Sharing XP(Boot Camp) with OS9

Is there a way I can get my Windows XP via Boot Camp (OS 10.5.6) to connect over my LAN to a folder on another Mac that uses OS 9.2.2?

Mac OS 9 can share its files via AppleTalk or via TCP/IP.
Mac OS X can share files using all OS 9 protocols, Unix protocols, or Windows protocols such as SMB/CIFS.
Windows can share files with other Windows machines. (As far as Windows is concerned, there are no other kinds of computers.)

Can i use an external hard drive in windows to add additional storage after my initial partition is set up. i want to add a 500 GB hard drive to use with my windows. I set windows up in boot camp with a 50 GB partition?

Yes. Windows supports external USB drives.

Cinema DIsplay sleeps when I use Boot Camp with Radeon 5870 through DVI connection

I just created a bootcamp partition on my Mac Pro (1,1) with Radeon 5870 and XP Professional so I can play Train Simulator 2012 with maxed out settings. Well after hours of installing Windows XP and updating it (via Parallels so I could do other things while waiitng for Windows) I got Train Simulator 2012 installed, Windows XP Professional fully upto date and reboot to bootcamp. I see the Windows screen and then my monitor goes to sleep (best guess). I am using an Apple Cinema Display 20" and is of course connected to the DVI port. One guess (and I hope I am totally wrong about this) is I think I remember reading the DVI port id display 3 not 1. I hope this isn't the problem (requiring me to buy a $40 Mini Display port for DVI adapter.
Any ideas as to why this is happening? I was so looking forward to playing Train Simulator with maxed out graphics via Boot Camp with the Radeon 5870 1GB. Don't get me started as to why my line out is not being detected by XP Pro.
I also have the latest Bootcamp drivers for XP (3.2).

Never used XP and on Mac Pro I wanted to use all 4-cores and more than 1.9GB RAM but often it seems that in the past and with Fusion anyway you would need to install Windows updates and drivers natively not thru or in the VM.

Driver issue FIXED in Vista / boot camp with new, unibody macbook pro!!

Hay people, I found a fix for the freezing issues with Vista running in Boot camp with the new, unibody Macbook pros. The driver for the 9600M Gt is no good if you install it from the Apple 2.1 version driver disc (Mac osx disc)for some (most) of us.
I needed to go to Nvidia's site and download the one from DECEMBER 08. If you click the "download drivers" tab on the site, scroll past the current driver it wants you to look at (go to the near bottom of page), click the archives, and input your OS version. Also input "Gforce" and "M" series when needed. It will give you a choice of two drivers. DO NOT CHOOSE THE FEB 09 Driver. Thats the BAD driver for most of us. Choose the DECEMBER 08 driver. Download and enjoy. Be sure to roll back the VGA driver (or the current driver) first before you install this. It should work.
I've been through the ringer with this for weeks now and have even tried to take my MBP back to swap for a new one. Apple wont have any of that so I thought I was SOL. Not quite. This DOES work for me with Vista. It also works for Windows & if you have it handy.
By the way, I am posting this for people who HAVE HAD THE FREEZING problems, not for people who haven't. Apparently there are some out there who are running Vista just fine on their unibody MBS's. Most of us are not.
Cheer's-----Seattle, where the evil empire looms dark

This never worked. I sold that machine and got a new 17" unibody. IT, by the way, works just fine. I KNEW it was that **** 15'. It took 30 more seconds to boot up I found out also.

Boot Camp with Win 8 Can't See The USB External Drive [MBR with NTFS, Fat32, HFS Partitions]

Hi. When I boot to Boot Camp with the latest Apple Windows Support drivers can't see my USB Flash Drive, DVD and OS X volumes but not my USB external drive that has an MBR partition scheme (using iPartition from GUID) and in there it has different volumes [HFS when I boot to Snow Leopard, Fat32, NTFS]. What can I do with Boot Camp to make it see my USB external drive and why isn't it seeing the USB when it can see the USB flash drive both use USB?
Thank you in advance.
God bless.

Keep getting error occurred while formatting the disk using boot camp with usb

So I keep getting the above error when trying to use boot camp with a USB drive. I have tried with more than one flash drive, all formatted to FAT32, multiple isos, both ripped right from a windows 7 ultimate dvd and downloaded, and I have made sure the iso was unmounted. I have also tried all different combinations of checking the options in the boot camp assistant menu. Any ideas on how to get this to work?

