Install Windows 8.1 in EFI mode

Hello everyone,
I'm experiencing a problem with my MacBook Pro that's about to drive me insane, I'm quite certain that it is possible to do, as I already had this working earlier. I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011 (meaning it originally came with an optical disc drive) with a 250GB SSD in the original hard drive bay and a 1TB HDD in the optical drive bay. On the HDD I have one big partition for storing huge files and such, on the SSD I have the System partition, and a Recovery partition. EFI System Partition is present on both disks. Now I am trying to install Windows 8.1 Full Version (x64) using an USB installation drive I created using the BootCamp assistant in EFI mode. This has worked before I replaced the optical disk drive with a second hard drive (in EFI mode aswell) using Windows 8. I'm booting the Windows Installer from the USB stick from the boot menu (holding the option key) and selecting the 'EFI Boot' option. The installer runs fine until I get to the partition setup. On the first try I found out that my disk had a hybrid MBR, so obviously the Windows Installer recognized my disk as an MBR disk. I converted the hybrid MBR to a protective MBR and restored the disk to a true GPT disk using gpt fdisk. After I did this I rebooted again and ran the installer. Now when I select the partition to install Windows on (it's a 55GB NTFS partition) and hit Next, it tells me that it failed creating or couldn't locate the system partitions. I'm sure when I did this with Windows 8 before, it created the necessary files on the already present EFI System Partition and didn't create any additional partitions. I believe there's something entirely wrong with my SSD's layout or that there might be something wrong with my EFI System Partition maybe?
I hope that someone has already successfully performed this action on their MacBook Pro that originally came with an optical disc drive and can help me out. Maybe someone can figure out what I'm doing wrong...
Thank you in advance.

A couple things... I've done this a couple times myself for different reasons on a Crucial drive with no ill effects.
The other thing is you're trying to put a 55 gig Windows partition on a drive that's already using 190 gig for OS X according to what the numbers are in your post. That leaves 5 gig on a 250 gig drive for temp files, which is going to cause problems.
Hope you find your solution.

Z77A-GD65 - Problems installing Windows 8.1 in UEFI mode

Hey guys.
I've got my new Samsung 840 Pro SSD today and I want to install Windows in UEFI.
So I got a 32GB USB Sandisk drive, I formatted it to FAT32 and used WinUSB maker to make it boot from a Windows 8.1 ISO file.
I went into BIOS and selected UEFI boot mode, and set UEFI: USB Hard Disk as the first boot option.
That didn't work so I tried UEFI: USB Key which did the same.
Unfortunately I'm not able to boot into the installation. I can only boot to the MSI UEFI Shell and I have no idea what to do from there.
I tried clicking F11 to get to the boot menu but I only have "UEFI Shell" and "Enter Setup" to choose from.
For some reason neither my USB drive or my Samsung 840 Pro are recognized in UEFI mode at the Boot menu.
I plugged in the USB drive to my laptop and verified that the file system is indeed FAT32 and not NTFS.
Maybe it's because I used WinUSB maker?
Please tell me what to do because I really want to install 8.1 in UEFI.
Thanks

I had this same problem with trying to install Windows 8.1 from the ISO I was able to download from MS. I eventually got the installer to work. Two ways to do this.
1. Set your BIOS boot option to Legacy + UEFI
2. Change your boot device to the legacy form of your USB flash drive
That should make it boot.
or
1. While at the shell command prompt
2. Shell> Fs0:
3. fs0:> \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI
Or type whatever the Flash device is labeled as
Hope this helps,
I have the Z87-GD65 mobo but I imagine the Z77 has a similar bios...

Installing Windows 8 without bootcamp (EFI)

It seems that Windows 8 supports EFI so I don't want to install it through bootcamp.
While installing WIndows 8 through DVD, at the final setup, error 'Windows cannot update boot configuration' arises.
Trying to repair, it says 'the drive is locked'.
Is there any way to solve this?

You still have to use Boot Camp or a virtual machine app to install Windows 8 - you can't just install it on the Mac OS X partition. If you want to use Windows 8 without using Boot Camp, try using Parallels 8 and create a virtual machine.

Installed windows 7 64 bit on my macbook .. but now got my macbook without audio. please help me!

