Windows Boot camp drivers won't install

So I'm trying to put windows on my mac again, for the fifth time since windows won't let me activate it anymore. Everything goes fine and it installs and I put the Mac os x install disc 1 in to install the drivers. It loads up and goes through the process of installing the drivers. Once its down it asks me to restart the computer which I do. Once I get in however, none of the drivers are installed like nothing ever happened. I can tell because I can't get internet and the trackpad won't work properly. The boot camp faq shows up and another window to update something shows up but it need the internet to work. I go and try to repair the drivers and it runs its course, restarts and still nothing! No drivers. I've tried deleting the drivers and reinstalling them, removing the partition and reinstalling but nothing is working. I've gotten the drivers just fine before but now they just won't install. I've updated my mac from 10.6.4 to 10.6.7 so can that be the problem? Its the only thing I did different.

I'm at my office at the moment and I don't have the disc to view. Tell me, have you found the drivers folder? You can select any driver and it should automatically open boot camp and install all "Apple Drivers" while in windows mode. Then after installing bootcamp, you can install Apple updater. I'm adding more than I should because I don't know how far along you are- if you look around the clock area in windows, you should see a boot camp icon; is it there?
Send me a screen shot with your disc open and I can maybe help you from there. [email protected] Otherwise, I will look at the direct path this evening and post the info here.

Windows 8 - IDT drivers does not install.

Hello everyone,
Recently, I had to change my harddrive because my old one got damaged and it didn't work. I lost everything. Anyway, I've been trying to get all my drivers and set up everything right and I haven't been able to install the Audio Driver ( IDT ). Currently, my laptop has no sound since the audio icon has the red mute. I've been trying to fix this for a while and I haven't been able to.

Windows 7 Freezes at Restart After Installing Boot Camp Drivers

Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro and am having troubles installing 32-Bit Windows 7. All seems to be functional until I install the Boot Camp drivers included on the Install Disk. I have tried using the Boot Camp 3.1 update, but the same problem occurs. After the computer freezes on the install page, I can no longer access Windows (even in Safe Mode) and am forced to restart the entire process (that is, repartition the hard drive and reinstall Windows).
If I don't install the Boot Camp drivers, Windows seems to be functional, so I'm pretty sure it's something in the Boot Camp package causing the trouble.
Is anyone else having this problem? Any ideas or workarounds?

I finally got it to work. You need to go to the NVidia website and install their drivers. I think the Apple supplied ones are out of date and are causing Windows to hang. Install Boot Camp from the supplied DVD, install the update that Apple supplies through the newly installed Boot Camp, and then go to the NVidia website to manually download the drivers. I used the GeForce 300M series installer. Make sure you do all of this before letting Windows restart.
I had a few issues with it hanging a few times, but once I was able to get into Windows it seems to be working. All of the other Apple supplied drivers seem to work.

Wanting to Install Windows 7 on my MBP......

I've recently bought a copy of Windows 7 and I wanted to install on my MBP as there are some applications that I use for work that do not work on OSX. I opened the Boot Camp set up assistant and created a 32Gb partition on my 250Gb hard drive called Windows 7. Then as per instructions I inserted the 64bit version of the Windows 7 disk.
This is where I encountered issues. When I tried to install Windows 7 it said that my partition was not in the required NTFS format. Therefore I existed the process and tried to delete the Windows 7 partition that I have created, however it is not letting me do so.
When I now open the Boot Camp assistant, I get an error message stating 'the startup disk must be formatted as a single OS extended (journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows'.
Therefore I have the following questions:
1. How can I delete the 32Gb Windows 7 partition that I have created (I have tried via disk utility but to no avail).
2. How can I create a new partition in the required NTFS format for the Windows 7 installation (I do not believe that boot camp gave me this option, and it also only referred to Windows XP and Vista - no mention of Windows 7)
3. Are there any other pitfalls I should be aware of when installing Windows 7
Thanks in advance for all assistance.

Hi MacMiner,
while usually the correct way to remove your Windows partition is to use the BootCamp Assistant again which should give you the option to remove the made Windows partition and revert back to one OSX volume.
After that's done a reboot of your Mac might be advisable. After the reboot use the BootCamp Assistant again to make the Windows partition and then install the (hopefully correct) version of Windows.
Only if that's not working (whatever the reason) :
1) boot your Mac from your OSX install DVD
2) choose your language and then 'ignore' (cancel) the installation
3) from the Top Menu (Utilities) start Disk Utility (DU)
4) in DU click on your harddisk (not any partition) in the left pane (the first item listed)
5) in the right pane use the 'Partition'-Tab
6) click to highlight on the ex-Windows partition you want to delete
7) click on the small '-' Button at the bottom
That should delete your former Windows partition
After that's done successfully
8) Drag the partition separator line until it encompasses the entire drive and then select apply.
9) Quit Disk Utility
10) reboot your Mac from your harddisk.
Since you are 'fumbling' with your OSX partition you should consider having/making a backup of it before trying the a.m. procedure. Just in case.
The BootCamp Installation Guide (to be found here http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ ) pages 8 to 10 shows you when to reformat the WIndows partition to NTFS.
Since OSX can not do this you have to do this during the Windows installation.
IMHO, no more pitfalls to be there...

