Stuck in the installation with windows using boot camp

I gave windows 35GB on my HDD. When I came to the part in the installation to chose a place to install windows on, all the places that was showing gaved my the answer "you need to have NTFS". The problem was that none of them had it, not even the 35GB space that I made with boot camp for this.
I chose to stop it all and started go back in the installation. But when I came to the choosing of languages I clicked on "x", then my computer started restarting itself. It is know I am stuck.
I manage to get the installation disk out, so now my screen is black and all that is showing is "no bootable device -- insert boot disc and press any key"
I dont know how to get back to ios.
Please help me find a way to get back to iOS!

You must read the Boot Camp directions before charging in, this is clearly covered on Page 7.
Reboot: at the sound of the chime press and hold the option key. When the startup manager loads select OSX to boot from.
IOS is for iPads, you want to get back to OSX

  • I just bought a 15" macbook pro, do the cds that come with the mac have the drivers i need to update windows after installing windows using boot camp?

    What DVDs are this ?
    If it is OSX Snow Leopard Installation DVD then yes this disc contains the BootCamp Drivers version 3.x and is needed after the installation of Windows to install the BootCamp Drivers.
    With OSX Lion BootCamp is at version 4.x and the BootCamp Drivers have to be downloaded during use of the BootCamp Assistant in OSX.

  • HT5446 If I buy a mac mini with a fusion drive and add windows using boot camp, can I make the SSD function be dedicated to the windows partition?

    If I buy a mac mini with a fusion drive and add windows using boot camp, can I make the SSD function be dedicated to the windows partition?

    Additional information from Linc's post. Basically, only one additional partition can be added to a Fusion Drive and it resides on the HDD.
    Do computers that come with a Fusion Drive support Boot Camp?
    Yes. Use the Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition and install Boot Camp. The Windows partition will exist on the hard disk drive, not the Flash drive, and is not part of Fusion Drive Logical Volume Group. 3TB Fusion Drive configurations need to update to OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.3 or later to install Windows 8. See iMac (27-inch, Late 2012): Boot Camp alert with 3T hard drive for more information.

  • Unable to open windows using boot camp.  Get message "The bless tool was unable to set the current boot disk."  Any thoughts, Thank you.

    Unable to open windows using boot camp.  Get message "The bless tool was unable to set the current boot disk."   I am using an Imac , Lion operating system, and Windows 7.  It worked a few days ago.  Any thoughts, Thank you.

    Note that nowhere in the Boot Camp instructions does it tell you to use Disk Utility to format the Windows partition. The Boot Camp Assistant program creates the partition & sets the +partition scheme info+ of the disk as appropriate for the Windows installer but the Windows installer itself is responsible for formatting the new partition with the appropriate +file system scheme+ (NTFS for Windows 7).
    If you follow the instructions in the Boot Camp Installation & Setup Guide to the letter you should have no problems installing Windows.

    Ok Great,
    Will installing Boot Camp drivers allow me to both read and write to the OS X Volume from windows?
    This is important as if it will it means i can make the windows partition a lot smaller and keep all my files on the OS X partition which would be preferable.

    No, OSX will be read only (from Windows) and vice versa. (you can install 3rd party utilities on either or both partitions, to make read/write possible)

  • I need help with boot camp. "Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."

    This message appears every time I try to partition my disk:
    "Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
    I verified my Macintosh HD disk on Disk utility and then tried to repair it, but I am unable to click the repair button.
    It says it's not available because the startup disk is selected.
    I don't know what to do or how to go about both these problems.
    Please, any suggestions?

    There is no Lion DVD. Start Boot Camp Assistant and select the menu item to download the Windows Support Software.

  • Using an external hdd with windows on boot camp

    Im looking into using boot camp, and was thinking about the option that you get for seeing files that you create in XP within mac OSX, well, wot would happen if i had an external hdd?
    ive got one connected thru firewire, and when i use "Get Info" it tells me the format is Mac OS Extended.
    Now, would that be recognised within XP, and would i be able to move/store files onto it, and then use them within OSX
    If it could, then it would save me having to use a large partition for XP, and the alternative format type.
    If anyone could help me out
    Cheers

    You would need to ensure that both the Mac OS and Windows XP OS had read/write privileges.

    No, not without third party software.

    You could is you used MacDrive which will allow you to read Mac formatted disks on a Windows PC.