Installed windows 7 64 bit on my macbook .. but now got my macbook without audio. please help me!

You most likely installed Windows 7 in EFI mode. Can you confirm this?
If you used Bootcamp Assistant to partition your drive, you did not install in EFI mode.
If you selected "EFI Boot" at the boot menu before installing Windows, you started the EFI Boot installer.
Please let us know whether or not you installed in EFI mode because audio not working is a common problem in EFI mode, but should not appear in normal BIOS mode. (Normal BIOS mode is when you used Bootcamp assistant)

I have 15" 2010 MacBook Pro running 10.6.8. I need to activate Bootcamp and install Windows 7. I ran software update. Does this update update Bootcamp? Or do I need to comb thru the 4 pages of updates and somehow determine which ones I need?

My goal is to activate Boot Camp and the install Windows 7 in 64 bit mode on my 15" MacBook Pro (mid 2010 model)
I have several questions:
1. I ran software update and am up to date. Does this mean that my yet to be activated Boot Camp ap is also up to date?
There are 4 confusing pages of updates listed at Apples website for Boot Camp. I am having a hard time understanding what I need and don't need. For example, what version of Boot Camp do I have? I have Boot Camp Assistant version 3.0.4. Does this mean I have Boot Camp ver 3?
2. The printed Boot Camp instructions do not explain the process of using downloaded Windows drivers; the instuctions only refer to drivers on the original disks. I have the original install disks from around mid 2010 but I am sure many things have been updated by now. Wouldn't the best idea be to download and install? But the instructions only cover using the original disks. How do I use downloaded drivers?

You have Mac OS X Snow Leopard, so you are going to use Boot Camp 3 on Windows. After installing Windows 7 on your MacBook, insert the Snow Leopard DVD and install the Boot Camp drivers from here. Then, as the Boot Camp drivers that your Snow Leopard disc contain are outdated, open Apple Software Update on Windows to install the most recent Boot Camp drivers.

On Snow Leopard, you can only download the Boot Camp drivers for the Late 2010 MacBook Air. On Lion and Mountain Lion, you have to download the Boot Camp drivers for all the computers. If you try to download the Boot Camp drivers on Snow Leopard with your computer, you will get a message telling that there aren't any drivers to download for your MacBook Pro

Installing windows Xp problem on S12

Hi everybody,
I have bought a nice Lenovo Ideapad S12 with Windows 7. I would like to install Windows Xp in dual boot mode.
I created a usb pendrive with Windows Xp, but after 20 seconds on boot I receive the blue screen with a message that says that windows is stopped to prevent computer damage!!
Note that the same usb pendrive, with windows Xp, goes well in another notebook; the installation of windows Xp goes on well !
Thanks for your support.
Bye.

hal.dll not found
if you get the hal.dll not found error message, start again
from your usb-drive and choose option 2 “gui-installation” which should work
now. (if option 2 doesn't work choose option 4 and “windows xp from hd” on the
next screen.) follow the installation process until you reach a usable windows
desktop. the error message is misleading, it's nothing wrong with your hal.dll
- your boot.ini has a corrupted entry which is easy to fix:
- search for boot.ini (normally it's located on c:\)
- open the boot.ini
- delete the line that referres to “windows-usb-boot” - it
should be the last line
- save & exit

