mavericks) mac pro via boot camp.
I have three HD in my mac. One for os x, one for documents, and one for the windows. Before I start bootcamp I formatted my HD into NTFS for Win.
I run the bootcamp and everything went well, until the standard windows partition screen show up. I select the "bootcamp" HD, but i only can continue the installing if I format the hard drive.
The Win7 run well, but now I can't boot into os x.
When I hold down "options", only the windows appear as a selectable option.
I installed bootcamp on windows manually (4.0.4033 according to Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems)
when I try to restart to osx the bootcamp say "there is no bootable volume".
i only see the "bootcamp" HD, and I can't treat the other two.
What I tried
Resetting NVRAM and PRAM
Holding down various key combinations (Options, Command + R, Options + R)
When I take out the "Machintos hd" a flashing folder pic appears.
I don't have the installation disk for os x, and I don't want to uninstall the os x..
There is any solution for my problem?

1. How many physical drives do you have in the MacPro?
2. Was Windows and OS X installed on the same physical drive?
3. In the case of the Tower MacPro with more than one drive, all drives that are not intended for Windows use must be physically removed from drive bays, before Windows is installed.
4. If you cannot see OS X, use an external disk (Firewire or USB with 16GB or more) and install a fresh copy of OS X and both you MacPro and the the disk with Windows can be corrected, if possible.
5. OSX re-installation leaves you files intact, unless you tell the OS X Installer to erase the designated drive.
6. Step 4 can also uses a USB flash drive, if necessary.
The error message is because a drive which was present when Windows was installed (it is stored in the BCD for W7/W8 or boot manager/loader)is no longer available. It is complaining about it.
If you put this drive back, can you boot into Windows successfully? If yes, can you post a screen shot of Control Panel -> System -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management.

My iMac can't boot Windows 7 From USB while my Macbook Pro can do it

I install Windows 7 64 bit and rEFIt into a USB hard disk and hope to boot from my iMac 27" (2010 Mid). However, it shows that no boot deivce is found.
If I plug the SAME disk to my Macbook Pro 17" (2009 Mid), it can boot Windows 7 without any problem.
I tried with Linux and get same result, iMac says no boot device while my Macbook Pro can boot it without problem.
I tried experiment for weeks and still can't get iMac work.
I think it is very abnormal and I wonder if someone can tell me how to fix it or any directory to solve this problem.

My iMac runs snow leopard and my MacBook pro runs Lion. Both of them are updated with latest updated. I just get one external USB hard disk with Windows 7 32 bit installed and magically, my iMac can boot it from rEFIt. However, I don't know what makes it works. I tried to make same configuration, software and steps on other USB hard disks for hundreds times but I can repeat it again. All other attempt can make USB hard disk boot on MacBook Pro but not iMac only.

Can't boot windows. Stuck at Welcome/login

Hello!
I recently purchased a macbook pro retina, mainly for music production but also for some other stuff.
Now the thing is that the music production software that i'm using, does only work with pc. So i decided to
bootcamp my mac so that i can use it as a pc.
So far everything has gone as planned. I can now operate windows 7 on my mac and the Music Software (FL Studio 10)
works as a charm.
It was just recently when i tried to install my external Sound drive (Audiobox USB) that i was experiencing some problems
with the audio. So i googled about the issue and somewhere i read that it could possibly have to do with the USB drivers being out of date.
So i checked the device manager to see the who the developer of the usb drive is (to find updates) ect.
Now when i've found the updates, i try to uninstall the previous USB devices that i have so that i can install the new ones. But somewhere in between uninstalling and installing the new drivers, the computer suddenly freezes. I try to reboot normally and in safe mode,
but when i come to the windows log in screen, i can't type or move my mouse.
I'm not very bright when it comes to computers (especially macs), but after giving it some thought i think that i might have caused an error since i kinda forgot i was operating on a macbook and not Pc. I mean, when using bootcamp you get the "apple drivers for windows" download and that's probably where i should have gone in the first place, to look for updates. Now instead i have tried to manually take away the usb drivers and install the
updates from Intels website.
Someone suggested that i might have uninstalled the Bootcamp usb drivers accidentaly, which i think is true. But if download the "Bootcamp install/repair drivers setup (which will restore all my drivers to normal) and place it on my usb flashdrive, how am i supposed to open the Usb flashdrive when i can't even get past my login screen?
Is there a way to solve this without having to start over and uninstall/install bootcamp from scratch?
Best regards

[SOLVED] Can't boot Windows 8 using grub2. invalid EFI file path

English is not my native language. Please excuse typing errors.
I have just successfully installed Arch linux with grub2 as its boot manager. I
followed the arch beginner guide. I've used grub before and I'm familiar with
it, so chose to use grub instead for efistub. I installed os-prober and
ran grub-mkconfig to create the grub.cfg file. The problem now is that I recieve
an error when I try to boot windows 8. I have two drives (/dev/sda and /dev/sdb)
and I believe both are EFI-systems.
However, it's not very important for me to use grub, so if booting into windows
8 is easier using efistub, I will try that.
The computer is ASUS ux32vd with a hybrid disk with 25GB on the SSD and 500GB on
the hard drive. I believe the SSD part is used by Windows.
This is the first error I recieved when I tried to boot windows.
error: can't find command `drivemap'.
error: invalid EFI file path.
Press any key to continue...
Then I tried to follow this post
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150183 and made a new boot
entry "Windows 82". And I got a new error:
error: unspecified search type.

