Win 7 cannot load in boot camp

Hey experts!! Need help...
I have successfully installed bootcamp win7 on my mbp 2009 model intel 2nd Gen. I have installed all the programs and it was running great then I wanted my MBP win 7 trackpad to be like mac gesture so I googled and found this website http://trackpad.powerplan7.com/
After installing the power plan it prompted me to restart the MBP and it just got stuck at the win7 logo screen so I powerdown and reboot and it went to a screen where they asked whether I wanted to repair the windows(recommended) or just start windows normally.
I tried the option of repairing but after loading all the windows drives it just stuck in a black screen and stayed there for eternity! So i reboot again and lead me to the same option screen or repairing or load as normal, so I chose normal and it starts the windows again but stuck at the logo...
I do not know what to do from here...tried inserting my real win7 dvd and boot but to no avail.so yes Iam running out of ideas!! I would hate reinstalling everything again...sigh... please help!
Btw, my MAC OSX is running fine!
Thanks in advance!

    Third-party NTFS software interferes with the Apple NTFS drivers, which control whether you can see the Bootcamp partition in the Startup Disk option. As a test, can you uninstall all third-party NTFS software and check System Preferences -> Startup Disk?

  • Windows cannot write to boot camp

    Does 'get onto Windows' mean you rebooted your machine and switched from OSX to Windows?
    When you check 'some' code, is it the Windows Event Viewer error codes you are referring to?
    Windows cannot and has never been able to write to Bootcamp. Bootcamp is a utility (Assistant) and an Installation Manager. Default behavior between OSX and Windows files systems is that they can read files, but cannot write files across partitions which contain these OSes.

  • How can you use Win 7 upgrade disk if Boot Camp 4 doesn't support XP or Vista?

    I've just purchased a Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade disk to upgrade my Win XP Pro. I haven't installed Lion or Boot Camp 4 yet but am concerned that if I need to reinstall Win 7 in the future the upgrade disk will require that Win XP Pro be installed first.
    If  my Win XP Pro isn't supported and can't be reinstalled in Lion/Boot Camp 4, does anyone know what my options would be?
    Can't get to Microsoft tech support without having a post-install product ID and their forums don't seem to cover this specific question for Mac/Boot Camp users or VMWare/Parallels users. I'm hoping that once activated that might be enough to turn the upgrade disk to a full version for reinstalling, but I'm not betting on it.
    Any help appreciated before I permanently remove my XP Boot Camp partition for a clean install of Win 7 Ultimate.
    Thanks

  • Can't install Win 7 from USB with Boot Camp - please help

    Hi,
    I'm going crazy trying to install Win 7 from a USB using Boot Camp.
    I've got a 13" MacBook (Aluminum) with 6GB RAM (trying to get to 8GB, but that's a different issue), 500GB HDD, running 10.7.4.
    In the Boot Camp Assistant I want to partition 60GB for the Win 7 drive, but when I click install I get the error: "The installer disc could not be found.  Insert your Windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for it to be recognized."  However, the USB drive that I used Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool in Win XP to create is plugged in.  I also have the .iso file on my Mac desktop.
    Googling hasn't produced any solution that I can work - most seem to be using Boot Camp assistant 3.0, and I've got 4.0.3 running.
    I'd appreciate help, particularly step-by-step instructions that I could follow.
    Thanks in advance.

    Lion has been out and most threads here deal with 10.7. and BCA 4.0.x
    There are problems with burning ISO to DVD etc at anything other than slowest burn speed (2x)
    New 2012 models don't have an internal DVD but if you do, then yours does not support a USB-DVD.
    So you are running XP now and have Windows XP partition? knowing that the update will need 40GB and that Lion does not support XP.
    Look at the other posts I made this morning for some of the FAQ Boot Camp support links.

