Partition not big enough to install bootcamp drivers (installed windows 7)

I installed bootcamp, partitioned a drive to 6GB (thought it was 16GB)
installed windows 7 pro and went to install the bootcamp drivers so I can switch back to Snow Leopard and it won't let me install the drivers because the partition is so low on space. I don't have any other application on the windows 7 partition as i just installed it. I even tried to create room by deleting the sample photos, music and videos, which got me to a point where i could start the installation then it stopped cause it got too full again.
How do i get my mac back to snow leopard? OR how do i make my partition larger so I can install the bootcamp drivers?
HELP!

Use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition. Use Disk Utility to erase free space.
For Win 7 and others you need to be considering a much larger partition size. I would recommend a minimum of 30-40GB. It depends on what you need Windows for. But my needs are such that several hundred GB are usual for my Boot Camp partitions.
Remember that just like Mac OS X, Windows needs free space for paging files and behind the scenes workspace.

How to install bootcamp drivers on Windows 8?

Hello,
Today I decided to install Windows 8 onto my Mac Pro running 10.8.5 in order to play games on Steam. I started BootCamp assistant and made a 65GB partition for Windows 8, and when I tried to install Windows I unchecked the top box (not sure what it said now). Now I have a Windows computer, I CANNOT get back to OS X. The Mac Pro will not boot into OS X, it just goes straight to Windows every time. I've read that there should be some place in Windows to switch back, but I cannot find it. I tried holding down the option key upon boot up at the gray screen, it still goes straight to Windows. I tried holding command R at the boot up screen, it goes straight to Windows. HELP!! I picked the 60.5GB partition to install on, could it have somehow erased my OS X partition? Is there a way to install bootcamp drivers from Windows?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jared

[Enable Bluetooth functionality after a clean installation of Windows 8|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2C03FI0001R04.htm]
If a clean installation of Windows 8 has been performed, Bluetooth is not present and does not work on your notebook. It is necessary to install two driver components manually to activate the Bluetooth functionality.
- Toshiba System Driver
- If your notebook is equipped with an Atheros or Realtek WLAN card with Bluetooth, you have to download the Atheros or Realtek Bluetooth Filter Driver
- If your notebook is equipped with an INTEL WLAN card with Bluetooth, you don't need to download any filter driver

Installing bootcamp drivers for windows 7 on a mid-2009 13 inch macbook pro?

Is the only way to install the win 7 bootcamp drivers on a mid-2009 macbook pro through the snow leapord discs?
Or is there a download somewhere? i couldn't find any.
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
The Snow Leopard disc that came with the computer has got Boot Camp 3 drivers, and the latest drivers for your Mid 2009 MacBook Pro are Boot Camp 4. As you are using OS X Lion, you can download them from Boot Camp Assistant or from the Support page > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630

Trouble installing bootcamp drivers in Windows XP

I have an early 2011 Macbook Pro and I installed Windows XP Professional SP3 on my Mac just fine but according to the Bootcamp Assistant Guide, it says while in Windows insert your Mac OS X disc to install bootcamp driver by selecting setup.exe from the bootcamp directory. First, I don't see a bootcamp directory but I did do a search and a file called setup.exe did appear. However, it then ask how I want to open the file and give option such as Internet Explorer, etc. Then I realized that although I have a gateway modem/wireless router at home that my Macbook Pro can be wire connected to and I'm alway connected to wirelessly when I'm in the Mac OS X, when I'm in the Windows XP, it doesn't recognize that I'm connect to a modem or that my Macbook Pro has internet connection in WIndows XP. As soon as I restart under MAC OSX everything comes back and I can either be connected wired or wireless.
So bascially I have a few issues going on. First clarity on how to get to the setup.exe from the bootcamp directory while in Windows XP and figuring out how to connect my current gateway modem/wireless router to my Macbook Pro while I'm in Windows XP on it.
Please can anyone help me out?

