Flying RC helicopters on Boot Camp or at least trying to!

After lots of grief and a trip to the Mac store, I finally got my MacBook Pro (MBP) up and running again.The Mac Store replaced my optical drive and I have added another drive externally.
I just installed Boot Camp in a 32 MB partition and it's running fine!
However, I am still having problems installing Hanger 9's FSOne Simulator for Radio Controlled Model Airplanes.
The program comes on four disks. I have installed or witnessed the installation of this program on a couple of other Pee Cees. Each disk takes several hours to load and when each disk has finished it automatically ejects and asked for the next disk in the series. Some computers take 5 or 6 hours to complete entire installation.
However, when I start with installation disk #1, it works normally up through the identification number. I enter the number, it's accepted and for about 50 seconds it shows data going from disk to hard drive normally. However, at about 50 seconds I get a message saying it wants data on disk #2, but it doesn't eject #1. To get control back I have to abort the installation and go back to square. I have even tried putting disk 2 into a second drive and pointing to that drive when asked, but that did not work either.
Is there anybody out there who is successfully flying hanger 9 in Boot Camp mode?
Anybody got any good ideas as to what might be my problem? Very frustrating!
Thanks
Dan Page

Your title caught my attention, but I am actually using Realflight.. I actually only installed a bootcamp partition because of that software..
You haven't said what version of windoze you installed. Bootcamp it not an OS, it is just a set of drivers that allow a mac to run windoze..
Your installation problems may be more related to whatever windoze OS you are using, as opposed to anything with your Mac or Mac OS or Bootcamp..
Also, I suspect you can get some more direct advice by looking for a FSOne Forum...

  • Latest Windows 8.1 update under Boot Camp loses my cursor

    I was having no problems running Windows 8.1 under Boot Camp on my MacBook Pro Retina (2012) with the latest Boot Camp drivers until I tried downloading Microsoft's latest major update to Windows 8.1 (KB2919355). After installing the update, I lost my cursor. The trackpad and a USB mouse both "worked" by highlighting icons and windows at random, but without a cursor I'm flying blind. It seems to be a video or screen driver issue. I chatted with Apple and spoke to Microsoft on the phone. They both suggested that I uninstall the update, which I have done. And that does bring back my cursor. The only hope is that Apple and Microsoft can work out this problem between the Apple drivers and the Microsoft update. I understand that this latest Microsoft update is a prerequisite for future Microsoft updates, so I hope they straighten this out. Is anyone else suffering from this problem?

    Hi
    I have exactly the same problem on my MacBook Pro Retina (early 2013). After updating from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 (KB2919355) the mouse cursor is invisible on the desktop. On the Lockscreen and Sign In screen the cursor is visible. My resolution is 1920x1200. I connected also another "normal" mouse device and I have the same effect.
    When starting Windows in Safe mode the cursor is visible. When uninstalling the update KB2919355 everything works again.

    I use the latest version of BootCamp http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1720.
    Thank you to solve this issue.

  • How can I use Boot Camp in Mountain Lion to mount Windows XP?

    I would like to use Windows XP on my 2009 13" MBP in Boot Camp? I have tried and it only asks for Windows 7 and when I use XP it says unable to install.
    1. Is this usual?
    2. If so, is there a work around?
    I do not have Windows 7 nor will I purchase it. I want to use this computer primarily as Widows XP as my new 2012 MBP is for Mac! Please help!
    Thank you!

    I concur with dalstott with the following additional information:
    1.  I am currently typing on my 2009 MBP.  I installed Windows XP in Bootcamp soon after I purchased it.  I then upgraded it to Snow Leopard and then later to Lion, and Lion is what I run today.
    Bootcamp continues to function with Windows XP installed.  I also have Parallels 7, and, as one of the features of Parallels, I am able to use the Bootcamp partition to run Windows XP within Parallels, as well, for concurrent use of Windows XP and Mac OS X Lion (saving me the duplication of hard disk space if I had to have both the Bootcamp partition and the very large file that Parallels would create for Windows XP).
    2.  There may well be a way for you to install Bootcamp and Windows XP in Mountain Lion without restoring Snow Leopard:
    This method requires access to a WIndows 7 upgrade disc, but you do not need the serial number and you never actually upgrade to WIndows 7 (stop after Step 8):
    User Tip: BootCamp - Install Windows XP & then Windows 7
    NOTE: Although the author of this User Tip suggests that it will work on all Macs running Mt. Lion, if you read the thread, you will see that others have had problems, and my post suggesting that this method will only work if the Mac could originally install Bootcamp with Windows XP such as yours and mine.
    3.  While searching for tip #2, I also came up with this suggestion:
    Installing WinXP on Lion or above without BootCamp
    Good luck and be sure to come back and let us know what works for you!

