Insert your Windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for the disc to be recognized.

Have decided to un-install Parallels as this was slowing my machine down... Windows was working fine until I uninstalled Parallels.. now I can't even get Boot Camp to recognise my Windows Disc.. .iso file (which is on a formatted FAT USB drive Touro 1Tb)... if I click on setup.exe directly from Finder.. I keep getting "You can’t open the application “setup.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X."
I've tried uploading bootcamp5 but that doesn't work either.
the screenshots shown in all the manuals don't even look the same as the instructions on my screen..
where do i go from here.?

I would suggest that you watch
some of the youtube step by step guides
installing windows 7 in bootcamp
but installing windows in bootcamp is a bit more tricky then making a clean install of a windows on a non apple computer
and making a full clean install on a non apple computer is not really for everybody

  • I have a Window 8.1 and there's no update for the New Windows 10

    Dear Microsoft.
    I'm From The Middle East, I have a windows 8.1, and saw that there is a new update in Windows site, I followed by steps to Download it and I examined the updates but I don't have a new update to the Windows 10.

    Mahmoud Al-Daher,
    Forget about getting Win 10 via Windows Update. You can download the Build 10041 ISO from this Official download site:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/preview-iso-update-1503
    Make sure you select the correct bit version, i.e. 32-bit or 64-bit. Language is your choice.
    Once you have the ISO downloaded and saved to your computer, you have 2 options :
    1. Burn the ISO to a bootable DVD or a USB with at least 4GB of capacity. Then you can use it to do a clean install.
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/windows-usb-dvd-download-tool
    2. You can just go to the location where the ISO file is stored > right
    click at it > click Mount > click Setup.exe.
    The system will start installing.
    After you have build 10041 installed and you have set to Fast ring, you will be offered the latest build 10049.
    NOTE : Before you do one of the above, I would suggest that you do NOT install Win 10 TP over your Win 8.1. It would be better if you selected one of the following methods of installing Win 10 TP:
    1. Dual boot Win 8.1 and Win 10 TP.
    2. Install Win 10 TP on a virtual machine.
    The advantage of the above 2 methods is that you have 2 operating systems in your computer. You can choose which one to use any time. If you dislike Win 10 TP, you can simply remove it with couple of clicks. It's that simple to remove, and you have your Win
    8.1 like nothing has ever happened.

  • After my windows 7 computer did automatic updates, everytime I click on a link I get a not responding message and have to wait almost a minute for the program to continue.

    Last night, my computer running Windows 7 premium home edition downloaded some automatic updates. I came in this morning to find that it had done a restart after adding these updates.
    Now, anytime I click a link or do something which requires a redirect to another web page, my program gives me the not responding message and I have to wait 30-55 seconds for the program to continue.
    I have Firefox 4 and it was running smoothly up until this morning, so I can only assume that whatever the automatic updates were, there is something in them that is causing this error. I do not know what updates were installed.

    I don't have that problem in Firefox 29 when I read Gmail or AOL (aim''.''com) webmail. When I click on a webpage link in an email I'm reading (example: http://www.tworivertheater.org/ ) the link opens in a separate Firefox tab.
    Are you saying this doesn't happen in outlook''.''com webmail and the link opens in the same Firefox tab as the email itself? I don't use outlook''.''com webmail myself. Hopefully someone will be along who does, or see [[Problems with email and how to find help]].
    It might help if you would confirm the type of link that is opening in the same tab as the email you are reading in your outlook webmail. If I misunderstood your problem, please explain it better.
    It might also help if you could furhish more troubleshooting information. Please do the following:
    *'''For Firefox 29.0 and above''': Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
    Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    *At the top of the page, you should see a button that says "Copy text to clipboard". Click it.
    *Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.

  • I have windows 7 and have been using Firefox for the last several months and now I can' open it up for some reason.

    I've been using firefox as my principle browser for quite some time. I normally just click on it once and it opens to the home page with google search in the middle of the page. I downloaded some e-mail attachment about a job and that's when it seemed to act up. I ran a scan on my computer and it says there is no problems but I still can't open up Firefox home page by clicking on the fox/world icon.

    I am using FF 19.0.2. I have multiple gmail accounts. One of them continually disconnects and reconnects every 5 to 10 seconds. It only happens with the one account. It only happens in Firefox. I am using Windows 7 64 bit.

