Locked Up Installing Windows 7

I tried to use a full install 32 bit dvd to install Windows 7 on my vintage 2007 Core 2 Duo iMac AL and am in trouble.  The iMac has SL 10.6.8  installed and a full software update was performed before starting the W7 exercise.  The W7 installation failed because the intended 50g partition was not NTFS formatted.  The Option Start technique did not work, no opportunity was provided to select the OSX partition for start up.  After repeated attempts I was able to boot into Windows with enough control to eject the W7 dvd.  I inserted my full install SL dvd hoping to use it for startup.
Now the iMac tries to boot into W7 and displays a "No bootable device - insert boot disc . s, ," message.  I cannot eject the SL dvd and cannot get an OSX boots using the Option start technique, or any of a number of key combinations I have tried.
Any ideas?  I had reformatted the HD to zeros shortly before starting the W7 thing so I am not concerned about losing data.

Fixed it!
After at least a day of considering various options, several of which could easily have been destructive, I got the iMac to working again.  Thinking it might respond to a PC keyboard, I tried one.  Nothing worked.  When I plugged the Apple keyboard back in the iMac started with an 'Option Start'.  Some where along the line it had lost registry with the wired keyboard.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • Cannot install windows 8.1 on imac 5k - apple support says "Correct, that machine can't install windows" Boot camp fail

    I have a brand new imac 5k, with 4ghz i7, 295x GPU, 3.1TB fusion drive.  Bought the machine so I could dual boot - I need windows for VR Dev work.
    I've spent the last week and a half on tech support calls with Apple Senior Tech agents, and Microsoft agents as well, and today have been told that indeed this machine cannot run windows 8.1.  Apparently Apple engineering knows about the issue, but says the problem is microsoft's.  Ugh.
    The latest iteration of the issue comes when installing 8.1 onto an external thunderbolt SSD (without even using boot camp) - I go through the EFI installer, convert the drive to GPT, format it as ntfs, but when I select the partition to install onto, the installer says it can't find the partition it just created.  Smuh? 
    I've also tried the install through boot camp.  This installation actually worked twice, but the install was unstable.  After booting back into osX, then returning to Windows, the windows install went corrupt and couldn't be repaired.  Subsequent attempts to install windows yielded a flurry of different errors, including "windows doesn't support GPT in this mode" or "the disk is locked, please unlock the disk" or "MBR must be converted to GPT" (where once I converted to GPT, the drive could no longer be found, despite the operation completing successfully.)
    At any rate, it's a huge mess.  I'd happily return the machine for a different config, but the company I bought it from will only swap it for a similar model -- so I've spent a pile on a machine that does not function as advertised; apple says "too bad, talk to Microsoft." Microsoft says "too bad, we've never seen this, this is an apple issue."
    Has anyone out there gotten windows up and running on an iMac5k with fusion drive?  If so, did you have to go through a crazy maze to make it work?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    MC

    After much gnashing of teeth, and a half dozen support calls, I'd all but given up.  I finally seem to have solved this though - sort of - by installing windows 8.1 on boot camp on an older iMac, then cloning the bootcamp disk to an external thunderbolt drive via Winclone.  That worked seamlessly, sticking to winclone's instructions, and I can boot via EFI to Windows 8.1 on the new iMac.  So far so good.
    I usually install W8.1 via EFI by using DU and a Free Space partition. The 3TB Fusion is first split into the underlying SSD/HDD physicals. OSX and Windows OSes are installed on SSD via EFI (no BCA). The OSX part and half the HDD are then used to create a new CS volume. The other HDD half becomes NTFS for non-Windows OS files. The Hybrid MBR method is completely unsatisfactory with the 3TB Fusion drive.
    How is the TB/Winclone image for performance of the OS (since pagefile.sys is also on the TB)?