  • My DVD drive is now not recognized in boot camp.

    I just found the Matshita DVD-R UJ-898 is no longer recognized in Boot Camp Win 7.  Tried uninstalling in Device Manager but the driver fails to load upon restart and also fails when trying to update.  The DVD drive works fine in OSX Lion so I know the drive is ok.  It worked fine when I first installed Windows 7 in Boot camp last year.  This is an early 2011 macbook Pro 17 with Lion.  All updates have been installed.  Hadn't used the drive in Win 7 for a long time so not sure when it ceased to work.

    Found the solution.  Microsoft Fix-It found and made the driver repairs automatically.

  • Installing Windows 7 in Boot Camp with iso

    I have downloaded an .iso file with Windows 7 on but I can't install it in Boot Camp. I've tried several things with no luck.
    1. For the first, when I start up Boot Camp assistant I can't choose to "Create a Windows 7 install disk". I only have the two bottom options, the one for downloading support software and the one for installing windows 7. So I can't use my .iso file there.
    2. I tried to burn a bootable dvd with the .iso file. I burned it on a Windows PC since my superdrive won't burn on the discs I've got (DVD+R). The disc works properly on the Windows PC but when i mount it in my Macbook I only get a popup that says I've put in a blank disc and some options of what I wan't to do next.
    3. I tried to make a bootable flash drive and that pops up in finder, but the Boot Camp assistant won't recognize it and says I have to put in a Windows 7 install disc.
    4. I also tried to open the image file in disc utility, but the result is the same as if I'm trying with a flash drive.
    I'm out of ideas now so it would be nice if someone else knew any other possibilites to install Windows 7 in Boot Camp.
    Or maybe there is an solution for the things I've alleready tried?
    I'm using a MacBook Pro late 2008

    Does it boot off the internal?
    Is the external a full copy of your working system?> whew! then you can always wipe it clean and start over.
    As long as the partition was created properly.... though 50GB can work it can also be slim fit in the end.
    Under the worst condition - and the Mini is one of the worst, too - two minutes maybe to restart.
    External because there never was an internal DVD player?
    zap pram.
    did you buy DVD or burn DVD? if burned, then that is likely cultprit Redo at slowest burn speed (2x) with verify.
    Heck, even Windows 7 SP1 has been implicated on some were pre-SP1 worked.
    For a test, there is Windows 8 RP for free. And Parallels 7 will set up a VM for you with the whole download and inistall. Not everyone needs to run natively.

  • Boot Camp error when installing XP - cyclic redundancy check

    I am trying to install Windows XP through boot camp and I have tried settting up using NTFS or FAT and when it go to the XP installation screen I kept getting an error: Data Error (cyclic redundancy check).
    Does anyone know if there is anyway to solve this issue?

    Yeah, cray-z is right.  Check that boot sector anti virus is turned off.  If that is not the problem check your h/d jumper settings or try loading the default bios settings, and if still no luck write zeros to the first 50 (I think and I will probably be corrected) sectors in your hard drive.  I had the same problem and when I called western digital these where the steps the customer service guy told me to follow.
         

