Using Bootcamp system image on Non-Mac PC

Hi Guys,
I'm in the process on moving my bootcamp system to a separate computer but it's not a mac system. I am wondering if there are things I should watch out for. Like what happens to apple related applications like icloud panel, bootcamp panel, itunes, apple drivers etc. Will those corrupt my windows?

Just back up your documents/important data and install Windows from scratch on your new machine. Doing a migration any other way opens you up to far more headaches.

  • Installing BootCamp Driver on a non mac computer for debugging purpose

    Hello, is it possible to install BootCamp Driver on a non mac computer in order to debug a software that is very slow on a Windows XP/BootCamp with MacBook Pro (I can't use the Mac computer for a long time, then I must test on my computer : a PC, not a Mac) : is it possible ? I tried to install Bootcamp 2.1 on a Windows XP SP2 on a PC, but the software quit after a while without any message.
    Thanks for help, Patrice.

    Hi Patrice and welcome to Discussions,
    I admit I never in 20+ years tried to do what you try to accomplish but I would assume that a Windows driver would only install if the appropriate hardware device is present.
    So, I don't think you can do this.

  • Hello, i own an i7 all in one mac. I tried to partition him using bootcamp but didn't have mac os cd neither mac instalation. the problem i am dealing now its that i cant go back to OS partition since its not appeared when i restart c and no win drivers

    I tried to partition him using bootcamp but didn't have mac os cd neither mac instalation. the problem i am dealing now its that i cant go back to OS partition since its not appeared when i restart c and no win drivers to have a properly running system. I've thought as an option to re-download boot-camp and run the instalation from windows partition and see if i can repair it that way, didnt try yet thought just in case anyone has a better prposition or dealed with the same problem

    Take it to your local Apple Store or AASP, it's covered by a 1 year hardware warranty. If you have AppleCare then give them a call but I'm pretty sure they will advise the same. If you have not purchased AppleCare yet please do, this will extend the warranty to 3 years however it MUST be purchased within the first  year of ownership. Let it go 366 days and you are out of luck. AppleCare will also include telephone support too.
    Good luck.

  • Using a System Image to Restore an HP Computer in Windows 8

    Hello everyone,
    I would like to bring to everyone's attention, the latest HP Help video for PSG.  It demonstrates how to use a System Image to restore an HP Computer in Windows 8.
    Learn how to restore your HP computer using a system image in Windows 8. With Windows 8, you can backup every file and setting on your computer at once and save it as a system image. If you ever have a software problem, you can restore your PC back to exactly as it was when you created the system image.

  • Windows 7 Backup - System image includes non system disk

    Hi,
    I am trying out windows 7 backup, hoping at last that I won't need a 3rd party backup solution.  So far so bad!
    My first problem is how ridicilously slow the backup is, but this has been discussed at length elsewhere.  My second problem is the backup stalls when I try to backup a folder which I know has got various bits of malware in.  I am an IT pro and use the files in this folder for testing purposes.  OK fair enough I guess, although I think the backup should handle this event a bit more elegantly.  So I've zipped and password protected the offending files to hide them from the AV (security essentials by the way)
    The final problem which I just can't understand is that when I try to create an image of my system drive, backup wants to add my D drive (which is purely a data drive) to the image.  My D drive is huge and I don't want to include it in a system image.  I keep my system drive lean and mean for exactly this purpose but now I can't back it up because the total size of C and D drives combined exceed the capacity of my backup drive.
    I know for a fact that the D drive has no consequence to the system boooting or operating, I have disconnected it and windows boots up just fine.  In computer management the D Drive is not showing up as a system drive, so why does windows think it is?  And why isn't there a power user mode wher I can choose exactly what I want in a system image, I understand you're trying to make windows easy to use for the average Joe, but this lack of functionality and in depth control feels more like a Mac than windows.... and I hate macs.
    So can anyone shed any light as to why my D drive is being flagged as a system disk, otherwise it's back to 3rd party solutions... AGAIN
    Thanks

