Installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit upgrade version on an Apple MA877FN/A

Hello all,
I've an Apple MA877FN/A running Vista 32 bit and Mac OS X 10.5.8
I want to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit upgrade version (student license) on my machine.
Is this possible?

Custom clean install.
If it is shipped as .ISO burn the DVD in Vista, if you use Apple DU then burn at reduced 2x speed.

HT3986 Installing Windows 7 from Upgrade disc

I have a Windows 7 Upgrade disc, can I use it to install Windows? Apple documentation says you can and then later says you can't. Is there a way to install Windows with an Upgrade disc or not? If so, how?

Yes, I guess that's what I was deducing. So if I'm coming from Windows and had previously purchased an upgrade disc, the only way to get Windows on the Mac would be to buy the full Windows OS. Or I'd need to buy the full version of XP or Vista in order to use my upgrade disc...meh.

Installing Windows Ultimate Beta 32-Bit

Just a reminder to all that Boot Camp doesn't support 64-Bit Windows. You need to install the 32-Bit version, or you will not be able to install Apple updates from your Leopard disc.
I learned the hard way by installing twice. First the 64-Bit, then deleting and installing the 32-Bit version.
Have to say Windows 7 is quite an improvement. Everything worked flawlessly, except I can't pair my Apple BT mouse and keyboard for some reason.

Are you sure that you want to make a blanket statement that applies to the entire universe of users....?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846
I'm running 2006 Mac Pro, Vista Ultimate 64, Windows 7.
You need the 10.5.4 Leopard DVD or a Mac that came with 64-bit Boot Camp drivers. Or download them off Pirate Bay.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1999
There are issues with Vista 64-bit SP1 and above due to the way Apple implemented its own EFI boot manager and what Microsoft and Intel such that you get an EFI screen asking to "press 1 or 2" and have to hack the DVD ISO to remove the EFI boot menu.

I installed bootcamp 4.0 4033, installed window 32 bit but can't install the drivers for some reason i keep getting error message. i have a macbook pro mid 2011 version. Please help

I installed bootcamp 4.0 4033 so that I can install windows 7 32 bit on my mac. Everything works fine until I try to install the drivers and I get an error message stating the version of windows does not work with the drivers I am trying to install. I have a feeling somehow I am downloading 64 bit drivers when I need 32 bit. I spoke to Apple and they said I can't use 32 bit windows.. but that is not what the support site says (it says I can as long as I use bootcamp 4, not 5). Also, my bootcamp assistant is version 5.. I have no idea if that matters. Help please.. been searching online for hours.

What model/year is your Macbook Pro? What operating system version?

Cant install windows ultimate 32 bit on my imac.

i cant install windows 7 ultimate on my imac every time i gets to the part wherr you shall pick the boot camp it says that i should put a cd with a driver in it put the windows cd wont get out.

Hi Andreas,
Please specify your hardware and software. Running OSX? Which version? Old hardware/new hardware?
It is not sure what your problem is: is it that the CD will not eject? Or is it that the winbdows cd is not installing?

It's impossible to install Windows 64 Bits on my Macbook Pro, why?

