Leopard Install DVD empty in Windows XP using BootCamp

I recently installed Windows XP using BootCamp.
The problem is Windows XP reconises the Leopard Install DVD, but it says there is no data on it.
Conclusion, I can't install my drivers.

Juize:
Is it possible that you have Macdrive installed? If yes then please click [HERE|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1196009] as this has the solution for it. If you do not have Macdrive installed then please let us know.

  • Windows 7 does not read drivers on my OS Snow Leopard Install dvd

    When I start the DVD and the setup.exe I get 2 options - Remote Install Mac OS X and DVD or CD Sharing, no drivers are being downloaded or appear to be on the DVD.
    Any ideas, please help.

    Ok, after 3 sleepness nights I have found a solution and finally have a working Windows 7 Ultimate. I hope this will be helpful for everyone having similar issues and not have to go through the same nightmare.
    Right away after logging in Windows for the first time insert the original Snow Leopard Install DVD and if Windows does not read it or install any drivers after clicking on setup.exe do the following:
    Right-click on Start » Programs » Accessories » Command Prompt
    Select Run as Administrator
    Type cd /d D:, then press Enter
    Type cd Boot Camp\Drivers\Apple, then press Enter
    Type BootCamp64.msi, then press Enter
    If you do not how to right click before installing the drivers the following:
    Click on Start
    Enter cmd in the search box
    Instead of hitting the Enter key use Ctrl + Shift + Enter and will open a dialog box
    Click Yes at the prompt and you will be running as an administrator.
    If you do not have the original install DVD go the this link and follow the instructions(including the ones from the last comment):

  • HT4407 When installing Windows 7 using Bootcamp, I get message: "Need 64-bit Windows Installation USB drive or DVD."  I thought my install disk was for 32 or 64 bit.  What does this mean?

    It means you need the 64 bit Version of Windows on a USB stick or DVD.

  • Can I Sell OSX Leopard Install DVD That I'm No Longer Using?

    From what I understand (and from what I see on eBay/Craigslist) I can resell my OS X Leopard Install DVD as long as it's not currently installed on any computer.
    Does anyone know where this is in writing?
    I just had my listing removed from eBay due to a complaint from some organization that it was an illegal sale.
    However, my listing had my own photo and no quotes from anyone else. It's the retail copy of the Leopard Install DVD that I bought -- not bootlegged or burned from an original! It's not currently installed on any computer.
    I want to send the written statement to eBay so I can relist my not-needed Leopard DVD.
    Thanks.

    Legally if you are no longer using the operating system on your computer yes you can. If you are still using the operating system or have updated to 10.6 Snow Leopard, then NO.
    The disk is your End User License Agreement (EULA) and once you sell your disk you also transfer the EULA and no longer own the product. Hence you no longer can legally use the product.
    The Snow Leopard is considered by Apple as an "upgrade" and requires the EULA of 10.5 (unless you purchased the "Snow Leopard Box Set".

  • HT3910 Restore old Mac using Mac OS X Snow Leopard Install DVD

    When I try to restore my old Mac, which I am preparing to sell, using the Mac OS X Snow Leopard Install DVD (OS X 10.6.8), I hear the optical disc drive spin up and down, then the disc is ejected.  This is the same thing that happens with its original OS X Install DVD, which was OS X 10.4.9.

  • Backup of Leopard Install DVD with disk utility

    I'm in the process of saving a disk image from the Leopard Install DVD, but I'd like to be sure I did it right by selecting the Leopard Install partition on the sidebar in Disk Utility, rather than the drive itself. I did so because when I tried it with the drive itself it offered a default name as the name of my dvd drive "Matshita" rather than anything specific to the disk.
    I'd also like to be sure the windows drivers are there, so before I waste an hour burning and tossing the result, the question is do I select the drive or the partition to image?

    Run the disk utility and select the disk and then select New Image. You will create and image on your desktop.
    I used cdr rather than dmg.
    I also used Toast8 to burn the image to a DVD
    Be sure you are using a dual-layer DVD and your burner supports it.
    I successfully burned a backup this way, and yes, it does contain the Windows drivers as well as Leopard.