    There is a solution.
    Microsoft usually have stuff that is not documented. For example Windows server 2008 comes with a command line utility that will allow the backup (in this case a shadow copy) of any drive you wish to a  backup target. The program is wbadmin.exe.
    According to some Microsoft sources it doesn't exists on Windows 7 but let me assure you that it does; I use it all the time, specifically to get round the problems you have described in your posts.
    I build VHD images and test them until I am happy with them and then I back them up as a system image and then rewrite them on to a system drive. I can only do this with wbadmin.exe
    To backup your c: to your d: (or what ever other drive you have space on in this case we will use d:)
     - Open a command prompt as Administrator
     - Run the following command:
    Wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:d: -include:c: -quiet
     - You should get output something like this:
    wbadmin 1.0 - Backup command-line tool
    (C) Copyright 2004 Microsoft Corp.
    Retrieving volume information...
    This will back up volume System(C:) to D:.
    The backup operation to D: is starting.
    Creating a shadow copy of the volumes specified for backup...
    Creating a backup of volume System(C:), copied (1%).
    Creating a backup of volume System(C:), copied (29%).
    Creating a backup of volume System(C:), copied (57%).
    Creating a backup of volume System(C:), copied (79%).
    Creating a backup of volume System(C:), copied (98%).
    The backup of volume System(C:) successfully completed.
    The backup operation successfully completed.
    Summary of the backup operation:
    The backup of volume System(C:) successfully completed.
    That should complete the backup. It should create a WindowsImageBackup folder in the dirve you backed up to.
    Restore as normal.
    There is one small but very important caveat: If you have any system files or programs that are linked to the system drive on your d: drive or elsewhere you may find that when you restore your system the links are broken. it should not happen if you
    have not made any changes before you restore but if you are like me who use the d: to store the bulk of the program files and just use the c: to store the system OS (on SSD... the need for speed! :) ) then you need to be careful... be warned!!
    That's all folks!

  • When HP Recovery isn't available... system image using Windows 8 as backup?

    Would like to start out with a big shout out to Paul T for his VERY useful thread here !    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/Windows-8-Product-Key-for-Pavilion-G6/m-p/3882966/highlight/false#M205987 A friend's family asked me to work on their laptop since I know more about computers than they do ... they're very good people, was happy to help them out but true to form like a lot of PC users they didn't bother keeping ANY of the documentation that came with the laptop (HP Pavilion g6-2298nr ), nor did they bother to burn recovery DVD's using HP's built in recovery software program that comes standard on the laptops... if I'm interpreting what HP's website had to say about the laptop , model HP Pavilion g6-2298nr, correctly, according to it's serial number it no longer qualifies for free tech support and I'd have to pay HP a fee just to talk to someone and order  the recovery DVD's  (friend's family bought it back in Dec 2014  so to me it seems REALLY strange that I wouldn't be able to just order the recovery DVD's without having to pay tech support a fee just to ask to order  the recover DVD's !  .. but anyways...)...  This is where having the product key "built into" the BIOS really comes in handy !   I crossed my fingers, used the method mentioned in the thread linked above, and it worked !    ... have to admit it was a bit strange at first not using the product key sticker like the old days but I can see how this works better in the long run - helps to prevent piracy, you don't have to worry if someone who doesn't realize the importance of the product key sticker peels it off and throws it away ... Unfortunately it looks like when you reinstall Windows this way you lose the HP Backup and Recovery Program     ... in this case my friend's family had the misfortune of paying someone to repair this laptop who didn't bother to tell them " Hey, I replaced the hard drive that's going bad but if you don't get a laptop cooler for this sucker the laptop's just going to overheat again ! " ... sure enough, the money they paid this so called "tech repair" person went down the drain when the laptop fried a second hard drive, or maybe the tech saddled them with a bad hard drive who knows? (the tech bought an OEM hard drive off ebay) ... ... sorry to sound harsh about this tech guy, I will admit I only worked in the PC repair field for a few months over a decade ago before leaving it to be a stay-at-home-dad (wife is a pharmacist so I'm lucky enough to be able to stay home) so my experience is VERY limited compared to other people .. but back then  I always treated my customers the way I'd treat a friend, and if it's a friend you offer advice on how to prevent problems like this in the future... this laptop gets HOT like you wouldn't believe , I have it sitting on a very reliable laptop cooler (thick slab of aluminum that does a great job as a heatsink with fans, this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834953038 and I've let my friend's family know in no uncertain terms they need to order this laptop cooler if they're going to use this laptop) ...  The hard drive  replacement I installed seems to be working fine but of course it's not an "official WD hard drive" .... when I tried to install the photolink cyberdirector software for example at the link below got  a " this isn't a WD hard drive so can't install this software" error message...  http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-pavilion-g6-2200-notebook-pc-series/5296082/model/5333338#Z7_3054ICK0K8UDA0AQC11TA930O2 which is fine I really don't think my friend's family will care about that program... but it makes me wonder, even if I trusted the download at this link below http://www.techspot.com/downloads/5190-hp-backup-and-recovery-manager.html if the HP Backup and Recovery manager program would even work to begin with since it's not an official WD hard drive (I also ordered an OEM hard  drive  off ebay    .. but not charging my friend's family for the hard drive since they've been good to my munchkins and didn't want them to pay through the nose for a more  expensive hard drive so of course I wanted to minimize my own expenses...)... also I think that sort of program relies on a " C " and " D " drive being set up like it was when the laptop shipped with the original hard drive and saves a backup copy on the " D " drive.. I suppose I could use disk management to create a different partition, label it " D " and see if HP Backup and Recovery worked but it seems a bit.. iffy... not to mention that I feel uncomfortable downloading something that isn't directly on HP's website as an "official" download...  I  know that Windows 8 has a "system image"  utility built into it that lets you make just that.. a system image.. like I said my friend's family are good people but I'm guessing sooner or later they're going to screw this laptop up again like a lot of computer users do .. it would be nice if I could burn a system image of what's on the laptop right now onto DVD and hang onto it so when they come back to me in the future hollering "Help , laptop isn't working again ! " I can just restore from the system image on DVD rather than having to go through the hassle of reinstalling Windows, graphics/audio/et cetera drivers, zillion and one Windows updates et cetera all over  again. What I'm wondering is... would this even work?    I've never tried to use system image in a situation like this with the product key being "built into" the BIOS , that sort of thing is brand new to me... is it worth burning the DVD's and hanging onto them just in case?  Sorry for the long essay and thanks in advance to anyone who actually takes the time to read all of this !    

    Thanks man it's really helpful to know that someone else has used this exact same method successfully to back up their HP computers !      Will do just that... yep, yep I know it'll be at least 10 DVD's or something crazy like that after all those windows updates download    ... problem with using an external hard drive is I can't convince my friend's family to buy one no matter how many times I warn them it's not "if" your PC gets messed up it's " when "    ..... and my external hard drives are all in use with system image backups of my own PC's ... so will burn the DVD's for 'em then just hang on to them and wait for the inevitable   And thanks for the kind words about my work for them too !    .. it's a lot of effort but they've been super nice to me so it's the least I can do  ... they're actually parents of one of my daughter's best friends and  they've taken my munchkin out to various places and flat out refused to let me pay them back for it so it feels good to be able to help them out this way... though I wish they'd come to me first instead of letting themselves get ripped off by the so called PC tech I mentioned earlier (would it have killed the guy to burn them a set of recovery DVD's?   Heck if he wanted to be selfish and greedy he could have just offered it to them for an "additional fee" but it would have saved them and me a lot of trouble !    Though I'm not sure if the recovery DVD's would cooperate given that it's not an "official HP hard drive" I put in there? ) It occured to me that if I call tech support they probably can't charge me if I don't give them a credit card number   .. so I did (1-888-698-3762).. they said the warranty on this laptop expired Dec 2013 !     Friend's family said they bought it in Dec 2014 from QVC, hope QVC didn't sell them a used laptop !   ... HP wanted over a hundred dollars for an "official" HP hard drive said no thanks to that... HP says despite me putting in a non-HP hard drive that recovery DVD's should work ... HP wanted  $     for recovery DVD's (tried to help me order recovery  DVD's off  HP website, they couldn't find the link on there to them either for some reason... maybe 'cause laptop is an older model??? ) ...  HP asked for thirty dollars (cheapest option!) for recovery DVD's ... but mentioned that if the laptop really was purchased Dec 2014 and if I e-mail them proof of purchase they'll ship out recovery DVD's for free instead since it would be within it's one year warranty period.. I'm waiting on the friend's family to give me the proof of purchase for me to scan and e-mail  to HP ... though I think I'm going to go ahead and use system image to burn the DVD's first THEN run the HP recovery DVD's (if they do in fact turn out ot be free) in case the HP rep made a mistake and the HP recovery DVD's don't like the "unofficial" HP hard drive on this laptop... 

  • System Image Utility not working on Intel Macs?

    I have a client who has the following problem:-
    We are still not able to create a Net Install image of a full system setup.
    Master Clone Mac - Intel iMac 17", 10.4.10, 40Gb partition 17Gb Used.
    System Image Utility v10.4.10 on Another Intel iMac, 10.4.10, over 100 Gb storage for image
    I get loads of errors and the final image is less than 2Gb when created.
    Have just managed to create a 10.4.4 image (system only). But this is far from what we need it to do. Any ideas?

    There is an inherent issue with creating images from 10.4.9 or later... see <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=929625&tstart=0>.
    But it sounds as if your client has bigger problems. More information about the errors reported will be needed to offer any real help.

  • Is Windows 8.1 system image backup an ISO image

    I ran out of space on my windows partition, so I created a system image backup of that partition (windows 8.1) and then removed the partition via bootcamp assistant. My intent was to reinstall a new, resized partition and use the system image backup file that I had created as the ISO image in the process. It doesn't seem to be that easy. There is not one ISO file in the system image backup that was created. Thoughts?
    Could I potentially just reinstall windows 8.1 then restore from that backup I created?

    Yes, you can reinstall W8.1 on a larger partition. Was the System Image Backup created using Windows Backup/Restore? Be aware that if you restore a Windows System Image, it restores the old volume size. You will need to use a Linux Live CD with GParted to resize the old volume to occupy the new partition size.

  • System Imaging Utility + Scripts to create a Netinstall

    I need everyone's help on this one!
    We have an Xserve G5 server that is running Leopard Server 10.5.2. What we want to be able to do is Netinstall Windows’s script to image a drive on a dual boot Mac Pro, meaning partition the drive for Mac and Windows. Currently Netinstall only supports Tiger dual boot it won't work on Leopard. I'm not sure when Bombich will be releasing this on his web site for Leopard. However, is there a script that will work with Windows using the System Imaging Utility that is in Leopard?
    Can someone please give me the steps to do?
    Thank you

    I know this is kinda old but netrestore has been updated so i think you should be set now

