Reinstall boot camp data of sorts

Ok, so i traded in my last macbook for the newest 2.4 ghz macbooks and I had them transfer the data. When i got my computer back the partition was gone but all of my data was put into a file on the new comp, is there a way i can partition the disc with bootcamp and just put all of the data on that partition cause i no longer have my xp install disc and i want all of my old data back.
Thanks to anyone who can be of help.

Hi there HarryAmadeo,
According to the article below, it looks like you will need to reinstall OS X in order to reinstall Boot Camp.

  • Reinstalling Boot Camp Assistant

    Please Help!
    I recently delete it my boot camp partition for windows 7 because I wanted to reinstall it again, I was following this video:  
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtDYNCldC24
    After doing what he did on the video... I can't no longer find my "boot camp assistant" in my utilities menu. Can anybody tell me how I can reinstall "boot camp assistant"? or at least find it?
    Thank You in advance,

    Hello chimmon,
    In order to restore missing Applications or Utilities that are installed with the operating system, the entire operating system will need to be reinstalled.

  • Reinstall boot camp or reset files to default?

    Hello!
    I was trying to make my USB drive bootable but ran into some problems while doing so. I had to edit the Info.plist file located inside the package contents of boot camp. I forgot to back up a copy of the file and now boot camp quits unexpectedly without even opening a window.
    Please help!
    Thanks

  • How to reinstall Boot Camp 4.0

    Hi,
    my hardware : MB Pro 13 " mid 2010 (Intel)
    my system :
    - one partition of 230 Go withLion (update from Snow Leopard, so non Lion DVD), Boot camp 4.0
    - one partition of 20 Go with Windows 7
    my goal : install Windows (for running with my Polar software)
    What I did :
    - install Windows 7 with Boot camp 4.0, but Win freezes
    - extract and install Boot camp 3.0 from SL DVD (to install XP instead of 7)
    My situation :
    - Boot camp 3 doesn't want to continue because it see that the disk has partition but can^t remove the window's one
    - Boot camp 4 doesn't start any more
    what I tried :
    - restore boot camp 4.0 from Time, but it cannot be restored because "system requires it"
    Any further Idea before restore whole system ?
    Thanks a lot

    Hi Star1,
    finally I reinstalled Lion and Boot camp 4.0 works now.
    So I could delete Win 7 partition.
    But boot camp 3.0 continue to say that the disk is partitionned.
    It seems that boot camp isn't up compatible.
    I will reinstall snow leopard to have en Win XP partition.
    Thanks for your help,

  • Trouble reinstalling Boot Camp 2.1 on Windows XP SP3

    I started having problems getting BootCamp Manager to start, so this morning I decided to uninstall and attempted to reinstall without much luck.
    First, I inserted my Leopard disk which has BootCamp Manager 2.0 on it, and I always get an error 2753 stating that the "installation has encountered an unexpected error".
    So I pulled out my old BootCamp Manager v1.4 disk, and I get the same exact error.
    Then, I went to the Apple website to download the latest version (2.1) but it throws an error at me stating that it's an upgrade and can't be installed without a prior version of BootCamp installed (which is frustrating because, as far as I understand, 2.1 is the only version that can be installed on top of SP3).
    I've uninstalled AVG antivirus thinking that was the culprit but no dice.
    What should my next move be? I REALLY don't want to have to reinstall Windows today. Is there a full 2.1 installation package out there that doesn't require a previous installation of BootCamp to run?
    Thanks for your input!

    Which model year do you have?
    Leopard DVD version?
    Boot Camp 2.1 is over a year old. It isn't required. And with Mac Pro, there is a lot you can do w/o Apple drivers. The ones you would be missing are:
    OS Switcher - Boot Camp control panel startup disk
    Apple Time Services - sync time between OS X and Windows
    Once you have XP installed, backup though that can be slow.
    Use NTFS instead of FAT32.
    Ditch XP and while Windows 7 RC is still available for download, grab the 64-bit version.
    Some people are fine installing Boot Camp 2.0.x and it is only when they attempt to install or after installing 2.1 that trouble ensues.
    Definitely uninstall all the Apple programs in Programs control panel; disable any services and startup items still showing from Apple - type msconfig to get there. I don't need or want MobileMe and other things that get thrown in along the way, so I always uninstall and disable those.
    BC 2.1 was suppose to do something for upgrading from SP2 to SP3, but I've yet to see or hear any evidence that it did anything.
    Something is wrong though and you may need to start over. In the meantime, try uninstalling, try running chkdsk, and then run system file checker from cmd.exe
    sfc /scannow
    Assume you Google'd on '2753' and didn't get anywhere.

  • Necessary to reinstall Boot Camp after restore?

    I am fixing to back up and reinstall Leopard on my MacBook to fix a partitioning problem (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7524490#7524490). I got my MacBook from my university, and they didn't include the Boot Camp installation disk with the laptop (it was already installed when I received it). I have a Vista installation DVD and the Leopard installation DVD.
    If I backup and restore Leopard, will I still be able to install Vista by running the Boot Camp Assistant in the Utilities Folder, or will I need to get a copy of the Boot Camp DVD?

    Hi Jbarber,
    What is the Bootcamp installation disk? If you have the Leopard install DVD, everything needed for bootcamp is on that DVD. When you reinstall Leopard, Bootcamp Assistant will be there, and after you install windows, you just insert the Leopard DVD again to copy over the bootcamp drivers.

  • I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows.  I upgraded to Lion and somehow it crashes the mac side peridoically.  I am told I need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the recovery drive.  will that delete the windows partition too??

    I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows.  I upgraded to Lion and now the mac side crashes/freezes periodically, especially iphoto.  I am told by the genius' that I probably need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the "recovery drive" which resets everything back to default and reinstalls the lion operating system.  My question is will this also delete the "windows" partition drive and all that data too.  If so that will be a huge pain in the ___ to back up and reinstall boot camp and windows. I want to shoot the lion.

    There is no system like Acronis for the Mac platform. You can try using the buiilt in Disk Utility to create an Image of the complete Mac drive but I have found that this does not work very well as on tryiing to restore it gives errors sometimes.
    You can use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable Clone of your system partition. But that is only for the System partition and not the complete drive.
    If you use Boot Camp to install Windows on your Mac neither of those two programs will clone the Windows side.
    Neither will Disk utility as Mac's can not create or write to a NTFS partition. So some other program is need for that.

  • What is the best way to re-install Windows XP in Boot Camp?

    I installed Windows XP on my Boot Camp partition on my MacBook for several months. Recently I have had serious problems with Windows Explorer (If I right click or try to copy, delete, drag files, it crashes). I've decided to just to do a clean install of XP and start over. What is the best way to do this?
    I realize that I can just remove the partition through Boot Camp assistant, but I have read people on the web have had some issues doing this. I've read that to Erase and reformat the Windows partition" is easier to do.
    There is also something called "Perform a Repair Installation" inside Windows XP. This would be preferable because I think this would allow all my applications to stay present. I don't have problems with my applications, just Explorer. Can I do this inside my Windows partition as if it were a normal Windows computer? This would be the best solution if it's possible.

    Axel,
    Unfortunately System Restore didn't work. I tried a few dates, but what happened is it said it couldn't restore and that my computer remained unchanged. So I will move on to the next stage. Reinstall Boot Camp drivers (I don't think that will help because they've worked flawlessly for so long) and then do a REPAIR WINDOWS.
    But I am going to wait until the weekend when I don't have work and can make sure I have a full backup, plus numerous other things, like doing uninstalls on some programs so that I can reinstall them should I end up with a totally complete new installation.
    My experience with Windows over the decades is that a lot of their utilities don't work as promised. That's what just happened with System Restore. So if I have a problem with REPAIR WINDOWS, do I just format my windows drive within Windows and reinstall, or what? Do I have to go back to OS X, eliminate the Windows partition, and start at the beginning with a new BootCamp and Windows installation? I'm asking, because once I get started I want to have a full road map.
    Also to clarify, this is with my MacBook. I have no problems with Windows on my Mac Pro.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Boot Camp Partition too small

    I created a boot camp partition for Windows 7 a few months ago, but I didn't make it big enough. Now I'm getting a "not enough space" message when I try to update to boot camp 3.2. I seem to remember that if I need to resize, I need to reinstall boot camp again - is that right, because I can't find where I read that?
    I have a 2010 Macbook pro, 2.66 gHz, and my 32-bit windows partition was installed as 18 gb. I didn't think about having to run other software, like itunes, when I created the partition.
    I've not been able to change the trackpad such that I can tap rather than click (VERY difficult for me to work with), and I was hoping boot camp 3.2 might fix that.
    Any advice on all this would be gratefully received.

    Thanks for the vote of confidence, Toocool4.
    Hatter, I always search for solutions before I ask - I come to forums as a last resort when I'm not confident about proceeding without some advice. If you don't like the questions I ask, you don't have to get involved and answer. I didn't ask anything about doing backups - I backup my data regularly to an external drive. I asked what "backup system image" meant because I hadn't heard that expression before and I thought it might have been something critical I needed to know before I reinstalled my partition.
    Before I moved over to Mac, I spent 9 years learning how to maintain my own pc, so I've got some idea of what I'm doing. But there are always things to learn, and I'm grateful to those who are willing to share their knowledge - I've used what I've learned to help those of my friends who are real novices, and at times I've even contributed to forums.
    Since I only use my Windows partition for music, I think it'll be simple enough for me to just recreate. The 15-20 percent rule sounds like a good one, Toocool4, and I wish I'd thought of it before! This time I'll build a partition factoring in the size of software, like itunes, as well, and I'll make it big enough to cover everything!
    If I've misunderstood the image-creating ideas, please set me straight; otherwise I'll assume just going thru the bootcamp instructions will serve me well again.
    And BTW, I'm a GIRL, not a guy.

  • Solution - Boot Camp 2.1 Killing Video Drivers

    I installed Boot Camp 2.1 earlier today in preparation for upgrading to Windows XP SP3. After it completed and rebooted, my video drivers were dead. I was using 4-bit color and the lowest resolution possible. I called Apple Support, and a fairly unfriendly woman told me "just because we make it doesn't mean we support it" and that I'd have to repartition (erase ALL my data) and reinstall Boot Camp + Windows from scratch. Wow talk about unhelpful!
    I found a better solution.
    In Windows, I went to Add/Remove Programs, and uninstalled the Boot Camp 2.1 Update. Then I re-ran Apple Software Update and tried again, this time using the 'Download File' option from one of the top menus. 2nd try worked and now everything is fine!

    My problems have not been quite that severe, but my recent experience with Boot Camp 2.1 and SP3 has been pretty bad. First, my colors do not seem to be displaying properly, mostly with blues turning into red (i.e., links in Firefox). Then last night I got three blue screens while using MS office in XP(which also has color problems).
    Remarkably, I do NOT have any of these problems in fusion, running off the same partition....
    I read another thread which suggested upgrading the graphics drivers in XP, which I am going to try, but if you uninstall boot camp 2.1, won't you have problems with SP3? Aren't you supposed to install 2.1 before you do the SP3 upgrade?

  • Vista 64: boot camp 3.2/3.1 crashes

    Hi,
    i tried to install the 3.2 update of 64bit boot camp 3.2.
    Right after double clicking the exe a windows msg pops up saying: "installationprogram of apple boot camp update doesn´t work anymore" (translation from german!).
    I also tried to run the update from "apple software update" - same result.
    My vista 64 home premium is up to date.
    Do you have any suggestions/hints for me?
    Thx
    Chris
    PS: I also tried to reinstall boot camp 3.1 - same thing.
    Message was edited by: Wolfsrudel

    Trouble with hard drive? try chkdsk
    Trouble with Vista? try command line "system file checker"
    sfc /scannow
    Also, try control click and "Troubleshoot Compatibility" or change properties of BC 3.2.
    Upgrade to Widows 7 (maybe wait for SP1 in a month or two)

  • Cannot use boot camp

    According to the apple support website, I have to document my panic kernel in Apple Discussions (a lot of information). I hope to get an answer.
    *Documenting the problem: partitioning and formatting partition hard drive MacBook for use of Windows (Boot Camp)*
    Date: April, 18th, 2008
    *Description of the problem:*
    According to the manual, I tried to create a partition of 20GB, but after several minutes I got the ´panic kernel´. (“You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the restart button”)
    After restart I can ask for the report (see problem details):
    After saving the problem details, I send the report to apple (2 weeks ago).
    I guessed something has happened, part of the disk was gone. However, bootcamp will not proceed further (install windows, see manual).
    With a startup from the leopard DVD it is possible to fix the problems, but every time I try to use boot camp, I got the same panic kernel and messages (till now 3 times). So, it seems reproducable.
    During the fixing process Disk utility says (in red, translated from dutch):
    - Minor adjustments in volumebit
    - elegible number of files on volume
    - elegible number of volume directories
    - elegible number of free blocks on volume
    At the end the follwing text appears (in green):
    The volume 'Martijn's schijf' is fixed
    After that, no problem at all☺
    Nevertheless, in this way it is not possible to install windows. I would like to ask you if this problem is already known and/or described. I have searched on the net, but most of the information in forums is too detailed for me. Therefore, I try this way first.

    Reformat the drive. Disk Utility Partition, and create one new partition, don't use the current setup. Then either restore from backup or fresh install. I would clone the drive before ever starting the BootCamp Assistant process.
    Most kernel panics are memory or hardware. In this case, well, lots of threads with "Partition Failure" and / or "kernel panic." A google for "Mac kernel panic" will show a number of sites with FAQs.
    Disk Warrior is also a handy disk repair program. Not only backup and have a bootable clone, but one with an emergency boot volume to use instead of relying on DVD and Disk Utility, and so you are running the latest versions.

  • MacBook Pro 15 with Windows 8.1 installed via Boot Camp problem with keys "@" and " " of the keyboard

    Hello,
    I have a MacBook Pro Retina Maverick in 2013 on which I installed Windows via Boot Camp 8.1.
    The installation went well but when I am running Windows 8.1, I have a problem with "@" and "<" keys on the keyboard.
    When I type the "@" key, I get "<"
    When I type the "<" button, I get "@"
    I have reinstall Boot Camp from Windows 8.1 for reinstall the drivers and see if it would solve the problem but it was not the case.
    Someone of you has he encountered the same problem?
    Thank you.

    The language of my Keyboard is French

  • Cant install 3 or 3.1 "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model"

    Hello there, i got the latest mac mini in september last year (2009), with bootcamp 3.1 out today etc i finally fired up bootcamp, partitioaned, installed windows 7 etc.
    Now windows 7 is working, but when it comes to install the latest 3.1 update, the display driver installs, then nothing else happens!!! so i figured i need to install the old 3 version first of my leapord disk, however that just gives the error "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model".
    so i manually extracted the files from the 3.1 file "BootCamp3.164-bit" and tried running the "BootCampUpdate64.msp" file manually, this gives the error: "The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch."
    Arghghghghghghg!!!!

    This worked for me. I actually copied the Boot Camp folder on to my desktop and removed the ATI drivers prior to running the 3.0 Boot Camp. 3.1 installed with no problems after a reboot.
    Mine works after following ccarlise's steps above. The first time I did it (without removing the ATI drivers), it crashed and went into the blue screen. After rebooting, the screen res changed to 800x600 and if I remember correctly, the video driver became "unknown". In the Device Manager (Control Panel > System & Security > System), my Display Adaptor driver ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670 (Microsoft Corp WDDM 1.1) had an exclamation mark on the item and needed to be "updated", back to the same thing.
    After rebooting, the original screen res came back fine and I reinstalled Boot Camp without the ATI drivers.
    Everything went fine from then on. The only thing is that in Apple Software Update, Boot Camp 3.1 still shows up as an option. The scrolling function on my Apple Magic Mouse works, so I'm assuming that the 3.1 update was successful...
    Thanks guys for the tips!

  • Boot Camp not working with Windows 7!

    I have a 2011 MBP which has Boot Camp installed w/ Windows 7. I recently had to reinstall Boot Camp after a bad experience with Windows 8, and I've started Windows 7 fresh. I used it 5 or 6 times, but now when I go to use Windows 7 all I get is a black screen. HOWEVER, if I boot up in Windows Safe Mode, it works fine. Something tells me the Graphics Driver is playing up, but what do I do??

    start over with a removal of Windows and the partition it is on, using the Boot Camp Assistant program again, and then Reinstall Windows by using the BCA program.
    Mkae sure you have the latest Windows drivers from Apple by running the Apple Updater found in the start menu of Windows after it is reinstalled.
    you may also be able to do that while booted into Safe Mode and solve your problem. You might want to try that first before you remove and reinstall Windows.
