I've installed windows in boot camp, how do i start windows

I've Installed windows xp prof. with boot camp and now I'm not sure how to start windows.

A successfully install should have booted directly to windows. If not restart and hold down the option key and select the windows partition to boot from that.
Also make sure to insert your leopard disc to install all the drivers as well as the bootcamp utility to switch from one OS to the other.

  • How to change  FAT to  NFTS for Windows 7  Boot Camp                                                                                  How to change Fat to NFTS on BootCamp for Windows 7

    When I try to start BootCamp for Windows 7, I cannot change FAT to NTFS. I have created CDS for BootCamp upgrades 3.1 3.2 and 3.3.
    Can't use them with Windows 7 disc in player. What to do?

    Boot Camp creates a partition for you to install Windows into. Typically if you chose a size less than 32GB it will initially be FAT32, if bigger it will be NTFS. However what it is, is rather irrelevant. When you install Windows 7 it only allows using NTFS for a boot drive and it will automatically reformat that partition to NTFS if needed.

  • Windows 7 boot camp screen goes black after windows startup screen!!!!!!

    A few days ago when I tried to start my MacBook Pro in windows 7 (enterprise) I encountered a completly black screen after the startup screen.
    1) Choose start in Windows 7 from boot camp menu (holding option after starting up computer)
    2) Windows start up screen would appear and finish
    3) For a very brief second my cursor pointer would appear and login screen would flash onto the screen, then the screen would go black
    BUT
    I CAN boot windows 7 in safe mode
    The computer is still on when screen goes black (fan still running and i can use keyboard commands to shut down the computer)
    I've been searching the Internet for DAYS to no avail
    PLEASE someone help me....... ive already tried the sfc /scannow and dskchk commands in the command prompt window

    Win 7 Enterprise is not supported by Boot Camp, you may or may not get it to work reliably, (I would not bother to try)
    Read this document then pick a supported version of Windows for your Mac.

  • How do I get the latest drivers for windows 7 boot camp install?

    I have a 24" mac early 2009. I had windows xp installed on a partition using an early edition of boot camp. I had to reformat my mac and so I purchased windows 7 home premium oem edition.  When I try to install and copy boot camp drives to a 32 gb usb drive I get a message that Apple does not have drivers for that.

    I have an older Mac Pro (2006). I want to install Boot Camp and Windows. I have installed a boxed Snow Leapord on the machine. And it says the download of the Boot camp drivers cannot continue because they are not available. But at that point I have not inserted a windows disk, so how does it know i have XP?
    So it appears I am limited to Windows 7? And where are the Windows 7/Boot Camp Drivers? On the OS disk?
    Finally, since I have necer considered Windows 7 before, I assume there are no compatability issues with mainstream applications that were running in XP?
    Thank you.

    You're welcome
    Just remember to reformat the partition (bootcamp partition) to NTFS with the windows installer, ensure to pick the correct partition.

    The BootCamp Drivers (or Windows Support Software) is on the OSX Snow Leopard 10.6 Installation DVD 1 that came with your MacBook.
    Insert that disc after successful installation of Windows and while in Windows.

  • How should i allocate the right RAM and disk space to windows through boot camp or parallels ?

    i am trying to understand how you need to set things up when trying to run windows from a mac ( using bootcamp / parallels ). i want to understand the implications around RAM.
    i have a mac with 1terra SSD and 16 GB of RAM, and if i want to install windows i need to partition and allocate memory and disk space for windows.
    now i would be running on windows :
    cad 2015
    revit / rhino
    photoshop and some other graphic softwares
    so my questions are:
    how do i decide how much space should be allocated to windows and once i decide that, can i change it later ?
    how do i decide what RAM should be allocated to windows. and can i also change that in the future ?
    now lets say i allocated 8 GB of RAM for winddows using bootcamp, does that mean that every time i log into my mac through OS, it will only be using 8GB of the total RAM ?
    here's my last question : i have my parallels software yet to be installed, just as the windows 8 software. now should i use bootcamp to install windows ? could i install windows using parallels ? if yes which is better to use ?

    1. Windows needs 60GB for good performance, add the needs of the apps you intend to use and I would say no less than 100GB. (it can be changed later but it is not an easy task unless you pay for Camp Tune)
    2. You do not allocate Ram to Windows in Boot Camp. Windows will use all of it (64bit Windows) or 4GB (32bit Windows)
    3. See 2
    4. Use Boot Camp, Parallels will not allow Windows to run at full speed.
    General Notes:
    1. Make a complete backup of your Mac before you start! (do not skip this)
    2. Read the Boot Camp directions, then read them again.

