Why does Boot Camp Assistant say...

"Boot Camp Assistant can not run until you upgrade your sytem software to the latest version."

I used DG3 to initialize the HD, which essentially erases the disk if I understand correctly. I haven't used Superduper before, so perhaps that's worth looking into.
I did mentioned the use of DG3 to ensure that I had a single disk partition. I guess the restore from a clone or Time Machine was implied...
;o)
Thanks for putting some effort into helping me. I'll look at Superduper and let you know if that gets me anywhere...

  • Why does Boot Camp Assistant already think I have more than one partition on my hard drive?

    Greetings...
    I'm surprised I've found no remedy for this problem in my searches so far. My symptom is that when I run the Boot Camp Assistant app, I get the following error message:
    "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition." The instructions that are provided along with the error message are: "Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
    When I try to follow the instructions, I see that Disk Utility shows my drive as having a single partition. Nevertheless, I've backed up my Macintosh HD volume, re-artitioned the drive into a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume (once using the Snow Leopard Installation disk and once using Drive Genius 3), and restored my Macintosh HD volume. After all that, I still get the same error message. I even defragged my hard drive, which seems to have helped some users I've read about, but it hasn't helped me.
    Something worth noting is that I recently upgraded to a bigger internal hard drive, and before doing so, I deleted the Boot Camp volume. I innocently thought I'd just do a fresh install sometime after replacing the hard drive, but hindsight tells me that I might have fallen victim to my own ignorance.
    Is there a value stored in a register somewhere that's telling my OS that I have more than one partition when I really don't? Can someone out there help me do battle against my ignorance?
    I'd be grateful for any help that can be sent my way...

  • Boot Camp Assistant says Install rather than Partition

    I have a second gen MacBook (Intel core 2 duo) I installed Windows XP via bootcamp back when I had OSX Tiger. Today, running OSX Lion, I deleted the windows partition with boot camp assistant, wanting to increase the hard drive size and install Windows 7. I successfully deleted the windows xp partition, and restarted the computer. Now I want to repartition the hard drive and install windows 7. I open boot camp assistant, click continue (only option) check 'install windows 7' and not 'download the latest windows support software from apple' as I already have this on an external hd and click continue. I choose the hard drive size, and boot camp assisnt has the option to 'install' and NOT 'partition'. I dont know why this occurs. anyway, if I click install, boot camp assistant says 'the installer disk could not be found' even though my windows 7 dvd is in the computer.
    So, my question boils down to, 'why can't i partition my disk for windows 7?'
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    After restoring, I lost my Recovery HD partition. I am currently working to get a new one. Perhaps I will install it AFTER boot camp is finished, which might solve the multiple-partitions error? I could use some advice here.
    At this point, bootcamp is giving me a new error which says some files cannot be moved. I am moving this to a new discussion HERE:

  • Does Boot Camp Assistant Partition It in GUID or MBR?

    Hi. Does Boot Camp Assistant partition using GUID or MBR? Does it initially format it with FAT32, leave it blank or format it with NTFS for the Windows installer to be able to detect it? How's the Windows installer able to see the Boot Camp partition made by the Assistant? Thank you in advance. Gbu.

    Microsoft recommends GPT for 2TB and larger volumes.
    MBR can't boot from a volume larger than 1.9TB.
    Windows 7 can see GPT just find, but not HFS+, and AppleHFS and MNT are buggy.
    Disk Utility can create a drive that uses MBR.
    GPT has support for sub-tables and for Master Boot Record.
    Apple's implementation of MBR might be on the weak side.
    Windows 7 wants to actually have and boot from the 100MB system partition.
    Apple, Intel, Microsoft, Sun etc are members of EFI Group and Unified EFI is supported on Windows Vista SP1 64-bit and later 64-bit versions, but Apple's is more proprietary and differs, but is the sole reason really for Apple's excluding and including which Macs are "supported" (which really isn't true) running Windows 64-bit (Vista/7) - that they have to have EFI64 or UEFI 2.x.
    The external drive is likely something else, as you could format a drive to GPT and NTFS and have it work fine.
    The best way to 'clean' a drive of all partition tables and volumes is with Windows and something like WD Lifeguard or similar tool.
    As for hybrid, while some Macs can now boot by default to 64-bit kernel mode, I prefer the "from the ground up" of Windows 7 64-bit which still supports and runs 32-bit apps, but of course mandates 64-bit drivers in places.
    Your Apple disks not only have GPT, but have to have other partitions like EFI (128MB) after any HFS partition. GPT does have an MBR - see the Apple tech note #2166.
    Windows and GPT FAQ
    http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/storage/GPT_FAQ.mspx
    *Secrets of GPT* http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#technotes/tn2006/tn2166.html
    Table 1: GPT Summary
    Block Description
    0 Protective MBR
    1 Partition Table Header (primary)
    2 through 2+b-1 Partition Entry Array (primary)
    2+b through n-2-b partition data
    n-2-b+1 through n-2 Partition Entry Array (backup)
    n-1 Partition Table Header (backup)
    The protective MBR is an MBR that defines a single partition entry that covers the entire area of the disk used by GPT structures and partitions. It is designed to prevent GPT-unaware programs from accidentally modifying a GPT disk. A GPT-unaware program sees the GPT disk as an MBR disk with a single, unknown partition. In a way, this is like the HFS wrapper around an HFS Plus disk.

