    Thank you so much.

    Is the USB devices a USB2 or USB3 device? Please run Disk Utility Repair. In some cases, re-installing OS X (which does not modify your files) also addresses this issue.

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Air forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

    Use the Flash Drive that came with your computer it has Snow Leopard installed on it. If you lost it or cannot find it then call Apple and they will replace it for you, I don't know how much they will charge.
    BTW when installing MS Windows please follow the directions whether you are using Boot Camp or a vitualialization solution (Parallels, Fusion, etc.) had  you done this you would not have had any issues.

  • How do I restore my 2011 MacBook Air to its original settings?

    How do I restore my 2011 MacBook Air to its original settings for resale?  When I do the cmd R and go through the process, it begins the restore process for Mountain Lion because I upgraded to Mountain Liion on this machine a few months ago.  And it's asking for my Apple ID.  If I do that upgrade, the buyer will have a version of Mountain Lion that is associated with my Apple ID and that won't work.  Also, isn't there licensing issues in such a case?  I want to restore the MacBook Air to its original factory settings when I purchased it in April of 2011.  At that time it was Lion and not Mountian Lion.  And I don't want any software on this computer to be associated with my Apple ID.
    Thanks for all your help.
    Ron

    Press Command, Option and R keys on boot, open Disk Utility, erase your disk and reinstall Lion

  • Can't install windows xp on macbook air

    Hi,
    I have posted already on the forum about 1 month ago or more and no one answered me, so trying again.
    How can I install windows xp on my macbook air?
    I have an original xp sp2 disk and a generic external dvd burner with usb.
    I have tried many times with bootcamp, but when I get the information (with disk utility info) of my xp 2 disk it says its not bootable.
    Do you think its my disk or my external dvd burner that can't boot?
    Should I get a super drive for it to work? Is there an other way for my mac to boot the disk at startup?
    Anyone please have any answer on how they installed windows xp.

    Yes.
    I have seen this page many many times already.
    I know it is not supported by apple. But it must be possible. I read about people with MBA's getting xp on them.
    My windows xp sp2 cd should at least be bootable? Its an original with the flashy 3D genuine design on it.
    I have installed Win 7 previously, but with a usb stick. I can't have a 20gb OS on my 64gb MBA drive.
    I hope you can understand better my problem.
    Thank you.

  • Installing Windows 7 on MacBook Air

    I brought this MacBook Air laptop last December 2009. I was wondering how to install windows 7 professional on it? im in school so i just need to use windows 7 and office 7 for school.
    my boot camp assistant version is 3.0.1 (313). do i need to upgrade this?
    i printed out the installation print out and it only talks about windows xp and vista so i figure i must need an updated version.
    my processor is 2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. would you know if this processor has the intel-VT (hardware virtualization) for running in windows xp mode?
    if there is anyone who could guide me through this that would be awesome!

    so i was looking into buying windows 7 i was doing all the researching like checking out the system requirements. it seems like i could satisfy all the requirements so i go to buy windows 7 and it turns out that the school deal wanted to sell me windows 7 upgrade. i don't think windows 7 upgrade will work?
    then i opt to install an old version of windows xp with service pack 2 that i had kept on to for like 6 years. i couldn't get that to work after trying for 2 to 3 hours. idon't know i had trouble with having bootcamp reboot the mac and start up again in window with the installation disk inside. that didn't work. thats frustrating i got burned.
    now i just aborted the mission and when i start up the macbook air or restarting it takes like 20 or 30 seconds longer to boot up again. i don't know everything is solid no data is missing. its just the machine takes longer to boot. something is not right about and now im just kind of annoyed by that.
    do you think you know what the problem can be and what shall i do now (about it)?

  • How to unistall windows 7 from macbook air bootcamp?

    Dear all,
    I'm from new macbook user. how can i remove windows 7 from macbook air bootcamp? After removing windows 7, can i use free partition (windows 7 bootcamp) from Mac OS?

    In OSX use the BootCamp Assistant again to revert the partitioning back to one single OSX-volume.
    That deletes the Windows partition and reassigns the used diskspace back to OSX.
