Win7 boot camp 2.1

In 2008 I bought this iMac and installed windows vista (osx 10.5.4; boot camp 2.1). During 2009 I updated to osx 10.6.4 and win7. win7 is always used with fusion, due to problems when booted directly. When booted directly vista (but not win7) required a new activation. After the last session with win7 (first try after month) I had to use time-capsule to reinstall osx (so this was quite an embarrassing experience).
Although win7 (32 bit) is running, I would like to use the latest drivers and would prefer to use boot camp 3.1 instead of the old version 2.1. But there is now way to get past the error code 2229 during every attempt. I can't deinstall 2.1 or can update to 2.2 or 3.0. Boot camp 3.1 (32 bit) requires 3.0 -- and so on.
Changing the compatibility mode for the .exe to vista does not change the error code.
What means 2229 and how can I install boot camp 3.1.
Thank you in advance

Win7 boot camp to another ssd ..

hi and thanks for help !
i changed my intel ssd osX with boot camp/win7 to another ssd ...
before i cloned via superduper the mac partition, all went best !
now my question: can i clone from the now extern intel ssd to the new ssd (inside mbp) via usb and winclone ?
beside this, i have a security copy win7 from the intel ssd, how could i install this on the ssd if winclone does'nt work ?
(i don't want to change the ssd's again)

WinClone is an OS X program with its own proprietary image format.
It is not like SuperDuper disk to disk. For that you would need 3rd party and running Windows.

Can I install Win7 Boot Camp on a 2013 rMBP using an External SuperDrive?

I've been looking around, but I haven't found any concrete answers.
The question is, is it possible to use an External SuperDrive to install Windows 7 on a Late 2013 rMBP? I have an install DVD I bought from my university store a few years ago, which I used with my previous (now dead) MBP that had an internal SuperDrive. I also already have an External SuperDrive, so it's not really a question of getting one of those. If not, I guess I'll go the route of converting the installer DVD into an ISO and boot from a USB, but I'd like to use the actual DVD if at all possible.

Hi MLDalglish,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you want to install Windows 7 using an external optical drive with the Windows DVD. As long as the external optical drive is compatible with your MacBook Pro you should have no issues. Please take a look at the following article and use as a reference.

MBP Late 2010, How can I install Win7 Boot Camp using External Optical Driv

Hello:
I have a new MBP purchased in February. It's not the 2011 model. I replaced the Optical drive with an SSD drive and put the optical drive in an external enclosure. The Optical drive works great, reads, writes, etc. My Windows 7, Pro 64bit DVD works also, tested on a PC.
I use the Boot Camp assistant to create a partition. It them reboots and never starts up from the optical drive. I get an Apple logo alternating with a stop sign.
I have got back to OS X by starting with the Option key and choosing my OS X volume.
I tried booting to the DVD by using the option key, that did not work. I then choose the EFI option which allowed me to hit any key and appeared to boot from the external optical drive. Windows setup screen came up and I hit enter to start the file loading process. It eventually stopped when the progress bar was all the way across the screen. Then nothing.
Questions {Please give definitive answers, not guesses, thanks :)}
1) Is it possible to setup a boot camp Windows installation without an internal optical drive? Yes/No.
2) If yes, how?
3) I see the rEFIt utility has helped some but I read mixed reports. Will this help me boot and run Windows setup from an external optical drive? I don't want to install it if it's not known to be a certain fix.
4) Is my only options to reinstall the optical drive?
I chatted to OWC the vendor that sells the bracket. They had no idea how to install a Windows BC partition without an internal drive.
I am seriously discouraged by what seems to be Apple wanting to control everything. I had a Mac Pro and Air book in my future but now, it's on hold.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

I tried what you are doing with a 2007 MBP, and could not get any Windows CD s to boot from an external optical drive, firewire or USB.
I think this is fundamental to Windows which won't boot from an external USB drive either even on a Windows machine (although I believe there may be complex ways of achieving this). I don't think this is Apple trying to control the world.
I ended up taking the MCE Optibay out and putting the original optical drive back in.
Just possible that something has changed between a 2007 MBP and 2010 MBP, but I doubt it.
If you want the second internal HD, you have two options:-
1. Put the Apple optical back in, install Windows, then take out the optical and refit the SSD. The external optical will still be able to install windows apps and data etc, just not boot any windows install CDs or utilities (like Paragon rescue disks). You will not be able to do a Windows repair install without refitting the optical.
2. Parallels, which has come a long way in the last two years. I am 99% certain that Parallels will install from an external optical.

