Installing Windows 8.1 64 bit on HP Stream 8.

Hello,
HP stream 8 ships with win8.1 32 bit. I've a copy of win 8.1 64 bit which i intend to install on stream 8. Not sure if Boot from USB will work on this tab. Has anyone tried it?
Any clue on performance as on stream 8 tab with 64 bit os?
All expert advise appreciated!
Regards
RR

I am not sure if Windows 8.1 64-bit would install, the Stream's 32-bit UEFI might be one problem. You are also aware that 2 GB of RAM is the minimum requirement for Windows 64-bit?

How to install windows 8.1 64 bit with a DVD

has anyone found a workaround to install windows 8.1 64 bit with a retail DVD?

Gotcha!!
I am done with mounting a secondary HDD (thanks to ifixit) and installing Windows 8 Pro 64 bit on it without a worry. Charm, charm!!
Boot Camp 5 guide prescribes all needed steps and when read and used correctly, installation must be an easy task. And all the existing apple hardwares work so good in the Windows environment too.
I am going to help out a friend of mine in doing a similar thing on his mac too. If you got specific questions, please do shoot up here and i should be able to get a reply to it (if at all).
Thanks everyone.

Install Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit via Boot Camp

I am using a 17" MacBook Pro with and Intel i7 2.66 GHz processor, 8GB 1067 MHz RAM and a 7200RPM 500GB hard drive. I am trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit via Boot Camp. I do what Boot Camp tells me to do, but when my MacBook Pro restarts to boot from the Windows 7 disc, all I get get is a white screen! I have tried to boot manually from the Windows 7 disc, but it won't boot. It freezes on the white screen and I have to reboot the Mac using the Mac OS X partition. How can I fix this ASAP so I can install Windows 7? I need to get it done TONIGHT! I just found out that I am running the 3.0.2 version of boot camp on my Mac OS X 10.6.4 version. Is this the problem? Do I need to update my Boot Camp Utility? If so, how do I do it or do I have to install Windows Vista first since the update is a .exe file?

It is the Windows 7 64-bit disc that came with my Dell a while back, but I no longer have that Dell. I have also tried using my Vista Ultimate 64-bit disc and my Windows XP Pro SP3 disc, but none of these worked. Same result - white screen. All of these discs came with my previous PC computers that I used to have, but I no longer have those PCs. Only their discs. Is using discs that came with other computers for those computers the problem? Do I have to use a Windows disc that has not been used before?

The disks that come with PCs most often include only the drivers and applications required by the PC they were made for. You can not use these disks to install on other than the original hardware.

Boot camp not recognize keyboard and mouse when installing windows 7 pro 64 bit

Hi,
I have some issue when installing windows 7 pro 64 bit using boot camp. after done partitioning the windows drive and when boot to windows installation process, i've got stuck in the first screen when choosing the language. it seems that the keyboard and mouse are not detected.
i'm using boot camp ver. 5.0.
does anyone have similar problem with me?

I have finally successfully installed Windows 7 x64 on MacBook Air 13.3" (2013) thru Bootcamp.
Problem: After Windows 7 install thru BootCamp, I got to the first login screen and not input devices (Mouse, keyboard, USB) worked. I tried to boot into Windows Safemode, but I received the error "Windows can not complete installation in Safe Mode".
Cause: WIndows 7 does not have native USB 3.0 drivers, included on the install images.
Resolution: I downloaded the latest device drivers with thru BootCamp and copied them to the USB Flash Drive that had my bootable Windows 7 x64 install on it. The second option in BootCamp is "Download Support Media". This does more than just download drivers. It creates a file called "autoattended.xml". This is key as it tells Windows during the install process to use the device drivers that you download. Otherwise, you need to do it manually, which you can't because you have no mouse or keyboard.
NOTE: I had no need of a super drive because I had all the files on one USB flash drive. Therefore, I don't think it matter which side of the MBA the USB drive was plugged in, as other solutions suggested.

Is it possible to Install Windows 8 Pro 64-bit on a secondary hard dive in Mac Mini (Late 2012) using Boot Camp 5?

Hello,
I have a Mac Mini (Late 2012) running on OS X 10.8.3 and would like to install Windows 8 Pro on a secondary hard drive using Boot Camp 5. Is that really possible?
A little background about the topic under discussion.
1. Mac Mini (Late 2012) has a place holder to accomodate an additional hard drive (2.5") under the hood
2. If just plugged with one, it would show as an additional volume in the finder
3. Boot Camp 5 supoprts Windows 8 Pro 64-bit installation
The idea is to run two operating systems (1. OS X and 2. Windows 8) on two hard drives in a Mac Mini, with maintainability a constraint.
Have any one tried this out? If so, kindly share if there are any specific procedures apart form the one given in Boot Camp 5 manual.
Thanks in advance.

Boot Camp not able to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit!!???

