Mac Pro missing "Create Windows 7 Install Disk"

Okay well when i try to use bootcamp as i already bought a copy of windows 7. The Create Windows 7 Install Disk option is not there for me. In every tutorial to setup bootcamp has had that option. Is my bootcamp messed up or did i do something wron? Specs: 2 x 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 6GB 1066Mhz OS X 10.8.2 Thanks

Your Mac Pro must be newer than a Mac Pro 5,1, and must have a minimum ROM version in order to use the USB installer you are looking for.  If your machine is older, or doesn't have the correct ROM versions, then you need to use the "old fashioned" disc install method....

    It appears that Windows 8 is not supported on your computer. The numbers in the table refer to Bootcamp version.

  • I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and Adobe Premier 10 loaded on a Dell PC. Do I need to uninstall from the Dell before I install on a recently purchased Apple Mac Pro? There are separate disks for Mac and PC in the package.

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and Adobe Premier 10 loaded on a Dell PC. Do I need to uninstall from the Dell before I install on a recently purchased Apple Mac Pro? There are separate disks for Mac and PC in the package.

    Generally, it's ok to install on two machines as long as they are both yours and you only use one version at a time.
    BTW, this is the forum for Adobe Contribute.

  • In the second step of bootcamp, I am supposed to either check the box where it says create a windows install disk, what exactly is this? Do I need to do this?

    In the second step of bootcamp, I am supposed to either check the box where it says create a windows install disk, what exactly is this? Do I need to do this? I have a windows 7 install disk, but I don't know what this means.

    If you already have Windows on a DVD or USB drive, you don't have to tick that option. That's only for people who have Windows on a ISO file and have to burn it into a USB drive

  • MacBook Pro 2010 hangs when booting from Windows install disk

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to install Windows 7 via Bootcamp. I've used Bootcamp before so familiar I'm with how it should work. I have a USB CD drive, which I've used on other machines OK, and an official Windows Install Disk.
    After Bootcamp finishes copying over all it's drivers etc to my external USB drive, it reboots. However, whenever I try to boot from a disk it always just hangs on the Apple logo (no spinning cog/wheel). This happens whenever the Bootcamp installer performs a reboot and/or when I hold down ALT on startup and select the boot CD.
    I can still boot in to mac partition. Could this be a problem with the EFI? Any help with identifying this problem or how get the information to fix this problem would be much appreciated
    Thanks.

    Try resetting PRAM…

  • Mac pro wont let me install os x 10.6 from disk

    mac pro wont let me install os x 10.6 from disk

    You need the orignal system discs or an upgrade DVD that has Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on it and you must erase, or better Re-Partition, the drive to get rid of any Newer version of OS X first.

  • Mac Pro RAID0 crashing Windows

    I've just installed a new Mac Pro with Lion, and installed Boot Camp with Windows 7 on the primary system drive.  The initial install of Windows went fine, and during the Boot Camp driver install process (display at low-res, etc.) I had no issues.  But after installing the Boot Camp drivers and restarting, Windows will crash with a blue-screen error around 30 seconds after the log-in screen appears.  In Windows safe mode, I don't get a system crash.
    I've narrowed down the cause as being related to a software RAID0 volume installed in the Mac Pro.  My drive configuration is:
    Bay 1: 1TB - Partitioned with Lion / Windows 7
    Bay 2: 4TB drive (RAID0 with Bay 3) - HFS+
    Bay 3: 4TB drive (RAID0 with Bay 2) - HFS+
    Bay 4: empty
    If I remove drives 2 and 3, then reboot Windows, everything runs fine.
    I've read in a number of places that Boot Camp does not support booting Windows from a Mac SW RAID volume, but does the very presence of these RAID striped drives cause the system to fall over?  Or is it posisbly related to the fact they are 4TB drives?
    I don't need any access at all to the RAID volume from Windows, but I'm trying to find a way to run without having to open the chassis and remove the drives everytime I need to boot into Windows.
    Does anyone have advice, experience or guidance on this?
    System - Mac Pro 6-core (3.33 GHz), 24 GB RAM, Lion (downgraded from ML for PCIe expansion driver compatibility), additional SAS HBA and USB 3.0 cards installed.

