Mac book lion crashes with boot camp !

I have a macbook pro model: A1278 with LION with BOOTCAMP
After some times using windows (bootcamp) mac crashes.
Then I verified mac and repaired and then install mac drive 9 , after that I had access through mac with windows to copy files which were on mac side.
But now the problem is that I can not use time machine or reinstall lion again bcs I face with the error " mac disc damaged and can not repair"
NB: An nonofficial technician told me , hard disk got bad sector and we have to take it and put it on another computer to remove bad-sectors.
I bought it from Italy when I was student there but now living in Iran where bcs of sanctions there is no apple store or assistant.
Whats your opinions about my problem?
How can I set it like model factory, While I dont have dvd?

Windows automatic startup on Mac Book after installing with Boot Camp?

I installed Windows XP Home Edition 2002 using Boot Camp on my Mac Book with Mac OS X 10.5.1. This is probably a minor problem, but every time I turn on my laptop, Windows XP automatically starts, and the only way to start with Mac OS X is by holding option during start up and selecting Macintosh HD. Is there anyway to automatically start up using Mac OS X and not Windows?

Hi every/any-one
I had this initial problem whereby it automatically started Windows. I couldn't change the default in my Startup Disk pane in OSX because it didn't show either the Mac or XP partition. Once the bootcamp drivers were installed on XP though I could change it in windows - however this is where the real trouble has begun
Now if I restart my computer in either XP or OSX (5.2) I have massive pixel dramas on my screen - like a colour phase shift or something
However, once I am have chosen XP as the default system (whilst in XP boot camp bit) and then immediately restart I can continually restart in XP automatically without any pixel issues. Also if I choose OSX (whilst in XP) and then immediately restart, it will start in OSX correctly (BUT ONLY THE FIRST TIME) - The next time I automatically boot to OSX it is pixel dramas all over again - Similarly if I restart from OSX and want to change to XP and then hold down the option key to swap to XP, XP also has the pixel dramas and will continue to until I ask it to automatically start XP from teh boot camp menu - It is only if it automatically boots to XP that the problem is ok in XP.
I have down loaded the latest leopard updates and the ATI 8.43 graphics driver (the catalyst one didn't install properly so I have uninstalled that) and I still have the same issue - There is nothing on my XP partion at all except the new drivers and the Apple Mouse Utility which I initially put into the start up menu but have since removed and just left on the desktop - Aside from that nothing has changed in XP from its initial installation. I have only gone on the web twice in XP and been to highly reputable sites and not downloaded anything so it would be virtually impossible for it to be a virus. I also couldn't properly download the latest OSX updates via software update (it stalled at 239M so I restarted and got the rest but then it wouldn't install so in the end I had to download the update file manually to trigger the updates) - I am not sure if this is related, to the pixel problem or not.
Does anyone have any answers as I have restarted my computer at least 40 times in trying to isolate the specifics of the problem - but still can't work it out
Could it be related to the fact that neither of my partitions can be seen in startup disk in OSX?
Is it something to do with the screen res in XP ? (I have changed a bit but no good)
Could it be related to the Apple Mouse Utility (I downloaded this so I could right click in XP)
Any help other than formatting my drives, re-doing bootcamp, reinstalling XP would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

New mac book pro - to run boot camp or not?

hi,
im a brand new mac user and have had a brief browse of some problems that others have encountered with boot camp and possible crashes during partitioning...
i'm not sure if anyone can help but i was wondering if it would be safest to run boot camp and partition my hard drive before i even use my new mbp? or to not run it at all - i will only be using windows to play the odd computer game, for everything else i will use my mbp as it was originally intended.
what is the level of risk involved with boot camp? ...should i just run it before any data is saved onto the drive and hope for the best...?
or fork out the cash for the mac versions of the each game (3 max)?
i just don't want to screw it up, as my brother has had similar problems with his... and i've been saving for months!
thanks for reading this far and thankyou for your help in advance!

