Windows 7 in Bootcamp shuts down when flash drive is removed.

Removing usb flash drive shuts down Windows 7.
Today, on my MacPro , I was wanting to  transfer some data files from Boot Camp on Windows 7 so i formatted the usb flash drive for Windows and copied the files onto the drive.
I then clicked  on Computer and found the flash drive and right clicked  to bring up the menu and then clicked on Eject.
I didn't see the flash drive light up like it usually does on the Mac side but after waiting for 30 secs. or so I pulled out the drive.
As soon as I pulled it out Windows 7 began to shut down.
I tried it one more time to see if it would repeat itself and it did the same thing again.
I don't have a clue why it should be doing this so I  would appreciate any suggestions you might have that will explain it.
Thanks

I Just figured it out!  I Have a Mac Mini 2012 with 2  Kingston 128 GB SSDs.  I thought it was having 2 internal drives that was making problems... Had exact same issue as all of you.   First I would get a no NTFS partition error after I used Boot Camp Assistant to make a USB install stick for Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
My solution was simple, removing EVERYTHING connected to my mac mini, including my Wireless mouse and Keyboard. All I had connected was my Apple wired keyboard, the install USB drive, and my monitor. Having a Second internal SSD drive was not the issue.
I formatted the BootCamp partition, and POW! it actually worked.  The error that  setup couldnt install on this drive, and see error log didnt show up!  Try that! it might work!

  • MBP Shuts Down when Power cord is removed

    My MBP almost instantly shuts down when the power cord is unplugged. The battery has been fully charged; I've tried restarting the laptop, holding down the power button for 10 seconds, and resetting the SMC.
    What is going on??

    I'm having the very same problem, and unless I find something on the discussions, I'm taking it into the Apple store as soon as possible.
    This is my third battery, and each one seems to have a lifetime of about three months. This situation is different, though. The first one was bulging and shutting down when the battery was below 25% charged and the max battery capacity was dropping sharply. The second one was part of the exchange program, but I noticed it was starting to bulge and the max capacity was starting to drop (below ~60%).
    This time, the max capacity is around 75% and I first noticed that it would shut down from sleep sporadically when on battery power. Then today, when I opened it, it shut down immediately. The battery was ~90% charged, but it wouldn't start up without the AC adapter. Now every time I unplug the adapter, the computer shuts down within 3 seconds. I also reset the SMC, which I think is the same process as resetting the PMU, perhaps they are equivalent terms or analogous devices, but the problem persists. There is no way to calibrate the battery since the computer won't run off it.
    Unless there is something else to try, I recommend anyone with these problems should ask for a replacement battery.

  • Is there a way to have the nano automatically shut down when external power is removed?

    My old ipod shut down when I disconnected the external power, a useful feature when using it in the car.   Can the 6th Gen nano be configured to do this?

  • MacBook won't start on battery/shuts down when power adapter is removed

    Help & advice needed please.
    My MacBook won't start without external power, it gives a whir then a click then nothing. Once started up, if I remove the external power it just shuts off.
    The battery shows at 98% & charging. Coconut Battery shows the following:
    Current battery charge 4126 (& increasing as I type)
    Maximum battery charge 4200
    Current battery capacity 4200
    Original battery capacity 5200
    80%
    Battery loadcycles 111
    Age of your Mac 6 months
    Charger connected yes
    Battery is charging yes
    Does anyone have a clue why the Mac won't power itself on the battery when everything else seems like it works?
    Cheers!

    As of today, my MacBook and I have been together for 40 days. Yesterday, while I was happily surfing (on battery), it powered down with no warning. Okay, these things happen. I plugged it in, restarted, and all seemed to be fine. Battery was about 70%. I did other things on my other machines and when it was about 90%, unplugged it and everything was good. This morning after using it unplugged for 1.5 hours it did the same thing, but decided to only work with the power adapter, not on battery alone. When trying to boot without AC, it would try to spin the CD and then fall back into off. When on AC, if I pulled the adapter, it would last two seconds and go blank. I made an appt. with the Apple store (Fashion Show Mall, Las Vegas) for 3:20pm. I got there right at 3:20pm and the monitors showed I was 5th in line. Store was fairly packed, at least one patron at every display item. Monitors also said the next MacGenius appt. was "approx. 8:30pm." Glad I made an appt! I was served about 15 min. later, during which time the monitors had changed to "No more MacGenius appts. available today, please try tomorrow." However, one guy came by without an appt. and was told he would be put on standby and to come back in 30 min.
    Once I explained my issue with my MacBook battery, my Genius tried one of his batteries. "I just want to make sure it's your battery and not your motherboard." My machine worked fine, so he said "No problem, I'll have you out of here in 10 minutes." He got me a brand new battery, tested it, and put my old one in a box on the rear counter with four others. He pulled the serial number from the "About this Mac" area, didn't need my receipt for purchase date or anything. I had even printed this page: http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/ to use as ammunition, but didn't need it. He did approve highly of my dashboard widget "iStat pro", available here: http://islayer.com/.
    So the battery issue is a very common problem, and one that Apple has tried to deal with as painlessly as possible for the consumer. My Genius did ask if the battery showed an "X" in the icon bar, and I said no. Just wouldn't run on battery. On the way out of the store, one of the 3 MacBooks, in fact the one closest to the door, had an "X" on the battery icon. When I unplugged the power, it shut down immediately! The moral of the story is to contact Apple immediately with problems and give them a chance to fix them. Hope this helps others.