    Hi,
    I have run all Futuremarks Bench (3D2005; 3D2006 and PCMark2005) but since I'm here at work I don't have the results at hand right now.
    Roughly said they are as follows:
    3DMark2005 - approx. 10.800
    3DMark2006 - approx. 6.300
    PCMark2005 - approx. 8.100
    When you look at the results on the Futuremark site you must consider that all the top results there came from Systems which are heavily overclocked (CPU and GPU, sometimes water-cooled) and some systems even with dual-graphic-cards installed.
    So a direct comparision is almost impossible.
    For me my MacPro is more than enough right now, playing Oblivion in 1600x1200 with HDR and almost everthing maxed out.
    Didn't measure FPS but it runs as smoothly as I could think of.
    I don't regret it at all.
    Have Fun

  • Where do i get a windows install disk???!!!!

    where can i get a windows install disk? do i have to buy a new windows os?
    thx

    No because then you will have not only have installation issues but also validation issues. If you are using Boot Camp on your Mac to install any of the windows versions then you will need a FULL version of the Windows operating system.

  • Problems printing to printers connected to a MAC pro from a Windows Laptop

    Folks,
    I got a MAC PRO a couple of weeks ago and I have two USB printers (an EPSON CX 4200 and a CANON S900 connected to it).
    I tried both Ifelix's procedures to add the printers connected to the MAC and I had problems with both procedures.
    If I try the http://mac-ip:631/printers/printer-name I am successful in adding the printer to the Laptop running windows XP however when I try to send something to that printer the job goes straight to the "completed" queue on the MAC and nothing prints at all. I used the respective windows drivers for each printer on the XP Laptop.
    I spent two hours with Apple support on the phone and they could not figure out what was going on and suggested that I post my issue to this forum to see if anybody has any ideas.
    I also tried to configure the printers using Bonjour (as per Ifelix's documented method) but at some point during the printer setup I get an error message indicating that I do not have "sufficient access" to install the printer driver even though I am logged in as admin on the windows XP computer.
    Has abybody experienced similar pain? Is anybody here being able to print to printers connected to a MAC PRO from a Windows XP laptop?
    I should also say that my computers are in a network and both are connected to a Linksys Wireless Access point/router.
    The Laptop is a wireless laptop and the mac pro is conneced to the linksys router via a regular network cable.
    Also, I have no issues printing straight from the mac to both printers.
    Would appreciate any suggestions/comments.
    Thanks in advance for your time.
    regards,
    marcelo

    What risks does that imply?
    Well, it implies that the battery is not user serviceable, which it is not. However, your warranty has already been effectively voided by the spill. So, you don't have that much to lose. As I already said though, there are risks inherent in cleaning any electronic equipment with any sort of liquid. The safer route is definitely to take the machine in for repair, as eww says.
    And for the Q-tips, when I opened the machine, it seemed really complicated to unmount or access parts with Q-tips.
    Unfortunately, it is complicated. It's not something to undertake unless you are comfortable with it. And it can never be guaranteed that it will actually be clean because there are many spaces that you'll never be able to clean. I should perhaps emphasize that I would only clean the machine myself if there was no chance of being able to pay for repairs. It is sort of a last-ditch option to attempt to avoid the cost of repairs. Nothing is guaranteed though and you may have to pay for repairs anyway.
    Wouldn't it be better to just let it bath in the distilled water, wait a few minutes and then let it dry?
    Definitely not. If you do that you can forget about the machine ever working again, at all.
    do you think there is hope that once cleaned, everything would work again ?
    It is doubtful. Like I said, if paying for repairs are not an option, then you should consider at least attempting to clean it. Otherwise, you should have the top case replaced (new keyboard and trackpad).

  • Why can't I boot from  my windows install disk using an external dvd drive?

    My internal disk drive is broken on my computer, so I'm using an external one, but when I put my windows install disk in, it shows up when I'm using the computer, but it doesn't show up when I hold ALT on startup. Why is this?

    Alt/Option Boot code is all in ROM. It shows an Icon for each potentially-bootable Volume.
    Your Windows install DVD is not directly bootable, and so it does not show an Icon. (An OS 9 Installer CD would not show an Icon either.)
    To install Windows, you need to research the use of Boot Camp, the software that provides Mac drivers and facilitates the Installation of Windows on a Mac. There are also Windows restrictions on the use of external drives which you may have to meet.