Boot Camp works beautifully if you follow directions. BC is merely an installer (and a good one). Windows works perfectly well on a Mac (better than some PCs). Windows is Windows - it has it's needs. If you are familiar with Windows no problem. Or - if you are willing to learn - no problem. There IS wisdom in installing BC right away. I found that if I install BC right after OS X, it is a good idea. As soon as I loaded the OSX updates there was potential trouble in that the updates were placed right in the spot where I needed my partition to go - requiring the Apple equivalent of a defrag. This happens rarely, but it does happen. Install OS X > Open BootCamp & Install > Partition for Windows > Update OS X - you'll be fine.

Windows & Mac on Dual Monitors with Boot Camp

Can you run a windows program & a mac program at the same time on dual monitors using boot camp?

No. OSx licensing only allows running OSx on Apple hardware.
What program? Boot Camp only partitions the drive for Windows. Boot Camp has no impact or affect on Windows. The only difference between running Windows in a Boot Camp partition or in a VM is that Windows uses the computer's hardware natively in a Boot Camp partition.

Your OSX psrtition and your Boot Camp partition are completely separate. You can reinstall Mavericks without affecting Boot Camp and you can redo Boot Camp without affacting OSX.

I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows. I upgraded to Lion and somehow it crashes the mac side peridoically. I am told I need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the recovery drive. will that delete the windows partition too??

I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows. I upgraded to Lion and now the mac side crashes/freezes periodically, especially iphoto. I am told by the genius' that I probably need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the "recovery drive" which resets everything back to default and reinstalls the lion operating system. My question is will this also delete the "windows" partition drive and all that data too. If so that will be a huge pain in the ___ to back up and reinstall boot camp and windows. I want to shoot the lion.

There is no system like Acronis for the Mac platform. You can try using the buiilt in Disk Utility to create an Image of the complete Mac drive but I have found that this does not work very well as on tryiing to restore it gives errors sometimes.
You can use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable Clone of your system partition. But that is only for the System partition and not the complete drive.
If you use Boot Camp to install Windows on your Mac neither of those two programs will clone the Windows side.
Neither will Disk utility as Mac's can not create or write to a NTFS partition. So some other program is need for that.

I am working on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) with boot camp running Windows 7 pro 64-bit. Windows crashes quite often now-a-days and I need to get this fixed. I heard that updating boot camp can help. Currently I am running Version 3.0.4 (322).

I need to know which update(s) I can apply to help stabalize the system.

Typing the body of the thread message in the title, huh? -)

Only Apple could hamstring and tie Mac OS to Windows. There isn't any other than whether you can download the drivers into Windows (you can) but Apple puts a block on the installer setup even if your mac does not support it.
Windows 7 needs at least Boot Camp 3.1 and 3.3 is what you should already have. And you are not getting security updates if you don't have at least 10.6.8 as was pointed out. --- you arent using Software Update as you should. And you should backup and clone Mac (and Windows) as well.
You need Mountain Lion to use Boot Camp 5.x which supports Windows 7 & 8 and 64-bit.
I would upgrade to Lion if you can realizing that Rosetta and PowerPC are no longer supported though.

Is there a download of the Boot Camp 5 Support Software if I'm not using OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.3?
Yes, you can download the Boot Camp 5 Support Software here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638
How do I use the Boot Camp 5 Support Software I downloaded from the web page?
The download file is a .zip file. Double click it to uncompress it.
Double-click the Boot Camp disk image.
Copy the Boot Camp and "$WinPEDriver$" folders to the root level of a USB flash drive or hard drive that is formatted with the FAT file system (see question below for steps on how to format).
Install Windows, leaving the flash or hard drive attached to the USB port of your Mac.
Installation of the drivers can take a few minutes. Don't interrupt the installation process. A completion dialog box will appear when everything is installed. Click Finish when the dialog appears.
When your system restarts your Windows 8 installation is done.
Note: If the flash drive or hard drive was not attached when you installed Windows and was inserted after restarting into Windows 8, double-click the Boot Camp folder, then locate and double click the "setup.exe" file to start the installation of the Boot Camp 5 Support Software.
How do I format USB media to the FAT file system?
Use Disk Utility to format a disk to use with a Windows computer. Here's how:
Important: Formatting a disk erases all the files on it. Copy any files you want to save to another disk before formatting the disk.
Open Disk Utility.
Select the disk you want to format for use with Windows computers.
Click Erase, and choose one of the following from the Format pop-up menu:
If the size of the disk is 32 GB or less, choose MS-DOS (FAT).
If the size of the disk is over 32 GB, choose ExFAT.
Type a name for the disk. The maximum length is 11 characters.
Click the Erase button and then click Erase again.
Which versions of Windows are supported with Boot Camp 5?
64-bit versions of Windows 8 and Windows 7 are supported using the Boot Camp 5 Support Software. If you need to use a 32-bit version, you need to use Boot Camp 4 Support Software, and you must use Windows 7. 32-bit versions of Windows 8 are not supported via Boot Camp.