  • PowerBook G4 spits out Mac OS 10.5 Leopard Install DVD

    I bought Mac OS X Leopard and wanted to install it on my PowerBook G4 however it spits it straight back out of the disc drive. I tried to restart the computer and hold down C - this did not work either. When I test it out on my PowerPC the installation setup folder appears and it works. (I bought the Family Pack). How can I setup my PowerBook G4 so it will except Mac OS X Leopard Install DVD? Do I have to reinstall my original computer operating system, wipe my hard-drive and start again? Why didn't APPLE say there was a problem with PowerBook G4?

    There's a few ways you can install Leopard on that powerbook. I'm assuming your powerbook meets the requirements.
    If you have a firewire drive handy>on another PPC Mac using Disk Utility, partition the firewire drive or don't your choice>choose in Disk Utility options APM ie Apple Partition Mapping>have the Leopard DVD on the desktop, do not boot from the Leopard DVD disc>use the Disk Utility restore function>select the name of the Leopard disc as the "source" ie drag it to the source window>drag the name of the destination partition to the "destination" window select apply. Once done you can boot into that Leopard "installer" partition and install to your powerbook. This method is much faster than using the optical disc.

  • Is it possible to make a copy of the Leopard install DVD?

    Is it possible to make a copy of the Leopard install DVD? If so, is there a special way this has to be done? I just found out that we needed to use the Leopard install DVD to recover a complete backup from Time Machine after a recent hard drive failure. We have the family pack of Leopard, so I would like to keep the original at home and send a copy when my daughter goes off to college in case she needs to recover again. Her machine was originally a Tiger MacBook, so those install disks will not work. If it is not possible to copy the DVD, is there a way to create a bootable utility to do a time machine recovery?

    This half-solved my problem. I have had no problems creating a backup copy for my intel based computers, but non-intel based computers are problematic; a G5 powermac tower and a G4 Powerbook. Both with super drives for single density burning. Both have Leopard running, installed from an install disc purchased from Apple. However, neither will mount the copy, but intel based computers will. have burnt/burned with both toast 9 and Disc Utility. Discs won't mount and are "spit out" by the drive.

  • My Leopard install DVD is getting caught in a loop

    I'm having a problem with my Leopard install DVD. I'm running Leopard 10.5.7, and I wanted to use Disk Utility, so I inserted the intall DVD, double clicked the icon, and pressed enter to restart using the disk.
    What happened next was the computer restarted, gave me the chime, went to a gray screen with no apple logo or spinning gear, then restarted and looped this same sequence repeatedly. I've checked the surface of the install DVD and it seems undamaged, so my only conclusion is that something software related is happening. Anyone else run into this?
    The install DVD is version 10.5.1.

    Okay, so I used Disk Utility on the internal drive to verify and then repair permissions (long list). Then I attempted to verify the disk and got a message saying Disk First Aid Failed and the following info in the history: Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
    Performing live verification.
    Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
    Checking Extents Overflow file.
    Checking Catalog file.
    Checking multi-linked files.
    Checking Catalog hierarchy.
    Checking Extended Attributes file.
    Checking volume bitmap.
    Checking volume information.
    Invalid volume file count
    (It should be 956726 instead of 956732)
    Invalid volume directory count
    (It should be 233009 instead of 233003)
    The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
    Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed.
    After that, I put the install disk in and restarted holding the shift key. Got the gray screen for a long time (DVD seemed to be doing something), and then the computer restarted. This time I held down the option key, got the Startup Manager and selected the install disk. And away we went with the gray screen loop again. I let it try to restart from the install disk 6 times before holding down the eject button and ejecting the install disk which allowed the 'puter to boot from from the internal drive.
    And that's where I stand.

  • HT4407 Hey, I am unable to install windows 7 using 'bootcamp 5.0' . I have already partitioned the drive as (mac Os Extended Journaled) and yet it seems bootcamp won't acknowledge this?

