Installing Windows  (Boot) with Ipod as an usb hard disk

hi
i want to use my ipod to boot and install windows
to select him in the bios boot sequence as usb hdd
plz help

First, BIOS must support a boot from USB device. Second, iPod must be in Disk Mode. Third, iPod must be formatted as bootable medium such as floppy diskette, CD/DVD-ROM, or flash drive. Let us know when and how you accomplish the third part.

  • Using iPod Video as USB hard disk

    Can someone advise me how to use the iPod Video as USB hard disk without affecting my data in iPod player. Thanks!

    You just need to enable your iPod for disk use, this will not affect whatever else you have on your iPod. This page may be of some help: Using your iPod as a storage drive
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod enabled for disk use is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • How to share Windows 7 Internet connection AND Extreme USB hard disk?

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to share the mobile broadband Internet connection on a Windows 7 PC as well as the USB hard disk connected to the Airport Extreme (2nd Gen) with other WiFi devices. The problem is that I can get either the one to work or the other, but not both.
    When I configure the Airport Extreme for DHCP+NAT, all machines on the Airport network can see each other, share files, etc. When I enable Internet Connection Sharing on the Windows 7 machine, the only way I've gotten that to work is to set the Airport Extreme to bridge mode, but then file sharing of the Airport Extreme's disk no longer works.
    Device info: Internet-connected Dell Latitude E5420 Windows 7 Professional 32-bit, Airport Extreme 802.11n (2nd Gen), Windows XP Home Edition + Nokia N8 + etc. WiFi devices.
    I've read all the manuals I could find and searched these forums but haven't been able to figure out a solution. I'm really getting desperate and will really appreciate any and all suggestions!
    Many thanks,
    Francois

    I've found a solution that works with my existing equipment. It's now possible to share the Windows 7 machine's Internet connection at the same time as the AirPort's drive. An additional challenge was to avoid having to manually reconfigure every WiFi client, but it turned out that's also possible.
    For the sake of posterity, here's the guide! :-)
    Background
    My setup is based on an AirPort Extreme access point WiFi network. The AirPort shares a hard drive, and a number of Windows clients connect to the network. One of these, a Windows 7 machine, has a USB mobile broadband dongle which I also wanted to share with the network.
    Previously I got this to work, but whatever configuration I came up with required manual reconfiguration of each network client, one way or the other. This was not ideal. Also, Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) defaults to IP address .1, the same one to which the AirPort defaults. This needed manual reconfiguration of the ICS host each time ICS was turned on.
    Solution
    THIS SOLUTION REQUIRES THE AIRPORT TO BE IN EITHER DHCP + NAT OR DHCP MODE. IF FOR SOME REASON YOU DEPEND ON THE AIRPORT BEING IN BRIDGE MODE, UNFORTUNATELY THIS SOLUTION WILL NOT WORK FOR YOU.
    1. Do the AirPort's non-Internet configuration
    On the AirPort Utility main screen, click the AirPort button, work through all the tab sheets and configure the items as you require. Do the same for the Printers, Disks and Advanced buttons. Once that's complete, we can do the Internet configuration.
    2. Set the AirPort to DHCP & NAT
    This is needed so you can choose the AirPort network address in the next step (but you can still set a different Connection Sharing mode later on, see step 7). For now, set Connection Sharing to Share a public IP address:
    3. Set the AirPort to the same network address as ICS
    Set the AirPort to the network address used by ICS, namely 192.168.137.xyz. Note that the AirPort does not allow a beginning address below 2:
    4. Obtain the AirPort's MAC addresses
    These will be used in the next step. Record both the Airport ID as well as the Ethernet ID:
    5. Fix the AirPort IP addresses to prevent clashing with ICS
    The AirPort will default to the same IP address as ICS, namely 192.168.137.1. To prevent this, assign different addresses to the AirPort with DHCP reservations. Underneath DHCP Reservations, click the '+' and create reservations for each of the AirPort and Ethernet interfaces. You can use other values, but to be consistent with the rest of this guide use 192.168.137.253 for the AirPort interface and 192.168.137.254 for the Ethernet inteface:
    6. Distribute ICS configuration data with AirPort DHCP
    Yes, you read right! This is where the magic happens. To avoid having to manually configure each WiFi client for the additional ICS network, that configuration data is included with the AirPort DHCP configuration. Assuming you've stuck to the numbers above, configure the TCP/IP screen exactly as shown. .254 is the AirPort router (and also its Ethernet interface) address, and .1 is the IP address that Windows configures for the ICS interface:
    7. Set AirPort Connection Sharing
    If your AirPort is sharing a connection on its WAN port, choose Share a public IP address, otherwise choose Distribute a range of IP address. In the latter case the NAT tab disappears:
    8. Save your AirPort's configuration
    Your AirPort configuration is now complete and you can push the Update button. Once your AirPort has rebooted, its network will be fully operational.
    9. Ensure your Internet sharing port is correctly configured
    ICS involves two network ports on the sharing computer - the shared Internet-connected port, and the sharing port connected to your local network. When you enable ICS on the shared port, Windows will temporarily configure the sharing port's settings to fit in with the scheme above (it will get the fixed IP address 192.168.137.1). When ICS is disabled, Windows will restore the default configuration of the sharing port. The purpose of this step is to ensure that the default sharing port configuration is correct. When ICS is inactive the sharing port needs to obtain an IP address automatically from the AirPort via DHCP. Right-click your chosen WiFi sharing connection > Properties > Networking > Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Properties and configure as follows:
    10. Share your Internet connection
    Right-click the connection you want to share > Properties > Sharing and configure as follows (you may find the other settings also useful but they're not covered here):
    And now you're ready to enjoy your local network services as well as your shared Internet connection, all on your Airport Extreme network - without having to lift a finger to configure network clients!
    Windows Network Profiles
    If you use Windows network profiles to distinguish between Home, Work and Public networks, here are some additional notes you may find useful.
    As Windows recognises networks, it applies their assigned profiles which add or remove sets of restrictions wrt. network discovery, file & printer sharing and so on. The amount of ICS configuration data that can be included with AirPort DHCP information is limited and in some instances this interferes with how Windows recognises networks.
    It seems that Windows recognises a network once a default router has been configured for it. Following are some known scenarios with fixes for each, based on that principle.
    1. WiFi network not recognised
    When ICS is enabled, on the ICS host Windows configures only an IP address for the sharing port and no default router. When ICS is disabled, on the ICS host this port receives its configuration from the AirPort via DHCP, as do all other WiFi clients. This DHCP configuration includes router information for the ICS network, but again no router information for the AirPort network itself.
    Therefore the AirPort network is not recognised on any Windows machines on the WiFi network, under any circumstances.
    To make Windows recognise the AirPort network, execute the following from the command line with Administrator privileges:
         route -4 add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.137.254 metric 3000
    This metric is high enough to ensure that "real" default routes get preference over this one.
    If you want to remove the above routing table entry, execute the following from the command line with Administrator privileges:
         route -4 delete 0.0.0.0 192.168.137.254
    For convenience I created shortcuts for these two commands.
    2. WiFi network recognised, unrecognised network remains
    Once you've added the route above to make Windows recognise your AirPort network, when ICS is disabled Windows will probably identify TWO networks on your WiFi adapter:
         Unidentified network, your_AirPort_network
    Windows now recognises your AirPort network, but the DHCP router entry for the inactive ICS network makes it think there must be yet another network. However, the 192.168.137.1 ICS port is not present when ICS is inactive, so Windows reports the inactive router entry as an unidentified network.
    If you want to remove this unidentified network/router entry, execute the following from the command line with Administrator privileges:
         route -4 delete 0.0.0.0 192.168.137.1
    On your Windows ICS host, removing this entry can cause no harm.
    However, on network clients where you removed this entry and subsequently want to share your Internet connection from again, you'll need to add it back.
    To restore the ICS router entry, execute the following from the command line with Administrator privileges:
         route -4 add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.137.1 metric 1

