No network devices using Windows 7 and Boot Camp

I've tried downloading on the Mac the Boot Camp Assistant drivers file, but it won't write to the USB drive and balks at using a DVD.
I've tried downloading from www.apple.com the Boot Camp Support Software for Windows 7 but when I try to open the zip file and copy to a USB, it keeps saying to provide the last volume, as if the downloaded files weren't complete. Almost to the point of giving up. Help!

Try this.

You can also us a Windows PC to download them, extract the ZIP file and copy them to a USB thumb drive if your Mac can't handle that simple task.

Windows 7 and boot camp issue

On an iMac a1224 I installed windows 7 then boot camp from the os disc. Bootcamp version 2.1 was installed. The current installation and set up guide suggested updating bootcamp to 3.1 however that particular update requires version 3.0. That being said, is it necessary for me to update my version 2.1?
Thanks

Leeopard huh?
You need Snow Leopard w. 10.6.x to get 3.0.
If it works and no issues fine though probably the first time I have read someone did.
BC 2.2 was more about XP and some support for Vista.

Windows 8 and Boot Camp 5 with Mid-2011 iMac12,2 DISABLING INTEL HD GRAPHICS

There seems to be some issue with this newer Boot Camp 5 and Windows 8 becuase of the Intel HD graphics in the processor. I have a maxed out Intel iMac 27" Mid-2011 with Intel Core i7 and AMD Radeon 6970M 2GB.
When Windows 8 Pro is first installed with Boot Camp 5 USB flash drive everything seems fine. The Intel HD graphics are detected and so is the AMD Radeon. But if the machine is put to sleep the computer resumes and has a BSOD. The reason is igdkmd64.sys.
I think the only way I know of to solve this is to disable the Intel HD graphics in Device Manager before the machine begins crashing. On "first" boot the Intel HD graphics are listed in device manager. Later depending on restart, sleep, hibernate, the Intel HD graphics are listed under hidden devices in Device Manager.
IS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCING THIS?
DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE A SOLUTION BESIDES THIS?

I don't know if it's just my iMac that lists the Intel HD graphics, but one day it showed up in Windows 7 and still exists today in Windows 8. Could somebody see if theirs shows up in Windows in Device Manager? Maybe with Show Hidden Devices checked.
BTW I did a clean install and left the boot camp usb flash drive inserted during the install which automatically installs intel hd and bluetooth and then start boot camp drivers installs after Windows setup is completed.

Can no longer opt boot to Windows; Parallels and Boot Camp issues

So I was reinstalling my Parallels since it wasn't reading my Boot Camp partition correctly and I removed my old boot camp profile in Parallels. I figured this would only affect Parallels. After all, I was going to make a new one since my Parallels wasn't working very well. The removal of the profile seemed painless and it was instantaneous (so I don't think it formatted the partition). I then went to restart, and now my comp won't boot to the partition.
I can no longer view (or access) my files from Windows. I panicked and restored the profile from the trash, but I still can't access the partition. I can't even see Windows from the Start Up disk, but Parallels can detect that I have Windows 7 (even though it won't boot properly).What do I need to do to be able to get my Windows partition back? Do you have any idea whats going on with my comp? Can the removal of a virtual machine profile delete an entire OS in an instant?
Disk Utility says that my partition needs to be repaired, but I don't want to do anything until I get an expert opinion.

WINDOWS ISOs and BOOT CAMP : PERHAPS A SOLUTION ?