    Hey, I am unable to install windows 7 using 'bootcamp 5.0' . I have already partitioned the drive as (mac Os Extended Journaled) and yet it seems bootcamp won't acknowledge this?
    My first thoughts were that 'bootcamp' was out of date...needed an upgrade to register windows 7. Since then I am once again met with the same problem... how can it not see the I have already have a paritioned drived ready to be used for installition, is there a way to fix this problem? I don't really want to pay out for 'i-parition' only to merge my 2 drives back into one and start again from scratch =/. Seems silly to do so...what are my options?
    Regards Swishi...p.s If anyone can help me...it'll make my day :3.

    ONE PARTITION.
    You don't need to buy anything but you should have backups.
    you can delete #2 you created. Then resize to full drive.
    There are already
    GPT
    EFI
    Mac
    Recovery
    and there needs to be Windows which cannot be higher ID

  • Backlight shuts off when booted on Leopard Install DVD

    Booting my macbook pro on the optical drive (by holding the "C" key at power up),with the Leopard install DVD causes the backlight on the display to shut off. Reboot with the OS on the hard disk (OS 10.4) and the display works fine. Playing with the screen brightness keys has no effect on the backlight when booted on the DVD. I also did a pmu reset (remove battery and hold the power button for 5 seconds) The display functions normally during regular use, It only happened when booted on the leopard install DVD. I was able to complete the install with a 2nd display connected to the dvi port and the display now works properly when booted under 10.5. Just wondering if anyone has seen this behavior or has an idea of the cause.

    I have the same issue. Can some one please help? Thanks

  • Cannot boot from Leopard Install DVD

    Now that I know I have to archive and install (based on a previous post), I'm trying to boot off of my Leopard Install DVD. I put it in the drive when starting up, hold down "C", and nothing happens. I end up booting from the hard drive and getting stuck again. I reboot the computer, try again, and again, nothing. Finally, I pressed "option" on boot-up, got the boot menu, the DVD appeared after a moment, and I clicked on it. I could hear the drive spin-up, then nothing happened. It went to the hard drive again and got stuck in its reboot loop.
    The drive should be fine, as I've been using it for normal purposes lately (including ripping music off of my CDs yesterday). Is there any other reason that an OS X Leopard Install DVD wouldn't boot properly? Is it the DVD itself? Or might there be another reason?
    Thank you,
    Joel

    If the MacBook Pro was released on or after October 26, 2007, it can't use the 10.5.0 retail installer.
    If the MacBook Pro was released on or after November 15, 2007, it can't use the 10.5.1 retail installer.
    If the MacBook Pro was released on or after June 30, 2008, it can't use the 10.5.4 retail installer.
    If the MacBook Pro was released on or after January 2009, it can't use the 10.5.6 retail installer.
    If the MacBook Pro was released before October 26, 2007, it must use the retail 10.5 installers to install 10.5.
    Otherwise it can only use the installer discs which shipped with it to install 10.5.
    * is the retail installer disc label, which in fine print will say the update version of 10.5 included with that disc.
    If you are missing the discs that came with the machine, and you bought the machine from an authorized service center contact AppleCare for replacement discs at a nominal fee.
    Otherwise contact the seller, who should have given you the discs when he sold you the machine.
    The discs include iLife, and a hardware test that you can't otherwise get with the retail installer discs for Leopard alone. A bundled iLife/Leopard 10.5.6 exists today called the Mac Box Set.

  • How to install windows 8 using bootcamp with no optical drive

    Hi,
    I have a mac book pro 17" late 2011 with Mountain Lion installed.
    I have previously installed a windows 7 using bootcamp without an optical drive by creating an install disk as part of boot camp option.
    I still don't have an optical drive.
    The other day I removed my Windows 7 since I want to try Windows 8 but when I try using boot camp to install windows 8 it is asking for an optical drive and the option to create an install disk is not available anymore.
    Any idea on this issue?
    Thanks much

    It should be straight forward and no different, except you are burning an ISO and that always needs to be done at slowest burn speed for any version of Windows.Otherwise it won't work (even if it manages to install it will fail on restart or some other point).

  • How can I install Mac Mini drivers for Windows 7 32-bit if I didn't install Windows 7 using bootcamp?