I was mistakenly thinking of the Fat16 limit. That is my mistake.
When bootcamp assistant failed to create the USB from my iso disk (with no explanation), I decided to experiment a little with the dd and cp utilities. dd failed, and cp told me the install file was too big.
The install.wim on my iso is 4,351,019,025 bytes. So even if 4GB is the file size limit, it is too big. 4GB is 4,294,967,296 bytes if I recall.
If I am still right about the file size, smaller editions of windows 7 would be able to fit on the flash drive, or people can have an actual DVD with windows 7 and install from there.

Hi, I have installed boot camp with wins xp home but i can't get on line with it. can only one help please.

Hi, I have installed boot camp with wins xp home but i can't get on line with it. can only one help please.

Please close this thread, I have managed to get a hold of a DVD including all the drivers, so I suppose that will work, if not one way then another.
Thank you for the quick answers.

Am I able to install Windows 7 in Boot Camp with this HDD partition setup?

I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion, and my Boot Camp partition was obliterated beyond recognition. Fortunately I have backups, but I'm having issues re-installing Windows 7. This is what my disk looks like:
Mac OSX - Current Lion partition
Untitled - Where Boot Camp / Windows 7 used to live...
Shared - 1TB of shared data... Media/Documents/etc
This is the error I get when trying to install Windows 7 with Boot Camp Assistant...
From what I can tell, this means I won't be able to do it without wiping the Shared partition? Or is there a workaround I can use? I'd really hate to have to move all of it over to an external hard drive, since I don't have one with 750GB of free space handy...
And would this probably happen again once Mountain Lion comes out? I'll be getting that pretty much on launch, so should I hold off on messing around with this if I'll likely have to do it all again in a few weeks?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
- Mark

Why don't you invest in a 1.5TB drive and case? And add to that a TimeMachine drive (and a small 40GB or even less "Emergency OS X" partition on it... a must - could even have clone of Lion and Lion Recovery on it, AND TimeMachine partition.
If you don't have a backup, it almost always will "rain" on the parade.
If you try booting from Windows 7 DVD and aim it at the parittion, what happens? tried?
To use BCA yes it is one partition and one way only.
You could remove " - " the UNTITLED volume and then expand Mac OS volume to fill that area, or plan for and setup Lion Recovery space too.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
People have managed. Usually planning ahead up front for a setup like this.
CLONE OS X and ~ or install Lion on an external drive and create a Lion Recovery partition.

Sharing the Boot Camp Partition

I partitioned the hard drive, installed Boot Camp, installed VMFusion so I can run the boot camp partition in a window, and assigned 1G of my memory to the Virtual PC.
Query: Can I, and how do I, make it so the Mac can read and write to the Windows partition? I have Word files, I'd really like to be able to access from both. I tried sharing the Windows partition, but that doesn't seem to work.
Thanks.

Okay, here we go: Checked Get Info\Permissions and Sharing and I have read write permissions on the Boot Camp partition which is named Windows HD.
So I boot up Word and vreate a new doc with the text "Test test" I go to Save. I select Windows HD. I find the My Documents portion of that drive. And I am told:
Word cannot save or create this file. The disk
may be full or write-protected.
Try one of the following:
* Free more meory.
*Make sure that the disk you want to save
the file on is not full, write-protected, or damaged.
(Test Test.doc)
So I'm back to stuck again. I guess I'll try to see about write-protecting.

Can my MacBook Pro use boot camp with Windows 7 with BitLocker encryption?