  • What is the correct boot camp version to use with an early 2009 iMac 24 inch?  Boot Camp assistant says software not currently available?

    I have an early 2009 24 inch iMac.  It is running mavericks.  When I attempt to download using the boot camp assistant i get the message " software not currently available from server"  So I went to the Boot Camp support website and there are about half a dozen versions of the boot camp download.  None of them match my hardware.  I tried the one closest, but when I went to run the setup in windows, it says my machine does not support x64.  I have installed windows 7 home premium x64....It works, sort of.  I cant get sound and my magic mouse behaves badly.
    Do I need a different version of windows or is there a compatible version of boot camp for my system?  Thanks for reading.

    If you installed Mavericks then you had Boot Camp 5 installed automatically. If you have tried downloading from Apple's download site you won't find a version other than 4 or 5 that provide a total package.

  • Boot camp assistant says "not enough space" with 35GB available!

    I have recently cleared space on my hard drive to accomodate a 64bit Windows 7 partition, which I wanted to make with boot camp assistant.
    I made absolutely sure I had plenty of space; in fact, I have no less than 35 GB of space available on my startup disk. HOWEVER, the amount of space on my hard drive seems to be constantly changing. I believe this is due to time machine's hidden background backups which automatically fill up an expandable partition entitled "mobilebackups".
    Boot camp assistant constantly gives me the following error: "The startup disk does not have enough space to be partitioned. You must have at least 10 GB of free space available."
    This is on a 2.2GHz 15" SR MacBook Pro 2007 with 6GB RAM. I am running 10.7.1 (LION). Perhaps this has something to do with the recovery disk or the mobilebackps partition being treated as one or more separate partitions, as boot camp will only partition a drive with a single partition. However, I have not heard of this error anywhere else.
    Thanks for your help in advance! I am a rather experienced user, so feel free to use advanced terminoligy if you wish.
    PS Attached are screenshots of the error message and of my HD's info (free space highlighted)

    After restoring, I lost my Recovery HD partition. I am currently working to get a new one. Perhaps I will install it AFTER boot camp is finished, which might solve the multiple-partitions error? I could use some advice here.

  • Boot Camp Assistant says "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved." What can I do?

    I am trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate on my MacBook Pro that runs OS X Lion. I have read through a lot of the other threads and I think I understand that the I need a clean, defragged part of the hard drive to do this on. Boot Camp Assistant tells me to "Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again." That's all good and everything, but I don't have any idea how to do that. I don't want to risk losing any of my data and I don't want to download any "freeware" to try and help me accomplish this task. I would like a step by step guide on how to make this work. Also, is there anyway that I could have prevented this error? I don't understand why Boot Camp Assistant is even on my MacBook Pro if everyone that uses it will get the same error. I have done nothing but taken it out of the box and started using the Apple software that came installed on it. If there is not a simple way to do this in the Disc Utility, then I don't want to do it at all. I really don't like the idea of putting all my data on an external hard drive just to have this done.

    Just installing OS updates and programs will
    Write the installer
    Uncompress the file at say 7x and write the actual installer in a free area that often may be anywhere but at the far end of the partition is common.
    Write new version or copy of the files being changed/updated (myfile.new and myfile.old)
    Delete the entry in the directory for the temp files and versions.
    A program that can show your hard drive and where files are and where free space is, and show fragments.
    OS X tries to eliminate small files with fragments when they are rewritten and when it can find contiguous free space to write the new file.
    That can actually work against you, as it might fragment the free space also.
    When a drive gets down to 20% free space there is a performance hit, you are using slower areas of the drive (inner tracks are usually 50% slower) and having more trouble finding filles and where to write files.
    Clone Mac OS is one of the easiest and safest methods.
    Click on source (Mac Harddrive), click on or drop the backup partition / drive into target icon.
    Click "Run"
    you end up with bootable (test it to be certain) exact copy.
    Unplujg and keep it on a shelf
    Update it before you inistall a new version etc of OS X or make changes.
    Have two: one safe on the shelf from Week #1 and new Week #2
    Disk Utility can do that.
    With huge hard drives free space should not be an issue. The lack of a feature to defrag as part of Boot Camp or Disk Utility is why there are iDefrag and others, but they are slow and best run from.... a 2nd hard drive running OS X rather than from CD. and never great idea to do w/o backups or on live system.