Hey everybody,
I was tryng for three days to install Windows (8 and 7 after) 64 bits version on my Macbook Pro and I can tell you that It's impossible...
It's doesnt matter what I do, the PC does not recognize the bootable disk or usb for Windows.
I followed these steps:
- I downloaded the Windows 7 official ISO image to burn a DVD Setup after use the Boot Camp Assistant.
- When I used the Boot Camp Assistant, I tried to "Download the latests Windows support software from Apple" but 2 minutes after I chose that option, the assistant alert me that the Server doesn't have the files anymore... so I had to simply use the install option BUT it requires that I put the Windows Installation CD on my PC and when I put it on it... the PC doesnt recognize it! My "solution": I mount a Virtual Drive with the ISO image of the DVD and now my Mac recognize the Installation CD so I can continue with the installation...
- After that the PC was restarted and thats the last step that I reach because when It's tryng to start with the Installation Drive it's doesn't recognize... again!! A black screen appears with a text that say "Insert a bootable drive and press any key"... or something like that.
So I'm stuck in this step because I was tryng to use another Installation CDs, burning it again and again, tryng with Windows 8 too and nothing happens.
I tried to make an USB Bootable too but my Boot Camp Assistant doesnt have any option to make it (I read that some macbooks have an a 3rd option in his Boot Camp Assistant that prepare a USB with the ISO of any Windows Installation CD) so obviously whitout it was completely useless.
I was tryng to make a bootable dvd with UDF format (cause I read that if the cd is not in that format It doesnt be recognize in Mac as a bootable drive...).
What can I do? I know that Windows 32 Bits Systems run on my Mac but It should support 64 Bits Systems too (I was reading the compatibility of Boot Camp and Windows versions and It should run!).
Please help me
My Macbook Model is:
Macbook Pro 13-inch, Mid 2010
Processor 2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 1067 Mhz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256MB
Software: OS X 10.9.2 (13C1021)
Boot Camp Version: 5.1.2 (481)

you can just download the bootcamp drivers manually
http://www.apple.com/dk/support/bootcamp/
and you can't
: I mount a Virtual Drive with the ISO image of the DVD
bootloader time nothing can read virtual drives you need a real dvd with the iso burned on it or to do the usb install way
have you tried to view some of the tons of youtube guides which show you step by step how to install windows on bootcamp ?

Installed Windows & 32 Bit But Drivers and USB ports NOT WORKING.

I bugh an HP Pavillion TS 14 Notebook that came preinstall with Windows 8.1 64 bit which I hate so wiped the drives and installed Windows 7 32 bit and now I have a big problem. None of my network drivers work and the 2 uSB ports where I plug my mouse and other SB hardware in no longer work.
I did a back up of the SW Set up file that has all of the HP dvers for my laptop but both the network and video divers won't install. And When I try to install the drives I get the eror message saying they are not compatible with this version of Windows.
I have loked on the HP website under my laptop model which s as above but HP don't do drivers for Windows 7 32 for my laptop. And I have looked on both the Realteck website for both the Realteck ethnet and Realteck wireless network drivers but none of them work or install on my operating system. The video drivers Intel don't work either. So I am really stuck a I cannot go back to Windows 8.1 as though that 32 bit Windows 7 would work on my laptop but most of my drivers are not compatible with the operating sytem And I don't want to install 64 bit Windows as I like 32 bit.
The drivers that are not working on Windows 7 32 bit are:
Realteck RTL8188EE 802-11b/gn witeless lan
Realteck ethnet die and
Intel High definition graphcs driver
Which don't work at all on Windows 7 32 bit as they are 64 bit only drivers.
So can you please post me a link bth the network and Intel graphics drvers that work with my laptop. As I have tried lots of different Realteck and raphics drivers for Window 7 but NONE of them work on my system. And None of my USB ports are working either. So how do I solve this problem?
This question was solved.

Hi:
Should be no problem to get W7 32 bit to work on that model.
Just use all of the drivers and software from the HP Probook 450 G0 on your model except the Audio, BIOS and firmware files.
Your model uses the Intel HD graphics driver only.
The first driver you have to install is the Intel chipset installation utility and then reboot.
http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/psi/swdHome/?cc=us&lang=en&sp4ts.oid=5359407&ac.ad...
Audio: Accept the agreement. Download and install the first driver on the list.
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownT...
If for some reason, the Intel HD graphics driver from that model does not work, then use this one...

Can I install Windows 7 without upgrading to Snow Leopard?

