Failed Boot Camp Install of Vista 32 has broken one of my RAID arrays

Attempted to install Windows through Boot Camp on my Mac Pro, I have a RocketRaid 2320 controller card, RAID was built through Disk Utility. No redundancy, I built 2 separate 1.8TB RAIDs (4 x 500MB drives) in each of 2 separate cabinets. Windows install attempt brought up the HighPoint BIOS, then failed to install Windows and I got the well-known "Select CD-ROM boot type" message. Now, one of the 2 RAID arrays appears to be broken. Disk Utility still sees all 4 drives, but only recognizes 3 of them as a RAID slice with a GUID Partition Table. The other shows up as "disk5s1" with a Master Boot Record as the partition map scheme. While much of what was on this array was redundant with the second, I have a lot of work that was only on this one, so any help in how to fix and/or reconnect the drives of this array would be incredibly appreciated!

1. I remembered RocketRaid 2320 don't provide EFI64bit from Highpoint website so you can't set boot camp.
2. Does your Highpoint raid management utility(Highpoint engineer also called WebGui)
provide any message for your broken raid?I am also a Highpoint user, I give you some suggestion:
A.(1)If your WegGui in Manage--Array show your broken raid status is "Critical"and your bad HDD, please replace bad HDD then select Maintenance items of upper right corner of the page
(2)This will open the Array Information dialog box, select Add disk button to choose the replaced HDD then press "Submit", you can rebuild your RAID array.
B.(1)If your WegGui in Manage--Array show your broken raid status "Disable", you just can use one of Webgui function--"Keep old Data"(But it still have high risks to lose your data, it is the final method to use, I suggest you try the A method best.)
(2) Select "Maintenance" items of upper right corner of the page, from the "Array Information" dialog box, select "Delete" button, and prompted a warning: the array of data will be deleted whether to continue, choose OK..
(3)Back to Manage--Array page, this time the array has been deleted, double-click the "Create Array"
button to display the page to create the disk. From the Initialization Method field select “Keep old Data”, the remaining arrays in strict accordance with the original set of parameters, the required attention parameters include: Number of RAID member disk, Array Type, Block Size, Sector Size.
(4)Click "Create", the initialization process will start automatically, RAID
recovery complete, prompts to create a successful, choose OK.
(5)See your volume in Mac Disk Utility if your data is recoveryed

Failed boot camp install - how to remove windows partition?

Hi There,
After a failed boot camp install, boot camp no longer sees (or can remove) a windows partition - Disk Utility can't seem to remove it and if I use:
$ diskutil list
It shows up as partition 5 "Microsoft Reserved"
I also have a portion of free space that I can't seem to incorporate back into the main OSX partition - how do I remove the windows partition and make the drive a single OSX drive again?
Any help would be much appreciated
Cheers

Just incase others have this issue, this wasn't caused by using Disk Utility (Disk Utility couldn't remove the partition anyway) it was caused by repeatedly trying to format the Boot Camp partition using the Windows installer when Windows refused to install.
The solution is an Apple tech note (I can no longer find it sorry) that sates that no other hard drives besides the internal HD and the Windows USB flash drive can be connected while installing windows.

Failed Boot Camp Install during Windows portion - how eject Windows CD?

New iMac owner (intel, 24"). I tried to set up boot camp. I set the partion to 32mb. Then loaded a new Windows XP Home (with SP2). The Windows install crashed (blue screen of death) and my only option was to power off iMac. Now every time I turn it on, it tries to load Windows. How do I get Windows CD out of the superdrive?

Hi,
I am so glad I found your post. I tried to install Windows XP with BootCamp and was not successful. Anyway, I'm on a MacBook Pro with no no left mouse button. How do I eject the disk?
Also, can I shut down the MacBook with the error message "Press Ctrl-Alt-Del" to restart showing? I tried plugging in a keyboard but it did not work.
I see that you are in Germany and it is about 2:00AM there, so unless anyone else sees this message, I'm going to have to power down my laptop and see what happens.
Thanks!

I have a copy of Windows 7, and I am trying to bring up Boot Camp on my MacBook with Snow Leopard. But my Snow Leopard install disk is too old for Windows 7, so attempted Boot Camp install of drivers fails.