Hi Wilde,
Apple recommends to only use the BootCamp Drivers they provide.
However you can tryout these Nvidia driver http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforcenotebook_winxp_185.85whql.html
Make sure to make a backup of your Windows before installing them.
Or at least make a System Restore Point.
Some people use DriverSweeper http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/ to remove the 'old' drivers prior to installing the new ones.
Take care

I get the blue screen whenever I try to install the bootcamp drivers in windows 7

I just recently installed windows 7 home on my 2011 imac useing bootcamp.
Everything seemed to install fine however whenever I try to run the bootcamp drivers in windows to get my mouse and wifi and all that to work I get a blue screened.
Any Ideas?
Ive followed the exact instructions from the manual for OSX and nothing seems to work.

Question: Does the Windows disk that you are using have SP2 (Service Pack 2)? In other words, is your version of Windows a FULL version (and not an upgrade version) of XPSP2 Home Edition?
Having SP2 is a requirement to have XP installed on an intel Mac.
If you already have the right version then I am not sure what exactly the issue may be.

How to install bootcamp drivers without installation disk?

iam using my friends macbook (intel core2Duo 1.83 GHZ, 80GB, 1GB DDRII, 12"", white colour)Mac OS X 10.5.7 installed, and i hav'nt installtion disk, and i want to install windows on it, but how will i be able to install bootcamp drivers as i have'nt installtion disc.

Look as a part of right click-2fingers at a same time you should press on the touchpad.
and check your macbook,the slot where you put the speakers wire if the drivers are not install then a red light will come from it and if not then it means that the drivers are all install.
and try to install the drivers from http://support.apple.com/downloads/#bootcamp
Hope your problem get resolved.

How do i install the bootcamp drivers on Windows XP

when i try to install the bootcamp drivers on Windows XP i get a error message saying that it only works for windows 7. I've ran windows XP on my computer so i know it works so why wont it work now.

Were you running Lion on your computer when you installed XP and it worked? How new is your iMac?
It appears you updated the OS. This is a major change from what you had previously. So the fact that it ran previously is somewhat irrelevant.

Numerator in Unit of Measure not big enough

Hi,
The numerator, field UMREZ, of the unit of measure has a maximun lenght of 5 digits ( maximum of 99999 ). But for certain conversion I need (in MM02-> aditional data->tab units of measure):
120000 EA = 1 ROL
How can I do this without entering something bigger than 99999?
I have thought in three alternatives:
1.- Modification of that data domain, so that it can be stored up to 999999.
2.- Use decimals in the denominator , so that I have something like 12000 EA = 0,1 ROL.
3.- With an auxiliar unit of measure EA2 ( created via CUNI, linked to EA): 10 EA2 = 1 EA :::::and then::::: 120000 EA2 = 1 ROL.
I havent been able to complete the 2nd and the 3rd. ANd I want to avoid the first...
Do you know if something like this can be done? if so, how????
I have found post UOM conversion not big enough but I could not find any usefull answer in there ...
Many thanks in advance.
Aaron

Hi,
Yes, I had already read this note, thanks for the info anyways.
They describe exactly my case:
Example 3: Too large numerators and denominators
                       When 120000 CM3 = 0,2 tons (TO), you can no longer save numerator and denominator of conversion ratio 600000 CM3 = 1 TO as numerator and denominator may have maximally five digits.
                       Here, you must either select a larger volume unit or a smaller unit of weight: With DM3 the conversion ratio would be 600 DM3 = 1 TO, with KG the conversion ratio would be 600 CM3 = 1 KG.
                       Generally, the alternative units of measure and the base unit of measure should result in quantities that are in the same dimension since the conversion factors may not be larger than 99999/1 and not smaller than 1/99999.
But I can not change the Basic Unit of Measure, because the Material has already movements, and I dont know how to create another unit of measure (let say EA2) linked to EA with a the value 1 EA2 = 10 EA. In this case I could use EA2 in the material with the conversion 12000 EA2 = 1 ROLL.
Is this possible? How can I create this unit? in CUNI I can create a new UOM but I dont see how to link it with an existing one ( create a conversion between them ) .
Thanks!!

