No Windows Parttion on Installer Disk

I installed Windows Vista 32 bit successfully, but when I tried to install the Apple Boot Camp drivers, Windows didn't find anything on my Install disk. I tried to read the disk on an actual Windows computer and it did the same thing. There doesn't appear to be a Windows portion of this disk.
I am running an iMac with the latest updates to OS X. My install disk, however, is 10.4.10. The Boot Camp Installer program I used is version 2.0.
Is there a way to get the necessary drivers with this configuration?
Thanks for the help.

Kgluckman:
The boot camp drivers that you are looking are not on the 10.4 (Tiger Disk). They exist only on the 10.5 (Leopard Disk) installation disk. You will need the Leopard Installation disk to install the necessary boot camp 2.0 drivers in Windows.

Just purchased photoshop cs6 for windows and received installation disk.

Just purchased photoshop cs6 for windows and received installation disk. Where do you find the serial number on the disk? What should the serial number start with? The disk was in the original box and I see a number that start with 910.....
The box was in a brown envelope and there is barcode sticker on the back with more numbers. Where should I look for the actual serial number.

Bootcamp won't recognize my Windows 8.1 Installation Disk

I'm running a MacbookPro, and I've been attempting to re-bootcamp it after that last hard drive on it failed. The first time I boot camped it went flawlessly. Now I'm trying it with the same Installation Disc and it won't work. The version is Windows 8.1, I bought the operating system almost a year ago and created the installation disk myself. Can anyone help?

Is the USB flash disk a USB2 or a USB3 device? You can check by looking at System Report -> USB in About This Mac. If it shows up under Super-speed, it is USB3 otherwise it is a USB2 flash drive.

During Windows XP installation, 'Disk Error' shows.

In many other forums and other user experiences as well as the Bootcamp guide written by apple themselves, at one stage of installing Windows XP, normally after selecting the partition in which to install windows, it asks whether to format and into which format. However this does not happen on my Mac. After selecting the partition that was separated using Bootcamp, it does not ask to format but goes on to verify and then copy data into the partition.
A friend also said formatting is essential and the formatting option was included in the step-by-step procedures described by Apple, but this option was not present or shown in my installation. After the data was copied, it restarted the computer after completing the data copying and informing the user that the computer would be restarted. It then rebooted the same way as it did when I clicked 'Start Installation' on Bootcamp which restarted the computer and came to the start screen that displayed 'Press Space to boot from DVD' just as it did before. Pressing space opens another list where the first option is to press space to install Windows XP, other options show to boot something else and last option to reboot. If nothing is pressed, it jumps to another screen displaying the words 'Disk Error. Press Any key to restart' which happened every single time I tried to install windows and the only thing that I had realised was missing was the formatting of the partition that the Windows XP installation disk should have prompted which did not.
I had also tried accessing 'Disk Utilities' in the Mac OS X and erasing everything in the Bootcamp partition and putting it in FAT format whilst the partition for windows remained under 32 GB. However all attempts resulted in the same 'Disk Error' and never completed the XP setup.
Can someone please diagnose what problem this could be and suggest any possible solutions in order for me to successfully install my Windows XP Service Pack 2 on to my FAT32 format partition of 30GB. I believe it is related to the formatting issue.
Thank you very much.
Chris

Hi Chris and welcome to Discussions,
what exactly is the error message you get when you try the "Format C: /FS:FAT32" command ?
Sadly it is indeed so that a whole batch of Windows XP CDs are 'missing' the reformat option. Don't know why that is so.
frederic1943 has described the correct procedure in this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2071417&tstart=105
Have you waited long enough for the drivers to be loaded ?
To Antonio: Reformating the BootCamp Windows partition through the WIndows installer is indeed a neccessity.
When using NTFS as file system for WIndows (neccessary for Vista and Windows 7) it is a must since OSX cannot write to NTFS by default.
With FAT32 also, since the BootCamp Assistant only does some sort of 'preformating'.

Windows 7 installation disk doesn't exist?

Hey guys! I am using bootcamp for the first time on my 2011 macbook pro. I go to the bootcamp assistant, then from there I click continue and check off [Install Windows 7] and [Download the latest Windows support software from apple]. After this, I put a CD in to burn the latest windows software. From there, I then created a partition for windows which I put 100GB for out of my 500GB. I then clicked install but it said that my windows 7 installation disk didn't exist. I looked around for a while but then realized that my laptop never came with a windows 7 installation disk. Am I doing something wrong or do I have to go and buy one? Thanks for any help!

Ah that's what I thought. So, I would buy a windows 7 installation disk, put it in, then click install like I did?

Creating a Windows 7 installation disk for S12-ION (and similar)...