Have Imac with boot camp windows 7. Sound works great in mac but no sound in windows?

I have new IMAC 24 with snow leopard os and installed windows 7 ultimate 32 with boot camp. The sound works great when in MAC but there is no sound when boot up in windows.The mixers show a sound level as music is plaing but no sound out of speakers or earphones. I read on forum that many others have had same situation with Mac Book Pros and had success by downloading new realtec audio drivers, but my system has Cirius 2406 ab9 drivers and I can't find any replacements for them. Does anyone have a fix?

Keep on trying, keep searching as there are quite a few work around's for different issues.
One way is to reinstall the Boot Camp drivers and update them again via the Apple Software Updater in Windows. You did update them the first time, right?
Or extract the sound drivers from the Boot Camp package (or the DVD if you have it) and just install those again. You should find a few how-to's in the search results.
Sorry I can't help more...

Installing Windows 7 With Boot Camp on Mac Pro 3.1 w/GTX285 Video card

I have an Early 2008 Mac Pro 3.1 running the latest version of OS 10.6 with all updates. I have an nVidia GTX285 card installed in the Mac Pro that has been working fine for at least six months under OS 10.6 with Mac drivers downloaded from the nVidia web site and installed under OS 10.6. I replaced the ATi 2600XT video card with the nVidia GTX285 in order to have CUDA support in Premier Pro CS 5 and it works beautifully.
I now wish to install Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on this Mac Pro. I have never had any version of Windows installed on this Mac Pro. I am using Boot Camp assistant and a new full version of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
My question is do I need to remove the GTX 285 graphics card and replace it with my AT 2600XT before installing Windows 7? This would be a real pain to do because the two connectors to the motherboard are hard to get to. However, since Apple never used the GTX285 in any of its computers, I am worried that I will not have any video display when I go to try and install Windows 7 with Boot Cam assistant.
Please advise me whether removing the graphics card is necessary before installing Windows 7 with Boot Camp.
Thank you in advance for responding.

NO.... he has a workstation, and not MBP, nor are "drivers already loaded."
How I would proceed -
Install Windows on its own drive.
Pull all the other drives.
Boot from Windows 7 Pro DVD
Forget Boot Camp Assistant, it doesn't do anything - unless you really want to install Windows on the SAME drive as Mac OS - not ideal and not what most of Mac Pro owners do.
Just insert your OS X DVD once Windows is up to date - helps to buy the SP1 OEM version $129.
Run Apple SETUP.exe (Boot Camp 3.0.x drivers) and update with ASU or manually to 3.2.
No you don't need to go back and use that ATI. And you dont' want to be in the situation of changing from ATI to Nvidia and all the hassle that adds. you are fine.
The Mac Pro is as close as anything to a standard Wintel workstation.
Add MS Security Essentials or KIS or whatever you favor. KIS2011 or NIS2011 are good, MSSE 2.0 is free and based on their enterprise product.

Boot Camp doesn't install the drivers. You have the drivers on a separate USB device if you followed directions. Once in Windows connect the USB drive with the driver software. It should startup automatically and install the drivers.
You don't even need to do that. As downloading the drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant can be unreliable, it is better to get the package directly from here:

Copy the .zip file to a USB flash drive or burn it to a DVD in OS X. Install Windows as normal, insert the flash drive/DVD in Windows, copy the .zip file to the hard drive, extract it, then run the setup executable.