Hello to everybody,
I think, after searching a lot, that it is not an ISO that you have to burn on a DVD, so that Boot Camp recognizes it as a Windows Installation DVD. An ISO is an uncompressed image, that contains files, folders, etc.
Here's what I found last night :
*http://www.poweriso.com/download.htm*
and on bottom of page :
"PowerISO for OSX -- This is a free utility for Mac OSX which can extract, list, and convert image files (including ISO, BIN, DAA, and other formats). Type " poweriso -? " for detailed usage information. File Size: 243KB Download Now".
So did I, and obtained that file : "poweriso-1.3-osx.tar.gz".
Clicking on it to uncompress it, I had this result in a folder :
"poweriso", which is an Unix Executable File (791 KB)
You only have to place any ISO at the same place as "poweriso", click on ISO,
and all files contained in it (which is an uncompressed image) appear.
In my case, I clicked on my "WINDOWS 7 ENTERPRISE VL ENGLISH RTM X64.iso",
and here are the 9 main items I obtained, and I think that's what is needed by Boot Camp
to recognize a Windows Install DVD :
— 1 : "autorun.inf" (4KB) ;
— 2 : "boot" (folder, 16.632.708 B for 15 items), containing 9 main items ;
— 3 & 4 : "bootmgr" and "bootmgr.efi" (Unix Executable File(s)) ;
— 5 : "efi" (folder), containing "microsoft" (folder), containing "boot" (16.062.724 B, folder), containing … etc.
— 6 : "setup.exe", 111 KB (Windows Self-Extracting Archive) ;
— 7 : "sources" (3.026.787 B, folder), containing 166 items (in Finder window bar) of all kinds, 923 items in Get Info ;
— 8 : "support" (33.804.337 B, folder), containing 3 folders, 105 items in Get Info ;
— 9 : "upgrade" (42.107.825 B, folder), containing 1 folder, 5 items in Get Info.
Unfortunately, I can't succeed, after burning under different settings (with Toast 10.0.7 Titanium)
5 DVDs with those files on them, to obtain a Windows 7 Installation Disk
that Boot Camp would recognize, IN THE END.
Am I using the right application ? I've a lot of other burning DVDs apps,
and I've also seen somewhere that Disk Utility could be used, but does it open ISOs, because I think it's the contents that matters.
I've only tried, for the moment, ISO 9660 settings (several options). Does anyone have any idea(s), suggestion(s) ? Is there a file that you think could be MISSING ? Of course, I tried not to bore you with all details of the contents of files.
Please, tell me if you have ANY info about how I must do, which ISO 9660 options I have to choose (Joliet, Mac names),
am I right using ISO 9660 rules, do I have to REMOVE or ADD anything etc. ? Should I (and could I, under OS X) MODIFY any text as we use to do sometimes in Terminal ?
I wonder also having found Mac stuff in different places : "bootfix.bin" _(MacBinary Encoded File)_ was in "boot" folder, and "efisys_noprompt.bin" and "efisys.bin" _(MacBinary Encoded File(s)) were in "efi"/"microsoft"/"boot" folder.
Why are these files in a Windows ISO ? Were they created by poweriso (for OS X) when opening ISO ?
Do I have to burn Boot Camp 3.1 for Windows (provided by Apple) on the Windows Install DVD ?
I think it serves AFTER installation, or do I make a mistake ?
*Another question :* why should I let Boot Camp create a (FAT32 formatted) 32 GB partition (in fact, it creates more if you verify, and it shouldn't), when I know that, when installing, Windows 7 Enterprise will format his space with NTFS ?
Wouldn't be more clever to afford it 50 GB, for example, and what exactly does Boot Camp when you decide the Windows partition to be greater than 32 GB ?
Thank you very much in advance for any help, even the shadow of a clue !
With my kind regards,
Olivier Herrbach
PS : I hope this text will not be considered as an already posted problem. If it is so, I sincerely apologize.

It's a simple matter to burn a bootable .ISO image to a DVD using Disk Utility or Toast.
if Boot Camp fails to recognize your DVD then it's either not a bootable disc or the DVD was not created properly. I've burned Windows 7 disc images to DVD several times and they have always worked. But if you have an upgrade image then they are not bootable. You must instead have a previous version of Windows - Vista or XP - installed in order to use an upgrade disc.
To properly burn an image file to a DVD using Disk Utility do the following:
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select Burn from the Images menu.
3. Locate the .ISO file you want to use in the File Open dialog.
4. Click on the Burn button.
You will be prompted to insert a blank disc if one is not already in the drive. When the blank DVD is recognized the Burn button in the DU window will activate.