  • Win XP won't recognize boot camp partition

    Hi,
    I wanted to create a small partition to run windows apps on my new MBP. So I did using Boot Camp assistant. I chose to partition 20 gig. Everything went alright, I could see the partition in the finder.
    So I went on to install windows XP. It copied files for a while but when it asks me to chose in which partition to install Win XP, I only see macintosh HD which has 130 gig left. Weird thing because the finder tells me I have 110 gig left on macintosh HD and 20 gig on bootcamp.
    So I removed the bootcamp partition, repartitioned a fresh bootcamp 20 gig. Started the installation process all over again and the same thing happenned.
    I don't know what to do. I also have an authentic copy of Win7 I could install but i'm not sure since the copatibility hasn't been ''approved'' by apple.
    So that's about it. Any help on installing Windows (XP or 7 ... not Vista) will be very appreciated.

    I see this happen from time to time, and so far, no one really knows exactly, only that XP comes in different flavors, some don't work, some will just go ahead and install... without asking where, and overtop of and wipe out the entire drive with Mac OS X along with it.
    Even XP SP3, so that isn't a solution.
    Me, I'd jump ahead, dump XP which is not going to be supported forever, and use Windows 7; or use a VM if possible.
    But your CD needs to be exchanged / returned and no amount of incense or magic will make it suddenly work. And it is no fault of yours. It could of course be a problem with Boot Camp Assistant and how it determins and sets up and tricks Windows into seeing Master Boot Record and hides the fact it is a drive with GPT. It really is not a full fledged partition tool.

  • The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved (BOOT CAMP)

    "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved
    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."
    I came across this message a few hours ago and did a quick but thorough research on the topic. It seeeds that the only solutions available were:
    -To move large files onto an external drive
    -Defragment the hard drive
    -Reinstall Mac OS X
    I was not willing to do any of the latter two, being time consuming and somewhat hard to do. But then, I came across this post on macworld:
    "...thanks to a tip elsewhere, I booted off my Snow Leopard install disk (hold the C key as you boot until the language selection screen appears.) From the Utilities menu on the install screen choose Disk Utility, then Repair Disk"
    This appears to be the easiest, less time consuming solution to this popular problem.
    (from http://hintsforums.macworld.com/showthread.php?t=72767)

    For some it works,and always worth a try.
    Of course the instructions are to backup your system first which some fail to do.
    And repairing should just be normal thing, done regularly, though I prefer to boot from my bootable backup (clone) instead of a DVD.
    sometimes even SuperDuper erase and restore works, but in 5% of cases even that doesn't (or the user did something we can't see and didn't occur to them).
    If the DVD works, then something was likely wrong to begin with is my own feeling, plus the fsck command should be easier and do the same.
    Lion has a hidden feature to check the health of all partitions, all, from the Recovery mode partition.

  • Windows cannot find my boot camp partition in set up.

    I have been trying to install windows 7 via boot camp on my new imac. Every time I get to the install screen it asks where do I want to install windows.  I choose the boot camp partition and format it as it says.  The computer than tells me that set up cannot find a partition to install on.  In the boot camp installation guide it says that the partition will be partition 3 but mine says partition 4.  Does this have anything to do with why I am not able to install. Please help. 

    You will need to uninstall the software using the HP scrubber.
    To do so, perform the following steps:
    1. Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ and then click on “HP Uninstaller”
    2. Next click “Continue”
    3. Highlight the device on the left pane.
    4. Press and hold Control+Alt+Cmd on the keyboard simultaneously while you click on “Uninstall”.
    5. After you do this, you will see a pop up that asks you if you want to uninstall all HP software. Please note, that in doing this, it will remove any other HP printers that you also have installed.
    6. Click “continue” and wait for the program to finish.
    7. After it completes, reboot your computer.
    Once the computer is back on, do the following steps:
    1. Go into “System Preferences” and then select “Print & Fax”
    2. Right click (or control+click) in the rectangle listing your printers and then select “Reset Printing System”. This is going to delete all of your printers.
    After you have reset the printing system, go to the following link and download the most recent version of software for your operating system.
    HP Officejet Full Feature Software and Drivers - OS X 10.8
     Once it is downloaded, install the software and everything should work now! If it doesn’t, just let me know and I will see what else I can do to try and help resolve this issue for you.
    If I have been helpful or if you’d like to say thanks you can click the white star under my name to give me Kudos.  I really appreciate it!
    Best of luck,

  • Can I 'move' my current Win XP Pro sytem into boot camp?