I have Windows 7 and I just bought the Snow Leopard upgrade disk. I want to install Windows 7 on its own hardrive (no partition) but without having to upgrade to Snow Leopard first. I am happy with Leopard and feel if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I am wondering if I can just use Leopard to install Windows 7 onto the new drive, then boot into Windows 7 and use the Snow Leopard disk to install Bootcamp 3.0 and all the other drivers.
Does Snow Leopard have to be on the Mac in order to get the right EFI/Bios to run Windows 7 in XP mode, or does Boot Camp take care of that?
Thanks

AppleHFS is 'buggy' and HFS filenames can cause Explorer to hang (green bar) if it runs across any special character is doesn't like.
And yes, there is no requirement to be running SL. BC 3.0 also came out before Windows 7 (trying to jump the gun? pre-mature? wanted to get SL out the door before Windows). Newer SL DVDs usually also have later version of "3.0" Shame that 3.0 has to be installed and then updated instead of just a logical download/install of 3.2 (maybe put in any OS X DVD to verify you have it?).
Apple won't, they want sales of SL and pre-install. Any other source, and people have hosted it, not worth the risk, and violates terms of use posting it online.
Instead of using AppleHFS, which you rename to disable, there is HFS driver from Paragon as well as MacDrive8 (which has its own issue with 7). AppleHFS interferes and prevents using Windows Backup is also a concern.
I'm not sure I totally trust NTFS-3G to write to Windows 7, or allow cross platform read/write.
More and more, the tech specs and hardware or software requirements (requires 10.6 DVD is only for BC drivers), or ATI 5770 'only' works with 2009/2010, but doesn't and didn't say 10.6.5 or later), otherwise works with any Mac Pro (would be hard to prevent).

Installing CS4 Design Standard, upgrade version

Hi everyone, I have a question about the installation process of (the upgrade version of) CS4 Design Standard; the operating system of my PC is Windows XP Pro (SP3), as up-to-date as possible ;)
The version of CS I'm currently using is CS2 Premium.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but am I right in assuming I can install CS4 without removing (or hampering!) my current installation?
(If this is indeed true, I would be rather pleased. I need the new Camera Raw (as the upcoming EOS 5D Mk II isn't supported by version 4.x), but I'm currently working on a large project involving Photoshop & Illustrator -- and I *definitely* do not want to change versions half-way through.)
One thing worries me the most -- what about Acrobat? CS2 came with version 7, but I have read that Acrobat isn't as well-behaved as the 'proper' CS products.
All help is highly appreciated.

Just install it. CS2 won't be touched but you'll be prompted to allow
the installer to uninstall Acrobat 7.

"Install Windows 7 or later version" check box not showing up in Boot Camp

I am following a Reddit guide to dual boot Windows 7 on my late-2011 MBP. I've done every step up to installing Windows 7, but there is no check box to "Install Windows 7 or later" in Boot Camp. I've tried several other resources but none mention this. There is a "Remove Windows 7 or later version" check box which has a description stating it can install a Windows partition as well, but when I select it and click to go ahead it only has a selection to remove a Windows partition. I hope I'm just having a brain **** here, because I've been at this for a minute and it's causing hair loss at 21. Haha.
Ohh, and here's the guide I'm following: http://sampower.ie/windows-7-on-mavericks-via-bootcamp-and-usb/

your mac seems to think you had installed windows before
do you have more than 1 partition on your drive, if so, boot camp assistant will not work
if not, restart your mac and do a pram reset
open disk utility and repair permissions twice
open bca and try again

I'm Having problems installing windows 7 through bootcamp Version 3.0.4onto my Imac 27in mid 2011 model

So confused... ran boot camp, and created the partition, but when I insert my windows 7 disc, it spits it out, and says please insert disk! When I reeboot my computer, it now goes to a black screen that says no bootable drive... and insert boot disc to continue? So now I have to hold down the option key to boot my Imac in its normal mode! Someone, please help!

Update Boot camp through Software updates and sorry to tell you but if the built in Superdrive is not working you will never install Windows on that Mac computer.
As has beenn pointed out Apple have Locked the system from booting from the Windows install system from any other source then the internal DVD drive. So no working internal DVD drive = No installing of Windows.
You'll have to get the internal drive replaced or maybe hack the case and install a Tray load DVD drive in the system. Never tried that but I bet it would work. I think the restriction is the DVD drive has to be connected to the secondary SATA port. Having any DVD drive connected to that port would allow you to boot to the Windows installer.
