How can I repair my Bootcamp Windows XP partition?

Hi! I've had Bootcamp for over a year, but last night, when I tired to open an application, Windows crashed giving me a blue screen telling me "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL." I've had this problem sometimes before, but this time, whenever I try to boot from my Windows partition, it starts loading (showing the flag and the little blue bar), and, while still loading, the screen goes black and I have to choose a different configuration. I managed to boot in "Safe Mode with Command Prompt." As it's still loading in the aforementioned mode, it gives me a list of all (prsumably) the drivers on my system, and pauses on "myp.sys" for a few seconds (10-15), at which point it loads normally into safe mode. So I googled my case and it may be that there's a problem with Boot Camp's MBR, but since I'm not a particularly advanced user, I have no idea how to make sure that's the problem. I also tried booting from the Windows XP CD to get to the Recovery Console, but some of the commands (like "FIXMBR") were particularly menacing, so I did not attempt anything. I'm also trying to repair my partition with Disk Utility at the moment, but I suspect it won't do any good. Any ideas?

I re-installed XP over the existing XP, but the opening screen does not show any of my programs or data.  I still have a bootcamp Icon on my desktop and all the programs and dats are there.  How do I re-integrate the system, so I boot to a working Windows XP with my old programs and data?
Thanks for any input.

  • How can I mount / fix my Windows 7 partition?

    So a while ago my Win 7 partition was "unmounted" and it wouldnt show up in my Finder. When I tried mounting it in Disk Utility it would never work. I would click Mount, and it would't do anything. I wasn't really bothered by it since the partition would still show up when I booted and held 'alt'. I could boot Windows fine.
    I was experiencing some problems with my Mac so I figured I'd reinstall the OS. After I did however, the Win 7 partition didnt show up in the 'alt' boot menu. In Disk Utility, the partition still exists, and I still can't mount it. I honestly have no clue what to do, other than to start over again. I REALLY dont want to do that, becuase I have a lot of data on my Win partition.
    So im asking how the flip do i fix this...
    Any help is, obviously, very apprechiated.

    I think you missed my point. Something you've already done has resulted in corruption of the boot loader or boot block making it impossible for you to now boot from your Windows system via your original Boot Camp installation. Reformatting the Windows partition will just remove everything already installed on it, so that would not sound like a good solution for you.
    It may be possible to recover the Windows volume using CampTune, but I don't know that myself. I've not used it. The other possibility is to install a new boot loader:

  • How can I remove the BootCamp partition? as the size i created ws too small to install MS Office on 64Bit Windows 8.1 on MacBook Pro (Aug'13)

    How can I remove the BootCamp partition drive for Windows 8.1, as the size which I created was too small for me to install Microsoft Office onto Windows 8.1 64-BIt. The machine which I have is the MacBook Pro 13' inch purchased in August 2013.

    Either use Paragon's CampTuneX to resize it or use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition and restore the drive to one partition. Then create a new, larger Boot Camp partition. This will remove/delete/erase your Windows system.

  • I updated iTunes to 10.4 version and now it doesn't start and sen a messages "iTunes has detected an error and must be closed". Someone have the same problem and how can we repair our installation insted of change the windows XP installation? Best regard

    Only way to get iMac starting again was to re-install 10.4.4 from DVD, and then update it into 10.4.6. For a while it worked perfectly, just as before.
    Then I tried to print to CD with my EPSON Stylus Photo 950 from Adobe Photoshop Elements (2.0). It didn't print anything, but printer started flashing all lights. The print job was not performed, so I did remove it from the Printer Utility. After that the iMac started "ticking" again, same noise than before, after 10.4.7 installation. I did re-boot iMac. It never started, it does stuck on gray screen (gray block running clockwise). HW test from DVD didn't find any problems (extended search looping 3 times). But Disk Utility found hard drive to have inaccurate node structure, it could not fix it.
    Apple support recommended to use DiskWarrior. However, it does not support (yet) Intel Macs. I haven't got TechTool Pro 4.5.1 anywhere. iMac does start on to FireWire mode (T at boot), but I cannot see the disk from 10.2.8 iMac.
    So, obvisously the problem is not 10.4.7. I believe it to be ESPON printer driver compatibility on Mac OSX. This does not suprise me, EPSON printers *****, I shall never purchase one again. However, disk catalog structure should not get messed by one faulty printer driver!

