Lion Install Problem Fix. (Bootcamp boot.ino NTFS)

Hi,
If you have problems installing lion and it gives you a message that it canot Create the support partition This fix may work for you.
I looked at the install log and found the problem was related to the installer failing to write to the boot.ini. I have a Bootcamp win xp part NTFS formatted
The two things i did to fix the problem. In osx i went into system Pref and made sure ntfs-3G was running. Then i rebooting into Windows XP. In Explorer browse to the root of your c:\ Right click on boot.ini and click proerties. Uncheck the Read Only Box hit apply and then save.
Reboot into osx. I tested to make sute txtedit could not edit the boot ini file it now could it could not do it before.
Now rerun the lion installer. This time llion Installed Fine.
Hope this helps.

Yes my Bootcamp Partition is on the same disk as my main OS.
NTFS-3G is a piece of 3rd party software. you may be able to skip this step i am not sure if it is necicerry. I think it came with parallels.
as for your second question. Dont use internet explorer. Just regular explorer. As in click Start then on computer in windows.
Before you try any of these steps try a plain install first. My macbook installed fine no problems. These steps are only for if you get the boot.ini problem that some people have been getting during the install.

  • Mountian Lion Install Problems ?

    Hi last night i backed everything to a harddrive manually i didn't use time capsule that was my first mistake then secondly i booted into CMD+R From there i formatted my harddisk as i needed a clean install second mistake.... Now i got no OSX Mountain Lion installed on my mac book pro and every time i click to install Mountain Lion it fails on the eligbility check..... Also it says mountain lion preview 3 top left of the home page of disk utility..... Also i do have Mountain lion on dvd witch i got of my mate ages ago i think its the preview disk im not sure.. So my question is how do i reinstall OSX Moutian Lion ???

    What year was your Mac made? If it is a newer unit that came with either Lion or Mountain Lion Pre-Installed then you can use the Online Internet Recovery system to install the original version of OS X that came Pre-Installed on your system.
    For some unknown reason it seems that your internal Recovery HD partition, if that is what you used to reinstall MT Lion, is pointing to some type of Pre-Release Beta version as the Preview 3 tag is displayed.
    If you used that DVD your Mate gave you then that is the reason.
    In any event you will need to start over.
    As to not using TM there is no reason to use TM if you don't want to. If you did use it and restored from it you would be back to where you started and NOT have a Clean install.
    And doing a Clean install is a good proactice if you install and remove/uninstall programs all the time. Even with OS X everytime you install then remove a program you may leave droplets of that program someplace on the drive in the form of .plist files and or some kinds of files.

  • Format Problems on Triple Boot: OSX, NTFS Data, NTFS windows

    I have a MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel with the 200Gb 7200RPM OEM drive.
    I want to have three partitions on the drive, an OSX, and two NTFS drives one for windows system and one for data. I will be getting "NTFS for Mac" by paragon. I want the data drive to be NTFS so I can use Windows SyncToy to synchronize the data between my desktop PC and the Mac.
    I used terminal to get the drive partitioned with the OSX and two MS-DOS Fat 32 drives. Windows installed and reformatted the last drive (in the drive list so bootcamp is happy) into NTFS which is 51GB. (I had to use a MS-DOS boot disk to set the last drive to active for windows to install.)
    The Problem is Windows sees the 90GB data drive and can access it, but when I try to reformat it to NTFS it gets to 99 or 100% and then Errors with "Format failed"
    I used Disk Utility in OSX (booted) to write Zeros to the data drive as some research said that might be the issue, but still the data drive will not take a reformat to NTFS. I also tried to use the WinXP install disk and its format utility but with a copy of windows on the machine there appears to be no option to format the data drive.
    Any Ideas?

    I found this article helpful, you have to modify the process somewhat but it did work: http://wiki.onmac.net/index.php/TripleBoot_viaBootCamp
    One side effect is that a TimeCapsule will not back up a NTFS partition. I have reverted to two JHFS partitions one for 10.6, one for Data, and a NTFS for Widows.

  • Macbook Core 2 duo -  lion install problems.

    I picked up a used white Macbook Core 2 Duo (2007) recently.  The person I purchased it from installed a new 60GB SSD drive and 4GB of ram and put Lion on the machine.   The computer booted fine for the first 4 times, and then on the 5th time it said "Installing OS X" and then said there was an problem with the install????    The computer was working fine before all this happened.  Now it won't boot.... BTW I did not do any any updates.
    We removed and tested the SSD drive... it appears to be fine.
    My other problem is that the person who sold the computer to me did not give me original OS disk... is it possible that the OS he used is corrupted?  But then, why would it work fine and then give me the error message after the 5th boot? 
    Is the problem because I am using an SSD? ... but still makes no sence considering it was running fine before the 5th boot! 
    Please help, I am looking at purchasing my own copy of Lion and installing it but will this work without having the original Disks?
    Thanks!
    (P.S.  When it did work, the Macbook with the SSD and Lion ran dramatically faster than my 2009 15" Macbook Pro.!)

