Chkdsk run everytime I start Windows Vista under Bootcamp in Snow Leopard

I have Windows Vista 32 bits installed on bootcamp partition and it work fine in 10.5.
Now I have upgrade my MBP (early 2008) to Snow Leopard, and upgrade WIndows Bootcamp drivers to version 3.0 from Snow Leopard DVD. Both installation were completed and run fine.
The problem I have now is: Whenever I used Mac OS, shut down, then restart the WIndows Vista by pressing Option key at Macbook Pro startup, Chkdsk will run evry time, checking integrity of the Windows boot partition. I have to wait for more than 20 minutes before Chkdsk fix all errors, then reboot, and press Options key to get back into WIndows Vista without Chkdsk running.
When I shut down Windows, and restart without goinb into Snow Leoprad, the boot process go OK without Chkdsk running.
But whenever I shut fown Winodws and use Snow Leopard, then get back in to startup Windows, Chdsk run again. This is very annoyingm, and never occured in 10.5
During Chkdsk session, the following errors occured and being fixed:
Deleting index entry ._501 in index $I30 of file 9028
Deleting index entry 501 in index $I30 of file 9028
and after all process finished, Chkdsk stated that: There is a blank space that allocated as used, and has been fixed.
Can any friend advise me what cause this problem? and How to correct it?
I understanfd that the ._501 is in .Trashes folder on Windows partiton. It must be altered wwhen I use Snow Leopard, and must have to do with Trash in Mac OSX 10.6.
Can any friend advise me how to solve this problem? Thank in advance

I had the same problem and was reasonably confident that the disc was actually okay and did not benefit from repeated checking. You can instruct Windows on boot to ignore a drive by typing in the following command after boot into a command window chkntfs /x c:
In the case above c: is the drive letter Windows is booting to. If there really is a serious issue that chkdsk is identifying and trying to fix for you this may not be the way to go. However if this helps you can always run chkdsk manually from time to time to verify that the disc is still okay.
SL also created this problem for me. After that and a host of other issues that I did not have the time or patience to to battle with I reinstalled Leopard and have been happy with the decision.

Installing vista with bootcamp in snow leopard

I can install snow leopard clean on a fresh drive on my MBP with my upgrade disk.
It is the disk that came as a drop-in dvd with the MBP, along with its original install disks.
If I install windows vista using bootcamp assistant on my MBP running snow leopard, do I use that disk when it asks for the drivers, etc. during installation?
Or do I use my leopard install disks that came with my computer?
Is the snow leopard bootcamp process any different from the process in leopard?
I had windows Vista on the MBP fine before upgrading my hard drive and going to snow leopard.
Do I need to print out those 25 pages of instruction again?
Thanks for any advice.

Because you are asking I would read the FAQ guide, again.
On a Mac while installing, it doesn't allow or ask/prompt for installer disc (some people put things like that on a flash memory card). You do, after the install is done, need to insert your OS X DVD.
Snow Leopard has Boot Camp 3.0, I'd use that instead of the older 2.0x from Leopard.
No different, just about the same with the HFS+ read ability added (which causes some but not everyone to sometimes have BSOD or other problems, or maybe you don't even WANT Windows to be able to access and read Mac HFS+ volumes).
When upgrading a hard drive, make an image of the Windows partition with WinClone to restore - would have been good timing to upgrade to Windows 7, personally.

The problem is repeatable. The same index and file to be deleted by Chkdsk remain unchanged every time I boot Windows under bootcamp after using Mac OS. If I reboot Windows many many times without using Mac OS, the error never occur.
It must be Mac OSX Snow Leopard that is the culprit. Can any friend give me solution of how to solve this problem?

HT3777 Can I use Windows XP in Bootcamp 3/Snow Leopard?

I have a 27" iMac (I believe it's still the most surrent—bought it late June 2011.
Parallels and VMWare Fusion have been a pain. Can I use XP or do I have to upgrade and buy a newer version of Windows: Vista or 7?

Thanks. Read the support article, figured that's what it would say. However, just for the heck of it, I tried installing XP and it worked. Had trouble getting my printer driver for the one program I need to use Windows for (a client has a Windows-only program I need to use) but I fianlly got that done too.
When I go back to Lion (had MAJOR problems running my Adobe CS5 suite) or Mt. Lion, I know I'll have to upgrade then.
Until then, I'm good.

Installing Windows 7 via Bootcamp on Snow Leopard. No Disc Drive.

