Is it possible to install Windows 8 on a new MBP through Bootcamp?

My new MBP has no CD slot obviously - anyone able to install from the cloud? USB?

You can install Windows 8 on a new MacBook Pro without any problem. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
On Macs without a SuperDrive, you have two options to install Windows:
1. Buy Windows on a DVD and an external optical drive, connect it and use it to install Windows.
2. Purchase Windows from the Microsoft Store or any other shop that offers it as a download, burn the file downloaded into a USB drive with Boot Camp Assistant, and install Windows with the USB drive.
To install Windows 8, you need a full version, so the only possibility is to get it on a DVD and use an external optical drive to install it. If you want all the steps to install Windows 8 through Boot Camp, follow these steps > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf

When installing Windows 7 on my mac through bootcamp, it always freezes at "Completing Installation"

When I try to install windows 7 on my mac, it always freezes at "Completing Installation". Does anyone know a fix for this?

Got it!
After posting my question I noticed the "More like this" category and the second discussion was a hit.

It was a display driver. All I needed to do was to boot from the CD again and following the directions in the post.
Worked like a charm.

I install Windows XP on 24" iMac through BootCamp, I can get mail but no internet?? I use Hughes Satellite connection for all (4 total) desk tops computers, then use wireless APPLE WI-FI for portable devices ie, Mac Book, iPod Touch, iPad.

I installed WindowsXP, home on 24" Mac through Boot Camps, (I'm on OX10.6) everything works just fine except for getting connection on Internet Explorer, I can receive mail O.K. not sent through Outlook express, nowhere do I see the word Ethernet (which is connection I use on Mac) can anyone help?

if it can receive emails then likely dns is the issue
make sure the windows osx driver you make make in bootcamp in the osx end
and make sure the windows nic is set to use hdcp and that the router you connect to support hdcp

Is it possible to install Lion on a new MBP (non-retina)?

From what I can conclude, there doesn't seem to be any way to install Lion on a brand new MBP with Mountain Lion pre-installed (purchased today). I have the Lion installer but only for a MacPro, so presumably that won't work. Has anyone found a way to do this?

While it's probably unlikely to work, if you can find someone with the same generation MBP that shipped with Lion you can have them install Lion to an empty external drive and you can try booting from that. You will need the specific version of Lion to these system that cannot be downloaded from the App Store and currently must be installed from an Internet Recovery. If you can boot then you should be able to clone that to your internal drive and be on your merry way.
There is a little crossover where systems that shipped with ML will in fact boot Lion depending on when they were actually manufactured. Hopefully yours is one of them.

Is it possible to install windows 8.1 on macbook pro late 2013?

hi ,
Is it possible to install windows 8.1 on late 2013 macbook pro?
I have tried installing it twice but both of the time i got an error
Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed.

Maybe people have found a solution already but yesterday I managed to install Win 8.1 as a BootCamp on my new 15" retina MBP. I followed the steps John Guo described but with a couple of changes as his approach failed for me.
1. Make sure you are starting from a single partition.
2. Create the Windows install USB from the ISO and also allow BootCamp Assistant to create download the drivers - but untick the option to install windows.
3. Open Disk Utility and create a new partition and format as MS-DOS (FAT) rather than leave as free space.
4. Restart your Mac and use the option to boot into the Windows part of the USB not the EFI-boot.
5. Follow the install
6. When it comes to the drive selection select the FAT drive. Windows installer will say it cannot install here as it needs to be and NTFS partitiion (in previous atempts I always got the message to say the partitiion was using GUI partition table so could not install even though it was formatted to NTFS).
7. The format to NTFS should work fine and install proceed.
8. When the installer reboots the machine you will need to use the boot option to ensure you boot back into Windows.
9. Once installed the bootcamp driver install runs automatically and for me all drivers run fine even the NVIDIA, which I've seen some people mention having issues with.
I was inpressed with Windows automatically scaling the text to 200%, which meant it was using the full 2880x1800 resolution so everything was crisp but the windows and text was scaled nicely. I changed this 150% to give me some more real estate.
I'm guessing that by formatting the new partition as FAT it creates a MBP within the new drive that is writable by windows but I'm not a windows guru so this is a guess. But anyway, this work perfectly.
hope this helps some people.

If you have Lion installed, and run Boot Camp, it will create the boot flash for you, just followe the tutorial on screen. As far as I remember, this was not possible prior to Lion.

Is it possible to install Windows 7 on Satellite Pro 6100

Is it possible to install windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite pro 6100 machine? I 'm currently using windows XP.
thanks.

Hi buddy,
Do you really think about Windows 7 installation on many years old Satellite Pro 6100???
In my opinion this will not work because its too old and not fast enough. Newest OS that is supported from Toshiba is Windows XP and this should be the best choice for this oldie.
So just be satisfied with Windows XP, its a good choice for older computers! :)

Is it possible to install Windows 7 on Retina MacBook with a shared CD drive?

My school provides Windows 7 Ultimate upgrades to students
My friend installed Windows 7 normally even though it's technically an upgrade (burned the .img file to a DVD using Disk Utility and installed it through the Boot Camp Assistant tool in Snow Leopard)
I own a 2008 MacBook which has an optical drive
I own 1, 2 GB thumb drive and 1, 4 GB thumb drive
Is it possible to install Windows 7 through my Retina MacBook Pro through a shared CD connection with my 2008 MacBook?
I tried using the Boot Camp Assitant tool.
I burned the Windows 7 upgrade .img file to a DVD with Disk Utility just like my friend
I copied that DVD as a .cdr file to my Retina MacBook using the shared CD connection and Disk Utility, and changed the file extension to .iso
With the Boot Camp Assistant, I set-up my 4 GB thumb drive
When I get to the "Create a Partition for Windows" screen and I press install, I get the message "The installer disc could not be found".
The DVD is in my 2008 MacBook and I mounted it on the Retina MacBook. The 4 GB Windows set-up thumb drive is connected to the Retina MacBook.
I'm confused as to what I'm doing wrong.
Any help is appreciated.

Is It Possible to Install Windows 7 on a GUID Partition Table Disk?

Is it possible to install Windows 7 on a GPT disk?
I created a RAID 0 array on my dual Xeon 5580 system and tried installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit RTM. When I got to the "Where do you want to install Windows" part I used shift-F10 to open up a command window, then I used diskpart to create a GPT with the following partitions:
Disk 0 Part 1 - 102 MB EFI System
Disk 0 Part 2 - 128 MB MSR
Disk 0 Part 3 - 500 MB Primary
Disk 0 Part 4 - 7446 GB Primary
But there was a message "Windows cannot be installed to Disk 0 Partition 3 (show details)" - clicking on "show details" gave me "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style."
What gives? I thought Windows Vista and beyond supported GPT.
The problem with MBR is that you can't have a file system larger than 2 TB.
Cheers, Eric

I am trying to install Windows Server 2008 R2 Ent edition onto system that has an ASUS M3A78 Pro motherboard with 8GB of memory & an AMD Phenom II x3 2.6GHz Socket AM3 Processor
(X3 710).
I realize that this system doesn't support UEFI but I have an Adaptec 3805 RAID controller in this system that does support the advanced format hard drives, so I would think I should
be OK there.
Attached to the RAID controller are 3 - 1.5TB SATA Hard Drives in a RAID 5 yeilding 2.72TB's of usable space.
I followed the following process to convert the array to GPT.
I booted to the Server 2008 R2 Ent installation DVD.
I select next at the language \ time & currency format \ Keyboard selection screen.
Then I select the 'repair your computer' option at the following screen.
I do not select the 'repair' (default) option, but instead select the radio button above it (I forget what that's labeled) working from memory here - which gives me the option to
launch a command prompt.
I launch diskaprt from that command prompt.
First I selected the disk
list disk (this displays the installed disks)
select disk 0
The I converted the disk to gpt
convert gpt
Then I created 200 MB EFI partition:
create partition
efi size=200
Then I created MSR
partition:
create partition
msr size=128
Then I created primary
partition:
create partition
primary
...and it took remaining
available space to itself.
I assigned drive
letter C to this new first "primary" partition
Assign letter=c
I confirmed the order is:
I confirmed the partition order is:
ESP > MSR > DATA Partition
After all of that I restart into the Windows installation and attempt to install by selecting the newly created primary partition and am presented with an error that states:
“Windows cannot be installed to Disk 0 Partition 3. (Show details)”
and the details show:
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the gpt partition style."
Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Is it possible to Install Windows on Sparc machine.

hi
Can anybody please tell me that is it possible to install Windows Operating system on a SPARC machine using some kind of VMWare*.

Hi.
SPARC CPU not compatible with x86, so no one program for x86 can be run on SPARC cpu.
Many many years ago was product WABI. It was emulation x86 on SPARC and can allow install windows in special environment.
It was Windows 3.1 :) . It work slow.
After this SUN make product SunPCi. It was special card with installed x86 CPU and even separate memory.
Realy - PC on card. With Special Program it allow install windows. Realy Windows work on x86 CPU, not on SPARC.
Now all this product died many years. SPARC system more expensive. It's easy and cheap buy general PC for Windows.
Regards.
