Windows 8 Bootcamp on Mnt Lion 10.8.4

I'm currently on mountain lion version 10.8.4 and i cant use my windows 8 CD to bootcamp please help me :( BTW, im using a macbook mid 2010 model.

Is there any way to completely reinstall just TM without having to reinsall all the system files on the OS?
No, and you need to make sure that you completely removed the third-party hack you installed, by following the developer's instructions.

Existing Windows XP Bootcamp in Mountain Lion?

Hi all,
Recently I upgraded to OS X 10.8 from Snow Leopard and am not able to access my Bootcamp partition with Windows XP.
However, according to system specs (http://www.apple.com/osx/specs) existing partitions should still work.
Anyone who was lucky with that?
Thanks,
Eugene

I was actually running XP Bootcamp from under Parallels 7, but now can't.
I wanted to skip another installation of XP and software, but probably will have to do it. But before I do, I want to check if anyone could actually use existing XP installation in ML.
Thanks for your advice.

After upgrading to mountain lion i keep getting an error message saying my startup disc is full. it shouldnt be full because there is barely anything on there and i was running windows with bootcamp prior to this with no issues

after upgrading to mountain lion i keep getting an error message saying my startup disc is full. it shouldnt be full because there is barely anything on there and i was running windows with bootcamp prior to this with no issues. my computer now freezes and programs close randomly. The usual command for opening windows with bootcamp doesnt work. once in restarted my computer after it froze and it rebooted in windows automatically. i really just want to know if there is a way to take the upgrade off my laptop because it is very annoying.

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

Mac OS no longer available after trying to remove Windows on Bootcamp. How can I restore Mac OS without the Mac HDD in options?

Mac OS no longer available after trying to remove Windows on Bootcamp. How can I restore Mac OS without the Mac HDD in options?
So what I did was, I had bought my iMac from a shop and asked them to do bootcamp for me. However, they installed 32 bit instead of 64. My fault, I did not make my self clear about it. So after it has been delivered to my house, I realized that I wanted the 64 bit. I tried to remove windows on bootcamp but honestly, I have not experienced this before. So I failed. I believe, I did something wrong.
So I opened the iMac and it keeps asking me to go to windows. Windows OS also corrupted.
I tried the Option Key but the only option is Windows 7 only. So using a different keyboard, I press option and it only shows Windows HDD and the Mac HDD has gone.
What am I going to do? How can I restore Mac OS without the HDD anymore?

I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with bootcamp 3.3 on my Imac 2011. I need to updgrade to mountain lion. If I first upgrade to mountain lion, how do I go about upgrading from bootcamp 3.3 to latest bootcamp for mountain lion?

I have seen a lot of discussions upgrading from Boot Camp 4 to 5 but no answers upgrading from boot camp 3.3 to 5. My worry is that if I upgrade from snow leopard to mountain lion, that my bootcamp partition will no longer be able to boot up. There seem to be a lot of threads suggesting problems that are possible. Has anyone gone through this upgrade with success?

Before doing any installation restart OSX from your 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD and use Disk Utility to Both Repair The Disk and Repair the Permissions of your Macintosh HD.
Next remove your Snow Leopard DVD and restart your iMac into OSX.
Update to the latest version of OS X Snow Leopard by clicking the Apple icon and choose Software Update to install Snow Leopard v10.6.8, the latest version.
Use Time Machine to make a Full Backup of your Macintosh HD.
Shut down and restart into Windows by holding the Option key at the chime and selecting Windows.
Now use Windows Backup to make a Full Image Backup of your Windows Installation to a removable drive.
Shut Down and Boot back into OSX.
Open the Mac App Store from your Dock to buy and download Mountain Lion. Then follow the onscreen instructions to install it.
Upgrading your OSX to 10.8 should not effect the Windows Partition at all since you are only upgrading the Mac side. You should not have to run the Boot Camp Assitant 5 Utility in OSX at all.
Your Boot Camp 3.3 Windows Support Drivers et. al only effect your Windows installation and should continue to run fine after upgrading.
Which version of Windows do you already have installed on the existing Boot Camp Partition?
Is it 32 bit or 64 bit?

