How to "Recreate Boot Camp"?

I have just upgraded Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
I also had to upgrade VM Ware Fusion to 5.0.
Now, when I attempt to run VM Ware Fusion I get the following message:
Your Boot Camp installation has been modified since you last accessed it.
Move the Boot Camp virtual machine to the trash then select "Run Boot Camp" to recreate it. This will not affect the Windows applications or data on your Boot Camp partition.
I have dragged the Boot Camp virtual machine to the trash but I don't understand what is meant by "...select "Run Boot Camp" to recreate it".
Select "Run Boot Camp" from where?
I have tried shutting down the computer and booting from the Boot Camp partition, shutting down again, restarting normally and attempting to run VM Ware Fusion again but I get the same message (above).

I had the same problem upgrading from VMware 5.0.0 to 5.0.4 with Mavericks. I found the message from Fussion a long way short of helpful and this forum much more so.
I would add that witn VMware Fussion running choose Virtual Machine Library from the Window menu tab and from there delte the Boot Campl viritual machine and create (add) a new one. I did not have to reinstall windows or any applications.
I'm sure VMware could make this more obvious in their upgrade process.

How to get boot camp in the emac

how to get boot camp in the emac

Furthermore, eMacs can only emulate the Windows environment, whereas Intel CPU Macs including the iMac you have running 10.6.8 can virtualize Windows. Emulation is a poor man's solution, because software is used to replace functions that normally take place with hardware. You can use the iMac to do any data conversion before it gets sent back to the eMac over a network. See my FAQ* regarding Windows on the Mac:

Forgotten how to install Boot Camp

I had to reinstall Windows 7 64-bit because I needed more space for Mac OS X. After reinstallation, which went perfectly, I have forgotten how to install Boot Camp. This MBP 3.1 will not install Boot Camp from the Snow DVD because it says that 64-bit mode isn’t supported (not true). I installed several components by hand. All I remember from the old style of bulletin boards was to copy the Windows contents of the DVD on to the desktop, then to use SuperOrca to modify the ISO. I don’t, however, remember the exact details of what was supposed to be modified and how to do it. This is also supposed to prevent the error of Apple Software Update not recognizing the installation of BC 3.2 after it was done.
I can’t find the old instructions with the new format, so any help is appreciated. Peace.

Ok do this...
Insert your Windows Bootcamp Drivers Disc (aka OSX Install disc that came with your computer).
When you see the prompt from Windows Explorer, instead of clicking the "setup.exe" option scroll down and click in the Explore/view files (or something like that, don't remember.)
Look into the folder labeled as Bootcamp, then click another folder called "drivers", inside there should be another folder labeled as "Apple".
Inside, there should be a file labeled "bootcamp64.msi".
Single click the file (bootcamp64.msi) and once it's highlighted, do a right click ( to do you must do the following key combo Shift+F10)
A right click menu should appear. One of the options is labeled as "Troubleshoot Compatibility".
A dialog should appear, click on the "Start Program" option when it becomes available.
The Bootcamp Driver Wizard should now appear. Follow the prompts of Bootcamp Assistant as always.
Drivers will install automatically.
Reboot.
Welcome to Windows 7 64-bit on your now Dual-Citizen Mac...
Report back with your results...

How does the boot camp works

Kind of a vague question but here we go: It creates a seperate partition on your hard drive upon which you can install whichever versions of Windows are compatible with your computer. After setting up Boot Camp, you can choose while starting up whether you want to boot to Mac OSX or Windows.
If you have more specific questions about it please let us know.

How to install Boot Camp on a MacBook Pro 2011

Well I bought a new MacBook Pro and I have constantly been trying to install Boot Camp.
When I open Boot Camp it shows me the Introduction, then it asks me if I would like to install the Lastest Windows Supports Software From Apple, and if I would like to Install Windows 7. I tick both boxes and then another page opens.
It asks me if I would like to install it to a DVD or CD, or if I would like to install it to an external hard drive. Now, I have tried both of these, and they both show a page asking me how much space I would like to be Mac space, and Windows space. After I've chosen how much I would like, I click install. After about 30 seconds, a message pops up saying the installer disk could not be found, please insert the installer disk and wait a few seconds, and the click install again.
I have done this many times, and that same message pops up. Please, if any of you people out there have the solution for me it would be gratefully apreciated.
Thanks.

No, it doesn't. You have to purchase the Windows 7 installer. Windows is not included with the computer. Did you discuss the matter with someone when you bought your computer? If you did they should have told you that you would need to buy Windows 7. If you had asked while you were purchasing the computer then you could have paid for Windows at the time and had it installed for you.

New Macbook Pro -- How to use boot camp?

Okay, so, let me preface this by saying that I've had about 4 different Intel macs now and have installed windows without a problem on all of them. But this new Macbook Pro that I JUST GOT earlier today is really proving difficult.
First question: I own both Windows XP Professional and Windows 7. I'd prefer to install with Windows XP, but whenever I used Boot Camp Assistant to install windows xp, the xp cd had trouble loading and I was never unable to install it. When I tried Windows 7, it worked perfectly fine. Is the new boot camp incapable of installing older versions of Windows or something?
Secondly: After successfully installing Windows 7 Ultimate onto my new Macbook Pro via Boot Camp Assistant, I'm having some trouble loading the drivers. On my past mac computers, I had to load my Mac OS X install disc into my disc drive while on the windows partition and simply run the program "setup.exe".
But now, when I do that, I have the option of installing mac os x on the computer (which I already have on another partition and is not something that I want to do) or installing some sort of dvd file sharing software or something? How do I download the Apple Drivers onto my Windows 7 partition?
Thank you!