  • Windows 7/Boot Camp/SSD SATA3 install problems

    Hi there,
    I just registered to this community having bought a MacBook Pro 17" on Friday. The aim was to immediately upgrade the stock 5400 rpm drive with 120 GB SSD SATA 3 drive.  I installed a brand-new Corsair Force Series 3 120gb SSD but that drive was not even recognized by the Install DVD disk utilities. So I gave up on that one. I then tried an OCZ Vertex 3 and that was recognised immediately. I managed to install Snow Leopard no problems. The problem came when I tried to install Windows 7 using Boot Camp. It's important that I can have access to Windows 7 more than OS X at the moment as I am mainly a Windows user. 12 hours later I still hadn't managed to install Windows 7 after numerous attempts. The various problems included Windows 7 unable to format the drive. Also when I did manage to install Windows 7 it never quite completed the install or would freeze on the starting Windows screen. I managed to get into the Windows 7 installation a couple of times but then the whole shebang would freeze when I tried to install the Boot Camp drivers. Upon rebooting I would not be able to boot back into the Windows partition again. I was rapidly losing the will to live. So I gave up on the OCZ SSD drive as well.
    This morning as a last resort I installed an older Corsair Force Series 2 SSD 60 GB drive as an experiment. It was recognized immediately by the disk utilities unlike the Series 3 version and I managed to install Snow Leopard and Windows 7 via Boot Camp with zero problems. So it all up and running. Obviously the hard drive is much smaller than I wanted. But it proves one thing and that is that support of popular brands of SSD SATA 3 drives in the MacBook Pro 17" version is flaky to say the least and on the tests I did using two of these drives it was impossible to install Windows 7 using Boot Camp.
    If anyone else has experienced similar problems I'll be interested to hear.
    Regards
    Kraznet

    Oh yes, there are two flaky things to contend with here: the Corsair Force 3 120GB has had recall. I also have found the older 120GB didn't work properly on some motherboards and with older BIOS and Intel drivers.
    Questions:
    This is hopefully not an electronic EDU/MSDN ISO of Windows that you burned wtih Apple Disk Utility?
    primary Windows - forget Boot Camp Assistant - just boot from OS X DVD and change the SSD to Windows MBR partition table and FAT and then format in Windows. Me, I would have bought Windows 7 SP1 64-bit System Builder.
    From a hardware review reposted to Amazon:
    The Corsair Force Series 3 SSDs were announced just a few weeks ago - boasting SandForce SF-2281 controllers and a very aggressive price point. Just days after the first units started shipping, Corsair has issued a recall of the 120GB Force Series 3 SSDs. According to Corsair, the 120GB model is seeing, "a significant percentage of these drive do not operate to specification." What the failure is exactly isn't clear, Corsair is quick to deflect blame from their partners, simply stating that both hardware and firmware need to be fixed.
    Buyers of the Force Series 3 SSD in the 120GB capacity can return the drive to Corsair for exchange - retailers are also accepting returns. The 60GB and 240GB models are not affected. For more information on how to exchange a defective drive, visit this thread [...] in the Corsair support forums.
    I'm surprised anyone is selling the Force 3 120GB (though it is on Newegg it is not on Amazon since it was pulled)
    Apple has had a slew of problems with the new SATA 6G and 2011s.
    http://macperformanceguide.com/blog/2011/20110607_2_MBP-ssd-howto.html
    http://blog.macsales.com/page/2
    the internal SATA port on the 2011 MacBook Pro is 6 gigabit. One reader installed a Crucial C300 and got 362MB/s average read speed for large sequential transfers. We're looking forward to testing the Intel 6Gb/s 510 SSD and OCZ 6Gb/s Vertex 3 which should be even faster.

  • 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

  • Unable to install NVIDIA drivers on Windows 8 (Boot Camp)

    I'm running Windows 8 on a secondary partition on my MacBook Pro (17-inch, 2009).
    I have, in the past, been able to successfully install Windows 8 on a second partition on this mac and get everything working, including all of my device drivers. I had to erase that partition, though, so I no longer have that installation.
    I've installed Windows 8 again, but I'm not able to get my NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT or 9400M graphics drivers to install!
    First of all, I tried installing both 5.0.5033 and 5.1.5621 support software. After a lot of hassle, I got 5.1.5621 to install, but only through the BootCamp\Drivers\Apple\BootCamp.msi file, not through the BootCamp\setup.exe file (the setup.exe tells me that this version of Boot Camp is not intended for this computer model).
    When I install the drivers that way, they don't install the NVIDIA drivers.
    Next, I've gone directly to the NVIDIA drivers folder inside the support software, and tried to install them from there. i've also downloaded newer versions of the NVIDIA drivers from their website, and with all versions of the NVIDIA drivers, I've had to go through a huge hassle to get them to go to the setup wizard (instead of telling me there's no compatible hardware).
    Then, I managed to get them to start installing, but - after Windows has me confirm that I really want to install the driver, despite it's signature - the screen invariably goes black, and my computer shuts down instantly, in what I can only assume is a kernel panic.
    This is incredibly frustrating, and I don't know what to do about it. I can't seem to find anyone else with the same problem. Can anyone help me?

  • Installing Parallels when Boot Camp already running Windows

    I'm considering installing Parallels on my MacBook Pro, which I already have partitioned with a drive running Windows using Boot Camp. What I need to know is, do I need to eliminate the partition with Boot Camp and if so, will I have to completely reinstall Windows and all my Windows software? I don't want to waste the partition that's dedicated to the virtual drive, rather I'd prefer to have the entire hard drive available to MAC. I really want to have parallels, as it's easier for me to be able to work on Windows and MAC applications at the same time, without having to stop-shut down-restart each time.

    Parallels can use your existing Boot Camp partition for the VM, if that's what you're asking. However, if you want to have all one partition (without the Boot Camp one), then yes, you'll have to reinstall Windows when you install Parallels, unless there's some way to "import" your Boot Camp" setup that I don't know about.