  • How to install Windows 7/Vista as 2nd OS and retain predesktop environment (service partition)

    This is a step-by-step instruction how to install Windows Vista or Windows 7 as a second OS on a Lenovo Thinkpad that originally shipped with Windows XP AND how to retain the access to the Lenovo Service Partition.
    I have been searching the internet for instructions like these but could not find anything useful. So I am posting it
    here. Maybe this helps other users.
    I have tested the procedure below with installation of Windows Vista Ultimate (64bit) and Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit). I believe that the procedure will also work with the 32bit versions of these OSs. I am not totally convinced that this works when the OS to install is Windows XP (64bit or 32bit). XP has a completely different boot sequence compared to Vista or 7. The basic steps would remain the same, but the XP setup is less forgiving when it finds an unknown partition. If somebody wants to try it out, please post your results as a reply to this forum entry.
    Never never never try to install an older OS (like Windows 2000 or NT) as a second OS when XP is already installed! This is doomed to fail.
    The procedure below does NOT work for Linux installations. I am not a Linux wizard, but any Linux bootmanager I know about is incompatible with the Lenovo Service Partition.
    The procedure was tested on a Thinkpad R61 model 8918-B9G. It should work similar on other models.
    You definitely need a service partition with Rescue&Recovery version 4. It will NOT work with older versions of R&R or if the service partition is not a type12 partition (see below how to find out about that).
    I assume that the harddisk partitions are unmodified, i.e. still have factory settings. This is likely the case if you
    never attempted any OS install or recovery action. If this is not the case, the procedure may or may not work.
    You also need a bootable CD with a tool that can change the size of your current system partition. I was using gparted live version 0.5.2-9. ( http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ )
    Everything you do is at your own risk. I am in no way related to Lenovo, other than being a customer using their
    products.
    Step 1) Make a full backup of your harddisk. Get yourself recovery CDs for your Thinkpad model if you don't have any. The changes we are about to make can completely screw up your harddrive. A typo is sufficient for that to happen.
    Step 2) Power on the system. Check that you can boot into the Service Partition by pressing the Thinkvantage button when the startup screen appears. (Older systems may have a differently named button.) If there is a problem booting the service partition now, it is likely that the rest of this procedure will not fix it.
    Step 3) From the service partition choose 'Warmstart' to reboot the system. Reboot Windows XP, logon.
    Open a command prompt. CD to the following directory:
    \Program Files\Common Files\Lenovo\BMGR
    On a german language system (like mine) it is
    \Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\Lenovo\BMGR
    If you have an older IBM system the directory may be named
    \Program Files\Common Files\IBM\BMGR
    or something like that. Maybe you need to search around.
    In the following, I will call this the "BMGR dir".
    Enter the following command:
    bmgr32 /info /v
    You should get an output similar to this:
    C:\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\Lenovo\BMGR>bmgr32 /info /v

    The important thing to look for is the 0x12 partition type in the partition table at the bottom. This is the service
    partition. If you do not have a 0x12 partition, then you can stop here because the rest of the procedure will not work
    for you.
    Step 4) Shutdown and boot gparted from CD. Shrink the system partition to the desired size. Do NOT touch the service partition! Do NOT attempt to create another partition! Leave the new white space on the disk untouched! Apply changes and restart the system.
    Step 5) Reboot XP. gparted has set the NTFS dirty bit. This will cause XP to run a full CHKDSK. Depending on how much files there are on the partition this may take considerable time. Let CHKDSK run to completion. When CHKDSK finishes, the system will automatically reboot.
    Step 6) XP reboots now. Logon. When loading the desktop, XP will show a popup window, stating that system settings have been changed and new devices been discovered and that the system should be rebooted. This is ok. XP actually recognized the shrunk system partition and applied the necessary changes to its own system parameters. Click YES to reboot the system.
    Step 7) XP reboots. Logon. Open a command prompt, CD to the BMGR dir and enter:
    bmgr32 /info /v
    The output you get should be similar to the output you have seen in step 3, except that the partition 0 size column
    shows a smaller value.
    Step 8) Shutdown, restart. Check that you can still access the service partition by pressing the blue Thinkvantage button when the system startup screen appears.
    Step 9) From the predesktop environment choose warmstart. Reboot XP. Logon, logoff, shutdown.
    DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!!! If you start the Windows Vista/7 install right after shutting down from the predesktop
    environment, the Win Vista/7 setup program will screw up your harddisk! The Lenovo MBR bootmgr reboot takes two steps for completion. The first step is the shutdown and the second step is executed when booting from harddisk. A boot from the Windows CD will skip this second step and disaster finds its way...
    Step 10) Insert the Windows Vista/7 DVD and boot it. Start the setup. Choose "Custom (advanced)" install. It will show the partitions on the disk. Select the white space (unallocated). Click on "disk options (advanced)". Click on "New" to create a new partition in the white space. Keep the default size, click "Apply". Click "Format". A popup window appears stating that the partition may hold OEM data. Continue. Click "Next". Installation starts.
    Continued in the second post...