Palm TX will sync but not transfer data after installing 64bit drivers for Windows 7

Palm TX will sync but not transfer data after installing 64bit drivers for Windows 7 using the USB cable. Does anyone have any advise?
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

@MikeNTxs - 64bit USB drivers have been available since April of 2010, and they do work. I've synced successfully to my Vista64 bit laptop many times via USB.

Why does the software update say that drivers for my printers are not available? I have the drivers installed from the CD but can't add the printer because it wants to go through software update.

I have the latest operating system, but can't get my printers added. Why does the software update say that drivers for my printers are not available? I have the drivers installed from the CD but can't add the printer because it wants to go through software update.

It's pretty difficult to offer suggestions when you say nothing about your Mac, the version of Mac OS it's running, or the models of printers you have. This forum, however, is intended for questions about old, pre-G3 hardware, so unless you are asking about an very old Mac, this is not the forum where you'll be most likely to get help with your problem. I'd suggest you ask this question in the forum for your model of Mac or version of Mac OS X it's running. You'll be more likely to get assistance there, assuming you provide sufficient detail for anyone to make a diagnosis of the problem.

BootCamp drivers crash Windows 7, slow startup, boot order?, backup drive

I have 3 issues that may be related or possibly not related to each other. I use an iMac (currently with Leopard 10.5.8 on a completely clean installation of both Leopard and Windows 7 on a freshly formatted and partitioned drive).
Issues:
1. Before reformatting and installing Leopard and Windows 7, I tried to install Snow Leopard and then Snow Leopard Bootcamp drivers into Windows 7. This crashed Windows 7.
2. Slow startup of Windows 7 - Drivers needed?
3. Firewire backup drive never re-mounts after using WIndows and then going back to OS X.
*Details of issues*:
In the past, before I completely re-installed Leopard 10.5.8 with a new Windows 7, with this same pair of operating systems, I always had a slow startup of Windows 7 on Boot Camp. Sometimes this would take up to 6 minutes to completely open Windows 7. The "Starting Windows" message would appear usually soon, but it would tale a very long time before the Windows logo Flag would appear. The slow startup still continues, even after a complete reinstallation of these on a freshly re-formatted and re-partitioned hard drive (This re-installation was done for reasons shown below).
For a long while I have thought that because I had never installed any BootCamp drivers into Windows 7, then it might start better if I were to install the BootCamp drivers from an installation disk. Thus when I the other day briefly upgraded to Snow Leopard, this time I went ahead while operating under Windows 7 to install into my already existing Windows 7 the set of Boot Camp drivers from the Snow Leopard installation disk. The installation seemed to go well, but it then hung up and never continued when it tried to install the Intel chipset driver. An an hour had passed with no further progress. Thus I force-shutdown the computer, and Windows then never opened until I restarted under safe mode. After that when I would restart Windows 7 "normally", I found also that the Apple wireless keyboard under BootCamp no longer was recognized. The "normal" slow booting of Windows 7 still remained.
Because of I was not sure just what all might have been messed up, and because I am waiting for new versions of several programs that I use to be made as versions compatible with Snow Leopard, I reformatted the complete drive (Both partitions were merged into 1), and then I reinstalled Leopard on a freshly prepared drive, followed by newly installing Windows 7 on a new BootCamp partition. Both systems were fresh installs on a freshly prepared drive and partitions. These were not from clones of the previous installations. This time I did not try to install any drivers from the Leopard disk. The slow booting of Windows 7 continues.
Things I have suspected might cause the slow booting:
1. Boot order of the Windows partition may be set to look for a CD-ROM before booting from the Windows 7 on the BootCamp Partition. To solve this, I have tried to open the BIOS on startup of Windows 7 in order to set the boot order. I am not sure which function key to press, but in trying several, I have gotten a DOS screen that shows Windows 7 as an option, but nothing else. When I select "Advanced", I get a list that includes "Safe Mode", "Boot Logging", and other items, but not anything for boot order.
2. The drivers for BootCamp might not yet be made for Windows 7, and I need to wait until these are so that these can be installed. After such, then maybe the slow startup might be fixed?
3. Possibly my Firewire backup drive interferes (permanently?) with the Windows startup process, because after I use Windows and then go back to OS X, the backup drive (Maxtor OneTouch III firewire drive) will not load on the MacIntosh desktop until I unplug the firewire from both the computer and the Maxtor drive and unplug the power cable to the backup drive, followed by replugging all of this in. (Note: The backup drive is formatted for Macintosh and is never seen as a drive in "My Computer" or in "Network Places" when I operate Windows 7).
Are you able to help/ Thank you.
Sincerely,
Wilson