I'm at wit's end with this, and I'm hoping I can get some advice here. I've read so many forum, posts and reviews that I'm not entirely sure what I can trust.
I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro (MacBookPro8,3). I need to run Windows encrypted for work purposes. It needs to be real windows with full-disk encryption (FDE). The business tools run in boot camp, but not in Parallels, because Parallels doesn't support DirectX 11. I would also benefit greatly from an SSD.
I do not want to do anything hacky like removing the Mac reocovery partition, because I've read that just loading Disk Utility in OS X might mess up your patrition boot tables as it tries to "fix" things. I don't want to have to manually reocover to fix stuff or chance losing data.
I have read (and tried) installing BitLocker on Windows 7 Ultimate under boot camp, but ran into the partition limit on my internal HDD. A maximum of 4 partitions are allowed, and between OS X, its recovery, boot camp, and the Windows partition, all 4 are used.
I have considered one of the following, which may work:
Install OWC's Data Doubler Kit with an additional 240GB SSD (http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/DDMBS6E240/). I would replace the internal SuperDrive with the HDD, and install the new SSD on the faster SATA 6G port. Windows would be installed on the SSD and OS X would stay on the HDD.
Replace the internal HDD with a new SSD (keeping the SuperDrive). I would lose OS X altogether and just have Windows installed.
Forget the entire thing and just buy a PC for work.
My thoughts are that with option both options #1 and #2, I don't even know if these setups will allow BitLocker. In both cases, Windows will be the only partition on the drive, so I'm assuming that when BitLocker is installed, there will be room for the new partition it creates. With option #1, I'm pretty sure I'd still be using Boot Camp, but how would that would for option #2? Is boot camp used even though there is no Mac partition? Would I still need to keey the Mac Recovery partition for this to work? I'd probably need to use Boot Camp drivers under Windows, I think.
I'd certainly be interested in using a self-encrypting drive (SED), especially a SSD, but I'm concerned that most of them appear to require TPM or BIOS functions that Mac's EFI does not provide. Such a drive would allow me to drop BitLocker, but I would need to be use the self-encryption actually works on this setup. From what I've read, most of the SED drives will work just fine under EFI, but you won't be able to set or access the encryption password, which pretty much makes these drives unencrypted.
I've read that BitLocker can be configured to use a flash drive as a decryption key, but I haven't been able to test that yet. I'm tried creating bootable flash drives under Windows and OS X, and none of them seem to appear when I access the boot menu (hold option during boot chime). I don't even know if this system supports bootable USB flash drives, or whether they can be used as a BitLocker key under boot camp.
For the record, I have attempted to use an external thunderbolt drive as my Windows partition, but Windows doesn't want to be installed on removable media, and even if it worked, I believe you can only boot OS X from thunderbolt. I do have a second OS X install booting from the thunderbolt drive, so I know that works. Also, FileVault 2 is installed on my OS X partition, and I read something about FV2 using the Recovery partition somehow so you can't remove the recovery partition to make room for BitLocker.
So ... does anyone have any suggestions preferably based on personal experience as to whether options #1 or #2 should work for my needs?
At this point, I'm really thinking I should just bite the bullet and purchase a PC that I will forever look down upon.

Are you using a MacBook Pro? Is everything installed on the same drive?
I would love to know how that install was performed. When I install Windows under boot camp, my MacBook Pro drive ends up with 4 partitions: Mac, Mac Recovery, Windows, and a small partition that I believe is used by boot camp.
Installing BitLocker on Windows requires the creation of a new small partition that Windows will boot off. The small partition is unencrypted, while the primary Windows partition will get encrypted. The following post discusses the maximum partition issue: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22753791#22753791
Has anyone installed Windows through boot camp on it's own drive, and if so, can BitLocker be installed on that without reaching any partition limit? I'm assuming that's possible, but would like to know before I spend hundreds on new hardware.

I can access internet via boot camp with windows 7, but not when I use the Mac w/Mt Lion side. Thanks for any tips!

I'm using a 2012 Intel-based iMac with Mt. Lion and Windows 7 with Boot Camp. I used to be able to access the internet on both sides. Now, my only internet access is through Boot Camp. At one point, access was unable on both sides but IE in Windows 7 automatically diagnosed the problem, changed some settings (which I don't know) and I could access the internet on both sides . . . for a while. Now, I can only get online in Boot Camp. Since IE detects no problems it doesn't apply the fix as it did before. Does anybody know what's going on?
I should mention that I installed Boot Camp because there is no Mac version of the software (VantagePoint) I need to use (duh). I wanted to be able to use the software w/o rebooting all the time so I installed Fusion. Of course, I didn't ask the VantagePoint techs if this would solve my issue. It didn't - VantagePoint won't work with Fusion, but it will with Parallels. So I installed Parallels and imported Boot Camp. Apparantly, it was not set up properly, I'm getting all kinds of errors reported in Console (e.g. "Found cross-bounds GPT partition. GPT disk detected," mdworker cannot talk to sandbox, etc.). The VantagePoint techs say the first step in a VM retry is to regain internet access to the Mac.
Anybody who can help will become my new best friend. Thanking you.

