When installing boot camp, you choose how to divide the computer's disk space between the apple and microsoft parts of the computer. How can I go back to that and edit how I want the disk space to be divided?

I just want to add more space to windows and i dont know how any help?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Use Paragon Camptune X. However, make a backup before using this app because you can lose data if the partitioning doesn't finish properly

  • I am trying to install Boot Camp but it says I haven't got enough free space to make a partition, however in disk utility it says I have 27GB free!

    I am trying to install Boot Camp but it says I haven't got enough free space on my start up disk - that I need at least 10GB free space - however in disk utility it says I have 27GB free!

    if your SSD is only 60 GBs, then you don't have space on which to install Windows. That 27 GBs is space you need to have for adding files you create, music you download, added applications, pictures, etc. You need to maintain at least 10 GBs as free space for OS X, plus you need space for files OS X will create and add to over time.
    Your 60 GB SSD is just a minimum usable size for OS X. There isn't sufficient space to also support Windows which requires close to 25 GBs of the 27 GBs you still have free. Sorry, but that just doesn't really work well.

  • Cannot boot from XP CD when installing Boot Camp

    I've tried several times to install XP with SP2 on my Mac Pro. I was successful installing Boot Camp with OS X 10.4. I did a clean install of OX 10.5.
    My Mac will not boot from the XP CD once I'm told to re-boot while installing Boot Camp. I've tried holding the "C" key to force it to boot. It still will not boot. I can only get back into Max OS X by holding the "Option" key during boot up.
    I have verified my XP disk and all looks good.
    Has anyone else seen this and is there are work around?
    Thanks!
    Rick

    Hi
    It seems the drive cannot boot up from the CD recovery and switch to the LAN boot.
    The PXE-E61 error message appears because the LAN cable was not connected and the notebook is not able to find a network boot source
    I think you should check the recovery CD and maybe you will need a new one

  • I installed Boot Camp on Windows 7 PC (No Mac computer!)

    I was trying to install drivers in order to use a Magic TrackPad that I got.  I read somewhere that I had to use/install Boot Camp on my PC.  Well, I did so... however, I have no Mac... it's a 100% Windows 7 PC.  So, I was able to install Boot Camp 3.0 and 3.1 (I think!)  When I try to boot my machine, it will NOT boot anymore.  What can I do? Could someone please help me? I noticed that the name of my main C: drive changed to "BootCamp"... it did this automatically.  I tried to fix the MBR via the Windows 7 Installation DVD, but no success. :-(  Someone, please help!
    Thank you!
    Minime is not evil anymore!

    No, I cannot do a system restore as there is/was not any system restore point.  I do not care about the drivers for the Magic Trackpad anymore... I just want to get my PC back to the way it used to be... in other words, I'd like to have it boot again. I am able to 'see' the contents of the Hard Drive by means of the Windows 7 DVD; have tried to fix the MBR by doing bootsect /fixmbr and other commands, but still no success.
    Is there ANY WAY to get rid of BootCamp or undo whatever Boot Camp has done to my HD by means of a Linux CD or Windows 7 Installation CD or anything else? Is the MBR what has been changed? Any GOOD ideas or suggestions will be welcome.  Please, forget about the Magic Trackpad... I just want to get Windows 7 to boot again.
    Thanks.

  • Error message when starting Boot Camp: 'You must update your computers Boot Rom'

    I installed the latest firmware updated to my late 2011 13 inch MBP. Rom version is MBP81.0047.B24. Now Boot Camp won't start. Says I need to updated my boot rom. But its updated already. Anyone else having this issue? Thanks.

    Fire the people that write meaningless message errors. Oh, can't. Get the point though.
    you mean you are trying to use Boot Camp Assistant? Boot Camp has become meaningless through over use for too many things.
    It doesn't even know bout your EFI frmware, I can say that.
    You should though use Lion Boot Camp Assistant and the BC 4.01 drivers for your system.
    Zap pram
    repair your hard drive with Disk Utility - from DVD
    make sure your free space is not fragmented, is contiguous and also large enough, 40 + 20GB for Windows, and still leave 20GB / 20% free for HFS.
    And backup(s).

  • HELP - Mac Prp Freezes when Installing Boot Camp Drivers

    Please HELP me!
    I just installed Windows XP Pro SP2 on its own hard disk on my Mac Pro using Boot Camp.
    Then I inserted the Leopard Install DVD and started to install the boot camp drivers.
    In the middle of installing the "Intel chipset" my Mac Pro froze. The might mouse no longer would move the cursor etc. After waiting 10 minutes, I just rebooted.
    In the troubleshooting section of the Guide, it suggested I re-run the Boot Camp Drivers and click repair. I could not see any "Repair" option. The only option was INSTALL. I tried to install the Boot Camp drivers again and the mac Pro froze again (now showing Broadcom drivers).
    Any ideas? This is really frustrating.
    Rob

    I was able to complete the boot camp drivers wizard in Windows. But I had to first disconnect my firwire iSight and my Apple USB Modem.
    But now when I reboot I still see a new Hardware Found Wizard. It looks like it did not load the iSight Drivers.
    Now when I run the Boot Camp Drivers I see REPAIR. I tried that but that did not solve the problem. No drivers are being loaded for my firewire iSight. In Device Manager I see question marks beside iSight.
    Any Ideas?

  • Error when installing boot camp services 2.0

    When installing the windows drivers (whatever is auto installed from the leopard cd when in windows via bootcamp) I get the following error message:
    The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation
    I AM the administrator and only user. I have gone through and done the registry fixe mentioned here, as well as another one I cant remember the link for:
    http://bonkel.wordpress.com/2008/04/07/the-system-administrator-has-set-policies -to-prevent-this-installation/
    This has occurred because I installed SP3, and then realized I should upgrade to bc 2.1 . So, I uninstalled SP3 (nightmare.) and when I tried to uninstall bc it would not let me because 2.1 had a previously failed install attempt. I used a program called perfect uninstall 5.5 to uninstall it, but clearly a bit in the registry is left. I have gone through manually and deleted all I could find about boot camp, but help is much appreciated as I still get this message!!!

    Could you share your solution, in case someone ever finds this thread looking for a solution for a similar problem?
    Thanks in advance

  • Serious problem when instaling Boot Camp.

    Hi, I hope someone can help me because my boot camp has been giving me every problem imaginable.
    When I first tried to install windows, boot camp had no problems creating the partition, but my windows XP, for whatever reasons, did not installed.
    So, I borrowed a trial windows from a friend, it installed ok, and I installed 3Ds Max in it(which is pretty much the only reason I needed boot camp, since I don't own a PC), and everything was perfect for the 30 days the trial version lasted.
    Then, after it expired, I destroyed, the re-created the partition again, and another friend gave me a copy of his windows XP, and from her everything went to ****. The system installed correctly, but when I ran windows, the graphics were incredibly slow, even dragging a window around the desktop looked really jaggy, and 3DS Max installed, but wouldn't run.
    I tried the exact same thing with other 2 windows xp copies(all 32 bit), and the exact same thing happened. And now, I have noticed the when I create the partition for windows, it renames itself "untitled" in the mac os desktop, and, even if I erase it, when I turn on the computer it doesn't get me directly to Mac OS, but rather searches for the windows partition even if it's no longer there. I have to press the alt key for the mac partition to appear.
    I hope someone can at least tell me what the **** is wrong with my boot camp, thanks to everybody in advance.

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    as for the startup problem: once you are in OSX goto System Preferences - Startup Volume and set your OSX volume to be the default startup volume.
    (During the Windows installation this is set to be the WIndows partition and remains that way until resetted).
    For the obvious with the Windows installation: after the successful installation of Windows did you insert your OSX install DVD while in Windows to install the needed BootCamp Windows Drivers ?
    If not, then that's why you had these graphics problems.
    Read through the BootCamp Installation Guide here http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

  • Blue Screen When Installing Boot Camp Updates

    For some unknown reason, whenever I put in the OS X install disc in order to use my internet, wireless mouse, etc. The Blue Screen of Death or what I believe that to be, pops up for an instant and then my computer immediately restarts. I've tried this 5 or 6 times and finally decided to make a post. Thanks in advance.