Boot Camp repair via Hybrid MBR fix after 5+ partitions

With the understanding that Boot Camp only formally supports a Windows boot upon creation from a single Mac OSX data partition, I'm trying to determine if a fix exists for the following boot setup. The end result I'm pursing is a triple boot mac setup with Mavericks, Win7, and Ubuntu. This applies to the bootcamp subject because it is not possible to install Windows 7 without Bootcamp due to USB3 drivers at install on this model [2014 Macbook Pro]. Thus making the Win7 Boot Camp task a required first step. The partition edits after this to make room Linux end up messing with the hybrid MBR boot setup that Boot Camp created - resulting in no available Windows boot option. A bit of research tells me that this Boot Camp partition can be repaired with some manual hybrid MBR work as long as a total of 4 partitions are present.
My question is can an alternate (or new) hybrid MBR approach support a fix for an already existing Boot Camp partitions while 5+ partitions exist on the same disk? If at all possible, what are the risks involved?
Current State:
As of now, I have the bootcamp hybrid MBR set up properly with Win 7 working -- though knowing any partition edit will mess this up. Using rEFInd boot manager already, and plan to incorporate that for the final setup. Would be hesitant to drop the Apple Recovery Partition if at all possible.

The additional that will put me past the supported 4:
5. Ubuntu 14.04
6. Ubuntu SWAP [may be able to avoid this with swap file instead]
7. Shared FAT32 space ~4GB [can also toss this if it puts me one partition over from a resolution]
Thanks in advance, appreciate any input.

HT201612 magic mouse boot camp drivers for Lion?

Where can I locate magic mouse drivers for Win 7 running in Boot Camp on an iMac running Lion?

The hatter wrote:
Recent thread post with fix for BT:
bluetooth connection is incredibly unreliable/intermittent when in Windows (I run Windows 7 64-bit and Boot Camp 4.0, and got both devices connected without any trouble via Bluetooth).
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4079148
After much testing, I have found the cause of lagging/jumpiness on the Bluetooth Magic Mouse and Magic TrackPad in Boot Camp. Hopefully this will help others:
The drivers for the Broadcom 802.11n Wireless Adapter have a setting called "Bluetooth Collaboration" that is Disabled by default. Enabling this option removes the problem instantly. My Magic Trackpad now works flawlessly, even if I stand 6 metres from the machine. It now works just as well as under Mac OS. The setting can be found under:
Control Panel > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter (right click and choose "Properties". Under the "Advanced" tab, highlight the setting named "Bluetooth Collaboration", then change it to Enable. Then click OK.
I narrowed the problem down to the wireless card by disabling ALL startup services and processes for Windows, then re-enabling one by one. As soon as I enabled the Windows Wireless Service, the problem came back. Similarly, disabling the Wireless Card inside the Network and Sharing Center (or Device Manager) removes the problem. This led me to believe it must be a driver issue with the wireless card, since the problem didn't occur with the Magic TrackPad under Mac OS, or on my mother's Windows 7 64-bit computer. So when I went into the Driver Properties to check for an update, I found this setting about Bluetooth Collaboration.
All Apple notebooks use the Broadcom card (and have done for years), so this driver is installed for almost anybody using Boot Camp on an Apple notebook. I'd assume this problem would affect anybody using Boot Camp + wifi + a Bluetooth device.
This works. Unfortunately it has one bad side effect: it will slow your wifi connection down to a crawl. For example: Windows 7 speed test (rMBP, Win7, boot camp, linksys WRT45G router set to g only) with collaboration disabled: up = 17 Mbps, down = 6 Mbps; with collaboration enabled: up = 3 mb/s; down = 5 Mbps. For me, this was not acceptable, so I kept collaboration disabled.

