Instrucdtions for how to eliminate a windows partition created with bootcamp. thanks

Go back and reread and open the application you used.
though most Mac Pro owners choose to dedicate a drive to Windows.
Even Disk Utility will remove and then stretch the adjoining partiton it is best to use Boot Camp Assistant.
Best place to ask, Boot Camp forum, of course.

Can I write from a mac partition to a windows partition made with bootcamp?

I already tried using chmod in terminal, is there something I'm missing there? or is there a different setting I have to change?

WIndows can't find a better one than the installed LSI Conformed 1394 Hostcontroller

Read and follow the Bootcamp Installation instructions that you were offered to view when you ran Bootcamp Assistant.
Run Bootcamp Assistant again and select the option to download the Bootcamp Support software. Follow the instructions. Then boot into Windows and install the Windows Support software you downloaded and saved.

Encrypt Windows partition when using Bootcamp

Hi, I installed Windows 7 64bit with Bootcamp on Mac Book Air. I need to encrypt only Windows partition.
I googled and I couldn't find a clear answer.
How can I do this?

You asked for some examples, I provided them.
That does not mean that I think this is a good idea. It is very likely that to get this to work you will need to remove OS X entirely, if you take a chance and leave it on the presence of the encrypted pre-boot partition used by the encryption software will take you above the safe limit for the number of partitions (4).
Good luck.

How to install Windows 8.1 with Windows 8 Product key?

I have purchased Upgrade pack from Windows 7 to Windows 8. I have also Updated the OS to windows 8.1 through Store. How to install Windows 8.1 with Windows 8 Product key?

The download link for the Windows 8.1 installer at the Upgrade with Product Key Only does not accept a Windows 8.0 product key. I ended up using the trick suggested by Andre Ziegler in this thread to obtain the 8.1 download independent of the Windows
Store, but I haven't yet checked if the 8.0 key works from 8.1 Setup.
I do IT for a living but I have plenty of family members that bring their notebook PCs to me and ask me to do the heavy lifting, and I'd rather not re-download the same 3.6 GB every single time someone tells me to fix their PC. I also want to be able to
re-install 8.1 from the source media in case of a catastrophic hard disk failure and I have to replace the disk.
As an aside, tools that retrieve product keys for installed products end up retrieving the 8.0 product key from an 8.1 install that was upgraded via the Store. It kind-of makes sense that an 8.0 key could work to install 8.1 because 8.1 is supposed
to be a free upgrade for licensed 8.0 users, but this doesn't seem to work until after 8.1 is successfully installed via some trickery and the user supplies the 8.0 key to activate it.

Can I install Windows XP SP1 with Bootcamp on my new Mac Mini 2011 i7 ?

Can I install Windows XP SP1 with Bootcamp on my new Mac Mini 2011 i7 ?

Baiscally if your Mini came with Lion Pre-installed new then No you can't use XP.
The Lion installed computers no longer support XP OR Vista via Apple's Boot Camp.
For one thing Apple only supported XP with SP2 in order to install it on pre Lion computers.
If the Mini had come pre-installed new with say 10.6 then you could have installed XP and still of been able to upgrade to Lion without any issues as you already have the drivers for XP installed. Lion only has the drivers for W7.

iwork for ios accepts for upload and also happily opens all your Microsoft office files, from Office97 standard doc/xls/ppt to the 2011 versions of docx,xlsx,pptx and various other of these format extensions.
Notice : the upload feature in www.icloud.com is only active if you in fact own these apps on your iPhone/Pad/pod. it is not a feature of iWork for the Mac ( iwork09 ) which itself is not icloud capable at all.

Can i download windows to install with bootcamp

can i download windows to install with bootcamp or do i have to buy a physical CD to get windows on a macbook pro?

As your MBP has an optical drive you must install from a disc, not an iso on a stick. The previous advice is incorrect.
Purchase the version of Windows you want on a disk. If you already bought an iso burn it to a disc.

How should I upgrade hard drive with bootcamp partition & Parallels too

I need to replace the hard drive in my 24" iMac (model 8,1 - early 2008). My major concern is how to deal with my Windows XP in Parallels using a Bootcamp partition. I have yet to find software that runs in OSX 7 (Lion) that will clone both the OSX partition and the Bootcamp NTFS partition. It would appear that the most practical approach would be to use bootcamp assistant to remove the NTSF bootcamp partition and then clone just the OSX partition to my new drive and then recreate the bootcamp and parallels installations and reinstall Windows XP from scratch. Seems rather inelegant, so I'm hoping someone has advice based on experience. I'm truly hoping there is a more elegant way and any suggestions are appreciated.

