gtp error while installing windows from usb! how to solve it.
Hello mmarti,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Please ensure you are following the Boot Camp installation guide, as you should be selecting the partition named "BOOTCAMP" when you are at the Windows installer screen. See page 6 of the following PDF:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf
Take care,

How do I install windows from USB on Macbook pro 3,1
How do I install windows from USB on Macbook pro 3,1 ?
My Superdrive is far from super anymore, So I managed to make an extern drive with both Snow Leopard Partition, Lion Partition (Since I thought Boot Camp 4,1 would bypass my problem), and Time Machine partition, Since I got 1. USB drive that works.
- My general issue is that Boot camp Refuse to see the USB drive - (Many "how to"´s though show how they install windows perfectly through the USB port, but they use airbooks!, and somehow the Macbook will not ?)
I fix that issue with >> rEFIt <<, that suddenly makes it possible for the Mac to see the USB drive, and partitions.
Which was very strange since I could use an extern HD with the whole installation to start up wipe the whole disk, and then use my extern drive with partitions to install Snow Leopard and get everything as before with timemachine. Very smart with timemachine, but very lucky that I have a extern drive that runs the whole system and that I made the partitionsdrive before. DVD-drives are the past!
Point: So the original system could see the Snow Leopard installation USB disk, but boot camp cannot find the USB drive ?????????
After rEFIt I booted and then I got this error:
Starting bootmgr.efi
Error: Unsupported while loading bootmgr.efi
I read it could be a problem with the Windows software, so I purchased an extern DVD drive, Used Disk Utility to make an image (.DMG), then used another program to convert the .dmg to .ISO.
Then downloaded a trialversion of vmWare fusion, and installed windows from the iso. Everything worked brilliant, except and that is why I want to use boot camp, Running windows in another program while running the mac system is a little hacky and slow.
Point: Nothing is wrong with the windows software, and windows runs fine.
I then downloaded the Windows DVD / USB Tool, reformatted a USB drive as Master Boot Partition, MS-Dos Fat partition, then after lots of struggling got Vmware, windows to recognise the USB drive. And installed the windows software on the USB drive, as all the walkthroughs recommend.
Then I tried for "fun"! to just install windows form the extern USB drive, and with rEFIt it will see the drive and start to do something, but then when it starts to boot, the screen just turns into black and nothing happens, and you can see the drive does NOTHING. (I think it is because I only have 1 USB drive and the Extern DVD drive does not get enough power, but again the mac refuse to see the USB drive unless it is a Snow Leopard installation USB-drive!
Well trying to install Windows Ultimate 64 Bit, which worked great in vmware, because that program installed from the .ISO file that I had on the desktop, but trying with Boot Camp did not get anywhere, what kind of **** program is this boot camp anyway!?, but then I try the new USB disk with windows made from windows, thorugh rEFIt, it sees the disk and then starts and then I get this ERROR:
rEFIt - Booting Legacy OS
Starting legacy loader
Using load option ´USB´
Error: Not found returned from legacy loader
Error: Not found from LocateDevicePath
(x 9 times)
Error: Load Error while (re)opening our installation volume
The firmware refused to boot from the selected volume. Note that external hard drives are not well-supported by Apple´s firmware for legacy OS booting
(Hey Apple please send out a updated firmware that fix this issue?!)
So how do I do it ? - or is the only option to fix the partition running the system from the extern disk. Format the whole drive in 2 from the "bottom" and install windows and then afterwards install Mac on the other partition ? Or just run windows on the mac and forget about mac software ? What a stupid solution...There are strings in the pliist file to add other Macs so that you can use some USB-DVD drives.
This is 5 page thread, so a little more 'meat' to it:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3410900?start=60&tstart=0
And on PC booting Windows from a USB DVD to do the install is usually a piece of cake, sometimes you just need to specify that USB in the BIOS boot order and sometimes select via F12 (or another Fkey) and that is it.
What you have here seems to be everything and everyone is excluded unless there is a mac-model device ID string that specifies yes. An unnecessary hurdle. -
Installing windows from USB MBP3,1
Hey Everyone,
I have a MacBook Pro 3,1 running 10.8. Optical drive broke so I decided to put a second HDD in its place. I can see it fine but when I go into Boot Camp Assistant the second HDD is not there for me to select where to install Windows.
Also I've tried so many ways to install Windows on an USB so I can install if from there on my MBP but for some reason i can't boot to it or boot Camp Assitant can't recognize it.
I've tried Refit version and setting my MBP as a Target so I can install windows from my MacPro at work, but that didn't work either!! I'm going crazy!! Please some one help...
I'm thinking of taking the second HDD out and putting into my MacPro at work and installing windows that way.
Thanks
SteveHi Chaaker,
I can't comment on installing Windows 7 to the Boot Camp partition (or on a USB stick) but I can comment on the last part of your question.
EFI-based Mac computers can definitely boot to a USB volume, assuming the volume it's booting to is configured as a start up volume. I was at a Genius Bar several months ago and saw two MacBook Air computers getting support and both of them were running off USB-based external HDs.
The only potential point of failure I see in the equation is the EFI startup sequence being unable to read the USB drive that has Windows 7 on it. -
BOOTCAMP error while installing Windows 7
I am attempting to use BOOT CAMP to install Windows 7 and I keep getting this error message.
The USB drive connected to this Mac contains a bootable volume. In order to install Windows 7 from the DVD, the Boot Camp Assistant needs to disable this functionality. No information on the drive will be removed. Do you want to continue? When I hit continue I get this "Your disk could not be partitioned" An error occurred while partitioning the disk. HELP please. I have a brand new MAC PRO bought in DEC. and I am using a brand new USB port.Please erase your USB Flash drive, and use Bootcamp Assistant to build a USB with the Windows ISO and BC drivers. Use a USB2 flash drive, not a USB3 one. It will not work with Windows.