  • Bootcamp won't recognize USB with ISO, nor Windows Installer Disc

    I have been wanting to install Windows on a seperate partition through Bootcamp. To do this i have both created an ISO, and have a Windows Installation disc. However, when i open bootcamp the following two problems occur:
    The option to use an .iso on a USB, is faded and I am unable to use it.
    I therefore choose to install via a disc, this goes fine right until the point where i choose partition size. Upon choosing the size i want to partition and clicking next, Bootcamp brings up an error saying that I must insert the windows installer disc and wait some seconds. However IT IS INSERTED! I have tried mounting the .iso as well, nothing seems to work.
    Is there anyway to get bootcamp to partition without it having to find my windows installer disc? I am certain that there is nothing wrong with the windows iso, nor disc, so i really just want it to work...
    I am running Lion on a Macbook Pro 13 2011, Bootcamp 4.0

    Hey, finally found the solution.
    The problem wasn't burn speed, but rather the OS i used to burn with, meaning that windows apparently wasn't even capable of burning a disc correctly. I transfered the ISO to my Macbook and mounted it, I then used disc utilities to burn it to a disc and VOILA! Everything worked smoothly!

  • Here's How to Repair your Windows Installation

    Sometimes it is necessary or desirable to repair your Windows installation.  For instance, you might see Windows showing unusual or unexplained slowdowns, failures to boot, devices no longer working like they used to, etc.
    The following step by step procedure shows you how to do the repair.  Note, that you will need the CD key that came with your Windows disk to complete this procedure.
    1.  Make sure boot order in BIOS is set to floppy (if you have one), cd/dvd, and then the HDD your original Windows was installed on.
    2.  Insert your original Windows CD into your cd/dvd drive (a slipstreamed cd with SP will also workif you have one).  If the Windows Installion menu appears, select Install Windows.
    3.  If that menu does not appear, go to Start, Turn Off Computer, and then select Restart.  After the POST, you will see a prompt, "Press any key to boot from cd..."
    so press the space key (any other key will also work).
    4.  Let Windows setup continue.
    5.  After a short while you will see an option to repair your Windows using the Recovery Console.  Do NOT select this option.  Just continue.
    6.  Soon after this you will see a message "Searching for a previous Windows Installation".
    7.  When Setup finds your previous Windows installion you will be given an option to Repair that installation.  Follow the prompt on the screen, i.e, press R to repair.
    8.  Now just let setup continue until it is complete and you see your desktop.
    9.  Then, go to Windows Update (Start, All Programs, Windows Update) and let it search for and install any available service packs, and/or other updates.
    10. Lastly, if you have any drivers that are wish to use other than the ones in Windows, just install them in the normal fashion.
    Now your Windows is repaired and fully updated, and hopefully the problems you saw previously have been fixed.

    Thanks Bosskiller.
    It seems everytime I do a fresh install I have trouble getting my cable internet going again.
    I always seem to forget which files I need to download for the mobo to have access to that.  ???
    pickup drivers from here: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=436&kind=1
    what OS you use?
    "It seems everytime I do a fresh install I have trouble getting my cable internet going again."
    where its connected via ethernet port or via USB port? if you connect it through on-board LAN you need to install chipset drivers 1st. if you connect it via USB port ensure your OS installation is with included SP2 on it if its XP. then install chipset drivers as well.
    if you use 98 install USB 2.0 drivers 1st,(http://download.msi.com.tw/support/dvr_exe/mbd_dvr/USB2W9XME009.zip) before install cable modem.

  • Where do I get a Windows Installation Disc?

    My Toshiba Satellite C655 laptop stopped working after only 7 months of use.  I got it from Fry's and they never told me that their 1 year warranty meant I had to ship the computer to Toshiba and have to pay $25 on my credit card and wait 3 weeks or more to get it back.  So, anyways how do I get a Windows Installation Disc?  That is what the error message says I need.

    See the section Recovering the Internal Storage Drive, which begins on p. 59 of the User's Guide.

    Always tell us which Satellite C655 you have when you post here. There is a label on the bottom.

  • How to download a windows installation disc for pavilion dv7-6b78us

    After F11, try to restore system, my screen asking for Windows installation discs. I don't have. How could I download one. cant find it from HP support yet.

    Hi:
    You cannot download recovery disks. They must be purchased from HP.
    You can read the info at the link below on how to do that.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bph07143&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    You can however, download and make your own plain Windows 7 installation DVD if you can read the 25 character Windows 7 product key on the bottom of your PC.
    Here's how:
    If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
    Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
    Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
    The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
    Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
    Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.

    I keep getting the following error message when I try to update my itunes, "There is a problem with this windows installer package. Aprogram run as part of the set up did not finish as expected.  Contact your support personnel or package vendor."

    Yes, I had found a similar solution also.  I'm running XP Pro, SP3.  I went Control Panels/ Add-Remove programmes/apple software update/ change/ repair.  Then run the 10.5 exe.
    While the programme updated from version 8 of iTunes, my new iTunes is now a mess.  Not all of my music was in the same folder previously but it all showed up on iTunes.  Now many albums have been left out, some have only a few tracks and some have two copies of some tracks as well as having other tracks missing.  I haven't begun to work on that.
