Can't view Macintosh HD from Boot Camp

So I have updated completely on my Boot Camp partition and Mac partition. I am running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1 and Boot Camp 3.3 with Windows 7 64 bit on a 2011 MacBook Pro 17".
Initially, I was getting the BSOD for cache manager, and a disable of the AppleHFS.sys fixed the problem, but caused me to not be able to view or modify HFS partitions.
I reinstalled Windows 7 on Boot Camp, along with creating an entire new partition (mine was too small to begin with for Steam).
Now it appears that AppleHFS.sys is in working order, and I don't receive and Blue Screens, but I still cannot view my Macintosh HD from Windows 7.
Other HFS volumes such as my external firewire hard drive I can read and write to, but not from Macintosh HD.
Disk Management shows that there is the partition there, but I cannot do anything besides delete it,
Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this? Thanks.

I'm attempting to install Paragon now, it installs and I restart my computer but now it won't even let me browse the external drives without formatting them... Any other HFS drivers?

Enabling 'File Sharing' on my Mac allows my Macintosh HD and Boot Camp to be visible and writeable on my home network. How can I turn this off, so that only folders/files I share are visible?

So I've been trying recently to get my MacBook Pro connected to my home network. There are two other desktop computers in the household, and I'd like to be able to connect to their shared folders, as well as allow them to access shared items on my MacBook Pro. I think I've read all the documentation regarding this issue on the Apple Support site. I do have administrator privileges on my Windows 7 computer.
Issues connecting from PC to Mac
A couple of days ago, I enabled SMB File Sharing on my MacBook Pro, and in addition to the already shared Public folder, I added another that resides within Movies. Then I went to my Windows 7 PC, and under Network, my MacBook Pro appeared. I double-clicked on it (I cannot remember if I was asked to enter my Mac user credentials; I think I was), and I saw the two shared folders: Public, and the Movies folder.
However, today I went back to my Windows 7 PC, accessed my MacBook Pro, entered username and password, and in addition to the two shared folders, both my Macintosh HD and Boot Camp HD appeared as shared folders, both fully writable. However, under File Sharing on my MacBook Pro, only the two shared folders (Public and Movies) appear in the Shared Folders list.
How can I prevent my Mac from sharing my entire partitions? How can I configure it so thatonly the folders I select to share are actually broadcasted across my home network? Also, it would be ideal if I can access these shared folders from my Windows 7 PC without having to enter my Mac user credentials.
Issues connecting from Mac to PC
I have a user account on my Windows 7 PC with the same name as my Mac, but with no password. When I try to connect to my PC from my Mac, the enter credentials dialogue pops up and asks me to either log-in as a Guest, or enter my User credentials.
The Guest account is disabled on Windows 7, and I assume that's I'm not able to log in as Guest (if it is possible to connect as a Guest without having to enable the Guest account on Windows 7, please let me know). Leaving the password field blank on the enter credentials dialogue tells me that it's incorrect (even though I don't have a password on my Windows 7 account).
Is it possible to access shared files and folders on my Windows 7 PC from my Mac without having to create a password protected account? If not, is it possible to create a password for the sake of accessing shared files, while not requiring it to log in to the account? I'm sorry, I know this last bit more falls under the category of Windows Help.

Sharing files from a Mac to a PC is a different animal. I've never done it myself so you may want to repost a separate question on this topic.
From what I understand, in order to access files from a Mac on a PC, you must log in using your Mac username and password (no anonymous file sharing). Since this is not very desirable from a security standpoint, Apple recommends creating a separate user account on the Mac that is dedicated to file sharing. Give that account access only to the files/folders you want to share. You can then give that user account name and password to your Windows users.

I can't start windows 7 normally from Boot Camp

I can't start windows 7 normally from Boot Camp.
It was running fine since I have installed it 7 months ago, but now it can't start or (restart) normally (safe mode is ok). It displays a black screen after showing the logo, and I have to shut down the machine. My Mac system is working fine. Mac technician (Genius Bar) has run a surface scan to verify hd integrity and proofed ok, but could not give any advice on Windows issues.
Please advice if anything I should do before cleaning up my partition and reinstall Windows.

