Green pixels on boot camp only
Hello
Since some time I have flickering green pixels in my dsiplay when I boot into Windows. In OSX the display is fine. Moreover is not a display issue as my mouse can cover the green pixels.
It seems the green pixels appear as soon as the EFI loads whatever legacy bios it uses to boot windows, so it does not seem to be a windows driver issue.
It is a 2007 iMac, Lion and Windos 7.
Anyone have an idea? Have there been other similar reports? I cant seem to find anything.
BR
Maybe the VRAM is involved, but I have run VRAM checks and it seems ok.

Bootcamp rejects the ISO file made from a windows 8.1 disc with the error message "Boot Camp only supports Windows 7 or later installation on this platform. Please use an ISO file for Windows 7 or later installation."
How do I get past this?Hi Loner T
No the ISO is just 64bit. I bought a shrink wrapped copy of 8.1 full version. It has two discs, one for 32bit and one for 64bit. I used the 64bit disc.
I inserted it in an older iMac that has a dvd drive, and shared that across to my new iMac. I used disc utility to create a disc image following instructions I found here...

This created an ISO file. I then went into bootcamp but when I tried to use the ISO file to create a boot USB it failed with the error above.

I try to install windows7 system on my macbook air, which version is 10.8.5. When I open the bootcamp, it let me to choose a windows ISO image, which I've already downloaded from this website: http://www.w7forums.com/threads/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-image-downloads.12325 /, it also asked me to select a USB drive, which is kingston that has 8GB. Then when I clicked "continue", it said that "Your bootable USB drive could not be created" "Boot Camp only supports 64-bit Windows installation on this platform. Please use an ISO file for 64-bit Windows installation." But actually the ISO image I downloaded is 64-bit windows7. I don't know why this would happen. Could someone help me please!!
Thanks for your feedbakc Kiranjj!
I identified the reason to be that the W8 installation file didn't download completely from a Mac OS-device. I downloaded from another Win-device and the moved the installation file with a USB-stick and then everything worked diectly! But thanks anyway. -
Can i load windows vista even if boot camp only supports windows 7?
Can i still load windows vista, even if boot camp now only seems now to support windows 7? I had loaded it previously same mac same windows vista but took it off becuase of a hardware issue. now when i want to use it again (playing games mostly) i can load vista but all sotes of things are not working internet connection and graphics and the driver disk that is made through bootcamp says noy that in order to use it i need to be running windows 7 .
Can anyone help
Cheers
RobWelcome to the Apple Support Communities
On OS X Mountain Lion, Boot Camp only supports Windows 7, so you can't install Windows Vista or XP, and if you install Windows Vista or XP, you won't be able to install Boot Camp drivers because they aren't supported under XP and Vista.
If your Mac came with DVDs, insert the Mac OS X DVD (or the Snow Leopard DVD) that came with the computer and install Boot Camp drivers. If your Mac didn't come with DVDs, you can't get Boot Camp drivers for Vista -
Hi I have been trying to partition my hard drive on my new Mac so that I can run some windows specific programs and I wanted to use Windows Xp because I beleive it to be suitable for my needs + becuase its now an older OS it's cheaper.
My version of Mac is running the Lion operating system and when I start up the boot camp assitant I only get the option to install windows 7. If I proceed and put in the XP installer disc I get a message "Installer disc not found- insert disc and wait a few moments".
The Xp disc is supposed to be a full version- at least thats what the guy who sold it to me claims, anyone any solutions on how to proceed or do I have to buy Windows 7?
ChrisWith OSX Lion Apple has removed support for Windows XP and Windows Vista from BootCamp.
That leasves only Windows 7 as a viable option to use.
You can however use Virtualization apps like the free VirtualBox to install and run XP on your Mac.
Commercial ones are Parallels and VMWare Fusion.

Intel MAC w/ Boot Camp only reboots in XP
running tiger (10.4x ?)with Boot Camp and only reboots in XP no matter which keys you hold down or which startup disk you select in the XP Control Panel.
Also somewhere along the line my MAC mouse and keyboard no longer function.
Help"Also somewhere along the line my MAC mouse and keyboard no longer function."
This would seem to be the reason you can't choose which to boot into when you restart. If the keyboard is not recognized then pressing keys will do no good. Is your keyboard wireless? You may need to get a wired one until you get everything setup and working the way you want it, then afterwards try setting up the wireless one. -
Cannot install Windows 7 32-bit using Boot Camp
I have one of the new iMacs (late 2012) and I can't install Windows 7 32-bit using Boot Camp. Whenever I try to being the installation using the Boot Camp Assistant, I always get the following message: "Need 64-bit Windows installation USB drive or DVD. Boot Camp only supports 64-bit Windows installation on this platform. Please use an USB drive or DVD which contains 64-bit Windows". I have successfully installed 32-bit Windows on my Macbook Pro that is running the same version of Mac OS X and Boot Camp, but I don't know why on this new iMac it doesn't allow me to. Apple's documentation states that I should be able to install either 32-bit and 64-bit without any problem, but this is not the case here. I can't find anything about this problem/error on the Internet either. HELP!!!

