Cannot install boot camp with yosemite

I get an error about needing a single partition for the iMac HD

That is your Recovery Partition most likely. You can check by enabling the Debug menu in Disk Utility.

Please close this thread, I have managed to get a hold of a DVD including all the drivers, so I suppose that will work, if not one way then another.
Thank you for the quick answers.

Cannot install Boot Camp 3.2 upgrade for Windows 7 64 bit

I recently installed Windows 7 64 bit on my macbook. I also installed Boot Camp 3.0.1 after Windows 7 installation, however, WiFi did not work. Therefore, I needed to upgrade to the latest Boot Camp 3.2. However, when I tried to install Boot Camp 3.2 upgrade for Windows 7 74 bit, I got an error message saying that I needed Boot Camp 3.1 installed first. I CANNOT find Boot Camp 3.1 upgrade for Windows 7 64 bit on Apple website at all. Can someone please help me on this? Is there a way to get the complete Boot Camp 3.2 package that can simply be installed on version 3.0.1??

here is the link to bootcamp 3.1 for windows 7 64 bit http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1336 .. and no there is no package that can be applied to the windows side to go from 3.0.1 to 3.2

Installing Boot Camp with Windows XP

I just bought a new game for my computer, but as it turns out, it's a PC ONLY game. So I thought I'd try out Boot Camp for the Mac. I went to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-xp/default.aspx and clicked on "Important: Download Windows XP Service Pack 3". After that it goes on about why you should install it and so on. But the thing I was wondering about, is if I buy that, will I be able to install it using Boot Camp.
I appreciate any and all responses.

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
first things first: from the link you mentioned you only get the Service Pack 3 for Windows XP and not the operating system Windows XP itself.
That Service Pack will only install on a WIndows XP that is already installed.
Have a read through the BootCamp Installation Guide to be found here http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ plus the additional FAQs there.
You have to buy yourself a Windows XP; Vista or Windows 7 to install it on your Mac with BootCamp.
Depending on what Windows game it is you wanna play, you can also have buy and use Crossover Games for Mac https://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxgames/
Look through their compatibility list http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/ whether that game is supported.

Cannot install boot camp 3.1 on my leopard macbook pro !!

the upgrade patch cannot be installed by the windows installer service because the program to be upgraded maybe missing or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. verify that the program to be upgraded exist on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch. this is the error that i get when i try to install the boot camp update!

Hey guys...
I've got the solution of this problem...
The Windows part of the Bootcamp installer furnished by Apple *****!!!!
When you insert the DVD install of Snow Leopard, the AUTORUN launch the CD/DVD Sharing for Macbook Air ONLY, but not the BOOTCAMP INSTALLER...!!!!!!
I didn't see that at the first try, because we are using Macs, and we don't have habit to read AAAALLLL the stuffs we got on the screen, but, we should do!
That why, when you try to install the Bootcamp 3.1 updater, it doesn't work...
This updater ***** too!!! There's no warning message: The installer launch, then stop without no advertisement, and we don't know what to do and what's happening....
So, to resolve the problem, launch MANUALLY the BOOTCAMP 3.0 Installer from the Snow Leopard DVD installer:
Go to Windows Menu and select "Computer", then click on the DVD icon in the left side bar to browse it, open the folder "Bootcamp" on the DVD's root, and run the SETUP program...
It would take several minutes, and you will get many bullet messages from windows, informing you that many drivers are being installed...
When it's done, restart...
After reboot, launch the Bootcamp 3.1 updater.. IT WILL FINALLY RUN!!!!
Restart....
That's it....
To Apple staff:
Why did you do an installer "a la Microsoft"???

Cannot install Boot Camp on my imac 27

Hello, I´m using Bootcamp to install Windoes on my Imac, afteri downloaded the Windows Support Software i couldn´t copy it/ burn it. When i tried to burn on a disk nothing happend after i pressed the ¨burn¨ button.
I need some help here!
Thanks!
P.S: English is not my main language.

Don't bother downloading the windows support software. You don't need it.
If using Windows 7 http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173
If you're using Win 7 Copy the file form the support document on to a USB stick formatted to FAT32
If you're using Vista/XP ignore the support article
Open Bootcamp utility and create partition and follow instructions
Reboot when it asks you to with the Windows installer disk in.
Follow instructions with the windows installation.
When windows is set up, insert your iMac install disk (grey one)
and it'll auto run and install the drivers you need.

Anyone having problems installing Boot Camp with New Mac Pro 2.8?

I just get blank screen after it restarts with XP disk. I'm using a vga - dvi adapter with a apple 17" display..
I've phoned apple and read up on here but nobody seems to know. I just wondered whether my 2008 Mac Pro was faulty...
Please can you help?
cheers

Are you getting a white screen after the Mac reboots? If so, try disconnecting all non-essential USB/FW devices.
I had the exact same problem and I went through a long, stressful process of elimination to get it working, even to the extent of using my MacBook as an external drive through target disk mode!
It turned out to be my iMage USB camera. Even after successfully installing Windows I have to disconnect it before using Bootcamp.
I Hope this helps.

