Probleme Bootcamp Installation Windows

Hallo miteinander,
gestern wollte ich meine alte Partion von Windows XP erweitern und auf Windows 7 upgraden.
Dabei bin ich aber auf einige Probleme gestoßen.
Zu meiner Windows 7 Version ist zu sagen, dass es eine Studentengeförderte Version ist. Ich musste die ISO also Downloaden und auf DVD brennen. Den Key habe ich von meiner Uni zur Verfügung gestellt bekommen.
Ich glaube, damit fangen die Probleme schon an...
Also ich habe die PArtition vergrößert und fest gestellt, dass die Windows 7 DVD nicht erkannt wird.
Im mOment habe ich Bootcamp 3.0.4, also lag die Vermutung nahe, dass ich erst auf 3.2 upgraden muss...
das geht über den Mac direkt aber scheinbar nicht (oder ich bin schlicht zu blöd dafür, aber es ist mir neu, dass man exe auf Mac verwenden kann)
Nunja. also dachte ich installiere erstmal wieder XP und von dort aus dann das Upgrade auf  3.1 und dann 3.2...
aber jetzt hab ich mit XP auch das Problem. ich kann den ersten Schritt der Installation durchführen und auf NSTF umschreiben. Aber beim 2ten Schritt hängt sich der Mac auf. Er gibt an, bitte drücken sie eine Beliebige Taste zum Fortführen...
aber er erkennt zu dieser Zeit meine USB Tastatur nicht... auch nicht die Originale Mac Tastatur, die über Bluetooth zugreift...
Kann mir jemand helfen?
Thanks

  • Yosemite 10.10.1 Bootcamp Installation Windows 8.1 from an ISO

    Hello,
    as in my topic described I am looking to install
    Yosemite 10.10.1
    Bootcamp Installation Windows 8.1 from an ISO
    I am using an MBP early 2011 without DVD Drive - but I have 2 SSD Drives inside (500GB und 128GB)
    I want to use the 128 GB Drive for the Bootcamp installation, as I need it for some specific Sports Software which is just available for Windows, which was already running on my factory delivered 250GB HDD Drive.
    The Problem is that bootcamp does not tell me there is an option for a ISO installation like it should display on macs which will be manufactured without an super drive. And so i can not install the ISO to the bootcamp drive.
    I have an USB Stick with 8GB and an 8.1 ISO disk.
    I do not want to reinstall my dvd super drive.
    Hope you can help me out with a description on how to do - I am quite technical so can do some tasks ;-)
    Merry xmas

    Yes. It also helps if there are any calculations to be done with disk sectors.
    My optical drive works fine, but I moved to France and didn't bring any disks. Would it be easier and safer to just burn my windows iso onto a disc and run it through bootcamp that way? I'm thinking the answer is yes at this point.
    Yes, if you have a built-in Optical drive, Bootcamp expects to boot from the Optical drive, because it sets the CSM-BIOS layer for Windows to boot from the Optical drive settings in the NVRAM.
    I'm about to head out to celebrate a birthday, but I will post back here in about 14 hours.
    Enjoy the party!
    Do you recommend just buying a DVD and doing it that way? I could easily return my info.plist to normal, and as far as I know, my optical drive works fine. Seems simpler if it would work with my copies of osx and windows. What do you recommend?
    The changes in info.plist enable creation of the USB, but do not influence the boot device pointer that BCA will set when switching to the Windows Installer. My recommendation is to get DVD writable media (DVD+R or equivalent) and burn the ISO to a physical DVD and use BCA to install windows using the BCA USB and DVD media.

  • Macbook pro mid 2009, yosemite 10.10.2 bootcamp installation windows 7 problem

    i have a macbook pro mid 2009 and yosemite 10.10.2 installed. my bootcamp is 5.1.3 and i cant install windows 7. every time i create the usb installer and restart the mac to install windows the usb installer dont appear. what i do?
    I try to make a uefi usb installer but The screen frozen when i click on efi boot

    Your Mac has (or used to have) a built-in Optical drive. You need a physical DVD for Windows and a USB2 flash drive for BC drivers. Bootcamp Info.plist modifications cause more problems than they resolve.
    Your Mac is also not UEFI compliant, late 2013+ Macs are the first ones to be, so EFI boot will not work.
    From the un-modified Bootcamp Info.plist file...

  • Windows 7 on bootcamp installation problem

    hi all,
    i just had a new imac and was trying to install a windows home premium OEM 64 bit on bootcamp. installation is going fine until the completion stage where your suppose to set up winodws for first use, all it did is become a blank/ black screen and nothing happens. i waited for a long time until i decided to install it one more try. no luck. i tried to remove the partition and partitioned it again on bootcamp and had another go at installation, still no joy. have anyone had similar problems? i just prefered to install a windows natively instead of using parallels. can someone help me please? i would really appreciate it.

    I made the mistake when setting up bootcamp by not formatting the partition during the windows setup.
    So you could make sure you have partition on the mac side, and then when setting up i the windows side formattig the partition space before files are copied.

  • USB ports not working in Windows-7 on MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013 after Bootcamp installation

    1) INSTALLATION
    Using Bootcamp (v. 5.1.1, OS X Mavericks) in combination with an original Microsoft installation DVD disc using an external optical CD/DVD drive. Note, the installation is NOT from an ISO image. In the Bootcamp setup window only the lower two of the three setup options are clicked, namely a) to download Windows-7 drivers to a USB stick, and b) to partition the harddrive and then to install Windows.
    2) PROBLEM
    After the initial Windows-7 installation no devices attached to the USB ports can be found under Windows-7. The ports are dead. Also the WLAN did not work, so no internet connection was possible.
    3) CAUSE
    The problem is caused when you use a USB 3.0 stick as destination for the Bootcamp driver downloads. It seems that Windows-7 cannot recognize the USB 3.0 stick properly during the Bootcamp/Windows installation process, thus failing to do perform a proper installation of the Windows-7 drivers.
    4) SOLUTION
    Use a USB 2.0 stick and everything will work perfectly.
    Follow these steps in order:
    1) Connect your external DVD drive to a USB port and insert the Windows installation disc
    2) Start the Bootcamp utility
    3) In Bootcamp, remove the failed Windows-7 installation and partition
    4) In Bootcamp, redo the entire Bootcamp process, but this time using a USB 2.0 stick
    5) Follow all further steps in Bootcamp and later in the Windows-7 installation process
    6) At the end of the installation procedures you will be asked to confirm the installation of all Bootcamp/Windows drivers.
    7) Bootcamp installs all the drivers and your Windows-7 installation will work perfectly.

    Ok, where is this Intel driver? There is no such thing "program manager" so I am guessing you mean the Programs and features control panel, but on my machine that whole window is blank after a clean install. I still cannot get the USB ports to activate. Two fresh installs and several different USB sticks later and no luck.  Should I just give up and go to Windows 8.1?  I really need Windows 7 to work if at all possible. Other devices shows one USB controller without driver software so I suppose that's the culprit. There are other USB devices installed under the USB section of Device Manager, but they apparently have nothing to do with the USB ports themselves, just devices like the trackpad etc.  I've spent two hours on this so far and it's getting out of control.  Why doesn't this work with generic USB drivers?

  • Keyboard Layout Problem in Bootcamp Using Windows 7

    Both OSX, bootcamp and Windows 7 are the latest versions and all up to date and I have had this problem ever since I first started using Windows 7. Everything has worked smoothly and without problems except for my keyboard. No matter what program I am in when using windows 7 certian keys do not work as intended. All of the letters and numbers work as intended but things like the question mark key type this like É instead.
    Question mark =É
    Greater than symbol= '
    Less than symbol = "
    The bracket keys = ¨Çç
    backslash = à
    forward slash = É
    Quotation mark = È
    My question would be is this something that always happens in bootcamp Windows 7 that just needs to be changed or is it out of the ordinary for the characters to be bound to keys incorrrectly like this.

    You prob do not have the drivers installed. Takes a separate disc sometimes. There is a box to check during the partitioning and installation which has to do with downloading the latest drivers. You gotta do that to make much of anything work. If nothing else, go to an Apple reseller in your area or Apple Store if you are so lucky, and get some help. Is not the easiest thing to get all that set up correctly, but it does work well if you got the drivers installed. I have an aviation site which is not yet Mac compatible, so also do the Bootcamp thing with Windows, in order to do my thing on Jeppesen. Hang in there and get some help if you need.

  • Windows 7 OEM parallels and Bootcamp, installation sequence?

    So ive got a 2013 macbook air and planning on using the OEM licence to firstly create a bootcamp partition, and the having parallels run off the bootcamp partition. Now I understand I might have to go through the whole phone activation the second time. My question is ...what sequence should I use to activate.Should I activate parallels first after the installation of parallel tools or can I just activate bootcamp first????

    Karim.Foad wrote:
    Ok wow that's cleared a lot up ....I've been researching this for the last few days , and getting mixed views with some saying windows will count the virtual machine as a separate computer and they have all sorts if activation problems .But for the second activation , in parallels , the long digit phone activation should be sufficient ?? Because I really don't look forward to explaining everything to a Microsoft Representative
    Over the phon haha!
    This is why I originally suggested that you read the activation directions on the Parallels and Fusion sites. They address the issue of Windows thinking that the VM installation is a second installation of Windows when in fact it is not. This is because you are not installing Windows in Parallels you are only pointing to your single Bootcamp installation of Windows. This is an issue that has been addressed by the VM manufacturers.

  • Bootcamp usb windows installation not working

    Hello all,
    Heres the issue, My iMac is running Yosemite and I'm installing bootcamp with bootcamp created usb installation of windows 7. the bootcamp partition is created and i see it in the partitions so thats fine. but i reboot from bootcamp to begin the install i get the non bootable device error. when I use the option key on boot the thumb drive does not show at all. i checked the thumb drive and all windows files are present but apparently the iMac does not see it as a bootable drive. I have never had this issue with bootcamp prior to Yosemite so I'm not sure if thats the problem. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    ok guys i had the same problem in my new macbook retina. The problem is not entirely the USB. The windows version u are trying to install is either pirated or cracked.
    Try installing the original windows 7 or 8 90 day trial version from Microsoft website and then it flows flawlessly. No USB or any other problem.
    After installing the trial version using USB 2.0 (bought 3 yrs agao) the installation completed successfully and all USB ports were working perfectly and no red light in the headphone jack!
    just for the sake of checking your mac's hardware try the windows trial if it works means the USB is not the problem and your  windows copy is not original.
    I am 100% sure windows trial version will work with no errors.try and let us know
    thanks

    bonjour à tous, je viens d'installer windows 7 avec bootcamp.L'installation semble s'être bien passée.Au demarrage du mac quand je choisis window7, alors j'obtiens un ecran noir avec un trait qui clignote et la machine redemarre sans cesse. Une solution?

    But at startup when I choose windows 7 I get a black screen with a clignottant dash and mac starts ever.
    If You Have Problems Installing the Device DriversIf it appears that the Boot Camp drivers weren’t successfully installed, try repairing them.To repair Boot Camp drivers:
    1 Start up your computer in Windows.
    2 Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
    3 If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
    4 Click Repair and follow the onscreen instructions.
    If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed WindowsLogo testing, click Continue Anyway.If you need to reinstall specific drivers, you can install one driver at a time. For example,if your built-in iSight camera isn’t working, you can reinstall just the iSight driver.
    Individual drivers are in the Drivers folder on the Mac OS X installation disc.
    To reinstall a specific driver:
    1 Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
    2 Quit AutoRun if it opens.
    3 Using Windows Explorer, locate the driver that you want to reinstall.
    4 Open the driver to start the installation.

  • Macbook Pro 2011, Swap SSID against  Multidrive. Problems with Bootcamp Installation.

    Hi guys,
    Whilst waiting for the release of drivers for Bootcamp to update to Windows 8 I thought I just tell you about my expieriencw with an SSID Upgrade I just purchased from GRAVIS in Germany for my MBP 2011. 13 inch I7.
    I had originally a 750 GB Drive in my MBP but as I am working wiht Photshop and a have to store a lot of Photos on my HD I was absolutly fond of an offer I found recently in the latest GRAVIS Germany Flyer. ( Gravis is one of the biggest Apple Retailer in Germany)
    They offered to swap `HD against a 50 GB SSID and built in the original HD in the Slot of the internal Multidrive. The Multidrive gets build in into a external case.
    Wow. Everything done, including clone of HD to SSID for 399 Euros.
    I called them on the phone, talked it through with them and took the Macbook there for the change.
    The plan was that they do copy just the MAC OS Parition and I do a fresh Bootcamp Installation myself as I plned to update to Windows 8 anyway and for this I wanted to have a fresh Window 7 Intallation on Bootcamp.
    So far so good.
    I picked up my Mackbook, rebuildet in the way discribed and wanted to install bootcamp at home.
    Done it several times on my own, have never had a problem but this time  I had no chance. The problem was that in the moment the Windows installation should start the mashine looks for the internal drive and goes into Notebook Nirvana and thats it. And there is no easy work around.
    My husband ( software engineer) and me tried a whole evening without success. Took my Macbooc back the next morning to Gravis. They laughed...of course, they are experts and know better...ha..ha.... than they tried everything what I told them we tried the night before ourselfs  and in the end after hours they swapped the HD against  the Multidrive back , installed Bootcamp and Windows 7 and rebuild again.
    Anyway, I had my Bootcamp back but I I was no way satisfied with  this solution as I have to say I dont imagine ever time I want to reinstall my Bootcamp from now first driving to Gravis and  get my Hardware swapped, install it and swapp it back. I was really disapinonted as I expect as a customer that a Apple retailer knows about problems which could occure when you swap hardware on a macbook and tells you about this problem BEFORE and of course have an aceptable solution for this problem or tell you not to do it when you have got or plan at any time a bootcamp installation on your mashine.
    I was totaly frustrated and called the Apple support about it.
    I just could not accept this because there are so many other devices wihtout an internal drive in the Apple produkt range that I was sure there must be another solution for this problem.
    The guy in the hotline was very helpful, As expected he never heard about a problem like hits before but  he went to the back office at once and talked the problem through.
    He called me back about it a bit later. I did not try the solution which he sugested but I will do it next time. First at all he confirmed that its not possible for a Macbook Pro which gets delivered with an internal drive to install bootcamp from an external drive.
    The Macbook Airs without internal drives getting delivered with a different version of bootcamp. As far as I undestood him you cant install this different Bootcampversion on your MBP.
    This Bootcampversions have one more step in their installion routine and this is to create a bootable USB Stick within the installion from which than the MB starts when MY MBP was disappearing into the Nirvana because it  could not find the internal drive.
    The idea now is to go to an Apple shop with your Windows installation CD/ DVD, to ask a nice person there to allow you to use an MB Air and produce with this the bootable stick. And than go home and try it on your MBP.
    Certainly not an easy solution and I dont even know if it would work but still better that rebuilding your Macbook for every new installion of Bootcamp.
    Anybody ever tried this?
    Maybe there are other possibilitie? Anybody found out something else?
    Thought I let you know for the case anybody stumbles about the same problems after swapping his internal drive with a HD oder SSID.
    Kind regards Kattinka