  • Boot camp Windows 8.1 new rMBP / Mavericks

    So, my shiny new 13" retina MBP (first Mac product) arrived Thursday and I decided yesterday would be the day I'd Bootcamp Windows 8.1.
    I had a plethora of issues, some of which I got through by mining the interweb for info, but one stumped me altogether. I thought I'd share the experience/story to a) hopefully help out other users and b) see if anyone can help me complete the process (What follows is something of an unsuccinct summary of 3 hours of my life. Should you be busy or have anything else to do, feel free not to get bored reading it and then lambast me in the comments for wasting so much of your time):
    Ingredients:
    1off 13" retina MBP running OSX 10.9, which I've affectionately named "Tom" (Maverick -> Top Gun -> Tom Cruise) ... anyway
    1off MSDN 64bit Windows 8.1 Enterprise Edition .iso
    1off 8gb USB stick
    Method:
    - Loaded Boot Camp Assistant in Utilities
    - Tried tried to load my .iso unto the memory stick
    1st issue encountered:
         - Error: "Boot Camp only supports 64-bit Windows installation on this platform. Please use a ISO file for 64-bit Windows installation"
    1st issue resolution:    
         - Frustrated but undettered I repeatedly re-tried and even re-downlaoded the 64-bit .iso from MSDN. No joy. Some research on the net revealed that for Boot      Camp 5, native to Mavericks, will not support x32-bit Windows installs. For whatever reason, Bootcamp thinks my iso is 32-bit. Why? Christ knows. Solution?      Amend the info.plist file within Boot Camp Assistant as advised here. Now this spawned a      fang-toothed mini-issue of its own, as on changing the      info.plist file exactly as instructed, Boot Camp Assistant would now no longer work. Rather, it would tell me it has crashed and sent an error message back to      Apple ... grass.
         More research and a new solution: Get an older version of Boot Camp Assistant. 
    Tip - There is a difference between Bootcamp Support Software (Windows drivers etc) and a Boot Camp Assistant version. It took a couple of support software downloads before I discovered this.
         - Got hold of a version of Boot Camp 4, which seemed less princessy about whether my Windows iso seemed to be 32 or 64-bit, and started creating the      install on my USB stick.
    2nd issue encountered:
         - Error: "Windows Support Software Not Available for Download"
    2nd issue resolution:
         - Frustrated but undettered I tried a couple more times thinking perhaps the Apple server from which I was trying to download support software was having      some issues. Some more research revealed you can download the Support Software Packages yourself. At this point a penny dropped somewhere behind      my eyes. In my downloads folder was a Bootcamp 5.0.5 software package I'd previously downloaded mistakenly thinking it was a different version of Boot      Camp Assistant. Copied it onto a separate USB stick (having torn the house apart to find one). Deselected the middle option in Bootcamp 4 to download the      Support Software (drivers) and continued about my business.
    - My new, amenable, version of BootCamp Assistant guided me through the setup process (partitioning the disc etc.) and after a reboot I eventually found myself looking at a Windows 8.1 setup screen. Success!! No... not yet...
    - With Windows 8.1 installed I copied the Bootcamp 5 support folder (drivers) onto my Windows desktop and double-clicked the install.exe with a confidence that turned out to be entirely unwarranted as it provoked the following error...
    3rd issue encountered:
         - Error: "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model"
    3rd issue resolution:
         - Frustrated, I gently put my new Macbook down and went to get a whiskey (note: this is not advised). Having calmed my nerves I did some more research. I      tried Troubleshoot Compatibility and running as Admin solutions to no avail.
    Tip - Transversing a Windows OS with no Mac keyboard/touchpad drivers is a challenge in itself. Shift F10 also functions as right-click, alternatively, have a USB mouse on hand.
         What did work, was navigating via a Command Prompt to the Bootcamp folder I'd copied to the desktop (various youtube videos exist on how to move around      folders in cmd if you don't know how) C:\...\BootCamp\Drivers\Apple\BootCamp.msi
         My drivers started installing. Success?!?! ...nearly
    4th issue encountered:
         No wireless adapter detected
    4th issue resolution:
         - Frustrated and now dehydrated, thanks to a Scottish single malt, I did some more internet mining and discovered this also was not a unique problem. I      managed to obtain a Windows 7 Broadcom driver for a different Mac network adapter (I couldn't at this point identify what type of network adapter was living      in unused hibernation under my keyboard somewhere, but for some reason the driver within the Bootcamp Support Software wasn't working). But sadly this      didn't work.
    At this point I'd lost most of my evening and half of Strictly Come Dancing, and so decided to knock it on the head.
    I hope that some of the above may prove useful for people struggling with one or two of the same problems; at the very least it's encouraging to know you're not the only one.
    Regarding my situation, if there's a root cause to my problems (likely circulating around my own naivety or stupidity) I'd be very grateful for any help in identifying it, but please be patient; I'm not a tech guru, I'm literally just a guy with a new macbook and little computing experience.
    Specifically I'd love some feedback or assistance as to how I might enable the Network Adapter in Windows - perhaps where I might find the driver specific to my machine?
    In all, considering how many posts and articles there are from people struggling with Boot Camp, it doesn't seem like it fits the user friendly experience Apple markets itself on.
    Thanks in advance.