    Thanks everyone for their help... it was another bad disk!
    I returned the OCZ HD and replaced it with an Intel SSD... The thing has been running spectacular now!  It out performs my Macbook Pro (speed)!
    FYI. 
    I did some digging and on the OCZ forums there has been A LOT of similar complaints regarding the HD failing in the same way mine did... when I took it back for a refund to the store I purchased it from, the tech said that they have been getting a lot of returns on that specific manufactures SSD's... and not just the entry level ones.
    Thanks again!

  • Clean Lion install problems

    when i try to do a clean install of lion on my 2008 macbook from usb drive, it boots into the drive then brings up a window that says "installing" then that windows closes and another comes up saying "could not install mac os x please reinstall" what can i do to fix this? Should i just install snow leopard and go from there?

    Where did this USB drive come from? However it was made, it was made incorrectly. You will need to fall back to Snow Leopard, update it to 10.6.8, then redownload the Lion installer from the App Store.
    Have you tried booting from the Recovery HD and reinstalling via Internet Recovery?
    Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
    If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
    Make Your Own Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that  you can use without having to re-download Lion.

  • Tiger/Panther install problems - won't boot from Tiger DVD or Panther CD

    My Mum has an iMac G3 CRT, running at 500MHz, with 1GB RAM, a 20GB HD, & a slot-loading internal CD-RW.
    The iMac in question is the model described here: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac500indigo.html
    She only uses the machine for email & web browsing, but because it runs OS 9, it won't run a modern web browser (it's stuck on Internet Explorer 5.1.7) so lots of websites don't load properly or work at all. This is fair enough as IE for the Mac hasn't been updated since 2001.
    My idea was to upgrade the machine from OS 9.2.2 to (ideally) 10.4.11, or failing that, 10.3.9, which would then let her use the current version of Safari, or possibly even Firefox. (Any thoughts on which would be easier for a currently IE-using technically-challenged pensioner would be welcome, although I prefer Safari myself, despite its shortcomings).
    The iMac only had it's original 128MB of RAM until recently, but I persuaded her that it would be a good idea to spend 70-odd Pounds on 1GB of RAM so that OS X could not only be installed (which would let a modern browser be used) but would run at a useable speed. The minimum requirement for Panther is 128MB of RAM, but I suspected that it would run like treacle on a 128MB G3, and I was hoping to go for Tiger anyway, which requires 256MB.
    As Tiger comes on a DVD (I have the retail/generic version) and the iMac has no DVD drive, I borrowed a friends external LaCie FireWire DVD-RW drive (the Porsche styled one). The DVD mounted first time, and the Startup Disk control panel let me select it.
    When I restarted, I got the initial OS X pale grey screen with the dark grey Apple logo in the centre, with the spinning circle thing below, but after a minute or so, I could hear the DVD stop spinning in the drive, and a few seconds later the dark grey Apple logo changed into a dark grey "circle with a line through it" logo, with the normal circle thing still spinning below. This is how things stayed for many minutes, so I just restarted with the external drive off, and eventually got back to a normal 9.2.2 boot-up.
    Next I tried running the "Mac OS X Install" application on the Tiger DVD from within 9.2.2. This started and came up with a big Tiger logo screen with a button labelled "Restart". Clicking it brought up an OS 9 error dialogue though, which said something along the lines of "the Tiger DVD cannot be selected as the startup disk" with a number 2 in brackets at the end of the error message - like this: (2)
    This error occurs both if I select the Tiger DVD in the Startup Disk control panel prior to running the "Mac OS X Install" application, or if I select the internal hard disk. I know the DVD isn't faulty, as I used it to successfully boot my own Mac (a Power Mac G4 Mirror Drive Doors) just the other day, in order to repair permissions on the startup disk.
    At this point I gave up on Tiger and tried to use the first of 3 Panther CDs that I have. These 3 CDs are burnt copies that came with my own Mac and contain version 10.3.2.
    The CD refused to be selectable in the Startup Disk control panel. It's icon was greyed out, and so I couldn't boot from it. I tried running the "Install Mac OS X" application on the CD from within OS 9, but got the same error with the 2 in brackets when I clicked the "Restart" button, just like with the Tiger DVD.
    Initially, I suspected that these Panther discs might be machine-specific, rather than the retail/generic version, because of the first CD being greyed-out in the Startup Disk control panel, but then the error dialogue that matched the one I got when I tried the Tiger DVD makes me think that my Panther CDs might be generic after all. Examining the first CD on my own Mac, it appears to be generic, but I'm not 100% sure, as the CDs are copies and as such don't have the usual identifying information on the labels. There are no machine-specific files that I can find on the first CD, which is dated January 9th 2004.
    Various websites mention that when Tiger was current, Apple would swap a retail copy of the DVD for a set of CDs. I've looked on eBay but not been able to find any. This doesn't surprise me though, as there will be very few copies of Tiger on CD out there, and even fewer copies that people would want to sell.
    There are a few retail copies of Panther available on CD, but if my current burnt copies of these discs are in fact generic, then buying a new set would make no difference. Besides, I'd prefer to use Tiger.
    The Tiger minimum requirements (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1514) say:
    "To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs: DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation"
    What it doesn't say though, is whether the DVD drive has to be an internal one with Apple firmware/modifications, or whether an external 3rd party one will do. However, I know from various websites that it's possible to load Tiger onto this sort of Mac, and sometimes even older non-FireWire Macs, despite what the minimum system requirements say.
    If anyone has any suggestions I'd be much obliged!
    Thanks.

