  • Having problems installing Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro w/Boot Camp

    Having a problem installing Windows 7 Home Premium (64-Bit) on my Macbook Pro (mid-2010) 13". I use the Boot Camp Assistant, download the necessary drivers and burn them to a disc. I insert my legit Windows 7 install disc, and the process begins but once I get to 'Completing installation', my mac freezes and I have to restart it and delete the partition. This has happened twice. I have contacted Apple and Microsoft and neither of them said that they could help me with the problem so if someone has had a similar issue and found a solution to it, I would really appreciate the help.

    Hi S,
    You may want to post in the Boot Camp forum where more of those experts hang out:  https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

  • Installing windows 7 and one other questions about boot camp

    I have a 20 inch iMac with Mac OS 10.5.7 and all updates. I am thinking about upgrading from vista on boot camp to Windows 7. I know what to do but i wanted to hear some personal experiences from other people. Also, a long tome ago, I tried to install Windows XP but realized half way through that I did not have a product key. It turns out I did not need one, but I tried to cancel the installation process and all I would get was "Press any key to restart" and I would be sent back to the beginnign of the installation. I was trapped in a loop. For future reference, how do u "escape" this loop? Thanks

    You 'escape' by not killing it. And most people have to redo their entire install to get things working properly.

  • How do install windows hard drive (from dead pc) into boot camp partition

    My Windows 7 desktop died recently, so I took the opportunity to buy a Mac Mini (latest version as of Feb 2012) as a replacement.  I want to transfer  the Windows 7 installation (from the dead PC) including all applications, accounts, settings, user files, etc to the Boot Camp Partition.   Can someone please provide the steps on how to perform the Win 7 migration to the Mac Mini. 

    Just to clarify:
    I want to install the Windows 7 installation from dead the PC into the Mac Mini's Boot Camp partition.
    I installed the PC's hard drive into an enclosure and connected it to the Mac Mini via the USB port.
    What I want to do is the following:
    1) Do a Windows 7 "fresh" install in the Mac Mini Boot Camp partition.
    2) Migrate all the applications installed on the  Windows 7 PC and their associated data.
    3) Migrate all user accounts and data.
    Is there a tool that can transfer all applications and user accounts from the Windows 7 Hard Drive to the Boot Camp partition on the Mini?
    Based on the documentation the Window Migration tool is Lion OS utility and does not perform a complete migration of all applications installed on the Windows machine.
    thank you.

  • Unable to install Windows 7 because of missing drivers using Boot Camp

    I tried this question in the lap-top section, but nobody could help.
    I have an MB Pro with 13" Retina, late 2013, 250 GB SS-disk, 8 GB RAM.
    I need a partition with Windows 7 Professional, and I have an ISO with Norwegian Windows 7, service pack 1 (64 bit).
    I run the BootCamp assistant to partition my HDD and to generate the USB-disk with Windows and the necessary drivers.
    When i try to install Windows the installer asks for a driver for the DVD-drive. I get a message that it cannot find a driver file and tells me to provide one. There is no DVD so that is correct. There is no way I can skip this part, and I must stop the intallation. I have not been able to trace down any dummy-drivers.
    I have also tried to do this procedure with a USB-Superdrive attatched, but that did not help.
    My problem is that I am not able to complete the Windows 7 installation. I must break it as it wil not continue until I provide the correct DVD-drivers.

    Hello everyone,
    As the struggle was real, I thought I would also participate in this thread and share my testimonial with you.
    For more than a week, I had been attempting to set up Windows 7 x64 on my mid-2014 MacBook Air 13", but to no avail. I was so sick of witnessing the infamous black screen, "no bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key", or the "select your language" window in the Windows 7 PE with no keyboard nor mouse alive, that I had almost given up on it all.
    But that was before I came across the present thread. I diligently applied your procedure and IT WORKED LIKE MAGIC
    My specs:
    - Mid-2014 MacBook Air 13" with pre-installed Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks)
    - Windows 7 x64 Home Premium ISO file
    - The most basic USB 2.0 flashdrive one can get
    - (Note: I did not have rEFIt installed)
    You must be some kind of wizard. I signed up just to upvote this, no kidding!
    I sincerely wish this post gets the visibility it deserves.
    Thank you so much!
    Cheers,

  • [HELP] Installing Windows 7 on MBP by USB using Boot Camp

    Hello!
    Im using boot camp to try to Install windows 7 on my MBP. The problem is my cd/dvd driver is broken and I cant use DVD to boot from. I tryed to install by USB but when Im about to restart and boot try to boot the windows that I installed on the USB it says: 'No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key'
    I have read that Apple changed in boot camp that if you have a DVD you cant use USB function to boot from in USB. I have fixed this problem by using this method from a video in youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_587318&feature=iv&src_vid= I3MNnbtfyzs&v=KmHxkahbK-g
    But after I changed this I stil get problem when I boot that my laptop dont recognize the USB.
    I need a help to solve this problem. Im using a MacBook Pro 13 (late 2011) OS X 10.8.5

    I dont have the opportunities to repair my internal optical drive. Im looking for other solutions for this problem, there I can install the windows without the optical drive.

