New gen Mac Mini: Boot Camp install problems

I've got a new version Mac Mini that was just released, 4GB RAM, 250GB hard drive.
Fired up Boot Camp, and pressed the button offering a 32GB Windows partition.
It rebooted into my OEM XP Pro SP2 CD, and installed OK (as in it loaded the files).
The Mini then reboots, and dies with these 3 lines:
*Press any key to boot from CD.....*
*Disk error*
*Press any key to restart*
BTW, pressing any key does NOT restart anything. I have to use the power button to down it.
I popped out the XP boot CD by holding down the mouse, and then downed the system again.
Then I held down the Option key, which offers me the boot menu, and I selected Windows.
It then dies again with the bottom 2 lines.
I've tried removing the partition, and asking Boot Camp to make a 30GB partition.
Same end results (it takes awhile obviously to get to the failure).
Also tried a brand-new XP Pro SP3 install CD. Same results.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Austra,
I figured it out last night, and you are correct, the default Windows install method will NOT work.
When XP first boots, it actually offers 5 choices, and the default is "Use this filesystem as-is without formatting". It will happily install, but that default choice does not write the MBR (master boot record) onto the disk. When you reboot again, the MBR isn't there, and the firmware halts. One little 512-byte sector keeps it from working.
Really, Apple should write a MBR onto that partition during the Boot Camp process, it wouldn't be all that much extra trouble.

  • New Macbook Pro retina boot camp install issue - Windows 7

    Trying to complete a boot camp install but can't get past creating a partition.  I am able to download the windows drivers through boot camp, it burns them to a DVD, verifies the DVD (couldn't use CD-R as it kept saying burn failure after verifying files) and then takes me to the make a partition page.  When i click install the partition, it pops up saying "can't find the installer disc" and wants me to put one in the super drive.  What gives?  I have that disc in the drive, also tried the Windows 7 disc and got the same error.  So basically I can't create a partition to install windows 7 that I have.
    Any thoughts?

    The disk was from my other PC system, however it is an OEM upgrade disc.  Maybe that is the problem but if that is the case why did it work when I installed it through VMware and it worked fine?  The disc can be used as a self full install of windows 7.  I have also it on another PC with no issues.  Trying to convert to Mac finally but this is causing a hiccup.
    The next question then is do I really need to go the boot camp way?  I only need it to run quickbooks (need windows version for reasons) and a couple of other programs but thought it may run better as a boot camp install rather than VM plus I couldn't figure out how to reduce the size of the partition that VM installs, it takes too much space from me for no reason (60Gb).
    Thanks for any input.

  • New 2012 Mac mini having screen resolution problem when I connect to either 27" LG or 22" Hannspree monitor. Tried mini display port to VGA/HDMI and HDMI to DVI-D cables... all same isse

    New 2012 Mac mini having issues in connecting to third party Monitors. Connected my mac mini to a 27" LG monitor. Text looks blurred. Tried connecting to the monitor using 3 options. 1) mini port to HDMI, then HDMI cable to LG monitor. 2) Mini port to VGA, then VGA cable to monitor 3) HDMI port on mini mac to DVI-D cable then DVI to DVI cable... In all cases text is not clear. Anyone has similar issues with latest mini mac. The monitor works fine when I connect to a windows 7 Samsung laptop. Any input is highly appreciated. Thanks in Advance

    Why do you use always 2 cables? There's a lot that can go wrong.
    1.) Hardware:
    - Use only one cable, best an HDMI->HDMI cable. It doesn't need to be an expensive one, they've proven to be no worse than those "esoteric", expensive ones.
    - Set the monitor to the HDMI input.
    - The modes you are listing are only "picture modes" changing color/brightness/contrast settings, not resolution or the likes, so pick the one you like best later, or enter your own settings under Custom.
    2.) OS X:
    - Usually the Mac detects the screen itself and chooses the best settings, so by default you need to do nothing than make a proper hardware connection to get a decent image.
    - However, there have been issues with new Mac Minis and particularly their HDMI ports. But reportedly they have been fixed with a software update. So, launch the App Store and check under Updates if there is one for you to install. If so, do it; otherwise you should be good to go.
    - If you require, go to System Preferences -> Displays. In the Dispaly tab, by default, "Best for display" should be selected, and that is typically true. If you want, select "Scaled" and 1920x1080, plus a frequency from the list (where higher is usually better, but just pick the one that works best for you). If you can't see a change to the better, you best go back to "Best for display".
    - If you are not happy with the colors on your screen, you'll find eventually more than one choice in the Color tab, though your particular screen should be in the list and its Display Profile should get you the best result. (Double-check picture modes on your display: if you're far off there, you won't make it much better with the Mac's settings).

