How do I fix my Internet on my Boot Camp Win 2008 R2 installation?

I have a brand new Macbook Pro running OS X 10.8.2 and Boot Camp 5.0.1 and I got a legit copy of Windows Server 2008 R2  SP1 from my MSDN subscription. I installed it with Boot Camp and then updated the drivers with the Apple drivers BC supplied.
In Windows, everything works great except the internet. I tried reinstalling the drivers and it didnt help. I went into Device Manager and the ethernet adapter is properly installed. However, Bluetooth has a /!\ and so does an "Unknown Device." Everything that I have read about this says to reinstall the manufacturers drivers, but as I mentioned, that doesn't seem to get it working.
What do I need to do to get the Internet working? Is Server 2008 R2 supported by Boot Camp?

Windows Server 2008 is not supported. See the system requirements for Bootcamp and Windows. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1899 .
Install Windows Server 2008 using a virtual machine like Parallels or Fusion.

    Hi - I have the exact same model as your MacBook and had a few questions as mine is acting up. I upgraded the ram to 8gb (2x 4GB ram) and ever since then my computer has not been running as smoothly and the start up time is horrendous. Have you encountered this problem? And if so how did you fix? What would you advise me do?
    I was thinking of reverting back to the original factory 4GB then rebooting the entire computer. Any suggestions?

    Try running XP in a VM or aquire Windows 7 which is the only one supported now.
    And you will need more like 60GB for Windows 7, so I would skip on 20GB just to be safe.
    20G is a fine minimum for XP, I was not responding to any inquiry about Win 7.

  • 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.

    I tried installing Windows 7 using Boot Camp, but it didn't work.
    Although it didn't work, the memory is still divided. So I looked for Boot Camp in aplications, but it literally vanished...
    So I tried downloading it again, but I only found EXE files... they don't work on my MacBook Pro...
    It's very new... Bought it recently...
    Please... I need help to unparticion memory back to original Mac HD and install Boot Camp...
    Thanks...

    Below is the paragraph from the instructions. Follow it exactly and then report what happens at each stage.
    How you remove Windows from your computer depends on whether you installed
    Windows on a second disk partition or on a single-volume disk.
    If you installed Windows on a second disk partition:  Using Boot Camp Assistant as
    described below, remove Windows by deleting the Windows partition and restoring
    the disk to a single-partition Mac OS X volume.
    If your computer has multiple disks and you installed Windows on a disk that has only one
    partition:  Start up in Mac OS X and use Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder, to reformat it
    as a Mac OS X volume.
    To delete Windows and the Windows partition:
    1  Start up in Mac OS X.
    2  Quit all open applications and log out any other users on your computer.
    3  Open Boot Camp Assistant.
    4  Select “Remove Windows 7,” and then click Continue.
    5  Do one of the following:
    a  If your computer has a single internal disk, click Restore.
    b  If your computer has multiple internal disks, select the disk with Windows on it,
    and then select “Restore to a single Mac OS partition” and click Continue.

    If you do really want to partition your hard drive then you need to look in your utilities folder for disk utility.
    Once this is open, click on your hard drive image in the left hand column and then you will see a partition tab. Here you can split your HD into two partitions. Call one of them XP or something like that so that you know where to install windows.
    It's quite safe and you can always go back to one big partition if things do not work out.
    Remember though to backup first...
    To the OP
    Do not heed this advice, you should use Boot Camp Assistant to create the partition for Boot Camp, do not use Disk Utility.

  • How do I install Windows 8 Pro using Boot Camp?

    I was given Windows 8 Pro as a gift and I am curious as to how I can work around installing Windows 8 without having to purchase a System Builder.   I don't want to have both System Build and Pro :/
    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It's illegal to install this version if you haven't got Windows 7, Vista or XP installed, so if you want to use the upgrade version you have purchased, first you have to install Windows 7 in Boot Camp.
    Then, after installing Windows 7, check that your Mac supports Windows 8 > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634 After that, download and install the Boot Camp 5 support software, and finally, insert the Windows 8 disc and follow the steps

  • How to partition 1 HD for OS X, Boot Camp, and a second OS X?

    I have a new MB Pro and need the following setup:
    A partition running OS X 10.5.
    Another partition running OS X 10.5.
    Another partition for Windows OS.
    I first used Disk Utility to partition the HD into three segments. I installed OS X on two of the segments.
    I then opened Boot Camp Assistant to install the Windows OS.
    I got a message that the startup disk must be a single volume Mac partition.
    How can I segment the internal HD into three separate units?