    Step 11) Win Vista/XP will reboot several times during installation. You will always see the Windows bootmanager with an entry for "Earlier Windows version" and "Windows Vista/7". DO NOT DARE to touch the blue Thinkvantage button on any reboot or press any function keys!
    Step 12) When the installation is finished, check that you can successfully reboot Win Vista/7 by selecting it from the Windows bootmanager.
    Step 13) Reboot XP by choosing "Earlier Windows version" from the Windows bootmanager. Open a command prompt. CD to the BMGR dir. Enter the following command:
    bmgr32 /info /v
    The output will now look like this:
    C:\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\Lenovo\BMGR>bmgr32 /info /v

    startLBA and size will of course differ, depending on the actual partition sizes you have set. Note that Windows setup moved the service partition to entry 2 of the partition table. If you do not see the 0x12 partition then stop here.
    Otherwise the following step will likely screw up you harddisk.
    Enter the following command (case sensitive?):
    bmgr32 /Fbootmgr.bin /m0 /IBM /v

    So you have actually regained the Lenovo bootmanager. But you are not done yet.
    Step 14) Shutdown. Restart the system. DO NOT PRESS THE BLUE THINKVANTAGE BUTTON AT THE SYSTEM STARTUP SCREEN!!! IT DOES NOT WORK YET! When the system startup screen DISAPPEARS, quickly press F11 (maybe several times). The system should now boot the predesktop environment from the service partition.
    Step 15) When the predesktop is there, choose "warmstart". When the system startup screen appears, press the blue Thinkvantage button. The system should again boot into the predesktop. The blue Thinkvantage button now works permanently.
    Step 16) Check that you can boot Win XP and Win Vista/7 from the Windows bootmanager. You're done!

    start setup, reboot, continue
    the farthest i can get is 'registering components/completing installation' i either get a blue screen stop error which isnt the same everytime, or it just locks up and doesnt do anything.
    ran the memtest checker and get errors on test #4
    i had a DIMM of kingston that gave the same errors, so i RMA'd it and got another. same errors, so i RMA'd again and got a Crucial stick. same errors.

  • Can not install Windows 8.1 to a Bitlocker Pre-Provisioned volume

    Hello,
    I'll come straight to the point. What I'm trying to do is to install Windows 8.1 Enterprise to a Pre-Provisioned volume but Windows does not let me do that. The steps I've performed are.
    With Microsoft ADK I created me a WinPE media which has the components installed to get the manage-bde command working. I used the article hxxp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh824926.aspx for that.
    I prepared an USB stick with the manage-bde components on it and booted my test laptop with it.
    Started diskpart and used commens in order to get a new clean partition:
    Select Disk 0
    clean
    Create Partition Primary
    Format fs=ntfs quick
    Assign letter=c
    exit
    After that I pre-provisioned the volume with the command:
    manage-bde -on -used c:
    When I check with manage-bde -status it states that:
    Conversion Status: Used Space Only encrypted
    Percentage: 100
    Protection Status: Protection Off
    Lock Status: Unlocked
    Identification Field: Unknown
    Automatic Unlock: Disabled

    OK. After that I use the net use command to map a network share with the Windows 8.1 x64 Enterprise installation media itself. I execute setup.exe without any parameters.
    I can navigate all the way through the dialog "Where do you want to install Windows?". I can see there now "Drive0Partition 1" with a Total size of 119.2 GB and almost as many free space BUT when I select it and click next there comes
    only a warning dialog saying:
    We couldn't not create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup log files."
    The best description of the problem I've found from the file x:\windows\panther\setupact.log where are lines like:
    BLOCKING reason for disk 0 offset bla bla is either "The partition is too small" (????) or "Bitlocker Drive Encyption is enabled on the selected partition".
    What I am missing here? Is there a special trick how to get Windows installed on a pre-provisioned drive? I also loaded the correct driver for the disk controller but no help. As soon as I clean the disk and create the partition new without pre-provisioning
    I can install Windows without any problems.
    Sorry for the long text. Hope someone of you has an idea.
    Regards
    Robert

    Hi,
    For this issue,when you assign letter,you need to mark a partition as active.
    Using a command line
    1.Open Command Prompt.
    2.Type: diskpart
    3.At the DISKPART prompt, type: list partition
    Make note of the number of the partition that you want to mark as active.
    4.At the DISKPART prompt, type: select partitionn
    Select the partition, n, you want to mark as active.
    5.At the DISKPART prompt, type:
    active
    Hope this helps.

