Cant install windows ultimate 32 bit on my imac.

i cant install windows 7 ultimate on my imac every time i gets to the part wherr you shall pick the boot camp it says that i should put a cd with a driver in it put the windows cd wont get out.

Hi Andreas,
Please specify your hardware and software. Running OSX? Which version? Old hardware/new hardware?
It is not sure what your problem is: is it that the CD will not eject? Or is it that the winbdows cd is not installing?

Cant install W7 64 bit on 2011 imac

I posted this in the imac section, was told to try my luck over here, so ill just copy and paste the same question here.
Hey all, i just got myself a 2011 27" to replace my pc and so far so good. There are a couple of apps and games i use which still require my pc so i wanted to install windows 7 just for these apps.
I have a mid 2010 macbook pro with this same setup and it works perfectly. When i tried to install (using the same disk) windows 7 on the imac, windows setup comes up to a box where it asks me to select an operating system and continue. There is nothing in this box to select from and if i click next it errors out and reboots.
Again ive used this same disk to install windows 7 in the same way on my MBP so not sure whats different here. Im running 10.8.5 on both MBP and imac.
Interesting thing is that this W7 install disk is not one of those that allows you to chose what version you want to install, its a straight W7 64bit pro disk.
furthermore, i have a 32 bit w7 disk which i can chose from home to ultimate, this installs fine, however i dont want to run 32 bit windows as i want to use all of my 8gb of ram.
Confirmed that the 64 bit disk is still working by putting it into my MBP and booting from it, i get to the point where i would partition the disks fine, telling me that its working as intended...
Any suggestions would be welcome
Now to cover off a few things that came up in the other thread, licensing is not an issue here, i have volume licensing.
am installing 32 bit windows now as we speak so i know the super drive works.
64 bit disk will work on my macbook wont work on the imac, 32 bit will work on both...
I have reburnt the 64 bit disk (iso from microsoft), still no luck, same symptom as above.

Did you apply Lenovo driver packages in any specific order? Don't really understand what I missed?
My plan was to do a "clean" W7/64 install and after that run ThinkVantage System Update 4.0 for latest drivers.
In my case ThinkVantage System Update 4.0 could not start without Access Help for Windows 7 installed, that was the first dependency problem.
However, after that ThinkVantage System Update 4.0 run successfully and everything works fine but the ThinkPad Switchable Graphics Driver for Windows 7.
The ThinkVantage System Update 4.0 applied latest updates for everything including the BIOS. When I try to run BIOS update separately for getting around the graphics problem it says BIOS version is OK and no update needed.
Tried to disable Switchable Graphics in BIOS-setup using Discrete but that does not fix my problem?

I can't install Windows 8.1 on my Imac with Mavericks using Bootcamp. Why?

I can't install Windows 8.1 on my Imac 27" with Mavericks using Bootcamp. Why? I first did all the software updates needed, downloaded the driver software to a 32Gb flash drive formatted as FAT32, fired up Bootcamp Assistant, inserted the Windows 8.1 Full version 64 bit installation DVD as requested, and got as far as partitioning (tried this at 82 Gb for the Windows partition), then the MAC rebooted but halted before getting to the login page. Then a black screen came up with the error message: 'non-system disk - Press any key to reboot'. I did this and nothing happened. I was forced to shut down forcibly then restart with my finger held down on the option key. Then a screen came up with two icons: the macintosh HD icon and the Windows DVD icon. I double-clicked on the Windows DVD icon and the MAC came up with another black screen and error message: 'CDBoot: Couldn't find BOOTMGR'. Had to shut down forcibly again and restart as before, this time ejecting the Windows DVD first. Then I repartitioned my MAC back to all OSX. What the **** do I do now? Applecare couldn't help me beyond this point. They said to contact Microsoft. I notice a lot of other MAC owners have had similar problems.
Please help? tagjsmith.