  • 24" iMac AlSiO does not boot with iPod video on USB dock

    Hello all,
    I have already reported this as an issue with Apple.
    I noticed that when I turn on my new iMac with the video iPod on the dock connected via USB, I only see the gray screen and the OS does not start. However, once I remove the iPod from the dock, then the Apple logo will show up, and the circular moving tiny line counters will ensue before the login screen appears.
    Just wondering if anyone else is running into this problem.

    Thanks for the suggestions den.thed and elmac.
    I have done the following:
    - Selected the Mac OS X on the MacHD as the startup disk and locked that from further changes. Restarting the iMac did not work.
    - Verified and repaired permissions. Restarted the iMac and it did not work either.
    In addition, I also tried:
    - Restoring the video iPod and leaving it without contents. Rebooting the iMac worked.
    - Syncing iTunes with the iPod after the restore. The rebooting problem appears again.
    It seems like some synced items on the iPod are causing the issue as odd as that sounds.
    I did not have this problem with my G5 iMac.
    Since there is a workaround, I'll just live with that for now.
    Thanks again.

  • Cannot Access USB Hard Disk

    I have a USB hub connected to my airport with a printer and USB hard disk attached. I can see in manual setup in AirPort utility that both the printer and the hard disk are set up and connected. The printer prints wirelessly.
    My problem is that I cannot find the hard disk on my computer in order to take and put in files. Where is the hard disk located???

    In the Airport Utility /Disks/File Sharing make sure 'Enable file sharing' is checked. Select your choice for access (Secure Shared Disks).
    Airport Disk Utility: I have enabled 'Automatically discover AirPort Disks' as well as 'Show Airport Disks in the menu bar'. My action for the Airport is 'Connect with Password'.
    More often than not every disk I add to the hub (which is attached to the base station), shows up immediately. When it doesn't, I simply use the menu bar icon, click on the airport name and click 'OK' once the disk availability box appears. My oresent setup is to remember the password in my keychain.
    Note: since updating the firmware as well as Airport application, I have had no issues with hard drive access or, in particular, printer access.

  • Can I install Windows 7 with boot camp on my computer, 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, would USB 3.0 be ok, or would thunderbolt be a better option (hoping its USB)
    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.

  • I can no longer boot up in osx after installing windows 7 with bootcamp

    After installing windows 7 with boot camp I am no longer able to access my osx side, I do not receive an option when holding alt when turning on my MacBook

    What options do you get? If you don't get any options then you may not be pressing and holding the option key long enough or you are pressing it too early or too late.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.
