If I use Boot camp to install windows do I need a windows disc, will i lose all my data, etc. If so how to I save them. Can I switch back to osx after I install windows. ( can I switch between Windows and OS X as many times as I want.) thanks for answering.

Is it possible to downgrade windows 8.1 pro FPP oem to windows 7 pro? what is the procedure to downgrade FPP OEM windows 8.1?
If you have license for Windows 7 or you have downgrade option. You should do reinstall of Windows 7 and there is no direct downgrade option. It is possible to backup data and then restore files from user profile manually but there is
no direct downgrade option and you have to reinstall all programs. -
I want to install windows on my mac pro but my superdrive is dead...
I have a 2008 Mac Pro (Intel) running 10.10. I'm trying to install windows (8.1) on my machine which I have done several times before (mostly XP and windows 7). I've created a bootable USB drive using bootcamp but my machine won't boot from it or recognize it on startup. From research it doesn't seem that machines that came with super drives will allow this. Since my super drive is dead I need a way to install windows without it - buying a new one would only be used to install windows. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I can have the USB show up either with or without pulling the OS X hardrive. When I try to launch it however nothing happens although the USB flickers forever showing activity. I've tried creating the usb from both .cdr and .iso files with no difference.
I looked at the link you posted and it seems that the OP was only able to install windows from his DVD player. I really hope there is another way and appreciate your help. -
My keyboard and my mouse doesn't work when I want to install windows on my mac.
Hi,
I have a macbook 15 retina, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 Memory Go 1600 MHz DDR3, OS X 10.9.5 (13F34).
I'm trying to install Bootcamp, but when they ask me to choose the language I'm not able to move or write. So I can't install windows. I tried to do everything from the beginnig 3 times by following carefully each step. I'm using windows 7 professionnal to install boorcamp. I'm sorry with my english, I'm french speaker.
How can I resolve this problem?1. Did you use Bootcamp Assistant?
2. Did you build a USB with Windows 7 ISO and Bootcamp drivers?
3. You should use a USB2.0 disk, not a USB3.0 disk (flash drive).
4. What year is the Retina MBP? -

I want to install windows 8 without bootcamp ...
So here is what I did step by step:
1. make partition via disk utility and format using MS-DOS / FAT
2. Insert windows cd and restart
3. Hold C when it's booting up
4. It goes right away to windows installation, and when I see my partition, I choose the partition i made from disk utility
5. On the "where do you want to install Windows" menu (with many partitions on the screen where you supposed to choose which one to install windows), I can't install windows yet, so I click Drive Options, then Format, but after I format the partition, I still can't click Next
Some said that I need to make the partition via disk utlity using NTFS, but I still can't install
It stucks on the "where do you want to install Windows" menu
Is it because the windows 8?
Or is it because Mountain Lion won't let you do this anymore?
All I want is to make 3 partitions since bootcamp limit only 2 partitions max.
I did successfully install windows 8 without any issue using bootcamp, but then again it was only 2 partitions.
I use VMware, and it takes your memory like crazy
*sigh*I use VMware now, but it surely eats A LOT of memory
I can see that free memory is around 2GB, and after I hit VMware to run windows, memory left is around 30MB
Maybe I should buy another memory just for the sake of VMware?
I guess not, it's not worth it.
I really wish I can create triple partition like people taught out there on google.
But I can't make it happen -

