Windows Vista Ultimate installed via Boot Camp?

Can install Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit using the latest version of Boot Camp on OS X Lion 10.7.4, or is it not supported? This article is not clear: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1461

You must install Windows 7 if you use OS X Lion or Mountain Lion. You can install Windows Vista, but the drivers aren't compatible with this edition

  • MacBook Pro 15 with Windows 8.1 installed via Boot Camp problem with keys "@" and " " of the keyboard

    Hello,
    I have a MacBook Pro Retina Maverick in 2013 on which I installed Windows via Boot Camp 8.1.
    The installation went well but when I am running Windows 8.1, I have a problem with "@" and "<" keys on the keyboard.
    When I type the "@" key, I get "<"
    When I type the "<" button, I get "@"
    I have reinstall Boot Camp from Windows 8.1 for reinstall the drivers and see if it would solve the problem but it was not the case.
    Someone of you has he encountered the same problem?
    Thank you.

  • No external sound in Windows Vista Ultimate, using Leapord Boot Camp

    I'm using a mac pro. I had this problem pre-leopard, and I thought leopard would possibly fix it, but it hasn't. The only sound I get when I'm in Windows comes out of the internal speaker. The externals don't work . But, they do work in OS X, so I know it's not the speakers. I tried re-installing the drivers, and that didn't work.
    In device manager, the realtek High Definition Audio device looks to be installed correctly.

    And in Vista don't forget to change the audio output in Vista itself.
    Go into the control panel and choose the sound panel.
    There are 3 tabs with each their audio out, make sure to choose the right audio output one and set it as default.

  • Under Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Boot Camp, my 27 inch Apple LED Cinema Display checks out as a Generic PnP Monitor and is shown as NOT HDCP compliant.  I haven't been able to find any kind of an .inf file to use.  Does anyone have a solution?

    I am having this same issue. Im not sure if this is the cause but I think this is keeping PowerDVD Ultra 11 from playing back Bluray under Windows 7 / Bootcamp

  • I have a Mac Book Pro A1226 - can i install Windows 7 on this via boot camp

    I have a Mac Book Pro (A1226 -late 2007) and I want to run Windows 7 Ultimate on it via Boot camp.   I am currently running Mac OS X 10.6.8  with Boot camp 3.0.    For some reason I can't seem to install Windows 7 through Boot camp.  Can I even install it on this computer?  Would I be able to run Windows 7 on this computer if I purchased Parallels instead. 
    Thanks

    You should try asking in the Boot Camp forum where the Boot Camp gurus hang out. Your issue has been discussed there many times.

  • Using one copy of Windows to install via boot camp and on a virtual machine?

    I have a copy on windows 7 coming in the post and I was wondering if it is possible to install windows 7 via boot camp when I want to do something more memory intensive such as gaming and also install it on a virtual machine such as virtual box just for other regular stuff. Also would this be possible using one copy of windows and one licence key?

    Then you need Parallels or Fusion to link to a native Windows partition.

  • Please Help! Problems with Windows Vista 32-bit on Boot Camp (Wireless/Etc)

    We recently purchased a new aluminum Mac Book (13 inch) with Leopard (10.5.4). I attempted to install Boot Camp and Windows Vista 32-bit. I can successfully alternate between both operating systems with no problems. However, I am having 2 problems:
    1) I cannot connect to wireless internet. No connections will even show up when I attempt to connect, its almost as if an adapter hasn't been installed.
    2) I cannot set up the trackpad to do right click.
    I've read articles everywhere and nothing has helped. Can anybody please help me??? Any support/advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    It appears that you may not have installed the boot camp drivers. Boot into Windows and insert your Leopard installation disk in the CD/DVD drive. This should automatically begin installation of the necessary drivers. Reboot the computer when instructed and all the hardware should work as designed.
    The right click is accomplished by placing two fingers on the trackpad and then depressing the trackpad button. This should also work after the drivers are installed as instructed above.

