Reinstall BootCamp on Windows 7

Hello,
Yesterday, a suden electricity power cut took place in my area, while I was on my Windows 7 partition... After some minutes, the electricity was on again, so I logged on my Windows 7 partition, everything was ok, but the network...
I see the wireless tray icon, not connected anywhere, with a red X on it.
I think that there is a problem with the drivers.
Because bootcamp installs all of the drivers correctly, I think that if I could reinstall bootcamp on my Windows 7 partition, would install the drivers and fix the problem, but I don't know how to reinstall bootcamp, neither how to uninstall and install it again...
Can you please help?
Thanks!

Firstly, invest in a UPS to allow you to protect your modem, router, computer and equipment.
Windows 7 has Network control panel and while it can attempt to do diagnostic troubleshooting of your connection and show if it has connection to router and/or internet, usually it doesn't resolve an issue.
You can do to Device Manager. Rollback or uninstall a driver (but do not disable a device!)
You can always use Programs control panel and it may have "Repair" along with uninstall a program, or uninstall.
I would be worried if a reboot doesn't work that it is hardware, but if that was true then Mac side would not get an internet connection also.
I'd pick up a manual, that is me, there are several good books and references with tips and how to use and get more out of Windows OS.
And there is built in help and any "?" you find in dialogue boxes (Mac has Help menu too but rarely seems to get use)

The guide to bootcamp assistant states that bootcamp can only be installed on a drive with a single partition. New Macs with Lion preinstalled have two partitions - the second is a recovery partition. How do I install Bootcamp?

Late in August 2011 I took delivery of a new 27" iMac with Lion preinstalled. I need to run Windows as well. Following Apple's written suggestion, I printed off the then current 12 pages of the document "Bootcamp Installation & Setup Guide" which clearly stated that the hard drive you were going to install on had to have on it, before install, a maximum of one partition. Using finder and disk utility I determined that there was only one partition. Unbeknownst to me, there was (is) an additional hidden (from those two pieces of software) partition on the disk. As of machines delivered new with Lion preinstalled, Apple has begun to include a "recovery partition". In that partition there is a copy of the software necessary to reinstall Lion via a download from the Apple App Store. Not knowing the partition was there, I cranked up "Bootcamp Assistant" which nicely offered to repartition my hard drive creating a "Bootcamp Partition" in addition to the existing. I told it how big to make each and hit the do it button, subsequently destroying my operating system. Oh, it very nicely told me, after the damage was done, how many partitions were REALLY on the disk and that I could not install Bootcamp cause there were too many partitions.
Luckily the the Recovery Partition, which at that point I knew existed, was not harmed and after doing some research on another compter, I used it to once again download Lion from the App Store and reinstall. So, I have recovered but am still stuck with the problem: how do I install Bootcamp in this new environment?

First you need to seriously back up your Mac.
A clone is an exact duplicate of your existing Mac HDD. Merely copying and pasting a drive will not make a bootable backup. In case of problems you can boot from an Ext HDD clone and use the utilities to repair, reformat, or clone the Ext HDD back to the internal Mac HDD. While Time machine back ups are easy you can not boot from it. The best thing to have for any kind of problem is a bootable clone backup on an external drive. Some even have two external backup drives in case one fails. There are two good apps for cloning named SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner.
In dealing with the recovery partition a simple approach is to clone the Mac partition to an external disk then re-partition the Mac to a single partition (GUID partition table) . Then clone the external disk clone back to the Mac. You will now have only one Partition and Boot Camp assistant sould not object.
Some have recommended getting rid of the recovery partition while others have advised not to do this. If you have the Lion USB Thumb Drive you do not need a recovery partition so can discard it without concern. There is another way to get rid of the recovery partition if you decide to do it but first be sure to have a backup of your Mac ( I know I sound like a nagging mom but many dead computers have been saved by this simple precaution).
Use Disk Utility.
1) Make the Recovery visible in Disk Utility by using a program like Secrets:http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/27025/secrets or MacPilot:http://www.koingosw.com/products/macpilot.php (15 day free trial).
2) Highlite the Recovery partition and Control click it and select Mount the partition.
3) With the Recovery partition highlited, erase the partition, you'll get an error message, ignore it.
4) Now highlite the top identity of the hard drive and select the partition tab.
5) Highlite the Recovery partition and press the minus sign.
6) Click and hold on the bottom edge of the partition above and drag it to the bottom, if it doesn't go there automatically, the press apply.

