I can't create a USB bootable Windows in Boot Camp Mavericks

In Lion I was able to modify the file info.plist in the Package of bootcamp...
</array>
          <key>PreUSBBootSupportedModels</key>
          <array>
removing the ''Pre''
</array>
          <key>USBBootSupportedModels</key>
          <array>
In Mavericks i try to remove it and bootcamp crash when i'm trying to start the program.
I also can't read or burn any CD or DVD except if its a real DVD Movie.

Thank you for this.  Unfortunantly Boot Camp Assistant still crashes.  In the list or now USBSupportedDevices it lists out the models like this:
<key>USBBootSupportedModels</key>
          <array>
                    <string>MacBook7,1</string>
                    <string>MacBookAir3,2</string>
                    <string>MacBookPro8,3</string>
                    <string>MacPro5,1</string>
                    <string>Macmini4,1</string>
                    <string>iMac12,2</string>
          </array>
I have a MacbookPro8,2.  Can I add it to the list or is it included?  I have replaced my superdrive with a hard drive and only have an external CD drive now.  Thanks in advance!

  • I can't create a USB booteable Windows in Boot Camp Mavericks that actually boots

    Hi everyone... I have an issue that is apparently very common and yet I haven't found a working solution... I'm trying to install windows 7 using boot camp on my iMac 8,1 it is running Mavericks... I've got as far as creating the windows USB but after boot camp attempts to restart the computer I get that "no bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key" message. My DVD unit is not working so I decided to try with the USB option but I'm stuck... I've tried using different (very different) pen drives (brand and sizes) but I always get this. I have also tried holding the alt/option key when I turn the computer on but it does never shows the USB, I've tried with different .iso files 32 and 64 bits, original and "questionable"... I hope you guys have a working solution for this. Thanks in advance, have a nice day.

    Windows will not boot from USB if the Mac has an internal optical drive. This is something that Microsoft implemented.

  • Partitioned external hard drive for creating the USB bootable device

    Hi all,
    I want to install Win 7 on my Macbook Pro (OS X Yosemite 10.10.1) but I don't have an 8GB or larger USB flash driver. I do have an external hard drive of 500GB that I use for backup. So, I tried to create a small partition on this disk to create the USB bootable device required for the windows installation but apparently I'm not able to select any specific partition when the boot camp assistant ask me for the destination disk.
    Is that normal?
    Thanks.

    Yes, you can do that.
    Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined.  It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.)  You can purchase hard drives separately.  This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice.  Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu.  You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
    Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available.  You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports.  I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.)  You can find enclosures at places such as;
    Cool Drives
    OWC
    WiebeTech
    Firewire Direct
    California Drives
    NewEgg
    All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover.  Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

    Ok Great,
    Will installing Boot Camp drivers allow me to both read and write to the OS X Volume from windows?
    This is important as if it will it means i can make the windows partition a lot smaller and keep all my files on the OS X partition which would be preferable.
    Jon
    No, OSX will be read only (from Windows) and vice versa. (you can install 3rd party utilities on either or both partitions, to make read/write possible)

  • I have a mac pro wich will not open windows in boot camp i get to the two options select windows but iyt will not load can you help please

    i have a mack pro which will not open in windows from boot camp get to the two options and select windows drive but it will not open can you help Please

    Hi there, Well, i thing i might have had the same problem (if you dont mean the selecting part, then try keyboad with usb and without if u dont have a macbook pro or so), i did the same and after selecting windows it said "No bootable disk" or " no boot disk" or something like that and the installer wont start when i was trying to install via CD/DVD.
    The sulution is to use 2 usb-drives, one for the support drivers from apple and one for the windows it self after burning the CD/DVD to the usb on a PC using the windows own tools and creating a ISO file.
    (there might be problems whit CD/DVD install sometimes)
    The ISO file on a own USB is the most importat thing!! (and even apple and windows didnt know that but me and a technikal support guy from the store i bought it managed to fix it after like 4 days )
    Hope it work now mate!

  • 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.

  • HT5446 If I buy a mac mini with a fusion drive and add windows using boot camp, can I make the SSD function be dedicated to the windows partition?

    If I buy a mac mini with a fusion drive and add windows using boot camp, can I make the SSD function be dedicated to the windows partition?

    Additional information from Linc's post. Basically, only one additional partition can be added to a Fusion Drive and it resides on the HDD.
    Do computers that come with a Fusion Drive support Boot Camp?
    Yes. Use the Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition and install Boot Camp. The Windows partition will exist on the hard disk drive, not the Flash drive, and is not part of Fusion Drive Logical Volume Group. 3TB Fusion Drive configurations need to update to OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.3 or later to install Windows 8. See iMac (27-inch, Late 2012): Boot Camp alert with 3T hard drive for more information.

  • How can I get Windows 7 Boot Camp to find my Magic Mouse?

    Hey!
    So I just bought a Magic Mouse and it works flawlessly in OS X.
    But when I use Windows 7 Boot Camp I can't find the mouse to add it as a new device. My bluetooth works just fine and I have the Boot Camp 3.3 drivers.
    I tried rebooting, turning the mouse off and on, read a bunch of guides on the internet but no one is having issues CONNECTING the mouse, only getting it to work, so my research is proving to be hard.
    Can you guys help me?
    Thanks!

