Installing windows 7 osx Lion 10.7

Hie,
I'm having trouble installing Windows 7 Pro on a MacBook Pro (Intel 2009). First steps works great to 94% of unpackaging Windows files....
Then nothing, it's locked at this step.
The iso file is working great, i can install Seven in VMware but not via Boot Camp....
Any idea?
Thanks a lot
JC

Give a good reason why? because you tried and got an error message and don't understand it? because you don't have backup plan then you should take care of that.
The forum is littered with those that tried, some good knowledgable folks.
If your intent is to have 'extra' partitions, that can cause trouble and more complex.

I'm going to install SSD in my Macbook pro, how do I install for example OSX Lion? I dont have any CD as far as I know.

Ideally, you should clone your HD as Bimmer 7 Series explains.
However, if your computer originally shipped with Lion or Mountain Lion, a clone is not necessary to merely reinstall OS X. OS X Internet Recovery will create a recovery partition, download the installer package, and install it on a completely empty SSD or HD.
Even if your computer shipped with Snow Leopard, it may be eligible to download a firmware update that creates the same ability: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4904

I have recently installed the new OSX Lion on my 2009 MacBook. Now I cannot get access to my Windows-Partition, which is on the harddisk. I cannot choose to boot from LION OSX or Windows. Who can help?

I have recently upgraded my MacBook to OSX Lion. Now I cannot get access to my windows-partition. I cannot choose booting from OSX Lion or Windows. Who can help???

I believe that Lion and Mountian Lion use BootCamp 4.0 and earlier versions used 3.0. I don't use BootCamp but from reading The link below you need to get new drivers, burn a cd and install. Check out #20 on this page.

How can i run windows on osx lion

Hi, some programs don't run anymore on osx lion. So I would like to install windows. How do I need to proceed?
Thanks, Franklin

... don't run anymore
Upgrade when possible.
Downgrade back.
Dual boot 10.6 or even 10.5 (as old as your Mac came with) and Lion -
You can even have a Mac HFS data partition.
Instead of dual booting Windows.
Depends on what. You didn't mention. Or whether they are Windows alternatives that have to run natively. Or could be run in a VM guest OS - but have to share RAM and processor resource, which may not be feasible or run well enough.
Apps incompatible with OS X Lion
keep Snow Leopard when upgrading to Lion

Installing Windows XP on Lion using external DVD drive

Hi, this is my first time posting on a forum at all, so just keep that in mind when dealing with me.
I have recently attempted to install Windows XP by partitioning my drive using the disk utility (seeing as Bootcamp no longer supports Windows XP installations). The problems start when I boot from the installation disk; an error "no bootable device - insert boot disk and press any key" occurs. I am inclined to believe that this is due to me using an external DVD drive when doing all of this. I am using an external DVD drive because my internal DVD drive has been spoilt and is no longer useable.
Does anyone have a solution for me? It seems that it is not possible to install windows using an external DVD drive.

I am doing this after doing a full wipe of my hard drive and reinstalling lion.
Previously, I had lion, and made a partition using disk utility and booted from the disk (this time it was from my Mac's SuperDrive which was functioning perfectly at this point in time) and finished the installation completely fine. I then used the drivers that were in my Snow Leopard DVD (I have a Snow Leopard DVD from a previous Mac I purchased).
The only difference between then and now is that I am using an external DVD drive.

Installing windows xp on lion

Hello,
I have a 13" macbook pro 2011 with lion. I would like to install windows xp because I have a twidosoft program that is not compatable with windows 7, and according to the software company, it will never be compatable. I've tried windows 7 with the xp mode and virtual pc and it does not work. The program uses a usb cable that connects to a plc to communicate and edit or install new programs. I will partition 20-25 gigs for xp, software and the codes. I understand that Lion does not support xp but if I have to use parallels or vmware, by doing this will it let me use my usb cable to communicate with the plc.
I prefer to use bootcamp, I would only use the xp side to do this and the OS side for everything else.
Thank You for any help.

I have WIN XP and WIN 7 installed on my MBP with PARALLELS.
Both are working great even if I don't like them anymore.......
I can use all my old programs and all my accessories via USB.
When you try MAC OS yo can't switch bac to winzozz

Can I install windows xp with lion OS or I should install windows 7?

I'm going to install Windows XP via bootcamp on my mac, but according to the guide I need Windows 7.

Oh joy. I just deleted my old bootcamp partition to re-create it and it wont do it.
I've been running Xp on a BC partition for a few years on my 28"iMac and it ran fine til recently.
I re-installed windows but was a bit flaky and I tried to restore an old copy that made it unbootable.
But now I am unable to re-create a bootcamp partition bevause I have updated to Lion.
Really wish I hadn't. Seems sluggish, full screen is broken and now this.
So windows will have to wait until I can afford Windows7 just for a game, a simulator and a few apps
for some RC Heli electrics.
Is there no way to get bootcamp to JUST create the partition? I know XP works on his machine!!

