Installing WINDOWS - 7 WITH secondary display enabled from the time of installation

We have MINI ITX motherboard, This board supports multiple display option  VGA, LVDS..For this configuration we prefer only LVDS.
Currently, we are migrating from LINUX to WINDOWS,Initial installation process does not have any hicups. 
However, when the installtion completes and ask for a reboot. The system by default switches to VGA and there is no display on lVDS.
For this we have to connect an VGA display and complete the rest of the installation and set "Duplicate Desktop on Projector" to get the LVDS back.
We definitely do not require any VGA interference during the installation process. Need some guidance fro enabling  /CLONE display mode from the time of installation.  

Hi,
Because of window doesn't embed LVDS driver, that's why LVDS device doesn't work during system installation. You do need to connect another VGA device to complete the installation.
Another considerable workaround method you can try is that build a Windows image that embed LVDS driver, then use this new image to install Windows 7.
On the other hand, you can try to install LVDS driver during WinPE phrase, put the driver on other drive or USB drive, then press SHIFT+F10, navigate to the location and install the driver for test. I do have no condition make a test for you, but you
can have a try by yourself.

  • Problems installing Windows 7 with boot camp, cant find the cd/dvd driver...

    I´m having some problems installing Windows 7 on my new 12,1 (21,5) iMac with boot camp. When the computer restarts and the Windows 7 setup begins, i get the message that the cd/dvd driver cant be found, so i can't continue the installation. I've tried searching online for the driver, but can't find it. The cd/dvd seems to be a OPTIARC cd/dvd ad-5690h, which seems to be produced by Sony. I have a authentic windows 7. I even tried loading everything ver to a usb-drive, but then it wont boot.

    After reading around on this, and other forums I tried to burn a new dvd at reduced speed(2x), but that did'nt work either... I have an authentic windows 7 iso, downloaded with serial, is there any way to boot this from a jump drive or external hdd?

  • Install Windows 7 with Boot Camp 5

    Hi, I have a mac book pro 15" retina display that I bought a few days ago.
    I want to install windows 7 with bootcamp. I have the DVD of windows 7. The external driver reads it well.
    Now after downloading the drivers for windows and on the step that I have to give how much space to windows bootcamp tells me that it will only work with windows 8.
    Thst's a pain cause I hate windows 8.
    On the manual it says that boot camp should work with windows 64 bits and also windows 8.
    Any help pls?
    I dont want ending using parallels......
    Ma y thanks!! N

    Try to continue creating the partition in Boot Camp Assistant. Then, boot directly from the Windows 7 disk. You should be able to wipe the FAT partition you created and continue.

  • Installing Windows 7 With Boot Camp on Mac Pro 3.1 w/GTX285 Video card

    I have an Early 2008 Mac Pro 3.1 running the latest version of OS 10.6 with all updates.  I have an nVidia GTX285 card installed in the Mac Pro that has been working fine for at least six months under OS 10.6 with Mac drivers downloaded from the nVidia web site and installed under OS 10.6.  I replaced the ATi 2600XT video card with the nVidia GTX285 in order to have CUDA support in Premier Pro CS 5 and it works beautifully.
    I now wish to install Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on this Mac Pro.  I have never had any version of Windows installed on this Mac Pro.  I am using Boot Camp assistant and a new full version of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
    My question is do I need to remove the GTX 285 graphics card and replace it with my AT 2600XT before installing Windows 7?  This would be a real pain to do because the two connectors to the motherboard are hard to get to.  However, since Apple never used the GTX285 in any of its computers, I am worried that I will not have any video display when I go to try and install Windows 7 with Boot Cam assistant. 
    Please advise me whether removing the graphics card is necessary before installing Windows 7 with Boot Camp.
    Thank you in advance for responding.

    NO.... he has a workstation, and not MBP, nor are "drivers already loaded."
    How I would proceed -
    Install Windows on its own drive. 
    Pull all the other drives.
    Boot from Windows 7 Pro DVD
    Forget Boot Camp Assistant, it doesn't do anything - unless you really want to install Windows on the SAME drive as Mac OS - not ideal and not what most of Mac Pro owners do.
    Just insert your OS X DVD once Windows is up to date - helps to buy the SP1 OEM version $129.
    Run Apple SETUP.exe (Boot Camp 3.0.x drivers) and update with ASU or manually to 3.2.
    No you don't need to go back and use that ATI. And you dont' want to be in the situation of changing from ATI to Nvidia and all the hassle that adds. you are fine.
    The Mac Pro is as close as anything to a standard Wintel workstation. 
    Add MS Security Essentials or KIS or whatever you favor. KIS2011 or NIS2011 are good, MSSE 2.0 is free and based on their enterprise product.

  • Problem installing windows on a secondary hard drive

    Hi,
    Here's my issue (sorry for my english, I'm french):
    -I have a macbook pro 15" with OSx Mavericks.
    -I have a SDD harddrive PLUS a 500GO HDD connected to the optical slot.
    I want to install windows on my secondary hard drive.
    What I have done so far:
    -I've cloned my older windows partition.
    -I've created a bootcamp partition on my secondary HDD.
    -I've restaured my clone to the new bootcamp partition on that secondary HDD.
    Up to that point, everything seemed alright.
    BUT when I try to boot on the windows partition, I get this message:
    no bootable device insert boot disk and press any key
    As if my MBP couldn't boot on a secondary hard drive.
    I've looked for answers on this forum but didn"t find anything.
    thanks,
    m

    The only difference between your setup and mine is that I have the SSD in the optical slot and the windows image is on my HD. I boot from the optical slot though, as all my regular Mac stuff is on the SSD. All I can think to do is use Bootcamp to delete the partition and try again. It sure seems like it should work.