    In Thehatters defence, this was initially posted in the MacbookPro forum and then moved to Boot Camp,
    If you have any joy solving your trackpad device driver issue, feel free to post here (there might be a similar fix for my  wireless adapter device)
    Thanks

  • Crysis Warhead 64-bit Won't Work with Windows 7 64-bit Under Boot Camp

    Hi. I installed the patch 1.1 for Crysis Warhead which has the 64-bit version of the game which I'm running under Windows 7 64-bit on Boot Camp and I've tried the the compatibility mode (Vista to Vista SP2). I've also updated the ATI drivers as well as the Boot Camp drivers. I'm using the latest Snow Leopard.
    When I click on the game's application (64-bit version), it would launch then it goes black with just the mouse cursor (you can move it about) which seems to be in low resolution and I guess it would crash so I would push the button on this late iMac 2009 and Windows would go back to the desktop then shutdown.
    Has anyone made Crysis Warhead 64-bit work with Boot Camp Win7 64-bit with this iMac (it has the ATI 4850)? Is this because it's Boot Camp or that it's Windows 64-bit or is it the ATI graphics chip? Thank you in advance. Gbu.
    Message was edited by: Alvin777

    since bootcamp allows windows to run natively, it's not an imac issue, but rather an issue with your windows, so you probably get better answers in a windows forum or the crysis forums.
    in any case, installing newer ATI drivers (ati.com) might help, but it's just a wild guess

  • "Install Windows 7 or later version" check box not showing up in Boot Camp

    I am following a Reddit guide to dual boot Windows 7 on my late-2011 MBP. I've done every step up to installing Windows 7, but there is no check box to "Install Windows 7 or later" in Boot Camp. I've tried several other resources but none mention this. There is a "Remove Windows 7 or later version" check box which has a description stating it can install a Windows partition as well, but when I select it and click to go ahead it only has a selection to remove a Windows partition. I hope I'm just having a brain **** here, because I've been at this for a minute and it's causing hair loss at 21. Haha.
    Ohh, and here's the guide I'm following: http://sampower.ie/windows-7-on-mavericks-via-bootcamp-and-usb/

    your mac seems to think you had installed windows before
    do you have more than 1 partition on your drive, if so, boot camp assistant will not work
    if not, restart your mac and do a pram reset
    open disk utility and repair permissions twice
    open bca and try again

  • Dual Monitors in Boot Camp

    I have Vista installed under Boot Camp and I am trying to use an external monitor hooked up to my MacBook Pro. However, I have encountered some problems trying to do this. When hooked up the external monitor, the external monitor screen flickers and does not display in the correct pixel ratio. What do I have to do to get the monitor to display properly?

    Hi,
    have you tried the Drivers Apple mentions in this document ?

  • Resolve trouble between Parallels and Windows under Boot Camp

    After seeing several threads relating to this issue, I decided to make this it's own thread instead of trying to reply to each. hopkinsvscloudlivestream.blogspot.com/2013/03/watch-hopkins-vs-cloud-live-stream-2013.html This article NOW resolves all issues pertaining to using Windows under Boot Camp through Parallels, INCLUDING activation. Hopefully Parallels will be able to integrate these fixes into a future release.
    Before doing anything, I would recommend preparing your existing Windows installation under Boot Camp, for Parallels, before trying to access it through Parallels. If you have already installed Parallels and now have problems, don't worry, this article should address and resolve these issues as well.
    Something to know upfront: using your existing Boot Camp installation with Parallels will most likely require you to activate your Windows installation a second time. The reasons for this are addressed in Section 4 of this article.
    Section 1: Preparing your Boot Camp Installation for Parallels
    (If you already tried to access your Boot Camp installation through Parallels, and can no longer get into Windows through Boot Camp or Parallels, please skip this step and come back to it after you have completed Section 2.)

    Personally, I think the software fix is a band-aid for a larger hardware problem, probably involving the power management circuitry. I think the reason Photo Booth and QuietMBP and Windows XP all work to silence the noise is because they draw more power by using more CPU, and it's the extra power draw that kills the noise. Nothing scientific, mind you, just a hunch.
    What if your speakers made an annoying hum that went away whenever you started playing music through them in iTunes? Would you still think it's a software problem? I think it's a similar situation here - where software can cover up the issue but not really fix it...

  • Having issues with installing Windows XP on Boot Camp

    I installed the latest firmware for my MBP along with Boot Camp. I then tried to install a copy of Windows XP that I got from my friend (we'll name him Mr.Limewire). Anyways, I've tried to use 2 different copies of Windows XP and Boot Camp does not detect the cd still (it keeps saying to insert the Win xp cd). I believe I have using the full version of Windows XP. If a copy of XP is burnt on a Mac would that affect anything?

    You really need to use a legitimate XP installation CD - a downloaded copy isn't worth the time for many reasons. Even if you did get it running, you can't register it and will have to reinstall a valid copy all over again to use it.
    Also read the BootCamp FAQ's - XP must be a service pack 2 (SP2) release. If you don't see a folder "SP2" on the CD or some reference to it then you likely have a pre-SP2 release.
    Another option is to slipstream SP2 and create an updated XP installation CD -
    http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxpsp2slipstream.asp
    but even this would be waste of time without a valid XP install disc.