Hi all,
I have a White macbook late 2006 model. The superdrive in it has failed and I'm trying to install Windows 7 via Bootcamp. I downloaded an open source app called rEFit that allows me to boot to a usb drive. I created the boot camp partition using boot camp and I chose the Quit and Install Later option on boot camp. BTW I have Mac OSX 10.6.8 using Boot Camp 3.0.4. I restart and go to boot to the usb drive and it gives me the no bootable drive error. The usb drive was created as a bootable usb drive using a macbook air using an windows 7 iso in boot camp. Does anyone know anyway that I can get windows 7 installed on this macbook via bootcamp. Virtualization software (ie VMware Fusion, Parallels, etc) is not an option (CS 6 will slow the computer to a halt if I attempt to run it in virtual machine of windows). Any and all help will be appreciated.

Sorry I didn't respond sooner....Hurricane Irene knocked out all our power
The initial install (at least for most of the reboots) does correctly reboot to Windows. However, towards the end of the Windows setup, where Windows is fully functional but is configuring itself, you may accidentally boot into OS X. Once you get Apple's Boot Camp drivers installed, you can set the target disk for a reboot, so that you don't need to hold down alt/option. In addition, you can also set the target disk in Lion via System_Preferences>System>Startup_Disk.
Unfortunately, the excellent boot manager rEFIt doesn't work with Lion (because of the hidden partition that Lion adds). Maybe they'll get it working soon, then you can use it and not worry about holding down alt all the time.

HT202213 Problem: My Library doesn't share on Windows (on BootCamp, Windows Vista and Mac OS X Leopard)

Hello,
I've installed iTunes on Windows Vista, (under BootCamp, on my Macbook).
I want to see my library on my Windows, but it doesn't work.
I already have activated the Home Sharing, and authorized both computers. (I have turned OFF those 2 options and turned ON again, as I read somewhere, but it doesn't work.)
Any ideas?
thank you!

Limewire has not updated their software for Leopard. Currently only runs on 10.4.X (Tiger) according to their website.

Error Message "ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe unable to locate. This application failed to start because ExtendedScript.dll was not found". This error message is seen when first starting Windows Vista, prior to starting Photoshop Elements 12.

Error Message "ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe unable to locate. This application failed to start because ExtendedScript.dll was not found".
This error message is seen every time when first starting Windows Vista, PRIOR to starting Photoshop Elements 12.1
It does not seem to interfere with the normal operation of Photoshop Elements, but it is a constant annoyance.

Can't get 1080p output to TV in windows 7 under bootcamp

I have no problems using my 40in Samsung LN610 1080p TV as extension of my Snow Leopard desktop (though it was rather tricky to get it running). However, I can NOT get 1080p output in windows 7 under bootcamp.
In detail, when I use TV as an extension of the desktop, TV shows no HDMI signal coming in if I try to use 1080p or 1080i output (using NVIDIA panel or standard win7 properties panel). However, when I drop the output to 720p then the signal gets through and TV displays 720p just fine.
I hope I explained it clearly engough. Please let me know if you are having the same trouble or if you know of a solution. I'm using the latest bootcamp drivers.
I have Macbook Pro 13in 2.53GHz, 9400m, 4GIG RAM, mid 2009 unibody model.

This problem is not a problem with Windows or Apple. It has to do with when the updates are applied to Windows boot camp. The way to fix this is as follows. First click on the bluetooth icon from the Windows start page. Then click show bluetooth items. From this window click add a new device. When the device appears double click on the icon for the device. A window should appear that at the top says general and other. Click on the other tab and another window comes up with a small box in it. Check the box and Windows will search and install the exact, correct drivers for the device. Now the device will pair and work fine.

Windows 7 under bootcamp for MacOS X 10.6.6

Running under windows 7 I can not get a hash key. Have read various posts that say Ctrl-Alt-3 should do it and have even downloaded Windows Layout Creator 1.4 and loaded the Apple UK keyboard layout that says Ctrl-Alt-3 should work but it does not. I am using a MacBook Pro and neither the internal keyboard nor the full external USB mac keyboard (Apple UK) that I use give in a hash in Windows 7 under bootcamp. Under Mac OS option-3 works fine.
If anyone has figured out how to get the hash key working under Windows 7 (bootcamp) with an Apple-UK keyboard, please let me know.
TIA

I've recently installed Windows 7 onto my 2011 MacBook Air. The only thing that was a problem was the keyboard mapping for my UK keyboard. A number of the punctuation keys were in the wrong place (e.g. the @ and the " were swapped). I found this older post https://discussions.apple.com/message/9652475#9652475 which I followed and that seems to have put all my keys in the correct places.
Of course, I can't now find the # key because there isn't a hash key on the keyboard. I guess I can use charmap in Windows 7 but that's clunky, but are there any other ways?
There's probably a way to amend the file from the post above so when I've got a few minutes spare I'll take a closer look at that too.