  • Mac Mini / Boot Camp / XP Pro / Black Screen with DVI display

    Boot camp partitioned the hard drive on my new Mac Mini and restarted after I clicked Start Installation, but came up to a black screen. No blue installation screen, nothing.
    I downed it with the power button and unhooked the display from the DVI port. I went and got a VGA cable instead and hooked it up via the DVI/VGA adapter and started up again with the Option key. Chose the Windows XP Pro SP2 installation CD and it went through the Windows installation OK.
    The trouble is this Norwood Micro HD17A (17" widescreen) looks TERRIBLE on VGA whether I run Windows or Mac OS, because there's no selection for 1280 x 768 resolution. It looks great on DVI both on Mac OS and in Windows once I get XP Pro to load.
    After logging in to Windows I can unhook the VGA cable and adapter and reconnect the monitor using the DVI. The moment I do this Windows looks great, with native resolution supported and everything's fine. But this is a terribly cumbersome login procedure!
    It seems that XP Pro has no trouble communicating with this display, provided I can get Windows to load. I contacted Apple Support but they say it's a problem with Windows, so I submitted a support request to Microsoft. I'm waiting for them to tell me it's a problem with Boot Camp or the firmware.
    I've seen descriptions of very similar problems on other forums (123macmin.com) and here, but no solutions anywhere. Anybody know what's happening here?

    Update: Microsoft says it's probably a problem with the hardware:
    ==========================================
    Mark, I would like to explain that the issue should be related to the display card driver. We still need to contact the Apple support to verify if their machine has been tested under the XP environment when DVI or AVG is in use. This issue is related to Hardware and cannot be resolved from a Windows XP standpoint. Our Windows XP Support Team deals mainly with issues related to the Windows XP Operating System. Thus, we are not the best resource for this issue.
    Please understand the problem may be beyond our support boundary and, therefore, our help to troubleshoot this issue is limited. Let’s contact the manufacturer who will be more familiar with their products. To contact them, please access the following link:

  • Mac mini, boot camp, windows vista/windows 7, DVI to HDMI, no display

    I have a mac mini from 2008 on which I have put windows Vista via boot camp. I have connected the mini using DVI to HDMI, to my Sony Bravia 1080p HDTV.
    When I log into the mac 10.6.2, all seems fine and I can see the display alright.
    When I log into Windows Vista, I cannot. The display stays black even though I hear the Windows startup sound.
    I tried force-upgrading to Windows 7 and the same thing. In fact at some point I can see some of the stuff (like when starting in safe mode), but as soon as it boots up, the display goes blank.
    Normally I can see the display up to the point where it says loading Microsoft windows (with the small progress bar) and then, nothing.
    Any clues what may be happening?

  • I recently purchased new Mac Mini with Lion installed. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini.

    I recently purchased a new Mac Mini with Lion installed. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini. Everything else syncs great, and iCal syncs from my Mini to my Touch. My Touch has the latest iOS installed. I have tried rebooting my Touch, removing the sync calendars option from iTunes>Info and checking it again after applying and closing iTunes, and restarting my Mini. Any help will be appreciated!

  • Can the new Mac Mini boot Snow Leopard from an external hard drive?

    I currently boot my 2009 Mac Mini from a FW800 external drive with 10.6.8. If I just plug my external drive into a new 2011 Mac Mini, will it boot into Snow Leopard if I set it as the startup disk or will I get a kernel panic?

    I bought a 2011 Mac Mini, which came with Lion installed. I thought maybe I could repartition it and have a Snow Leopard partition. So I repartitioned it (500gb split into two 250gb partitions). I named the new partition "SnowLeopard" just to make it easy for me to tell the difference.
    I attached the external DVD and put in a Snow Leopard installer disc, holding down the C key so it would boot and install from that, but it just spun for awhile. Doesn't appear to work.
    Then I read somewhere else that someone had managed to clone a copy of Snow Leopard onto an external drive and boot from that. In their situation they were talking about a MacBook, but the principle seemed sane.
    So I rebooted, holding down the T key to put the Mac Mini into Target hard disk mode, and attached it via Firewire to another MacMini (circa 2008 or so, not sure of year, but it was upgraded last year to Snow Leopard and has been upgraded along and along). Then I used Carbon Copy Cloner to copy Snow Leopard (that is, the entire hard disk-- System and all applications and data) to my newer Mac Mini's "snow leopard" partition.
    For yucks, when it was done cloning, I restarted the older Mac Mini, and had it boot from the newer Mac Mini's snow leopard partition--- it worked! To make it easy to tell the difference, I changed the desktop background to something completely different. I think I tried booting from Lion but I can't remember if that worked.
    Then I rebooted the newer Mac Mini, which booted up in Lion, of course. Going into System Settings, I changed the startup disk to the "snow leopard" partition, and rebooted, and it booted up in Snow Leopard.
    I have yet to test the applications on the Snow Leopard partition. Another problem has arisen.
    Because with both of the Mac MInis being active on the network, they both had the same computer and user name. So I renamed the newer Mac Mini to something completely different, and changed the password.
    Unfortunately, now I cannot change any other setting in the System Settings that requires a password. While the newer Snow Leopard lets me log in with the new user and new password, whenever I try to click the "lock" icon to change something, I'm prompted for a username and password. Apparently this is some different username and password than either the new or old username/password.
    I've tried various combinations of both: new user/old password, old user/new password, old user/old password, etc.
    So if you do what I've done, be careful about changing the username and password on your cloned computer. I think it may be wiser to create a new user and then delete the old cloned users. I may just have to re-clone the old Mac Mini to the new one again.
    If anyone has any ideas about this password conundrum, please pass along!