I have hand-installed the NVidia graphics driver, and I have keyboard, minimal trackpad, and hardwire to internet all working. So the WIndows machine is usable. But I am hurting for wi-fi, better trackpad, and whatever else is delivered by Boot Camp. I can't use any of the Boot Camp upgrades because I do not have XP or Vista.

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use Boot Camp. There's a Boot Camp Support Community where everybody uses Boot Camp. You should also post this question there.

Boot camp install would error out

I had multiple issues as well.
When I first tried to install 8.1 full as a fresh boot camp install it would error out and say that the required files were not there to install.
Then I would try it again and it would then get close to finishing and say it cant change the boot order and fail.
Apple please fix as soon as possible.

What's happening here is that the Windows installation, for whatever reason, is not booting properly. It is also set as your default boot system. To change this, reboot your mac while holding down the Option/Alt key. After awhile you will be presented with two icons, one for OS X and the other for Windows. Select OS X and then press Enter.
OS X will boot. Go to System Preferences >> Startup Disk and then select your OS X partition and this won't happen anymore.

Should my boot camp install see my OSX drives?

HI folks. I"m trying to run Windows 7 under boot camp and thought that a Windows boot camp install could see my mac partitions so I could access the same data when I boot to my mac or my windows 7 boot camp partition. They are formatted OSX Extended Journaled. Should I be able to see them? Thanks.

Windows 7 uses a NTFS formatted file system. OSx uses a Mac only file system, so the answer is you can't without third party tools. Search these forums or search Google. Your question has been asked and answered in these forums several times. The search button is in the upper right of this page.
If you install Windows using a VM like Parallels or Fusion it is a little easier to share files between Windows and OSx.

New Macbook Pro retina boot camp install issue - Windows 7

Trying to complete a boot camp install but can't get past creating a partition. I am able to download the windows drivers through boot camp, it burns them to a DVD, verifies the DVD (couldn't use CD-R as it kept saying burn failure after verifying files) and then takes me to the make a partition page. When i click install the partition, it pops up saying "can't find the installer disc" and wants me to put one in the super drive. What gives? I have that disc in the drive, also tried the Windows 7 disc and got the same error. So basically I can't create a partition to install windows 7 that I have.
Any thoughts?

The disk was from my other PC system, however it is an OEM upgrade disc. Maybe that is the problem but if that is the case why did it work when I installed it through VMware and it worked fine? The disc can be used as a self full install of windows 7. I have also it on another PC with no issues. Trying to convert to Mac finally but this is causing a hiccup.
The next question then is do I really need to go the boot camp way? I only need it to run quickbooks (need windows version for reasons) and a couple of other programs but thought it may run better as a boot camp install rather than VM plus I couldn't figure out how to reduce the size of the partition that VM installs, it takes too much space from me for no reason (60Gb).
Thanks for any input.

Yosemite boot camp install on /separate/ drive?

i have an existing windows 7 boot camp install that resides on a drive in my 2006 mac pro with my LION OS.
i now have a 2012 mac pro.
should i install windows 7 with boot camp on a SEPARATE drive or can i put it on a partition on the same drive as yosemite?
thanks

OK. thank you.
so i /like/ the idea of having an internal CLONE of my OS in bay 1 on the drive in bay 2.
in the past i have set this to happen nightly and i use WinClone (thanks hatter) to create a BACKUP of the Boot Camp install of Windows 7 and i drop this backup on the DESKTOP. this way i have a BACKUP of Windows on my boot OS and i also have one on the CLONE.
just to confirm - no reason as far as you are concerned to change this?

Boot Camp Install Issue

I have a 27 inch Imac using OSX Lion 10.7.3 and I would like to install Bootcamp so I can load Windows 7. When I try to use Bootcamp Assistant I get the following message, "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition." I've gleaned from the forums that I'm going to have to reinitialize the hard drive and reinstall Lion so I can properly use Bootcamp.
Once I reinitialize the drive and reinstall Lion, should I use Bootcamp to create the partition before I restore my Time Machine backup, or should I wait to use Bootcamp until after I've restored my backup? I'm worried that if I wait until after the restore that it would just take me back to "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition." again. But I'm also worried that if I use Bootcamp before the restore that restoring everything will overwrite the partition, Windows install, etc.
I hope this makes sense. Any help would be appreciated.

Every time I install an update of itunes, I get an error message saying: "/System/Library/Extensions/WkClassicNotSeizeDriver.Kext" was not installed Correctly. Has any one had it? Can you help me?

