HT1338 Boot camp 2.0 fails to install windows 7. Asks to eject disc but cannot

Cannot install windows 7. Gets to eject windows 7 disc and I cannot do it.

Boot Camp 2.0 isn't compatible with Windows 7. You can install Windows 7 with Boot Camp 3.0 or later, integrated in Snow Leopard or Lion

    Boot Camp doesn't install the drivers. You have the drivers on a separate USB device if you followed directions. Once in Windows connect the USB drive with the driver software. It should startup automatically and install the drivers.
    You don't even need to do that. As downloading the drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant can be unreliable, it is better to get the package directly from here:

    Copy the .zip file to a USB flash drive or burn it to a DVD in OS X. Install Windows as normal, insert the flash drive/DVD in Windows, copy the .zip file to the hard drive, extract it, then run the setup executable.

  • Can i just partition my HD by using boot camp 4.0.1 without install window?

    Can i just partition my HD by using boot camp 4.0.1 without install windows?
    cox i want to use rEFIt to boot up my pendrive to install windows.
    Due to some reason the boot camp 4.0.1 cannnot detect my usb drive (that contained windows 7), so thats why i use the rEFIt to boot from my usb drive

    Yes, you can.
    Let the BootCamp Assistant just make the partition and do not click on "Install Windows"-button.
    The result is a preformatted FAT32-partition on your Mac.

  • Boot Camp 3.3 fail to install on my iMac

    Hi,
    My iMac is running with Windows 7 Pro x64 wit Boot Camp 3.2. When I try to install Boot Camp 3.3 with Apple Software Update it ask me to reboot and I still have Boot Camp 3.2 running on my machine.
    If I download Boot Camp 3.3 and execute it manually, it give me an error message : Fail to install Boot Camp Services (or something like that, as it is in french)
    I used to have issue to install Boot Camp 3.1 and 3.2 where the only option to setup it that I find in this forum was to extract the setup files and run manually the BootCampUpdate64 file. Unfortunatly I cannot do that anymore with 3.3 as it is in a package that I cant extract.
    Any idea on how I can fix that ?
    Thanks.

    Have you found a solution yet? I'm still searching for one. No additional drivers and no VNC installed. Thought it might Splashtop Streamer, but it doesn't install an additional driver like LogMeIn does. Also tried removing Sata and USB PCIe cards. Still no luck. In a last ditch effort I tried to uninstall Boot Camp Services completely which also failed.

  • Boot Camp will not let me install Windows via external hard drive

    Hi,
    I'm having problems installing Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro. I have the iso file on my external hard dirve and have went to Boot Camp but the following message comes up:
    "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.
    The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows."
    At one point i just clicked OK and let Boot Camp install the selected tasks, which formated the disk, copied the Windows files and downloaded the Windows support software but another message came up:
    "Install this Windows support software after installing Windows"
    It then only gives me an option to Quit...
    I would like to add that i tried to install Windows a few days ago and everything was working well up until instead of clicking on "customize" to continue the installation i clicked on "upgrade" then it asked me to remove disk and reboot the computer, i did that and it didn't work. Luckily i got that sorted but wanted to try and install Windows again as it didn't end up getting it installed and this is what is happening now...
    Can someone suggest to me what might be wrong?
    Thanks in advance.

    My other post has been deleted. I will reply to you on this post instead.
    I dragged down the Macintosh HD partition via the small triangle at the bottom right hand side of it. It now looks like this:
    Is it back to normal now? Can i install Windows now or do i need to do anything else?
    Thanks a lot for your help!

  • Boot camp: partition created can't install windows

    I created a 63GB partition.
    and during the bootcamp install it rebooted but never opened again and the Mac mini just spun and spun for a while and I then just reset it. though, the screen is black but I can hear the Mac spinning...I reset but this time use the OPTIONS button and it brings me to choices:
    My HD, My time machine, windows, recovery, and EFI?
    So DUH I choose windows and the screen goes blank, and the system just spins and spins.....
    CAn I restart the Bootcamp assistant and jump back in at the INSTALL WINDOWS step?
    thanks in advance
    WINDOWS-7-64
    MACMINI 2011, ( just bought it a few weeks ago)
    created the windows support software

    So let me get this straigt, you went through the installation process for setting up windows7 using the bootcamp assistant.YES. IT CREATED A PARTITION AND AFTER IT FOUND THE WINDOWS INSTALLER AND DID IT'S THING IT SHUT DOWN.
    i WAITED FOR IT TO WAKE UP AGAIN BUT THE SCREEN STAYED DARK BUT THE FAN JUST RAN AND RAN. SO AFTER 10 MINS. OR MORE I JUST HELD THE POWER BUTTON IN UNTIL IT SHUT OFF.
    TURNED IT BACK ON WITH THE OPTION KEY HELD DOWN.
    THE SCREEN OPENS WITH THE FOLLOWING ICONS: HD, TIME MACHINE, WINDOWS, EFI BOOT.
    After the set up, you are not able to access windows7 when you start the mac holding down the option button at start up or reboot after selecting the windows os. WINDOWS DID NOT INSTALL.
    I NEED TO GET INTO THE PARTITION AND INSTALL WINDOWS.
    If you have not been able to acess win7 and have not had a chance to get it up and running with any personal info that would need backing up, just delete the win7 partion using boot camp assistant and start over. Yes, you will have to create your partition all over again, but all that is maybe on it is the basic install of win7.
    Make sure you have installed the Windows support software.
    WHEN I WENT BACK INTO THE BCA. THE ONLY OPTION WAS TO REMOVE WINDOWS-7. aFTER CLICKING CONTINUE....I SEE THE ICON OF MY HD TO RESTORE TO THE ORIGINAL SIZE...WHICH MEANS IT WILL REMOVE THE PARTITION AND EVERYTHING CURRENTLY ON MY HD NOW----RIGHT?
    THANKS FOR YOUR TIME MAN!