  • Dual boot OS X 10.10 plus OS X 10.6.8 on new 2014 Mac Mini?

    Hi,
    I am currently thinking about buying a 2014 Mac Mini. As I still need to use some very expensive (albeit old) software, I would like to run a copy of OS X 10.6.8 (strapped for cash).
    I currently own a 2011 MacBook Pro 17" and I have partitioned the disk and run OS X 10.9.5 on 700GB and OS X 10.6.8 on 50GB. This has worked great for the past 2 years. I simply press ‘alt’ on booting and select my OS depending on which software I need to run.
    My question is, can I do the same with a new 2014 Mac Mini using one of my Time Machine back-ups (install from Time Machine option on istall)?
    I would be very grateful to anyone who can offer me some advice.
    Many thanks,

    Other than running Mac OS X 10.6.8 Server in a virtual machine as previously suggested your next best option is to consider buying a secondhand older Mac that is capable of running 10.6.8.
    Just to make it clearer, 'ordinary' 10.6.8 is not allowed due to Apple's license terms to be run in a virtual machine only the 'server' version is. The server version of 10.6.8 can run normal applications and you do not have to use the server bits itself. If you try installing the 'ordinary' 10.6.8 in to a virtual machine it will not work as they check for this.
    The new 2014 Mac mini will not run 10.9.5 either, the 'oldest' version the 2014 model will run is 10.10, it will of course also run 10.10.1.
    1)     Older Macs are just that: older and out of warranty.  So of course the user is subject to the risk of hardware failure without necessarily much warning and little or no recourse (other than purchasing another older Mac) when the hardware does fail.  This may also be a different problem for the OP, as cost appears to be a major consideration here.
    2)     The use of Snow Leopard Server in Parallels will cost about $99 retail (less, if some shopping for "discounts" on Parallels is done on the internet).
    Installing Snow Leopard Server into Parallels for DUMMIES:

    3)     It was a common myth that the Snow Leopard EULA prohibited its virtualization in Lion and thereafter on a Mac.  That myth has been debunked in the 3-1/2 years since Lion was first released and repeating it now does not make anything "clearer" but only tends to confuse an OP.
    In any event whatever remains of that long forgotten debate is now mostly moot since Apple reduced the sales price of Snow Leopard Server by 95% (by telephone orders only; 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753) - Apple Part Number: MC588Z/A); that is, for the same $20 as it sells Snow Leopard client and it is much easier to install, use and maintain Snow Leopard Server in virtualization, including Parallels.

  • 2010 Mac Pro Boot Camp - Refuses to boot Windows after installing Boot Camp drivers

    Hey all,
    I have a quad 3.2Ghz 2010 Mac Pro with a Radeon 5870 and 8 GB RAM.
    I have 2 10000RPM WD Raptor drives, the first drive is my Lion boot drive. The 4th bay contains the second Raptor which has Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit installed. Bay 2 has Time Machine, bay 3 has a Windows backup drive.
    I had first installed Windows and the Boot Camp drivers a few months ago and everything was humming along smoothly. Monday I tried to boot into Windows and it crashed immediately after the black Booting Windows screen started to change to the login window. This happened repeatedly. Nothing changed on the system that I am aware of. Whenever I tried to boot windows again, it booted into the repair mode. That did not seem to work because after running the repair it would still not boot.
    So I did what is usually required of Windows, and that was to reinstall. I reformatted the hard drive, ran Boot Camp assistant, and started the install.
    Everything was peachy so far, so I tried to reinstall the Boot Camp drivers (4.0). Did a reboot. Same problem. Doh!
    So I did ANOTHER reinstall, and everything was fine. But this time I tried to install the Boot Camp drivers off the os install disc that came with my Mac (3.1). Still no go!
    So finally I did my third reinstall and after that I did not install Boot Camp drivers. However, I did load up the CD and individually installed drivers for the Apple Mouse, Apple Keyboard, Cinema Display, etc. No problems whatsoever. Everything is actually still humming along fine.
    So it looks like running the full Boot Camp install for some reason no longer works. Which means I am missing the Apple Boot Camp control panel, but that's not really a big deal. Althought it's quite annoying to not have the functionality of the special Mac keyboard keys like volume control, etc.
    Has anyone run into this? I thought it might be a hardware problem but my Mac OS X OS exhibits no problems whatsoever.
    Thanks!

