Runnig Win XP PRo (SP3) Boot Camp in Fusion 2 - Never Ending Progress bar..

Hello guys
I'm running Vmware fusion 2 and Have a Bootcamp partition of 32GB size (Latest Leopard ,MBP 15" 2.53Ghz ,4GB RAM). Fusion detects the Boot camp partition but when i click to run it it brings up a little window saying "Please wait while Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition to run....".
I left it to run over night (8+ Hrs) but the window was still there? It never finishes so i tried Force Quit and then did the below command in terminal (because Fusion was showing the Boot Camp partition as "Damaged" after the Force Quit):
rm -dfr "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp"
Running that command makes Fusion Remove the "damaged" Bootcamp and on on Fusion Restart Boot camp partition is recognized as normal again, so i tried to run the Boot Camp partition again in Fusion, The Progress bar window came up again saying "Please wait while Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition..." , i left it to run for another 5+ hours but nothing again! That window is still there and i had to force quit it since nothing ever happens,
Can someone please help?

More likely to get more help from their forum -

Bluetooth Mighty Mouse In Win XP Pro In Boot Camp

I just went and bought a bluetooth mighty mouse for my macbook. On the mac side it works great, but when i go to pair it to the windows side (or any other windows machine) it can see it but it always asks me for a pin.
does anyone have this problem or know what to do. I really wanna use this on the windows side of things too!!

Works great for me using basic functions - left/right click and scroll wheel.
I had first paired and named the mouse under OS X.
I booted into Windows XP Pro/SP2. The BT drivers did not work. I uninstalled the Apple drivers by running the installer, rebooted, reinstalled, and rebooted.
Note that you have to Ok unsigned drivers.
One the second boot, a dialog showed the BT drivers being installed. After everything settled down, I opened the BT Control Panel and asked to add the driver.
As soon as it started scanning, I pressed the right mouse button and turned the mouse on with the slide switch.
It showed up within less than 5 secs. I selected it, and a dialog asked for a key assignment. I let the computer assign the key.
Now it works like a charm, whether OS X or Windows is booted.
This mouse is great - it works on all surfaces, and no more chord!

After Upgrading to Windows XP Pro SP3 Boot Camp Will Not Boot

It just goes on and on and on. I restarted the computer and went into safe mode to shut it down. The funny thing is I can access it with VMWare Fusion.

Yeah, I start it up through the Windows partition, it goes to a screen that gives me the option of starting in windows xp home or continue with xp pro upgrade. When I continue with the upgrade that's when I get the unmountable disk error.

Did you download and install the Bootcamp Windows Support software according to the Bootcamp Installation Guides? http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
There is a Bootcamp Forum here. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp
You should ask Bootcamp questions there. The moderators may move this thread to the Bootcamp Forum.

Cannot install Windows XP Professional on my MacBook Pro using Boot Camp.

Cannot install Windows XP Professional on my MacBook Pro using Boot Camp. When I get to the point of inserting the Windows disc and clicking 'Install' at the Boot Camp Assistant screen, it keeps telling me that it cannot find the Install Disc. The installation disc I am using is a new full install disc. I have tried to do the same thing using a Windows 7 disc with the same results. Does anyone have any answers. I am getting desperate!

Reading the entire post is your friend:

Perhaps you could offer a suggestion then.

ITunes 10.1.2 upgrade on Win XP Pro SP3 Kills Internet access

The latest iTunes 10.1.2 install on my Win XP Pro SP3 system kills my Internet access. Internet status shows that I'm connected but Internet Explorer and Firefox can't connect to the server. Running Win XP Pro SP3 with all MS updates applied on a Dual-Core Intel 6600 chip, 4 gig of memory and a couple of terabytes of hard drive. When I do a restore from my backup hard drive to the prior OS and iTunes version, everything is back to normal. I didn't receive any error notifications both times from the install. I first did the install from the Apple website directly (and lost Internet access), then restored my backup system and downloaded the update separately and then installed and lost Internet access again. Am now back up using iTunes 10.1.1.4. Is this update from Egypt? (supposed to be funny).
Thanks-
Richard

