MBP Partition error when booting Windows 7

Hi there,
I'm really pulling my hair out with this problem and woud appreciate any help! I've searched everywhere and not found a solution, and it's infuriating.
The Background - I am using a 2008 MBP running Mountain Lion, and have partitioned my 320GB Hard drive to give 50GB to run Windows 7 on the partition. I have tried Boot Camp but when it reboots to the Windows installation the partition Boot Camp creates will not work as it's not in NTFS mode. Therefore I used Disk Utility to create a NTFS based partition and ran the installation that way. The Windows 7 install seems to work and when it gets to the end, reboots as it should. This is where we get to the annoying part...
The Problem - I hold down Option to choose the startup disk. If I press WINDOWS (the partitioned disk that should now have Windows 7 installed) I get a black screen with 1 blinking cursor. It will not go away, no matter how long I leave it. I've tried multiple times and left if for over 2 hours, and nothing. If I select the CD as the startup disk, I get a message reading "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD", and of course, pressing any amount of keys many many times achieves nothing, and the cursor continues to blink away at the end of the line indefinitely.
I have tried repeating the process over ten times today and have got nowhere. I even tried partitioning with a MS-DOS FAT system, and running a windows XP install disk I have, and the exact same thing happened. It got to the end of the install and rebooted, then when I selected the windows statrup disk, Blinky the b*stard blinking cursor turned up and refused to leave until I cut the power.
There are answers to this problem out there and theres one forum on here discussing the same issue, but their solution didn't work for me.
Please help someone, all I want to do is some retro gaming. No human being should have to endure this much suffering in order to enjoy C&C Red Alert 2.

Windows insists that its Partition Map be set up the Windows way. No exceptions. If you use anything other than BOOT CAMP (or Open Source REFIt) to do the partition setup, it will not work.
WARNING: If you allow Windows to Modify the partition Map directly, Windows will clobber Mac OS X so completely that will require a complete Mac OS X Re-Install. Windows in not a pleasant guest.
Be certain you are using the correct version of BOOT CAMP to match Your Mac OS X, and check for which versions of Windows are supported under it.

  • [Solved]Syslinux "booting... boot error" when booting Windows 7

    Hello, I've set up my computer to dual boot windows and arch. Windows is on a separate hard drive and I was able to configure syslinux with a boot menu allowing me to select Windows at startup. For a long time this has worked without any problems whatsoever, but this morning I tried selecting windows and I got what is probably the most vague error message I have ever seen.
    "Booting...
    Boot Error"
    According to this post this problem comes in when the ldsyslinux.sys file cannot be found. Unfortunately I was not able to use his suggested fix
    syslinux -U /dev/sdb1
    I wasn't aware that there was a -U flag for syslinux and after checking it seems that there isn't one.

    Sorry, I actually just fixed it on my own, it turns out my BIOS settings were a bit... weird. For some reason I didn't have my windows drive listed and it tried to boot a USB drive I had plugged into my computer. I just had to fix the drive order and it worked fine. Sorry about starting a fairly useless discussion.

    Please tell me there is a fix that does not involve buying a computer clean sweep program.

    Hi brigitta2,
    You might be getting the error message because of any of the following reasons:
    .dll files are corrupt or missing
    Attack of malware or other spyware
    Incorrect installation of applications
    Damaged Windows registry
    Old Windows device drivers that need to be updated
    The problem can be sorted if you know the exact reason behind the same. Please let me know the exact error message that appears on your screen.
    If the issue is with damaged files then you might need to replace them or if it is a system issue, then please take your laptop to an expert who can deal with system issues.

    First, in System Preferences -> Users & Groups -> Login items, look for anything Adobe in the list of items and remove it. Then your Mac will not attempt to load anything Adobe during boot-up or log-in anymore, but boot much faster again.
    Then see if problems persist when starting your Adobe apps. If so, uninstall them completely (!!! - usually, there are files left over under Applications and in Application Support in the Libraries - remove those manually), then re-install these apps fresh.

  • "Could not complete scan" error when using Windows Fax and Scan

    "Could not complete scan" error when using Windows Fax and Scan with a HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus All-In-One network printer.
    Printing is fine.
    When using the HP Scan application, get the error "Scanner communication cannot be established".
    When scanning from the printer itself it fails with the same message. In addition the printer panel displays the error:
    "The scan could not be completed due to one or more of the following issues:
    Connection to the computer is lost
    The scanner is in use
    OCR application is not installed"
    My PC is a HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF 64bit, with ethernet cable to the router and ethernet cable to the printer
    Originally ran Windows 8.0; recently upgraded to Windows 8.1.
    Older separate Netgear router and modem was replaced with a newer Netgear Router/Modem, but both experienced the same problem.
    There was no problem with the original Windows 8.0 configuration and only after upgrading to 8.1 did the problem emerge.
    On my home netowrk I have an HP ProBook 6550b running Windows 7 sp1 that uses wireless to get to the Router, and it has no problem with scanning.
    I have followed the recommendations of a number of articles relating to this issue (including: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&​lc=en&docname=c02915410&product=4323659#N94), but there has been no change in behaviour.
    The printer has a static IP address;
    Power settings have been adjusted to Never for Turn off Hard Disk; Sleep and Hybrid Sleep.
    Scanning has been tested with all firewalls and antivirus turned off and in Selective Startup.
    The printer has been plugged directly into the power socket.
    With all these settings the Windows 8.1 cannot scan while the Windows 7 laptop with wireless to the router has no problems.
    Appreciate any insights into this problem.
    I can only surmise that the problem is a compatibility problem between the 8600 Printer and Windows 8.1.
    Any ideas?
    regards,
    Motorbike

    You can determine if there is compatiblity between the printer and PC by checking the Windows 8.1 hardware compatibility list. I have done that and it is shown to be fully compatible.  If the driver you installed before was only the basic driver,it would explain the lack of scan and copy functionality.
    Download and install the Windows 8.1 full feature driver and software on the HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF 64bit PC .

    Ok, I fixed it.
    When doing mkinitrd auto it would make an initrd image from the modules at /lib/modules/2.6.16-ARCH when it had to do it from /lib/modules/2.6.16.18-ARCH
    I fixed it with 
    mkinitrd kernel_version=2.6.16.18-ARCH
    Also my menu.lst was wrong, a new image was created under the name of
    initrd-2.6.16.18-ARCH.img.
    My menu.lst pointed to initrd26.img. I didn't change it before because I didn't know, someone should update the wiki article about compiling the kernel from source.

  • [Forum FAQ] Error 0xc0000428 when booting Windows 8 from Windows 7 BCD

    Scenario
    To better analyze this issue, I introduce my test environment firstly.
    I have installed Windows 7 and Windows 8 in separate disks (Figure 1)
    Disk1 (only one partition, C drive): storing BCD
    Disk2 (only one partition, D drive): storing Win 7 system files
    Disk3 (only one partition, E drive): storing Win 8 system files
    Figure 1.
    Then I performed the steps below to boot Windows 8:
    Step 1: Boot the computer from Operation System installation media, then I formatted Disk1 to NTFS and activated it via Diskpart Command-Line Utility. You can use the commands
    below in order to achieve that (Figure 2):
    List volume
    Select volume x
    Format fs=ntfs quick
    Active  
    Figure 2.
    Step 2: I copied the boot files from Windows 7 disk via BCDboot command below:
    Bcdboot d:\windows /s c:                               
    Step 3: I edited the BCD file to add an entry for Windows 8 using the command below:
    Bcdedit /store c:\boot\bcd /create /application osloader
    Steps 4: Since the command above will create a GUID of a new boot object for Windows 8, we can use the following command to represent the GUID:
    Bcdedit /store c:\boot\bcd /set {GUID} device partition=E:
    Bcdedit /store c:\boot\bcd /set {GUID} osdevice partition=E:
    Bcdedit /store c:\boot\bcd /set {GUID} description “win8”
    Bcdedit /store c:\boot\bcd /set {GUID} path \windows\system32\winload.exe
    Bcdedit /store c:\boot\bcd /set {GUID} systemroot \windows
    Bcdedit /store c:\boot\bcd /displayorder {GUID} /addlast
    Steps 5: I checked the BCD files by running bcdedit command. (Figure 3)
    Figure 3.
    Symptom
    When I rebooted the computer and selected Windows 8 Operating System to boot, then I encountered the following error message (Figure 4):
    File: \windows\system32\winload.exe
    Status: 0xc0000428
    Info: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file
    Figure 4.
    Cause
    This issue is due to the bootmgr file, we cannot use the bootmgr file of Windows 7 to find the Windows 8 Operating System files.
    Solution
    According to my scenario, I just need to replace the bootmgr file with the bootmgr file residing in the root directory of Windows 8 Operating System.
    If you want to replace it via the command prompt, it is necessary to un-hide the hidden file in the root directory of C and E drive before coping the file. You can use the
    commands below to do that:
    attrib c:\bootmgr -h -s
    attrib e:\bootmgr -h -s
    Copy e:\bootmgr c:\bootmgr /y