Windows XP and Boot Camp

Hi
I hope someone can help me because I think I am going to go mad. Basically I want to play Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 on my 2011 Macbook Air via Boot Camp. I am a bit unsure on how to use boot camp, do I need to download the latest windows support software from Apple? Also it mentions Windows 7 on all the options, if I just use my copy of Windows XP will it install ok?
Thanks

For Mac OS X 10.7, you must use Windows 7 if creating a Boot Camp setup. Pre-existing Windows XP and Vista systems will work, as will those OSes in emulation.

Windows XP and Boot Camp. Any experiences, pros, cons?

I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY REASON NOT TO USE WINDOWS XP AS THE ITERATION WHEN I PERFORM THE BOOT CAMP PARTITION ON MY MACBOOK PRO?

It could be done depending on when your MacBook Pro was made. Most MacBook Pro models from mid/late 2007 to early 2011 are capable of running Mac OS X 10.6.8 as well as OS X 10.10.2 that you show. If yours is capable then you would need to install 10.6.8 which supports Win XP or Win Vista with BootCamp. Find out with MacTracker at this link . http://mactracker.ca
The process would involve having a 10.6.x install disk and a clone of your existing 10.10.2 drive on an external HDD/SSD. You would use the 10.6.x install disk to erase and install 10.6.x followed by Boot Camp assistant install of Win XP/Vista. When satisfied you clone the external drive containing 10.10.2 and data back to the Mac OS partition replacing 10.6.x . I personally did not clone the recovery partition as it is well known to cause some Boot Camp problems. Instead I have a bootable installer USB thumb drive in addition to the clone of my Mac OS X partition for rescue.
It Is a lot more trouble than installing Win 7 but in my case Microsoft is to blame. They had a bunch of "Games for Windows" that required Vista that are next to impossible to make work with Win 7. And of course all help or upgrades have been abandoned. I was using Mavericks OS X and Win 7 and went through the process outlined above. I could have installed XP instead of Vista but I already had it on a MacBook with OS X 10.6.8.

Trouble with Windows XP and Boot Camp

I tried to install XP on my Macbook Pro with OS X 10.6.3 through Boot Camp, but it keeps giving me the error that it can't find the End User License Agreement and quits. I successfully partitioned my hard drive and tried the process with partitions both above and below 32 GB in size, but it still gave me the same error each time. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it?

Hi,
that seems to happen with some XP CDs.

HT3986 WHO IN BREMERTON/TACOMA WA AREA CAN INSTALL WINDOWS 7 AND BOOT CAMP FOR ME??

I purchased a Brand New 27" Imac in January with the 3tb fusion hard drive and I am looking for someone to help me install BootCamp5 and Windows 7.0 Professional.
I live in the Silverdale/Bremerton Washington are area. I can drive to Tacoma or Seattle if needed.
Thanks

Contact a local AASP for that, this is a user forum and does not offer paid services.

Im interested in a mac, but I have some concerns regarding windows and Boot Camp.

Having both Mac OS and Windows on 1 computer would be a dream for ne, however , I have some Feature concerns that im hoping someone may be able to adress.
1: Im an avid PC gamer, and use Steam to play all my games. Only a few games I own are Mac Compatible, And I was wondering, if I used Windows 7 Via Boot Camp, would I be able to play those games?
2: Would I be able to freely switch between Windows and OS without and consequences?
3: What Mac should I get to use Windows 7 (and aformentioned Gaming) Effectivly?
Thank you in advance if you answer!

