  • Having problem installing Win7 using Bootcamp on Mac Mini 2011

    I'm trying to install Win7 using bootcamp on my new Mac Mini 2011. I first partitionned the disc using Bootcamp assistant. Then during Win7 installation I select Partition 4 BOOTCAMP, format it to NTFS, then when I try to select the drive, it says that the drive is not compatible for the installation.
    Is there anything I missed???
    Thanks

    I had a similar problem when I selected upgrade instead of complete install. I want to make sure your aware that you should click the complete option instead of upgrade when you reach that portion of the win7 install. Then you need to select part ion 4 like you have stated and format it to ntfs.
    But it seems that you've already done all of that. My advice would be to go back to the Mac side, restore the partition using bootcamp and again partition it. You need at least 25gb of space for 64 bit. I would recommend using at least 40gb. Just trying to help. I apologize if I misunderstood your problems. But make sure you click on the opposite choice of upgrade, I did my mini last night lol but I can't remember the exact name of the option I think it's complete, then select part 4 and click format....

  • How do I install windows using BootCamp without cd drive fot the new MBP?

    I need some softwares for my work (modelsim, altera, ltspices etc) but some of them only supports windows.
    New MBP doesnt seem to have a cd driver.
    How do I install windows using bootcamp without cd drivers?

    You can use a USB thumbdrive to do this, assuming you have access to a windows machine to format the usb stick.
    I installed Win7 on my MB Air (2011), which of course lacks a DVD drive altogether, using this technique.
    Basically, you download a tool called rEFIt to your macbook. ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/refit/files/rEFIt/0.14/rEFIt-0.14.dmg/download ) When this is installed, it gives you a boot selector menu when you boot the Macbook ('Do you want to boot to MacOS or to the USB drive?')
    Then you download and run an Apple tool called Boot Camp Assistant, which allows you to partition your HD for the two operating systems to share; it also pulls down all the windows drivers you need.
    Then prep the USB thumbdrive on a windows machine to be a Win7 installer disk. You'll want a drive in the 4gb+ range I think. You have to set up the thumbdrive to be bootable (lots of tools for that available), and then copy all the windows installation files over to it.
    Put the thumbdrive in the macbook and boot holding down the option key.
    Choose the rEFIt icon on boot, then choose to boot from the thumbdrive, then format your new windows partition to something Win7 can handle, and install windows.
    On my machine I followed a slightly more involved process and wiped out MacOS entirely. I would have kept it on a small partition if I'd had a bigger hard drive.

  • When I try to install WinXP using bootcamp, the iMac will not recognize the CD after it has already read all the information and is ready to begin installation. What is the problem?

    When I try to install WinXP using bootcamp, the iMac will not recognize the CD after it has already read all the information and is ready to begin installation. What is the problem?

    If your on 10.6.8 like you should be for security/stability updates, somewhere along the line a later Bootcamp version was issued and only supports Win 7.
    You can read my post here for a alternative solution, running a virtual machine software

  • How can I install or use Microsoft Office on my iPad 4?

    How can I install or use Microsoft Office on my iPad 4?

    You cannot. Microsoft has not made a version of Office for iOS. There are however a number of apps that are compatible with Office documents. Apple makes iOS versions of their own iWork apps (Pages, Keynote, Numbers) that are available free if you purchase a new iOS device and that can be purchased separately for older devices. There are also 3rd party combined suites that cost less than the separate Apple apps. Ones often recommended include Documents 2 Go,  Quickoffice and Office2 HD.
    If you can accept needing a network connection whenever you want to use the apps and have an Office 365 subscription, Microsoft has just released their Office Mobile app, though it has significant limitations. Or a server-based solution such as CloudOn might be an option for you.

    How can I install and use a mouse on an iPad?

    This has come up a number of times over the years...you cannot use a mouse with an iOS device such as the iPad since there is no cursor to move around.  Interface has to be via the touch screen.

  • If I use a USB stick for time machine, will I be able to install Windows (using bootcamp) from the same USB?

    I have a 64GB USB Stick, and I am interested in usign it with time machine. My question is, firstly, is this possible? And secondly, if I do do this, would it be possible to install windows using bootcamp from the same USB. My mother refuses to let me install windows without a backup of Mac OS X, so I really need to know if this is possible???

    You need to use a drive that is larger than your Mac's internal drive for Time Machine, so a USB stick will not work.  You need to buy an external hard drive.  It's worth it. Time machine is a fantastic backup system, keeping not just a single backup, but multiple versions of your files as well (hence the need for a larger drive).

  • Can't manage to install Windows using Bootcamp

    For some reason I can't manage to install Windows 7 using bootcamp. It paritions the disk, pop in the Windows installation DVD and restart.
    The Macbook Pro takes a while to startup (it stays on the grey screen for a while). After a while of waiting, it goes to a black screen with a white blinking thingy on the top left of the screen. Here is where it gets stuck... I've tried to leave it like that for 30 minutes or so, but it just keeps blinking.
    I tried holding the option key at startup and boot into the disc, but it does the same thing. I'm using a original Windows 7 DVD. I tried a XP CD also, no go.
    I'm using an early 2008 Macbook Pro (2.4Ghz) with Snow Leopard.
    Anyone can help?