    The problem is now solved, but I'm not sure how I managed it, unfortunately.
    Having read the article at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75430, I checked both my Tiger DVD and my first Panther CD, and neither had the firmware updater on them, despite what the article said, so I downloaded it. However I was sure I'd applied a firmware update to the iMac a long time ago, and the 4.1.9 version number seemed familiar.
    When I checked, I had in fact already applied the firmware update a few years ago!
    I tried running the "Mac OS X Install" application on the Tiger DVD from within 9.2.2 again, and got the same error message as before. I was wrong about the error code though. It was minus 2 in brackets, not 2 in brackets.
    The full text of the error message is:
    An error occurred.
    "Startup Disk was unable to select the
    install CD as the startup disk. (-2)"
    I tried selecting the DVD manually in the Startup Disk control panel (as before) and running the application again gave the same error message (also as before).
    I then went into Extensions Manager to see if there was anything there that might be interfering with things. The only thing that caught my eye was the LaCie SilverLining control panel (which I think was version 6.4.5a). This was something that originally came on a floppy disk accompanying an external hard drive that I used to use years ago at a place I worked, and I used to find it invaluable back in the OS 9 G1 Power Mac magneto-optical external drive days!
    I couldn't remember what it was doing on the iMac, but I switched it off, and then clicked "Restart", hoping that when I rebooted (in OS 9) the error message wouldn't come up when I ran the "Mac OS X Install" application.
    However, I'd forgotten that I'd switched the Startup Disk control panel to the DVD, so when the iMac restarted, the initial OS X dark grey Apple logo screen appeared, and I expected the dark grey "circle with a line through it" logo to appear shortly afterwards, but it didn't! The iMac booted up from the DVD, which then let me install Tiger! I was then able to apply the 10.4.11 update, plus all the others that Software Update provided. About half a dozen restarts and several hours later, the iMac is now fully updated & configured, favourites are copied over to Safari 3.1.2, and all I have to do is teach my Mum how to use the OS X Finder, Mail & Safari, as opposed to the OS 9 Finder, Outlook Express & Internet Explorer...
    Switching off the SilverLining control panel seemed to do the trick, but since the iMac then rebooted from the DVD, not the internal hard disk, I don't see how it could have possibly had any bearing on things! Very weird!
    Anyway, thanks to Allan Jones & spudnuty for their advice. All's well that ends well!

  • Mountain Lion Install Problems

    Hello, everyone! I (obviously) recently bought Mountain Lion (or ML) and am having problems. I have looked around for support, but to no avail.
    Here's the problem:
         When I installed ML from the App Store, it took time to download, and I was excited for the install! When I opened it up, I agreed to the liscence agreement, and pressed next. When I clicked on the Macintosh HD, it (to the left of the Macintosh HD) said, "This disk cannot be used to start up your computer." I pressed back, then next, and the popup was still there, and under OSX Mountain Lion it said, "OS X cannot be installed on 'Macintosh HD'." I am frustrated, and have been searching for the solution today, and no one has the same problem.
    Side Note - Disk Utility was looked at, and I tried to verify the disk, and its permissions, and it told me to repair it, and I had to stop it at one point. I am very cautious and careful about my data! Please help me, and be nice! Thanks.
    -Vemir
    P.S. If you need any information about my MacBook Pro, please let me know, and where the information is. I checked the compatibility list for ML, and it seems to check out. I also completed any software updates. Thanks again!