  • Windows shuts down when monitor is closed

    I am having a problem with my bootcamp (Windows mode). 13 inch MacBook with Windows 7 partition. It is basically working fine, but as soon as close the lid the system automatically shuts down and never comes back unless I turn on it again. Does any one know the answer to this problem? This became a problem to me since I tryed to use Dell external monitor on my Windows partition. I have to use Windows in order to use certain 3D program that only works on Windows. Unfortunately I am not able to make the Windows partition and the external monitor work together. In Windows mode the monitor is not detected by the computer as though nothing has been connected. But I found out one thing. I connected to the external monitor and started on Windows mode the notebook display lid open at first. Then when the system was ready to work, I closed the lid (the external monitor connected but not detected by the system), but this time the Windows mode didn't shut down by itself. It continued being active just like the lid wasn't closed at all. So it seems like the Windows partition knows that something is connected, but it doesn't make the monitor work with it.
    Can anyone help me? It is very important for me to be able to use the external monitor on Windows mode because of my school work. Thanks a lot.

    Yes.

    iTunes keeps shutting down when I open it up.  The message says iTunes has stopped working.  A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solutions is found.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried something like the above then try opening iTunes in safe mode (press and hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases. You may find that iTunes opens normally now.

    How to remove black "blocked plug-in" window that opens with iPhoto. It covers iPhoto and everything under it. I've right and left clicked the black window, restarting the computer, shutting down the computer, but the window always appears when I open iPhoto and it will not move or go away. It stays on my screen (covering my desktop icons) even after I quit iPhoto. How can I get it off my screen?

    Which version if iPhoto and MacOS X do you have?
    Do you have any iPhoto plug-ins  installed?
    Open the folder /Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Plugins/
    To navigate to that folder, open the folder "Library" directly on your Macintosh HD, then inside the Library folder go to Application Support, then iPhoto.  Is there anything installed?

  • How can I shut down when printer window is locked?

    How can I proceed to shut down when printer window is locked?

    Hello vina8sy,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iPhone will turn off after a sync but the iPad will not. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

  • Why is iChat shutting down when trying to video-conference with Windows?

    My friend and I are trying to video-conference.
    I use an iBook G4, with an iSight.
    My friend uses a HP Pavilion ZV5000.
    For some reason, my iChat shuts down when it's connecting.
    It'll connect for one second and then, my iChat will close.
    I don't see what's wrong :(!
    Help me, please!

    Hi Bill,
    Yes I saw that kellyRAWR mentioned that they were using AIM.
    And Tony explained about the AIM 5.9 issue.
    I was merely offering another option that she may not know about, since the AIM->iChat is flaky at best.

  • I-pod shuts down when browsing album covers

    After updating the i-pod touch to the new Op System 5 the player will shut down when I browse the album covers (holding the i-pod horizontal). It will work for about 5 covers but then shuts down. I did a reset but did not help
    Anybody who is familiar with the problem?

    hiya!
    within 30 seconds or so my computer shuts down and starts up again.
    are you getting any sort of blue screen? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
    here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
    Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
    if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
    1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
    2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
    3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
    4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

  • Satellite A665-S6080 Shuts Down During Flash Videos

    I have a Satellite A665-S6080 laptop with Windows 7 64x which I've had for 3 years now. For a year now it will shut down when I am using a video converter program ie: Leavino Video Converter, Win AVI All In One. I would take a video I have on my computer and try to convert it to another format and about 10 minutes in the converting stage, my laptop will just shut down. It doesn't matter what converting software I use, It will shut down. If the video is small (under 500 MB) I might not shut down. I've tried to convert 1.5 GB video and my laptop would shut down.  If I play flash videos online it might shut down as well. Also when I play Candy Crush online it has shut down as well.
    I've heard people mention that the problem could be a bad power switch, however, my problem seems to be video related. Has anyone had this problem like mine? Any suggestions on fixing the problem? Thanks.
    If any other info is needed please let me know.

    See this post for flash player issue : http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Video-Display/Youtube​-question-Try-to-run-full-screen-and-just-get-a-bl​...
    Video converting is very hardware intensive and your laptop can get to hot and shut down.
    Do you use a cooling pad and does your vents and fan need cleaned? I ask that because you stated that it has only shut down for the last year and mainly when converting video files.(flash issue already noted above)

  • Itunes shuts down when clicking anything

    My iTunes shuts down when I click anything on the screen other than the music. If I click anything on the sidebar (Store, Playlists, Library, etc.) or the album artwork it shuts down. I have tried pulling all the iTunes preferences out of the library and restarting the computer. This does not fix the problem. This has been going on for a few months, but I have been downloading the newest versions of iTunes and it continues to happen.

    Hey chaimoy,
    It seems like you may be experiencing an unexpected quit from iTunes when importing a file into the iTunes library. I have an article for you that addresses this circumstance, and it can be found below:
