  • Can't Install Boot Camp 3.0 on 64-bit Windows 7 system

    I have 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate running on HD#2 on a Mac Pro 2,1 system (2006). I've installed the Boot Camp 2.0 drivers after I installed Windows, I forget why I needed them, maybe for an old Apple keyboard.
    Anyway, I can't install Boot Camp 3.0 from the Snow Leopard DVD - the installation runs to completion, but generates various error messages, one of which says that Boot Camp 3.0 64-bit can't be installed on this system.
    I really need 3.1 now because my Magic Mouse won't work, and I can't sync Mobile Me.
    Is there a fix or a workaround to upgrade Boot Camp on this system? Should I use Windows Uninstall to get rid of Boot Camp 2.0 first?
    If it matters, Windows 7 is the upgrade version from Vista Ultimate.

    http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    Click on "Downloads", (underneath the big hard drive icon), scroll down a bit and there is a link for "Boot Camp:Upgrading to Windows 7" and another link for Version 3.1 which you need for 64 bit to work right after 10.6.4(?). I would just try downloading the Boot Camp 64bit 3.1 file and try that first if you already have Window's 64 bit installed.
    Don't forget you need a WIRED keyboard AND mouse if you need to reinstall Window's.
    Here's another link that is all over the place on which machines and which Windows works and what doesn't...

  • Can't Install Boot Camp from Snow Leopard DVD in Windows 7

    I have an iMac "Core 2 Duo" 3.06 24-inc (08) running 10.6.2 and Windows 7.
    I was able to successfully use the Boot Camp Assistant to partition and install Windows 7 on my iMac. After the installation, I was able to download updates from Windows Updates which included video drivers.
    However, when I inserted my Snow Leopard DVD to install Boot Camp 3.0, the Setup.exe only gave me two options: To Install Mac OS X remotely and to install CD/DVD Sharing. I was not presented any options to install Boot Camp.
    I did manually navigate the Snow Leopard DVD and found a Boot Camp directory with its own setup.exe and when I clicked on it, it gave me an Installation Error stating "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model". I did some research and I found no mention of my iMac listed as an unsupported model.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    When I inserted Snow Leopard DVD, the autorun didn't show me an option to install Boot Camp Drivers. Just like the author of this topic, it only showed me 2 options: to Install Mac OS X remotely and to install CD/DVD Sharing.
    Then, I've run Windows Explorer, navigated to Snow Leopard DVD, opened Boot Camp folder and runned "setup.exe". The installer opened and Boot Camp 3.0 was installed successfully.
    I don't know if it could help you guys with that error message, but after the installation of Windows 7 64bits, I've rebooted my Macbook Pro. Only after the reboot I did the Boot Camp Drivers installation.
    You can also try to run the "setup.exe" as Administrator (right-click, Run as administrator).
    Also, my Snow Leopard DVD is that grey one with the white "Mac OS X Install DVD" labelled on it.

  • Can i use pen drive to install boot camp on my mac?

    Can i use usb pen drive to install boot camp on my mac?

    No. Windows cannot boot from nor be installed on an external drive. That said, in the Windows world there are ways to put a bootable Windows installer on a flash drive. But you will have to find those on your own.

  • Install Boot Camp on 3rd drive (3TB)?

    I just installed a new 3TB drive in my early 2008 Mac Pro, which is runing ML.  I would like to use Boot Camp to install Windows 7 on a 300 GB partition on that new drive and to have it bootable.  I would like to retain the rest of the drive for use in OS X.  Is this possible?
    Also, it says the following in the "...problems creating a partition" section of Boot Camp Installation manual:
    If you have a Mac Pro with more than one internal disk and you want to install Boot Camp on a disk that isn’t in the first hard drive bay, remove the drives in the lower- numbered bays. You can reinstall the drives after you install Boot Camp
    Given that Boot Camp Assistant is running in OS X & OS X is on the 1st drive, then at what point would I remove the 1st & 2nd drives?
    Thanks,
    Bev in TX

    Okay, after rereading a number of messages in this forum, I think that I finally understand what is going on.  Namely, if I want to install MS Windows 7 on a drive other than #1, then I would:
    Temporarily remove all other drives.
    Install MS Windows 7 using the installation media (DVD).
    Install Boot Camp drivers that were previously saved on a USB flash drive or DVD.
    Shut down Windows.
    Reinsert the other drives.
    I have an older 300 GB data drive (#2), which I could:
    Move the data from this drive to the new 3TB drive.
    Install Windows as above.
    Is this correct?
    Thanks,
    Bev in TX

  • Can I install boot camp on new startup drive?