    You can probably just boot from Vista or Windows 7, but not XP, and use the 3rd partition, and you will need to carefully delete and create your NTFS volume.
    Boot Camp Assistant is a 'crippled' partition manager and it sure would be nice if it was incorporated into Disk Utility itself - fully. Or 3rd party, iPartition or even Paragon-Software Partition Manager 10/Suite (never tried but it does have a Mac Boot Camp wizard assistant).

  • How Can I Download 'Windows Support Software' after Boot Camp Install of XP?

    I successfully ran Boot Camp and installed WinXP SP3 on my son's 2009 MBP, which is currently running OSX 10.6.8. We were prompted to download the Windows support software, and said 'yes', but it would not allow us to download anything.
    Is there a website we could download the 'Windows support software' directly from?
    As a result--I think this is due to lack of 'Windows support software'--we are unable to connect to our wireless network for internet while on the WinXP partition.
    At this point he cannot locate the original disk that came with his MBP. I'm wondering if that original disk would even be appropriate, since his MBP came with 10.5 originally. He is on his 3d hard drive (Applecare!) and they loaded 10.6.8 this last time.
    Thanks,

    10.5 OEM or retail DVD is the best and maybe only place to get XP 2.x drivers to get you started so you can then update Boot Camp support drivers to 2.2.
    Replacement OEM DVD from Apple - call - are probably $10-20.
    There were Boot Camp 2.1 and 2.2 direct downloads, just not for the 2.0.x that you need first to get started. Weird method. Posting seems to antathema.
    I deleted my old bookmarks but those drivers were found from support page:

  • How can I get MagicTrackpad to work with Boot Camp and Windows Vista?

    Just installed Lion and then installed Magic Trackpad. Now I need to know how to get the Magic Tackpad to work with Windows Vista in my Boot Camp partition. Windows Bluetooth recognizes the Magic Trackpad but it says the device won't confirm the passkey. No passkey came with the Magic Trackpad and the option to not use a passkey still doesn't achieve connection with Windows. Suggestions/ comments, please.
    TIA,
    Picman

    UPDATE
    Just completed several lengthy sessions with Apple Tech Support (escalated to excellent Sr. Advisor). Bottom line is that there seems to be no answer to the problem of the Magic Trackpad not being able to maintain its pairing/connection with Windows (Vista in my case) or OS X (10.7 in my case) when switching Boot Camp partitions. In fact, when trying to re-pair it is necessary to remove the MTP batteries first. To pair at all with Windows requires the use of the Bluetooth passkey "0000" (not provided in MTP documentation). This achieves limited MTP/Windows functionality (cursor and "click" control only - with BC 3.1. BC 3.2 is supposed to provide more gestures, but I have not gotten there yet). Appears that when switching back to OS X, that passkey has remained with the MTP and is not what OS X is looking for, so it fails the connection. Removing/replacing the batteries probably dumps the passkey and allows the OS X connection. The Sr. Advisor says he sees this issue often (including with Windows 7) in their internal chat rooms, but no solution. He will be referring it to the engineers and will let me know the outcome. Meantime, assuming I keep the MTP, I'll have to resign myself to using a wired mouse when going to Windows (not a huge inconvenience, since it's only for Quicken; but the issue is worse than "in-elegant" for Apple!
    I am satisfied that I have obtained the best possible help from Apple on this issue. If anybody has more, please reply.

  • How do I remove the Windows partition? Boot Camp Assistant does not allow me to select the remove option.

    I am using an iMac, 8.1, early 2008. I installed Windows XP at that time. I am now using OS 10.8.5 and want to remove the Windows partition to free up disk space. Boot Camp Assistant does not allow me to select the "install or remove" option. How can I get rid of the Windows partition?

    You can try removing it in Disk Utility.
    To resize the drive do the following:
    1. Open Disk Utility and select the drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.
    2. Click on the Partition tab in the Disk Utility main window. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3. Select the bottom rectangle/partition. Click on the Delete [-] button below the sizing window to remove it. Click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    4. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for the remaining partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and drag it all the way down to the bottom. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. 
    You should now have a restored single volume on the drive.
    It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.

Maybe you are looking for