  • Magic Mouse with Windows 7 Boot Camp

    I get that this discussion has been posted here and on other forums throughout the web. I still don't get it. My Magic Mouse works when I use Mac, but when I use Boot Camp Windows 7 Professional 64-bit I can't get it to install. The number 2 step people keep saying is "right click" on the magic mouse. Do I right click the actual mouse or the magic mouse icon? Also, how do I right click if the Mac I have only has the pad? I'm new to Mac's and tried clicking the right side of the pad and nothing different happens.
    I'm really bad with computers so if someone can break it down as easy as possible I would much appreciate it.

    NotGood,
    Can you help those of us who are still struggling with this issue, by explaining what you did?
    Thanks,

  • Installed Windows using boot camp but lost my mac disc mid setup!

    I am on a Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and used Boot Camp 3.0.4 to try and get Windows 7 on it. I partitioned the hard drive and successfully installed Windows 7 on my comp using my Windows 7 CD. However, being the overeager moron that I am, I did so without ensuring that I have a Snow Leopard CD. So now I am stuck in Windows. Anybody got any solutions for a dumb man?

    you are not stuck.
    the default OS is set to the Windows volume
    hold down x on startup
    or hold down option key after the chime sound and wait for the startup selector
    when you get to OS X then go to Startup Disk control in system preferences

  • Problem to install Windows using Boot Camp 3.0.4 in Macbook Air (2008)

    Hi Folks!
    Please I need help.
    I have a original Macbook Air of 2008 (http://support.apple.com/kb/SP8?viewlocale=pt_BR) with the Mac OS Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and I want to install the Windows 7 Professional x64 as a secondary partition using the BootCamp 3.0.4. After steps necessary for create a new partition with the BootCamp, I rebooted the machine with the "Windows 7 Professional installation DVD" in DVD device, but then the setup Windows installation does not appears, showing the initialization white screen of the Mac OS with the apple image, a symbol of emptiness and a folder with a "?" symbol within alternating infinitely and do not finish.
    I tried with the Windows Ultimate Vista x86, but occurs the same.
    Please, what can I do to install the Windows in my Macbook Air?
    Thanks a lot!
    Regards,
    Jonas Presse

    No, I did not get a solve. Actually, my problem worsened. I tried it again, but this time the computer wouldn´t detect my alu keyboard, hence I couldn´t select a drive to tell the bloody thing where to boot from. That is weird, because at the time I opened this thread it did work. I actually had to borrow a wired keyboard so I could hit alt and get it to work.
    At the moment I am not so keen on trying it again......

  • Leopard with windows through boot camp

    I downloaded windows xp through boot camp today. The installation instructions say I also need to download leopard to the windows side. Do I really need to install mac ox s leopard to the windows side of my mac? And what does leopard do? Will I bee fine without downloading it?

    Need clarification.
    BootCamp makes a partition on the hard drive which can then accomodate a Windows installation. You have to have a genuine retail XP installation disk in order to install after using BootCamp to make the partition. The Leopard disk has the Apple drivers necessary for Windows to function on Apple hardware properly and is installed when booted from Windows.
    Please read throught these links to see if you missed something.

  • Number keys on Mac keyboard with Windows in boot camp

    I am using the full size wired keyboard with my iMac. While I am in WIndows XP Pro on Boot Camp, I can not use the number keys on the right side. Is there any way I can make these work? It might be picky, but is sure annoying the crap out of me. Any thoughts?

  • Missing 1280 x 800 in Windows using Boot Camp

    Hi there. I have a 2009 Mac mini with nVidia graphics. I'm using an Acer X223w widescreen LCD monitor. In OS X I am able to select 1280 x 800 for my screen resolution. In Windows 1280 x 800 is not an available option. I looked for drivers for this monitor but there are not any for WIndows XP. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can use 1280 x 800 in Windows XP?
    Thanks.

    With Windows, it may not be the Monitor, but the Display Adapter. Go to Start>Control Panel>Display>Settings>Advanced>Adapter. If the correct adapter is not installed, it may affect what resolutions you can display. A Monitor can be seen as a generic device, like the Wide Screen Monitor at my job, and there are options available to display wide screen because Windows has the correct display adapter installed. If you need the drive, go to http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
    and use Option 2: Automatically find drivers for my NVIDIA products.
    I hope this helps.