  • Tutorial: Installing Windows XP 64-bit

    After the fairly crappy time I had installing the 64 bit version of Win XP on my computer and peicing together various bits of information contained in various threads on this board in order to make it work, I've decided that I'm going to attempt to write as complete a tutorial as possible detailing the install process from beginning to end in hopes that it helps prevent people from running into the same problems I did.  Anyways:
    Step 1 - Acquire a copy of Windows XP 64-bit
    Obviously you need a copy before you can install it, and you can get a free beta copy of Windows XP 64-bit Edition from here:
    http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/64bit/downloads/upgrade.asp
    You can either download the file (it's about 450 MB, though if you're on broadband your transfer will be over fairly quickly...microsoft.com servers always seem to offer excellent download speeds), or have physical CD's shipped to you.  Either way it doesn't cost anything, all you have to do is fill out their form, and they'll give you your stuff.
    Step 1a - Burn the .iso file to a CD
    This section is probably wholly unnecessary, but for the sake of completeness, I'll include it...
    If you had microsoft ship you a premade CD, skip this step.  However, if you downloaded your copy of Win XP 64, you'll need to burn the image file you downloaded to a CD before you can use it.  To do this, open your preferred burning software (I'd recommend using Nero), and select "Burn Image" (or the equivalent option for your software), and specify the .iso  file you downloaded as the image file to burn.  You should have your CD in a matter of minutes.
    Make certain that you note and record the CD-key contained in the e-mail microsoft sent you.  Writing this on the CD would be a good idea, as would printing out a copy of the e-mail.
    NOTE:  Do not burn the ISO file itself to a CD (i.e. create a new data CD and just drag the ISO file into the compilation window)...this will not work as it will put the file itself onto the disc, rather than the CD image contained within the ISO, which is what you want.
    Step 2 - Prepare your system
    Carefully preparing things before you attempt to install Windows XP 64 can save you a lot of headaches when install time actually comes.  
    First of all you want to make sure you have a seperate drive/partition to install Windows XP 64 onto (unless you're crazy enough to want a beta operating system to be your full-time OS...and I've seen Win XP 64 in action, and trust me, you do not want this just yet).  If you are using RAID make sure you are using the VIA controller and not the Promise controller as from what I've heard there are no 64-bit drivers out yet for the Promise RAID controller.  Also if you are using RAID, be sure to read the following thread, which details the process of putting the 64-bit RAID drivers onto a floppy disk, and follow the instructions carefully:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=40859&sid=
    Next, download all applicable drivers you can and save them in a sensible place (like c:\win64drivers).  If the driver comes in an archive, be sure to pre-extract it as well (Win XP 64 does not come with native zip/rar support).  It's okay if you don't want to get/cannot find all the drivers you'll need for your system, but at the very least make sure you download and extract the 64-bit ethernet adapter driver appropriate to your setup (most likely the RealTek RTL8169/8110 drivers), otherwise you'll be without internet (which makes downloading additional driver and program files kind of difficult).  You may also want to pre-download the installation files for some of the more essential program, like Winzip and WinRAR.  The best place I found to find 64-bit drivers is located here:
    http://www.planetamd64.com/modules/mx_pafiledb/dload.php?sid=
    Step 3 - Configure your BIOS
    Certain BIOS settings can screw up the install process, causing it to lock up at certain points, so it's worth taking the time to make sure things are set properly.
    Anyways, reboot your computer and go to the BIOS setup area, and make sure that "USB Legacy Support" is disabled, and that "Cool'n'Quiet" support is enabled...this will help reduce the chances of your installer hanging.  I found that after my install had completed I was able to re-enable USB Legacy support and have everything still work fine, but your results may vary, and different BIOS versions may have different effects on the installer.  I installed with BIOS version 1.20.
    While you're here, check your Boot Order settings and make sure that your CD/DVD drive is listed before your HDD is, and then insert your Windows XP 64 CD into the drive.  Save your settings and exit.
    Step 4 - Installing Windows XP 64
    When the computer reboots from step 3, you should see a message that says "Press any key to boot from CD..," so locate the "any" key and press it, and the windows installer will load.
    If you've done everything mentioned in the above steps, your install process should hopefully be a painless one, free of the errors and random stupid crap that caused me to spend several hours doing something that shouldn't have taken more than 30 minutes.  Select your desired install path (being careful to make sure that you're not installing over your 32-bit Windows) and enter information as requested.  If you need access to your RAID array during the install process, then be sure to press F6 when it asks you, and load the driver off of the floppy disk you created.
    If all goes well with the install Windows XP 64 should boot, and you can go and install all those handy driver files and software programs that you prepared in Step 2, and get your ethernet adapter working, and so on.  Reboot your system after installing the updated drivers, and if windows successfully loads, then congratulations, your install was successful.
    NOTE:  Do not install the MSI LiveUpdate software from the CD, as I did this and when Windwos loaded I would get a message saying "The service is not started" and when I clicked "Ok" the system would spontaneously reboot.  Disabling the software fixed this problem.
    ...I think that's all.  Let me know if I've missed anything.