Hi,
Windows Xp and Vista are no longer supported on the 2011 MacBook Pros, Only Windows 7 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4410
As for the second part, are you really using the OSx Install DVD that came with your new MBP for the Driver installation ?
The trouble you describe is usually shown when using another OSX disc than the machine-specific-one.

Stefan

HT3777 How to install Boot Camp on 32bit Windows 8 on a 2011 MacBook Pro?

I used Boot Camp to install Windows 8 Consumer Preview as the 2nd OS on my 2011 MacBook Pro. However after the installation I cannot install the additional Boot Camp just the drivers for webcam/wifi/ethernet/cardreader/display/chipset etc.
But I would like to be able to use the function keys to adjust the brightness and volume like on a normal laptop without having to go through settings.
Anyone know how?

You need to install the Boot Camp Windows Support Software, but I have no idea which version of OSX you have so, if 10.6.x the software is on the OSX install disk, likewise for 10.5.x, if you are running 10.7.x (lion) it is a download from the Boot Camp Assistant.

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.
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.
Paragon 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.
I tried the native Windows backup utility. It worked to backup and restore my Windows partition, but I noticed a "bad" side effect. When I would restore a Windows Backup to my HD, it would corrupt my MacOS boot partition, so I would then have to restore the Mac partition as well.
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.

How to use boot camp after using Parallels.

I have parallels installed on my iMac. How can I create a Boot Camp partition in order to use, without having to reinstall my MS Pro 7 and software?

How to adjust Boot Camp partition for more Mac space?

Hello,
TLDR Version:
When I setup Boot Camp, I intended to stay in Windows. I’ve now migrated to Mac and want more disc space allocated to it. How can I adjust this in Boot Camp without deleting and reinstalling Windows?
Extended Version:
I have had a 21.5” iMac for right at a year now, and have been running Windows 95% of the time prior to last week. I decided that I was spending more time on the Mac partition and deciding that it was better in my eyes than Windows, and decided to install all of my productivity software (Microsoft Office/Adobe Creative Suite) on it in an effort to wean myself off of Windows.
Unfortunately, when I set the computer up, I did a 90/10 partition install of Windows on Boot Camp, with 90% of the disc space being allocated to Windows. Obviously, this will no longer work for me, and working from my files in the Boot Camp partition is both limited, and irritating. I would like to adjust the partition the other way; probably an 85/15 partition with the 85% being Mac OSX and the remainder being Windows. Because Mac OSX is the boot disc, it appears as though it can be made smaller, but not larger in Boot Camp.
1. Is there a way to adjust the partition size without having to delete the Windows partition and reinstall?
2. Is the Airport Time Capsule a suitable device to temporarily dump my data on while I adjust the partition? I’ve got 99% of my data on a separate external HDD from a data backup a month ago, but would rather not have to make another backup.
I appreciate any information.
Best regards,
Ryan

You may want to look at Winclone or Camptune. There is Gparted/Live CD for the adventurous souls.

Time Machine cannot backup Windows. It will only back up OS - Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support.

How to update Boot Camp drivers when you already install Boot Camp?

The last time i install Windows 7 (Boot Camp) and drivers on my Mac was a bit long time ago, and i realise that there is some new drivers available for mine, so how can i update my Boot Camp drivers, please help me, and thanks!!!

I have MacBook Pro Retina w/Lion (of course), installed Win 7 Pro 64-bit, using Boot Camp procedures and files that were issued June 14. My BootCamp Assistant says it's 4.0.4.
My question is: how do I know when the Windows Support files (drivers) are updated by Apple? I would have expected an update by now, but I just went into Boot Camp Assistant on Lion, re-downloaded the drivers, and I *think* they are all dated June 14th still. (looked in WindowsSupport folder which is where it said it downloaded them)
There doesn't seem to be a reasonable way to get notified if there are new drivers or not.
My expectation was that I could run *something* either on the Windows or OS X side, and it would *tell me* that drivers needed updating, or at least say "you are running version X".
It can't be that I have to re-download the drivers and check the dates on all the files every time I'm curious if there's updates available. Can it?
The files seem to be on some mysterious Apple server and the only thing I can do to that server is ask to download the support files. No query, no "is an update available", ... ???
It's not even clear to me that the Windows Support files have a version number.

How to install Boot Camp 2.1 in XP SP3?

Hi there,
Don't ask me how i did it, but I managed to install SP3 on my XP partition, before the Boot Camp 2.1 update came. Now, I can't install the BC update: I keep getting the "Error applying transforms..." message. I don't have the "Language D-WORD (32bit)"-thing anywhere in the regedit, so that won't help me either, so I'm at a loss as to what to do in order to install the update.
For the record, everything seem to work just fine with my current setup - which then must be Boot Camp 2.0 on XP SP3... :-P
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
:-m

I managed to install Bootcamp 2.1 by modifing the Language setting in "Boot Camp Services" (only mine was in spanish) but I still have NO SOUND, I keep getting a driver is not for this hardware error... this is a macbook from octuber 2007. Running Leopard 10.5.4 currently.
