Trouble with Initial Windows 8 Restart on 2010 MBP

I just attempted to download 64-bit Windows 8 onto my 2010 MBP via Boot Camp. It is a legal version I got through my university; I downloaded the .iso file onto a flash drive through a Windows computer, and then burned it onto a blank DVD via Disk Utility on my Mac. I also downloaded the Windows Support Software onto a second flash drive. The installation completed and my computer restarted.
When it did, it showed a black screen with the 4-rectangle Windows 8 logo in the middle. It freezes there for ~10-15 minutes, and then shows me a blue screen titled "Recovery" and says the error code is 0xc00000e9. This process can be repeated by turning my computer off and then on again. I have tried removing all external devices (except the burned DVD disk, which I cannot figure out how to eject; the eject button does nothing), with no success. I also cannot switch back to Os X by holding the "option" button at the white screen; my computer automatically tries to load Windows regardless. Please let me know if you have any suggestions; aside from what I have just described, my computer has no discernible functionality.
Specs:
MBP 2010
Os X Mavericks (can't remember exactly which version and I can't open Os X to check)
Windows partition: 100 GB out of 500 GB

  • Anyone having trouble with the new update for 2010 mac book air 10.8.2?

    Anyone having trouble with the new update for 2010 mac book air 10.8.2 ? My 2010 Macbook Air has crashed 15times since the 10.8.2 update. Have only once since owning it.

    Turned out the hardware was bad.  Apple exchanged it for a new Mac Air and the new trackpad works great.  Thank goodness it was a defect.  If the trackpads all worked like that I would have been bummed.

  • Considering windows 7 on 2010 MBP

    How does windows 7 on a MAC compare to windows 7 on other PCs?

    I don't have a MBP but from reading and inference, I'd say battery life is shorter; thermal fan control isn't as good and tends to run hotter.
    No way to modify your system BIOS as Apple uses their own proprietary version of EFI.
    Graphic drivers sometimes cause trouble updating.
    You'll need to manually update audio drivers.
    Backup and restore is 'unique' too as a result.
    Apple owners tend to like more hand-holding and find it hard to understand.
    But all in all, pretty close.

  • Troubles with connection Windows XP

    Just got my new iPhone4, but now my computer turns off when I try to connect.  It went well the first time when I syncronised the iPhone with iTunes, but after an update the computer just "crashes" when i connect with usb. No problem to turn it on again when i remove the connection, but it pops up a window "windows has just recovered from serious error!"
    I also have an iPod and iPad, but there is no problem with the connection with those two.
    Help! Anyone?

    Are you using encryption?

  • Trouble with Finder window

    Hi,
    My finder window suddenly stopped opening. Also noticed that my ABOUT MY COMPUTER doesn't open up as well. Any suggestions?
    MacBook Pro Mac OSX, 10.7.5 4GB
    Thanks

    Hi dtsering,
    Happy Holidays!  Have you tried restarting your computer to reset your Finder application?  If you did, and are still having an issue, then restart the computer in Safe Mode.  Then open Finder and the "About My Mac" menu from the Apple logo.  Restart your computer as normal and you should be back in business.  
    OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
    What is "Safe Mode"?
    Safe Mode (sometimes called Safe Boot) is a way to start up your Mac so that it performs certain checks, and prevents some software from automatically loading or opening. 
    Starting up in Safe Mode does several things:
    It verifies your startup disk, and attempts to repair directory issues if needed.
    Startup Items and Login Items are not opened during startup and login on OS X v10.4 or later.
    Together, these changes can help resolve or isolate certain issues on your startup disk.
    Starting up in Safe Mode
    Follow these steps to start up into Safe Mode.
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be pressed as soon as possible after startup, but not before the startup sound.
    Release the Shift key when you see the Apple logo appear on the screen.
    After the Apple logo appears, it may take longer than usual to reach the login screen. This is because your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
    To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • Trouble with initial Time Capsule backup

    I have just installed Time Capsule, and attempted the initial backup. The initial backup always fails with the error message "disk image cannot be created". After this failure, the "Airport Utility" will not recognise the Time Capsule, although the Time Capsule continues with a green light and the internet connection still works through Time Capsule. I have to reset Time Capsule for "Airport Utility" to recognise it again each time the backup fails with the error message above. Any ideas on how to correct the error and do the intial backup?
    Thanks