    Having this exact issue after getting my (Early 2008 24", 3.06GHz, 8800GS) iMac back from having it's stock drive replaced by Apple.
    Prior to the drive replacement, it had a stock 500GB drive, and dual-booted 10.6/XP Pro flawlessly. Then the drive died. After running it off an external for a month, I brought it in for service.
    Apple replaced it with a 640GB, as apparently they don't stock the 500GB disks anymore.
    10.6 works fine.
    Applied updates, restored my home directory and apps from the external, no problems.
    Ran BootCamp Assistant, made a 120GB partition. Inserted the same XP CD I've used before. Reboot...black screen, flashing cursor. Waited 30 min for it to pick up, nada. Rebooted, held down Option, picked the disc - same deal.
    Rebooted into 10.6, checked the disc was readable. No problem. Tried starting an install in VMware from the disc. No problem. Tried the disc in my MBP. No problem, boots like a charm. Highly skeptical the CD is the issue.
    Re-ran BootCamp Assistant, merged the partition back into the 10.6 one. Rebooted from my 10.6 install disc, ran Disk Utility's Repair over the internal disc - no errors found. Repaired permissions to be safe (found a couple minor things in my home directory). Rebooted into 10.6 and ran BootCamp Assistant again, this time with a 32GB partition. Same problem.
    Rebooted from the 10.6 install media, wiped out the partitions, laid a new, fresh OSX install on the internal. Booted, ran updates, then BootCamp Assistant (did not copy any of my data back this time, nor did I install anything other than the OS and updates). Same problem.
    Shut down completely, unplugged for 5 min or so (reset SMC). Booted, clearing PRAM. Booted into 10.6, re-merged the partitions. Rebooted, clearing PRAM again. Booted into 10.6, ran BootCamp Assistant to create the partition. Rebooted, clearing PRAM yet again. Removed all peripherals save the keyboard/mouse. Tried to boot from the Windows CD - same problem.
    Dug out my WIn7RC1 DVD for kicks. Same problem through similar iterations. This disc also boots fine on the MBP, and can start a VMware installation without issue.
    As we speak, I'm booted from the 10.6 installation media once more, this time zeroing out the internal disc entirely. If this doesn't work, I'm not sure where to go next.

  • Can't install windows on bootcamp partition

    Hi, I got a problem hehe. When I use bootcamp to creat a partition, the windows installation does not reconize the partition. The only parition I can install on is a "patition1" with 131Go... But my hard drive is a 250Go and the parition I created is 32Go so I dont know where they took this 131Go.
    Anyway I found that when I creat a big parition... suppose 100Go the Windows installation reconize it. A 100go parition is in NTFS and a 32Go one is in FAT32.
    So the question is: How to creat a 32Go NTFS partition with OS X.5.1 or any way to install windows XP on my macbook.
    Thanks, Pascal.

    Are you sure your XP is a full install and SP2?

  • Can't install XP through bootcamp

    Hello. I have been trying to install windows XP home edition SP2 onto my macbook 13" for a while now but have been running into issue after issue.
    First things first, I am running OS 10.7.3 and trying to install using bootcamp. I have so far been able to download and burn the disk for the drivers etc for after installing windows. However when I try and progress to the install of windows and creating the partition I run into a few issues.
    First up bootcamp in the progression options only mentions installing windows 7....ignoring that and clicking to the next step I set the amount that I wan't to partition (250GB HDD - partitioning off 50GB) when clicking install I come up against a message saying that the installer disc could not be found. I have no internal disc drive currently as it broke some time back, but I have a samsung external optical drive that I use, loads discs on the computer fine normally, so is it not finding the installer because its not looking for an external drive? Or would it be because it is looking for Windows 7?
    I have also tried partitioning the drive using the disc utilities app, although after taking a while about it, it says Partition failed (couldn't modify partition map because file system varification failed) So now I am stumped and can't think of what to try.
    Any help in getting the computer partitioned and installing windows would be great!

    Actually you certainly can install XP even though you have Lion, however, there are a few hurdles to jump to do so.
    First is the question did your computer come with Lion or did it come with Leopard or Snow Leopard when you first got it? If it came with Lion when bought from Apple then don't bother with XP and use Windows 7. If it came with Leopard or Snow Leopard then you can use XP. Proceed to next Hurdle...
    You must have a Windows 7 Install disk for Lion to proceed to partitioning your hard drive. Wether you get an official disk or a non official one doesn't matter but it must be a Windows 7 disk. If you have one pop it in and proceed with the partitioning. If not, get one somehow or buy Windows 7 officially and forget XP.
    If you are determined to stick with XP and get a Windows 7 disk to allow you to partition your hard drive then hold down the option key before Bootcamp restarts your machine after the partioning, Eject the Windows 7 disk, pop in the Windows XP disk, boot from it and proceed to installing XP.
    Did this the other day actually. Worked like a charm.

  • Install XP (using bootcamp) on my imac 10.6.8. ?

    Can I install windows XP (using bootcamp) on my imac 10.6.8. or is it only possible with windows 7.
    I already had windows xp installed on my imac, but I obviously updated since to 10.6.8.
    when I deleted this partition, that was running perfectly dispite the updates, to make a bigger partition, it wouldn't work anymore with my windows xp disc.
    bootcamp talks about a windows 7 disc, is this because of the update? ( that you now need windows 7)

    Yes you can. Here is the trick:
    1. Insert a Windows 7 DVD into the Superdrive. ( It can be downloaded from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/cc442495 or elsewhere and burned to disc.
    2. Start Boot Camp Assistant
    3. When it comes time to reboot and install "Windows 7" at the part of reboot where the mac makes a "chime" sound, press and hold down option key.
    4. Wait a while, then you should see your harddrive and soon a cd with "Windows" will appear.
    5. Use the arrows keys only to choose the windows CD then press eject key to release the disc. The Windows 7 disc will eject.
    6. Insert the Windows XP with SP3 disk, wait for the cd with "Windows" to reappear then press enter then, install XP like you normally would with Boot Camp.
    7. Insert the Snow Leopard disc or Leopard disk after the Windows install is complete to install Boot camp drivers.
    8. Run Apple Software Updates under Windows to get the latest released drivers from Apple.
    9. Run Windows Updates a few times to get all the latest MS Security Software and Patches atc.
    This works under Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion
