Windows 8 and Boot Camp 5 with Mid-2011 iMac12,2 DISABLING INTEL HD GRAPHICS

There seems to be some issue with this newer Boot Camp 5 and Windows 8 becuase of the Intel HD graphics in the processor. I have a maxed out Intel iMac 27" Mid-2011 with Intel Core i7 and AMD Radeon 6970M 2GB.
When Windows 8 Pro is first installed with Boot Camp 5 USB flash drive everything seems fine. The Intel HD graphics are detected and so is the AMD Radeon. But if the machine is put to sleep the computer resumes and has a BSOD. The reason is igdkmd64.sys.
I think the only way I know of to solve this is to disable the Intel HD graphics in Device Manager before the machine begins crashing. On "first" boot the Intel HD graphics are listed in device manager. Later depending on restart, sleep, hibernate, the Intel HD graphics are listed under hidden devices in Device Manager.
IS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCING THIS?
DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE A SOLUTION BESIDES THIS?

I don't know if it's just my iMac that lists the Intel HD graphics, but one day it showed up in Windows 7 and still exists today in Windows 8. Could somebody see if theirs shows up in Windows in Device Manager? Maybe with Show Hidden Devices checked.
BTW I did a clean install and left the boot camp usb flash drive inserted during the install which automatically installs intel hd and bluetooth and then start boot camp drivers installs after Windows setup is completed.

  • Windows 7 and boot camp issue

    On an iMac a1224 I installed windows 7 then boot camp from the os disc. Bootcamp version 2.1 was installed. The current installation and set up guide suggested updating bootcamp to 3.1 however that particular update requires version 3.0. That being said, is it necessary for me to update my version 2.1?
    Thanks

    Leeopard huh?
    You need Snow Leopard w. 10.6.x to get 3.0.
    If it works and no issues fine though probably the first time I have read someone did.
    BC 2.2 was more about XP and some support for Vista.

  • Trouble with Windows XP and Boot Camp

    I tried to install XP on my Macbook Pro with OS X 10.6.3 through Boot Camp, but it keeps giving me the error that it can't find the End User License Agreement and quits. I successfully partitioned my hard drive and tried the process with partitions both above and below 32 GB in size, but it still gave me the same error each time. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it?

    Hi,
    that seems to happen with some XP CDs.
    Have a look at frederic1943 solution in this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2071417&tstart=105

  • Windows XP and Boot Camp. Any experiences, pros, cons?

    I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY REASON NOT TO USE WINDOWS XP AS THE ITERATION WHEN I PERFORM THE BOOT CAMP PARTITION ON MY MACBOOK PRO?

    It could be done depending on when your MacBook Pro was made. Most MacBook Pro models from mid/late 2007 to early 2011 are capable of running Mac OS X 10.6.8 as well as OS X 10.10.2 that you show. If yours is capable then you would need to install 10.6.8 which supports Win XP or Win Vista with BootCamp. Find out with MacTracker at this link .     http://mactracker.ca
    The process would involve having a 10.6.x install disk and a clone of your existing 10.10.2 drive on an external HDD/SSD. You would use the 10.6.x install disk to erase and install 10.6.x  followed by Boot Camp assistant install of Win XP/Vista. When satisfied you clone the external drive containing 10.10.2 and data back to the Mac OS partition replacing 10.6.x . I personally did not clone the recovery partition as it is well known to cause some Boot Camp problems. Instead I have a bootable installer USB thumb drive in addition to the clone of my Mac OS X partition for rescue.
    It Is a lot more trouble than installing Win 7 but in my case Microsoft is to blame. They had a bunch of "Games for Windows" that required Vista that are next to impossible to make work with Win 7. And of course all help or upgrades have been abandoned. I was using Mavericks OS X and Win 7 and went through the process outlined above. I could have installed XP instead of Vista but I already had it on a MacBook with OS X 10.6.8.

  • Can no longer opt boot to Windows; Parallels and Boot Camp issues

    So I was reinstalling my Parallels since it wasn't reading my Boot Camp partition correctly and I removed my old boot camp profile in Parallels. I figured this would only affect Parallels. After all, I was going to make a new one since my Parallels wasn't working very well. The removal of the profile seemed painless and it was instantaneous (so I don't think it formatted the partition). I then went to restart, and now my comp won't boot to the partition.
    I can no longer view (or access) my files from Windows. I panicked and restored the profile from the trash, but I still can't access the partition. I can't even see Windows from the Start Up disk, but Parallels can detect that I have Windows 7 (even though it won't boot properly).What do I need to do to be able to get my Windows partition back? Do you have any idea whats going on with my comp? Can the removal of a virtual machine profile delete an entire OS in an instant?
    Disk Utility says that my partition needs to be repaired, but I don't want to do anything until I get an expert opinion.

  • WINDOWS ISOs and BOOT CAMP : PERHAPS A SOLUTION ?

    Hello to everybody,
    I think, after searching a lot, that it is not an ISO that you have to burn on a DVD, so that Boot Camp recognizes it as a Windows Installation DVD. An ISO is an uncompressed image, that contains files, folders, etc.
    Here's what I found last night :
    *http://www.poweriso.com/download.htm*
    and on bottom of page :
    "PowerISO for OSX -- This is a free utility for Mac OSX  which can extract, list, and convert image files (including ISO, BIN, DAA, and other formats).  Type " poweriso -? " for detailed usage information.  File Size: 243KB   Download Now".
    So did I, and obtained that file : "poweriso-1.3-osx.tar.gz".
    Clicking on it to uncompress it, I had this result in a folder :
    "poweriso", which is an Unix Executable File (791 KB)
    You only have to place any ISO at the same place as "poweriso", click on ISO,
    and all files contained in it (which is an uncompressed image) appear.
    In my case, I clicked on my "WINDOWS 7 ENTERPRISE VL ENGLISH RTM X64.iso",
    and here are the 9 main items I obtained, and I think that's what is needed by Boot Camp
    to recognize a Windows Install DVD :
    — 1 : "autorun.inf" (4KB) ;
    — 2 : "boot" (folder, 16.632.708 B for 15 items), containing 9 main items ;
    — 3 & 4 : "bootmgr" and "bootmgr.efi" (Unix Executable File(s)) ;
    — 5 : "efi" (folder), containing "microsoft" (folder), containing "boot" (16.062.724 B, folder), containing … etc.
    — 6 : "setup.exe", 111 KB (Windows Self-Extracting Archive) ;
    — 7 : "sources" (3.026.787 B, folder), containing 166 items (in Finder window bar) of all kinds, 923 items in Get Info ;
    — 8 : "support" (33.804.337 B, folder), containing 3 folders, 105 items in Get Info ;
    — 9 : "upgrade" (42.107.825 B, folder), containing 1 folder, 5 items in Get Info.
    Unfortunately, I can't succeed, after burning under different settings (with Toast 10.0.7 Titanium)
    5 DVDs with those files on them, to obtain a Windows 7 Installation Disk
    that Boot Camp would recognize, IN THE END.
    Am I using the right application ? I've a lot of other burning DVDs apps,
    and I've also seen somewhere that Disk Utility could be used, but does it open ISOs, because I think it's the contents that matters.
    I've only tried, for the moment, ISO 9660 settings (several options). Does anyone have any idea(s), suggestion(s) ? Is there a file that you think could be MISSING ? Of course, I tried not to bore you with all details of the contents of files.
    Please, tell me if you have ANY info about how I must do, which ISO 9660 options I have to choose (Joliet, Mac names),
    am I right using ISO 9660 rules, do I have to REMOVE or ADD anything etc. ? Should I (and could I, under OS X) MODIFY any text as we use to do sometimes in Terminal ?
    I wonder also having found Mac stuff in different places : "bootfix.bin" _(MacBinary Encoded File)_ was in "boot" folder, and "efisys_noprompt.bin" and "efisys.bin" _(MacBinary Encoded File(s)) were in "efi"/"microsoft"/"boot" folder.
    Why are these files in a Windows ISO ? Were they created by poweriso (for OS X) when opening ISO ?
    Do I have to burn Boot Camp 3.1 for Windows (provided by Apple) on the Windows Install DVD ?
    I think it serves AFTER installation, or do I make a mistake ?
    *Another question :* why should I let Boot Camp create a (FAT32 formatted) 32 GB partition (in fact, it creates more if you verify, and it shouldn't), when I know that, when installing, Windows 7 Enterprise will format his space with NTFS ?
    Wouldn't be more clever to afford it 50 GB, for example, and what exactly does Boot Camp when you decide the Windows partition to be greater than 32 GB ?
    Thank you very much in advance for any help, even the shadow of a clue !
    With my kind regards,
    Olivier Herrbach
    PS : I hope this text will not be considered as an already posted problem. If it is so, I sincerely apologize.

    It's a simple matter to burn a bootable .ISO image to a DVD using Disk Utility or Toast.
    if Boot Camp fails to recognize your DVD then it's either not a bootable disc or the DVD was not created properly. I've burned Windows 7 disc images to DVD several times and they have always worked. But if you have an upgrade image then they are not bootable. You must instead have a previous version of Windows - Vista or XP - installed in order to use an upgrade disc.
    To properly burn an image file to a DVD using Disk Utility do the following:
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. Select Burn from the Images menu.
    3. Locate the .ISO file you want to use in the File Open dialog.
    4. Click on the Burn button.
    You will be prompted to insert a blank disc if one is not already in the drive. When the blank DVD is recognized the Burn button in the DU window will activate.

  • No network devices using Windows 7 and Boot Camp

    I've tried downloading on the Mac the Boot Camp Assistant drivers file, but it won't write to the USB drive and balks at using a DVD. 
    I've tried downloading from www.apple.com the Boot Camp Support Software for Windows 7 but when I try to open the zip file and copy to a USB, it keeps saying to provide the last volume, as if the downloaded files weren't complete.  Almost to the point of giving up.  Help!

    Try this.

    You can also us a Windows PC to download them, extract the ZIP file and copy them to a USB thumb drive if your Mac can't handle that simple task.

  • Windows XP and Boot Camp

    Hi
    I hope someone can help me because I think I am going to go mad. Basically I want to play Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 on my 2011 Macbook Air via Boot Camp. I am a bit unsure on how to use boot camp, do I need to download the latest windows support software from Apple? Also it mentions Windows 7 on all the options, if I just use my copy of Windows XP will it install ok?
    Thanks

    For Mac OS X 10.7, you must use Windows 7 if creating a Boot Camp setup. Pre-existing Windows XP and Vista systems will work, as will those OSes in emulation.

  • Windows 7 in boot camp - two finger click and drag issues

    Hey everyone. I have Windows 7 on Boot Camp (MacBook Pro mid-2010, Mac OS X Lion) and I cannot seem to click on a window with one finger, then use a second finger to drag it. Every time I try it brings up the right click menu. Is there any way of fixing this? I want to be able to drag, darn it! Thanks.
    Grant

    Having had the same issue on my MacBook Pro with Boot Camp 5.0.5033 on Windows 8, workaround being external mouse, I have found the following:
    If Trackpad->Two Fingers->Secondary Click is enabled in Control Panel/Boot Camp, in order to Click and Drag one cannot click any place on the trackpad. One must click bottom area of the trackpad with one finger, and then use another finger to drag.
    If Trackpad->Two Fingers->Secondary Click is disabled, Click and Drag works the same way as in Mac OS X: one can click any place on MacBook Pro built-in trackpad with one finger, and then use another finger to drag the window or select a fragment of text. The two fingers Secondary Click, consequently, becomes disabled.
    For me Mac OS X-style Click&Drag is more important, so I disabled two fingers Secondary Click, and assigned Bottom-Right-Corner of the trackpad to be Right-Click instead.
    Don’t know if the question is still open… Hope, however, the info might be helpful to those having the same inconvenience with Click and Drag under Boot Camp.

  • Having issues with installing Windows XP on Boot Camp

    I installed the latest firmware for my MBP along with Boot Camp. I then tried to install a copy of Windows XP that I got from my friend (we'll name him Mr.Limewire). Anyways, I've tried to use 2 different copies of Windows XP and Boot Camp does not detect the cd still (it keeps saying to insert the Win xp cd). I believe I have using the full version of Windows XP. If a copy of XP is burnt on a Mac would that affect anything?

    You really need to use a legitimate XP installation CD - a downloaded copy isn't worth the time for many reasons. Even if you did get it running, you can't register it and will have to reinstall a valid copy all over again to use it.
    Also read the BootCamp FAQ's - XP must be a service pack 2 (SP2) release. If you don't see a folder "SP2" on the CD or some reference to it then you likely have a pre-SP2 release.
    Another option is to slipstream SP2 and create an updated XP installation CD -

    but even this would be waste of time without a valid XP install disc.

    At startup hold down the Option/Alt key and from the screen that comes up select your OS X partition to start the computer from. Then use the Boot Camp Assistant app to Remove Windows and the partition you reated for it and it will Automatically place the space you allocated for the Windows install back into the OS X partition.
    NOTE:
    Do NOT use Disk Utility to erase the partition that was created for the Windows install. Use the Boot Camp Assistant app again to do that.

  • Installing Windows 7 in Boot Camp with iso

    I have downloaded an .iso file with Windows 7 on but I can't install it in Boot Camp. I've tried several things with no luck.
    1. For the first, when I start up Boot Camp assistant I can't choose to "Create a Windows 7 install disk". I only have the two bottom options, the one for downloading support software and the one for installing windows 7. So I can't use my .iso file there.
    2. I tried to burn a bootable dvd with the .iso file. I burned it on a Windows PC since my superdrive won't burn on the discs I've got (DVD+R). The disc works properly on the Windows PC but when i mount it in my Macbook I only get a popup that says I've put in a blank disc and some options of what I wan't to do next.
    3. I tried to make a bootable flash drive and that pops up in finder, but the Boot Camp assistant won't recognize it and says I have to put in a Windows 7 install disc.
    4. I also tried to open the image file in disc utility, but the result is the same as if I'm trying with a flash drive.
    I'm out of ideas now so it would be nice if someone else knew any other possibilites to install Windows 7 in Boot Camp.
    Or maybe there is an solution for the things I've alleready tried?
    I'm using a MacBook Pro late 2008

    Does it boot off the internal?
    Is the external a full copy of your working system?> whew! then you can always wipe it clean and start over.
    As long as the partition was created properly.... though 50GB can work it can also be slim fit in the end.
    Under the worst condition - and the Mini is one of the worst, too - two minutes maybe to restart.
    External because there never was an internal DVD player?
    zap pram.
    did you buy DVD or burn DVD? if burned, then that is likely cultprit Redo at slowest burn speed (2x) with verify.
    Heck, even Windows 7 SP1 has been implicated on some were pre-SP1 worked.
    For a test, there is Windows 8 RP for free. And Parallels 7 will set up a VM for you with the whole download and inistall. Not everyone needs to run natively.