Can't boot Windows 7 Bootcamp

Hey
I'm having a similar problem as everyone else in this posting. I have 5 partitions. 3 of which I created for my Mac OS Lion installation, Windows 7 installation and a 3rd for storage. Everything was running fine for quite sometime until recently. My Windows 7 installation has suddenly stopped booting. Instead of a start up screen I get:
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
File: \BOOT\BCD
Status: 0xc000000d
Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data
Mac OS Lion starts up fine. I'm unable to mount my "Bootcamp" partition nor the "Storage" partition. On top of that "Storage" has been renamed to "disk0s5". When I installed Windows 7 it didn't recognize the "Storage" partition that was created in Lion so it merged what it thought was free diskspace (I'm assuming the same space that Mac OS recognized as Storage) to the Root Drive of Windows 7 (Bootcamp).
Are you able to assist?

I find the solve. i have the same type of RAM-plates but 2 of them was produced earlier than the second one.
to resolve my problem you need to install you RAM-plates correctly.
i have two plates A-type(earlier) and two plates B-type(later)
iMac as everyone known has 4 slots for RAM
       Left                       Right
|        1L(1)         |      |       1R(3)       |
|        2L (2)        |      |       2R(4)       |
When i placed wy RAM this way
       Left                       Right
|        1L(A)         |      |       1R(A)       |
|        2L (B)        |      |       2R(B)       |
my windows didnt want to start, and send me a request for recovery
But today when i placed my RAM this way
       Left                       Right
|        1L(A)         |      |       1R(B)       |
|        2L (A)        |      |       2R(B)       |
problems gone.
maybe its a problem of only newbies in Mac-using? So am I.

Mac system freezes on startup, but Windows in Bootcamp still runs fine

A few days ago I tried to turn on my Macbook Pro (mid 2010 model, 15 inch) but it only gave me a black screen and triple beeps. Thanks to this forum I found out it was a RAM problem. So I took it to a local certified mac repair shop and they cleared the RAM issue, but after I entered user name and password on start up, the Mac OS just boots to the desktop and freezes. I can't open any files or folders or apps. Strangely, the Windows in Bootcamp works perfectly--I can open local files and those on the Macintosh disk. The person at the store suggested that it could be a logic board problem or hardware failure. I'm not really buying that since Bootcamp still works (and also I'm reluctant to spend $500). Anyone has any idea what the issue could be?

You COULD have the bad GPU found in some 15" mid-2010 MacBook Pros... you'd have to take your computer into an Apple Store or an AASP to find out.
Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU
If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:
Kernel Extensions in backtrace (with dependencies):
         com.apple.GeForce(6.4.0)@0x82ac4000->0x82b7afff
            dependency: com.apple.NVDAResman(6.4.0)@0x834a0000
            dependency: com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport(2.2.1)@0x82fd3000
            dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.6.5)@0x7a802000

            dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.2.1)@0x8301b000
Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. They should be more than willing to install a new logic board at no cost. I have no idea why this faulty GPU is making the headline here on the MacBook Pro forum so often now - could it be because Mountain Lion is just bringing the issue to a head more readily? I don't know - I only know that we're seeing more and more of these kernel panics of late.
Good luck,
Clinton

