Can't  save drivers windows 7 with bootcamp

I have tried to install windows 7 on my mac.
I did split up my hdd with bootcamp and created a place to install windows 7 on.
Then i installed windows 7 and then i restarted the mac and started up with windows and it worked.
But then i noticed many things where not working so i read i had to download the drivers with bootcamp and save them.
So i went to bootcamp added my portable hdd and they where downloaded and then half way it stopped and it couldn't save the files.
I didn't got a error or something so i let it running for 3 hours but after that it was stilll stuck at half.
Then i quit bootcamp and then tried it again and same thing happend.
And then i added a empty disk and again half way it stopped.
But then i got a error that it couldn't save the drivers.
Someone from my class did had the drivers saved so he gave them to me.
He got the same macbook and everything.
So i saved them on windows then launched the .exe and then i got many errors that it wasn't the right version of bootcamp.
I have bought the mac about a month ago.
It's the macbook pro 13 inch.
Hope someone knows whats wrong and what i could do to get it working again.

Anyone?
Some extra info:
  Model Identifier:          MacBookPro9,2
  Processor Name:          Intel Core i5
  System Version:          Mac OS X 10.7.3 (11D2515)

  • Can't create a windows partition with bootcamp

    Hi
    i have a MacBook Air. Standard, no changes from my side.
    I have the newest Lion update and BootCamp in Version 4.
    So, now i want to install Windows 7 64 Bit.
    I start BootCamp Assistant.
    The first point, is grey. i can't activate it. This point is to create a Windows 7 Install Disk
    Second Point is to download the drivers and so on. This is working. I have the stuff on a usb stick.
    Third Point is to create/install Windows 7. So, i have the posibility to decide how big i want my windows partition. 20-32 GB.
    when i click on create button. There comes a pop up "Installtions CD is not found"
    I have a bootable Windows 7 USB Stick (8 GB - Fat32). The Stick works. When i boot with refit from the stick, the Windows 7 installation starts. But without a partition ... not so good :-)
    So, what can i do now? BootCamp don`t want the Windows USB Stick.
    I need help :-)
    Thanks

    You will need a windows install DVD, and 50 to 60G partition.

  • Hi, can I install windows XP with bootcamp on my iMac which is now on Maverick? Please help.

    Hello all, can I install windows XP with bootcamp on my iMac which is now on Maverick? Please advise. Thank you.

    Install 7. Don't bother with applying drivers and such, just reboot again from DVD and install again, it will see the existing system and this time activation will be possible.
    Vista is mess, takes longer etc. Hope you have SP1 version of 7. And for Vista, only SP2+ are even supported now, by MS.

    if your computer does not support the operating system you wish to install in bootcamp then you have to use a virtual machine like virtual box to install the operating system you wish to install

  • Can't create Windows partition with BootCamp

    When I try to create Windows partition with BootCamp I get the same error, no matter what size the partition is set to : "This disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved" and then keeps giving instructions about formatting the disk as a single partition (after performing a full backup I assume), and then try using BootCamp again.
    Does that mean I have to erase and reinstall OS X to be able to do that ? Cause I just did that and I have the same problem. I'm not reinstalling again, it took me an entire day to reinstall all my softwares and run all the updates... Plus it reminds me too much of my Windows days... I'm not supposed to do that on a Mac anyway
    Back to the topic... are there any services that need to be stopped during partitioning ? Any software installed that could prevent that ?
    What could cause this problem ?

    Weird thing is I had no trouble making a partition using BootCamp before I restored OS X, and I had the same softwares installed... or maybe I did that before I installed some of them... Could this be related to any software I have installed ?
    And judging by your suggestions I would say that the "iDefrag" option is the only way out of the two to make this work. Sounds a little extreme if you ask me... What happens on the first attempt of creating the partition that would make me choose backing up and/or defragmenting ? ... You don't have to answer that if it's too complicated...
    Same thing happened on my other MBP... so as far as I'm concerned, I can only restore one more time and try to make the partition right after first startup. If that fails, then it means it could have been software related... Or maybe restore again, install one more software/utility I use and try partitioning again... and again, and again, until it fails...that way I'll know what caused it...
    Just kidding...
    Thank you for the suggestions anyway !

  • Can i install windows 7 with bootcamp on imac with flash storage

    can i install windows 7 with bootcamp on imac with flash storage

    Yes, you can. The type of storage on which you install is not relevant, as long as it is connected to an 'internal' storage control. Windows licensing restricts its installation on external/portable disks. Windows-to-go is the only legal means to do that.

  • HT5639 can i install windows xp with bootcamp

    can i install windows xp with bootcamp? Which version bootcamp should I go for?

    Depending on which Mac mini you have and your OS X version, you can install Windows XP or not in Boot Camp.
    First, open  > About this Mac, and tell me what OS X version you have. If it's 10.7 or 10.8, you can't install Windows XP. Also, if you have a Mid 2011 or newer Mac mini, you can't install it too. In this case, you have to use Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox, and install Windows XP on a virtual machine.
    If you have 10.5 or 10.6, you can install Windows XP in Boot Camp. Have a look at this website to see which Boot Camp version you need > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634

  • Trying to install Windows 7 with Bootcamp on my Macbook with a faulty CD drive

    I am trying to install Windows 7 with Bootcamp on my Macbook A1278 (OS 10.6.8) with a faulty CD drive (CDs and DVDs get stuck in it and I had to get it removed in an Apple store, so I don't want to use it anymore). I have got a licence for the product but I am only in possession of the ISO, is there any way to install it using a USB stick?
    I don't have many options while launching Bootcamp, only
    "Download the Windows support software for this Mac" but when I try I get a message explaining me that the download could not continue as the software is not available,
    or
    "I have the Mac OS X installation disc [...]" but obviously I can't use my CD drive so this is not an option. I tried it anyway and I created a Windows partition but when asked to "start the Windows installer", I can only continue by insering a CD.
    I tried to use a USB stick and added the ISO on it but nothing has changed.
    How can I install my copy on Windows?...

    BobTheFisherman > Hem, yeah, that is stating the problem and not working toward resolving it.
    Turbostar > I checked the link and it seems to be relating to the first video I have seen on the subject. I tried to install Tuxera then to work with rEFIt, but I did not get any result yet (I don't know if I am doing something wrong during the USB writing process as many different ways are explained on different websites).
    So far my last try was to launch Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool on VMware Fusion but it the only disk shown is A:\ Removable disk (not the name of my USB) and it is stated that the disk is being used by another program, even though it's not open on the Mac side.
    Some websites are advising to write the copy of windows on a USB via a PC and then launch it on the Macbook, so I might try that in the next few days. I will keep you updated.
    If anyone has another option I might not have think about, or an advice on how to efficiently create a bootable Windows setup USB with my Mac, please let me know!

  • Installing Window 7 with bootcamp

    Hi
    I installed windows 7 with bootcamp and it worked.
    Later I removed windows 7 with bootcamp and it also worked.
    Now I'm reinstalling windows with bootcamp and I'm not able to create a partition that I can use for Windows. Bootcamp creates a partition I formatted it to NTFS.
    But when I am installing windows it prompts: can't create partition.
    Please help

    Be aware that EFI boot has issues with Graphics and Audio on Windows 7, but not on Windows 8+.
    If you are using EFI boot, create a Free Space partition and let it be split by the Installer, into MSR and MSD. On Mac models which are considered preUEFI models, it may not work properly. Check your Model Identifier (System Report -> Hardware) against this list. preUEFI models do not understand the MSR data partition and will return Boot Device not found.

  • Installing Windows 7 with Bootcamp question

    Hey guys, I recently switched over from a PC to a Mac this year and wanted to install Windows 7 with Bootcamp so I could do some gaming every once and a while. I've read that I can't use the restore discs that I got with my ASUS to install Vista, so that's out of the question. I also have a Windows 7 upgrade disc that I used a while back to install Windows 7 on the ASUS. Will that upgrade disc work if the ASUS is restored? If not, will an OEM copy of Windows 7 be all I need? A retail copy of Windows 7 Home Edition is kind of steep to only be used part of the time.
    Thanks in advance!

    Well, "WHICH" Mac do you have?
    Go to the Apple menu (upper left corner)/About This Mac/More Info and at the top (under Hardware content) it should say "Model name" and "Identifier". Then put it in your profile so you don't have to keep remembering to do it.:)
    You might call/e-mail ASUS and ask if it can be used on another computer. Don't tell them it will be used on a Mac. Just tell them your thinking on building one from scratch.
    If you have a "desktop" ASUS then you MIGHT be able to just switch over the HD after Upgrading it to 7, but I believe the ASUS, Dell, etc, setups are "matched" to the COMPUTER so it might not work. A retail full version of Window 7 will work. You might also try Microsoft and tell them the same thing, might be able to get another "Upgrade"?
    I'm in the same boat, just play a few games on XP but want to get Windows 7, you have to spend $100 dollars more for "Pro" to get the "Windows XP Mode"! E-Bay does have it quite a bit cheaper then Microsoft sells it for.

  • Can you still access Windows partition with open firmware password installed?

    Can you still access Windows partition with open firmware password installed? If so, do you still use the Option key upon restart?

    I don't use Bootcamp.  However, I do know that with a firmware password, pressing the option key at startup will cause the password entry screen to come up; after entering the password, you will get the boot device choice screen.
    So, if Bootcamp partitions normally show up on that screen then it should work just fine, or so I'd imagine.

    This is an old problem I once ran into, but it's completely unrelated to SP1 which is the purpose of this thread.

  • Overheating while using Windows XP with Bootcamp

    Hi,
    I bought a MacBook Pro last September 2009. The MacBook Pro came with Leopard but I installed Snow Leopard a couple of weeks later.
    I need to use some Windows-based programs so I am using Windows XP with Bootcamp. However, I notice a high overheating when using Windows on Bootcamp (especially on the left side of the keyboard). Until now, the system doesn't crash but the overheating is a big problem for typing. This problem does not appear while I work on Snow Leopard.
    Please, I would appreciate any help. I installed "SMCFanControl" but it only works under OS X (where there is not the problem). It doesn't control the fan on Windows under Bootcamp. Also, for this, I installed "SpeedFan" but it doesn't recognize the fans.
    Thanks in advance.

    A little solution that has helped me.
    install both
    Notebook Hardware Control (NHC)
    http://www.pbus-167.com/nhc/nhc.htm#anchor_download
    Notebook Hardware Control has a Max Battery setting when you right click on it's icon in the notification section on the task bar (lower right). Make sure to apply this setting.
    and as suggested by Kappy
    Input Remapper
    http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/Input-Remapper.shtml
    This program allows you to adjust your fan speed without having to restart from Mac OS. Which is nice because with SMC if you close your macbook while running XP it will turn the fans off. Therefore you have to restart in Mac OS to turn the fan speeds back up.
    The combination of the two has kept my cpu in the 65c range while heavy gaming and 45c at idle.
    I have tried a lot of the ridiculous things that have been mentioned in both this thread and others. This solution has been an incredible relief because I certainly didn't want to get up every so often to run to the freezer or play over the air conditioner for several hours. I hope you have as much luck as I did.
    My Mac is a late 2009 Macbook pro and I'm running XP in bootcamp.