Install Windows on partition of secondary HD; multiple users approach

Hi!
A couple of years ago I installed a SSD on my macbook pro (15", Mid 2010) and swapped the ODD with the original Toshiba HD + optibay caddy. So far it has worked great. Now I need to install a piece of ram-demanding windows only software, so I want to have a bootable windows install, no VMs.
I have spent some time googling and browsing forums and it seems it is possible to install bootable windows 7 or 8 on the secondary drive (HD + optibay), as per this thread. This is the procedure:
01) Opened the Macbook pro
02) Removed SSD from primary slot
03) Removed HDD from secondary Slot (Where The Original superdrive was)
04) Installed HDD on primary Slot
05) Installed Superdrive in its original slot
06) Installed Windows 7 with non-efi installation but through Bootcamp
07) Everything worked great!
08) Installed SSD in primary Slot
09) Installed HDD on secondary Slot
10) Removed Superdrive.
I am new to bootcamp, efi, GUID... I get most of the instructions it but I don't really get point 06. That's one thing I need to figure out.
Anyway, my question is not so much about the procedure, but it is a concept one. There are going to be two users and two OS in my MBP, so this is what I would like to achieve:
- SSD: Mac OSX for both users
- HD on optibay: two (?) partitions.
     partition 1 - Windows. Only User A will be using windows
     partition 2 - iTunes library. Both User A and B can access it. Windows can too.
                      - Storage for user A. Mac OSX (User A's session) and Windows can access it, so A can work with files in both OS, something like a NAS (?)
- Micro SD card + adapter on SD slot - Storage for User B
I don't know if this setup is possible. Maybe there should be a specific partition on HD for iTunes library. What I wouldn't like is User A having access to User B's files and viceversa. I don't know either if windows and mac could share the storage for User A, so there is no need to use a flash drive or dropbox to transfer files between OSs. Should I format HD to exFAT?
On top of it, I would like to add more ram to my MBP, up to 8GB. Should I do this before or after installing windows? Or it doesn't really matter?
As you can see, I have a lot of questions and haven't been able to find similar ones online, so I need to understand if this is possible, or what solutions are there to my requirements, and also some help to achieve it.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this, any help is really appreciated.

First af all, thanks a lot for all the time you are taking to answer. As you can see, maybe this is a little advanced for me but I am trying to learn
1. SSD (Part1 = OSX).
2. SSD (Part2 = Windows).
3. HDD (Single Part = iTunes). You have to choose whether this is OSX or Windows. The two OSes cannot share library formats, but can share content.
4. SD Card (UserA).
5. SD Card (UserB).
The problem is there isn't enough space on SSD to host both OSX and Windows, that's why I need to install Windows on HD. If only I had a bigger SSD...
Also, there's only a SD slot, so I'd rather have just one SD card and not have to be swapping cards depending on the user
In point 3, I don't get why it has to be either OSX or Windows. Can I just format it to a filesystem both OSes accept and use that HD partition as "external storage". I worked some time at a company that had both PCs and Macs and all the files where stored on a NAS any computer could access, read and write. I'm trying to achieve something like that (also for the files of user A, so I can work with them no matter which OS I'm using without having to use a flash drive or dropobox)
Would it be necessary to move the whole home directory? I've been also researching a bit on this and I don't know if some of the folders should stay on SSD (to harness performance).
Are these folders "shared' or walled off from each other's access?
I mean, maybe I would just move Downloads, Images, Music and Videos and leave the rest of the folders on the SSD
It seems you want "parental controls" of some sort on UserB.
Not exactly, but I am a little concerned about UserB messing up with UserA's files and viceversa. Or if an account gets hacked, every user's files could be at risk. I don't know, maybe I am just overthinking it. In the end the most important things I need to achieve are:
1. OSX on SSD for two users
2. Windows on HD
3. iTunes on HD for both users (for windows too would be a plus, but not essential)
4. UserA's storage on HD, accesible from both OSX and Windows
5. SD for extra storage for user B
I guess all the permissions thing may be too complicated to achieve and as you can see I am struggling with this already...
Again, thank you very much for all your help!

Efi Boot Problem after several failed attempt to install Windows 8

Hello, excuse me in advance for my bad English level!
I have a Macbook Pro 17" i7 2,2 Ghz (early 2011 OSX 10.9.4) equipped with a 750 Gb Samsung SSD and a Secondary 750 Gb Toshiba HHD mounted in place of the Original Laptop's DVD optical Drive.
I've tried several times to Install Windows 8.1 into the Secondary HHD Drive (USB KEY created with a Windows 8.1 Iso Image through the Bootcamp assistent) but without success. This is the message at the end of the Windows 8.1 installation process:
Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation. To install Windows, restart the installation.
I don't Know why and I Don't Know what to do... The problem seems to have no solution and I'm so frustrated!!! .
But Now I've Noticed, if the EFI Boot partition is selected during the macbook's startup process, this Error Message:
I've formatted the second HDD Hark Disk now and there should be no trace of Windows in my laptop so... why this message appears?
So I've Mounted the EFI boot Partition in OSX and that's It:
So...
1) Is There some file I Can safely delete to remove this Windows's error message?
2) Is It Normal that EFI Boot Partition appears during the Macbook Startup?
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP!