    1.  Download the Windows AMD64 Drivers available here:
    http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?series=16&Software=True
    2.  Extract the files in the archive to somewhere like c:\win64drivers\ethernet
    3.  Once inside Win XP 64, do the following:
    a.  Click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager
    b.  Go down to the "Other Devices" section (they'll have yellow ?'s)
    c.  Right click on the ethernet controller and click "Update Driver"
    d.  Click "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)"
    e.  Click "Dont search.  I will choose the driver to install."
    f.  Double click the "Network Adapter" entry, and then click "Have Disk..."
    g.  Select the directory which you extracted the driver files to
    i.  You will get messages saying that Windows cannot verify that the driver matches your hardware, and that the driver is not WHQL certified.  Ignore these and click "Continue"/"Install Anyways" and your RealTek RTL8169/8110 ethernet adapter will spring to life
    after i have done this the pc just stops. and if i reboot it stops at the loading screen :/ can you tell me whats wrong i got a k8t neo serie card and windows 64 bit edition
    edit: i did it :D works now

  • Cannot install Windows XP on MS-6330 w/RAID

    Hardware:
    MSI-6330 K7T Turbo Limited Edition w/RAID (latest BIOS - 3.6)
    256MB Kingston (2 sticks of 133mhz 128mb, the recommended memory)
    AMD Athlon XP 1800
    Hercules 3D Prophet 4000XT (kyro chipset)
    3COM 3C905B NIC
    Standard CDROM and Floppy
    x2 Maxtor 30gb Diamondmax Plus 8 HDD's
    Before I begin, all parts (CPU, mem, etc.) is tested good in another system. Tested in system with a MSI-6330 K7T Turbo 2, tests pass, and XP installs without ANY hitch. I have also been a PC tech by trade for the last 8 years, not tooting my own horn, just letting you know I have tried everything I know. I have also tried searching the net, and this forum, and have'nt been able to come up with anything concrete.
    So, Windows XP Pro will not install for anything. I have set the array, deleted array, tried drives on just the standard IDE channel. Tried just one HDD on array, then standard. Booted with fail-safe BIOS settings, etc etc. Tried everything.
    Windows starts the install, feed it the drivers from MSI's site for the RAID (PDC20265R). From there, I get a variety of errors. Sometimes it will start and finish the format of the drive, sometimes it will error and say that the disk is corrupt (it's not). Sometimes it will finish formatting, copy some files, then say it can't copy. Sometimes it will just blue screen and give a "stop" error. The stop error has always been random, no particular one.
    I sent this board back to the dealer and they said it is fine. But they had a drive with XP already installed, they didn't try a clean install. I did try putting one of the drives into my other system with the K7T Turbo 2, install XP, and installed the inf for the RAID on this board in question. Didn't think it would work, and it didn't.
    ANYONE have a solution? Any ideas? I am at a brick wall. And really don't want to junk this board just to get another one and a PCI RAID card.