  • Bootcamp Installation Problem

    Hi Guys,
    Need some help here. I am totally struggling with my bootcamp installation. Here is what is going on, lets see if someone has had similar problems and can help me out.
    I have a Macbook Pro 15´ late 2011. I just updated the computer, installed 16gb of RAM and a 240 GB SSD made by Crucial (http://www.crucial.com/store/ProductMarketing_m500.aspx). As usual update my old hard drive is installed where the DVD drive was and my new SSD where the original driva was. Mavericks is running smooth, huge difference when starting the computer or loading applications. The problem comes when I went out to install Bootcamp.
    First I tried installing W7 with an standard procedure following bootcamp assistant. The problem comes when the computer restarts to start installing the OS, it gets stuck into a black page with a blincking line cursor. Nothing happens. Stays there forever. Tried different methods and no chance.
    So I decided to try with USB installation. Realized after a lot of research that the bootcamp assistant wont let you install by USB as you are supposed to use your optical drive. I made some research and found out that you could change some parameters under the bootcamp app so that the app lets you make all the USB installation. Tried this with W8 and Worked fine, but when installing windows tells me that the OS cant be installed under my SSD , some error regarding the drive.
    Tried the same as the one before with W7 but this time my mac pro would not even recognized the drive where all the windows installation was mounted.
    I have tried everything and I cannot get to a solution. Has someone had so much truble????
    please!! any help will be gladly received.
    best!
    Fernando

    The last poster who had this problem installed with a "too old" version of Windows and we spent a week on the problem before he mentioned it. Do you have Xp + SP2? If you do not have SP2 version you can stop right here. Make sure you install exactly to Apple's requirements and nothing can go wrong. Take a short-cut and you can potentially wreck even your OSX...

    Yes, I had found a similar solution also.  I'm running XP Pro, SP3.  I went Control Panels/ Add-Remove programmes/apple software update/ change/ repair.  Then run the 10.5 exe.
    While the programme updated from version 8 of iTunes, my new iTunes is now a mess.  Not all of my music was in the same folder previously but it all showed up on iTunes.  Now many albums have been left out, some have only a few tracks and some have two copies of some tracks as well as having other tracks missing.  I haven't begun to work on that.

    I have been in touch with Apple support in reference to my problem. We went through every solution available, and found no fix. The tech then suggested I contact Microsoft concerning this issue. I thought that suggestion was just to get me pointed somewhere but Apple. Boy was I wrong!! I contacted Microsoft, and was directed to a free download called Microsoft Fix. This program fixed something in the regisitor, and wala everything was fixed!! I now have I-Cloud and I-Tunes loaded and working well. So, if you can't install Apple Software and are running Window 7 you might give Microsoft Fix a try, it fixed my problem.....

And what is it I need to do to fix this?  The message is unclear.  Unfortunately, I deleted my itunes program, thinking that in doing so, 10.5 would finally load.  Now I have no itunes on my computer and unable to sync my iphone.  Help!
    Thanks - Rick

    Hi Rick,
    by "repair" I mean I went to the control panel, option - programs and features, and in the list of all my installed programs I selected "Apple Software Update". On top of the screen you find the options Uinstall, Change and Repair. I clicked the repair button and that did the trick. After the repair I could uninstall the program. I also uninstalled iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support en Bonjour, thus all Apple programs. Then I installed iTunes 10.5 again and everything went fine.
    Success,
    Peter