    I find I have to use Windows to administer a Network Solutions
    hosted and built website. They claim to support Mac OS but
    there are issues and they tell me that Internet Explorer is the
    more reliable browser to use. So I'm wondering if I should
    replace my primary drive with a new one and install Boot
    Camp. Is this a workable solution? Should I consider one
    of the virtualization programs?
    Tom

    I would suggest trying a VM first, and I would suggest using VirtualBox (as it is free), it will work but with a slight performance hit. If the hit is more than you can stand go the Boot Camp route.

  • I messed up while installing Boot Camp and now I can't restore my drive to a single partition.

    Hey all, I have a late 2013 iMac on 10.9.4. Just got it a few days ago and tried to install my copy of 8.1 on it.
    After taking a while to create a bootable USB disk, I partitioned ~470GBs through Boot Camp Assistant to use as a Windows partition. Long story short, during my install, I ran into some problems while choosing the drive to install Windows onto. Now I remember when installing Windows 7 on my MBP, deleting the partition and reformatting did the trick, so I tried that. Windows gave me a prompt saying it will create new partitions for system files. I didn't think much of it, so I said sure. After all that, still ran into some problems.
    Was about to give up to I rebooted into OSX to restore my drive, but was met with this error:
    I checked my disk utility and I had 2 extra partitions--disk 1s4 and 1s5 or something similar. Managed to get rid of one, but the other one was impossible to get rid of, despite my efforts. Now I have my main partition, a disk1s4 partition I can't get rid off, and and 478.09GBs of free space that I can't get back at the moment.
    So. I messed up. What are my options now?
    Here's what it says in diskutil list:
    Thanks guys, any help is appreciated.

    I tried to restore the previous session as I've done so several times before, but I was not given the option. It simply did not show up on my browser history. I also tried to restore a previous version of the sessionstore file, but it did not do anything except erase my browser history from the restoration point. Also, after i restored the sessionstore file, the ability to see my "ghost" tabs that were open is now gone, so I assume it's lost forever. I deleted the sessionstore file before restoring it, and put it back into the folder, but that did not restore my history. What am I doing wrong?

  • Fresh install and preserve boot camp drive?

    I have an older 2007 MacPro (2 dual core CPUs @ 3Ghz) that has the following...
    MacPro Internals:
    Mac HD drive = 500GB (Bay 1)
    Mac RAID drive = 500GB (Bay 2) + 500GB (Bay 3)
    Windows drive = 320GB (Bay 4) - boot camp drive with Vista 64
    ATI 3870 HD Video
    BlackMagic Designs Intensity Pro
    2nd Firewire card
    External devices:
    Motu Ultralite FW Audio interface
    Mackie Control Surface
    M-Audio AXIOM 25 MIDI keyboard
    LG Blu-Ray eSATA Burner
    30" Mac HD monitor
    24" Dell Monitor
    42" HD TV
    15" SD TV
    Oki C5800L color laser printer
    Software on my MacPro:
    iWorks and iLife 09
    Final Cut Studio 3
    Logic Pro 9
    Adobe CS4 Extended
    FX Factory
    Flip4Mac Studio Pro HD
    QuickTime Pro (purchased version)
    I'd like to do a clean install of SL. The reason I want to do a fresh install is that when I went from Tiger to Leopard (2007 MacPro) vs. Leopard pre-installed new (on my 2008 iMac), there are indeed some difference -- specifically different Leopard driver support that appeared on a fresh install iMac, but not when "upgrading" on my MacPro (printer drivers for example).
    My hunch is that SL will detect existing drivers and NOT upgrade them to the SL version -- which may or may not be a good thing especially if the SL version drivers are 64bit while my L version drivers are 32bit. So the end result with going the "upgrade" route will be a mixed bag of 32bit and 64bit drivers. I'm pretty sure this is NOT gonna be a good situation if I ran the "upgrade" rather than a fresh install.
    However, it's CRITICAL that I not lose my Windows Drive (Boot camp) with Vista 64 on it. This is a separate physical drive (Bay 4) but if I do a fresh install of SL, will the installer recognize I have a Boot camp drive and will it still allow dual boot using option key at startup (showing my the Mac or Windows drive to boot to)?
    Rob.