    I am having very similar issues with the K7T Turbo-r limited edition(w/ raid) board.  I tried to upgrade to bios v3.6 and the raid funtion failed to load and then would lock  on the Windows XP screen.  Did safe mode boot and locked up on gernuwa.sys.  Went all the way back to bios v2.6 and worked my up to v3.1, where the problems started over again.  v3.0 seems to work just fine.  In v3.1 they changed the promise raid in the bios.  I have downloaded the latest drivers for the raid on that board, but have not installed yet.  To install these drivers, do I just right click on .inf file and install from there, or should I use the liveUpdate program to do it?  I am hoping that these new drivers will fix the raid issues and allow me to upgrade to a newer bios.

  • HT1349 After installing windows 8, I have no sound on my mac desktop. Need help?

    Hi,
    I recently installed Windows 8 and after the installation there is no audio (sound) in my iMac. I can't hear youtube videos, mp3 files, no nothing.
    Suggestions to solves this problem?

    As you sure that you don't have system sounds muted? If you have sound in the music app, then system sounds are muted.
    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • How to Install Windows 8 on (some) unsupported Macs

    Open finder
    Open Applications folder
    Open Utilities folder
    Right click on Boot Camp Assisstant > Get info
    Click the Lock in the bottom right corner and enter Admin password
    Click the plus in the left corner and add your user.
    Give yourself Read & Write privleges
    Click the lock again
    Right click on Boot Camp Assisstant > Show package contents
    Open Contents folder
    Open Info.plist
    Scroll to the bottom where the <key>Win7OnlyModels</key> string is
    delete the whole string (in my case <string>MacBookPro5,5</string>)
    You will be promted that your don't have permission and to make a duplicate. Click Duplicate.
    Backspace out the space between the lines if there is any.
    Save as Info.plist to the Desktop.
    Find the Finder window with the Contents page in it.
    Change the name of the Info.plist to Info.plist.bak. It will automatically add .plist to it
    Drag the Info.plist file from the Desktop the Contents folder.
    Authenticate yourself
    Let the file be moved.
    Click back twice.
    Open Boot Camp Assisstant
    Click next.
    Install Windows 7 or later version is now shown.
    There you go. Windows 8 on unsupported Macs in 25 steps, or a couple minutes. (not including partition or install ;P)
    If you don't know what your Model number is, Click the Apple in the upper right corner, About This Mac > More Info... > System Report... > and it will show Model Identifier. That is the <string> that your will need to delete. If you don't see it chances are your won't be able to do this. Could try this other "Trick" in here:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4897066?start=0&tstart=0

    "If you don't see it chances are your won't be able to do this."
    WRONG! YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DO THIS THANKS TO ME! FIRST FOLLOW ALL OF "aplet's" steps and then do this:
    <key>PreUSBBootSupportedModels</key>
              <array>
                        <string>MacBook7,1</string>
                        <string>MacBookAir3,2</string>
                        <string>MacBookPro8,3</string>
                        <string>MacPro5,1</string>
                        <string>Macmini4,1</string>
                        <string>iMac12,2</string>
    Click the Apple in the upper right corner, About This Mac > More Info... > System Report... > and it will show Model Identifier.
    Change it by deleting "Pre" and adding your Model's <string>
    For example I ended up with this:
    <key>USBBootSupportedModels</key>
      <array>
      <string>MacBook6,1</string>
      <string>MacBook7,1</string>
      <string>MacBookAir3,2</string>
      <string>MacBookPro8,3</string>
      <string>MacPro5,1</string>
      <string>Macmini4,1</string>
      <string>iMac12,2</string>