Windows 7 under bootcamp won't mount dvds

Windows 7 under bootcamp will no longer mount DVD disks, whether data ROMs or movies. Audio CDs work fine, don't have any CD-ROMs to test with.
As far as I can tell this happened after upgrade to OS X 10.9.5. Computer is a 2010-vintage iMac, 21.5" with 8 GB RAM and 500 GB hard drive. Previously had Bootcamp 3.2 but upgraded to 4.0 and see the same thing.
When I insert a DVD 1 of 2 things happens:
- spins for a few 10's of seconds then the computer ejects it
- DVD-RW comes up in Windows Explorer, but when I click on it only thing that shows is "desktop.ini" and right-click menu options are only to format or burn something to the disk. I.e., is seen as a blank DVD RW even though it's a commercial DVD.
Most post on similar issues are for cases where the drive doesn't show up at all, but that's not the problem I'm having.
Would appreciate any help on this; it's not acceptable to have such SW issues on a computer that still otherwise works fine. Apple wants to charge me $$ for even an online chat session since it's out of warranty, and I don't want to lug to the store.

if it works in OS X then I would ask here Boot Camp
if the issue is also in OS X then likely it's a hardware defect with the optical drive

Can I install Windows 7 without upgrading to Snow Leopard?

I have Windows 7 and I just bought the Snow Leopard upgrade disk. I want to install Windows 7 on its own hardrive (no partition) but without having to upgrade to Snow Leopard first. I am happy with Leopard and feel if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I am wondering if I can just use Leopard to install Windows 7 onto the new drive, then boot into Windows 7 and use the Snow Leopard disk to install Bootcamp 3.0 and all the other drivers.
Does Snow Leopard have to be on the Mac in order to get the right EFI/Bios to run Windows 7 in XP mode, or does Boot Camp take care of that?
Thanks

AppleHFS is 'buggy' and HFS filenames can cause Explorer to hang (green bar) if it runs across any special character is doesn't like.
And yes, there is no requirement to be running SL. BC 3.0 also came out before Windows 7 (trying to jump the gun? pre-mature? wanted to get SL out the door before Windows). Newer SL DVDs usually also have later version of "3.0" Shame that 3.0 has to be installed and then updated instead of just a logical download/install of 3.2 (maybe put in any OS X DVD to verify you have it?).
Apple won't, they want sales of SL and pre-install. Any other source, and people have hosted it, not worth the risk, and violates terms of use posting it online.
Instead of using AppleHFS, which you rename to disable, there is HFS driver from Paragon as well as MacDrive8 (which has its own issue with 7). AppleHFS interferes and prevents using Windows Backup is also a concern.
I'm not sure I totally trust NTFS-3G to write to Windows 7, or allow cross platform read/write.
More and more, the tech specs and hardware or software requirements (requires 10.6 DVD is only for BC drivers), or ATI 5770 'only' works with 2009/2010, but doesn't and didn't say 10.6.5 or later), otherwise works with any Mac Pro (would be hard to prevent).

Bootcamp with Snow Leopard and Windows XP

Hello
Previously I had used Bootcamp in a 27" iMac to install Windows XP Home for the purpose of installing Empire Total War and playing it. This all went ahead smoothly with no problems. I sold the iMac a while ago, having first removed Windows and reformatted the hard drive.
I have a Mac Pro bought in 2008 (Model identifier: MacPro3,1 ; 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon) which shipped with Leopard. I have just ungraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 (with software update online) and partitioned the main drive with Bootcamp. I then attempted to install the same Windows XP, which all seemed to be going well (I put it on the Bootcamp partition) until it came to restart the Mac Pro after installation. This then came up as a Disc Error and I could only shut down by holding the start button in. I have now removed the Windows partition with Bootcamp Assistant.
As this all worked perfectly with the iMac, Windows XP and same OSX Snow Leopard I don't understand why it wouldn't work on the older Mac Pro. Although, having said this, the instructiond did only mention newer versions of Windows - 7 and possibly 8.
Can anyone tell me please, is there a way of making this work with WIndows XP (as it worked before with the iMac) or do I have to buy Windows 7 to make it work?
Thanks in anticipation of your help.

If i have Time Machine backed up on an external hard drive, do i just plug the drive into another macbook pro and all my stuff is in the new computer? also, does it matter if the new computer is running Lion when the backed up info came from Snow Leopard

If i have Time Machine backed up on an external hard drive, do i just plug the drive into another macbook pro and all my stuff is in the new computer? Also, does it matter if the new computer is running Lion when the backed up info came from Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

No and Yes
Don't use TM for this purpose, clone your drive to an external, plug the external into another MBP and reboot from it. Please note that booting a machine that came with Lion may not be possible from a drive with Snow Leopard.