    Your welcome and good luck finding the solution. BTW as a newbie you benefit from:
    Switch 101 & Mac 101.
    Also you may want to reassess to see if you really need Windows on your computer. Remember if you install it you have all the issues every Windows users has to deal with. When I switched almost 4  years ago I installed Windows too but now I only turn it on to see if it still works. Of course your situation is different you may have proprietary software only designed for Windows and have to have it installed.

  • Boot Camp Assistant says There is no USB drive connected to the system

    I have a mid-2012 11” Macbook Air and a USB Superdrive. I am trying to use Boot Camp Assistant but it is not letting me proceed. With the Superdrive plugged and Windows 7 (full version) DVD in the drive, I get the message “No USB Drive” – “There is no USB drive connected to the system. Please insert a USB drive to continue.”
    I checked using Finder and Go->Computer and there is the Windows 7 installation DVD mounted properly. The Superdrive spins up when I plug it in. I tried both USB ports. I tried re-booting with the Superdrive attached. The laptop is plugged in and there is an internet connection. It is running Mac OS X 10.8.3. I read the Installation and Setup PDF guide and there was no mention of the problem. I searched these forums and found that two other people are/have experienced the same problem, but there is no posted solution.

    At the second step in the wizard, there is a dialog with three check-boxes. The only way I can proceed is if I uncheck the option "Download the latest Windows support software from Apple". When checked, I get the "No USB drive" message. Checking or unchecking the other two options does not change the behavior ("Create a Windows 7 or later install disk" and "Install Windows 7 or later"). I have tried with the Superdrive attached with Window 7 in the drive, with a blank DVD and without the Superdrive.
    You are not following the Boot Camp instructions. Did you select the option to read the instructions? When running Boot Camp Assistant you are given the option to download the support software. If this is selected you must connect a usb stick that is correctly formatted per the instructions. At this point in the process you sshould not have your superdrive or Windows dvd connected.
    Read the instructions.

  • HT3986 Why my Boot Camp keep saying that there is no USB device connected ?

    I use Mac Air, and with a external CD device. When I try to install Window 7, it keep saying that there is no USB device connected when there is.

    Unfortunately not all external CD drives work the same, have you tried another cable or used another slot?
    Have you tried using a USB flash drive? You should have an option now in Boot Camp Assistant to install the W7 installer onto a USB drive as well as the Boot Camp drivers.

  • Boot Camp assistant says I need 10GB

  • Is my partition table corrupt? Why does Boot Camp hate me?

    Hi folks
    I have an iMac (27-inch, Mid 2010) (iMac11,3, with Boot ROM IM112.0057.B01).

    I want to use the original internal HDD both to run Windows in Boot Camp mode, and to have a partition for my bulk data that doesn't need to be on the SSD.
    I reformatted the HDD as a single HFS+ partition, GUID partition table.
    I used BCA to create a Windows USB boot device from the Windows 8.1 media after following the hacking in this link.
    When the iMac restarted after creating the 250Gb Windows partition on the internal HDD, I got the "no boot device" screen.
    I restarted holding Option/Alt and booted from EFI Boot on the USB stick. Windows installer started, at least. Serial number accepted, on to picking a location.
    The installation balked when I tried to select the BOOTCAMP partition, with the warning that the disk was formatted as MBR - eh? Why?
    So, the current state of the internal HDD must be wrong somehow, but I don't see how to fix it (confidently) and would like someone to point me in the right direction (please!)

    Thanks to Loner T and some more reading, I think I'm now sorted out.
    I found that marking the first partition on the USB stick as Active made no difference - my only option was to boot from the "EFI boot" option at startup (when holding down the alt/option key).
    So to get the Windows installer to behave, I used gdisk to write a new protective MBR before rebooting to the USB stick, as shown below.
    With the protective MBR in place (rather than hybrid), the Windows installer was happy to reformat the chosen partition and the installation began.
    I'll try to report back once all is installed and working, but once again I owe my sanity to the generosity and patience of strangers!

  • Why does Boot Camp not recognize Windows ISO image(s) ?