  • How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc

    1a)  Here is very useful article from PCWorld.com. The article is entitled "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" and means just what it says. The article also has links to Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder and legitimate Windows 7 ISOs from Digital River, a licensed distributor of Microsoft software. The article lists "Step 1" as;
    "Find your Windows 7 product key: Typically this 25-character alphanumeric string is printed on a sticker affixed to your PC or on documentation included with your PC. Alternatively, you can use a keyfinder program such as Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder to pull your product key from the Registry. You need your product key to reinstall Windows."
    1b)  Using a key finder, however, is only useful if the Windows 7 product key was printed on a sticker (Microsoft Certificate of Authenticity) affixed to your PC, on documentation included with your PC, or sent via email by Microsoft. Assuming your computer came from one of the big brand computer manufacturers... HP, Sony, Dell, Gateway, etc... as most do, it uses a generic "mass activation" OEM SLP key. Trying to use this key by itself isn't going to work. This OEM SLP key needs to be mated with an OEM SLP certificate and an appropriate OEM BIOS with a proper SLIC table.
    1c)  Here is where ABR Beta With Windows 7 Support comes to the rescue. Follow the "How to use it" section of ABR for Windows Vista for information and instructions on how to use ABR. The steps listed for Vista apply to Windows 7 as well. Perform the "activation backup" to "backup" and save the OEM SLP key and OEM SLP certificate. Save the entire ABR folder to an external location for later use. This will allow you to pre-activate your "clean" Windows 7 install on the computer you pulled the key and certificate from.
    1d)  Now install Windows 7 from your new "Windows 7" disc or USB stick, following all prompts as needed. Don't enter a Windows 7 product key if request. Also, don't allow Windows to try to auto-activate. Once Windows is fully installed, run ABR "activation restore" to "restore" the previously backed up product key and certificate to the new Windows 7 install. Verify that Windows is activated, repeat "activation restore" if needed.
    2)  Here is another useful article, this time from SevenForums.com. This arcticle is entitled "Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7" and provides detailed steps required to backup your computer, audit current hardware and software, locate software and drivers, install and activate Windows 7, and create a Windows 7 Backup Image of your fresh install.
    Good luck.
    Links to additional Windows 7 SP1 "Editions" and "Languages" can be found HERE and HERE.
    Link to "ei.cfg Removal Utility". The "ei.cfg Removal Utility" is a simple tool that will remove the ei.cfg  from any Windows ISO disc image, thereby converting the image into a "universal disc" that will prompt the user to select an edition during setup instead of being forced to use different discs for different versions of Windows 7.

    ervis,
    Before formatting the hard drive you should have been able to use the HP Recovery Manager to create your recovery discs or perform a system recovery. This is provided the recovery partition wasn't already corrupt or damaged. If the "D:" HP Recovery partition is missing or damaged and you don't have a set of HP Recovery Discs, you will need to use the information in my previous post to get your computer up and running again.
    The information in the document referred you to applies to several different "types" of installations;
    Using ABRbeta is only needed if you have an active OEM factory SLP (system locked preactivated) installation of Windows. You use ABR to pull the factory key and certificate off the computer, to reuse it on the same computer with a clean Windows install.
    If you are just installing Windows and are going to use the Windows 7 product key on the COA on the side of your computer, all you need to do is download the same version of Windows that your key is for and burn the ISO. Now install Windows answering or following all prompts as needed (except do not enter the Windows product at this time... it will be entered later). Once Windows has completely installed, enter the key and activate it. Your Windows 7 OA key should work on a SP1 install without issue.
    The only thing I see that could mess things up, is the language of the install. If you are still having trouble activating Windows, please reference the ISO you download and a post a photo of your Windows COA
    with the key erased or Xed out.
    Please send KUDOs