Installing Windows 8 on late 2012 iMac 3TB SATA Disk

Yes I know installing windows on the new 3TB iMac through bootcamp is not officially supported, but after doing some research it seemed that it was quite possible to do so anyways. Twocanoes seemed to have the best solution for going about this so I gave it a try
http://blog.twocanoes.com/post/42453643591/bootcamp-on-a-3-tb-fusion-drive
I seem to have run into a problem at the very last step. I successfully created the partitions as above, created a bootable usb with bootcamp on a different mac, and then when I go to select what drive to boot from, my bootable usb shows two different drive options (Windows and EFI). If I select Windows, I can successfully install it on to my partition, but no compatibility drivers seem to be installed with it (internet, graphics, bluetooth). If I boot from the EFI option, I make it to the windows installer, but then receive an error telling me:
"The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks. Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu."
Any help on what I am doing wrong or what I might try will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
In the past, Windows could be installed in PCs with UEFI 2.0, but Windows 8 adds compatibility for EFI 1.x computers. What does it mean? You can install Windows in EFI mode on any Intel-based Mac with a 64-bit processor (Intel Core 2 Duo or newer).
This mode provides a better hardware compatibility for the installer, but it will give you headaches to make it work. For example, a Mac uses a hybrid GPT/MBR table for the hard drive. It uses GPT to start in OS X, and MBR to start in OS X. The problem you have is that a Mac emulates the MBR automatically when you make a partition for Windows in the hard drive, and this is the reason why you can't install Windows in EFI mode on your Mac.
In order to install Windows in EFI mode, you will have to leave some free space in the hard drive, and then, create the Windows partition in the Windows installer, after starting in EFI mode. However, I don't recommend you to do this, because after installation, the compatibility will be worse. You may have Internet working and the graphic card, for example, but Apple won't release updates for it, because it's not considered Boot Camp.
In conclusion, install Windows using the "Windows" option during startup, and wait until Apple releases Boot Camp drivers compatible with Windows 8. EFI mode for Windows provides some great advantages, but Apple doesn't support it at the moment

Install Windows 8 Release Preview on imac

any body install Windows 8 Release Preview on imac?

Q: Do you have the CP installed now?
If yes, then the Setup program will walk you through and download, move Windows to Windows.old (so you need about 40GB free space at least to accomplish, an 80GB partition) and no need to burn ISO (handy to have).
When all is said and done, be sure to clean up disk and remove windows.old and install.esd package and installer package which take up 20GB + 6GB + 2GB.
Not on iMac. I'd say it went smoothly though.

Install windows 7 in a new iMac 27 core i5

Hello, someone knows how to Install windows 7 in a new iMac 27 core i5 ?

As a new iMac hasn't got the SuperDrive, you have to buy the Apple USB SuperDrive or another external optical drive to install Windows on your computer. If you need help, print this PDF > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf
Also, if you have a Windows .iso file, you can use it and burn it into a USB drive. To do this, open Boot Camp Assistant and follow its steps

Anyone successfully installed Windows 7 x64 Enterprise on iMac running OSX 10.9.3?

I am trying to install Windows 7 x64 Enterprise onto IMac (late 2013 model) that has Maverick OSX 10.9.3 installed. We have done this in the past, before upgrading to 2012R2, and using 10.9.2 OSX.
When I create the TS media using x64 WinPE, insert into the IMac and boot - the boot selection pulls up. I select the USB EFI boot (only one that loads and it starts running WinPE and pulling up the Task sequence selection. I think the issue
is with the partition table. Before installing Windows - I exit with F8, run diskpart, which shows 3 primary partitions. I add a 4th and format as NTFS. I now have 4 primary partitions - none that show as EFI. The TS starts, checks
requirements, and tried to download the preinstallation environment to the disk as the TS tells it to install to disk 0, part 4 with no formatting and fails with 0x8007000f.
If I use diskpart to clean the drive and boot with the USB to EFI, let SCCM select Bios or UEFI, it will detect to UEFI, download the PE environment and apply the OS. When it reboots, it does not recognize the hd, showing a flashing folder.
Any help or comments are appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
I recommend you use Boot Camp to create partition.
Boot Camp is a multi boot utility included with Apple Inc.'s OS X that assists users in installing Microsoft Windows operating systems on Intel-based Macintosh computers.

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.

Asked (and ansered) hundreds of times.
You have to ERASE (format/initialize) the RAW drive now.
Restore your system, and restore back to just HFS+.
Storage space is not memory.
Boot Camp Assistant has a PDF guide from the program and Help menu. And it has to have 220GB of consolidated free, unfragmented, space to create your parttition.