    Hi Rob,
    Sorry been out of the country
    Yes you are correct the EFI Looks after the booting of OS's from any hard drive.
    if you hold down the alt key while booting it will give you a list of drives it thinks it can boot from.
    In theory any windows volume with XP SP2 or newer should boot (+though if not installed on the same hardware originally is will complain about divers & if more than 15% of the hardware has change windows sometimes needs to be reactivated+)
    I run multiple systems at my office using the same multi hard drive setup you have and have never had any problems changing / updating the Mac HD while leaving the Windows HD fully intact.

  • Can you install Boot Camp on a Pegasus2 Logical Drive?

    Trying to plan my upgrade to the new Mac Pros and I'm wondering whether it's possible to install Boot Camp on a logical drive located on a Promise Pegasus2 Thunderbolt enclosure? Ideally I'd be setting up a series of logical drives on a Pegasus2 (2 to duplicate existing drives in my current Mac Pro, 1 for Time Machine, and 1 for Boot Camp) but I can't seem to find out whether Boot Camp partitions are supported...

    I too would like to install a bootcamp partition on an SD card so that I will not loose a huge chuck of my internal drive to Windows, a system I need very rarely (this is important for all users of SSHDs, where internal storage space is precious).
    If it is not possible to create a bootcamp partition on an external SD card, how about installing Lion first on that SD card, booting from the SD card, and then creating the bootcamp partition on that card. I would think that Lion's disk utility would consider the SD card as the internal disk, and so should make the partition and allow the installation. Large fast SD cards are not cheap, but I would think that this would be an option for those of us with limited internal storage space.
    Has anybody tried this option?

  • Installing boot camp on a second drive

    Hi All,
    First let me apologize for this long-winded post and also for my lack of basic knowledge when it comes to mac computer skills.
    I would like to install windows 7 on a brand new 500gb drive in a brand new mac pro.
    I was reading through the installation & setup up guide for boot camp and was stonewalled on page 6 it says;
    “If your computer has more than one internal disk and you want to install Boot Camp on a disk that isn’t in the first hard drive bay, remove the drives in the lower numbered bays. You can reinstall the drives after you install Boot Camp.”
    Ok that makes sense but if I remove the first drive how do I install boot camp since the first drive contains boot camp on it?
    The next question I have is; Can I make the whole 500gb drive one partition that will have boot camp, windows 7 and all the windows files on it or does it have to have just boot camp and windows 7?
    Thanks
    Mike

    Shutdown - pull OS X drive(s) - continue with install.
    You'll have to change to NTFS when you get to where to install.
    At that point you can even format or partition.
    As for the Assistant, well, some install Windows 7 on a drive without it (that can't be done with XP) and just leave one drive and boot from Win 7 DVD.
    "that will have boot camp...."
    There IS NO "boot camp." The assistant modified the partition table to include a standard MBR for booting Windows. And that would be on the #2 500GB.
    Until you install the Apple setup.exe drivers and services after Windows is installed from your OS X DVD, there is nothing in or on Windows that is faintly about boot camp. Unfortunate term. It also gets to become a control panel in Windows to change the default startup OS (why not call it Apple OS Switcher / Apple Startup Disk).
    There will be AppleTimeServices and AppleOSSwitcher services along with HAL and device drivers to enable them in Device Manager.
    As for lowered numbered and first drive bay, they must think Mac Pro owners are locked into and only boot from drive bay #1. and that Assistant is a very limited not very smart partitioning tool is true.
    So run Assistant but instead of restarting with the DVD and install, just shutdown. Pull all the other drives but 500GB. Then boot off the DVD.

  • Does anyone know what the partitions look like after installing boot camp on a 3T fusion drive

    I installed a boot camp partition on a 3T fusion drive.  Running disk utility afterward it looks like this.
    Is this what it should look like?  I understand about the need for bootcamp to create 2 physical drives in core storage in order to install boot camp on a 3T fusion drive but should I see both drives after it is done?

  • Can I dual boot snow leopard and mountain lion if I've installed boot camp on my drive

    Can I dual boot snow leopard and mountain lion if I've installed boot camp on my drive

    Yes as I said before. If your model Mac came with Snow Leopard and you are now running Mt Lion and have Windows installed in a Boot Camp Partition all you have to do is make the Mt Lion partition smaller, take the free space and make it another Mac partition and you should be able to install Snow Leopard into that partition.
    I have Snow Leopard, Lion and Mt Lion installed on my MBP. No Windows in a Boot Camp partition because I run Windows XP in a Virtual Machine on both Lion and Mt Lion.
