Move some of the "crap" off the C drive. Programs only install to the default OS drive.
Or upgrade the computer to a larger hard drive.

Right-click on each of the devices that reference Option (com ports and so on). Select Update driver software and browse to the folder with the unzipped .inf files.

Macbook bad DVD drive how to install windows in bootcamp

My macbook has a bad DVD drive. I just upgraded it to snow leopard and want to install windows using bootcamp. Unfortunately when the windows installation starts the machine reboots but does not seem to be able to detect the windows disc in an external dvd that I have attached to it. I tried two different usb dvd readers and finally a firewire one I had laying around to no avail.
without the DVD drive working, how can I get it to install Windows?
thanks very much in advance for any help

Hi Amy
Welcome to Apple discussions.
This particular forum is for student software developers so you might not get an answer to your question. I suggest you post it again, but this time to one of the Boot Camp forums. Maybe someone there will have the answer you want.
Best wishes and good luck

Macbook retina has no CD drive - how to install Windows??

I have the new Macbook 15" retina and I'm trying to install Windows 7 via Bootcamp, but I just realized there is no CD/DVD drive on this model to insert the Windows disc. How to I install Windows and the drivers???

I am not 100% sure, but the retina mbp is the only new MBP that allows booting fron an external DvD drive.
If it will not boot directly, use another computer to make an ISO file (on USB) from the Windows CD and use that one to install Windows. The OS10.7 and 10.8 Bootcamp can not handle XP only 7 and 8.

Replacing Hard Drive - How to install windows 8.1

Hi,
I have an HP Envy dv6 with a 1TB hard drive. The thing is that i'm thinking of buying a 256 SSD to configure as primary disk and the current HDD as second. My question is: when installing the SSD, how can I install windows 8.1 and use my original windows key?
I've searched in the battery and on the back of my laptop and I couldn't find the serial number. Some people says that is its embeded in the motherboard and when windows is installed it automatically recognize the serial. But my main concern is how can I get a Windows 8.1 version to install. Should I download an .iso from any internet site? how can I know that that version is compatible with my serial number?
Thanks a lot

Hi Jackcabad. Thanks for the answer. I think this solves most of my concerns but I still can't figure out where is my w8 serial number stored and how can i know it. Can you provide information on that?
Thanks!

Erased Drive; How to Install?

I've just purchased a new iMac, and am sending this 1st gen iMac G5 to our daughter.
I erased the drive in preparation for shipment, and just now realized that she may have problems installing OS X Leopard on it. The iMac has a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Will she be able to install Leopard with these, or will she need to connect a wired keyboard/mouse for the installation?
(BTW, after I'd erased the drive, I had to eject the Leopard DVD via firmware, as the eject button on the keyboard didn't do anything).
Will she run into problems, or should I recommend that she carry it in to her Apple Store?
Thanks!

Wow!!! Talk about a quick reply!!!!
Thanks for the advice. It's already been shipped, so testing it isn't an option at this point (my bad!).
She's pretty excited about getting it, as she's been "limping" along on an old, processor-upgraded G4 for quite a while now. (I'd installed Leopard, and the processor upgrade made it VERY unstable. Unfortunately, it's a 3rd-hand computer, and the original owner can't remember where she got the processor upgrade. It's now running Tiger, and a lot of the iLife functions no longer work).
This computer, on its way to her, should be able to run just about everything except iMovie 08.
Thanks again!

Dvd player failing - How to install OS for experts

Hello there,
tricky situation here. I'm the owner of a nice macbook white (old generation 1.83 Core Duo). Sfter 3 years the machine is still working quite well, the video card is not at its best but the machine is still working fine. Now recenlty the dvd player on my macbook has been acting up, it would not read some discs etc, it was a sort of a mirable when I managed to reinstall Tiger.
Now the machine could be fine with Tiger but I would like to use Leopard on it.The problem is I can not install it on the macbook, the player is not very realiable anymore. Now I own an imac 24" that has been bought a few weks ago...I thought I would connect the two machines with a firewire cable and do the assistant migrator etc BUT it's almost impossible to find the specific cable her ein my hometown. I honestly don't want to spend a fortune buying it online....so I was thinking about using a USB cable instead....would that be possible? if yes, what is the procedure I have to follow?
thanx in advance to all the persons who will give me some help with this task