1. Yes, Bootcamp gives you a 100% functional Windows machine.
2. Yes, you only need to reboot the machine each time to switch between OS X and Windows 7.
3. All current Macs will run Windows 7 as good or better than any PC/ Laptop.
For gaming, the Macbooks have mediocre video cards. The 13 inch has the Intel 3000 which is really not that good The 15 and 17 inches have the Radeon 6750M and 6770M. Those are much better for gaming (especially the 6770M. It's not a gaming card. Mac desktops have much better cards for gaming. The iMac has the 6970M. The Mac Pro would be the best gaming rig with a 5770, which isn't a mobile one (no 'M') and is the best performing card out of all of these. The Mac mini has the worst of all machines.
But since the Mac Pro is the most expensive, you're best bet is to get the 15' macbook pro for gaming. The 6770M is better too if you can afford it. The iMac would be the next step up, again if you can afford it.
Also, what bootcamp does is make a partition of your harddrive. In other words it splits your hard disk into 2 parts. Like if you had a 500gb hard drive, it would make 2 250gb hard drives- one with Windows files and one with Mac files. You can pick how much space you want to make the Windows partition.

Having issues with installing Windows XP on Boot Camp

I installed the latest firmware for my MBP along with Boot Camp. I then tried to install a copy of Windows XP that I got from my friend (we'll name him Mr.Limewire). Anyways, I've tried to use 2 different copies of Windows XP and Boot Camp does not detect the cd still (it keeps saying to insert the Win xp cd). I believe I have using the full version of Windows XP. If a copy of XP is burnt on a Mac would that affect anything?

You really need to use a legitimate XP installation CD - a downloaded copy isn't worth the time for many reasons. Even if you did get it running, you can't register it and will have to reinstall a valid copy all over again to use it.
Also read the BootCamp FAQ's - XP must be a service pack 2 (SP2) release. If you don't see a folder "SP2" on the CD or some reference to it then you likely have a pre-SP2 release.
Another option is to slipstream SP2 and create an updated XP installation CD -

but even this would be waste of time without a valid XP install disc.

Under Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Boot Camp, my 27 inch Apple LED Cinema Display checks out as a Generic PnP Monitor and is shown as NOT HDCP compliant. I haven't been able to find any kind of an .inf file to use. Does anyone have a solution?

I am having this same issue. Im not sure if this is the cause but I think this is keeping PowerDVD Ultra 11 from playing back Bluray under Windows 7 / Bootcamp

How to implement a dual booting PXI system using windows 7 and labview RT

Good Day
My name is Mariano Ocana from the University of Manitoba, and I want to implement a dual system using windows 7 and labview RT in a PXIe-1082 chassis with a PXIe-8102 embedded controlled (the chassis came with windows 7 installed). What are the steps to use both systems (windows and RT) in the same chassis?, in the NI help comes an example implementing a dual system using windows xp and RT, it is the same procedure?.
Thank you in advance for all your help.
Regards
M. Ocana

Greetings, Mariano.
The real issue you have to contend with is whether or not you have a LabVIEW RT license. If the 8102 controller was purchased Windows-Only, you likely do not have a license to run LabVIEW RT on the controller - you can purchase one, I think it's about $500, and at that point you can request a LabVIEW RT Configuration CD (that's not what it's called, but the sales guy will know what I'm talking about). The Config CD is a CD that will partition your controller correctly with both FAT32 and NTFS filesystems (in the appropriate way) to allow you to run Windows 7 and LabVIEW Real-Time on the controller correctly. Once done, you can then switch within the BIOS between LabVIEW Real-Time and Windows in order to dual-boot.
Either way, you likely need to contact NI sales to either purchase an RT license (if one was not received at the time of purchase) or to request a Configuration CD (it might also be called a dual-boot install CD or similar).

If i create a partition for Windows 7, and boot up in Windows using Boot Camp, can I still access the files from the Mac partition (Photo's Music etc.)

Ok Great,
Will installing Boot Camp drivers allow me to both read and write to the OS X Volume from windows?
This is important as if it will it means i can make the windows partition a lot smaller and keep all my files on the OS X partition which would be preferable.

No, OSX will be read only (from Windows) and vice versa. (you can install 3rd party utilities on either or both partitions, to make read/write possible)
