Upgrade Win XP Bootcamp partition to Win7?
I read the docs that says you cannot upgrade XP directly to Win 7 as it requires a 'clean install' from an external CD.
I have someone on ebay who purports to be selling me an upgrade CD that will do this
"The Win7 upgrade I'm selling will allow you to "upgrade" Windows XP by doing a clean install only. In-place upgrades are disabled unless upgrading from Vista Business. When running the upgrade DVD setup (either directly from Windows XP or by booting from the burned upgrade DVD), the setup will search for a previous installation of Windows. It will find XP and then allow you to perform a "clean" install so you will want to backup all of your personal files from Windows XP "
Does this sound right? My XP partition runs under Bootcamp and Parallels 6 seamlessly (just a bit slow and stilted though), and I wanted to try and get a modern 64bit OS so that it can use more than the 3G RAM that XP 32 allows.
1) Is it worth it? Will my windows environment see any signifacant performane increases? I have an 8G Ram 2007 i7 iMac and even under BootCamp, XP only sees 3G Ram.
2) IS it possible to do it as described above? IE boot from the external Win7 ISO CD, then 'upgrade' by detecting XP, re-formatting the partition and installing Win 7 (followed by using Snow Leopard CD to re-install BootCamp drivers.
3) Will this totally bugger up my Parallels installation? (Ie, can I just re-install parallels or when it runs, will it automatically upgrade. It will point to the same partition as the virtual machine - but that partition will have new software running on it.
- I am unsure if this is worth purchasing, or am I looking at screwing a pokey but functional install of Windows XP?

This is a clean install, no different from any other install of 7 over XP, you will need to backup all data and reinstall all applications.

Unable to boot up/into (win7) bootcamp partition following Mountain Lion upgrade
Greetings to all, I hope somebody could please help me with this issue;
A few days ago I upgraded to mountain lion, and immediately after the upgrade was completed and the system rebooted, I discovered that a new partition (Recovery-10.8) had suddenly come into existence in place of my bootcamp partition upon holding alt on boot. My bootcamp partition does show up now after re-syncing boot tables in rEFIt, though all that happens while booting up is a missing operating system error. I tried the win7 boot dvd, but it does not and did not see the partition; but very strangely, it referred to my computer as %1, and my account name in OS X is simply “1”. This leads me to believe that my bootcamp partition got knocked back a spot due to the introduction of that pesky new partition, a problem all too similar to many others’ pleas for help, though too individually complex for a simple copy and paste type of a solution~ and for a lowly user like me to tackle.
Please do help me good sirs,
Regards,
Royce
P.s. bootcamp partition never showed on startup disk
P.p.s. in disk utility it cannot be mounted, is referred to as disk0s4, and is greyed outI see two things. First, notice this fourth line from your GPT. It says ~73GB of disk space is not allocated to any partition, it's free space. Why?

The good news is that partition 4 for Windows in the GPT and MBR have the same start - end sectors. However in the MBR no partition is marked bootable. One must be bootable and it's customary for Apple to mark the Windows partition bootable. I strongly suspect this is why Windows is not a boot option, and it's rather easy to fix.

My suggestion is that you reclaim the missing free space before you proceed with MBR repair, but missing ~73GB of space isn't hurting anything. Try the following and report back:
diskutil list /dev/disk0
diskutil resizevolume /dev/disk0 limits
Again both are read-only commands and do not alter the disk information in any way. -
I currently have a Bootcamp partition (30 Gb or so) running XP pro. I want to switch to Win 7, which I understand requires a clean install since there is no upgrade path from XP directly to Win7. While doing so I want to increase the size of my BC partition. (I'm offloading iTunes and iPhoto to external drives and freeing up 60+ Gb so I can make a bigger partition)
Do I just run Bootcamp Assistant and do the deed as if I were starting from scratch, but specify a larger partition?
The full scenario is that I have an HP laptop running Win7, and XP pro in Bootcamp. I want to swap them. Any advice on the process? Activate/Deactivate/Reactivate dance. I realize this is a Windows question, but someone may have done this before.
Thanks for any help.contrary to kappy, you can buy and use CampTune to resize.
you can't use a HP install on Mac.
you need a retail Win7 to activate on a different motherboard.
Start from scratch. Anything else is likely to have problems. -
I'm installing windows 7 64-bit on my imac which I've done before but I get a message that the partition is GPT even after I format the bootcamp partition. I just upgraded my hard drive to a 3tb and I'm allocating 1tb for windows. How can I fix this?
No easy fix for a few reasons:
1) Bootcamp requires a hybrid MBR for the partition table. That is: both an MBR and a GPT partition table at the same time with the GPT one having all partitions and the MBR one having only the ones that are relevant, but at most 4 of them (including the protective partition and the Macintosh HD one). Which leads us to:
2) The MBR part of the hybrid partition table cannot work with 3TB hard drives. MBR is limited to 2TB.
I am working on a small EFI app that can boot Windows in EFI mode on a Mac and that would mean that you can go GPT only on your system. The progress of the app is slow due to the nature of EFI and for now requires that you do an unattended Windows install with slipstreamed graphics drivers, but we are adding VGA loading on top of EFI quite soon after the rest of the app stabilises. The status of the app is documented at:
Win7 x64 booting natively via EFI (no bios emulation)
Windows does actually successfully boot in EFI mode on most Macs (anything with a 64bit EFI should work), but does not have graphics support even if you load the driver due to the VGA pci registers not being set by the firmware. Furthermore, in Setup and Safe Mode, Windows uses VGA instead of GOP which is a failure by design since VGA is a BIOS standard and not really compatible without hacks with EFI. Other EFI implementations also add VGA compatibility at a high cost to the firmware complexity for the VGA cards available on the market that don't actually contain anything in their ROM except the VGA BIOS.
My recomendations:
1) Install on a second smaller hard-drive; or
2) Wait for the EFI app to come out officially and use that to boot Windows Vista SP1 x64 and Windows 7 x64 (RTM and SP1) in the native EFI mode.
3) Wait for Windows 8 which supports VGA-less booting acording to the AMD presentation at UEFI Plugfest. -
Bootcamp upgrade Win 7 Pro 64 to Win 8 fails
I'm trying to upgrade Win 7 to Win 8. Install goes to 90% then message -"your computer will reboot in a few moments" then a few minutes later message
"install failed" and it rolls back to Win7.
This is on an early 2012 17" Macbook Pro I7 2.4 running Win 7 Pro 64. I installed the new bootcamp drivers, tried disabling all unnecessary devices-audio/lan/bluetooth etc,, tried clean boot, disabled video card all with the same result.
I ran the System Update Readiness Tool and retried the install with the same result.
Tried install from desktop and DVD
Hope someone can help-thanksHappened to me, too.
I realized that on my Windows 7, "bcdedit /export" resulted in the same error ("The handle is invalid." == ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE == 0x00000006). Apparently the problem is not in Windows 8 but in the running Windows 7.
So I followed the procedure here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392/en-us which is renaming the old BCD and peforming "bootrec /RebuildBcd". (Note: Without renaming the original BCD, "/RebuildBcd" did nothing effective.)
After that, "bcdedit /export" started to work. Upgrading to Windows 8 also went through.
Thanks Bolean for the hint. -
Will i lose my bootcamp partition on snow leopard if upgrading to maverick
Hello, I have bootcamp with Windows 7 on Snow Leopard. Will I lose the bootcamp partition if I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Maverick?
Hello everybody, I upgrade my macbook air minutes ago. The bootcamp partition is not accessible anymore When i hit the alt key on boot, the win start icon does not show. I disk utilities i see the partition as disk0s4. I think this is, because i resized the partition of mac and windows some time ago. Now it seems, that the maverick update didn't get that. Here is the partition view. Is there someone who might help me to fix this? Maybe with some terminal ****

Will upgrading to lion/mountain lion erase bootcamp partition?
I am thinkng about upgrading to Lion/mountan lion, but was wondering if it will delete my bootcamp windows partition. I have to use windows for some work taht I do, and would rather not have to spend the few hours to repartition and upgrade my copy of XP

If you're already running Windows 7, upgrading it to Win 7 Pro allows you to install XP Mode which is XP Pro running inside of Win 7 Pro. Depending on your Mac, XP Mode can run surprisingly fast. I'm doing that in Fusion. I don't know if Win 7 Pro in Boot Camp will equally support XP Mode, but since Microsoft takes care of the support for XP Mode, I doubt it would be a problem. -
Upgrading MacBook Pro 13" (mid-2010) HDD with Bootcamp Partition
I'm upgrading my macbook pro's hdd from 250 gb to 1tb. My OS is lion 10.7.5 and i also have windows 7 installed on my bootcamp partition.
The following are the details to the HDD i plan to buy.

I need your advice on if i m buying the correct hard disk. If not please advice me one.
And please also tell me how i should upgrade my hard disk. I know how to physically install the drive but i ask of you to tell me how to clone my current hard disk with my bootcamp partition. Which software to use, precautions to take etc.
MacBookPro 13" (Mid-2010)
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) and Windows 7 Ultimate on bootcampThose are the correct RAM modules for you model (the 13" being the only mid-2010 model that can use 16GB of RAM - but those modules will surely get you to 8GB!).
Am I right in assuming that you want to purchase a SSD to be installed in your boot bay and that you want to install the Samsung drive in the optical bay? Unfortunately, your link points to a rather sparse description of the drive - I see the 2.5" but I don't see the depth (which should be 7-9.5mm and not a mm more).
I'm just unclear about whether you're looking for a new spinning drive as well as a SSD and whether or not the drive will fit (just a minute - OK, found some more info - the Samsung drive is 9.5mm so it should sit just fine in your machine: do you still want a SSD?).
Note that the 2TB Samsung probably won't speed things up much - it's a 5400rpm drive: if you could use a 1TB drive, you could get a faster, 7200rpm drive.