Every time I install an update of itunes, I get an error message saying: "/System/Library/Extensions/WkClassicNotSeizeDriver.Kext" was not installed Correctly. Has any one had it? Can you help me?

Find out what that third party software the kext file belongs to and update or use the developers method to uninstall the third party software responsible for it.
I suspect it's a iTunes extension perhaps?
You also can use the manual method of Finder > Go > Computer and opening your drive, then your System/Library/Extensions folder and looking for the file and moving it out onto the desktop, you will need to be in Admin user and use your password, then reboot to clear the random access memory. However this method doesn't remove the parent program you still need to do that.
How to uninstall/install software on your Mac
The kext file wasn't loaded, so it's not running, but removing it from the Extensions folder or uninstalling what put it there will solve your notification problem as that's all it appears to be.

How to make boot camp install my windows 7 ISO without a Cd? Broken optical drive...

So yeah, my internal optical drive is dead and i am not paying for a repair nor an external drive.
Boot camp keeps prompting me to install a windows 7, but tough luck for me doing that. I found a tutorial online that suggests modifying the info.plist file of Boot Camp Assisant like so:
once all of the above is complete you can edit the 'info.plist' file in TextEdit (or another editor, like Xcode if you prefer). what you want to do is add a string to let 'Boot Camp Assistant' recognize your machine like it would a Macbook Air. use the 'System Profiler' Hardware Overview to identify your "Model Identifier" (i.e. mine is: MacBookPro5,2). using this, you can write your model into the file using a line like:
<string>MBP52</string>
this string should be placed in the array section found at the very end of 'info.plist'. it is recommended to add it to the end or beginning of the array ..for me it needed to be at the beginning.
you will know this is successful by opening 'Boot Camp Assistant' and finding all three tasks are now available.. the first choice being "Create a Windows 7 install disk".
I tried doing just that, but my macbook's System profiler ID'ed it as MacBook 5,1 so my string looked like: <string>MB51</string>
Go figure, i'm not seeing the new options to install windows ISO to a external usb drive...
Ive been having problems with this for three days, I NEED HELP

Forgot to specify:
Im using an older Unibody Macbook (back when they were not all macbook pro's) 2008ish with Snow leopard 1.6.8

I just dont have the option to install windows 7 in any other form that a cd

Boot Camp 2.1 Vista 64 MAC BOOK

Hello
I just attempt to install Vista x64 on my MacBook, unfortunately unsuccessfully, first of all, when I purchased my MacBook back in the days I've had small problem even with Vista 32 bit, when after installation of Vista, it freezes all the way at the end and I even took to Apple store but their "Genies" refused helping me as he said this is "Microsoft" and you need to contact Microsoft not Apple for that, I'm on the other end think that this isn't Microsoft but whatever, the "workaround" here is to hit power button let it shutdown and then start it and it goes right into Windows as there is no problem... back to Boot Camp issue, after Windows is installed I went and download recent version of BootCamp 2.1 for Windows Vista 64 (http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/bootcampupdate21forwindowsvista64.html) yet, whenever I run it, it saying that it needs Administrative rights to run it, I click "Ok/Continue" to grant it, and after this nothing happens... I tried to install Boot Camp drivers that came on DVD with Leopard, they start installing vs 2.1 where they just don’t, yet during installation process, I get several errors that I have to hit "Ignore"... it' like Apple takes it after Microsoft whenever it comes to Windows stuff, THEY DON’T TEST DRIVERS AT ALL!
Anyone else had this issue? Or knows what to do with it?

My Mac is now running Vista 64-bit properly.
I had install BC 2.1 32-bit because I couldn't get 64-bit to run and I had used what was on the retail Leopard DVD.
I was going to uninstall BootCamp but I had just done Complete Backup, so I went ahead, and installed torrent, Apple update tried and failed to install 2.1 64-bit so I used the standalone installer and that went 100% which is a first, no errors. Has the BootCamp tray item, BC control panel, and when I turn on the UPS, it no longer auto boots. It waits for power button.
Leopard 10.5.0 DVDs sure look like they need to be updated, and why not put BC 2.01 or even 2.1 out in a full install? That would bypass needing Leopard. Weird. I've never used torrent before except for linux ISO and I held off as long as I could. I was also ready to throw in the towel, too!