Cannot boot from XP CD when installing Boot Camp

I've tried several times to install XP with SP2 on my Mac Pro. I was successful installing Boot Camp with OS X 10.4. I did a clean install of OX 10.5.
My Mac will not boot from the XP CD once I'm told to re-boot while installing Boot Camp. I've tried holding the "C" key to force it to boot. It still will not boot. I can only get back into Max OS X by holding the "Option" key during boot up.
I have verified my XP disk and all looks good.
Has anyone else seen this and is there are work around?
Thanks!
Rick

Hi
It seems the drive cannot boot up from the CD recovery and switch to the LAN boot.
The PXE-E61 error message appears because the LAN cable was not connected and the notebook is not able to find a network boot source
I think you should check the recovery CD and maybe you will need a new one

Windows corrupts itself, errors installing Boot Camp 2.0 & 2.1

Mac OS 10.5 is working just fine, however upon partitioning and installing Windows XP Pro w/ SP2, I have nothing but problems! Windows update will not work, cannot install Boot Camp 2.1 without errors (says files are corrupted, even though I have re-downloaded the file a dozen or so times). After a short while of rebooting and attempts to install updates, Windows corrupts itself; IE will not open, Windows explorer crashes regularly, and no installation files will open without errors. Safari for windows barely works. I have attempted formatting and reinstalling the system 4 times now, both FAT and NTFS, using different Mac OS X disks for boot camp software, but I get errors every time. It seems I cannot install anything without errors. Also, windows seems to degenerate, each time I boot up the computer windows gets progressively worse, more errors, more problems.
I have checked and all of my EFI and SMC software is up to date.
Everything is working just fine on my Macbook (different computer), which used the same procedure.
Macbook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.33ghz, 3gig RAM, 160HD, X1600, DL-DVDR
Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.4 Windows XP Pro w/ SP2

Solution found: Bad memory module (stick of RAM). After removing the bad stick, windows runs normally, updates are smooth.
Used "Remember" application to confirm memory is bad.

Will contact Applecare regarding bad memory.

Can I install boot camp on a machine with a Software Raid-0?

I have a machine with a software Raid-0 running Snow Leopard. I'd like to install Boot Camp but I only have 2 SATA hard drives. Windows does not need to run in a RAID on this machine and I'm fine partitioning both drives so that I have a 30GB Windows 7 partition. Both drives are 500GB each.
Can I partition each drive with -30GB run a software raid and still use bootcamp?
Please let me know.

No, and 30GB is too small for Windows 7 64-bit Pro for your Mac.
Get a 3rd drive. Assuming this is a Mac Pro you have 4 internal drive bays.

I installed windows 8 before installing Boot Camp 5(currently have 4) with 32 bit version win 8. Anything I can do now to upgrade to Boot Camp 5?. .

I installed Windows 8-32 bit before installing Boot Camp 5 (currently have 4). Is there anything I can do now to install Boot Camp 5 then re-install Windows with the 64 bit version?
I am hoping that I do not need to delete the partition and start all over.

Boot Camp 5 drivers can only be installed in 64-bit Windows 7 and 8 versions, so first you have to install a 64-bit Windows 8 version.
Note that Microsoft doesn't support upgrades from a 32-bit Windows to a 64-bit version, so you have to do a clean install, losing your applications, but you can keep your data, stored in "Windows.old", a folder at the root level of your Windows volume. Insert your Windows 8 DVD, hold the C key while your computer is starting and install Windows in the Windows partition.
After installing Windows 8, install the Windows support software for 64-bit Windows 7 and 8 versions

HT4718 If my mid 2011 iMac didn't come with a disk then how do I install boot camp

Boot Camp in Yosemite can't see Macintosh HD

I have a 27" Late 2012 iMac with a 1TB Fusion drive running Yosemite 10.10.1 and Boot Camp with Windows 7 (which I just installed). My previous Boot Camp installations were all able to see the Macintosh HD from Windows 7 using the Boot Camp HFS+ driver (installed with the Support Software package). This installation cannot.
I thought that maybe I didn't have the HFS+ driver installed correctly, but lo-and-behold, it is: I can see and read external HFS+ drives just fine. It's only the internal drive that I can't read. Windows Disk Management can see that the drive exists but the OS simply can't read it in Explorer.
Could this have something to do with it being a Fusion drive in Yosemite? I've read some comments that may allude to this (though very sketchy and I don't want to put ideas into your head--I need to know the real reason). I'm 99.9% positive that I had Boot Camp on this computer a few months ago and it read the Macintosh HD just fine, though I could be thinking of my previous (Mid 2010) iMac; I can't be sure.
Please help. This is driving me crazy.
Thanks so much!

exactly same problem with Mac Mini 2014 2.6ghz with Yosemite and bootcamp Win 7
before I had a Mac Mini mid 2011 2.5ghz with Yosemite and bootcamp Win 7, I never had this
I didn't tried but maybe I should check with a previous driver for HFS+