Stefan

Reinstalling windows 7 on bootcamp

I just got a new iMac (late 2013) 27" with Fusion drive, running Mavericks. I successfully installed Windows 7 via Bootcamp Assistant and everything is running fine. (I haven't activated it yet because I'll be setting up Parallels in the next few days.) This morning I realized I installed Windows 7 Home Basic rather than Premium. Do I need to uninstall Windows, destroy the Bootcamp partition and start over or is there some way I can do an upgrade in place?

Hi, I just found this post and have a similar situation. A couple months ago I got a new MBP 13" and installed Windows 7 Home Premium using Boot Camp and an ISO image downloaded from a site I was referred to by Microsoft support. I have an actual installation disc for Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit but for some reason the install disc wouldn't load during the installation process trying to use my third party (OWC/Pioneer) external BD drive. When I installed the ISO version I entered the product key of my bought version of Windows 7 as instructed by Microsoft. Now I'm getting messages that my copy of Windows 7 is not genuine and it won't accept my product key during the activation process. I borrowed an Apple USB Super Drive and wanted to try and reinstall Windows 7 again over the existing install using my installation disc. I will try your suggestion of just doing it in the Windows partition so I don't have to go through the entire Boot Camp setup process again.
My question is how do I know if Boot Camp needs updating after I reinstall Windows? Will it prompt me or is there a way to check? I still have the USB flash drive with the support software I downloaded during the original installation. Thank you for your assistance and any other guidance you have for this process.

Virus that wants to instal in cross over

I went to a site that redirected me to belay-one.ru/bio/invest.php
After that when I am browsing 3 crossover windows pop up and wants to install a window application.
On the bottom of the folder it says vbfolder_1s6ul What is going on. I thought that Apple doesn't have varuses.
I can not locate the windows exe file, that I could delete that annoyong pop up. I reinstalled FireFox, and it looks like its OK browsing with FF
But on Safari is still pops up now and then and wants to install. I can not reinstall Safari through time machine, it would not let me.
Any help is appreciated.

Since I have Cross Over installed it tries to install when I am on Safari, Wow!
It is still not clear to me whether you were running the windows version of safari under crossover or running safari under mac os. If mac os it is not causing nor going to cause any problems even if you start running crossover.
BTW, I was not on Russian site, Its my friends site and its called www.contractors4kids.org There is a button called Find Out More, where it redirect to another site that was hijact and sends viruses. Please don't go there...
Your original post said there was redirection to "belay-one.ru/bio/invest.php" so the .ru is the designation for a Russian site.
The task is to find this EXE file
If you can't find it it may not have downloaded. I showed you how to search for it . I also said that if the safari download preference has not been chaned in os x safari (assuming that is what you were running) it should be in Downloads in your home directory.
If you want another search tool then get Find any File. It will look in places spotlight doesn't normally index.

Sync problem after reinstalling windows

Last week I had Windows XP with the latest version of iTunes and my iPod could sync without any problems. But after I installed Windows 7, even if I have the same iTunes version, it won't sync anymore. I even tried a reset on the iPod and reinstalling iTunes, nothing works. I don't even get an error message. All it says is this:
The iPod 'Vicky' cannot be synced. An internal device error occured.
The iPod 'Vicky' cannot be synced. A folder was specified instead of a file.
The iPod 'Vicky' cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (0xE8004006).
The iPod 'Vicky' cannot be synced. There are too many files open currently.
Another one with a duplicate file, but I can't get it to appear right now.
It's always a different one. And sometimes iTunes even crashes and I have to reopen it.
What should I do?

have chosen to manually manage my iTunes library rather than copying all these MP3s to the iTunes folder.
Do you mean you checked *Manually manage music and videos* when the iPhone is selected? This is completely sepearate from managing yoru library. This allows you to manually manage the content on the iPhone.
Can I backup iTunes without actually making a backup of all my music files?
Yes. Copy /Music/iTunes/folder to the external drive.
My problem is that after reinstalling Windows my iPhone now wants to erase itself
So you have already reinstalled Windows?
If so, you cannot backup anything that is not there since you you already erased it when you reinstalled Windows.
BEFORE you reinstall Windows, you need to Deauthorize iTunes and backup /Music/iTunes/folder and all your media.

There's been an update for OSX ML which addresses the issue for installing Windows 8 on bootcamp.
It's NOT recommended that you Upgrade.. However, the way to get the drivers is:
You'll need an external USB drive formatted as FAT for this.
1) In OSX, start the Bootcamp Assistant
2) Press Next
3) UNTICK 'Remove WIndows 7 or Later Version'
4) TICK Download the Latest Windows Support Software from Apple
5) Insert USB drive
6) Press CONTINUE
The drivers should download, and copy a WIndowsSupport folder onto the USB drive.
I did notice that Windows 8 still requires beta drivers for some aspects such as VGA (the Radio HD Card), which you can get on the AMD website.
Futhermore, why are you using Windows 8 "32" bit when you blatently have a powerful 64bit?
Anyway, hope this post helps ;-)

I have an older Mac Pro (2006). I want to install Boot Camp and Windows. I have installed a boxed Snow Leapord on the machine. And it says the download of the Boot camp drivers cannot continue because they are not available. But at that point I have not inserted a windows disk, so how does it know i have XP?
So it appears I am limited to Windows 7? And where are the Windows 7/Boot Camp Drivers? On the OS disk?
Finally, since I have necer considered Windows 7 before, I assume there are no compatability issues with mainstream applications that were running in XP?
Thank you.

You're welcome
Just remember to reformat the partition (bootcamp partition) to NTFS with the windows installer, ensure to pick the correct partition.

Want to install Windows 8.1 Enterprise on my Yoga 2 10 tablet

I would like to install Windows 8.1 Enterprise on my Yoga 2 10 tablet. The tablet came with Windows 8.1 with Bing preinstalled. This upgrade will require a full reinstall as there's no upgrade path to the Enterprise from the preinstalled version. Unfortunately, there are no dowloads for drivers or the bundled software on the Lenovo support site for the Yoga 2 10 tablet (1051F). Will the drivers & bundled software eventually be available for download or are they something I need to purchase?

Hi all,
I finally figured it out. I have the 13" with the 64GB drive Yoga 2 Tablet.
Here's what I did.
1. I used Double Driver to scan my system and backup ALLof the original drivers to a flash drive.
2. I attached a USB 2.0 hub (Must be 2.0 to avoid additional driver issues during 8.1 enterprise install)
Attached a standard keyboard, mouse, and 8GB flash drive with Windows 8.1 Enterprise on it.
(the flash drive must be a standard flash drive and must be created to booth via UEFI. I used ISO2Disc to do this)
3. After I was sure the drivers backed up I shrunk the partition of the current windows drive to 20GB and created a new partition
4. I restarted and boot into the bios and turned secure boot OFF(after you push restart hold the volume up button until it brings you to it. Here you'll find the boot manager, BIOS, etc.)
5. I then restarted again and boot to UEFI USB that had my windows 8.1 enterprise (x86 only - x64 is not supported with these devices/BIOS that I know of)
I installed 8.1 Enterprise on the new partition that I'd just created out of the remaining space I took from the original windows install - It would not allow me in any way to install 8.1 OVER the previous windows install.
6. I installed windows as normal and then used Double Driver to do a restore of ALL the previous drivers I captured from the other partition with windows on it. I had to click through several "Publisher not found, do you want to install anyway?" prompts, but it worked out really well.
7. I did a restart and ensured that everything continued to work as expected.
8. Then I booted back into the Enterprise install and in Disk Management deleted the old partition of the previous windows install and recommisioned it as a new simple volume.
*At this point there are likely tools that would combine the partitions for me but I didn't have one nor could I get any good recommendations so I preceded to do it the only way I knew how and went to step 9.*
9. I went back and repeated Steps 5-7 but this time installing Enterprise on the Original partition.
10. After a restart and ensuring the drivers worked I did all the windows updates and checked to make sure everything was good.
11. I used disk management to delete the FIRST install of Enterprise and then expanded my SECOND install of enterprise to reclaim the unused space.
12. Installed all my normal programs, joined to domain, and treated it as a normal computer from here on out.
Note - I left the 100MB EFI untouched as I'm pretty sure this is what fuels the BIOS and boot. Also the ~5GB Recovery partition untouched in case I ran into any problems and needed my original factory image back.

I want to install Windows 7 in bootcamp on my imac with Lion 10.7, but only have a Windows 7 upgrade disk. I also have a full Vista. Can I install in bootcamp using the Windows 7 upgrade disk? If so, what do I need to know about how?

Hi,
I want to install Windows 7 on my imac in bootcamp. I have a windows 7 upgrade disk and a full vista disk. Normally on a PC I would install Vista, then upgrade to Windows 7. I see that bootcamp 4 only supports Windows 7.
Can I install the Windows 7 upgrade disk without first installing Vista? Will this work in bootcamp?
Thanks,
Jim

Install 7. Don't bother with applying drivers and such, just reboot again from DVD and install again, it will see the existing system and this time activation will be possible.
Vista is mess, takes longer etc. Hope you have SP1 version of 7. And for Vista, only SP2+ are even supported now, by MS.

Reinstalled Windows 7, No drivers wants to instal :(