Installing Windows 7 on Lion via Bootcamp, problems.

Hello there,
After a while i finally decided to install Windows7 on a partition on my Macbook Pro.
I updated SL to Lion, dowloaded the Windows support software and putted it on a Extrenal HD.
But i have a problem: i don't have Windows7 on a CD, since Windows is often pre-installed on PC's these days.
Which means i don't have Windows7 on a CD, but i do have a legal product key for Windows7 (Found at sticker at the bottom of your PC).
So before i start the Bootcamp procedure i want to ask this:
If i download Windows7 from the internet, and put it on a CD.
And then use that CD to install windows, and when bootcamp asks for the product Key, i just use the one at the bottom of my PC.
Will it then work?
I don't know if the ProductKey is unique, if so, i have a bigger problem.
Thanks for your time and help,
Finn.

This forum is for discussion of MacBook Pro hardware. Since you don't seem to like the answers here, I would suggest you take your questions to the Boot Camp forum, where experts can help you out quickly.

Auto Download Window in OSX Lion

Another in a long series of questionable (and continuing) events has just started on my new iMac with OSX Lion. Each time I boot a window opens directing me to sign in to use this computer for automatic downloads. I've had my iMac since September and it has never opened this window before; I just reinstalled my OSX 10.7.2 because of continuing problems with the software and this window tasking has only started since the reinstall a week ago. Why does this occur now? How can I turn it off and download what I want when I want? Too bad I can't load Snow Leopard and dump Lion, but that's another situation...

See if this discussion addresses that dialog box; it's a long thread, read through it before trying anything.

Can I install windows xp on Lion?

I have an xp disk, but my parents won't let me buy a new windows 7 disk. Does anyone know how to install windows xp onto my MacbookPro with lion software using boot camp?

All I can tell you is this: When I had Snow Leopard I installed WinXP on my iMac using BootCamp. I upgraded to Lion and XP still runs. Since the ability to boot into Windows is tied to the OS at a very low level, I doubt it is as simple as installing an older version of BootCamp in Lion.

Just purchased a iMac a few hours ago, how do I install the free OSX Lion from the UK?

I'm just starting to get used to my new Mac I just purchased, these things are brilliant! I was told by the seller that since I have a new system I'm allowed to download OSX Lion for free, how would I go about that if I'm from the UK? I can only seem to find the US Link.
Please note, that the UK Link is different to the USA link,
Cheers,
Will.

How do I install windows XP on Lion

I want to install Window XP English Version to my Mac. I need to use this operating system to comunicate to my Air Condition System Manager

Have you looked into using Bootcamp to accomplish this? I just loaded WIN 7 using it and it was flawless. You need to pay attention to the instructions in each window as you go and you should be good to go. You will need a thumbdrive or a writable CD, and a lisenced version of XP, that's it. Make sure you are using the most recent version of Bootcamp. I did this on a late 2011 MBP 17.
Hope this helps.
Ps there is a lot of help in these forums that can assist you in accomplising most anything,
Good luck

Can't install windows seven on lion...

Hi!
Configuration is:
macbook pro 15" 2011
mac os Lion 10.7.2
bootcamp is 4.0.1
My windows Seven licence is a MSDNAA licence with sp1 included ...
I can't install it.
I define 30Gb partition for windows using bootcamp. It formats the partition then reboots and problem occurs at this step.
On display, following message occurs:
"No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key"
I tried differents ways...through dvd or usb key but each time problem occurs...
Windows seven is an iso file downloaded from Ms website. Using bootcamp, I select the iso file and choose USB 2.0 flashdrive (4Gb) as target.
any idea ?
thanks in advance
Nicolas

## Burn the iso to a dvd using Disk Utility, burn at the slowest speed
hi, thanks for your answer and for your inputs about partition size.
btw at that time I can't install os.
before to burn again a dvd, what kind of file, bootcamp will manage as source file? operating system as an iso file ? operating system boot disk ?
the first option of the bootcamp menu stipulates you have to provide an iso file (as source) and an usb key (as target). That's what I made. result was an usb key with OS distribution inside (files and directories and subdirectories.
I test it on a windows laptop. it works as bootable usb key .....
but not with bootcamp on my macbook Pro!!! After partitioning when bootcamp process reboots, the message is
No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
but yes it, it's bootable usb key !!! it seems to me it only checks dvd device but not usb key device.
if we do not use usb key but dvd, what kind of file bootcamp is waiting for ? iso file, bootable disk ??
not clear for me ....
Regards
