Can't Find Bootcamp

So I have an older G5 computer that I now have Leopard, and I can't find boot camp. It's not in the utilities folder, I have just one disc that came with the OS and the file that I found to locate says it's for disc 1, and that doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

You can't use Boot Camp with a G5 anyway, only Intel machines can use it.

Can't find Bootcamp 3.0 Drivers

I just bought Snow Leopard yesterday, and have been trying to clean install both Snow Leopard and Windows 7.
I have since gotten Snow Leopard set up how I like it, and have gotten Windows 7 installed.
My problem: I can't find the Bootcamp drivers for Windows 7.
I thought they would be on the Snow Leopard disk, but when I inserted it, it didn't come up with a driver installation option.
I get these options: http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/1683/captureha.png
Where/how do I get the bootcamp drivers?

I think I figured it out.
I installed 64bit Windows 7, and that's maybe why it wasn't in the menu.
I looked around in the disk (while on windows) and found 64bit stuff, but it was a bit confusing to install so I'm just reinstalling 32bit windows

I can't find Bootcamp on Leopard?!

It's supposed to come with Leopard, right? I have the latest version 10.5.3 and I can't find it anywhere, it's like it doesn't exist. What happened?
Also, I'm terrified to actually use it, is it really that hard? I just want to play some of the new PC games that have come out recently (and eventually, Warhammer Online)

You access /BootCamp when you are in Windows, it is a hidden directory and has Apple setup.exe to install support services and drivers.
BootCamp Assistant is in Utilities folder and is used to partition your boot drive normally and to allow windows to install.

http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bootcamp.html
When you launch the BootCamp Assistant, take advantage of saving the pdf manual and either printing it out or reading through the 20 some pages.
The 2008 MacBook Pro supports XP and Vista 32-bit and 64-bit.

I dont have my leopard disk, where can i find bootcamp drivers for vista?

i just bought a used macbook pro. the man i bought it from didnt have his leopard disk. i installed vista 32 last night succesfuly but none of the features work because i dont have the leopard disk to download the oppropriate drivers. does anybody know where i can download the bootcamp drivers for vista 32 without having to buy the leopard disk?

i just bought a used macbook pro. the man i bought it from didnt have his leopard disk.
Hopefully, he gave you a $130 discount off the price, since you're going to have to buy a new Leopard disk. You should never have a machine without a system disk for it, since you'd be unable to recover without one if something went wrong. I don't know if you'll need it for those bootcamp drivers, but you will need it sooner or later.
(Technically, what he did is illegal... if he didn't give you the disk, he should not have given you a machine with the system installed. You're also in a bad legal position, by using a system that you do not own a copy of.)

Can't find Bootcamp at power on.

I have a MacBook Pro. I had it configured for dual boot via bootcamp with windows 7 and OSX Mavericks. There was a problem and I had to reinstall OSX. Now the Bootcamp partition still exists but is not available when I hold the option key and power up the machine. Any ideas?

Bootcamp Can't Find Drivers for Windows 7

I have a Macbook with OS X 10.6.8. I have a 64 bit version of windows 7 that I want to bootcamp. Bootcamp assistant says it can't find the drivers it needs for windows. Any suggestions?

Use OS X 10.6 DVD for drivers
If you had an ISO of 7 x64 that you burned that can be an issue

Bootcamp can't find windows 7 disc

Okay so the issue I'm having is this: I have Windows 7 x64 Professional burned to a disc. Everytime I go to hit install on Bootcamp assisant it states that it can't find my windows disc. I tried other Windows disc and the same exact thing happen. Is there a way to manually duel boot instead of using Bootcamp cause this *****! I've been going at it for 4 hours now.

This is what I find on the web. Hope it helps.

You won't find them until you are in Windows.
Helps to read even print the guide.
If you have auto run enabled, which is a security risk, the Apple setup.exe will run.
Otherwise, just run that.
Either use your OS X DVD, or use the drivers downloaded by Boot Camp Assistant.
Two different ways to get them.

After install Windows 7 i can't find MacOS in bootcamp menu. And when i'm pressing alt at start I have just Windows OS. How to return to MacOS?

After install Win7 I can't find MacOS in bootcamp menu. And when i'm press alt at start I can watch just 1 OS. How to return to MacOS

Hmm, then it seems Windows is trying to use a video driver that doesn't work with the one in your Mac.
Try a safe mode start in Windows. Restart and boot to Windows. If you're doing that from the startup manager (holding down the Option key and choosing the Win 7 partition), select the Windows disk and immediately start pressing the F8 key. If the Mac is trying to boot to Windows right at a restart or startup, then start hitting F8 the instant the hardware chime bongs.
Rather than the normal Win 7 splash screen (which from the sounds of things, you're not even seeing that), you will get a DOS screen of boot options. Chose Safe Mode and continue. This will force Windows to use the bare bones video driver and you should get to a desktop you can see.
Now install the initial Boot Camp drivers.

Can't find a bootable device after trying to install Windows 7 in bootcamp

I've been trying to install Windows 7, 64 bit. Haven't managed yet due to problem that I've just posted about in a separate thread. Now, though, when I switch on it says 'can't find a bootable device'. If I switch on whilst holding down the Option key, the (OSx) internal hard drive is there and I can boot up. But I don't want to have to do that every time... Tried resetting the PRAM as advised, made no difference.

Look at Apple () -->system preferences -->*Startup Disk*
hope this helps

At a Genius Bar appointment yesterday, we determined that I needed to go to Mountain Lion from Lion. I purchased Mountain Lion at the Bar, and paused the install so that I could resume from home. Now I can't find it to resume. Not in Downloads. ?????