    Everyone is having that issue. There seems to be a major bug with the bluetooth Boot Camp / wireless drivers where you get a blue screen of death whenever your computer has been idle for a while and then you start typing on the wireless keyboard.
    Wish Apple would fix this problem - my computer crashes several times a day.

  • Excel Unexpectedly Quits After Installing Boot Camp

    I installed Boot Camp last night on my MacBook Pro (Leopard 10.5.1, 160GB, 2.4 and 4GB Ram) and now my Excel files won't open in that application. Also, I can't repair permissions. If you might be able to help (greatly appreciated), here are the details:
    Excel crashes when I try to open a saved file. It complains that: "This file is not in a recognizable format." and then "Microsoft Excel cannot open or save any more documents because there is not enough available memory or disk space." and finally "The application Excel quit unexpectedly."
    All apps worked without a problem before installing Boot Camp. During installation I got an error message at the end of my first attempt to partition, saying that files could not be overwritten (or moved around) and I had to back up my HD and then erase it and then reinstall from the back-up. I did a file back-up using Carbon Copy cloner (tested the back-up by successfully booting from it), erased the HD using disk utility (running my Leopard start-up disk) and then reinstalled from the back up disk. Then partition was successful. I chose a 32GB windows partition. Installed Windows XP and then the drivers. Now I have the crashing Excel. My Mac partition still has about 15GB remaining. Isn't that enough?
    I tried to fix this with my Leopard install disk by running DiskUtility and repairing permissions. It now gives me a dozen or so warnings about the permissions being wrong but when I click "repair permissions" it reports that the problems were not repaired.
    Maybe the disk back-up screwed up the permissions? Maybe I need more than 15GB to run Excel? Any ideas? Thanks for reading my post.

  • Can't Install Boot Camp from Snow Leopard DVD in Windows 7

    I have an iMac "Core 2 Duo" 3.06 24-inc (08) running 10.6.2 and Windows 7.
    I was able to successfully use the Boot Camp Assistant to partition and install Windows 7 on my iMac. After the installation, I was able to download updates from Windows Updates which included video drivers.
    However, when I inserted my Snow Leopard DVD to install Boot Camp 3.0, the Setup.exe only gave me two options: To Install Mac OS X remotely and to install CD/DVD Sharing. I was not presented any options to install Boot Camp.
    I did manually navigate the Snow Leopard DVD and found a Boot Camp directory with its own setup.exe and when I clicked on it, it gave me an Installation Error stating "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model". I did some research and I found no mention of my iMac listed as an unsupported model.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    When I inserted Snow Leopard DVD, the autorun didn't show me an option to install Boot Camp Drivers. Just like the author of this topic, it only showed me 2 options: to Install Mac OS X remotely and to install CD/DVD Sharing.
    Then, I've run Windows Explorer, navigated to Snow Leopard DVD, opened Boot Camp folder and runned "setup.exe". The installer opened and Boot Camp 3.0 was installed successfully.
    I don't know if it could help you guys with that error message, but after the installation of Windows 7 64bits, I've rebooted my Macbook Pro. Only after the reboot I did the Boot Camp Drivers installation.
    You can also try to run the "setup.exe" as Administrator (right-click, Run as administrator).
    Also, my Snow Leopard DVD is that grey one with the white "Mac OS X Install DVD" labelled on it.

  • Can't install Boot Camp 3.0 on Vista 64 partition-why?

