Problem installing windows XP using 850 Pro (MS-6339)

when installing XP or win 2000, during the initial blue screen install, an error msg will always come out saying "***.dll file is not copied correctly to the hard disk." Check the hard disk and it is confirmed ok. I never overclock. What could be wrong? Is it with the motherboard? I have also flashed the latest bios. Any ideas?

Are you booting from the win2000 CD or using winnt.exe ?

Problems installing Windows 7 using Boot Camp

I have a brand new MBP Retina laptop (late 2013) with 256GB SSD. Today I tried to use Bootcamp Assistant to partition the SSD and install Windows 7 64 bit OS.
My first attempt was using a licensed Windows 7 64 bit installation DVD and my OWC external optical drive which is recognized in Finder:
I started Boot Camp Assistant, selected the boxes to download latest Windows Support Software from Apple and to Install Windows 7. I was asked to specify the size for the Windows partition and hit continue. The process was moving along, the computer restarted and then I got a black screen with a blinking white cursor (like a command line prompt) in the upper left corner of the screen and a message to press any key to reboot. Pressing any key did nothing.
As far as I could tell, the Support Software files that were on the USB drive did get installed prior to the first reboot of the system that happens after you allocate the size for the partition. After the first reboot I never got the Windows installer though, just the hanging black screen/cursor mentioned above.
I'm wondering if, after creating the partition and restarting, my computer can't see my external optical drive even though it does show up in Finder when booted to OSX because it was not reading the Win7 Install DVD at all.
While on the phone with Apple Senior Tech Support we rebooted several times holding down the Alt/Option key. The boot options were the OSX, Recovery, Windows, and EFI Boot. Choosing Windows resulted in the trackpad locking up and it just hung there. I ended up reverting the SSD back to a single partition for now.
After some discussion on the Apple forum I tried creating an ISO file from the Win7 64 bit DVD using ImgBurn software that I have installed on my Windows PC and ImgBurn indicated it had created a bootable ISO file. I copied the ISO file to the downloads folder on the MBP, plugged the empty USB drive into the MBP and tried Boot Camp Assistant again:
Choosing the appropriate option for use with an ISO file on a USB drive Boot Camp Assistant proceed to again create the partition, asked me to size it, and then it proceeded (over approximately an hour and a half) to work on copying the ISO file to the USB drive and downloaded the Support Software to the USB drive.
After the restart I got another black screen, cursor, and the messages, "No bootable device/drive found", "Press any key to reboot". Again pressing any key did not do anything. I reverted back to a single partition again, rebooted to OSX and gave up for the night.
Bottom line in either scenario is that I never get to the Windows installer screens to even attempt to install Windows on the new partition.
QUESTIONS:
I think in my situation it doesn't appear that ImgBurn created a bootable ISO file from my Win7 install DVD. The Apple Bootcamp Setup guide refers to downloading the ISO image from Microsoft but I couldn't find anything that I would be comfortable downloading.
I'd rather use my installation DVD for Windows but why isn't that process of reading the DVD from the external drive working after the restart?
Can the ISO file and Windows Support Software live on the same USB drive during installation and does the support software get installed automatically by boot camp assistant?
What am I doing wrong here? This shouldn't be this hard especially when I own a valid copy of Windows.
This is VERY frustrating. Any help or referrals to proper instruction is very much appreciated.

I was able to successfully complete the installation of Windows 7 Home Premium using Boot Camp. Turns out the problem was the Windows 7 ISO image I was initially trying to use. I called Microsoft tech support and they sent me a link (see below) from which I downloaded the Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit ISO image. After downloading the ISO image and restarting Boot Camp Assistant the process of Boot Camp preparing and transferring the ISO image and Windows Support software to the USB drive took about 45 minutes and then everything went smoothly from there. The only thing I encountered was when I was asked what drive to install Windows on I got a message that it couldn't install on the Boot Camp drive because it needed to be in NTFS format. I clicked on the format button and then the process continued. After Windows installed the Windows Support Software from Apple started to install automatically. So far it is working well.

Problems installing Windows 7 using boot camp assistant

I have followed the guide form the Apple website and using boot camp assistant, I have managed to install Windows 7 Home Premium up to a point.
When the IMac re-boots and starts up in Windows 7 it tries to complete the installation but neither my mouse, keyboard or trackpad work.
This means I cannot enter a computer name in the first windows 7 screen, which in turn prevents the completion of the installation and the installation of the drivers for the keyboard, mouse and trackpad.
Does anyone have an idea how I can complete the installation?
I am using a 2012 IMac 27".
Thanks

Hi,
yes I used boot camp for everything and followed what was advised on the Apple web page. The USB remains in the back of the machine and it did download the windows drivers etc, but it doesn't seem to have installed them yet.
If I'm reading help manual properly, it is supposed to install them after windows 7 has been installed. But I can't get past the first Windows screen asking me to name my windows computer.
If I obtain a USB keyboard will that run without any drivers being required?
Thanks

Problems installing windows 7 using bootcamp

i downloaded.iso Windows 7 Home Premium x64 English fromhttp://www.w7forums.com/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-image-downloads-t12325.html. It starts off smooth but gets half way through downloading windows support and stalls every time. What should i do?

Thanks for the suggestion Rudegar. I think I found the problem which was from a different source. I installed an external hard drive and initated Time Machine in my Mac OSX. While it worked fine for Time Machine when running Mac OSX, apparantly it was causing a problem with Bootcamp and Windows. When I realized this might be the problem, I sejected the drive in OSX and turned it's power off. I then shut down OSX and started up using Bootcamp and Windows as I has in the past with no problems.
Thanks ayway!

Having problems installing Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro w/Boot Camp

Having a problem installing Windows 7 Home Premium (64-Bit) on my Macbook Pro (mid-2010) 13". I use the Boot Camp Assistant, download the necessary drivers and burn them to a disc. I insert my legit Windows 7 install disc, and the process begins but once I get to 'Completing installation', my mac freezes and I have to restart it and delete the partition. This has happened twice. I have contacted Apple and Microsoft and neither of them said that they could help me with the problem so if someone has had a similar issue and found a solution to it, I would really appreciate the help.

Hi S,

Problems installing windows on new retina macbook pro

Hi i am having problems installing windows on the latest retina macbook pro, I end up getting an error , cant install windows on this GPT partition style. I have tried booting into windows , and EFI, but it all ends up with the same error. Please HELP.

Did you use Boot Camp Assistant to partition the drive? If you want both Windows and Mac OS X on your Mac that is what you have to do.
If you only want Windows then you can install it by itself but you have to delete all partitions on the drive and format it NTSF from inside the Windows installer or a third party Disk Management/Partitioning/Formatting program.

Problem install windows on mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13 with 10.9.1

I run into problem install windows on mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13 with 10.9.1. Boot Camp Assistant shows error "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.". So what is the problem and how can I work around it? I also tried to only chose "Install Windows 7" option, but it could not recognize my windows dvd (which I created from ISO). Any help is appreciated.

i want to instal windows 7 using bootcamp on my mac book pro and how large do i have to make the partition if i want to use it for gaming?

"At least 16 GB of free space on the disk onto which you’re installing for 32-bit, or 20 GB for 64-bit (for Microsoft Windows and Windows-based applications)."
That's what Apple proposes in here Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows
Personally I would double these amounts and add to that the diskspace needed for your Windows games.

What drivers do I use when installing windows 7 on macbook pro late 2013?

I purchased a new macbook pro from bestbuy. I would like to install windows 7 using bootcamp. Now I have read online that macs come with a driver cd well mine didn't and I got it new in sealed apple box..
What or how can I go about getting windows 7 to fully work on bootcamp.. I've yet to try to install windows 7 yet beacuse I am lost when it comes to this cd and the drivers...