Thanks for the link. I noticed that "Swut" from Orange County, Ca (see the post below) had a reply in the link you gave me referring to "Vipre" , which is an Anti-Virus program that I also use, like "Swut".
I will investigate this further. In defense of Apple, there is no way that they can test against every bit of software that we run on these PCs. I would hope that if we find out that there is some problem with the Vipre interface, both Apple and the Vipre people will be made aware of the problem.
Before I try the iTunes 10.2.1 upgrade again, I'll contact Sunbelt Software- the people who make Vipre and see if they have heard of this problem. I'll let all of you know what the results are.
Thanks- Richard Van Nostrand

I didn't have to go all the way through with TRG10987s solution. When I got to step 4 I noticed that VIPRE had installed multiple virtual network adapters on to of the network adapters. I uninstalled VIPRE thereby deleting the virtual adapters ran the upgrade, and reinstalled VIPRE. Everything works fine now.
Thanks to TG10987, who put me on the path."

You can upgrade to Windows 8.1 for free. Just open the Windows Store in Windows 8 and you will see an option to download Windows 8.1 update. The update may take several hours.

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.

Can not install windows 7 pro using boot camp as mouse and keyboard will not work Help please

I have a new iMac and trying to install Windows 7 Pro using boot camp. I have reached the stage of starting to load windows from the DVD then discovered the mouse and the keyboards not working so I could not interact with windows installation.

Open, if not so already, the Windows formatter. Identify the BC Windows partition. It will be the one listed with the proper size you created and/or will be labeled as a C: drive. Be careful you select the right one or you may be corrupting the entire drive.
Format the partition as NTFS.

802.11ac not recognized on Windows 8.1 Pro under Boot Camp.

I just installed Windows 8.1 Pro under Boot Camp. The issue I am having is that the 802.11ac network is not recognized in Windows. Windows only recohnizes the 802.11n network. When I boot up OSX Yosemite, It works as usual. Anyone else have this problem?

8/8.1 will install fine but there's some stuff you need to do before starting to ensure no issues
purchase a retail 8/8.1 license
use only a USB2 flash drive
get a clean 8 or 8.1 ISO
newer machines are more selective with the ISO for some reason (ISOs that worked to install Windows on many different older Macs would not work)
if you've made lots of changes, hacks and adjustments trying to get this work on your own, you should clean install OSX first, do not restore from time machine and start at step 3 to get Windows installed, you can go back later and copy files back to OSX
if you want to try without clean installing OSX, here goes
open boot camp assistant (bca) and choose option 3 ONLY if it reads 'remove/delete' Windows
open disk utility (du) and confirm that your HD now only has 1 single partition ('macintosh HD' unless you've renamed it)
restart machine and do a PRAM reset
open du and repair permissions TWICE
open bca and choose all 3 options (create, download, install)
from here, the process follows the standard boot camp instructions (http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf) but pay attention to step 3 where you do have to manually reformat the boot camp partition
clean ISOs

Reinstall/repair adobe reader 11.0.08 on win xp pro sp3 - ole trouble.

Hi,
i want to reinstall adobe reader 11.0.08 on win xp pro sp3.
Reinstallint using setup seem to work, but ole is not working: e.g. from word , I do insert object, click ole , select adobe acrobat object, then app freezes.
2 processes are created dor adobe reader and I have to do "end-task".
Inserting another ole object (e.g. excel) works!
I tried uninstall from control panel.
I also downloaded and ran acrobat_ittools_cleaner_p1_061713 and acrobat_ittools_cleaner_p2_061713 (downloaded from your web site), then reboot and reinstall. No change!
Any hint?

Hi albourg,
Try disabling the protected mode in Reader and check the performance.
You can find the option at: Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced) > Enable Protected Mode at startup

HT5639 Do I need to uninstall boot camp 4 before I install and update to boot camp 5. I already have windows 8 pro with boot camp 4 installed. Do I need to unistall boot camp 4 or not necessary?

I already have windows 8 pro with boot camp 4 installed on my macair book 11". I have searched the entire articles on how to upgrade boot camp 4 to boot camp 5 but have found no answer as to my question: Do you have to uninstall boot camp 4 drivers before you install boot camp 5? I am not sure if it is ok to install boot camp 5 directly without uninstalling boot camp 4 because there might be driver version conflict. So I have not installed boot camp 5. Is it ok to install boot camp 5 withoust uninstalling boot camp 4? Your answers will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You don't have to uninstall Boot Camp 4 drivers before installing Boot Camp 5 drivers. Boot Camp 5 drivers will simply overwrite Boot Camp 4 drivers, so you don't have to uninstall old drivers before installing new ones and making that process easier