Video Out in Boot Camp with Windows XP

Sorry, this is my first help request... i hope i write in a correct section.
I installed Windows XP SP2 with boot camp in my Mac Book Pro. I have the third part MiniDisplay Port to HDMI adapter with audio. I use it for projector. I always use it without problems.
With Windows XP i can't use it... i don't know why. The adapter is power off (led is off) and i don't know what i have to do for use second monitor in woindows XP.
I know about FN+F5 in windows... but in Mac F5 is keyboard light and if i set Functions keys as normal key (from Boot Camp Options) F5 is refresh key and fn+F5 is the keyboard light.
So what i have to do?
Thaks
Ale

Yes, XP will be able to detect the expansion card if you download the appropriate drivers online. When bootcamp was first starting... this article circulated http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305401... summary, you should remove the fiber channel card before bootcamping. Since then the software has gone through the proper modifications that you can just plug the card in, boot into windows, and download the LSi driver for XP.
So you'll have no problem setting this up.

Unable to connect to internet or print wirelessly on Boot Camp with Windows 7

I recently installed Boot Camp and Windows 7 on my Mac Book Pro with no problems.
A month later, I am unable to connect to internet or print wirelessly.
It states that I am connected to my router.
When I trouble shoot, it cannot find the problem.
My wireless connection and cable connection are fine on the MAC side.
Please help.

looks a like a Windows 7 problem. I assume that you can click on the current connection info on the task bar and see a connection to your wireless router? Have you updated your copy of Windows since it was working? I am wondering if it's an update that's applied in Windows which has done something.

Boot Camp with Windows 7

I just ordered a new MacBook Pro 17" and would like to run Boot Camp on it with Windows 7. If I just go ahead and buy Windows 7 from the Microsoft Store with a download CD will this work? I have heard rumors that you first have to partition it with Windows XP and then upgrade it to Windows 7? Any tips anyone has for me for doing this would be much appreciated.

Make sure your not looking at an "upgrade" version, you would have to have XP already in order to use Window 7 then. Otherwise it's just a rumor.
If you download it, all you have to do is burn the image at 2x speed like "Thehatter" said and then you will have a permanent copy also.
You might ask Microsoft, or do a search, and see if you have to burn it as an "ISO" (it becomes a Bootable disk instead of just a copy) or whatever. I haven't done it yet so I don't know myself. It might have instructions with the download.
Go here:
-- http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ -- and read the Windows 7 FAQ, Boot Camp FAQ and the Installation Guide a couple of times and by the time your computer get's here you should have a pretty good idea on how to do it.
Basically you just click on BootCamp Assistant in the Utility folder and then just follow the instructions. Have the Windows 7 and Mac-OS Installer disk ready.
Download the Installation Guide and read it a few times to familiarize yourself.
It's really not that hard. You might even read some of the older posts in this forum just to see some questions and answers you might have.

Installing Windows 7 in Boot Camp with iso

I have downloaded an .iso file with Windows 7 on but I can't install it in Boot Camp. I've tried several things with no luck.
1. For the first, when I start up Boot Camp assistant I can't choose to "Create a Windows 7 install disk". I only have the two bottom options, the one for downloading support software and the one for installing windows 7. So I can't use my .iso file there.
2. I tried to burn a bootable dvd with the .iso file. I burned it on a Windows PC since my superdrive won't burn on the discs I've got (DVD+R). The disc works properly on the Windows PC but when i mount it in my Macbook I only get a popup that says I've put in a blank disc and some options of what I wan't to do next.
3. I tried to make a bootable flash drive and that pops up in finder, but the Boot Camp assistant won't recognize it and says I have to put in a Windows 7 install disc.
4. I also tried to open the image file in disc utility, but the result is the same as if I'm trying with a flash drive.
I'm out of ideas now so it would be nice if someone else knew any other possibilites to install Windows 7 in Boot Camp.
Or maybe there is an solution for the things I've alleready tried?
I'm using a MacBook Pro late 2008

Does it boot off the internal?
Is the external a full copy of your working system?> whew! then you can always wipe it clean and start over.
As long as the partition was created properly.... though 50GB can work it can also be slim fit in the end.
Under the worst condition - and the Mini is one of the worst, too - two minutes maybe to restart.
External because there never was an internal DVD player?
zap pram.
did you buy DVD or burn DVD? if burned, then that is likely cultprit Redo at slowest burn speed (2x) with verify.
Heck, even Windows 7 SP1 has been implicated on some were pre-SP1 worked.
For a test, there is Windows 8 RP for free. And Parallels 7 will set up a VM for you with the whole download and inistall. Not everyone needs to run natively.