Yes, circumstances do change but if Apple is, as they claim to be, serious about seamlessly migrating what is still a large and dominant market share of users from Windows, supporting 32 bit versions is not a nice to have, but a must have.
I don't see why users have to make excuses when there is a clear shortfall of what is promised.
In other discussions, there is talk of an opportunity for Apple to make a significant impact, as Windows 8 has deviated so much from the comfort zone of traditional Windows users. But to make that change, Macs have to support what is still a primarily 32 bit environment in the installed base.
As for the use of VMs, I had a tough time migrating out of Parallels 6 after an upgrade to Mountain Lion broke compatibility so IMHO it is not a long term solution unless you are happy to hand out $50 every 2-3 years just to support the same functionality.
Use Virtual Box, it's free.
32 bit may have a reasonable user base but it's going away fast, if you must use 32 bit Windows and won't use a VM your choice is limited.
Buy a PC, or buy an older Mac.
The rest of your post is speculative and I won't go there. -
How do I make a clone of the Boot camp partition?
My MacBook Air (10.6.8) is having problems and I need to send it away for repairs. Before I do that I want to make a clone of everything and put it on my new MacBook Pro (10.7.2)
I am making a clone of the Mac partition using Carbon Copy Cloner. That has worked well as a backup for me.
The only problem is I need to make a clone of the Boot camp partition (Windows partition) and I don't know how.
I want to make an exact clone so it has all the operating system, files and everything.
The other question is when should I make a Bootcamp partition?
Should I migrate the clone to the new mac using Migration Assistant, and then make a boot camp partition? And then what are the exact steps putting the clone onto the boot camp partition?
Thanks for any help.Here are some previous coments made on this forun regarding backup of a Boot Camp partition. I use Paragon HDMSuite 2011.
Casper 6 does seem to work;
WinClone was handy for XP users but doesn't for instance check for errors during the backup only during restore. Winclone was discontinued at 2.2, all 2.3 versions are hacks (removal of the OS check seems to be the main thing) There has been no deveoplment or support for a while now.
Acronis 2011 w/ plus pak, didn't work well previously
Ghost 15 - probably not
Casper 6 works for Windows on Boot Camp only
CopyCatX is more lengthy and sector copy so takes the longest.
Paragon Hard Drive Suite 2011 because it works great
and they have CampTune
Windows 7 system backup and restore - Apple's goofy HFS read-only interferes with system and file backup.
I have also used Casper, Clonezilla and Paragon but less regularly, Casper failed a few times, I stopped using it, Clonezilla worked but took forever (for me) Paragon (which I have only used twice) was the best but my sample is limited.
I have restored from DU, CCC, SuperDuper and TM, they all worked, TM was slower but not a lot, you can boot from the others, which I prefer.
HDM 2011 can do either offline or online backups, the difference is that with an offline backup, the entire partition (or disk) is unallocated. In an online backup, the backup utility is running against a partition that may be making changes to itself. When you run CCC or SD! in OS X, you're running an online backup. However, I would recommend (at least for the first backup) that you boot from the HDM recovery CD to do an offline backup. This will ensure that you have an *exact* copy of the parition/disk.
Since this is you first time backing up your partition, I would suggest using one of the Backup Wizards. They'll guide you through the backup process and keep you from doing something wrong Similarly, use the Restore Wizard to restore your partition/drive.
HDMS 2011- back up a dual-boot Mac to an external USB drive, do:
1) Boot from the Recovery Disk (I'm assuming that the backup hard drive is attached before you reboot)
2) Select Paragon Hard Disk Manager
3) Launch the Backup Wizard by selecting Wizards > Backup Wizard
4) Select the Mac hard disk (not the partition) where it asks "what to backup"
5) On the Backup Destination page, select "Save data to any local drive or a network share"
6) Hit the radio button for the "Save to local drive option" (unless you got a boatload of DVD's )
7) Select the external USB drive as the backup destination
8) Look over and correct the name and comments
9) Hit Next to start the backup
When it's done, you have an entire copy of your Mac's HD saved to external media.
If you need to recover your HD, just run the Recovery Wizard and reverse the process. -
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 -
Boot Camp repair via Hybrid MBR fix after 5+ partitions
With the understanding that Boot Camp only formally supports a Windows boot upon creation from a single Mac OSX data partition, I'm trying to determine if a fix exists for the following boot setup. The end result I'm pursing is a triple boot mac setup with Mavericks, Win7, and Ubuntu. This applies to the bootcamp subject because it is not possible to install Windows 7 without Bootcamp due to USB3 drivers at install on this model [2014 Macbook Pro]. Thus making the Win7 Boot Camp task a required first step. The partition edits after this to make room Linux end up messing with the hybrid MBR boot setup that Boot Camp created - resulting in no available Windows boot option. A bit of research tells me that this Boot Camp partition can be repaired with some manual hybrid MBR work as long as a total of 4 partitions are present.
My question is can an alternate (or new) hybrid MBR approach support a fix for an already existing Boot Camp partitions while 5+ partitions exist on the same disk? If at all possible, what are the risks involved?
Current State:
As of now, I have the bootcamp hybrid MBR set up properly with Win 7 working -- though knowing any partition edit will mess this up. Using rEFInd boot manager already, and plan to incorporate that for the final setup. Would be hesitant to drop the Apple Recovery Partition if at all possible.