On both Mini Mac and iMac 27" I am no longer able to utalize the Startup Disk icon in System Preferences; the Windows 8 on Bootcamp partition works fine if I close the Mavericks OX and select the Windows partition at bootup from the hard drive. My question is why don't the icon in System Prederences work anymore since I upgraded to Mavericks. Also, Users & Groups, Printers & Scanners icons no longer work either.

After upgrading from win 7 - win 8, do I really need the win 7 recovery partition?
Hello.
I'm a happy camper after upgrading my HP Spectre XT from win 7 to win 8 (Win 8 upgrade offer). The 128GB SSD disks just makes everything so smooth and fast.
However I am abit annoyed with the Win 7 recovery partition that still uses 20 GB of my total 128GB space.
I have tried searching the forums, as well as the www for any good answers, but I end up more confused.
So I am asking the community some questions that interests me, and hopefully you can provide me with some meaningsful answers
1. Can I now delete my win 7 recovery partition, and if so what is the most effiecient and safe way to do it?
2. Is there a a good way to make sure that if (heaven forbid) something would happen, I still would be able to recover my notebook preferably to win 8, and not the preinstalled OEM win 7?
3. Of course the Spectre XT has no optical drive, so if its doable I might need to make an win 8 recovery partition in the end. Is it possible?You can use Windows builtin Disk Management to delete the partition, or EaseUS software. Both procedures are outlined at EaseUS site:
http://www.partition-tool.com/resource/windows-8-partition-manager/delete-windows-8-partition.htm
As for a Recovery option after deleting, look at System Imaging which is builtin Windows 8 also.You need an external USB hdd for this.

How do I ensure bootcamp partition works after upgrading snow leopard to mountain lion
I am very apprehensive about upgrading to Mountain Lion due to performance concerns and the debacle with the new Auto Save feature which seems like a very poor and confusing solution to a problem that didn't really exist. I am only considering the upgrade, so that I can get the latest version of Xcode - 4.3; for some reason, 4.2 for SL is no longer available and my current 4.0 version is no longer supported, so I feel forced to upgrade to ML. Also, I have a bootcamp partition that I need to be able to use without issues after having upgraded to ML. So the essence of my question is this: what steps do I need to take prior to upgrading to ML to ensure that my Bootcamp partition is left intact and bootable. I have already created a compressed backup disk image and stored on a separate external hard disk for precautionary reasons. Is there anything else I should know beore going ahead with the upgrade?
Thanks.Auto Save is actually a very useful feature. If you are typing a paper in Pages and you haven't saved in a long time, and then your battery dies suddenly, your paper is saved. Before Auto Save, you would have lost all your progress.
Your BootCamp partition will not even be touched during the install of Mountain Lion. As long as you make sure to select your Mac OS partition during setup, nothing will happen to your Windows side and everything will still work fine. -
What does upgrading to Mavericks due to my BootCamp partition?
I'm still running my OSX 10.6 that was upgraded to 10.8, but i haven't downloaded and installed 10.9 yet. If I install Mavericks, will that make any changes to BootCamp or should that still function the same after the upgrade? Right now my laptop boots to the Windows partition by default. Do i have to upgrade bootcamp after?
From what has happened to me and it seems quite a few people is that your windows/bootcamp drive will either just not allow you to boot to it. Or at worst you wont even be able to see it as an option when you hold down "alt" at startup.
In other words, Maverick really screws with the bootcamp partition. -
Bootcamp partition issue after Yosemite upgrade
I've installed bootcamp on my mac. Later on I needed more space on my bootcamp partition and used some method to shrink the mac partition and increase the bootcamp partition. This method worked fine until I did a Yosemite upgrade today. Now I see that my bootcamp partition is gone and has reverted to it's original size. Below is a screenshot of disk utility and outputs of the commands wanted. I need help in recovering my bootcamp partition. Thank you very much.

Will upgrading from OSX Snow Lepoard to OSX Yosemite remove my Windows Bootcamp Partition?
Hello guys, so i have a question.
I am currently running OSX Snow Leopard, and i want to upgrade to OSX Yosemite, but i'm scared that upgrading to Yosemite will erase my Bootcamp partition.
so, Will upgrading to Yosemite kill the partition? or will it save it, so that after Yosemite is installed, i can still dual boot into Windows 7?
Thanks
!Mister_MehAlso backup your OS X volume.
Windows has built-in backup software. You could also try WinClone X. -

Have you used any tools to resize your Windows partition at any time prior to the Yosemite upgrade?
Here is a reference thread that you can follow - Missing Bootcamp Partition (with pastes!).
You are in Testdisk Quick Search, you will need to run Deeper Search to find your lost 'NTFS' partition.