I want to install windows7 on my 27in iMAC. I have an OEM version of Win7 which is win pro 7, 64 bit english. I will use boot camp to partion the hard drive for a win7 install. Can I use this version for the installation ??

My iMAC is a 2011 3.4 GHz intel i7 based with a 27in display. A year ago, I bought a Microsoft win pro 7 64-bit english OEM OS to install over a newly assembled AMD PC. I never installed it. Now, I want to put it on my iMAC using either Apple Bootcamp or Parallels. The win 7 OEM package has a lot of verbage about using an OEM preinstallation kit (OPK) and that it must be preinstalled on the hard drive. Is it OK to install this win7 version following the Bootcamp instructions.?

Please post in the Boot Camp (not Bootcamp) forum I'm sure someone there can answer your quesiton if no one here is able to.

Black screen after installing Boot camp Win7 on iMac 27 late 2009

I've run out of ideas as to how to fix this problem. I have a late 2009 iMac quad i5, Mountain Lion, 12GB RAM, 1TB HD (recently exchanged under extended warranty).
I stopped counting how many times I have tried to get this up and running but I followed a whole bunch of 'how to's' on the net, including the official Appple guide, but I always end up with a black screen. I insytalled it from scratch using both, Apple drivers on CD and SD card and I can confirn that they installed correctly during my last try. That time I first installed Win Vista, then upgraded to Win 7. I took out the install DVD after first restart and left the SD card in its slot (correctly named, as suggested by Apple). the installation finished, the screen went dark for about 5 min, then the computer rebooted, the screen went dark again for another few min and after that the vomputer restarted again but this time all stayed dark and nothing happened for the better part of an hour.
I also restarted from the Win install disk and tried to remove the ATI drivers using command lines, as suggested in one post.
I need to run Win in Bootcamp because some application I use are very demanding so I need Win to run natively. In an earlier attempt I managed to boot Win7 from the Bootcamp partition in Parallels and I installed the Apple Drivers in that environment but it still resulted in a black screen. I also tried to remove the ATI drivers from Drivers directory manually in MacOS mode but the System wouldn't let me edit the Syustem folder at all, not even in Root user mode.
I understand that I'm not the only one with problem and I feel for you, but please refrain from "me too" posts becuase it doesn't really solve my problem. Thank you.

I presume that you've followed the instructions for sideloading the iMac Windows drivers into your install via USB stick? (wasn't aware the EFI recognized the SD slot as storage on boot. Now i know)
I always found more success in just slipstreaming the drivers and install.xml file onto a custom Win7 DVD rather than the USB approach when trying with my Late 2009 27" iMac. The Win7 installer needs that enclosed .xml file in the driver package to tell it where to find the drivers so that they be loaded when the Win7 image extracts itself.
If you're using mountain lion, then you should be receiving the proper Win7 driver set. If you wanted to create a custom image, then you can use an ISO file, the driver package and disk utility to make something you can use. Either that or you learn what edits your install.xml file needs to point the installer properly and check it manually.
I don't know what links you have so i'll just include everything:

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173
Direct link to Late 2009 iMac-specific Windows drivers.

I'd try a USB stick and the iMac-specific driver set. It should steer your insolent windows installer correctly.
Hope this helps.

Upgrading to Boot Camp 5.0 from 4.1: Would it require a re-install of Windows (Win7 SP1)?

I have a Late 2012 Mac Mini (OS X 10.8.3) with Boot Camp 4.1 and Windows 7 SP1 installed. I mainly work on Win7 and would like to continue doing so. My question is: Would upgrading to Boot Camp 5.0 require me to re-install my Win7 or does it work like a simple update? I certainly do not want to waste any time having to re-install my copy of Windows and all my content as it is working fine, but would like to install the latest Boot Camp drivers if it is no problem doing so.

