My Bootcamp partition doesn't show up when I go to install Windows...

I just partitioned my hard drive to install windows. When I open up the Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows, it doesn't let me select which partition to install it on. It attempts to install on to my Mac partition. The Bootcamp partition is available on my Desktop, but it's not showing up in the Assistant. Any suggestions on how to install Windows?
Thanks,
Allie

Yes, it matters very much which service pack version of Windows XP you are attempting to install.
I tried to install XP on a Boot Camp partition, and it only showed the C drive as my entire hard drive. Not knowing better, I selected that one thinking that I could back out and not choose format - just have a look. But! Just selecting it and hitting enter completely deleted my Mac OS X partition. Luckily there was nothing important on it, but wow! Anyway, long story short - be very very careful when installing Windows under Boot Camp, and stay well away from installations of XP less than SP 2.

    No. You need to buy it for your Apple ID and for the other. You will have problems with updates

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

    if your computer does not support the operating system you wish to install in bootcamp then you have to use a virtual machine like virtual box to install the operating system you wish to install

    Your issue is completely different. You are running Snow Leopard. There is no download for Windows Support software for Snow Leopard, hence the error you see. Snow Leopard Windows Support software is on the Snow Leopard installation disk.
    You need the Snow Leopard installation disk or a replacement for it.

    Hi Guys
    I have an issue please help on that earliest.

    Is this a clean install or an upgrade?  20 GB, though greater than the minimum, is pretty minimal.  How much memory do you have on the system?  2008 would try to create a page file of 1.5x physical memory, so if you are building on a large
    memory system, you could be having an issue there.
    "Pls resolve this issue immediately"
    Forums are not for support.  They are monitored by people, like yourself, who are willing to take time out of their days to provide the benefit of their past experience.  If you need support, you need to purchase a support contract from Microsoft
    or some other party.

  • A song I bought is on my iPod Touch but doesn't show up when I plug in my iPod to my computer. Why?

    I recently bought a song off of iTunes. It shows up on my iPod Touch, but when I plug my iPod into my computer it doesn't show up with the rest of my songs. I tried deleting the song directly from my iPod by swiping the screen (which I normally do) but the delete button doesn't show up. When I try deleting other songs directly from my iPod by swiping the screen, the delete button comes up. Why is this happening? How can I get my song to show up on my computer? How can I delete the song?

    It worked! Thank you!
    But how come it didn't work when I first plugged in my iPod into the computer?

  • Artwork on ipod but doesn't show up when synced to itunes

    I have a first gen. touch and I just downloaded the latest version of iTunes onto a new computer running Windows 7. Everything is working fine expect that when the touch is synced the artwork on the ipod doesn't show up in the itunes display window. The artwork in my itunes library displays, the artwork is displayed when using the touch...but itunes won't show any of the touch artwork in the artwork window. In other words all the artwork is there but itunes won't display it when ipod is synced.

    I'm experiencing the same thing. Happened after I tried activating iTunes Match (not sure if it's related though).

  • Smartform doesn't show preview when the records exceed the main window size

    Hi
    When i print the smart form having line items exceeding the main window size on the page it does not show the preview. The internal table loop goes into infinite loop. Is there any means whereby if the records don't fit on the main window of the page will be continued to the next page. Right now I have no clue how it is to be resolved. I feel the problem is in layout, as when i remove the main window the internal table code works fine and it does not move in infinite loop. Please help me resolve this issue.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    I have deleted the table from main window and instead inserted a loop.
    Also i created the two pages. But the problem still persists.
    But for my requirement my each line item in the main window has 3 lines.
    Also my layout will be the same for all pages so is there a need to create a new page.
    Is there any mechanism whereby if the line items dont fit on the mainwindow of the page will automatically continue on another page without having to define it.. please guide? Right now the smartform goes in infinite loop if it doesn't fit in main window size
    Thanks

  • The Pages doesn't show information when the application is deployed

    Why when I deployed one simple web fussion application (jdevelopper 11.1.1.0.0) with only one page with only one View Object to another web logic server (10.3) in another pc.

    and doesn't show the form.
    When I run the application from embedded web logic server it works fine.

  • Part of .pdf doesn't show text when opened in firefox but does show when downloaded to the desktop

    when I open this link within firefox the chart (page 3 on) doesn't open. When I download the .pdf to my desktop all the information is filled in.
    http://www.tradestocksamerica.com/dsr-pdf/TheDailyStockReport_2013-02-25-Monday_Morning.pdf
    i noticed on my laptop, where the entire contents of the .pdf is viewable, within Firefox - under
    Firefox / Tools / Options / Applications / there is an app called JPS file whereas on the desktop this app does not appear

    Have you researched the site you mentioned? I went to it and WOT gave me a red flag.
    At this moment, we are aware of issues pertaining to PDF.js and we suggest installing the following add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pdfjs/

  • When I perform a split audio edit, the timeline doesn't show it when the clips are collapsed!

    Especially the clip whose audio is 'covering' another... the timeline doesn't show it's audio as extending, and it would appear only that the clip for which audio has been shortened, is still there, or at "0"... what gives? If you uncollapse the audio, or detach it, you do, once again, see the split audio.
    Thanks

    Like Zambonisurfer suggested, this is so by design.

  • {Solved} Windows 8.1 Doesn't show users when windows loads, only shows options for accessibility and shutdown/restart

    I just recently come into a problem on a dell all-in-one, where the computer has been updated to windows 8.1 and doesn't show users, only a blue screen with the power options and accessibility options and here is how I fixed it.
    Note: you will lose your desktop apps
    1. Turn on computer and let load to the blue screen with the options
    2. While holding down shift click on the power button and then click restart (while still holding shift)
    3. Hold shift until the advanced recovery options comes up
    4. click on Troubleshoot>Refresh your PC
    5.Enter password for user account
    6. Let it do its magic