I would guess and sorry for asking but you already tried booting from Windows 7 DVD and doing auto repair?
There are dozens of things to look at and do, and begin with chkdsk in Windows, yes but that only looks at one aspect. You can't really check for bad sectors on a drive's sectors. The best? to use the drive vendor's own utility actually, often with a linux boot CD or Windows program (they don't make Mac OS versions, one reason I first installed Vista over 5 yrs ago)
Restore check points
Uninstall last update or driver
Clean the system of debris temp files, caches, registry errors, fonts and left overs
make sure you have 20% and 12GB free space or more
A hard shutdown can create more problems.

open disc utility choose the drive you need partitioning highlight the bootcamp partition and click on the minus sign at the bottom left.
after this manually resize your drive by dragging the partition line all the way down and click on partition.

HT4407 Is there any way to download these files manually from another source? The download from boot camp keeps stopping at around 25% and then produces the error "Can't download Windows Support Software because of a network problem". Thx!

"Booting from Boot Camp Assistant created USB Drive...Failed to load BOOTMGR"

Hi Apple Ppl of the Wrld: I need help I been working on installing windows 8 on my Mac.
Spec of equipment:
Mac Book Pro Mid 2012
Bootcamp Version: Version 5.0.4 (473)
Bootable USB Flash Drive: Type Scan disk 4 GB windows 8 pro iso image but without the driver and the 2nd Scan disk USB flash drive with 32 GB with the Bootcamp Drivers downloaded and saved to this drive.
Please Note: I also have the original back up installation disc for Microsoft 8 Prof 64 from Microsoft where I purchased it from.
1st Bootcamp is not recognizing the Original Microsoft 8 Pro backup disk from microsoft itself.
Solution: I created the New Image from the Original Microsoft installed disc in my desk top and changed the extension to .ISO then burned the ISO image into the newly purchased DVD+R. Then I ran Bootcamp Once again and it get the following error message "The installer disc could not be found -- Insert your Windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for the disc to be recognized. Solution
2: Created a bootable usb drive with bootcamp assistant successfully with bootcamp. Yes I close, ejected or un-mounted any image that was open or had been previously used then i restarted the Mac. Next, I start the bootcamp assistant tool once again then i get the same insert your windows installer disc message.
3: Then I try to resolve the installer disc not found issue: this are the steps i took: a). Lauch disc utilities
    1. Selected the top most drive 750 GB Macintosh HDD
    2. On the right you’ll see 5 tab buttons: First Aid | Erase | Partition | RAID | Restore.
    3. Choose Partition. Then I clicked + to add another partition size of the partition was 222 GB
    4. Change the Name of the Partition to BOOTCAMP
    5. Change the Format to MS-DOS (FAT)
    6. Click Apply to save the changes and then reboot your Mac and we’ll begin Windows installation.
    7. During reboot, press and hold the alt/Option key and you’ll be presented with drives to boot from.
    8. Use the arrow keys and return button to select the Windows yellow USB key drive containing your Windows 8 installation files.
    9. This will begin the Windows install. --> then i get the following message: "Booting from Boot Camp Assistant created USB Drive...Failed to load BOOTMGR".
4: Take the Mac to best buy and let them resolve the issue and charge me like a million dollars for it :'( since i have no other idea who to get this bootcamp working at all. This has been a terribly lengthy issue and it is not as simple as it is claimed to be since i started with the Original Windows Disc Purchased from Microsoft and I have the Optical disc drive which it should be simpler from what I understand.
Please can you help It would be of great help.
<Email Edited by Host>

from what i understand you are trying to install win 8 pro from a "backup disk" the one that you purchased from microsoft.
this will not work, it is not an installer disk.
you need to start the process again. erase the partition you made on your hdd. in disc utility click the minus button after selecting the bootcamp partition, then manually drag the divider down fully then apply.
next, erase your usb then format it.
download win 8 iso from here;
http://getintopc.com/softwares/operating-systems/download-windows-8-pro/
it is perfectly legal to use your purchased product key in this install.
in bootcamp select the iso image you just downloaded, select your preferred partition size, check all 3 options.
you have the support software on another usb but you wont need it so it can be discarded. the install will work far better with the iso and support on the same drive.