    I recently installed SL and was trying to upgrade my Boot Camp version to 3.0. When I run the installer (in Vista Home Premium 64), it closes with the message "Boot Camp x64 is not supported on this computer." I don't see why that would be. The Computer reports that the machine is indeed running in Vista-64. The Mac Pro is version 2.1

    Vista Desktop, won't do any good in Mac. I keep installers in one of the Downloads folders.
    Navigate into "Drivers" folder and look for Apple and BootCampx64 is what I ran. I copied into "Apple Software" folder:
    H:\Downloads\Apple Software\Boot Camp\Drivers\Apple
    BootCamp64 - that is the file, not "Setup" that I ran.
    I haven't used Vista in 9 months, in Properties -> Compatibility change that to run as admin and see what you can do. In W7 there is "troubleshoot compatibility mode" when Ctl + Clk on a program/installers.
    Apple's lack of support means no 64-bit mode in OS X, no support for Windows 64-bit, difficulty booting from 64-bit Vista SP1 or later including Windows 7. So I gave up and built some PCs just to run Windows 7 and do some testing. Even install there and then just move the hard drive over to my Mac Pro to run Windows there!

  • 2010 Mac Pro Boot Camp - Refuses to boot Windows after installing Boot Camp drivers

    Hey all,
    I have a quad 3.2Ghz 2010 Mac Pro with a Radeon 5870 and 8 GB RAM.
    I have 2 10000RPM WD Raptor drives, the first drive is my Lion boot drive. The 4th bay contains the second Raptor which has Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit installed. Bay 2 has Time Machine, bay 3 has a Windows backup drive.
    I had first installed Windows and the Boot Camp drivers a few months ago and everything was humming along smoothly. Monday I tried to boot into Windows and it crashed immediately after the black Booting Windows screen started to change to the login window. This happened repeatedly. Nothing changed on the system that I am aware of. Whenever I tried to boot windows again, it booted into the repair mode. That did not seem to work because after running the repair it would still not boot.
    So I did what is usually required of Windows, and that was to reinstall. I reformatted the hard drive, ran Boot Camp assistant, and started the install.
    Everything was peachy so far, so I tried to reinstall the Boot Camp drivers (4.0). Did a reboot. Same problem. Doh!
    So I did ANOTHER reinstall, and everything was fine. But this time I tried to install the Boot Camp drivers off the os install disc that came with my Mac (3.1). Still no go!
    So finally I did my third reinstall and after that I did not install Boot Camp drivers. However, I did load up the CD and individually installed drivers for the Apple Mouse, Apple Keyboard, Cinema Display, etc. No problems whatsoever. Everything is actually still humming along fine.
    So it looks like running the full Boot Camp install for some reason no longer works. Which means I am missing the Apple Boot Camp control panel, but that's not really a big deal. Althought it's quite annoying to not have the functionality of the special Mac keyboard keys like volume control, etc.
    Has anyone run into this? I thought it might be a hardware problem but my Mac OS X OS exhibits no problems whatsoever.
    Thanks!

    Thank you to The hatter.
    I have a Mac Pro mid 2010 with a SSD and several internal hard disks. For some time I was trying to install Windows 7 on a fresh boot camp volume on a new WD 7200rpm 1TB hard disk. It was taking hours to install, and then I had a series of failures to reboot that proved permanent. The Window Repair utility would come up and took forever to repair the volume - but failed to actually do so, requiring completion reinstallation of the bootcamp volume. This occurred three times, between 1 day and 2 months after installation. I had already moved the Windows drive in to drive slot 1 of the Mac Pro.
    Eventually I gave up and installed boot camp on a secondary partition of the SSD. This worked fine, however is limited in capacity. So yesterday I thought I would try to install Windows on the hard disk again. The Windows installer took many hours to do its thing, and eventually a message came up that the installation had failed.
    I took your tip about possible hard disk failure, and ran Techtool Pro surface scan. It turns out that there are lots of bad blocks being reported. According to Micromat's documentation, the bad blocks being reported are those that may be in critical areas of the disk that cannot be mapped out. They recommend low level reinitialisation (with zeros) to map out the bad blocks, if possible. I am now running Apple's Disk Utility to do this, and fingers crossed that this reinitialisation succeeds, or I will have to replace the drive.