    Thank you to The hatter.
    I have a Mac Pro mid 2010 with a SSD and several internal hard disks. For some time I was trying to install Windows 7 on a fresh boot camp volume on a new WD 7200rpm 1TB hard disk. It was taking hours to install, and then I had a series of failures to reboot that proved permanent. The Window Repair utility would come up and took forever to repair the volume - but failed to actually do so, requiring completion reinstallation of the bootcamp volume. This occurred three times, between 1 day and 2 months after installation. I had already moved the Windows drive in to drive slot 1 of the Mac Pro.
    Eventually I gave up and installed boot camp on a secondary partition of the SSD. This worked fine, however is limited in capacity. So yesterday I thought I would try to install Windows on the hard disk again. The Windows installer took many hours to do its thing, and eventually a message came up that the installation had failed.
    I took your tip about possible hard disk failure, and ran Techtool Pro surface scan. It turns out that there are lots of bad blocks being reported. According to Micromat's documentation, the bad blocks being reported are those that may be in critical areas of the disk that cannot be mapped out. They recommend low level reinitialisation (with zeros) to map out the bad blocks, if possible. I am now running Apple's Disk Utility to do this, and fingers crossed that this reinitialisation succeeds, or I will have to replace the drive.

    It maybe trying to boot from the incomplete install.
    Try starting your Mac while holding down the Option key, it should then list all the available boot drives including the Mac OS X one. Boot from the Mac one and then you can wipe the damaged PC one or set the Mac to stay booting in to OS X.

  • Using External Boot Drive with New Intel Mac Mini

    I have a 1st Gen MacMini and use an external 7200 RPM Lacie drive as the system boot drive along with all the applications.
    If I were to purchase a new Intel Mac Mini, is it possible to use the current external drive as the system drive or is there some conversion steps that would be necessary ?
    Thank you.

    You can use the hardware, but will have to repartition and reinstall the OS from the disk shipped with the new Mac Mini.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303220
    If you create a disk image of the Lacie on your Mini, you can later use setup assistant to restore users and applications from that image.

  • New Intel Mac Mini Start-up Problems

    I've recently purchased a new Intel Mac Mini (my first Mac after switching from a PC). Several times (probably once a day), the mac mini won't start-up.
    I've noticed it happens after I've used iPhoto or iDVD. The mini becomes busy and performance seems to slow. After the software has finished its task, I can exit the application fine and shut down the mini.
    When I then go to boot the mini, the little blue light comes up, but nothing else happens. It's almost as though it's in sleep mode (which it isn't). I've tried different ways to wake it using the keyboard, mouse and start button, but nothing.
    The Mac Mini will only start-up again if it is unplugged from the mains and left for several minutes.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Is there something I'm doing wrong that my lack of Mac knowledge may not be aware of?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I have been frustrated by the same issue. My (admittedly non-professional) diagnosis is that the problem is related to heat build up. I am able to boot normally only after forcing a hard shut down and waiting for "a while" (5 minutes is not enough, 30 minutes does the trick). Thus my hypothesis that an appropriate cooling down period is needed.
    Any similar thoughts? I'm calling Apple today...

  • Mac Mini Booting Problem

    My mac mini has developed a problem starting up. The computer turns on and goes to the gray screen but on the gray screen the apple logo does not appear. After a few minutes the screen just goes gray with a folder flashing from a question mark to a finder logo. I tried the reinstall disks but nothing happend. Any ideas??
    jesse

    The timing of holding down the C key to boot from the install disk can be tricky. You may have to experiment.
    Force the Mini to turn off by holding down the power button for 5 seconds. Then restart and hold down the C key as soon as you hear the startup chime or beep. (Again, you may have to experiment with the timing slightly -- and you have to have a wired USB keyboard for this to work. Borrow one if you don't have one.)
    If none off this works, you can usually eject the CD during the startup process by holding down the mouse button, assuming you have a wired mouse.