Do I need to re-install all of my Boot Camp software?
I recently installed a new internal hard drive to my MacBook. This is my old configuration:
13 inch Aluminum Late 2008 MacBook
Processor 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53).
160 GB SATA disk as my hard drive a d 4 GB of memory
Old Configuration:
Name: Macintosh HD
Format: Mac OS Extended (journaled)
Size: 132.5 GB
Name: BOOTCAMP
Format: Windows NT File System (NTFS)
Size: 26.69 GB
When I was partitioning the new drive I did so as follows:
Name: Macintosh HD
Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Size: 973.51 GB
Name: BOOTCAMP
Format: MS-DOS (FAT) --- This was the only option that I was given that I thought would work. I did not have the option of "Windows NT File System (NTFS) to choose from.
Previous to the new internal hard drive I had Boot Camp installed and I would go into system preferences and change my start up disk to Boot Camp whenever I needed to go into Windows because I had to use software not available for Mac. I've now installed the new hard drive and cloned the old drive to the new drive partioning it as shown above.
However, ever since I did this I have not been able to go into the Boot Camp and use my Windows. All of the information seems to be there. However, it isn't showing in the system preferences - start up disk -- as a start up disk option. Therefore I assume it didn't clone correctly, or at least not in a way to use it the way I was. I also assume if it isn't running as it was before now I must have done something wrong.
Is there anyone who can tell me what to do from here? Do I need to re-install Windows? Do I need to re-partion the drive? I am sorry for my ignorance and would really appreicate any advice. I am unsure of where to go from here. I've tried to resolve this problem in the past. It wasn't until recently that I really need to get things back to normal in order to use my Windows side. Thank you in advance for any help.Did you clone the drive with Winclone, or a Windows backup/clone application? There have been problems with many of these programs in the past and below are some notes I have taken in that regard.

Winclone allows you to migrate your Bootcamp partition from one Mac to another Mac and make sure Windows will boot. However, if the processor (for example, Core Duo or i7) is a different type, the restored version of Windows may not be supported or be able to run on the new Mac. If you are migrating between Macs that are the same type (MacBook Air to MacBook Air, for example), you will have the greatest chance of success. You can try to restore Winclone images between different types of Macs (for example, a Mac Pro to a Mac Mini), but be aware that if Windows boots but does not reach the desktop, it is probably not an issue with Winclone, but rather the change in processor type. -
Having trouble installing windows 8.1 on my new iMac using boot camp

How to clone Boot Camp partition when Winclone does not work
The hard drive in my MacBook Pro is failing. It has 2 partions, one for Apple and the other is a Bootcamp with Windows 7.
I tried repairing it with Disk Utility, which did not work. I also ran DiskWarrior, which resulted in the error message: "Directory cannot be rebuilt due to disk hardware failure". I was able to copy my Apple files through DiskWarrior although there were a couple of errors.
My question is how to clone my Bootcamp Partition. I tried making an image with Disk Utility but it failed. I also tried using Winclone and it failed indicating there were hard drive issues.
Is there another way to try to copy the Bootcamp partition? I can boot to Apple so running a program/app or trying UNIX commands might work.
Thank you in advance.Some previous forum comments I have collected regarding backup of BootCamp.

How much does boot camp take speed from a macbook bro 15
Iam a architecture student and i need to buy a macbook for designing, And some of the program's doesnt work on OS-X such as Revit unfortunately , And i need to know if it does effect to much on the speed, please if anybody knows help me!!!. If its possible how much does it take, 50% 30% of the general speed.
When using Boot Camp, only one OS is running at a time. That OS has sole access to the computer's hardware; it won't affect Mac OS X's performance when running it.