Hi,
Well from what I can see here you may have a hardware problem with the player. If it is not being recognised as a removable disk I would suggest if possible try it on another PC and see how it behaves. If there are no problems can you post some system details otherwise I'd either return to the dealer and they should swap it for you our contact customer support and they should be able to assist.
In answer to your question holding down the play pause button while inserting the device into the port starts it in recovery mode and you should a be able to recover from there but as the unit is behaving so badly I'd gof for my former diagnosis.
Hope this helps,
John

I had tried installing windows 8.1 pro with many different solutions like using Bootcamp or using gdisk part and upgrading the disk part from hybrid to EFI also tried Using Lenevo external Optical drive which doesnt worked my internal drive is damage

I Am fed up after getting error after errors on the installation of windows 8.1 in my late 2011 MBP 15" 750 GB HDD and OSX Yosemite 10.10.2 and i am trying to install windows 8 or 7 and the error doent go away also i tried various other methods like gdisk part to make next button appear and Afte next button appear i am getting the error after the check list is done
please someone help me out i am getting paranoid in this and i am going to be a threat to society because its making me insane.

1. You cannot use the Lenovo external drive, because you already have a built-in SuperDrive. Get your internal drive fixed.
2. Your Mac does not support EFI Boot, because it is a PreUEFI model based on How to identify MacBook Pro models - Apple Support and the following list. If you force it with EFI boot, some of your hardware GPU/Audio will not work properly.

Mid 2010 iMac upgraded SSD, can't seem to install windows via bootcamp. Windows can't be installed on this storage device. The chosen harddisk contains a MBR-partition-table. Windows can only be installed on GPT-harddisks on EFI-systems error

I have windows 8.1 on DVD & on USB CF Reader/Card. I've followed the full steps in bootcamp, but when it restarts and its time to select the bootcamp partition to install windows (after alt rebooting to the efi startup) I get the "Windows can't be installed on this storage device. The chosen harddisk contains a MBR-partition-table. Windows can only be installed on GPT-harddisks on EFI-systems" error.
I've scoured the internet trying different solutions that seem to work for everyone else, but to no avail. I've reformatted from that screen, doesn't help. I've removed bootcamp partition and manually partitioned using disk util, leaving it empty once partition-wise, and filling it with a blank partition the second time. I've done a full back up and clean re-install of Yosemite, and nothing seems to be working.
Thats when I switched to DVD install, as I heard sometimes you can't install with a CF card. When I alt-boot, I can see EFI-windows and windows, but if I select EFI-windows, same problem as before, and if I select windows, I get the black screen of "no bootable device please insert boot disk and press any key."
I've been stuck w/o bootcamp for over 2 years now. Anyone, please help?
Mid 2010 iMac running 256gb SSD, Yosemite 10.10.1 trying to install windows 8.1

I am having the same problem. Windows is trying to install. It identifies the various partitions but says that I cannot install Windows on the Boot Camp partition or any other. I select Drive options (advanced) and Format the Boot Camp drive, but it makes no difference.
This is the Windows error:
Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks.
Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer BIOS menu.
I am not sure what Csound1 is suggesting with that post above. There are some involved suggestions over here <https://discussions.apple.com/message/23548999#23548999> about using Disk Utility to delete the Boot Camp partition and create new ones - is that the idea?

Cannot Install Windows 7 with AHCI mode

Hello,
Having just submitted a support ticket to MSI, I was curious to see if anyone else has experienced a similar issue or may be able to suggest a possible resolution.
I recently purchased a MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate for an htpc build.
I've ran into an issue of not being able to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit onto my ANY SATA 3 hard drive with SATA mode - AHCI enabled in bios.
Main parts for the build are:
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate
CPU: Intel Core i3-4130 3.4 3 FCLGA 1150
RAM: G.SKILL Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
PSU: Corsair Builder Series CX 600
OS HD: Crucial M500 SSD
During Windows install and selecting the SSD in which to install windows onto..
Windows will prompt with: “Windows cannot be installed to Disk x Partition x. (Show details)
Afterwards, I’ll select ‘Load driver’ and select the “Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver for 8x series,” provided by MSI drivers download page. Confirmed as a valid driver for the SATA AHCI controller.
"Select the driver to be installed" lists: “Intel(r) 8 Series/C220 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller” Looks good, then progress...
Followed by clicking on next- “Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the setup log files for more information.”
I've tried installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit via USB drive and OEM disc to no avail.
Performed a test using the same install procedure with my primary desktop computer which uses a MSI z68A-GD65 (G3) motherboard (AHCI enabled.) I was able to install windows to my Crucial M500 SSD without issue.
Confirmed the issue occurs while testing with different hard drives. I have yet to be able to install windows with AHCI enabled on this motherboard.
HDDs tested include:
WD Black WD5002AALX 500GB
Seagate ST3100524AS 1TB
Once I change SATA mode from AHCI to IDE, I was able to install windows without the need of pre-loading the Intel 8 Series SATA/AHCI driver.
Afterwards having installed windows, I decided to test by switching SATA mode back to AHCI. Doing so will cause the machine to bsod upon booting to windows. Later, I performed the registry edit to change IDE to AHCI mode within windows. Followed by again enabling AHCI in bios.
I was able to boot while in AHCI mode temporarily a couple of times until this method stopped working. Any attempt past the bios post, windows will not boot.
I've also tested the manual and XMP profile RAM settings as suggested by the sticky'd thread here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=178019.0
I would like to possibly resolve the issue in regards to utilizing AHCI mode for optimal performance for my hard drives and hot swap capability.
When I have more time, I suppose I can run a RAM test; but so far I simply believe it may just be a SATA controller or driver conflict with the motherboard.
tl;dr Cannot install Windows 7 onto any hard drive with AHCI enabled. Works fine with IDE mode.

** Update as of 6/3/2014 ** Issue resolved.
Received my replacement motherboard from RMA. Replacement is working without any issues with SATA mode set to AHCI.
Tested by running Windows 7 and Windows 8 install - both detected my SATA SSD and other HDDs as applicable drives to install Windows onto. Pre-loading the SATA controller drivers was not necessary. Windows boots up immediately without any delay now. Benchmarks are showing valid stats for SATA3 devices.
Also to note, the replacement motherboard came with bios version 1.5, compared the one I sent back which came with 1.6. In case if that had anything to do with it. Not going to risk updating the bios at this point.

Failure to install Windows XP Mode under Win7

After (apparently successful) installation of 500-megabyte "Windows XP Mode," installation of 10-megabyte "Windows Virtual PC," after reboot, reports "Failure configuring Windows updates / Reverting changes." Event viewer shows "Package
KB958559 failed to be changed to the Installed state. Status: 0x80004005." (Naturally, no WinXPMode is available on the Start menu.)
Running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on a Sony Vaio Z93 (3 gHz, 8G, 2x256G SSD).
Internet search produced: a) One user reported that uninstalling McAfee solved a similar problem, but I have no McAfee products installed. b) Another user reported that a problem could be too many "network filters," but I don't know how to "fix" that--it's
true that I have at least five NICs (802.3, 802.11x, Bluetooth, 3G, OpenVPN) but I use them all. c) Another user reported the problem could be corrupted registry entries but I'm not sure how to check that.
Suggestions welcome ... Thanks!

Hi,
I would like to suggest you perform the following steps to install Windows XP Mode.
1.
Update the BIOS from the manufacturer
2.
Install the
System Update Readiness Tool for Windows 7
3.
Temporarily uninstall the third party antivirus program and firewall
4.
Boot into
Clean Boot
5.
Download and install
Windows XP Mode, Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode update manually
Does it work?

Installing Windows 7 on a MBP in clamp mode

Hi - my MBP screen is broken so I use an external monitor all the time - as in Clamp mode.
I'm trying to install Windows 7 on a MBP 10.8.2 Intel 2.85 Duo.
Bootcamp partitions the drive, then the computer restarts - but nothing happens - no output to the monitor.
Is there any way to install W7 on a MBP using an external monitor only?
Thanks for any help.