    Hi Maia,
    Can you please mention your MAC model (MBA 2011, MBP, iMac?). Which OS X version?. Have you problems pairing other bluetooth devices?
    You may want to try the following setps.
    1.- First make sure that you have the latest EFI and software updates. Including latest bootcamp bluetooth drivers.
    2.- Unpair MM in Mac OSX
    3.- Do a Nvram and SMC reset:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
    4.- Restart
    5.- Pair your MM under Mac OSX
    6.- Boot on Bootcamp assiging bootcamp as a starting partition
    7.- Add your device.
    Let me know if that worked, there are another tricks you can try but I need additional information.

  • Which version of Windows XP (SP1, SP2, SP3?) can I install on Mac Pro 2011 using Boot camp

    I am planning to install Microsoft XP on my Mac Pro 2011 using boot-camp. Since there are multiple versions available (Home, Professional, Pro with SP1, SP2, and SP3's etc…) I am finding hard to decide which one is the tested and best available option?
    Also any other specific features to consider while purchasing this OS.
    Please advise…

    However, I am not clear what you guys wanna say here, I simply want to know Which windows XP can I install on Macbook Pro (Laptop) using boot camp?
    I will repeat what I already said given that you told us that you are running Lion on a newer MacBook Pro.
    You should visit the Boot Camp forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp
    And you should read the Boot Camp Help documents http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    XP, regardless of version, is not going to work on a newer computer nor will it work if you are running Lion OS.

  • [HELP] Windows 7 Boot Camp Boot Problem?

    Hi,
    I have a problem when booting windows 7 after installing it using bootcamp.
    Here is what i did:
    1) Used Boot Camp assistant to "Install Windows 7 or later version" (Last tick box option) - This also partitioned my drive.
    2) While Windows 7 was installing it rebooted several times, I held the option key to select the Windows 7 instlltion disk for every reboot.
    3) Once Windows 7 had finished installing I installed Boot Camp 5 for Windows 7.
    However everytime I restart my Macbook Pro it boots into OSX Mavericks fine, When I go to startup disk there is no option to select the Windows 7 Boot Camp partition.
    When I hold the option key while turining on my Macbook Pro I get the option to select the Windows 7 Partition, but when i select it I get a grey folder with a question mark. However when I turn on my Macbook Pro (with the Windows 7 installation disk inserted) holding the option key, when i select the Windows 7 disk it boot the Windows 7 partition fine?
    I have installed reFind and tried that but I get an error: http://puu.sh/80FZt.jpg
    What can I do to fix this? I want to be able to boot into Windows 7 without having the Windows 7 installation disk in the SuperDrive, and i also want to have the startup disk preferences to display the Windows 7 partition.
    Thanks in Advance
    Harvinder

    Ok, I have done what you have both said (bobthefisherman & turbostar):
    1) Deleted Windows 7 partition with BCA
    2) Selected all 3 options in BCA, which created a USB install and it also partitioned my HDD
    3) I waited for it to reboot and then it came up with a grey fold with a question mark in it
    I never intervened with it in any way.
    How do i fix this now? Any further suggestions?
    Thanks

  • Windows 7 Boot Camp no longer recognize my wireless mouse and Keyboard?

    I have a mid 2011 27in iMac on 10.9.1 and I run Windows 7 via boot camp, sometimes Parallels as well. Today I tried to boot up in to Windows via Boot Camp, but I can not control the cursor or input anything via kayboard. This has happened before and I only got it working again after reinstalling Windows, which I am REALLY trying to avoid
    The thing is, when I boot in to Windows, it is definitely responding to the keyboard when I hold F8 to go in to safe mode, but once the desktop loads up, I lose any function of mouse or keyboard. Even when I try to manually add a device using a USB mouse, it is not detecting any wireless device.
    Both my Magic Trackpad and Wireless Keyboard work fine in OS X, Windows 7 when in Parallels and works during the start up of boot camp, but not when Windows 7's desktop boots up.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You have to download the drivers. To download them, press X key while your Mac is starting to start into Mac OS X, open Boot Camp Assistant and follow the steps to download them. You will have to burn them onto a DVD or USB drive, so you will be able to install the drivers on Windows. Then, it should work fine.
    If you can't download them in Boot Camp Assistant, download the drivers from this website > http://www.cafe-encounter.net/p682/download-bootcamp-drivers The links are from Apple and that's safe to download and install

    If GTA IV believes the system is under specification even though the computer is powerful enough to run the game with higher settings, the following will fix this problem.
    This will work if your problem looks like this: "resource usage 230/60" and you can't change any other setting
    Just follow the steps:
    Step 1: Create a text file named ‘commandline.txt’ (without the " ")
    Step 2: Put the following statement inside it:
    i5 users: -availablevidmem 18.0 (with the -)
    i7 users: -availablevidmem 22.0 (with the -)
    Step 3: Open the main GTAIV folder (C/ program files (86)/ rockstar games/ GTA IV) and copy the commandline.txt file into it.
    Step 4: locate the file "GTAIV.exe" (in GTA main folder)
    Right click the file and select Properties
    Under the shortcut tab, you will see an area that says Target
    Modify the Target adding the command line after the last quotation mark (just add the statement you added in commandline.txt)
    (remember, i5 users: -availablevidmem 18.0 / i7 users: -availablevidmem 22.0)
    It should look something like this:
    Make sure to add space between " and -"
    I hope This helps, although late cx