In a recent (now dissapeard) thread the subject of creating a backup Windows 7 Installation disk that will work with the Win7 Home Premuim OA key on the sticker on the bottom of S12-IONs.
Unfortunately that thread got stomped on because it strayed off path.
So, I've started this thread to discuss the afore mentioned subject and request that we do not discuss anything outside that that we are legally allowed to do (and I suggest it might be sensible to avoid making any kind of comment that could be deemed to be outside the acceptable usage policy for these forums).
OK, so, does anyone have any further information on this process?
I know we need to start with a (legally obtained) Win7 install disk.
This can then be altered to operate as any given (or optionally all) version of Windows 7 install disk.
However, does the disk that one alters need to be a specific version?
My guess would be that a Windows 7 Ultimate disk is most likely to work, but I suspect all Windows 7 install disks are essentially identical, bar a configuration that one needs to modify.
Now, one could also, at this point, 'slip-stream' the disk to contain specific drivers, or required other software, for the target hardware (in my case, an S12-ION).
Would this be necessary?
What S12-ION drivers/software need to/can be slipstreamed in this way?
I'm sure there are other questions too...
Anyway, I plan to do some research, and will post what I find, but if anyone else knows anything about either of these processes, please feel free to contribute...
Scott

'Sweet', as I believe 'the kids' say these days.
Though, I'm still going to look into slipstreaming stuff into a disk - essentially I want what I wish Lenovo provided - one disk with all the base-level drivers and Lenovo management software pre-installed - so I can manage my HDD my way.
@omgmog: it's exactly those *ways* (or, rather, those that are legal) that this thread is here to discuss...
Now, an update on my research: I need to stand corrected on one point - Microsoft haven't made it all that easy...
But, unless Lenovo come up with, I dunno, maybe an iso I can just download and burn to disk, I'm going to keep going and see if I can figure out what the best, most hassle free, way of achieving our legal right is.

And thank you in advance.
I'm getting "Installer disk not found" message during boot camp 5 and windows 8 install on late 20011 MBP upgraded to OS X 10.9 Mavericks. Any ideas?
I've downloaded the Window support option software and the WindowSetupBox.exe and copied it to the USB drive. I tried to create an iso image from my Windows XP machine but recieved messages that Windows 8.1 could not run on XP. I've ordered the Windows 8.1 backup media.
Any way to proceed?
Thanks Tim

download the win 8 iso from here;

Hi,
For normal computer, we only have Windows 85, 98, XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and now Windows 8.1. Probably you need a recovery discs set for your machine. Please call HP technical support: 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

Bootcamp - Windows installation disk won't read

I have a late-2011, 13 inch MacBook Pro and I am running OS X 10.9.3 with all the latest updates. I am trying to use Bootcamp to runs windows but the windows disk isn't be read by my laptop. I run Bootcamp, it downloads the latest support software but when I put the windows installation disk in; it starts to spin up, makes some noises like it is being read, then it ejects the disk. Anybody have this problem, or now a way around it?

I have about 8 different burners on my systems, and some will read DVD's better than others will. On my workstation, I have one LG and one Plextor. The LG does the best, and when it fails, the Plextor usually can read. When this happens, I just do a Copy from the drive that can read the disc, to the other drive, using Verbatim, or Taiyo Yuden blank media. If neither can read, I have six others to try. Sometimes, it's just the burner.
One little hint would be to make sure that your burner's firmware is updated to the very latest. That can improve the burner's ability to read from a slightly damaged disc.
Otherwise, contact Adobe. For many programs, they sell replacement media. Do not know if there are version limitations, but one call should give you what is available.
Good luck,

Bootcamp won't read windows installer disk

hey guys, I have a macbook pro, I just downloaded windows 7 from microsoft, I burned a dvd with the files and I partitioned my disk, but i can't install the windows because bootcamp won't read the disk. I get the following message: the installer disk cannot be found. Insert your windows installer disk and wait a few minutes ti be recognized...
What is wrong?

If it's an .iso, you need to open it in Disk Utility, then burn it from there. If you just put a bunch of files onto optical media, then it won't boot. You need to use something like Roxio Toast to burn a bootable disk from files. It knows what needs to be added and how the files should be arranged.
I've found that with Windows stuff, I'm better off using a Windows utilitiy that understands Windows booting. I use CDBurner XP. It works great and is free.

Boot camp cannot detect windows installer disk.

Hi. I wanted to install windows xp on my macbook using bootcamp. After i made a partition with boot camp assistant 3.0, i insert my windows xp disk with service pack 2 in it, and click start installation. However, boot camp could not detect the installer disk, even though it did appear in finder.
Please help.
Thanks.

Well, when i restarted my mac, and hold down the option key, there is only 1 choice for me to choose, which is Macintosh HD. There is no other option. However, the installer disk did appear in my finder. So I am not sure whats happening...