  • System Image Utility "Create" problem

    We have a new Xserve that we're finally going to be available to use for Open Directory/Net Boot/Net Install/etc in our coporate network. So, this is all new to me but I'm trying to make a Net Install image to export to the server.
    My G5 workstation (Mac OS X 10.4.6, but the imaged drive has 10.4.5) has two hard drives, one of which has our corporate image of software installed on it, "clean". The other hard drive is my own with lots of extra software and customization. I'm trying to use the System Image Utility (v. 10.4.4 (251)) to create an image. I am an administrator user on my computer. After configuring all the appropriate settings, I push the "Create" button and it appears to start working, prompts me for a location to save the actual image itself, creates a folder with the default name and then nothing happens. The spinning gear would seem to indicate that the System Image Utility is doing something, but the "Create" button continues to throb blue. I can click "Create" again and another folder is created when I'm promted to save the image and it continues to remain empty. All I can do is click "Cancel" and start over.
    I was quite frustrated until I logged into my computer as the local administrator user (this user is employed when we're configuring a workstation for the first time to give it the correct file sharing name and bind it to the Active Directory). Creating an image works just find while I'm logged in as the local administrator. (At least as far as creating/exporting the image, getting Net Boot to turn on the Xserve is proving a challenge.)
    So, is there something preventing network administrator users from creating images? I'd really rather have my own e-mail open and running as well as my own bookmarks while I'm working on a project like this, but it doesn't seem possible. Any tips would be appreciated.
    -Doug

    After configuring all the appropriate settings, I
    push the "Create" button and it appears to start
    working, prompts me for a location to save the actual
    image itself, creates a folder with the default name
    and then nothing happens.
    ok here's the deal: i created a folder in my OSX server home directory labelled "images" and keep our multiple images there. although you CAN have your images on other drives or on the network, that would take a LOOOOOOOONG time to do the data transfer to the invisible netboot folder on your server. my advice: keep local copies of all images. save a ton of time for yourself, eh?
    then, when it's time to use the system image suntility to load up an image, i go to that same location each time, call it up and have the app set to the prefs i want or need. i'm on 10.4.7 server and have had no problem using the software.
    so try using images locally and then, if that doesn't work, upgrade to 10.4.7

  • System Image - A665-S6094

    Hi.
    I have satellite A665-S6094 (US Version). I created system image and used it before.
    After that HDD broken and changed.
    But service installed windows7 Turkish version. But my original windows7 is US.
    Now when i want to use my system image, it doesnt work.
    But as i said before, i use my system image on my old hdd. So dvd has not error.
    What can i do now, how to load my system image to new hdd?

    Sorry, your image won't work even if they had installed usa version it would not work! cause when you create a image in the background it puts exclussive system rights codes to the image [ like a passcode ] and only the origanator windows can access the image! Microsoft done this on purpose to hold their rights, so users could not replicate to other systems!

  • System image backup error (0x80070021)

    I have attempted to use the system image backup tool so I do not have to re-install everything in the event of HDD failure.
    However, I receive an error (specified in title) that a process has locked a file, and it fails.
    I have already tried closing every background task I can, but to no avail.
    I am backing up to a LAN drive. (Seagate Central 3TB)  It is running the latest firmware.
    Thanks.

    Using process monitor
    FWIW what I was imagining might be possible is finding a file name which is causing the problem symptom.  E.g. find where in the trace the message that you see is being written and then use that for context to see what was occurring just before that.
    I mostly use ProcMon as a guide to my analysis of the existing diagnostics and, since I don't have access to the source or support documentation, as a supplement to their meaning.  E.g. to get a list of all the files which are being written to
    while your trace was running you can use the Count... tool.  E.g. first filter on Operation Is Write then use Count... to see how many unique Path values there are associated with it.  Once you have inferred where a particular message was written
    you can then turn off your filter and go back to see what other registry and file accesses might have contributed to it.  Otherwise it is easy to be overwhelmed by all the possible red herrings in a ProcMon trace.   <eg>
    I suspect that the two processes that you have found doing stuff are supposed to be doing those things.  However, since I was unfamiliar with them I had to do a web search for each.  The results of that would suggest looking in the Event log for
    clues.  So, if ProcMon shows your processes writing to the Event log, definitely have a look at them.
    Good luck

  • System Image Utility - Error

    I noticed when useing the System Image Utility to create a NetInstall set that the Percent listed in the log files goes from 87.2938 to -1. The process does continue working and eventually does complete, but the NetInstall set doesn't work. Has anyone else noticed this when using the System Image Utility? This is also when using it in custom mode and not quick easy mode.
