Unable Install Bootcamp 2.0 OS X 10.5 - Error "A system restart is pending"
We are using Bootcamp Beta 1.4 on a Macbook Pro with Windows Vista installed without any problems. We have succesfully upgraded to OS X 10.5 and tried to upgrade the Windows drivers. This fails with the message
"A system restart is pending. Complete the restart and then retry this installation."
Rebooting does not make any difference.
Starting the install process with logging enabled via
msiexec /i Bootcamp.msi /l*v c:\Bootcamp.log
does not give more clues (at least for us). An error code 1603 ("Fatal Installer Error" is generated.
I had the same problem with Vista Business 32bit. Fixed it by removing the data in PendingFileRenameOperations registry key:
1. Start -> execute "regedit"
2. Search through keys to find the string "PendingFileRenameOperations"
3. Double click on the registry key and remove everything that is in there
Then run cmd.exe from explorer as administrator (right click -> run as administrator) and manually start the msi from that commandline.
Apple has been on my sh*tlist for quite a while now, and things are getting worse. I had to buy Leopard just to obtain the current bootcamp drivers, after having spent a premium to purchase their hardware. Turns out the trackpad is still not properly supported in Windows.
I'm back to Thinkpads, even if it's Lenovo now. The quality is even better than MacBooks, they run windows natively and I don't have to deal with nonexistent customer support.

Unable to install BootCamp 3.1 on Windows 7
Hello, I have had a MacBook for a long time now, it is an IntelCore2Duo. I have recently installed Windows 7 and the CD with the drivers included with the laptop only works for XP. I downloaded BootCamp 3.1 which, in theory, works with Windows' new OS, but it asks me to install BootCamp 3.0 beforehand to update it to 3.1. The problem is that I haven't been able to find the 3.0 version anywhere. My question is: how can I update the drivers? I am only interested in the keyboard and mouse compatibility, the rest of the drivers are already installed by windows without a problem. And if I am forced to use BootCamp, where can I find the 3.0?
Thank you in advanceHi and welcome to Discussions,
the BootCamp Drivers 3.0 are on the OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard Install DVD.
Since your signature states "OSX 10.6.4" I assume that you have such one 'lying around'.
Just insert the DVD while in WIndows and the Driver setup should start automatically.
The 3.1 Driver download is indeed an update only and only works when the 3.0 Drivers are already installed.

When I try to install BootCamp, I get this weird message. I had bootcamp installed with Vista, but decided to remove it. Now when I can't seem to install BC. Any ideas??
error message -
The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved.Insert the Leopard installation disk in the optical drive. Boot from the Leopard CD. From the installation menu choose disk utility and repair your OSX disk. Restart computer and boot normally from the HD.
Run boot camp from Leopard and begin Boot Camp partition and Windows installation.
Your signature indicates that you may be using Tiger and not Leopard. Is that the case?

I have recently downloaded Bootcamp onto my MBP. However, when i try to expand it from "downloads" it says "Unable to expand BootCamp5.0.5033 into downloads. Error 2-no such file or directory. I have tried changing the partition and Zipeg. didnt work.
You need to read and follow the Boot Camp instructions. Boot Camp Assistant is already on your computer in the utilities forderf. You run Boot Camp Assistant. Part of the process is to to then download the Windows Support software. This download is then installed from within Windows.
There is no Boot Camp download that needs to be installed or unzipped from within OSx which you seem to be doing. -
How do I install bootcamp on the new drive that I installed with the dvd drive adapter
Hello, I have a macbook pro mid 2012 13 inch, I have just earned some money, enough to buy a SSD, and I happily went to the store and bought a samsung evo 840 120gb SSD. My plan was to clean install windows 8.1 on the SSD, I already had bootcamp on the 500GB HDD with windows 8 that came with the mac, so I backed up the important files from the windows partition. I deleted the partition, and restored it to the mac's partition (which I was going to partition again after the windows installation is complete for the storage for my windows partition) I made a installation usb with the iso I have made with bootcamp assistant, and waited. After that was done I restarted my computer holding the option key, then I booted into the EFI boot partition, and went through the process, entered the serial key, and agreed the thing, and then when I did the format it said it couldn't do it, so I took it out put it in an external hard-drive case, then I plugged it into my windows 8 laptop, then I opened command prompt, then I typed "diskpart", then after the administrator thing popped up, I clicked yes, then in the diskpart prompt, I typed in "list disk", and my SSD was disk 1, so I did "select disk 1" then I typed "clean" Then I went into the drive manager, then a thing popped up saying which one would I choose between MBR or GPT so I selected GPT, then made a new NTFS partition on the SSD, then took it out, then I popped it back in then went through the installation, until the actual installing part where after copying files is done, this pops up "Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code 0x8007045D" So I downloaded a torrent because I had thought that this was corrupted, and downloaded a torrent from a website, and downloaded the iso, and I tried and the same error, again and again of taking out the drive from my computer to format it and putting it back in again (since there was some files made on the SSD) so I had decided that I would download a windows 8 torrent, then I did then it couldn't even start, so I want to install windows 8.1 on my macbook pro, on a separate drive in the the DVD cage (not external, internal), would there be any way to do it, please help!

Install Bootcamp on Mac Mini late 2014 Yosemite Fails?
Trying to install bootcamp with Win 8.1 pro on a Mac Mini (Late 2014) under Yosemite and get to the screen on Win 8 side which says 'Where do you want to install Windows?' and I choose the "Drive 0 Partition 4: BOOTCAMP" and the next button never becomes enabled.
There is a message saying "Windows can't be installed on drive 0 partition 4" and an addition message box which says "Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. Windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS".
At this point I'm dead in the water -- cannot proceed.
Formatting the drive doesnt work and just screws up the whole process.
I've redone this quite a few times and end up in the same situation everytime.
I also tried with Win7 install I had but that failed completely and it never really proceeded after rebooting from Mac side.
Any ideas?
Is bootcamp busted on Yosemite? I dont easily have another machine I can try it on.
Is bootcamp busted on Mac Mini? Has anyone tried bootcamp on new late 2014 Mac Mini?
Thanks
JamesHi Steve
Its not a fusion drive. The full spec is
2.6GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5 (Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz)
16GB 1600MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM
1TB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
Intel Iris Graphics
I wanted the size of the drive large as I'm going to use it for just a small amount of Mac work and a very large amount of Windows work.
I did actually click format during a number of the attempts I've tried. It generally formatted and left me no better advanced. Generally it would removed the word BOOTCAMP from the drive. I've even tried deleting the partition and reestablishing in -- that doesnt help either.
My latest attempt has seen that the whole bootcamp partitioning structure is truly busted. When I go back to the Mac and enter bootcamp assistant it says I cannot do anything now and tells me the partitions cannot be changed. Now I'm really not in a great position.

How do I install Bootcamp on Windows 7.
I have just installed Windows 7 on my Mac Mini and now I want to switch back to the Mac OS. When I hold down Alt while booting up to change OS nothing happens.
The other option is to install Bootcamp to work with windows. It's already on my mac as I used it to install Windows 7. But there is no option to switch OS with Bootcamp as I can't find it on Windows 7. I've seen tutorials on how to install it with a disk but the Mac mini has no optical drive.
How do I install Bootcamp on Windows??At first I was under the impression i had accidentily deleted the MAC OS but thankfully I haven't. I did a system restore on Windows and when it restarted I held Alt and I could select my OS.
But I still don't have the shortcut to bootcamp showing in windows. How do you make a bootable USB for Bootcamp? -
Late in August 2011 I took delivery of a new 27" iMac with Lion preinstalled. I need to run Windows as well. Following Apple's written suggestion, I printed off the then current 12 pages of the document "Bootcamp Installation & Setup Guide" which clearly stated that the hard drive you were going to install on had to have on it, before install, a maximum of one partition. Using finder and disk utility I determined that there was only one partition. Unbeknownst to me, there was (is) an additional hidden (from those two pieces of software) partition on the disk. As of machines delivered new with Lion preinstalled, Apple has begun to include a "recovery partition". In that partition there is a copy of the software necessary to reinstall Lion via a download from the Apple App Store. Not knowing the partition was there, I cranked up "Bootcamp Assistant" which nicely offered to repartition my hard drive creating a "Bootcamp Partition" in addition to the existing. I told it how big to make each and hit the do it button, subsequently destroying my operating system. Oh, it very nicely told me, after the damage was done, how many partitions were REALLY on the disk and that I could not install Bootcamp cause there were too many partitions.
Luckily the the Recovery Partition, which at that point I knew existed, was not harmed and after doing some research on another compter, I used it to once again download Lion from the App Store and reinstall. So, I have recovered but am still stuck with the problem: how do I install Bootcamp in this new environment?First you need to seriously back up your Mac.
A clone is an exact duplicate of your existing Mac HDD. Merely copying and pasting a drive will not make a bootable backup. In case of problems you can boot from an Ext HDD clone and use the utilities to repair, reformat, or clone the Ext HDD back to the internal Mac HDD. While Time machine back ups are easy you can not boot from it. The best thing to have for any kind of problem is a bootable clone backup on an external drive. Some even have two external backup drives in case one fails. There are two good apps for cloning named SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner.
In dealing with the recovery partition a simple approach is to clone the Mac partition to an external disk then re-partition the Mac to a single partition (GUID partition table) . Then clone the external disk clone back to the Mac. You will now have only one Partition and Boot Camp assistant sould not object.
Some have recommended getting rid of the recovery partition while others have advised not to do this. If you have the Lion USB Thumb Drive you do not need a recovery partition so can discard it without concern. There is another way to get rid of the recovery partition if you decide to do it but first be sure to have a backup of your Mac ( I know I sound like a nagging mom but many dead computers have been saved by this simple precaution).
Use Disk Utility.
1) Make the Recovery visible in Disk Utility by using a program like Secrets:http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/27025/secrets or MacPilot:http://www.koingosw.com/products/macpilot.php (15 day free trial).
2) Highlite the Recovery partition and Control click it and select Mount the partition.
3) With the Recovery partition highlited, erase the partition, you'll get an error message, ignore it.
4) Now highlite the top identity of the hard drive and select the partition tab.
5) Highlite the Recovery partition and press the minus sign.
6) Click and hold on the bottom edge of the partition above and drag it to the bottom, if it doesn't go there automatically, the press apply. -
Problems after installing Bootcamp 3.1
Hello everyone.
I had installed Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate in a Bootcamp partition. I used the SL disk to install Bootcamp 3.0 which, with some audio related problems which were solved by changing the drivers, worked well. All sounds played, the graphics card behaved normally, etc.
Recently I got the alert of a Bootcamp update, 3.1, as we all know. After installing it without a hitch, small problems began to pop up.
First, no Windows startup sound played anymore, and there has been no way for me to make it work again. I've gone to countless forums and gone through an endless barrage of suggestions, including a complete formatting, but it always leads back to the same, isolated problem: Startup sound plays in BT 3.0, doesn't play anymore in BT 3.1.
But more importantly, after pretty much giving up with the startup sound issue (it's only that particular sound, in the login screen, so I decided to ignore it's absence), more problems appeared. Initially, all system tray icons appeared swiftly. Now the main ones, Sound, Wireless Connection and Battery appear fast, but the rest take at least 5 minutes to appear. This is again something that wasn't present in Bootcamp 3.0.
Yet another problem, this one I consider is the most important, and the real reason for this post of mine, is that Bootcamp 3.1 brought a serious driver problem with my Macbook Pro's 9400M video card. Doing the most stupid of tasks such as opening the video card's control panel from the Desktop gives me the following error:
"The NVIDIA Display Panel extension cannot be created.
Possible reasons include:
Version mismatch. Reinstalling the drivers may solve this problem."
Now, the Device Manager shows no errors in hardware-driver smoothness in any aspect, yet it's clear that the driver that BT 3.1 installs for the video card was either faulty or old, or for another OS. I went to NVIDIA's site to manually get the driver, but it turns out that they offer no NVIDIA GeForce 9400M drivers for Windows 7 64 bit. So I wonder, how come it worked before? Because in Bootcamp 3.0 the Control Panel would open flawlessly.
So this is serious. Gaming has also turned into a nightmare, since the problem with the video card negatively affects the smoothness of the gameplay. Apple, things weren't working 100% with BT 3.0, but BT 3.1 far from making things better just got everything worse.
I ask everyone here if there is a known solution. Should I install the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M drivers for Windows 7 32 bit? Why doesn't the driver installed by BT 3.1 function as it should when it's supposed to be covering Windows 7 compatibility? Why are the barrage of audio errors present in BT 3.1 and not in BT 3.0? What happened with my startup sound?
Apple, you're offering the possibility for your users to user Windows for compatibility and gaming. You market your Macs are fully compatible and flawless even running Windows. Don't come about saying this is not your problem, it is. It's your drivers, you develop them, you give them to us. If they don't work, you must do something about it. If not, then stop offering the Bootcamp service completely. If you're gonna do something, do it well.http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebookwinvista_win7_x64_195.62whql.html

10.9.2 install Bootcamp win7 64bit iMac mid 2010 no bootable device - external superdrive, USB Stick
Hey all,
big problem here.
Trying to install Bootcamp on my iMac 27" mid 2010.
The thing is, during the installation, i get the "no bootable device" black screen, and i think i know why... but i need help.
System, a mid 2010 imac, 2TB HD ( Original) and an SSD Samsung 1TB at the Optical Drive SATA connection.
2TB HD is empty atm. OSX Installed on the SSD.
Bootcamp Assistant. Problem nr. 1.
He first did not want to let me create an USB drive. after hacking the assistat, deleting the "Pre" thing in the info.plist, that worked so far.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5479879?start=105&tstart=0 and several other postings got me so far.
Then when using the assistant, after choosing partition and so, when the iMac restarts, i get the "no bootable device" notice.
Read a lot, and it seems, that older iMacs, that originaly came with an internal superdrive only can install win 7 from that internal superdrive.
I have the problem, that i had it removed to put the SSD there.
So, when doing an EFI Boot, choosing the win USB Stick or the Win in my External Superdrive, - "no bootable...."
So i searched more. rEFIt should help. Installed, and all, doesnt work, same thing. As soon as i want to boot Win from the CD or Thumpdrive, doesnt work. :-(
In one of the many posts, someone wrote something about starting Shell in rEFIt first, etc... didnt work as well.
then i found this post:
http://www.andrewsavory.com/blog/2011/2156
sounded promissing. Somehow getting win installation files onto the Created Bootcamp partion with Virtual Mashine. But it didnt work for me.
The VW Fusion ware is different, and non of the steps he discribes works.
So how can i get it working.. it seems like it is somehow blocked to access something from the USB Ports.
Logicaly i would have to get the installation files onto a Internal drive. i Tried to create a partition and copy the Win 7 USB Thump using Disk Util Progeam onto a seperate, internal partition.. but he just does not what to do that... errormessages when trying to copy it, recreate the drive, etc.
So, i do have a 2TB internal HD, which i can use, an external superdrive, USB.Sticks. any gameplan?
And for Error-excluding: i have an original Win 7 64 bit CD, a burnd one and controled the Hash of the loaded ISO, which i downloaded for the USB-Stick.
Any help? pls!!!Hi Sam, the Mini Optical may draw too much USB power.
Can you restore that .iso to the Flash Drive as a CD/DVD instead of an image file? -
Have uploaded and installed CC 2014. Several apps give this error when I try to start them: "Unable to launch Adobe InDesign as you do not have sufficient permissions to access the preferences folders"

The icon in the dock bounces once, and nothing happens.Windows or Mac, and exactly which operating system version?

Hi all,
I'm trying to install Bootcamp on my machine.
I was running Parallels before but need Bootcamp in order to run heavy software on the PC side (e.g. Rhino/Maxwell/etc).
I have a Macbook Pro 17" from around 2009, running Mountain Lion 10.7.3.
Problem is, my internal CD Drive is broken and doesn't read discs, so it couldn't read the Windows installation disc (Windows Home Premium 7 64 bit - OEM System Builder Pack).
So, I rang Apple to try to fix it and they said it would be cheaper and faster to buy an external SuperDrive.
I explained that I wanted it to install bootcamp and they said, fine.
However when I bought the SuperDrive, it turns out its only supposed to be working with new Macbook Pro with Retina display, and other machines that don't have internal cd drives.
At first it didnt work, but then I found a helpful website which enabled it to work on my machine.
So I went ahead and started installing Windows through the BootCamp Assistant.
It partitioned my hard drive - success!
But then it turned into black screen, with message saying "CDBOOT: Memory overfloor error"
Help please!!!
I suspect the problem is either:
a) Old Macbook Pro can't boot from the Windows disk
or
b) The Windows OEM version is somehow not designed to work with Mac. I bought it secondhand off a guy, thinking it was the full version, silly thing to do!
Your thoughts and help is seriously appreciated!
Tomorrow I'm going to the Apple Store and also to buy a brand new copy of Windows, I guess.This has been resolved. It turned out that in spite of the message at the end of installation - "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer restart the installation" Windows was installed successfully but the problem was the Bootcamp drivers, it could not read them(install them) from my original OSX Istall DVD and I thought that that the whole package was not installed successfully. I will copy the intructions here as well since this thread may attract lots of other people with similar problem who may think it was not a good installation. Here you go:
Ok, after 3 sleepness nights I have found a solution and finally have a working Windows 7 Ultimate. I hope this will be helpful for everyone having similar issues and not have to go through the same nightmare.
Right away after logging in Windows for the first time insert the original Snow Leopard Install DVD and if Windows does not read it or install any drivers after clicking on setup.exe do the following:
Right-click on Start » Programs » Accessories » Command Prompt
Select Run as Administrator
Type cd /d D:, then press Enter
Type cd Boot Camp\Drivers\Apple, then press Enter
Type BootCamp64.msi, then press Enter
If you do not how to right click before installing the drivers the following:
Click on Start
Enter cmd in the search box
Instead of hitting the Enter key use Ctrl + Shift + Enter and will open a dialog box
Click Yes at the prompt and you will be running as an administrator.
If you do not have the original install DVD go the this link and follow the instructions(including the ones from the last comment):

Removing and re-installing bootcamp...damage hard drive?
Hi.
A few days after I got my Macbook, I installed Bootcamp and Windows XP Home on it. After realizing i didn't have much use for it, at the time, I removed the partition using the Bootcamp assistant. I recently re-installed Bootcamp on my Macbook, to try out some of the features again. Today I installed a program called VMware Fusion Beta, which is a virtual machine similar to Parallels. I figured, "Hey, it's free, it uses the already installed Bootcamp partition, what do I have to lose?" Well, it turns out that the VMware Fusion removed the Bootcamp partition itself, and moved it to it's system files, so now I can no longer boot with Windows XP.
The icing on the cake is that my product key for Windows XP came with another computer I had purchased, and much to my amazment, it worked when I installed through Bootcamp. Beacuse VMware Fusion allocates a certain amount of RAM, Windows is detecting a major hardware change and requesting that I reinstall. However, my product key no longer works, as Windows is saying that my product key has been used too many times already.
My question is this: If I were to uninstall VMware Fusion and re-partition my hard drive with Bootcamp, will my product key likely work again?
But moreso: Does repeatedly partitioning your hard drive and erasing and repartitioning do any serious long-term damage to the drive? I know with Windows that would create fragments, but I have heard that fragmentation is a non-issue with Macs.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks very much in advance,
Jason"But moreso: Does repeatedly partitioning your hard drive and erasing and repartitioning do any serious long-term damage to the drive? I know with Windows that would create fragments, but I have heard that fragmentation is a non-issue with Macs."
Actually... erasing and repartitioning your hard drive (with Windows or otherwise) gets rid of any fragmentation you may have. Fragmentation is a result of the way the filesystem on the computer works. I won't go in to much detail... but for various reasons, bits and pieces of files can end up being spread all over your hard drive. When this happens, in order to read those files, your hard drive head has to skip all around to pick up the little bits instead of having them in one nice place. All that extra jumping around can add up to lots of time on a very fragmented drive. The more deleting and writing of files you do, you more fragmentation you get. So, in effect, when you partition a drive you are wiping all of the data and starting fresh. Partitioning your drive and erasing and repartitioning is basically just writing data to your drive. In fact, if you do a quick format in Windows, it doesn't even do all that much writing... it just tells the system that the data in that space can be overwritten. So... to cut an already long story short, you won't hurt your drive. You're only having it do what it will literally do billions of times in it's lifetime... just read and write. -
If I install Bootcamp will I lose apps I already have installed on my computer?
I've been using my mbkpro for over a year now, so if the process of trying to setup Bootcamp at this point means my drive gets wiped, it would take me forever to reinstall all my apps and files from scratch.
So my query is:
1. Can I install Bootcamp WITHOUT needing to reinstall 3rd party software and everything in my Home folder, and my OSX and iLife software?
2. If that is not possible, can the reinstalling be "softened" by "just" copying everything over from a bootable external hard drive back up?
3. If a bootable backup would work, will it also work for my 3rd party apps (eg: Adobe apps, camera software) not only photos and saved text files, or OSX?
4. And what is the best way for me to go about making a Bootable back up onto an external HD? I currently use Time Machine - would this work, or would I need something like Carbon Copy Cloner?
Leading from that 1 further thing:
If i were to install Windows, I need a min of Windows XP SP3 or higher for one of the things that i want to use it for (a game.) When I searched thro the discussions I found some threads that mentioned that you would need to install a copy of SP1 before even upgrading to SP2... is this true? I never use PC's and know very little about them or their OS...
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!Ro Hui wrote:
Thanks for replying, this sounds really useful.. I always thought when I partitioned a drive it erased anything I had on it already ( it's been a few years since I last did this so can't remember really ...)
Partitioning doesn't delete anything from the hard disk. It just uses free space of one partition to create a new partition.
Ro Hui wrote:
- when i partition my HD (internal) the process of partitoning will NOT wipe anything that's already there?
You don't lose anything. However, you must be careful during Windows installation, because you have to format "BOOTCAMP" volume (if you are going to install Vista or 7), and you have to install Windows on that partition. If you don't do it, you will lose your files.