EDIT:
I gave up trying to make grub work, so I uninstalled grub and deleted all the grub files I could find.
# pacrem grub-efi-x86_64
# rm -fr /boot/grub
That last one I came to regret later on. So I installed rEFInd using the archlinux beginners guide. When I then tried to boot into windows It told me that /boot/grub/x86_64-efi/normal.mod was not found. I then reinstalled grub-efi-x86_64 and copied /usr/lib/grub/x86_64 to /boot/grub. Now everything works fine.

The EFI stub loader is a Linux-only boot loader; however, it is possible to use the EFI stub loader in conjunction with a separate boot manager, such as rEFInd or gummiboot. In such a configuration, you'd use the boot manager to select the OS to boot (Windows or Linux, and possibly the specific Linux kernel), and the boot loader (the Windows loader or the EFI stub loader built into a specific kernel) will then take over booting the OS. In Arch, this is often easier to configure than is GRUB, since GRUB is very complex and its automated tools to help with setting things up often get it wrong.
This is the first error I recieved when I tried to boot windows.
error: can't find command `drivemap'.
error: invalid EFI file path.

The "drivemap" command in GRUB is generally used when booting a BIOS-mode boot loader, and in fact your "Windows Recovery Environment (loader) (on /dev/sda2)" and "Windows 8 (loader) (on /dev/sda4)" GRUB entries are both built as for BIOS-mode Windows installations -- but the fact that your disks both use GPT means that Windows won't boot in BIOS mode on your computer. (This is one of the many things that the GRUB setup scripts can get wrong.)
Then I tried to follow this post
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150183 and made a new boot
entry "Windows 82". And I got a new error:
error: unspecified search type.
error: file '/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi' not found
Press any key to continue...
Both your "Windows 8" and "Windows 82" entries refer to an EFI boot loader file called EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi on your EFI System Partition (ESP). This should be correct, but your Boot Info Script output doesn't show any evidence of such a file. Sometimes Boot Info Script misses such things, so you may want to check it just to be sure. Your ESP is /dev/sda1, and it looks like it's being mounted at /boot/efi by default, so check for the /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft directory tree, and for /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi in particular. If that file isn't present, then something is wrong -- perhaps you mistakenly erased the ESP when you installed Linux, thus wiping out the Windows boot loader; or perhaps the file was accidentally deleted somewhere along the way. (Note that on FAT, which the ESP uses, case is irrelevant, and in fact case varies between the filenames reported by Boot Info Script and what's recorded in your configuration files.)
You do have another boot loader file that may be a duplicate of the Windows boot loader: EFI/BOOT/bkpbootx64.efi. This filename is generally created by Ubuntu's "Boot Repair" tool, which IMHO can do as much harm as good, especially on a system that's not booting Ubuntu. If you ran this tool, though, it's conceivable that bkpbootx64.efi is a copy of the Windows boot loader, so copying it to EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi might get things working. OTOH, the Windows boot loader relies on other files to do its job, so if they're not present, copying the Windows boot loader to its original location won't be sufficient.
If you can't get things working based on the preceding suggestions, I recommend you run a Windows repair tool. These are accessible from a Windows recovery disc. Such disc images are readily available on the Internet, but I don't happen to have any links handy. Try Microsoft's own site; images obtained from random third-party sites might contain malware. Once you've done this, chances are the computer will boot directly into Windows. You'll then need to either restore GRUB as the default boot loader or install another boot loader or boot manager. You can use the Windows "bcdedit" command to do the former, as in:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\arch-grub\grubx64.efi
You'll need to type this from an Administrator Command Prompt window.

Viewsonic VX900 DVI boots Windows XP (via bootcamp) but not native OS X

I'm trying to get the DVI bootup to work correctly with my Mac Mini Core Duo. I'm using a VX900 LCD. When I reboot it goes to XP (bootcamp) and runs perfectly. But when I hold down the option key (to select OS X) I get a black screen and the 'no sync' message on the LCD.
It seems that the bootup is happening since after a while the boot times out and I wind up booting Windows XP again. I just can't see the bootcamp selection screen.

I would try getting another monitor and configuring the mini to boot into OS X as the default. Then get a VNC client/server connection going with another computer on the network. Finally, reconnect to the Viewsonic and let the mini boot into OS X making sure you have set the VNC server as a startup item on the mini. That's the only way you will have any visibility into what resolution the mini is starting up in when connected to the Viewsonic.
Have you tried connecting to the Viewsonic over VGA? Does that make any difference? That might be an alternative. If it works over VGA, you could just stick with VGA.