Guys I'm using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 & I'm having a problem installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit through boot camp. When I insert the windows installation disc it creates the partition but as soon as it restarts to proceed the installation, it hangs up there saying 'No Bootable Device. Please Insert Installation Disc and press any key to continue'. But when i was previously using Mac OS X Snow Leopard, I installed Windows 7 using the same disc and it proceeded without any issues. Can any body give me a solution to it please because I want Windows 7 in boot camp and I do not want to use it in any virtual machine like parallels desktop!!! I AM USING iMAC 2010 so its quite new!!!!!!

I am having the same problem. I have a very recent 27" iMac 3.4g i7 and I am trying to install Windows 7 64bit upgrade.Also running OSX 10.7.2. It also stalls out after expending files reporting that there are missing files with a error code 0x80070057. I was trying to install a fresh complete version but had bought the upgrade.. I had vista on another machine but had taken it off and was going to use the key for the upgrade. No windows had as of yet been installed. I later tried to install Vista as a way to upgrade to Win7,which went ok, but when I tried to upgrade to Win 7 64bit, I couldn't. I have tried this multiple times without success and have removed the boot camp partition after each failed attempt... Any Suggestions?? Thanks in advance

Unable to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on Lenovo 3000 J115 7387-26U

Hi Everyone,
I am unable to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on my Lenovo desktop. Model : 3000 J115 7387-26U.
When I try to boot my DVD, the systems makes a loud whirring noise.. as if trying to read from DVD, the screen goes blank couple of times and then Windows XP starts up (from my HDD).
I have a Windows 7 32 bit DVD and it successfully started up and I could see the install screen (though I didn't install it. I want to install 64 bit version of the software).
Anyone else seen this problem? Is there some workaround available?
Thanks for your help.

Hi:
The Intel link you posted doesn't work, so I don't know what you have tried.
See if this works...
Download the drivers from this link below (first file listed -- 64 bit).
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=2101&DwnldID=23060&keyword=Intel+Rap...
Extract (copy) the files onto a usb flash drive without any folders.
With the flash drive and W7 installation media plugged into the machine, boot from the W7 installation media.
After you select the install now option, select the Drive Options - Advanced menu, then select the Load Driver option.
You should now see the storage driver files listed.
If you check the box, it will only include the compatible driver.
Follow the prompts and hopefully, W7 will install.

Any Guide to install Windows 8 Pro 64-bit on Retina 13??

Any Guide to install Windows 8 Pro 64-bit on Retina 13?? Is it possible??? I was able to install Win7, but stuck on a blue black screen on self-restart after Installing Win8.. The same iso works fine with Oracle VM... Any help? Many Thanks....

Try parallels.com. It is a virtual machine which you can have Mac and Windows both running at the same time. I currently have it installed on my Macbook Pro 13" Non Retina and it works great!
I know for a fact Windows 8 is compatible and it is also Mountain Lion compatible as well.

Installing Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit on Bootcamp issue

Hi I'm a newbie, I would like to install Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit using boot camp. I went into boot camp to partition and split the 1 terabyte hardrive. half is for Leopard, the other half is for Windows Vista.
I followed the steps and popped in the disk, awhile later I get a message saying "Where do you want to install Windows?"
It's showing:
Disk 0 Partition 1 200 mb primary
Disk 0 Partition 2 466 gb Primary
Disk 0 unallocated space 128 mb
Disk 0 partition 3 Boot camp 464 gb Primary.
which ever one I click on it says "Windows Cannot be installed to this hard disk space. Windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS"
I can't get passed this part, what do I do?
Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi Stuart,
Vista needs its system partition to be formatted with NTFS.
The BootCamp Asistant does a pre-format with FAT32 since OSX can not write to NTFS partitions (only read).
Therefor you have to reformat the Windows partition with the Vista Installer to NTFS.
See page 11 of the BootCamp Setup Guide found here http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ (and it's also part of the BootCamp Assistant).

Can I install Windows XP Pro 64 bit on this specific Mac Pro?

I have a 2x3GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon. It's not one of the newest machines. It's from the first rev of dual-quads that came out. I bought it in mid-2007.
I'd love to install Windows XP Pro 64-bit on a second hard drive.
- Can I install Win XP 64 on this Mac?
- If so, what version of Win XP Pro do I need to get?
Thanks,
----------S

Hi Steve,
in theory you can install XP 64-bit Professional, which by the way is the only version of a 64-bit XP avaiable.
There is no 64-bit XP Home.
BUT, since Apple does not provide any drivers for 64-bit XP, you are on your own to look and find the needed drivers for it.
You at least need drivers from Intel (for chipset, SATA and NIC) Realtek (for audio) Microsoft (for support of HD-Audio) and ATI/NVIDIA (for graphics card).
You will still be missing any kind of Apple specifics like Keyboard functions, but should be able to run and work with XP-64.
Good Luck
Stefan

Can I install window 7 enterprise 32 bit on MacBook Pro

I have installed window 7 enterprise 32 bit on my MacBook Pro but it appears no software drivers such as Bluethoot USB Bost Controller, Enternet Controller, FaceTIme HD Camera (Built-in), Network Controller...etc. Then I tried to download Boot Camp Support Software 4 but it did not work.
So, can i install window 7 enterprise 32 bit on Mac? How to solve this problem?
Thanks!