Hi there and welcome back to Apple Discussions!
There are two ways of performing this task, and one is easier than the other. For both, you must have a Firewire 400 cable. You can buy these for a few bucks on ebay (at least 6 footer, 6 pin to 6 pin).
1.Use Target Disk Mode to complete the installation from a 10.5 Retail Install DVD in the iMac.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
Once the Macbook is booted into Target mode, start the iMac up from the Install DVD. The Target Disk should then be available for installation.
2. If you have problems with that method, there is another workaround that is a little more complicated. You can install 10.5 onto partition/external drive of your imac, and use Disk Utility to "restore" it to the Macbook's hard drive (via TDM). You shouldn't have to do it this way, and method one should work fine. But this is a second way just in case.
You will not be able to use a USB cable, as there is yet no way to connect two macs via a USB cable. An external hard drive is the only way to transfer information via USB.
If you have any questions, just let me know!
Good luck!

Replacing The Hard Drive, How To Install The OS Again?

Hi all again! Sorry for posting so many questions.
I have a macbook pro late 2011 model. I want to replace the hard drive with an SSD drive but I am not too familiar with Mac products. My question is... do I just take out the old hard drive and put the new one in? Is there a CD with the Max OS on it that I could then use to install the OS onto the new drive?
Thanks!

There are a large number of DIY's, HowTo's and the like on the subject, may want to search a bit.
If you re comfortable to the layout and content of the current internal drive, the quick & dirty would be:
Get an external enclosure for the new drive.
Connect/power up, then use Disk Utility to prep the drive for Mac use: GUID partition scheme & Apple Extended (Journaled).
Use Disk Utility or CarbonCopyCloner to clone the internal volume onto the external.
Test to ensure all is well.
Swap drives when ok.

I erased my main drive: how to install Mavericks?

I was running Yosemite Beta on my iMac, but it was acting funny. A dialog told me to back it up and erase and reinstall. I copied the internal drive to a FireWire drive as a clone. Then I booted from the firewire drive. Then I did something very stupid. I erased my main drive, my internal Macintosh HD. I thought I would be able to reinstall the Yosemite beta on my main drive after I booted But now I can't boot up all the way from either of my FireWire drives, which have the proper software on them; they were cloned from the original drive, and worked until I erased the main drive. The boot up process stops about a minute into the process. So how do I get a copy of at least Lion or Mountain Lion or Mavericks on to the main drive? I'm stuck. I don't know how to do that.

Oh, they're clones. Made them with SuperDuper. They boot, but they stopped after I erased the Macintosh HD.
I've found a way to make them boot again, however. I tried safe boot, single user, netboot -- no deal. I found a cd copy I made of Lion, way back, and tried to see if it would mount -- of course it didn't -- but I just tried one more time, went to make coffee, and returned to my first computer screen in two days. It's still kind of working. I wonder if the ROM in my 24", 2.66 Ghz, iMac 9,1, just can't accept a bare drive on the internal bus. Or, it seems that there is something wrong with the drive. I get this message in the Crash log every minute or so.

Doesn't sound very good. I'm wondering if I've just gotten a lot of bad sectors. But I'd love to just do an iFixit on it, put in a new 1 TB drive -- I'm not bad with these projects -- and then go from there.

No internet, i have driver. how to install wireless driver?

I have had Arch installed on one of my three HDs for a while. I have just switched over to wireless. I bought the Asus PCE-N13 pci card. It works great on my other distro i have installed on my other HD - ubuntu (which is where I type this from).
I have the driver disk the card came with (yes, it actually supports linux). The driver is rt2860.
When I boot into my Arch HD, I am just lost as to what to do to install the driver to get my wireless working for Arch.
I'll take any tips.
Thanks,
Randy
Also, I have tried to use the Arch Wiki, but that is difficult for me personally to follow.

I can't help you with installing the driver that did come with the card.
However I notice that there is a rt2860 driver on the AUR. You could try to install it and see if it works.
To install from the AUR you need yaourt (or equivalent). If you don't have it, add following lines to the
end of /etc/pacman.conf:
[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686
Then execute on the command line: pacman -S yaourt
And after that: yaourt -S rt2860
Just my 2 cents.