    Searched high and low, but haven't been able to find an answer to this.
    Can I 'move' my current Windows XP Pro SP2 installation into the Boot Camp Partition of one of the new iMacs?
    By 'move' I mean something like ghosting/backing up the current C drive and then restoring it into the boot camp partition.
    I'm relatively tech savvy (at least on the Windows side) so fiddling with / re-installing drivers etc shouldn't be a problem (as long as Windows comes up and recognizes at least the keyboard)
    Thanks

    You should download and play with Parallels Desktop for Mac. Not as a final solution, but as an in between. they have some utilities for moving Windows machines and images into virtual machines and also utilities for moving between virtual machines and boot camp - so some combination of those might be the solution you're looking for.
    Personally, I just run XP and Vista in Parallels - it works perfectly.

  • Cannot load generic boot images

    I've been having an issue where when I PXE boot to my SCCM server, it starts to load the Boot Image but then reboots immediately, leaving
    me in the same place I started. My assumption was that the Boot Image was corrupt, so I went to delete the image from the DP and Config Manager. Now when I go to add the boot images back into CM, I browse to the location where they're stored and I get a blank
    Boot Image drop down list. Has anyone seen this before? I've included a picture of what I'm talking about.

    Same here. I was getting into the PE environment just fine, but the computer would reboot after saying "Configuring Network Connections". The only reason I deleted the boot environments from Config Manager was because I thought the Boot.WIM files were corrupt.
    Looking back on it, I think I probably just needed to add a NIC driver to the WIM. 
    TConners, did you do any upgrades to the Assessment and Deployment Toolkit in that period of time? I upgraded from 8.0 to 8.1 in that timeframe.

  • Cannot find Windows Boot camp drivers during Windows 7 installation

    I am trying to install Win 7 using bootcamp.  Everything goes fine until, during the installation, I am asked to load the drivers.  None of them can be found.

    Before you go buy a flash drive, can you plug-in the USB into the iMac with OSX booted and go into About This Mac -> More Info -> System Report -> USB and post a screen shot . This is what it would look like.
    Also, your USB should have files like these. You can use Applications -> Utilities -> Grab to capture a screen shot (of a selection). Please remove any personal information from the screen shot using Application -> Preview. The screen shots can be posted by clicking on the Camera icon at top of this Reply box.
    Can you also post the output of diskutil list command from the OSX Terminal window?

  • Cannot install win xp by boot camp

    acturally, I install the Win Xp sp2 before, but I found the network very unstable, so I uninstall it. and the HD has already separated in two parts. however, when I want to install the win xp sp2 again, the Boot Camp showed that it cannot install in the HD which has two parts. to , How can I combin the two parts as original? use boot camp or others? thank you so much`!!

    My guess is you deleted the Windows OS not using Boot Camp Assistant (which for future reference is the easiest way to to do it) & now you have an empty partition plus the normal OS X one, what you call 'separated parts.'
    If so, just as the Boot Camp documentation mentions, Boot Camp Assistant will refuse to set up the drive for Windows since it only does this for a drive with a single OS X partition.
    One simple solution is to run Disk Utility, select your HD from the list (not the volume name like "Macintosh HD" indented under it), & click on the "Partitions" tab. Locate the empty Windows partition in the window -- it should be the lower one of the two you see -- & click the minus button to remove it. Then drag the tab at the bottom right of the OS X partition down all the way to the bottom so that it uses all the space the just deleted partition occupied. Click Apply, wait for the procedure to end, & quit Disk Utility.
    Now run Boot Camp Assistant again, following the instructions in the documentation, & it should be fine.

