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....?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Windows 7 beta, 64-bit, on a Mac Pro

I'm about to attempt this, so I thought I'd gather together some tips on it. Found this thread re MacBook Pros:
http://ourcoffeestops.com/2009/01/guide-windows-7-x64-build-7000-on-a-macbook-pr o/
Has anybody else tried this on a Mac Pro with any success?
I've got a GEForce 8800 GT, early-2008 Mac Pro with 2 x Quad core. Any advice?
Thanks

If you had installed Vista, they you probably know most all the how and why, and just need tips on what is new and different.
Main new item to be aware of:
Older driver updates and installers (like Apple Boot Camp) have to run in a new "Vista Compatibile Mode" property setting. It may not run, or run and not really be successful.
You will need to reinstall or install RealTek audio driver yourself.
Pull your drives and leave one raw drive in there, formatted as Master Boot Record and FAT (MSDOS) and boot from the Windows 7 DVD you burned earlier in Disk Utility.
If someone has a Mac Pro from pre-2008, it has a different EFI32 firmware, not UEFI 2.x (EFI64) and may see an EFI boot menu when first boot from Windows 7 DVD (or Vista SP1 or later) when using 64-bit (Microsoft added some support for EFI in 64-bit versions post Vista SP1).

Should I install Windows 7 as 32-bit or 64-bit?

I just purchased a mid 2011 MacBook Air. (11" 1.6GHz Core i5, 4 GB RAM, Lion 10.7.1.)
My ultimate goal is to run PowerPoint and an TurningPoint audience response system that plugs into PowerPoint. TurningPoint says it runs as either 32-bit or 64-bit. That's the only Windows program I will likely use. Otherwise I'm a Mac guy.
My installation disks for both Windows 7 and Office 2010 both included 32-bit or 64-bit.
So is there any reason for installing Windows 7 and Office 2010 as 32-bit or 64-bit?
I plan to use Boot Camp 4.0.1 and have limited tech skills "under the hood."

I'll take you up on your kind offer, Stefan.
I've been reading the Apple info on the install before I get started. I checked out the Boot Camp 4.0.1 interface and see that will be asked to select the tasks. Here's a few questions:
1. It defaults to "checked" on all 3 tasks - should I do the same?
2. My MBA did not ship with any Lion install discs - can I complete the project without one? Does the second task take care of that?
3. What's a "WIndows 7 ISO image"? How do I get one? - or is it created in the Boot Camp process?
Danke,
Peter

Cannot install Windows 7 pro 64 bit on Satallite A200

I have Win 7 pro 32 bit and I need to clean install 64 bit version. I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 model no. psafoa and it won't boot dvd/usb or anything else other than the main hard drive. I am pretty sure it's the bios. I can't change anything in the bios settings, I can change the boot order ie usb first etc. but that doesn't work. It just doesn't want to boot.
Any help much appreciated, I have been trying for over 20 hrs. I already have the latest driver for the bios which is from 2007, looong ago dam it. I need to install this for studies.
I have the latest update for my bios, and have followed instructions from Toshiba and elsewhere.
I repeat, I do not just want to install windos 7, I already have that, I want to instal windows 7 64 bit.

Hi
You dont need to change the booting order in BIOS.
You can boot from CD/DVD drive using another way
Press F12 after notebook has powered up
Then a boot menu should appear there you should choose the ODD as booting device and should press ENTER.
This would enable the booting from CD/DVD drive
You can also press the C button immediately after notebook has powered up this should enable CD/DVD drive as well.!

Install Windows 7 Professional 64-bit on MBP A1226 2.2Ghz 15-inch?

So the MBP model I have is above, and I get this error message when I try to boot from my Windows 7 Prof disc:
"1.
2.
Select CD-Rom Boot Type:_"
And once I do get it installed, where are the 64-bit drivers? I don't have my backup disc as this MBP I bought used without that included... thanks in advance for any helpful tips.

More RAM won't help. The combo Lion + SL is for people that want Lion on USB and you still are running 10.5.
You will never get any help or support from Apple over having 32-bit EFI firmware and not having the UEFI or EFI-64.
Only UEFI supports Windows 7 64-bit officially. Apple has a list of unsupported Macs, their implementation is different somewhat also. UEFI is rare on PCs.
You can't boot OS X using 64-bit kernel.
As the link about "Select...." and other articles, you can get around it, and you can run Windows 7 64-bit once you do, but it takes more work.

Unable to Install Windows 7.0 64 bit on Hp Pavilion i3 Model 15-00B002tu

Please help me to install

This question was solved.
View Solution.

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.