Disk Error while Installing Windows
Okay so this is the story: I get my brand new MacBook Pro and install Leopard on it, with the disk that came with my Macbook Pro. After a while I decide to install Windows, so I get my Windows with SP2 disk, load up bootcamp, choose for it to partition 32 GB for Windows, put the disk in and start the installation. I choose to have Windows installed in the partition that Boot Camp created. But after the installation is done and the computer reboots, I get a black screen with the following:
Press any Key to boot from CD ...
Disk Error
Press Any Key to Continue
Now there's a period of time when it allows me to 'Press Any Key to Boot from CD', but when I do that it just tries to install Windows again and the same thing happens. If I just wait, it gives me the Disk Error, and when I 'Press Any Key to Continue' nothing happens. So I reboot my Macbook Pro and it takes me straight back to that screen. Help! I can't even figure out how to remove the Windows install CD, and I can't use the Macbook Pro at all! I hope it's not busted...Press X at startup to force a boot to Leopard. Press Eject, F12, or hold the trackpad button during startup to eject the Windows CD.
Start over with BootCamp and see:

Error while installing Windows 7
When I'm trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit through Boot Camp I always get this message after like 86% of expanding files.
Windows cannont install required files. File may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available and restart installation. Error code: 0x80070017
I read from a few posts on Google that it has something to do with the bios.Hi,
Identify your drive and find out who the manufacturer is and then go to their website, go to the driver section and enter your exact model. Download the drivers and put them on a USB device. when asked to load the drivers, click Browse and browse the USB
device. You should locate the .inf file that is used for this hard drive and load it. Windows might now be able to properly detect the drive and you can continue with your Windows installation.
Thanks!

How do I install Windows from USB?
I have a 2011 MacBook Pro. I replaced the optical drive with a second hard drive. I have tried the following methods to install Windows.
Installing from an external optical drive: I created a Windows 7 install disk. The windows installer does not start. All I see is a blinking cursor. The disk is recognized when I hold option/alt at startup, but when selected it hangs at the blinking cursor.
Installing from a flash drive: I burned the image to a USB flash drive. The windows installer does not start. The the disk is not recognized when I hold option/alt at startup.
Do I have to do something to enable USB startup? Is there another installation method available?
Thanks.On MBPs that came with built-in Optical drives, BC Assistant modifies the NVRAM settings and sets the boot option to be the Optical drive. Removing the Optical drive breaks this logic and causes a lot of problems. Modifying the Bootcamp info.plist allows USB creation workaround, but does not allow the NVRAM modification. This is derived by BCA using the Model Identifier in System Profiler.
Your situation is similar to Need help installing Win8.1 from USB on MBP. or Unable to Install Windows 8 on secondary Hard Disk.
The only solution I know is to move the drive that needs Windows to the main SATA connector, install Windows and then move the drive back to the Optibay.
If you have two Macs, one of which have the original HW configuration, than using Winclone is another option by installing it on an "unmodified" MAC and then cloning it to the "modified" Mac. -
Error while installing Windows XP
I just got my iMac Intel Core 2 Duo. I've updated all the software and firmware, restarted, downloaded BootCamp 1.1.2, burned the Mac drivers CD, and partitioned my hard drive. When I put in my Windows XP Home Edition CD, it seems to install Windows but then suddenly shuts down with an error after attempting to load.
I've tried restoring the hard drive and re-partitioning with no success. I'm stuck.
Has anyone encountered this problem? If so, I'd appreciate any help or suggestions. Thank you.You need Windows XP with Service Pak 2. The version you are installing is probably not the correct version required for Boot Camp. Please read the Boot Camp documentation regarding the required version of XP.