  • USB Hard Drives Won't Appear in Win 7 (Boot Camp)

    [2.7 Ghz Core i7 Macbook Pro 15" running 10.8.5]
    I have a 512 GB SSD that I run with a Boot Camp partition. I recently had to reformat the drive because I used a third-party app to resize my Boot Camp partition and it ceased to appear in Finder (though it booted just fine by itself). After formatting the drive, recovering my OSX install via Time Machine,  running the Boot Camp Assistant to create a new Boot Camp partition, installing Win 7, and running the Boot Camp setup.exe on the Windows side, I find that USB drives will not appear in Windows Explorer. I hear the "USB chime" when I plug/unplug drives, but drives never shows up. The same USB drives show up just fine in the OSX Finder.
    I suspect it's a driver issue because when I first plugged the drive in under Windows I got a message about "Intel USB 3.0 Root Hub" and it was searching for a driver that it never found. However, I ran the Boot Camp setup.exe again, and tried updating the driver in Windows Device Manager. No dice.
    This puts me in a spot, because my backup of my previous Boot Camp partition is on an external USB drive (via EaseUS), and when I boot from the EaseUS Recovery CD the USB drive doesn't show up in order to allow me to select the backup file I want to restore. (I would have used Winclone, but my partition was not mountable in OSX at the time due to the corruption. *sigh*)
    I could probably live without backing up my previous Windows install since nothing on it is irreplaceable, but I definitely cannot live without being able to plug in a USB drive. What am I missing here?
    Thanks!

  • Win 7 Activation in Boot Camp on Mid-2011 Mac Mini?

    I bought my wife a new Mid-2011 Mac Mini (2.3 GHz) to replace her older 1.66 GHz Mac Mini. After running all the Apple updates and getting the new Lion Mini set up the way she likes, I downloaded Windows Support software, ran Windows Easy Transfer on the old Mac Mini Win 7, and then ran Boot Camp on the new Lion Mini in preparation to installing Windows 7.
    Then I installed Win 7, installed all the Windows updates and had a perfectly fine installation of Windows 7 running. Until I tried to activate Win 7 online. I got the message that I had entered an invalid Product Key. So I entered the Product Key again, but I kept getting the message that the Product Key wasn't correct and that I needed to buy another one.
    This stunned me, as I had used the same product key to install Win 7 on my wife's old Mac Mini, which is now out of service. After Googling around for hints, I discovered something that I had missed: In Boot Camp 4.01 in Lion 10.7, a full-install retail version of Win 7 is needed. Aha! I had used the Upgrade version of Win 7 (Family Pack) I bought in late 2009 from Microsoft (I have 3 valid full-install Win XP and Vista licenses). I used the MS-approved double-install method to install Win 7 on the new Mac Mini to avoid the install-then-upgrade waste of time, not even knowing I couldn't install XP or Vista in a Boot Camp 4.01 partition.
    I actually have two Win 7 Family Packs, bought in late-2009, and I have 6 valid full-install XP and Vista licenses/discs. Only 4 of those Win 7 installs were actively being used until yesterday, although all 6 have been activated in the past.
    So here are my questions: Is the Lion Boot Camp 4.01 requirement of a full-install Win 7 disk causing the activation problem, or do I need to call Microsoft for a manual activation? Will Microsoft refuse to activate a copy of Win 7 Upgrade on my brand-new Lion Mac Mini even if I can provide proof of legal Product Keys?
    Thanks for any help, insight, tips. What a complicated mess progress can be!

    Solved the problem by using the Windows automated activation via phone. It took me several tries before I gave the right answer about how many computers had been activated with that particular Windows 7 Upgrade family pack Product Key. The magic answer was/is "one", even though I know for a fact that two computers in my household were actively using that Product Key. Go figure.
    Anyway, the good news is that you *can* use a Windows 7 Upgrade disk to install Win 7 in Boot Camp 4.01 in Lion on a mid-2011 Mac Mini, despite what Apple says. I'm going to guess that Apple is trying to steer its customers away from just the sort of thing I've gone through. Further good news is that Microsoft doesn't care about the Mac side of the equation at all, just that you can satisfy their phonebot with the right answers. :^)
    Thank God Apple not only doesn't use activation for its OS, but also in fact is headed willy nilly in the opposite direction with Lion.