  • How do I Install Windows XP on my MacBook w/o Boot Camp?

    I just purchased a new MacBook right before Leopard came out. I guess I missed the window to download Boot Camp Beta to install Windows XP because it has now expired. I am a bit ticked off that I didn't get Leopard with my laptop purchase already since it came out within days after I made my purchase. Is there a way to install XP without Boot Camp?

    "...Is there a way to install XP without Boot Camp?..."
    There is (use Google) but trust me - by the time you are finished, you'll wish you could just buy Leopard and get those 2 or 3 days of your life back....!
    Bootcamp is soooo nice to use because it partitions so easily and it offers special drivers that you will need for Mac keyboards and such. Drivers can be searched for online and found which KINDA do the job, but not as well.
    If you are really in need, you can find an old Bootcamp 1.3 version on the 'net. It is saved to some software download mirror site (again - use Google). You possibly are taking chances with those saved downloads because they MIGHT be tampered with. Also 1.3 is out-of-date. The out-of-date problem can be fixed by temporarily setting your Mac clock back a few months. If you have decent skills and computer experience it might be worth the gamble. If not - get a job! With a decent hourly wage you can just purchase Leopard from Mother Mac in no time!

  • What is the best way to install windows 8 on MacBookPro Mtn Lion(VM, boot camp...) to maximize hardware & features

    Has anyone installed Windows 8 on MacBook Pro? Is it best to use Boot Camp or virtual software in order to maximize the Mac trackpad usage in Windows 8 (for a better "touch screen type" experience)? Will virtual software suck the power out of the MacBook if I need to use it for intense picture image editing and because of this should I stick to boot Camp even if it does not allow me to use the multi uses of the trackpad?

    Apple's bootcamp doesn't support Windows 8 at this time only Windows 7
    You can run Win 8 (or almost anything really) in a virtual machine, free Virtualbox

  • I have a Mac Book Pro A1226 and I want to install Windows 7 Ultimate. I have boot camp 3.0, I have a Mac Book Pro A1226 and I want to install Windows 7 Ultimate. I have boot camp 3.0

    Please help.  I have a Mac Book Pro ( late 2007- A1226)  that I want to install Windows 7 ultimate on.  I have boot camp 3.0 and I can set up the partition but when i click start installation, I get a black screen ( for a few seconds) then it goes to a grey window, which alternates between flashing the apple symbol and a circle with line through it.  It will do this for however long I let it go for.
    Would it be better for me to buy parallels software than keep persisting with this avenue.

    First, make sure you ONLY have the wired Apple Keyboard and wired mouse connected.
    You should have BootCamp Asst. 3.3 or 3.4 now I believe is the latest version.
    Do you have the W7 disk or ISO download version?
    When does the flashing start, after Windows 7 sets the NTFS formating and you click to install?

  • Installing Windows 7 using Boot Camp Assistant

    I want to install Windows 7, but my iMac came with Boot Camp 3.0.1. Apple says that I need to update my Boot Camp to 3.1. But when I go to the appropriate support site and download the 3.1 32-bit version, I get a message stating: You have chosen to open BootCamp3.132-bit.exe. Is this the right file? It has an .exe extension and my web browser's download utility (Firefox) doesn't know what to do with this file. Am I doing something wrong?

    Hi,
    I got my first Mac a few weeks ago and I feel into this problem. What you need to do is from your Mac launch Boot Camp Assistant and install Windows 7 (I recommend Windows 7 64bit version) as per the normal Boot Camp process.
    Once you have Windows 7 installed, boot into Windows and then download the latest the Boot Camp Assistant update for Windows i.e. the .exe file you downloaded before, and install on Window 7. Make sure you get the right version as there is a 32bit and 64bit version.
    I short the .exe is only to be installed on your Windows partition and is nothing to do with Boot Camp on your Mac.
    FYI - if like me you find that after a while you have made your Windows partition to big and want to repartition to give some space back to your mac check this Website out - it works a treat, but always remember to backup any data before hand JIC http://www.twocanoes.com/winclone/