Thanks mate, update to Boot Camp 5.0 done! Had a issue at first which didn't let me run the update, but this was resolved by downloading (from Apple's support website) and re-installing my (now previous) BC4.1 drivers again. Think it has something to do with the previous BootCamp.msi file that allows the BC4.1 drivers to be uninstalled first before updating to BC5.0. Got that tip from a diffrent question thread on the support website. Anyway, thereafter running the BC5.0 update was no problem. Takes a little while for everything to get fully updated on the next restart, but all good. Cheers.

Blue screen while installing Boot Camp support software in Win7 Ultimate x64

2012 macbook pro with OSX Mavericks. Installing Win7 ultimate x64 using boot camp assistant and a USB drive went flawlessly. Then I downloaded and installed the boot camp support software from support.apple.com/kb/DL1638
Running setup.exe bluescreens my computer and makes the windows partition unbootable after that, even in safe mode. I performed a system restore to roll back the boot camp software and booted again, and checked the log file. It pointed to an intel USB driver. I then deleted IntelxHCI from the Drivers/Intel folder, ran setup.exe again, and everything installed perfectly.
My question is: what is the Intel usb 3 extensible host controller, why is it included in the support software, and why does it immediately brick my Windows partition?

I have re-installed Windows 7 about 20 times already, I am experiencing the same problem as you are. The issue must be some kind of driver being installed by Boot Camp. When I leave my fresh Windows 7 install with no Boot Camp, the error or blue screen never occurs. This is weird.
Help please Apple...

Urgent help needed related to boot camp and Win7 32 bit

I have installed boot camp and Win7 32 bit on my iMac (2010) but I can't start from my mac os even by holding the option key. Windows doesn't recognize my wireless mouse either, but for now going back to the mac os is the priority. Can anyone help please?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Hold the Option (Alt) key after hearing the startup chime and until you see all bootable partitions in the screen. Do you see the OS X partition? If so, select it to start up in OS X. If you want to start up in OS X by default, open System Preferences > Startup Disk, and select your OS X partition.
Respecting to your wireless mouse, you have to install the Windows support software. To download it, you can use Windows or OS X, from this site > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630 If you are in Windows, decompress the file and run the installer. If you are in OS X, follow the steps of the website to burn it to a USB drive

Need to uninstall Boot Camp to get Win7 licence to work with VirtualBox?

I installed Win7 using Boot Camp a few days ago.
I find it a hassle rebooting each time I want to switch systems, and now wish to try VirtualBox.
Do i need to uninstall Win7 on Boot Camp (or delete the whole chunk) before Win7 will work on VirtualBox?
I don't want to touch the Terminal at all.

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
when you install Windows 7 in VirtUalBox you have to reactivate it with Microsoft, which deauthorizes your BootCamp Windows 7 license.
So while it is not really needed to uninstall, or better said remove your BootCamp Windows partition prior to installing it with VirtualBox, you should do it nonetheless to regain the harddisk space currently used by the Windows partition.
Use the BootCamp Assistant in OSX to repartition your harddisk back to one single OSX volume and so remove Windows.
Regards
Stefan

Scan HP OfficeJet 6600 in Win7 in MacBook Pro Boot Camp

I initially installed my OfficeJet 6600 on my MacBook Pro, but my MBP has a Boot Camp partition where I run Windows 7. I usually print and scan from the Mac side. I can print with no problem when working in Windows, so I never gave any thought to scanning. Today I hit a snag when I tried to scan a document while working in Windows. I started at the printer/scanner and chose "Scan to Computer." The only machine that appeared was my MBP. Do I need to so something special to get Scan to Computer to work with my Win7 partition?

Hi Caesar3,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some scanning issues.
I suggest that we start off by running the HP Print and Scan Doctor and see if it finds any issues.

Does any one know why it won't start the installation?

so i tried lukeD's solution again and a message came up, M76XT B22504 MXM GDDR3 256M 680e/750m
I googled it and found this thread and changed the resolution to 800x600, once it started up everything went back to the flashing cursor... , https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2617388?start=0&tstart=0
I could really need some help!