    Cause
    This issue is due to the bootmgr file, we cannot use the bootmgr file of Windows 7 to find the Windows 8 Operating System files.
    The Windows 7 bootmgr can indeed boot Windows 8.

    This is on a UEFI system 
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3-K6Fyobz0
    The Windows 8 bootmgr partially loads Windows 8 before offering the boot menu.  By choosing Windows 7, the system must do a reboot.  Using the Windows 7 bootmgr, no reboot is required.

  • Imaq.dll error when boot up Windows

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi DRhatje.
    Good Morning and I hope your well today. Thanks for your post.
    I think thats a pretty good translation,  the error message I was thinking of can be found in the knowledgebase article below.
    The suggested cause of the error is that the IMAQ.exe is set (by default) to start on startup. But if you don't have a framer grabber installed on the machine then you could well see this error. The solution is to remove the exe from the startup list on your system. The steps to do this is listed in the link below but in summary, 
    From the section in the screenshot you sent me you should be able to
    select the "Selective Startup", then navigate to the "Startup" tab and
    uncheck the IMAQBoot.exe.
    If this reverts back to the default
    settings on restart, this is probably an indicator that your Admin
    Rights on this PC are limited.
    I think that a quick way to check
    this is to go to Start>Run and type "regedit". This is essentially a
    more advanced way to manipulate similar settings, but if you don't have
    Admin Rights on the PC then you would most probably be denied access.
    In any case though, please ask one of your IT colleagues to use their
    passwords and change this setting. It will get rid of the warning you
    are seeing until you start using our Vision Hardware and need to
    reactivate it.
    Make sure you click on "Apply" before you exit this utility. 
    Why do I get "IMAQBoot.exe - Entry Point Not Found" error when I restart computer?
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/AD70B1036D5B950B8625752400578CFE?OpenDocument
    This should at least remove the error message upon start up.
    Please let me know how you get on and I hope this helps!

  • Error when installing windows 0x8007000d

    Hi,
    I just purchased a macbook pro retina display 13 inch (Mid 2014) and i've been attempting to install windows 8.1 through bootcamp however I seem to get the same error "cannot open the required file D;\source\install.esd" make sure that the files required for installation are available and restart the installation 0x8007000D".
    I downloaded the iso through the microsoft website onto a windows 7 pc and transferred onto the macbook, from there i just followed the instructions on bootcamp. The error seems to be coming up after i complete the installation on osx, It reboots onto windows 8 and it gives me the error pretty much straight away.
    For clarification i've used a 16gb usb
    Any help would be great
    Thanks in Advance