How to reinstall windows 8 on bootcamp

how to reinstall windows 8 on bootcamp macbook pro, without losing anything on OS (Apple) side

Start Bootcamp Assistant then select the option to remove Windows and return your drive to a single partition. Once Windows is removed start Bootcamp Assistant again and select the option to install Windows. Follow the Bootcamp instructions for installing Windows.
This process will not cause lose of OSx data or applications if done correctly. But as allways, create a good backup of your data because things sometimes go wrong or instructions are not followed causing data lose.

How to Reinstall Windows on Existing Bootcamp Partition

I've been running Windows 7 under Bootcamp on my 2011 MacBookPro. I've run into a situation where Windows7 will no longer install updates. I worked one day with Microsoft for over an hour but they could not find what was causing the problem. FYI, when looking into this problem, the error code that is produced is Error Code 8007010B. I have found nothing substantial online in regards to this code.
I've used Winclone (a Mac application) in the past without issues to restore a Boot Camp Windows partition. Since purchasing Winclone 3.4 I've made several backups, but now that I am actually trying to restore one of those backups I'm getting a message:
"the image you are attempting to restore does not contain the correct information".
So I am frustrated and have emailed twocanoes.com, the Winclone publisher and waiting for their answer.
Working with Bootcamp
I'm trying to figure out the steps I need to reinstall Windows from scratch in an existing bootcamp partition. Do I need to start from scratch with Bootcamp, or can I reinstall Windows from inside Windows? If I do the latter, how do I prompt Bootcamp to reinstall the Apple drivers?
Other Issues FYI
I'm having trouble locating the Windows 7 instal DVD I originally purchased. I do have the serial number. So I've downloaded a copy of Windows 7 from the MyDigitalLife Windows7 Repository.
I have burned the iso image to a DVD. I've got 2 versions, one is the .iso file burned onto the DVD, the other are the contents of the .iso file burned to DVD. I assume to install Windows, it will want the one with the contents of the Windows installer burned to it? Any other issues I may be unaware of regarding this kind of Windows install?
Is there any advantage of reinstalling Windows from a USB Flash drive as compared to a DVD? Just curious.
Finally, for Activation, because this copy of Windows is going back into the same Bootcamp partition on the same hardware, will I have to reactivate Windows? If so, suggestions appreciated.
Thanks!
-Dave

I appreciate the help. Can you tell me what are the steps to tell Bootcamp to install drivers into a Windows install? Thanks!
Update: I looked at the Bootcamp Assistant instructions and now I understand your answer. Info here:
"Step 4: Install the Windows support software
After installing Windows, install Mac drivers and other support software for Windows. The
support software installs Boot Camp drivers to support your Mac hardware, including AirPort
devices, the built-in camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and the function
keys on an Apple keyboard. The software also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows
and the Apple Boot Camp system tray item.
You can download the support software by selecting the “Download the latest Windows support
software from Apple” option in Boot Camp Assistant. The support software must be copied to a USB flash drive formatted in MS_DOS FAT. If the installer does not start automatically, doubleclick the setup.exe file in the Bootcamp folder."
If you or anyone have any other tips, they would be appreciated. As this appears to happen with Windows quite frequently, and I've had to do it multiple times over the years, I'm not looking forward to it.

How to reinstall Windows XP against Bootcamp for a Macbook

I am a new switcher for Mac OS. My major work has always been completed in XP OS. but recently I suffered a frequent down for XP OS. What should I do to reinstall a XP with Bootcamp?
1. My macbook was installed with old version of bootcamp, should I remove this older one and reinstall a new one?
2. How to remove bootcamp from a Mac OS?
Better provide me a detailed guide to secure this reinstallment.THANKS EVERYONE.

If you launch Boot Camp Assistant, you will see that one of the choices on the first screen is to "Restore the startup disk to a single volume". Click on that and follow the directions. That will remove Boot Camp and Windows XP from your Mac.
You can then launch Boot Camp Assistant again to reinstall Windows.
If what you are saying is that you want to only update Bootcamp to the latest version (1.1.1) you do not need to remove your Windows partition and start over.
If you only want to update, go to this page and follow the instructions marked "Updating to Boot Camp 1.1.1 beta".

How to reinstall Windows 8.1 on Bootcamp?