I wanted to install windows for Mac and I had vista so I put I the disk and installed followed the steps it then it closed my computer wen I turned it on it went straight to windows and it asked me to install it and put in the windows box code I found out I didn't have it so I wanted to go back to Mac I shut it off and it just goes back to windows and asks me to put the box code how do I get rid of it and go back to Mac because no buttons work at the start and i can't take out the disk !! Help
The two other posts are correct... so I'll just clarify. What's happening right now is your system is trying to boot into Windows in order to finish the installation. What you want to do is make it boot into OS X. As mende1 indicated, with your system off, hold down the Option key and continue to hold it while you turn the system on. You will eventually be presented with an option to select which partition you would like to boot from. Choose OS X. After you get into OS X, again, as mende1 indicated, change the Startup Disk to OS X. What this will do is cause your system to automatically boot into OS X when you restart it instead of you having to use the Option key when booting each time.
Relaunching BootCamp Assistant will allow you to remove your Windows installation and partition. -
i want to instal windows 7 using bootcamp on my mac book pro and how large do i have to make the partition if i want to use it for gaming?
"At least 16 GB of free space on the disk onto which you’re installing for 32-bit, or 20 GB for 64-bit (for Microsoft Windows and Windows-based applications)."
That's what Apple proposes in here Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows
Personally I would double these amounts and add to that the diskspace needed for your Windows games.

Please help. I have a Mac Book Pro ( late 2007- A1226) that I want to install Windows 7 ultimate on. I have boot camp 3.0 and I can set up the partition but when i click start installation, I get a black screen ( for a few seconds) then it goes to a grey window, which alternates between flashing the apple symbol and a circle with line through it. It will do this for however long I let it go for.
Would it be better for me to buy parallels software than keep persisting with this avenue.First, make sure you ONLY have the wired Apple Keyboard and wired mouse connected.
You should have BootCamp Asst. 3.3 or 3.4 now I believe is the latest version.
Do you have the W7 disk or ISO download version?
When does the flashing start, after Windows 7 sets the NTFS formating and you click to install? -
Hey everyone,
I want to install windows 8 32bit on my mac pro (mid 2012). I upgraded the windows 7 I already had, but now I dont have drivers at all...
I searched drivers for the windows 8 32 bit but couldn't find any...
Any solutions guys?
Thanks a lot.
Sincerely,
ChiponnThere's been an update for OSX ML which addresses the issue for installing Windows 8 on bootcamp.
It's NOT recommended that you Upgrade.. However, the way to get the drivers is:
You'll need an external USB drive formatted as FAT for this.
1) In OSX, start the Bootcamp Assistant
2) Press Next
3) UNTICK 'Remove WIndows 7 or Later Version'
4) TICK Download the Latest Windows Support Software from Apple
5) Insert USB drive
6) Press CONTINUE
The drivers should download, and copy a WIndowsSupport folder onto the USB drive.
I did notice that Windows 8 still requires beta drivers for some aspects such as VGA (the Radio HD Card), which you can get on the AMD website.
Futhermore, why are you using Windows 8 "32" bit when you blatently have a powerful 64bit?
Anyway, hope this post helps ;-) -
hi i want to use boot camp for the first time but i was wondering if when you install windows in your mac there is any risk of virus?

Of course there is. There is with any computer system that you connect to the internet or transfers files to and from. When you run Windows on your Mac you increase the chance from zero that you will get a Windows based virus to virtualy the same risk as any other Windows user.
The weaknesses in Windows OS and applications are well trodden by virus and worm malcontents the world over. That doesn't mean that OSX is exempt though. All it will take is once and the entire Mac world will sit up and take notice......

insteade of using mac os on macbook pro, i wanted to install windows 8 pro on mac book pro, will that void my warranty
Installing any OS you want on your machine will not void the warranty. Only making hardware changes other than those listed as "user servicable" by Apple, or negligence will void your warranty.
I will warn you that there might be SMC or EFI udates you will want for your Mac hardware that are only available if you are runnign Mac OS. For this reason, you may want to keep a small partition on your drive which still has Mac OS installed, or at the very least, keep an external HD around to be able to boot Mac OS. Additionally, if you are having hardware issues, like a failing DVD writer, you may have a harder time getting Apple to repair it under warranty if you can not reproduce the error under Mac OS. When I had the DVD writer replaced in my first MacBook Pro, I found the problems trying to write discs under Windows 7, but when the tech could reproduce an error under Mac OS, he quickly accepted it was a hardware problem and not software. Without reproducing it under Mac OS, he admitted that he might not be able to get them to replace the drive.
