How to reinstall Boot Camp 4.0

Hi,
my hardware : MB Pro 13 " mid 2010 (Intel)
my system :
- one partition of 230 Go withLion (update from Snow Leopard, so non Lion DVD), Boot camp 4.0
- one partition of 20 Go with Windows 7
my goal : install Windows (for running with my Polar software)
What I did :
- install Windows 7 with Boot camp 4.0, but Win freezes
- extract and install Boot camp 3.0 from SL DVD (to install XP instead of 7)
My situation :
- Boot camp 3 doesn't want to continue because it see that the disk has partition but can^t remove the window's one
- Boot camp 4 doesn't start any more
what I tried :
- restore boot camp 4.0 from Time, but it cannot be restored because "system requires it"
Any further Idea before restore whole system ?
Thanks a lot

Hi Star1,
finally I reinstalled Lion and Boot camp 4.0 works now.
So I could delete Win 7 partition.
But boot camp 3.0 continue to say that the disk is partitionned.
It seems that boot camp isn't up compatible.
I will reinstall snow leopard to have en Win XP partition.
Thanks for your help,
JL

  • 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 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:

  • HT203639 How does the boot camp work

    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.

  • Reinstall boot camp or reset files to default?

    Hello!
    I was trying to make my USB drive bootable but ran into some problems while doing so. I had to edit the Info.plist file located inside the package contents of boot camp. I forgot to back up a copy of the file and now boot camp quits unexpectedly without even opening a window.
    Please help!
    Thanks

    Hi there HarryAmadeo,
    According to the article below, it looks like you will need to reinstall OS X in order to reinstall Boot Camp.

  • 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.

  • How to update Boot Camp 5

    I installed Windows 8 last month with the previous version of Boot Camp.
    Now that Bootcamp 5 is out, I want to update Boot Camp but I do not understand how. I've downloaded the files from Apple's website, put them on a FAT formated USB drive, and clicked the setup.exe file within the Bootcamp folder. I get the follwing message: "This app can't run on your PC. To find a different version for your PC, check with the software publisher."
    Is there a way to update Boot Camp for my Windows 8? Or must I reinstall Windows 8 with Boot Camp already updated? Can I simply download the Bootcamp files to my desktop and open them from there? What's the need for the USB?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • 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.