I am trying to reinstall Window 8.1 on Bootcamp after Disk Utility reported that the hard drive it was originally located on was failing and needed to be replaced. I did so. Now when Windows 8.1 installer launches, it thinks I'm doing an upgrade and insists that I "reboot Windows Normally" and then launch the Installer, which is impossible because it's freshly formatted, NEW hard drive.
Here are the steps that I followed:
1) Disk Utility reports that Boot Camp drive is failing and replace it.
2) Remove failing hard disk, replace with new one.
3) Launch Bootcamp Assistant.
4) Download support drives to USB stick.
5) Begin install process using same Windows disk (64-bit FULL VERSION) used previously.
6) Windows Installer asks for Product Key.
7) I enter product key.
8) WIndows asks to agree to license terms.
9) Setup presents ONLY two choices:
Upgrade Installation
Custom Installation
10) I choose Upgrade.
11) Windows Setup reports that Upgrade can only take place from Windows environment, to eject Windows Install disk, and to reboot into Windows "normally." Cannot eject Windows install disk. Click Close box.
12) Windows Installer relaunches.
13) Install process starts over again.
Please note:
1) This is a fully licensed copy of Windows 8.1
2) I am using it on the same Mac as the original installation. Only change is the hard drive.
3) This is not an authentication issue. Windows accepts the Product Key.
4) Parallels is not involved in any way.
I have talked to several Windows support teams. None were helpful and ultimately said this was a Bootcamp/Apple problem
Apple Support was much more helpful but said they'd never encountered this problem before and were flummoxed.
I have reformatted the Bootcamp hard disk several times. At one point I thought the issue might be that the Mac still thinks the original Windows installation exists because I kept the same name for the new hard disk. Renaming and reformatting did not change the behavior.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I wound up solving, or at least working around my problem. Selecting "Custom Install", instead of Upgrade, took me to a dialog box where Installer could format the Bootcamp drive from scratch. Installation then proceeded as expected. Unfortunately this cost me my partition, but that was better than being stuck in this Upgrade Catch-22. Note that formatting and partitioning this drive within the Boot Camp assistant did not solve my problem.

I want to get rid of my bootcamp partition but ='( i accidently deleted bootcamp assistant and now dont know how to delete partition any where i can re-dowload assistant plz helppppppp

I know u need assitant to get rid of parititon but i dont have it so what do i do

Personally I would use Pacifist from Chralessoft http://www.charlessoft.com/ to reinstall the BootCamp Assistant from your OSX Installation disc and afterwards running the latest Combo-Updater for your OSX.
The best way is to use the BootCamp Assistant again which should give you the option to remove the made Windows partition and revert back to one OSX volume.
After that's done a reboot of your Mac might be advisable.
Only if that's not working (whatever the reason) :
1) boot your Mac from your OSX install DVD
2) choose your language and then 'ignore' (cancel) the installation
3) from the Top Menu (Utilities) start Disk Utility (DU)
4) in DU click on your harddisk (not any partition) in the left pane (the first item listed)
5) in the right pane use the 'Partition'-Tab
6) click to highlight on the ex-Windows partition you want to delete
7) click on the small '-' Button at the bottom
That should delete your former Windows partition
After that's done successfully
8) Drag the partition separator line until it encompasses the entire drive and then select apply.
9) Quit Disk Utility
10) reboot your Mac from your harddisk.
Since you are 'fumbling' with your OSX partition you should consider having/making a backup of it before trying the a.m. procedure. Just in case.
A Disk Repair with Disk Utility is not doable for an OSX volume from which you have booted your Mac.
Boot from the OSX Install DVD to repair your OSX on the harddisk.

Stefan

How do i remove a bootcamp partition without bootcamp assistant?

I incorrectly removed the bootcamp partition via disk utility rather than on the bootcamp assistant. Now my mac boots into the deleted partition. To avoid i press the option key during start up and select my Macintosh HD. How do i now remove this partition? There is no option in bootcamp as bootcamp thinks its partition is deleted.

Try going into the system preferences and then go to "Startup Disk" and choose the main hard drive to boot up into. This way, instead of booting into the deleted partition you can tell the computer to boot into your main hard drive.

How to uninstall bootcamp partition if the assistant only gives me the option to install bootcamp?

I am trying to uninstall my Bootcamp partition but when I open bootcamp assistant it only gives me the option to install a bootcamp partition.
Thanks

Either use Paragon's CampTuneX to resize it or use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition and restore the drive to one partition. Then create a new, larger Boot Camp partition. This will remove/delete/erase your Windows system.