  • Boot Camp Installation - Grey screen before installing Windows

    So I just got a new iMac and I am trying to install BC. I went through all the steps (making a FAT USB drive, buying a copy of windows, partitioning 150GB for windows).  Then I clicked the Start Installation and the computer rebooted.
    However, I have been stuck on a grey screen for about 45 minutes.  There is no Apple logo (there was one for the first minute of the reboot) and now there is a big no-smoking symbol (without the cigarette of course.  you know the symbol that is a circle with a line).  Beneath it is the spinning ball thingy saying it is doing something.
    Should I just let it run or try a hard restart?

    I think after weeks of searching I have finally narrowed it down, based on what I have read, to a disk drive problem. It seems to be something wrong with the EFI or the entire disk drive in general. I am taking it to the apple store tomorrow and I highly doubt they will do anything.

  • What is better, boot camp, fusion4 or parallels to install Windows 7?

    What software is a better choice for installing/using windows on my macbook pro?

    You forgot one. Oracle VirtualBox is free and mostly like Fusion or Parallels. Maybe a bit less refined, as it is a newer product, but functionally identical.
    You will have to make a choice between convenience vs. performance. The virtualization option (Parallels/Fusion/VirtualBox) lets you run both systems at the same time, but with a performance handicap that may affect some heavy usage programs such as games. And since the guest systems are not running directly on bare hardware, some antipiracy or authentication measures may not work.
    Running natively via BootCamp lets the system run on bare hardware with the maximum performance afforded by the Mac. However, it is an either/or propositiion; if you need anything on MacOS X, you need to reboot.
    Personally, I've never had the need to max out the computer on Windows, so I'm quite happy running it virtualized. I'm currenty carring Win 2000, Win XP, Win 7 Enterprise and Win Server 2008 R2 virtual machines, together with RedHat Linux and Solaris 10 Unix instances.

  • Can't Install Boot Camp from Snow Leopard DVD in Windows 7

    I have an iMac "Core 2 Duo" 3.06 24-inc (08) running 10.6.2 and Windows 7.
    I was able to successfully use the Boot Camp Assistant to partition and install Windows 7 on my iMac. After the installation, I was able to download updates from Windows Updates which included video drivers.
    However, when I inserted my Snow Leopard DVD to install Boot Camp 3.0, the Setup.exe only gave me two options: To Install Mac OS X remotely and to install CD/DVD Sharing. I was not presented any options to install Boot Camp.
    I did manually navigate the Snow Leopard DVD and found a Boot Camp directory with its own setup.exe and when I clicked on it, it gave me an Installation Error stating "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model". I did some research and I found no mention of my iMac listed as an unsupported model.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    When I inserted Snow Leopard DVD, the autorun didn't show me an option to install Boot Camp Drivers. Just like the author of this topic, it only showed me 2 options: to Install Mac OS X remotely and to install CD/DVD Sharing.
    Then, I've run Windows Explorer, navigated to Snow Leopard DVD, opened Boot Camp folder and runned "setup.exe". The installer opened and Boot Camp 3.0 was installed successfully.
    I don't know if it could help you guys with that error message, but after the installation of Windows 7 64bits, I've rebooted my Macbook Pro. Only after the reboot I did the Boot Camp Drivers installation.
    You can also try to run the "setup.exe" as Administrator (right-click, Run as administrator).
    Also, my Snow Leopard DVD is that grey one with the white "Mac OS X Install DVD" labelled on it.

  • Can´t install windows 8.1 because boot camp can't partition the disk. I´ve follow many tips but they did´t work

    I can´t install windows 8.1 because boot camp can't partition the disk. I´ve follow many tips but they did´t work (backup, reinstall os, erase space, etc.)
    Macbook pro retina

    Thanks

    There are several possibilities.
    1. You do not have contiguous free disk space.
    2. BCA has failed, or you may have a Fusion drive which is causing problems.
    3. You have incorrect permissions on the disk.
    4. Can you boot in OS X Safe Mode - OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support?

  • Boot camp services setup failed - Boot camp 3.3 update

    Running Windows 7 Ultimate on a 2008 iMac with boot camp 3.2. When running apple update to install boot camp 3.3, after a reboot I get the following message from the installer: Boot Camp Services Setup Failed.
    Sorry, After I posted I found the answer. I also had a logmein display driver and once uninstalled boot camp 3.3 installed just fine.

    The BC Service is installed for any individual login (whether local or domain-based), which happens only the first time. The BC Driver Installer has no option to install the services for 'All Users'. This is expected behavior.
    The two-finger click is a separate issue. Can you try

    Get a Virtual Macine software program, Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox, and install XP in a virtual machine.
    You can't install XP in a Boot Camp Partition with Lion or Mt Lion, only Win 7.

    Third-party NTFS software interferes with the Apple NTFS drivers, which control whether you can see the Bootcamp partition in the Startup Disk option. As a test, can you uninstall all third-party NTFS software and check System Preferences -> Startup Disk?