    Have you looked here?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3986
    Supposedly you need BootCamp 3.1 for Windows 7.
    On a MacPro you can't have the Mac OS in slot 1 if you going to install Windows on a second drive. Just put the blank one in slot #1 (that you want Windows on) and then Mac OS drive in slot #2, #3 or #4 and it should work then.
    Boot Camp can only use up to 2 partitions, Mac as #1 and/or Windows as #2. No 3rd partition. You have to have enough free space to use Boot Camp. If you have a 300 gig disk and you have 200 gigs worth of space used up it will only see the 100 gig of space left. And if it's an old disk you may not have enough CONTINUOUS space for it. The files may be all over and it can't find enough free space.
    If on a second (blank) disk what I did was use Disk Utility to format/partition (UFS, Journaled) the whole disk as 1 partition and then let Boot Camp/Windows 7 (I used XP) repartition the disk as NTFS as the first partition (for XP) and left the second (for storage) alone. Or in your case just let Boot Camp/Windows partition it as one NTFS.
    You have to tell it which one to use. If you don't have a choice then set the partition larger then 32 gigs then you should only have one choice, NTFS.
    The Mac can't write to an NTFS disk so it can't make a NTFS partition. So that is why you just partition it like you would if you were only putting the Mac on it. (On an already blank disk). Then when Boot Camp/Windows takes over then Windows can write the NTFS partition.
    The same with a Mac already on a hard drive. 1 partition. Boot Camp/Windows will then make the 2nd partition an NTFS partition (or what ever you want).
    Hope this helps....

    If on a second (blank) disk what I did was use Disk Utility to format/partition (UFS, Journaled) the whole disk as 1 partition and then let Boot Camp/Windows 7 (I used XP) repartition the disk as NTFS as the first partition (for XP) and left the second (for storage) alone. Or in your case just let Boot Camp/Windows partition it as one NTFS.
    You have to tell it which one to use. If you don't have a choice then set the partition larger then 32 gigs then you should only have one choice, NTFS.
    The Mac can't write to an NTFS disk so it can't make a NTFS partition. So that is why you just partition it like you would if you were only putting the Mac on it. (On an already blank disk). Then when Boot Camp/Windows takes over then Windows can write the NTFS partition.
    The same with a Mac already on a hard drive. 1 partition. Boot Camp/Windows will then make the 2nd partition an NTFS partition (or what ever you want).
    Hope this helps....

    Are those with a problem using share level security on the samba server?
    Have you tried accessing the share using smbclient? (smbclient //server/share)
    I have been receiving the original dbus error for some time now.
    I am using share level security on the server.
    Using smbclient results in a segfault. Using nautilus also results in an error from libsmbclient which can be seen in one of the log files.
    [mythtv@tvee ~]$ smbclient //sirschmoopy/shared
    Enter mythtv's password:
    Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.5.1]
    Server not using user level security and no password supplied.
    Segmentation fault
    There is a samba bug which looks similar but it only affects people with ipv6 disabled. I have disabled and enabled ipv6 several times and the errors persist.
    I think it may be related to this bug: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7250
    I haven't tried the patch provided yet.

  • Installing the Windows IoT insider preview on SD card when booting Windows 10 from VHD Native Boot

    The setup instructions for the raspberry pi 2 mention that "you
    will need to follow these instructions on a physical Windows machine (and not a VM) because you need access to the SD card reader."
    Will this work if you boot Windows 10 natively from a VHD (like
    this) or does the virtualization still get in the way?

    If you insert the SD card and can see it in explorer or when you perform the diskpart command to list drives, then it should work, since in effect the VHD is the native OS at that point.  If you don't see the card, then you'll have to perform a local
    install.

    You may notice and are able to correct an issue in the /etc/fstab or your mounted root filesystem.
    Equally your mounted /var/log/messages /var/log/boot or /var/log/dmesg may show something.
    thanksBefore you execute chroot /mnt/sysimage these files are located at:
    /mnt/sysimage/etc/fstab
    /mnt/sysimage/var/log/messages
    /mnt/sysimage/var/log/boot
    /mnt/sysimage/var/log/dmesg
    After you execute chroot /mnt/sysimage these files are located at:
    /etc/fstab
    /var/log/messages
    /var/log/boot
    /var/log/dmesg
    The first file /etc/fstab is where which swap partitions are mounted at startup are defined, so if you say you are hanging creating swap partitions that is where to look.
    The other files are log files, hopefully there is something informative particularly at the end of them