You don't say what year/version Macbook Pro you have. Newer Macbook Pros only support 64 bit Windows. See the tables here to see which Windows your computer supports. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
There are several reasons you should use 64 bit Windows on a newer Macbook Pro:
Your computer is 64 bit
32 bit Windows can only use about 3.5 GB of your installed ram
32 bit programs run in 64 bit Windows
There is no reason to use 32 bit Windows in a modern Macbook Pro.

Successfully Installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit on T42P 2373 HTU

Hi Fellow Forum Members,
I didn't see this topic, so thought I would post my experiences.
I have successfully installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit on my T42P 2373-HTU. It was pretty easy. I did NOT have these problems which were mentioned elsewhere on the internet:
Display flickering - mentioned sometimes regarding the ATI video card
Wireless adapter problems - mentioned due to the Intel wireless 2100 3b adapter
It was very painless. Here are the steps I followed:
Bought a new hard drive (made sure to get PATA and not SATA). I bought this model from Amazon for $95, Western Digital Scorpio Blue PATA 5400 RPM 8 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Notebook Hard Drive WD3200BEVE . Note: I don't think the hard drive protection system works with non-IBM/Lenovo hard drives. So don't drop it.
Swapped out the old hard drive for the new one. Note 1: I did not do any formatting on the new drive, so I'm not sure how/if it was formatted. The Windows 7 installer did not ask me any questions about formatting the hard drive. Note 2: My new hard drive did not come with a cover and when I put it into the main hard drive bay of the T42P, the T42P BIOS did not find the hard drive. I moved the hard drive cover from the old hard drive and put it on the new one and then the BIOS found my new hard drive without any problems. To check if you have this problem, hit F1 when starting up and enter the BIOS. Check the startup and if the hard drive is found, you will see a description for it. So it will say something like HDD:0 WD2345HWTK. If it just says HDD:0 and is blank after that, it did not find the hard drive. You can check this before you swap out the hard drive.
Installed Windows 7 (custom install as it was not an upgrade). Note: The computer reboots a couple of times. It asks after the first reboot (did not ask after the 2nd or I didn't see the question) if you want to boot from the CD/DVD drive. I tried to hit a key which would mean yes, but am not sure this was fast enough. Obviously if one boot option does not work for you, try the other.
After finishing the install, I ran Windows Update. There are several drivers that it finds, including the ATI video driver and the Intel wireless adapter driver. You have to reboot after this for the changes to take effect. Note: These are optional updates according to Windows Update, but maybe not to you
I then downloaded Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update 4. Despite not having an IBM/Lenovo hard drive, this installed and ran fine. It recognized my Thinkpad model and type. It then let me install drivers for things like the volume buttons above the keyboard, etc.
Moved my data. I put my old hard drive into a hard drive adapter and then put it in where the CD/DVD drive was. I then copied over all my old files by hand.
That's it. I was hope this was helpful for you. I was very impressed that the System Update software would install all the drivers I needed to get to the Thinkpad specific features to work.
Systems I use: T42P, T61P, Y510, A600

Just want to give an update. It's been about 1 week and I've had no problems. Signing in and out of Win 7 is very fast. Much better than with XP. Even though I have a slower hard drive with Windows 7 (5400 RPM) vs Windows XP (7200 RPM), Windows 7 is faster. Startup time is about the same, but shutdown is a lot faster, just like signing and out and logging in and out.
Wireless LAN (WLAN) configuration was painless and has worked well. It automatically reconnects when I boot and does not drop my connection when i stay logged in but switch users (this happened to me on XP with the IBM Access software).
It has been well worth the upgrade so far.
Systems I use: T42P, T61P, Y510, A600

I installed Windows 8 Pro 64 bit, now there is no sound.

I have a HP 620 Laptop pc, WZ257UT#ABA. I installed Windows 8 Pro 64 bit, now there is no sound.
I tried all the downloads, including hard reboot. Defaulting bios,etc.
Any possible solutions? I need this going by DEC 24.
Everything else is working fine that I can tell.
Thanks in advance.

More than likely it is a driver compatibility issue with Windows 8.
Did you purchase your notebook before or after October 1, 2011? If you purchased it prior to this date HP will not be producing drivers for the notebook, but the hardware manufacturer may. If the product was purchased after that date you'll just need to watch the product's software and driver page for the drivers to be released.
Here is more information about the upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8.