See -> http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf.
In addition to the Windows disc (or USB flash drive with the Windows installer) you'll need a 8GB+ flash drive.
The referenced manual - on page 3, I think, gives you a run-down of what you'll need before you begin the installation. You may also want to post any further Boot Camp questions in the Boot Camp forum -> https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp.
Good luck,
Clinton

Installing Windows XP on Macbook Pro 17 inch with broken screen...

My Macbook Pro 17 inch's (2.16 ghz, 2006) screen is broken, and displays only the top 1/4 accurately, with the lower 3/4 a series of lines, etc...
Up until recently, the screen would work after a period of time so long as I did not move it. However, now, it is a complete loss, as mentioned above.
My problem is that I cannot install Windows XP using bootcamp because I cannot see what on earth I am doing! And the last thing I want to do is accidently format my OS X partition while blindly fumbling around in the Windows XP boot screen.
I was able to install (obviously) Leopard by closing the laptop screen immediately after startup, forcing the computer to use my external monitor. This, however, does not work once the computer begins the windows installer, it simply reverts back to the laptop screen.
Any advice would be of great help! I have searched forum after forum, but have found no one with a similar problem.
Thank you!
p.s.- you'd think a $3200 laptop would last a little longer. So far I have replaced the HD twice, as well as the left internal cooling fan...

How to install Windows 8 on Macbook pro with retina display ?

Hi - How to install Windows 8 on Macbook pro with retina display ?
I am pretty new to the apple world. Tried doing it through bootcamp but did not success.
I am not interested to install it through Parallels or Fusion. Plz guide.
Thanks !

OK, use Windows 8 in Bootcamp. Be aware that there are no Bootcamp drivers for Windows 8 yet. So you may experiance not only delays but display problems, freezing, crashes and other problems.
Here is the Bootcamp forum. Make sure you read all the posts from people experiencing Windows 8 problems with Bootcamp. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

Cannot boot from usb flash to install Windows 8 on Macbook Pro 13"

Hi! All
I have a 2011 Macbook Pro 13" and I want to install Windows 8 on it. I use bootable USB stick, which I can boot fine from on my PC, so I assume it's not the USB stick that is a problem. First of all Bootcamp didn't recognise it. Fine, I partitioned the laptop's hard drive myself. Then while rebooting I held the Option key to manually select the USB drive, but it did not appear on the list. As someone suggested on the internet I even replugged USB stick to another slot during while on that screen, but it didn't help too.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can install Windows from a USB drive in one of these Macs:
- MacBook Pro with Retina display.
- Mac mini (Mid 2010 and newer).
- MacBook Air.
- iMac (Late 2012).
You don't have any of these computers, so you can't install Windows through a USB disk. Its firmware doesn't allow you to start up from your Windows installation disk.
You have to buy Windows 8 on a DVD. You need a System Builder version, which you can buy at Amazon or NewEgg. Follow Apple's steps to install Windows on the MacBook Pro > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf

Installing Windows 7 Using bootcamp 5.0 on MBPr OSX 10.8.2 Black Screen Not Loading Windows 7 Install on Boot

I am trying to install Windows 7 using Bootcamp Assistence 5.0 on a MacBook Pro Retina OSX 10.8.2, I went through all steps on Creatting the Windows 7.iso into a bootable USB Dirve 16GB I use a separate USB Drive 2 GB and download Windows Support Drivers Step 2 on bootcamp assistence. I run into the problem in step 3 when the computer reboot I just get a black screen the back display still on like I can still see the apple on the back lit up, but the screen is black and wont load the window installer, if i shut it down and bring it back up i get error saying IOS not found so then i have to shut it down, enter recovery and restart on osx partition, i can see that the bootcamp partition was created but cant load windows to it. Please can anybody help me or guide me on what i am doing wrong? thank you so much in advance

this will install as normal. before installing however you will need an activation key cos in win 7 this is one of the first pages that is presented before instalation.
the key from your relative could possibly work especially if he used your internet connection to register. but this could cause problems with his/your authenticity after 30 days.
the only other option is to purchase a key.
you say a 30 day trial, does it give you a temporary key for this?