When I upgraded to Lion, my Parallels stopped working and I got a Bootcamp error message. It had worked fine for the prior year. I upgraded to Parallels 7. No luck. At the Genius Bar, the Genius uninstalled Bootcamp. No luck. I still get "The Boot Camp partition /dev/diskOs4 used by Hard Drive 1 is missing."
Another Genius suggested upgrading to Mountain Lion. While at the Bar, I purchased Mountain Lion and then we paused the install so that I could resume it at home. Once I got home, I can't find the Mountain Lion installer to resume. It's not in the Downloads file. Any clue?
My business programs all run on Windows, so I have to get it operating. The Genius Bar isn't much help. Does anyone know how to get Mountain Lion installed? How to get Parallels working?

The "Geniuses" (and I use that word in sarcasm) at the Bar are lying to you. Upgrading from Lion to Mt Lion will not fix whatever problems you are having. In fact it will most likely make them worse.
If you want to try installing Mt Lion to fix the problems you are having you will need to open the Mac App Store link in your Dock, Login to your Apple ID account for the MAS and go to your Purchases area. Mt Lion should be in there and you will be able to do a proper download. Once you either set your Mac into sleep or shut down and then left the internet connection at the Bar all record of that download was lost. So you will need to restart it again from the beginning, like described above.
Good Luck

Can't get W-XP installed with ML10.8; nor can I install Bootcamp 2 or 3 ?!

Hello everybody,
Searched the fora on the net; can't find my answers. Please help ??
Having an MBP late 2008 (unibody, intel, 2.4Ghz 4Gb) the old HD faded and I replaced it with new HD. Installed new Mountain Lion 10.8 on it.
I need my accounting software which is ... windows based, in fact it needs windows no later than XP. Sorry guys...
So Windows partition is required. The interface is Parallels Desktop 7, but could be replaced.
Meanwhile, I have created a partition for Windows, FAT (DOS) formatted through Disk Utility.
The Bootcamp installer on 10.8 (which is version 5) will definately only install Windows7. It will ask: need additional drivers? and: create partition to install Windows 7? (or: now I created a partition: delete partition?); one cannot leave any of the questions unchecked.
I do not have W-7 (I saw that W-7 has an addtional program that emulates XP so it could work). I have a legal copy of W-XP
I do not have W-XP installed yet; don't know how to do that. I thought to start the MBP, hold "C" and install W-XP but some people advised not to do this (although the boot CD of W-XP works just fine). This is the first problem.
Apple Support mentions to use Bootcamp 2. Can't find 2.0 but only upgrades to 2.1 and 2.2. So this is the second obstacle.
Discussion Boards tell that BC2 is on the install CD's of (snow) Leopard. I can't find on Leopard CD, other than having to install OS-X 10.5 ??? This is the third problem.
Besides, the Bootcamp 2 or 3 apps are EXE files. OS-X cannot handle EXE files. So I wonder how to install these? This is the fourth problem.
Parallels Dekstop could install W-XP, but not on the later versions that are required for Lion or Mountain Lion. Obstacle 5.
Please help to install W-XP !?!?
What are the steps required ???
I 'm starting to get desperate........
Sytze

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the advice. It succeeded.
The steps I made was to make a disk copy of my original Windows XP disk using Disk Utilty. Then I renamed the disk copy into .iso. I copied the ISO file to my usb flash drive.
Than I started Parallels 7, created a new VM, selected the correct drive to install from (the usb flash drive) and volia, it worked.
Finally...

I can't install windows 8.1 - can't find hdd drive

Hello,
I am trying to install Windows 8.1 also I have tryied windows 7. I put my USB stick and I used the Bootcamp installation. Everything was copied+latest drivers, created bootcamp partition with bootcamp assistant. After that Mac restarted and booted into the windows installation. I run install process and it says something like: "Any drives were not found." So in this stage my install journy ends. Because I don't know how to create an installation usb stick. If I going back and check Disk Utility, the Bootcamp partition is there. So I don't understand why the installation can't find any partitions.
Funny is if I try to find some drivers I can browse for them and I see the the HD-partition and folder like an Users, documents, Program Files.....
My SSD is Crucial M4 256GB with latest firmware and used Mavericks by fresh installation.
I will be happy for any usefull suggestion.
Thank you very much.

The .exe is a Download Manager. You need to run it on a Windows machine and download a USB and/or ISO file.

Mac mini 2010, can't install bootcamp drivers

My brother's computer (mid 2010 Macmini) has previously been partioned with a Windows 7 32 bit system. Under bootcamp 4 we could install Windows 7 32 bit system, plus drivers and it was used for playing games on Steam. The partition was removed so it could be increased and in the process updated the Apple side software to 10.8.5, which installed bootcamp 5.
Bootcamp 5 won't use our 32 bit install disk, so we went through the process of getting a 64 bit install disk and it installed without a problem. Now the drivers on the PC side as downloded by Bootcamp 5 won't work. I get the error message "Bootcamp x64 is unsupported on this computer model". So my next step was to download the bootcamp 4 drivers and they also do not work. I get the error message "this version of bootcamp is not intended for this computer model". I have had a look around and can't find anyone with the exact same issue.
Also the "troubleshoot capatability" fix doesn't work I have tried it. Can anyone help?

Good news. Glad to be of help.
Cool - now to find out about sharing data across platforms.
Since Vista needs its system partition to be NTFS, you can read files from while in Mac OSX, but can't write to NTFS without additional help.
Either Paragons NTFS for Mac http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/ or NTFS-3G http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ enable OSX to write to NTFS partitions.
The access your Mac OSX from Vista you can use MacDrive http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/
Or use an external harddisk with the FAT32 file system, since Mac OSX and Vista can read and write to/from FAT32.
But note that FAT32 has a built-in single-file size limitation of about 4GB.
Thanks again, Paul.
You're welcome anytime. Hope it it helps