  • Problems installing Windows 7 using Boot Camp

    I have a brand new MBP Retina laptop (late 2013) with 256GB SSD. Today I tried to use Bootcamp Assistant to partition the SSD and install Windows 7 64 bit OS.
    My first attempt was using a licensed Windows 7 64 bit installation DVD and my OWC external optical drive which is recognized in Finder:
    I started Boot Camp Assistant, selected the boxes to download latest Windows Support Software from Apple and to Install Windows 7. I was asked to specify the size for the Windows partition and hit continue. The process was moving along, the  computer restarted and then I got a black screen with a blinking white cursor (like a command line prompt) in the upper left corner of the screen and a message to press any key to reboot. Pressing any key did nothing.
    As far as I could tell, the Support Software files that were on the USB drive did get installed prior to the first reboot of the system that happens after you allocate the size for the partition. After the first reboot I never got the Windows installer though, just the hanging black screen/cursor mentioned above.
    I'm wondering if, after creating the partition and restarting, my computer can't see my external optical drive even though it does show up in Finder when booted to OSX because it was not reading the Win7 Install DVD at all.
    While on the phone with Apple Senior Tech Support we rebooted several times holding down the Alt/Option key. The boot options were the OSX, Recovery, Windows, and EFI Boot. Choosing Windows resulted in the trackpad locking up and it just hung there. I ended up reverting the SSD back to a single partition for now.
    After some discussion on the Apple forum I tried creating an ISO file from the Win7 64 bit DVD using ImgBurn software that I have installed on my Windows PC  and ImgBurn indicated it had created a bootable ISO file. I copied the ISO file to the downloads folder on the MBP, plugged the empty USB drive into the MBP and tried Boot Camp Assistant again:
    Choosing the appropriate option for use with an ISO file on a USB drive Boot Camp Assistant proceed to again create the partition, asked me to size it, and then it proceeded (over approximately an hour and a half) to work on copying the ISO file to the USB drive and downloaded the Support Software to the USB drive.
    After the restart I got another black screen, cursor, and the messages, "No bootable device/drive found", "Press any key to reboot". Again pressing any key did not do anything. I reverted back to a single partition again, rebooted to OSX and gave up for the night.
    Bottom line in either scenario is that I never get to the Windows installer screens to even attempt to install Windows on the new partition.
    QUESTIONS:
    I think in my situation it doesn't appear that ImgBurn created a bootable ISO file from my Win7 install DVD. The Apple Bootcamp Setup guide refers to downloading the ISO image from Microsoft but I couldn't find anything that I would be comfortable downloading.
    I'd rather use my installation DVD for Windows but why isn't that process of reading the DVD from the external drive working after the restart?
    Can the ISO file and Windows Support Software live on the same USB drive during installation and does the support software get installed automatically by boot camp assistant?
    What am I doing wrong here? This shouldn't be this hard especially when I own a valid copy of Windows.
    This is VERY frustrating. Any help or referrals to proper instruction is very much appreciated.

    I was able to successfully complete the installation of Windows 7 Home Premium using Boot Camp. Turns out the problem was the Windows 7 ISO image I was initially trying to use. I called Microsoft tech support and they sent me a link (see below) from which I downloaded the Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit ISO image. After downloading the ISO image and restarting Boot Camp Assistant the process of Boot Camp preparing and transferring the ISO image and Windows Support software to the USB drive took about 45 minutes and then everything went smoothly from there. The only thing I encountered was when I was asked what drive to install Windows on I got a message that it couldn't install on the Boot Camp drive because it needed to be in NTFS format. I clicked on the format button and then the process continued. After Windows installed the Windows Support Software from Apple started to install automatically. So far it is working well.

  • HP Pavilion DV6 3122TX recovery partition deleted, need to install windows

    Hi,
    I have a Pavilion DV6 3122TX notebook. The system would hang profusely when ever I was accessing any file, no it was not a virus or anything, I found out it was the HD due to error screen at startup "Hard Disk Error, Hard Disk 1(3F1)", I ran all self checks and diagnostics but nothing improved. So I formatted the drive completely deleted all partitions even the internal recoveries and others (my bad).
    My recovery disc cannot be read by the laptop, the DVDRom LED blinks for a few seconds then nothing happens, "It says invalid system disk. Replace the disk, and then pres any key blah blah blah ..." The disc is fine I have checked. I changed the boot options to boot from internal CD/DVD.
    I need a working windows as a temporary solution as quickly as possible. I cannot install Windows 7  apparently this is due to some lock (turns out it was unable to detect the HDD). Windows XP cannot see the drive due to AHCI driver requirement (can't switch back to IDE) due to BIOS lock. So I tried the AHCI driver slipstream method, now here's my problem I can't find the proper AHCI drivers for my laptop since I cannot login to Win to check with CPUz. Can someone direct me to the right text-mode drivers for this laptop to slipstream into winxp x86 using NliteOS. I'll take the laptop to be fixed to a service centre next month but now I need a solution. Even if you can fix my recovery solution it would be great.
    I can access the hard drive using Linux. So the HDD is ok, please do not refer me to change the HDD that is not an option right now. (HDD was the problem)
    Sorry for such a long post
    Thanks in advance..