    Anyone having a problem installing Mountain Lion becasue youget an error that this disk is used for Time Machine backup then you should follow the instructions at this link:http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2986
    If the spot light search does not find backups.backupdb folder then Click on Finder menu the tool bar then open preferences. Click on Sidebar icon at the top and under Devices to check the box next to your machine name. Now open finder, under devices, click on your machine name. You should now see the backups.backupdb folder. Follow the instruction from aboe link and you should be good to go. Good Luck!

  • Mac osx lion install problem

    when i install osx lion on my mac it installs perfectly until it has to restart i get a do not enter sign then i am forced into installing snow leopard please help

    you bought a computer iwth the smaller SSD and you could swap SSD out  for 120GB or larger.
    60GB is not going to provide enough storage for both Windows 7 and Lion.
    Also, good to have some free overhead space for an SSD to manage its own 'garbage'
    http://www.macsales.com/ssd
    They have kits to allow you to swap yours - not sure but they are the best in Mac and SSD support - so you can clone and keep things nice, and even use your current SSD either external drive case for it or in some Macs with 2nd internal SSD

  • Easy to install Lion with BootCamp + Win 8 + NTFS partition for data?

    Hey, I have a MacBook Pro (2011) currently on OS X 10.6.8, but I bought Lion 10.7 and want to use that.
    Here's what I want to do:
    * install Lion (fresh, not upgrade)
    * install BootCamp
    * install Win 8 (DevEd) (for games and some other apps)
    And here are my questions:
    1) What's the best (free) way to save/"ghost" the current OS so I can quickly get back to that in case something happens when I install Lion?
    2) What order do I install BootCamp and Win 8 in? Any fool-proof tutorial for how to do this?
    3) If I do a backup with Time Machine as the last thing I do before installing Lion, I just copy the data back from the TM drive after install, right?
    4) I would like to use Win 8 and some programs there to read and write to the HFS+ OS X partition - is there a free and/or good way to do that?
    5) On PC I can use WinAmp, the great plugin "DeleteCurrentSong" and a shortcut key to delete the currently playing track. Is there a way to do something similar in any program in OS X?
    6) If not, would it be possible to - early in the install process - make a big NTFS partition and put most of my data there so it can be accessed from both OS X (with Paragon) and Windows? And Time Machine wouldn't back it up as long as it's NTFS, right?
    Thanks a lot for any answers!

    Answer to question 1:
    a. Get a USB disc the same size or better larger than your internal HD
    b. Download Carbon Copy Cloner (free)
    c. Clone the internal HD to the external disc
    d. Reboot with the 'option' key held down. Choose the external disc to check that the clone was successful and is bootable.
    e. If yes, reboot again, hodling down the 'option' key. Choose the internal HDD.
    f. Dismount/eject the external HD and disconnect it from your computer.
    g. Go to app store and download Lion.
    h. When the download is complete, DO NOT run it. First, copy the file (Applications > Lion Install.app) to another location on your disc (the downloads folder will do). This is because after you run the installer it will delete itself from the Applications folder, and you may very well either want/need to do a re-install later without wanting to wait for hours for the download.
    i. Run Applications > Lion Install.app

  • Lion and snow leopard bootcamp, after installing lion snow leopard bootcamp with windows 7 does not boot

    Just installed Lion OS  on my 2nd mac (on the 1st without an issue) but as I had a partition with windows 7 (installed with Snow Leopard bootcamp).
    It seems that Lion OS renamed the Bootcamp partition but I am not able to rename it through OS.
    Is there a solution for this or do I need to re-install?
    Many thanks for your help
    Rui

    Hi Jack.........ok ive managed to create a link to that video on how to install bootcamp.....this is the tutorial i used and i managed to gain 100% completion on bootcamp 1st time no messing......like i said in my previous reply did you save the windows support files from apple....(Critical).....ok no point in messing about i suggest you start again from scratch........these are the things i used and YOU will need to complete bootcamp
    mem stick or cd-r / dvd-r......original copy disc of win 7 ...i never used an iso i used original disc....allow a minimum of 30gb of space for your win 7 partition.....if you want bootcamp so you can use big programs like windows based games i.e.....Crysis/Call of duty etc etc ..then you will need to consider that  you will need to allow a bigger partition to allow your HD to store the files.....this is the reason i installed bootcamp and so i made my partition    i have a 750GB HD so i made a partition of 300gb for windows 7 and left the other 450gb for Mac....so you need to partition enough for what you want bootcamp for remember once you get bootcamp working you will need to install ALL Important Windows updates Including Win 7 SP1......once everything is installed you will have bootcamp up and running lovely.....u can then boot up with either win7 or mac......click this link and watch carefully and do exactly as shown ok and you should be fine...if you have any probs contact me again ok.....let me know how you get on ok..:)...http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp&v=QFIWtXTl4d0&NR=1