    -New to Mac-
    I switched this year after using WIN for years.
    I cannot get my Time Capsule to work. I tried everything in the 'forums', re-booted several times, changed the name of the Capsule, re-set, unplugged, used paper clips etc. I thought MAC's just 'worked' too. Not so far. I'm confident I will get it working even if I have to call Apple but I thought I'd read the fixes here first.
    I can see the drive in the finder. I have moved iTunes files over to the Time Cap so it's saving other files but I keep getting a 'unable to mount' message when I try to do a backup. Even deleted the 'sparse' bundle file (can't delete one of the files, 'bands' in use message) but still no worky.
    Still convinced Mac is a better system. Just put off on not being able to backup my MacBookPro...Not to mention the 300 bucks for the Time Capsule...

    Does anyone have any information that might help...? Thanks (and I'm sorry for posting what probably is an annoying question!)

  • Install Windows 7 with Bootcamp 2HD setup in a MBP

    Hello Everyone,
    I have a 2010 MBP with an SSD for my main drive and a rotational 750gig for my secondary "storage" drive. I have windows installed via parallels on the second drive for games. But I have realized that when I play games windows taxes my system and I think I could get better performance out of my games if the game was running natively on my system. I only want to have windows installed because some of my favorite games will never make their way over to the Mac platform, no matter how much I cry and begg the developer. Here is my situation:
    I have the current bootcamp software and I am able to launch bootcamp.
    Bootcamp runs and creates a separate partition on the second drive, the one that I want it on and then restarts like normal.
    I have my CD/DVD drive connected via USB and it is recognized by bootcamp and my MBP before the restart. When the restart takes place the drive spins the windows setup disk but does not try to install windows.
    My next step is to manually restart the MBP and hold the option key which gives me the option to boot into my Mac OSX disk, Recovery, Windows Install, or BFI Boot (or whatever the windows boot partition of the install disk is). When I choose the BFi or whatever the boot partition of the windows install disk is the screen goes blank and then asks to boot from CD or DVD. I hit the enter key before time runs out and it starts the install. The bar progresses accross the screen and the CD/DVD drive spins up like normal. When the progress bar reaches the end of the screen (the black and white one that says loading windows files) the progress stops and the CD/DVD drive slows and stops. There is a pause and then it starts to spin up again but only to half speed and the screen remains the same (like a hang). I have waited for some time and the screen never changes and the drive evenutally stops spinning.
    I think this is a hang but I do not know what could be causing it. I have read that bootcamp will not load from USB, no problem since I can get the MBP to sort of load and install windows from USB anyways. I just cant get past the initial "loading windows files" screen.
    Has anyone else experianced this? I have searched the web and this board for this but it seems like I am the only one that has experinaced this situation. Does anyone know what could be causing the hang? I did purchase a new copy of windows 7 HP but it was a download so I had to create a bootable disk. I made two one from within Disk Utilities and one from within my virtual Windows environment.
    Any help or suggestions would be great!!

    You are correct, the SSD is in the normal HD drive bay and the storage HD is in the DVD drive bay. I wanted to install windows on my non-SSD drive since I only have a few gigs of space on that drive. I have read that for bootcamp to work to completeness the DVD drive must be in the correct bay and not by USB. But I also read that since the latest update bootcamp recognizes non-bay DVD drives like the ones attached via USB.
    I can get the installation to start, as I originally said. But it hangs on the "loading windows files" screen. This is my problem. I can get everything else to work, bootcamp makes a partition and all that.

  • Will internet recovery work on my mid 2010 MBP with yosemite and the firmare internet recovoery update designed for OS lion

    will internet recovery work on my mid 2010 MBP with yosemite and the firmare internet recovery update designed for OS lion

    Yes, it does. The point is can your computer use full Internet Recovery with the firmware update or not. If not then you have to begin with the Snow Leopard DVD that came with your computer and do an Erase and Install.
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    However, if you can use full Internet Recovery:
    Install Yosemite, Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.
