Dual-Drive imac with Bootcamp/Win7 and storage

I have a Dual-Drive iMac with a 1TB SSD(primary) and a 6TB SATA(secondary) harddrive.
I have BOOTCAMP on the primary with Windows 7. I happen to be primarily a windows user. So I would like to use(read and write) most of the 6TB on the SATA drive as my windows storage. I would like to know if this is possible and if so how could I go about this without destroying the contents in the SATA drive(some mac folders).
Appreciate it, if someone could point me to the right resources or instructions to do this.
Thanks.

Thank you for the response. Here are answers to your questions:

I would like the 5.5TB storage (currently /dev/disk1 - 3) to be all allocated to Windows 7(Bootcamp). Also for some reason, the 5.5TB space is configured to be a logical Volume Group! not sure, when, how and why!

Locks up on google, yahoo mail, running windows 7 on imac with bootcamp

I'm running windows 7 on an imac with bootcamp. When I go to google or yahoo mail, I never seem to land. It seems to lock up. The links aren't active nor are the back buttons. When I close it, out it doesn't shut down, so I have to shut it down in task manager.

You can
Select CD-ROM Boot prompt
You just can't boot from the DVD without extra steps.
Apple uses UEFI on those Macs that are "blessed" as being compatible, and yours and mine have older 2005 era EFI32 that won't.
We also are stuck with 1.9GB usable RAM in 32-bit Vista/7 also, another blow.
And no firmware update to Unified EFI 2.x to make us "compatible." Has not stopped 1000s from doing so though.

IMac with bootcamp and parallel boots into windows 7 but won't boot intoxc lion.

IMac with bootcamp and parallel boots into windows 7 but won't boot into Mac OS lion?

Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion. Actually that was not the problem, because I had the Mcintosh drive set as my boot drive. The answer was that my Lion Os got somehow corrupted and I had to reinstalll Lion. This was all after I discussed the situation with the Apple Support people.

Magic Trackpad pairs with Bootcamp (Win7) MBP instead of another MBP w/Yosemite?

I've 2 MBP's - a Yosemite MBP and one running Win7 via Bootcamp. When the Yosemite MBP is off, the Magic Trackpad pairs with the old MBP (Win7/Bootcamp). I see no clear way to disable this pairing in Win7/Bootcamp or a clear way to disable Bluetooth on the Bootcamp/Win7 MBP either. I can shut down the Win7/Bootcamp PC, but this gets old very quick, as I tend to carry my Yosemite MBP w/me at the end of the day.
Any suggestions from the Mac Geniuses? Thank you.

Based on the multiple issues, I think I would reinstall OS X 10.10 from the recovery disk (your data is untouched). As always though, make a good backup before doing anything (I use Time Machine and I also make a bootable clone).

Unable to instal Win 8 on iMac with Bootcamp & Win 7. Help please.

Unable to install windows 8 on my imac with boot camp running Win 7. Instal gets reset to windows 7 with error message "unable to instal Win 8"

You need to go to the computer maker and get a copy of the OEM for your system. YOu cannot download a non OEM and repair "it" with the OEM CD'S. The cd's are probably for repair not install. Does your system have a restore partition?

AirParrot works fine with 10.8, but not with Bootcamp Win7

Hello!
I know that this is not a problem directly linked to Apple, but maybe someone uses a similar setup.
Since i have a Mid2010 iMac, i can't use the built-in AirPlay mirroring of ML and have to rely on a 3rd party product.
I my case i'm using AirParrot (1.4.3), which works fine if used in ML. Great picture in 1080p and flawless sound on my Samsung TV.
But the windows version of AirParrot (1.0.4) won't detect my ATV3, regardless of which configuration i'm trying. I'm using the identical network setup with ML and Win7 and i'm running out of options for a reason why it isn't detected. For playback i'm using VLC player on both OS.
Any ideas?
If you need more information, just ask.

I made all my media compatible to ATV and transferred it into iTunes. Now i can play everything directly from ATV via network. Wasn't that much of an effort via batch converting for video content. My music has already been in iTunes.

I have a 2008 iMac with Bootcamp 5.0 and I am trying to install windows 7 home premium 64 bit on it. How do I go about this?

I have been having trouble installing Windows 7 Home Premium on my 2008 iMac while using BootCamp. It has OS X Mavericks 10.9.1. Every time I try and use bootcamp I come across a blank black screen with a flashing white curser in the top left hand corner after it has restarted. If anyone knows a solution to this that would be great.

New iMac with Lion, crashes, constant sound and menus open/instantly close

Hi, I have a 4 days old iMac. This evening I was copying some files from an external HDD to the Mac´s internal. When I came back the screen was off, pressed the space bar to turn it on...and the sound it does when a file copy is complete sounds constantly, and I can´t open any menu (I click, it opens and it instantly closes).
Tried several restarts, erased the files I was copying, disconnected the external HDD. It stops a while, and then again.
Also, I tried to recover, I just can´t with the com+R combo, I guess the wireless keyboard does not work during the startup.
I bought a Mac to avoid this kind of problems...4 days, come on.

My recommendation is to take it back to Apple and allow then to fix it.
I suggest this so that Apple is aware of the problem now in case you have future problems with it.
Beside why should you be forced to mess around with a brand new machine.

Won't print through Window XP on iMac with Bootcamp

Installed Bootcamp and Windows. I can access Internet ok, but it won't print via wireless Airport. Try to print but nothing happens. Help!