  • Enormous frustration over Boot Camp installation of Win 7 64bit

    Please help, I am totally frustrated after days and days of trying to install windows 7 on my iMac 11,2  (21.5”, i3, mid 2010).
    So, my super drive is dead and currently I don’t have an option to replace it. I recently upgraded my OS to 10.8.3. Because my iMac is having an optical drive, in Boot Camp Assistant there was a grayed out option to create bootable USB drive. I edited info.plist file, so I finally got that option right, but no metter what, I can’t boot Windows 7 64bit installation. I’ve tried numerous ways to do that. I tried standard create USB in Boot Camp assistant, I’ve tried Windows download DVD/USB tool, I’ve tried Rufus, BootInIc, I’ve tried more than 10 different Kingston/Verbatim/No name/Corsair/Patriot USB sticks, I’ve tried several WD/Toshiba/Transcend/Silicon Power external drives formatted both fat32 and NTFS (when formatting external drive in fat32, I was reducing the external drive’s size with diskpart/create partition primary commands in windows. EVERY SINGLE TIME after partitioning the hard drive in Boot Camp Assistant, my computer restarts and there was a “No bootable device” screen. I’ve than tried Refit, there I get an option to boot from external drives/usb sticks, but than after clicking on a boot windows from USB I also get the “no bootable device” screen. I’ve tried naming sticks different (because some people are saying that it must be named WININSTALL, but without any success)
    Thank you very very much in advance, currently I don’t know what to do next.

    If your iMac came with an internal optical drive you can not use the USB port to install Windows. Get the optical drive fixed.

  • Boot camp re-install error 2753

    Hi everyone!
    I just solved a big problem with my boot camp i spend 7 hours...
    MAC BOOK PRO
    WINDOWS 7
    BOOT CAMP 3.2
    After deleting boot camp 3.2 i tried to install new boot camp 3.3 but it doesnt work.
    The most interesting - boot camp 3.2, 3.1, 3.0 doesnt setup too. - Error 2753.
    I go to the internet to find answer. A few peoples wrote to download and install BootCamp 2.0.1, and after it 3... I found only version for xp and vista. No for win7.
    After 7 hour i found a solution. Error 2753 happens because of file c:/windows/system32/AppleOSSMgr.exe. I just deleted it and try to setup again. And it works!
    For all who receive error 2753 when setup bootcamp! Just try to delete file  c:/windows/system32/AppleOSSMgr.exe
    IT SIMPLY WORKS!
    If it does not work for you - look up Windows Installer LOGS to see in what moment happens error.

    There were some foolish suggestions, the part of going back to 2.0. typo?
    Did you mean "delete" or proper method, uninstall?
    Apple made it messy, getting better now, but you needed 3.0, and then upgrade to get 3.3.
    Apple OS Switcher part of Apple Services msconfig and found in control panel Boot Camp is "handy" but not 100% essential (I ran Mac w/ Windows only and never needed to change default / could be done from Mac side Startup Disk and write the variable to NVRAM).
    Going back to 3.0 is all. And when Lion and BC 4.0 came out and were buggy, people needed to uninstall BC 4.0, then go back to SL DVD BC 3.0.
    Editorial: (skip if you are so inclinded):
    What Apple should have and has transitioned to is to download the newest full package.
    That was suppose to be part of Boot Camp Assistant, and intro'd in 10.6.6, but it rarely (10% success?) worked (more field testing, us) and got better with 10.6.8.
    Of course with LION this became the only method to get a set of Windows drivers, BCA and wait and download and store locally.
    MS Installer Cleanup Utility use to be helpful for such chores.
    Turning off services is still possible along wth Startupitems.
    Had you asked here, can't recall, but Windows 7 came out after 10.6, Apple though didn't rewrite BC 3.0, they just said, and confused people, with "you need Boot Camp 3.1" and of course in some cases 3.0 was so bad people could not reboot into Windows and HFS read-only was also 'hazardous.'
    Sometimes seems like a) $30 for Lion just for drivers, and b) Intel and every motherboard manuf has to provide drivers for their products to add chipset support. And it is not this bad or require old out of date buggy drivers in order to install the correct ones you need.
    End Editorial / Back to OP and discussion:
    I don't recall in 5 yrs ever once seeing that error code mentioned and posted here. Kind of thing that sticks and I'd remember, and bookmark as well as search on MS and Bing.

Maybe you are looking for