How to install windows from usb??
Ok i am trying to install windows on a mid 2007 macbook. in some forums it says no and in other it says you can . What i dont understand is how to install it if you do not have the option to click when you are going thru boot camp. The mac is running Lion so i dont understand why it would be a problem. Do i Have to have a physical disk????? If so thats trrible because my disk drive is broke.. I had to replace my harddrive awhile back and when I went to the apple store they loaded snow leapard thru the usb port. Any ideas?? Thx as always.
Try this and see if it works (using UNetbootin):
http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/install-windows-7-from-usb-drive-requi res-2-simple-steps/
If you already have the Windows 7 ISO, it's a two step process: Install UNetbootin and Burn the ISO.
I have not personally tried this (I have the DVD), but it looks promising. And UNetbootin works for Mac too.
If you DON'T have Windows 7 ISO, and your drive doesn't work, there's not a lot you can do. You have to have an ISO to make a disk or USB install.
If you bought Windows 7 online from Microsoft, you can download an ISO version from them. If you don't already have Windows purchased, that's probably your best bet. -
Error While Installing AddOns From OfficeStation
Hi,
There is an error that happened while trying to install any AddOn from OfficeStation. OfficeStation is a device that is just similar as if you are using the server, its like sitting on the server machine from a remote desktop, it has all the features as compared to a desktop but physically it does not have a Harddisk and ram. It has a virtual board with a flash memory built in it and can be worked as an individual CPU. And this OfficeStation is connected to the Server and is accessing all the featured and programmes installed on the server including SAP B1. But while installing an AddOn from a OfficeSation it throws an error message box Microsoft VC++ Runtime Library, Runtime Error, Program C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\SAP Business One.exe abnormal program termination
And as you click OK the entire B1 Application terminates at that Station and the next time when you logon at that officestation, it gives you the same error (Message Box) and B1 Application terminates. You can run the same addon and SAP B1 sitting on the server, but now you cannot access SAP B1.
So kindly look into it and get us a correction solution.
Thanks & Regards
MurtazaHi, Murtaza!
Have a try to log on to the server from the "OfficeStation" with the user name that you use to log on sitting on the server and when the Addon works.
If it does't help, try to re-install the SBO DI API using the "OfficeStation".
I suppose that solution lies around the security permissions.

Error while installing htmldb from the companion cd (10R1)
Hello team,
i needed to install apex on an existing 10gR1 database running on Windows Server 2003 SR2, so i started off by installing the companion cd stuff coming with that release.
Oddly enough, i successfully installed the http server but the htmldb installation keeps failing.
Looking at the log, the first unusual condition i spot, as i've done this operation many times over the years, is in the command generated by the installation program:
'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\cd\jdk\jre\bin/java.exe -classpath C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\cd\marvel\jlib\htmlDBConfigClasses.jar;C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\cd\jdbc\lib\classes12.jar;C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\cd\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar;C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\cd\jlib\ojmisc.jar;C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\cd\oui\jlib\OraInstaller.jar; htmlDBConfig C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\cd lrserver01 1521 lanza SYSAUX Valore protetto. Registrazione non necessaria Valore protetto. Registrazione non necessaria en,it HTMLDB C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\cd\marvel'
Avvio dell'output dal processo generato dinamicamente:
java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: env error=2
[Ljava.lang.String;@1e5e2c3
if i execute the command above from the command line an additional message is returned:
"version mismatch!"
However i am not clear as to what kind of version it refers to... java or what else?
I checked another installation on a similar machine and i could not see any significant difference between the two besides a different Windows 2003 service pack.
Also, in the log file all the subsequent attempts to connect to the database fail with SP2-0640 and the cause seems to be ORA-12545.
Any clues?
Thank you,
Flavio
http://www.oraclequirks.comA few hours later i found out that this problem was a known bug (3602534).
I hadn't found the relevant article before because the quick search of this forum by default returns only results within the last 90 days so i had to repeat the search by specifying a different timeframe.
The bug fix unfortunately is also pointed to by outdated links in various replies.
One example of such dead links is http://otn.oracle.com/products/database/htmldb/install_faq.html#win2003
The address of the relocated FAQ is now:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/install_faq.html#
I found a first example of the problem in this thread:

There is also a good reply from Denes here:
