HT1846 Windows 7 64 bit on a macbook 2.1 ????

I have a white macbook 2.1 I think that its early 2007. i recently put lion on it but now i want to try the developer preview for windows. I have a legitimate copy of windows 7 but it is the 64 bit version. I see some people say yes and some people say no.... something about 2 different disk??? I am not completely stupid when it comes to stuff like this.. I have jailbroken my phone and stuff but i cant seem to get this to work.. i think that i have made a partition.. when the machine reboots it goes to a black sreen that says cd1 and cd2 or something like that. i dont know how to make it run the dang disk =( i dont want to take a copy off the net but i am so desperate at this point dont know what to do. Please help. It seems like it is something so simple but then again the partition part wasnt that "easy" either. thanks in advance!!! i always seem to get great help on here. hope for a soon response =)

try '3' the next time from what I saw.
your mac does not support 64-bit kernel boot, not in Lion and also not windows 64-bit.
All part of the move to a UEFI and EFI-64.
If '3' does not work you would need to modify the DVD and reburn.
Or stay with 32-bit.

Warning: Don't install Windows 7 64-bit on Older MacBook Pros

I totally hosed my machine by installing Windows 7 64 bit on a MacBook Pro that Apple has not deemed to be okay with running Snow Leopard in 64-bit. I have a Core 2 Due, which is fully 64-bit. Windows 7 64-bit runs perfectly on a MacBook Pro, but Apple's Snow Leopard can only handle 32-bits. Crazy.
I'm guessing Windows 7 updated the MacBook Pro's EFI to 64 bit, which since my Firmware hasn't been updated, can't recognize or load. Some I'm stuck.
Does anyone know how to return a 64 bit efi back to its original 32 bit version? I've been forced to reinstall Snow Leopard, hopefully the Disk Image I created will be able to bring back my data, otherwise I'm screwed and really ******.

I don't think Windows 7 would normally modify your Guid Partition Table, but Boot Camp
(particularly the later versions) is rapidly gaining a nasty reputation for hosing partition maps.
Test Disk might could help:
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
You will need to boot it in firewire mode (if supported) or from an external clone.
I hope your disk image is good. Rule of thumb for OS Disk Images:
Make them sparseimage or sparsebundle, do not compress, and last but not least;
Make 2 of them. Just some friendly advice.
I have yet to see anyone repair a defective, compressed, UDIF disk image. I have
successfully repaired sparse UDSP/UDSB images using either disk utility and/or Disk Warrior
and/or iPartition or some combination of the three.
I'm not against disk images, to the contrary, I use them almost exclusively for backup lately.
I mount them, then place a clone or data on them using Carbon Copy Cloner or Chronosync.
Of course I only use UDSP/UDSB uncompressed images.

Not using Boot Camp, but you should be able to using virtualization software such as Parallels to run Windows concurrently with OS X.

You most likely installed Windows 7 in EFI mode. Can you confirm this?
If you used Bootcamp Assistant to partition your drive, you did not install in EFI mode.
If you selected "EFI Boot" at the boot menu before installing Windows, you started the EFI Boot installer.
Please let us know whether or not you installed in EFI mode because audio not working is a common problem in EFI mode, but should not appear in normal BIOS mode. (Normal BIOS mode is when you used Bootcamp assistant)

Boot Camp Assistant 4.x in Lion

How do you overcome a blackscreen upon beginning installation of windows 7 64-Bit on a MacBook Pro5,1?

Hello All,
I have a MacBookPro5,1, upgraded to 8gb RAM running Mac OS X Version 10.6.8.
Apple states that this model is capable of installing Windows 7 64-Bit.
But when I try to install Windows 7 via Boot Camp Assistant, everything goes to plan until Boot Camp restarts the machine where a Blackscreen appears and does not show the windows installation screen. The machine is doing something in the background but then appears to power off. I have to press the power button twice, one long press to stop whatever it was doing then one more to power back on. I can get back into the Mac side with no problem.
I am certain bootcamp does not have the relevent video drivers for the windows installation to use...
I am using a Microsoft certified Windows 7 Professional SP1 image file burnt to a DVD-R, the image was downloaded from Microsoft as part of their student deals.
How do I get the blackscreen to go away?
Kind Regards,
tmanz

Okay,
So I still have the problem.
I was able to upgrade my Mac OS X to Lion using a Retail DVD and this gave me Boot Camp v4.0.
Followed the steps, burn't the downloaded drivers to a DVD. Then selected install on the Boot Camp and the MacBook Pro still goes into a blackscreen where I should see the Windows 7 installation screen.
This problem seems to be similar to the apple problem with their iMac's TS3173, but I am dumbfounded as to why I have this problem. I don't think anyone else out there with a MacBookPro5,1 has this problem.
I think If I had a solution as in TS3173 for the MacBookPro5,1 it would solve my case. Really I need the nVidia drivers for the GeForce 9400M, I tried getting these from the Boot Camp drivers but these are in exe form which would not be detected by the Windows 7 installer.
Is there anyone out there that understands my problem and can advise me?
Your time and efforts are greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
tmanz

Thank You

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You have to install the Windows support software after installing Windows. The Windows support software includes all the drivers that Windows needs to work properly on the Mac.
First, you have to download them (I recommend you to do it in OS X), and you can download the Windows support software in the Support site > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638 Then, follow the steps of the site to burn them onto a USB drive or DVD, and finally, start in Windows and install the Boot Camp drivers

VGA beamer problems with Windows 7 64-bit enterprise on MacBook Air 2012

For us the following problem is solved now! It might help other people with the same problems.
At our institute we have two new MacBook Airs 5.2 (2012) running Windows 7 64-bit Enterprise under Boot Camp.
They both cannot used for Windows-presentations with VGA beamers by using the mini-DP-to-VGA adapter (with Mac OS X 10.7 it just works fine). First of all, the suggestions from Apple phone support were not of any help at all (try PRAM reset, try SMC reset, ...). We tried an external USB-3.0-graphics adapter made by SUNIX (it failed, probably since Apple blocks other graphic cards in the EFI).
Then we saw the following article, which describes the same problems with a Dell XPS, but also using the Apple mini-DP-to-VGA adapter:
http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=reviews/dell-xp-mini-displayport-projector-fi x
We finally bought a "Mini-DisplayPort to VGA Active Video Adapter" from StarTech.com (product ID: MDP2VGAW) ...
AND IT WORKS!
Quintessence: Apple mini-DP-to-VGA adapter is too crappy for the (probably always behind) Windows.

Hello again,
After speaking to an Apple Genius, it seems the solution was to update the firmware for the Cinema Display. Since I have done this, the monitor appears to behave better.

Windows 7 32-bit Freezing on Macbook 2010

Alright so I've looked everywhere for a solution to this but can't find it anywhere, so any help will be greatly appreciated.
I recently bought a Macbook, 13inch, 500 gig hard drive, and 4 gigs of ram. I've installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit on it with Boot Camp. Now everything runs fine except for the fact that Windows will freeze every once in a while and I have to wait upwards to a few minutes for it to unfreeze.
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

No sound Windows 7, 64 bit running Bootcamp, MacBook Pro 64bit Snow Leopard

Been running Windows like this successfully for over a year. Now, suddenly, no sound. Tried re-installing Cirrus Logic etc, but to no avail. Possibly linked to some recent software updates? Tried to reverse, but didn't fix problem.
Have tried the various suggestions found via Google about compatability with Vista in Cirrus.
Any suggestions would be very welcome.

in bootcamp in osx one makes a driver cd which include apples drivers for all the hardware in the mac
and one then install that in windows to get everything working
do that rather then try to install drivers yourself

Cannot install Boot Camp 3.2 upgrade for Windows 7 64 bit

I recently installed Windows 7 64 bit on my macbook. I also installed Boot Camp 3.0.1 after Windows 7 installation, however, WiFi did not work. Therefore, I needed to upgrade to the latest Boot Camp 3.2. However, when I tried to install Boot Camp 3.2 upgrade for Windows 7 74 bit, I got an error message saying that I needed Boot Camp 3.1 installed first. I CANNOT find Boot Camp 3.1 upgrade for Windows 7 64 bit on Apple website at all. Can someone please help me on this? Is there a way to get the complete Boot Camp 3.2 package that can simply be installed on version 3.0.1??

here is the link to bootcamp 3.1 for windows 7 64 bit http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1336 .. and no there is no package that can be applied to the windows side to go from 3.0.1 to 3.2

Windows not finding Boot Camp on MacBook Pro

Hey everyone. I have Windows 7 64-bit and a MacBook Pro (mid 2010) with OS X Lion installed. When I boot up in Windows, it seems that only half of the time Windows realizes that it is on a Mac. Meaning...only half of the time the Boot Camp program is running in the notification tray, and only half of the time will Windows register the volume up/down, brightness up/down, and keyboard backlight up/down buttons on the Mac. It makes it very difficult to say...adjust the brightness or volume in the middle of a game. I can still go out of the game and turn up the volume in the notification area, but it is becoming a huge hassle. Like I said, this is only happening about half of the time. The other half of the time Windows registers that Boot Camp is on it, there is the Boot Camp icon in the bottom right corner of Windows, and all of my control buttons (brightness, volume, etc.) work just fine. Any ideas on how to make this happen every time? Thanks.

Trackpad issues - Windows 7 64-bit

Hi. This may have been posted already, but I can't seem to find any topics. I just installed Windows 7 64-bit on my Macbook, 2.4 Intel Core 2 Duo, and am unable to right click when in Boot Camp. I'm running OSX 10.6.6. Should I just install the 32-bit version, or is there a fix that allows me to run 64-bit and be able to right click. Having left click only is kind of a drag.

in osx bootcamp program one creates a usb stick or disc with the required apple drivers
installing that made my imacs magic pad work in windows 7 and later windwows8

No sound on windows 7 64 bit?

Hi, I recently installed windows 7 64 bit on my macbook, and first thing I noticed is that there was no sound. Any help?

Do a search for the same question and you'll find quite a few answers. It depends on the model/year, etc, of your computer on what the fix is. Too many to list here.
At the top of the window there are two search bars, use the one with the Blue search button and it will just do a search in the Boot Camp forum. There are also a dozen or so pages of posts you can browse also.
Try No sound in Windows .
Good luck......

Pause, back, and fwd (F6-8) keys don't work with iTunes. [Windows 7 64-bit]

All my other F# keys work (I can adjust the screen brightness, adjust the volume...etc) but my Pause (F8), Back (F7) and Fwd (F9) keys don't work with iTunes. Though they DO work with Windows Media Player.
How can I get them to work with iTunes?
I'm using Windows 7 64-bit on a macbook pro.

Same problem here.
I'm using Macbook late '09 + Windows 7 64-bit + iTunes 10.0.1.22 for Windows,
and my media function keys don't work. I don't use Windows Media Player though.