  • Can I install Windows 7 with boot camp, but install all my PC games for it on an external hardrive?

    I have a new Mac, but I want to install Windows 7 with boot camp on it. However, I would only really be using it for gaming.
    On another post, someone said that you could not install boot camp entirely onto an external hardrive. As boot camp would only be for gaming, then could I install all my games (when I'm given the option to chose the file of where to install) onto an external drive which is correctly formatted? (what is the format too?) Also, which would allow for a faster gameplay, USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt? as fast gameplay is important
    Thank you

    How to move steam to another drive: 
    Delete everything in the Steam folder except for the "steam.exe" and the "steamapps" folder
    Move the steam folder over to the secondary drive you want it on
    Open the "steam.exe" and it will reconfigure steam
    Log in and BAM! All your games are recognized
    Now, you can put what ever games you want on the SSD with Steam Mover (or junctions)
    Create another folder on the C:\ drive and name it (C:\Users\Sean\Steam Games)
    Run Steam Mover and have it move the game to that location and you are done!
    Now go play the games you want!

    You either download drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant and save to USB FAT disk, or you insert and use 10.6.x OS X DVD when in Windows and install and run the SETUP from there.

    Step 4: Install the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows
    After installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows using your Mac OS X installation disc.  The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort,built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and thefunction keys on an Apple keyboard. 
    The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and theApple Boot Camp system tray item.
    To install the Boot Camp drivers:
    1 Eject the Windows installation disc.
    2 Insert the Mac OS X disc.  If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
    3 Follow the onscreen instructions.
    If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows  Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
    Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don’t require your input.
    If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you mustrespond to. Check the taskbar and look behind open windows.
    Important: Do not click the Cancel button in any of the installer dialogs.
    4 After your computer restarts, follow the instructions in the Found New Hardware  Wizard to update your software drivers (Windows XP only).
    5 Follow the instructions for any other wizards that appear.
    6 Check for updated Boot Camp drivers by using Apple Software Update or going to www.apple.com/support/bootcamp.
      If You Have Problems Installing the Device Drivers 
    If it appears that the Boot Camp drivers weren’t successfully installed, try repairing them.
    To repair Boot Camp drivers:
    1 Start up your computer in Windows.
    2 Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
    3 If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
    4 Click Repair and follow the onscreen instructions.
    If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows  Logo testing, click Continue Anyway. 
    If you need to reinstall specific drivers, you can install one driver at a time. For example,if your built-in iSight camera isn’t working, you can reinstall just the iSight driver.
    Individual drivers are in the Drivers folder on the Mac OS X installation disc.

  • Blank screen when installing Windows 7 with Boot Camp - Mac Mini 2011

    I'm new to the Mac scene, having barely any knowledge on the OS.
    I've been trying to install Windows 7 via Boot Camp on my new Mac Mini (Latest offering from Apple).
    I have an External DVD Drive which I have been using, connected via two USB's to the back of the Mac Mini itself. It's fully functioning, with the Mac recognizing the Drive. I've used it for some CD's and DVD's so far.
    I have a full, licensed copy of Windows 7 Home Premium, bought from the Microsoft Store on a DVD. There's both a 64bit and 32bit DVD, of which I have tried both to install Windows 7.
    I've been through the Boot Camp Assistant software, un ticking both the "Create a Windows 7 install disk" and "Download the latest Windows support software from Apple" because I already have the Windows 7 install disk. I've had troubles downloading the Windows support software from Apple, as it just stops about 1/4 of the download for no apparent reason.
    So once I've made the partition, I insert the Windows 7 DVD into the External Disk Drive, and it reboots. At first it looks like the Disk Drive is working, as you can hear the Disk movement and a blue light on the front of the Disk Drive... But then the screen goes blank, and the Disk stops spinning (from what I can tell). Nothing else happens from then on.
    Is there any reason as to why this is happening?
    Thanks, Dominic

       Yes. Booting from a USB-DVD to install Windows
    The MacBook Air has extra drivers. Some people have edited the script preference plist to add their model Not all USB DVD devices may or may not work.
    Burning electronic versions like an ISO or in .exe format you will see threads where that is the issue.

  • How do I install Windows XP with boot camp assistant, on my IMac?

    How do I install Windows XP with boot camp assistant, on my IMac?

    Lion cannot BootCamp XP.
    You can install XP under virtual machine software (Parallels, VM Fusion, VirtualBox).
    And Windows 7 Pro has XP mode.  XP will requires probably days of pathing after install and will be completely unsupported by MS within 1 year, but Windows 7 Pro still has great support from MS.

    Can I Install Windows 7 on my portable HDD from Mountain lion ? And how i need to do it?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Because of a Microsoft restriction, Windows can't be installed on an external drive (there are workarounds, but you need Windows). Apart from that, Boot Camp only works with the hard drive where you have installed OS X, so you can't use it to install Windows on an external drive

    Thank you

    you will be fine and either are more than enough for even an SSD.
    NTFS of course.
    Might look thru Google to see if anyone has managed to boot Windows from Thunderbolt, I think someone managed after install and then made a restore image and placed on Tb storage device.

  • Hi, can I install windows XP with bootcamp on my iMac which is now on Maverick? Please help.

    Hello all, can I install windows XP with bootcamp on my iMac which is now on Maverick? Please advise. Thank you.

    Install 7. Don't bother with applying drivers and such, just reboot again from DVD and install again, it will see the existing system and this time activation will be possible.
    Vista is mess, takes longer etc. Hope you have SP1 version of 7. And for Vista, only SP2+ are even supported now, by MS.