I just purchased a new G5 iMac (PowerPC) with OS 10.4.4 installed. My problem seems to mirror yours, i.e. totally erratic printing of Web pages from Safari. Printing in other apps. seems fine (AppleWorks, etc.). My HP 6100 series printer doesn't have this problem when connected to an iBook OS 10.2.8. I downloaded the most recent software version on the HP website (7.7.2) assuming that there would be a properly functioning driver in this. No dice - still unable to print from Safari. HP online support site was dismissive; worse, I paid HP for tech help which vowed the download would work. The whole experience has been disheartening. Have you been able to get anywhere? Thanks.

When I try to install Windows on iMac with Bootcamp I get this message,"Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."

I try to get Windows 7 on my iMac 21.5-inch but on the Bootcamp Assistant I get this message,"Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server." Please help me and thank you.

I have that problem too. There's many other discussion threads as well. Either Apple doesn't realize they have a problem, or they do and simply don't care. Either way, not good.
There is a workaround that I'm going to try next. Go to this webpage:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
Scroll down to the middle of the webpage. Hit "Expand All". Now, search the webpage for the Apple product name of your computer. It should be something like "MacBook Pro, 17-inch, Early 2008". If you're unsure what you have, open "About This Mac" (upper left corner of your screen, Apple menu), and hit "More Info".
Now that you've found your computer, read across the table, to the version of Windows that you want to install (32-bit or 64-bit). Hopefully you'll find a "4" or "5" there. Click on that number, to go to the download page for the drivers that you need. If you just see an empty box there, then you're out of luck....
Hopefully there will be drivers. Download those, unzip, and then copy to a USB stick that has been formatted for MS-DOS FAT (or FAT32). Use Disk Utility to format your USB stick if necessary. Now, you have the drivers you should have gotten from the Boot Camp Assistant download. You should then be able to go back to Boot Camp Assistant and follow the instructions from there.
Hope it works!

I7 iMac with Bootcamp 3.1 and Windows7 64-bit won't resume from sleep

When I try to resume from sleep, by clicking the magic mouse button, the screen comes up and I can move the mouse around but the bluetooth keyboard does not work and I can't launch any programs. Have to use the rear button to force a power off and restart.
Is anyone able to resume from sleep okay and carry on using Windows 7? If so, any tips? Thanks in advance, very frustrating.

I don't have an iMac, and it seems those have some design "issues" to say the least. I'd say yes, motherboard and/or firmware (UEFI or SMC, or both) could be buggy and at fault.
Other than resetting SMC and running Apple Hardware Test, not sure what else or next to try.
I've seen a number of BIOS updates out in the last months for my PC motherboards that have definitely improved sleep, S3, hibernation - EVGA, Gigabytes, and Intel - all X58 vs P55 (Lynnfield Core i5/7 LGA 1156) the iMac uses.

First I switched to Windows Vista/7, then I switched to build-my-own and custom parts. Love the looks of iMac, came close at one point, but I prefer the specs, options, and configure for my own needs in hard drives, graphics over cool factors.
The iMac even in 2008 when it came with Penryn 64-bit processors never got 64-bit Vista/Boot Camp drivers, and that was why I didn't buy iMac back then, just lack of support I guess, and not seeing the market and need (for a good solid Windows desktop machine by Apple).

Screen print imac with bootcamp and windows 7 64 bit

I have a new 27" Imac i7. I have boot camp installed and windows 7 64 bit. I have auto-cad installed for college. There are several assignments that require a screen print to turn in. I have not been able to figure this out. I have been using the snipping tool, but in certain instances i need a menu drop down included in the screen print. With the snipping tool the menu goes away. I have looked for some ways to do a screen print while in windows, and have been unsuccessful. I have a wireless apple keyboard, the shorter one. The F keys are enabled to be used as the real F keys without using the fn key on the windows side. So when i hit F10 for example it is the real F10 function. Does anyone have any ideas?

I can get those keys to work if i make the keyboard use the shortcut keys that are listed on the top. For example, if i want to use the f10-f12 keys to control the volume without having to hit the fn key. If i set the keyboard up that way that key combo will work. But if i set up the keyboard to use the f keys really be f keys without hitting the fn key, it will not work. Would you know how to get it like that? I have tried just leaving the fn key out of that combo and it will not work.

Winxp sp3 with bootcamp mic's sound like alien!!! in MBP

when i use the microphone for chat its sound like alien slow down
can anyone know how to fix it plzzzzzzzzzzzz
it make me unbelivable in MAC so much worst!!

Hey, I had a thought, I don't know if it'll work and won't get the chance to find out until later tonight if I'm not too tired or until later tomorrow.
I think that if the IDT drivers aren't installed in the first place, perhaps the issue can be averted entirely. However, it's going to take a bit of knowledge to do and some patience. The partition will need to be remade entirely so that one may end up with a fresh operating system. When the SL disk is put into the computer, instead of running the full driver setup, pick the drivers directly off the disk by exploring its folders and only install the ones you need. Instead of using the IDT drivers, I believe the SL disk also has Realtek HD audio drivers (if I remember correctly from the last time I looked). My thought is that this manual method can prevent having to deal with the IDT drivers which I believe are part of the issue.
I understand that reinstalling XP is a process in itself, but this is the only solution I can think of. If manually installing doesnt work, my next move would be to use the drivers that come off the Leopard disk instead of the SL disk.
Like I said, this is just a thought I have so when I get to it later I'll let you know how it goes unless you decide to give it a try before me.

Left 4 Dead 2 with Bootcamp on iMac i7?

Anybody done a bootcamp install to play Left 4 Dead 2? Any benchmarks/framerates/experience you'd be willing to share?

I have run L4D2 on my imac with bootcamp. It really ran great I played L4D 1 all of time it looked great ran great. Steam updated something and L4D2 stopped working for a lot of people, hopefully they'll patch it soon. But it plays great sounds awesome. I dig it.