    Hello. I have a mac-mini (mid 2010) and with bootcamp, was successfully running XP.
    I then decided to upgraded to Windows 7 had lots of trouble installing it on my existing bootcamp partition.
    I finally was able to install Windows 7, by just booting off the CD and letting it install that way.
    But reading more on it, I think I was supposed to use Bootcamp to do it for me...
    I had thought the Bootcamp Assistant was for only fresh installs of a Windows O.S. where no partitiion existed previously.
    I had a partition so thought Bootcamp wasn't required for my needs.
    But now, inside Windows 7, I have 0 drivers installed. I have an AirPort Express, so on the Mac side, I downloaded
    and installed the Windows version of AirPort Utility and copied it to my USB stick. Then
    I exported my settings to a text file on a USB Stick, then on Windows was able to successfully install AirPort Utility and import the settings.
    But it still doesn't find my network. I am pretty sure I'm broadcasting my SSID...
    So I need to know the following:
    1) How to know I'm broadcasting my SSID - where do I find this in settings?
    2) How I can install my mac-mini drivers on Windows 7 so I can use my existing wireless network, now that I've gone through the installation without using Bootcamp?
    3) Do I need to set up network adapters and all that stuff in Windows 7 first? If so, how and what drivers do I need?
    One other thing I tried was downloading Bootccamp 4.x and installing that on Windows 7 to see if it gives me the drivers that were supposed to be written to my USB stick if I had installed Windows 7 using Bootcamp in the first place... However I think the message it said was that it couldn't install as it was the wrong version. So I'm still stuck without drivers and therefore no internet.
    And that is my main task - getting the Internet up and running in Windows 7.
    Other Info:
    I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8 with 2 GB of memory.
    I installed the 32-bit version of Windows 7 and I don't know what version of Bootcamp I'm running...
    I can tell you that BootCamp Assistant is v3.0.4, but don't know if that means Bootcamp is also 3.0.4.
    Hope you can help.
    Thanks.

    I tried something that worked for me...
    Knowing that after my install of Windows 7 wasn't the correct method (didn't go through bootcamp), and the BootCamp 4.x package wouldn't install under windows 7, I tried reinstalling Bootcamp 4.x in Windows 7 to see what the exact message was it gave me. The message said it couldn't install because of a 32-bit O.S. vs a 64-bit version of the package.
    So that got me thinging - my XP version was 32-bit, and so is my Windows 7 installation. So I tried installing the bootcamp that came with my Mac OS X installation CD. This is bootcamp version 3.1.
    Not only did it install, but it practically took care of everything driver-wise for me. I was then able to see my wireless network, enter my password and I was connected. The only thing else I had to do to get on the Internet was bring IE8 online (guess it ships offline by default). Firewall and Antivirus are now installed, just a few more things to go.
    That's one thing that's just not clear that I'll be sure to note for next time... The Bootcamp packages you download are actually driver packages for Windows. That is where the Windows drivers exists that are necessary to make your Windows 7 PC work on a bootcamp partition!
    I didn't need the AirPoirt Utility at all (at least, I never went into it).
    Thanks VikingOSX for your post. I will not need to follow the steps you provided, but they may help someone else as all of these bootcamp issues I've been reading seem to be very unique per installation.
    Hopefully my solution helps others.

  • Installing Windows 7 using bootcamp help

    Hi all,
    I am planning to install windows 7 using bootcamp to play PC games only, as love mac software for everything else, and want to make sure that all will run smoothly before i buy the required stuff.
    I am running OSX 10.8.5 on my iMac, which has a wireless keyboard, wireless trackpad, and wireless mouse, and a connected external superdireve (for CD's and disks, sorry to patronise just wanting to be clear ) and wanted to know if i can install windows using a disk that i buy in a normal pack, as i have heard that the external drives can have problems?
    All advice much appreciated!

    this will install as normal. before installing however you will need an activation key cos in win 7 this is one of the first pages that is presented before instalation.
    the key from your relative could possibly work especially if he used your internet connection to register. but this could cause problems with his/your authenticity after 30 days.
    the only other option is to purchase a key.
    you say a 30 day trial, does it give you a temporary key for this?