    Dear friends,
    My intention is to install Windows 7 on my Mac
    (I've several Windows OS .iso images)
    in the "BOOTCAMP" called partition, created by Boot Camp 3.0 application, on my internal drive.
    This is a 32 GB partition, being FAT32 formatted,
    but any version of Windows 7 (when installing)
    will surely want to be on an NTFS volume and reformat it.
    I've already burned 3 ISOs, with Toast Titanium 10.0.7 (speed : 2x, less not possible), on 3 DVDs :
    — 1 DVD -RW with W7 Enterprise x64 (with folders and strict ISO 9660 names) ;
    — 1 DVD -RW with W7 Enterprise x86 (32-bit) with one unique ISO, alone ;
    — 1 DVD -R with W7 Ultimate x86 (32-bit) with one unique ISO, alone.
    *Boot Camp doesn't recognize these discs as Windows installation DVDs*,
    and so does nothing but wait.
    I'm sure that something is missing on the disks to be recognized
    as bootable Windows installation discs,
    but I absolutely don't know what (setup.exe, for example, or another .exe file ?).
    Do I have to do something with the burning options
    (strict ISO 9660 naming, Mac names authorized, Hybrid Mac and PC,
    Joliet names or not, folders or not, etc.)
    Do I have to do something with the ISO image (any ISO I have), and how, and what ?
    I've also activators and many other things (.exe files),
    but I think they have to be used AFTER installation.
    Thank you very much in advance for your help !
    With my kind regards,
    Olivier Herrbach

    Dear baltwo,
    Thank you very much for your feedback.
    I'll go there immediately. It's obvious for me that only one .iso file, alone on a DVD, can't be sufficient, comparing with +(but I don't know what)+ is on a Microsoft Windows Install DVD.
    With my kind regards

    PS : I didn't have any time to reply to anyone, when I asked "How can I move something (copying it) without leaving original in it's place ?". Someone had the answer : "Drag and hold down cmd while releasing mouse". OK, it works, but you have to have good nerves, because folders open when doing that (I changed delay in Finder Preferences to the slowest), and there's also another inconvenient : I don't trust in copy (I want a one by one byte result), so I have to write what Get Info says BEFORE, and compare it after that with what Get Info says. In this case, I prefer to return to my old habits.
    PPS : I observed, and I will tell it somewhere when possible, that *Get Info gives false informations*.
    For example, I copied a folder with 58 items inside. Get Info didn't give me the same number of bytes for the copy as for the original. So, I did Get Info for *EACH of the 58 items*, wrote the results (in bytes) on a paper, and after adding *all the bytes of the copy*, found THE SAME NUMBER *as the total size of the original.* That's how I waste my time !
    Good evening, hoping to read you somewhere soon.

  • Why does Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621 have AMD Catalysit Control Center in its update?

    Before this Boot Camp Support software, the included drivers were for Intel. I have an iMac with Intel i3. But with the software update, it doesn't include a driver for Intel but instead AMD. That doesn't make sense. Anyone know the issue?
    Thank you

    I was told to just buy OEM copies but my frustration is that I'm already $200 in OS's because of the information that was provided to me by apple personnel and told by a senior tech that this still can be done.
    So to say I'm going to be S.O.L and spend another $100 (for a total of $300 and 2 OS's that are usless to me; because the first time i was told that i could use Windows 8 and when the drivers did not work i was told that Windows 8 is not supported by boot camp drivers at this time so i have to go buy windows 7) I might as well return the $2,500 system and just go back to PC and get a $900 dollar PC system.
    I will continue to work with the senior tech that i'm currently working with because the other issue is that OSX 10.8.1 will not except the OSX 10.8.2 update stating that it is not supported by OSX which i was told "that's strange"   

  • Does boot camp assistant block windows to restart when installing programs

    Hello,
    I boot camped my imac to install win 8 to use CATIA V6.
    The installation stop with the following error.
    Error code: Type ERROR, Error:ff, Owner: 301, HResult: 80004005.
    I googled it and I found this page from IBM    http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1HE08244
    I the page is standing the error I got and it seem to be related to something that block the computer to restart.
    I am not a computer expert, is there anybody who experienced something similar?
    Thank you.

    I have finally successfully installed Windows 7 x64 on MacBook Air 13.3" (2013) thru Bootcamp.
    Problem:  After Windows 7 install thru BootCamp, I got to the first login screen and not input devices (Mouse, keyboard, USB) worked.   I tried to boot into Windows Safemode, but I received the error  "Windows can not complete installation in Safe Mode".
    Cause:  WIndows 7 does not have native USB 3.0 drivers, included on the install images.
    Resolution:  I downloaded the latest device drivers with thru BootCamp and copied them to the USB Flash Drive that had my bootable Windows 7 x64 install on it.  The second option in BootCamp is "Download Support Media".  This does more than just download drivers.  It creates a file called "autoattended.xml".  This is key as it tells Windows during the install process to use the device drivers that you download.  Otherwise, you need to do it manually, which you can't because you have no mouse or keyboard.
    NOTE:  I had no need of a super drive because I had all the files on one USB flash drive.  Therefore, I don't think it matter which side of the MBA the USB drive was plugged in, as other solutions suggested.