Extra comments;
I also tried the following, which did not fix the startup (*Once up, Windows works well!*):
1. Checked for file and disk errors (ckdsk?? on startup).
2. Purged temporary internet and other temporary files (using internet options and disk cleanup utilities)
3. Cleared out Prefetch files.
4. Emptied trash.
5. Under "msconfig", I found 4 items there as startup items. I disabled Adobe Reader and Quicktime helpers, leaving only thus 2 startup items of the 4 enabled (Bulldog and some Microsoft thing).
6. Defragmented.
No better results.
Sincerely,
Wilson

Audigy 4 gives blue screen during install of drivers on Windows XP SP3

FAudigy 4 gives blue screen during install of drivers on Windows XP SP3! Specs
Asus a8n-sli

Audigy 4
LC Power 550 W PSU
I put in the installation CD that comes with the card. I want to install everything (full install), and mid-install I get a blue screen.
I then uninstalled everything and tried only to install the updated drivers from the website in safe-mode and still a blue screen. Should I get the dump file and send it to Creative?
How do get this card to work like it should? I also have a remote control that came together with the card.
Im currently using the onboard AC97 Realtek ALC850 soundcard.
Whats the whole procedure to make this work? Detailed please. How do I eliminate all traces of the audigy on my PC?

Re: Audigy 4 gives blue screen during install of drivers on Windows XP SP38 Perhaps you'd want to read this old thread of mine about my misadventures with the same exact card you are trying to use. IMHO that card was not worth the time and money I spent on it (even even less the time and money it caused me to spend afterwards to repair the damage it caused.

Access to installed device drivers on windows using Java?

Is it possible to get access to installed device drivers on windows using java.

Java has APIs for accessing the OS, The OS has APIs for accessing devices.
Java does not have APIs for direct access to devices.
However, depending on the device, you get what you want most of the time. You would only access the device directly if the device isn't supported by the OS or Java directly.
Which device do you have in mind?

I can't install bootcamp drivers on my Windows 7 partition.

As of now I am trying to run 32 Bit Windows 7 on my mid 2011 13 inch Mac Book Air. I downloaded my version of Windows from Onthehub.com and went thru the process of coverting it to an ISO file, putting it on a flash drive, downloading the support software, partitioning my hardrive thru bootcamp and installing the software. After figuring out how to select the hard drive partition I wanted to boot into I created my user account and began going thru the process of trying to install the drivers. The first round of drivers I tried to install were Bootcamp 5.1 drivers which were geared for 64 bit Windows 7, and did not work. After surfing the support forums I then downloaded Bootcamp 4 and tried to install those drivers instead. The bootcamp setup driver currently does not want to load for me. I have tried removing my admin privileges and reinstalling the Bootcamp 4 zip file--seperate events--but have met the same message: This software is not intended for this computer. Based on my research the macbook air I have should be able to run 32 bit Windows 7 and Bootcamp 4. Everything else about running this operating system has gone off without a hitch, but not being able to use my track pad to right click or my volume buttons is pretty inconvenient. Anything obvious that I've missed, I'm a music teacher by trade so its more than likely that I missed something obvious... like asking the computer nicely... thanks folks!

if you are not going to be playing advanced 3d games ditch bootcamp and install your 32bit version of windows in virtualbox or another of the virtualmachines then it will work and if you use timemachine for backup it will include a backup of your windows which it dont do when you use bootcamp