Disk Utility, Bootcamp, and Mountain Lion

Basically the following message will include all the above.
I just recently upgraded to Mountain Lion, and decided that I wanted to install Windows. When I tried to use bootcamp to create the partition, the error message that stated something along the lines of needing to have one partition that needs to journalized. The problem that I found with this statement was when I used the 'Disk Utility' only two partitions were shown, the Mac partition and the recovery partition. So next I tried to create and delete a partition hoping that would get rid of the error message. Again I hit a brick wall because the error message was still present, and then a new problem emerged with the 'Disk Utility.'
The partitions that I manually created after bootcamp failed caused other problems for the 'Disk Utility.' The problem was that I could no longer resize my partitions. The process would complete but the partition would still be at the same amount it was before the partition was supposedly resized. (Ex. Hard Drive has extra 20 GB, Current Harddrive partition is 420 GB. Resize to 440 GB. Go through the Process, which states success and the hard Drive still states partition is at 420 GB instead of 440GB). I then went into recovery mode to try the 'Disk Utility' and resize the hard drive, but again the hard drive could not be resized. Nothing seemed to work, so then I reinstalled OSX Mountain Lion.
After reinstalling everything, I tried to install Windows with bootcamp. This was also a failure. I was then forced to realize that maybe it was because of the recovery partition. I then deleted the recovery partition in order to see if maybe I could resize the disk so that way there was only one partition on the harddrive. This too led the problem discussed in the previous paragraph. In the end, I used my Snow Leopard Disk to restore my system. Then using Snow Leopard's Bootcamp I was able to install Windows. I just thought that I should share my experience with the community
PS. I did the repair disk, and permission before executing a new resize of the partition. As a matter of fact, I did these steps any time I used 'Disk Utility' to change something.

HT1899 Does Windows XP work with Mountain Lion or not compatible?

Does Windows XP work with Bootcamp in Mountain Lion or is it not compatible?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Boot Camp 5, the version that comes with OS X Mountain Lion, is only compatible with Windows 7 and soon with Windows 8.
However, if you upgrade from an older OS X version and you have Windows XP or Windows Vista installed with Boot Camp, you can continue using it without any problem, but you won't be able to update the drivers

Has anyone tried driving two external monitors (3 total displays) on the iMac 2011 through the thunderbolt ports on Windows 7 Bootcamp?

I would love to purchase an iMac 2011 with the Thunderbolt ports, but I need to occasionally boot to Windows 7 Bootcamp.
I imagine this will work in general... but has anyone tried driving two external monitors using the Thunderbolt ports in Windows 7 Bootcamp?
Thanks in advance!
Ralph

Hi,
I am trying to get this working at the moment. both monitors are fine in Lion but I am losing the second monitor in windows. I will update you when I get it working.

Can not reboot into OSX from Windows using Bootcamp assistant

I'm having a bit of a problem with rebooting into OSX from Windows on bootcamp. Clicking on the icon in the system tray produces a message that Windows can not find the OSX disk. Trying to open the Bootcamp preferences also generates an error. I have no problem getting back into OSX if I shut down Windows and restart the MacPro while holding down the option key. This is with a Windows 7 install on Bootcamp, but I had the same issue with a previous install of Win XP. I nuked and paved OSX and the WIndows disk between installs so my current problem is not carry over from the XP install.

My bad I should have been more clear. The problem is actually with a XP install via bootcamp, my Win 7 install is in VM Ware Fusion.
The XP install is on a second drive. Since you asked about this I'm assuming it may be the reason Im having problems.
The error is I get when trying to access bootcamp via the Windows control panel or by right clicking the sys tray icon is - "An error occured while trying to access the start up disk settings. You may not have privileges ...blah, blah, blah. I only created one account and I have enough privliges to change admin stuff in windows so I cant see privliges being the issue. I reassigned the OSX partition a new drive letter and rebooted windows but this didn't help.
The only drivers I installed, other then updating the video driver, are the bootcamp drivers
Sys tray icon - small diamond shapped icon in systray for accessing bootcamp functions.

Windows 7 Bootcamp and Thunderbolt to VGA Adapters for External Displays MacBook Pro i5?

Is it possible to connect an external moniter to a MacBook Pro using a Thunderbolt to VGA adapter in Windows 7 (professional)? I have tried and tried, when booting, both moniters (both laptop and external) show the "Starting Windows" page, but the external blacks out on the user selection screen. That gives me hope... is there a driver out there that will let me use the external display in Windows 7?
MacBook Pro
i5, 4gig, 750gig.
Windows 7 Pro
Mac OSX Lion
LG Flatron Wide
DisplayPort to VGA adapter (not apple brand, purchased on eBay).
Thanks.

You shouldn't require a driver. I would try booting as usual, then plugging in your external display. In windows, you can hit "command-P" to toggle between your external display options (mirror, extend, etc.). Once you do that, you should see the new display show up.