Kinda sticky, but there is a way. You'll need three separate tools for the job:
The External Hard Disk: Indispensable. Get one that's at least 2x bigger than your current internal drive. You'll need it as an interim storage point
Winclone: This free software will allow you to image the Boot Camp volume. Since the developers closed shop, it's off to MacUpdate for a copy. Run it and clone the data to the external drive
Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.3: Same as above, but for your OS X volume. This essentially puts a slick front-end on Disk Utility's cloning powers, but it really works well. Get it at http://www.bombich.com/
As for restoring the volumes:
Restore the Mac side first from Snow Leopard, using the created image from CCC. Let it take up the full of the new drive
Now, run Boot Camp Assistant to size up a new Windows volume. You should not need to reload Windows--that's where Winclone comes in.
Use Winclone to recover the XP side now, and if necessary, resize the volume.
If done correctly, you'll keep XP as you update to Lion on the Mac side--but you can't upgrade the drivers past 3.2.

Installing Windows 8.1 with bootcamp, partition issues.

So I am trying to install windows 8.1 onto my MBP running the latest 10.9.2 operating system. It took a while to get the HD to successfully partition, however when I finally got it working, upon booting from the USB drive I got this error message
windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk has an mbr partition table windows can only be installed to GPT disks
Is there any way to change the partition table or to fix this?
I just tried restoring the partition to one, verifiying and repairing the disk in recovery mode, then re-running boot camp, issue persists.
running late 2011 15" MBP

Well, when you start the computer you should press ALT to show the boot manager. With Windows 8 and 8.1 (for Windows 7 there's not this problem) there should be three different icons: the OS X one, and then two called Wininstall (or something like that) and the other is similar but there should be written something like "EFI Boot".
Well, don't choose the EFI Boot one and you should be fine.
If you choose the first one the Windows installer format the Bootcamp partition correctly, and then you can start the procedure.

How to erase Windows partition with Boot Camp

I used Boot camp to create windowsXP partition, but windows got corrupted and I want to go back to zero by having boot camp erase the windows partition. The boot camp instruction setup guide says to open boot camp assistant, Introduction window and click on the third category " Restore the startup disk to a single volume". However, when I open Boot Camp Assistant there is no Introduction window as shown in the printed guide. Where do I find this so I can restore to a single volume again?
iMac Intel Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Try downloading the brand new Boot Camp version that Apple just posted within the past week (1.1.2 IIRC). Install the new version and it should give you the introduction screen again where you can remove the Windows partition.

Cannot install Windows 8.1 with BootCamp on Mavericks

I have a brand spankin' new Late 2013 27" iMac, fully updated, with a 3TB Fusion drive. I have thrice attempted to install Windows 8.1 via BootCamp 5.5, with the 64bit edition DVD on the SuperDrive, and allotting 1TB out of the 3 available. There are no other partitions besides OS X and the BootCamp partition. The Windows installer successfully begins, but each time it cannot locate any partitions to load itself on. The list is just...blank.
I've already scoured the forums here for support, and tried several claimed remedies, such leaving all USB ports clear (except for the SuperDrive) until after install (even removing the flash drive with the Apple support files), and had a long chat with Apple Care today...they said the engineers would get back to me in about a week. I read somewhere that hard drives over 2.2TB may be an issue, but Apple states that Mavericks has no problem with this, leading me to believe maybe Windows 8.1 is still lagging in this department.
To that end, I recall someone, somewhere mentioning how to carefully partition the drive to get around this, and that Windows absolutely, positively, had to be on the 4th partition, including the hidden partitions such as Recovery, Boot OS X, etc. Only problem is that Disk Utility is showing way more hidden partitions than this, and they seem to be unremovable.
Does anybody have a solution/workaround for this, or are both products still too new to have a found a way to play nicely together?

I did it. After fours hours and two hours on the phone with Apple support, I installed Windows 8.1 to my iMac. So, I just wanted to share it with you.
System:
iMac 2013, 27" monitor, 1T fusion drive, wirless keyboard, magic mouse.
Software:
OS X 10.9
Windows 8.1 full version 64bit
(I skipped some steps such as type in software key, choose language, etc.)
1. For my last try, Instead of using Bootcamp assistant to setup partition for Windows, I used disk utility to create an 100G space for Windows with FAT file system and named it BOOTCAMP.
2. Insert Windows CD into the USB super drive.
3. Shutdown iMac.
4. While press and hold the left "option" key, turn on iMac.
5. Select CD/Windows icon to boot.
6. Choose Custom installation
7. Select the partition named BOOTCAMP (I am not sure why it is 200G; I assigned 100G. Well...)
8. Format
And the rest is history. By the way, when Windows restarts during installation, make sure to press and hold the left "option" key to boot up Windows.
I do not know why but I am happy now. As a matter of fact, I am sending this message from Windows 8.1 running on my iMac.
Good luck to you.