Boot Camp For Lion -- USB ISO Method --"Booting from Boot Camp Assistant created USB Drive...Failed to load BOOTMGR"

Hello, has anyone had experience with dealing with this speciifc problem?
In short, upon rebooting, I am getting a black screen with a line of text that says, "Booting from Boot Camp Assistant created USB Drive...Failed to load BOOTMGR." Nothing happens after that.
I am using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4. I have an ISO of Windows 7 Prof. along with an 8GB usb drive. I changed the coding in my bootcamp program to allow for the normally first invisible option that allows creation of a USB Installation program using an ISO that is normally only for computers without an optical drive.
I have that box checked, the check for new software box, and the install windows box checked. I went through the process of creating the USB, downloading the software, and partitioning the drive. Then on restart, I get the failed to load bootmgr error.
Some people have suggested using two usb drives for this. I am trying that method but it does not seem to help thus far.
Can anyone offer any help?
Thanks.

Can't download Windows support software (Boot Camp Assistant)

Hello,
I have OS X Mavericks in a early 2009 MacBook Pro unibody and I tried to install a legal copy of Windows 7 through Boot Camp Assistant.
The problem is while downloading the Windows support software to a 8 GB USB pendrive (which works fine), I obtain this message from Boot Camp Assistant:
So I can't carry on with the Windows 7 installation with Boot Camp.
I tried restarting the system and with different USB pendrives, and I obtain always the same issue.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks you.

I think I have solved the problem.
Looking into Apple's Support Webpage, I found this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630
Here you can download the Boot Camp Support Software for running Windows 7 for my MacBook Pro (15 inch, early 2009).
Later, I will install Windows and then install this Boot Camp Support Software and see if it works.

Can i run Windows XP on Boot Camp

Hello I am a new Mac user that needs to run some Windows based programs.
Can i run Windows XP on Boot Camp?

Well, if his iMac will boot from Snow Leopard, he would have the rather troublesome option to downgrade it to Snow Leopard, install Windows XP in Bootcamp and then bring it back to Mountain Lion (which could then also be used with Parallels for either dual-boot or concurrent use with Mac OS X).
Just another option to consider.

You can't. Only Windows 7 is supported in that configuration.

Migrate from Boot Camp to Parallels

I've followed the threads about using the Boot Camp partition as a VM in Parallels, but I want to know if there is an advantage to keeping the Boot Camp partition if I doubt I'll ever need to re-boot into Boot Camp. I'm thinking I want to migrate my WinXP installation from Boot Camp into Parallels, and then delete the Boot Camp partition alltogether. How would I do this, and am I just making extra work for myself?

Hi,
Parallels Transporter http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/features/transporter/ should do the trick.

Can I view my iPhone from ARD?

This may not be the forum for this question, but I couldn't find my answer online so here it goes: I happened to flip on Remote Desktop at home today and saw that my iPhone was picked up in the local machine scan. Does anyone know if I can add iPhone to my list of computers and view/control it from my admin machine?
Thanks for your time and expertise!

No

Can OS X drives be protected from boot camp, and how to backup?

1. If I create a boot camp partition on my main drive, can I somehow protect my other drives and OS X partitions (and main drive OS X partition) from any possible tampering from a Win7 boot where I'm running software that could be infected or problematic?
2. How will I back up (and restore)? I've been using Carbon Copy to clone my drives, but unsure if that will also clone a Boot Camp partition?

Can i "copy" a 200 GB boot camp partition from Mac Pro to MBP?

i spent a lot of time working with virtual machines and i have decided i simply have to increase the size of my mac pro HD and put a boot camp partition in it.
can i COPY a 200 GB windows 7 boot camp partition from my 1 TB Mac Pro drive to a 200 GB partition on my MBP that will have a 500 GB drive?
this would let me focus on doing a full install and full setup on the Mac Pro and just copy this over to the MBP (when i get the new drive) saving me a ton o time.
TIA
Also, is this something for WinClone?

hi kappy. THANK YOU.
is it possible that you or anyone has actually done this machine to machine and partition to partition?
i want to avoid a situation where i try to do this only to find it works better or is much simplyer to the the fresh install on the MacBook Pro just fresh.