    You can check to see if SERVEROUTPUT is ON for your environment by typing the following at the SQL*Plus prompt
    SQL > show serveroutput
    serveroutput ON SIZE 1000000 FORMAT WRAPPEDIf it's OFF like shown below:

  • How Can I re-Install Bootcamp? I deleted it from my applications somehow.

    I have recently purchased an i7 core processor MacBook Pro and I am trying to install BootCamp so I can run a Windows program. I have 2 other MacBooks running BootCamp (one Windows XP and the other Windows 7).When I tried to run the Windows XP install DVD the MacBook wouldn't read it (I have an update DVD to upgrade to Windows 7 once XP is installed). Appearently XP is no longer supported by BootCamp, so I will get a Windows 7 install disk.
    I have somehow merged BootCamp and it is no longer in my applications list in Finder. How can I re-install BootCamp? Is there a way to do this without wiping the disk clean and re-installing the Snow Leopard OS?
    I also have a Parallels 6 DVD. Should I just use it and forget running BootCamp? I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 with 4 GB 1067MHz DDR3.
    Thank You For Your Help,
    Curt

    If the computer came with 10.7 Lion installed NEW then you cannot install XP or Vista now. If it's an older one then you can still use XP and upgrade to Lion and it will still work.
    You do not have to install XP in order to Upgrade to W7. It will just erase and install over XP anyway. You cannot merge the OS together like you would with VIsta and W7. That's the only way you can install W7 over XP is a clean install. You already have the legal XP disk so you can just skip that step and just go to installing the Upgrade version of W7 as it is mentioned by Microsoft. There are a few ways of installing with the Upgrade version the easiest way is to just install W7 normally then without updating or authorizing it reinstall over the new install and then you can authorize it and update it normally and all is good.
    I'm not sure what you mean by merged Boot Camp?
    Have you done a search in Spotlight for "Boot Camp Assistant" and see what it says? Worst case scenario you can just re-install (Restore?) 10.6 over itself and it will just reinstall the core OS without deleting anything else. Click on your empty desktop and at the top of the Apple Menu click on Help and type in Reinstalling Mac OS X and follow the instructions.
    Also you do have an Application Disk along with the OS disk to restore applications with, Boot Camp Assistant should be on there, you will just have to make sure to use the Apple Software Updater to make sure it gets updated before you need it.
    As far as using VMWare/Parallels, if you have a heavy duty program that is processor heavy or needs a lot of ram then you may need to use Boot Camp for the native use of the hardware. If you don't need the full Proc or lot's of ram then a Virtual disk is fine. Myself I use both, I can boot into Windows for the heavy programs and stay in the Mac side and use Parallels for the lighter applications. I'm still using 10.6 so I don't have it installed on my Lion HD yet so I don't know how Version 6.x works in Lion.

  • How can I open a second window in iTunes?

    When I see some albums in the the iTunes Store I want to check whether I have some of the songs already. The Search function in the Store only refers to the store and not to my Library. So how can I open a second window in iTunes (one with the Store and one with my Library) to make it easier to compare?
    Thanks

    My understanding it that was removed from iTunes recently (I still run iTunes 7.5 from 2007), so no, not unless you downgrade iTunes (which is not easy).  You can send feedback to Apple about reinstating it but I have yet to see Apple reinstate something that appeared to have been deliberately removed from its software, despite vociferous complaints on this forum.

  • How can I have two different windows up on one screen at the same time?

    How can I have to different windows open on my screen at one time? Kind of like a split or shared screen.

    If you want this split screen thingy for a single app, do like captfred suggests or see if the app itself supports some sort of splitting, like MS Excel.
    If you want to do this system-wide, maybe you can get what you want by activating and using Spaces: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4313