  • Non-responsive keyboard/trackpad in W7 install via Boot Camp

    I have a brand new MacBook Air, upgraded to Maverics, and trying to install Windows 7 64 bit.
    I have made a usb stick via an iso image from DigitalRiver, through Boot Camp, and started the installation via bootcamp. I also installed the rEFIt drivers, so i got the nice boot menu.
    When I boot into the installation, i cant do anything. My trackpad and keyboard is non-responsive (I can't even get the caps lock to light up).
    I've tried to:
    *boot into W7 safe mode, pressing F8 while booting, but it doesn't help.
    *"run unsigned drivers", from the same menu
    *Removing setup.exe from the Bootcamp folder on the disk. Also with no avail.
    I have seen that people have been struggling with keyboard and trackpads in W7 over Boot camp, but I cant even install it...
    Please help
    Edit:
    Only key responding is the shutdown key.
    I don't have any external mice or keyboards.

    SOLVED
    I just did it all over again, and it worked. Removed the partition and installed from boot camp again.

  • Can I run a Free version of Windows (Vista, XP, 7) through Boot Camp

    I want to take some online training for Visio and MS Project but need the programs on my computer for the classes. Instead of buying all of them, I would like to download free trail versions of Viso and Project and run them through a free trial version of Windows XP, Visa, or 7 via Boot Camp.
    Any ideas whether it will work, recommendations, pitfalls?
    Thanks
    Scott

    Will it be pretty straight forward to uninstall the MS software after is expires?
    MS uninstall is pretty straightforward. Just use the Programs Control Panel. But you wouldn't be able to reinstall the trials without completely reloading Windows. (Windows remembers the date the trial originally started.) Virtualization options like Parallels and Fusion are good tools (I use Fusion daily) but the additional learning curve for virtualization may or may not be something you want to deal with right now since you're trying to learn something else. But virtualization has advantages if you do much non-video work in Windows, so is something to keep in mind in the future. (e.g.: no need to reboot to use Windows or OSX.) Parallels and Fusion have trial versions so you can test the waters when you're ready.
    Obviously I am a novice to Boot Camp and my biggest priority is to not mess up the Mac side when I am doing this.
    Even if you use Boot Camp, just run Boot Camp Assistant after you're done to remove the Boot Camp partition. You will then have your Mac back to it's pre-Windows configuration.

  • Windows 7 install via boot camp assistant fails

    I have a iMac 2.8 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with Mac OS X Version 10.6.8.
    I also have a USB drive formated as Master Boot Record in MS-DOS (FAT) format. The USB has a capacity of 4GB+ and for now only includes a file named 'unattend.xml'  and a folder named 'drivers'. I created this USB drive when advised by a Boot Camp support site, because the Windows 7 install created a blank screen with a small flashing line on the upper-left of the screen.
    The I have burned an ISO file of Windows 7 Pro English 32 bit from the Microsoft site (I'm Gold partner).
    So I started of by clicking on the Boot Camp Assistant, tried to download the nesecarry Windows drivers, but it refused...  This seemed to be a normal problem which I could ignore (I heard). So I selected 'I have the Max OS X Installation Disc....'  and pressed continue.   I now prepared the size of the Windows environment and when that was finished, I inserted the burned DVD (which works perfectly fine on non-Apple computers).
    All this time, the USB drive was in the back of the iMac.
    I waited a while and the computer rebooted. A white screen appeared and after a while, the screen went to black, with the flashing little line on the upper-left of the screen...
    What is it that I do wrong?   Any help is really appreaciated.

    Partitions are not drives
    you are just seeing user volumes
    your sig showed you still run 10.6, not Lion, no recovery partition (which is hidden)
    The update to lion puts the recovery partition between where Mac and Boot Camp use to be and would have been.
    I am opposed to upgrading to Lion. Do clean install, even to an external drive.
    To me all that is needed is in the manual and here

  • Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit boot camp issues...

    Whats up guys?
    So here is my problem:
    I installed windows 7 ultimate 64-bit on my macbook. The install went great and everything works like a charm except my headphone jack is red, and i have no audio, and no wifi. I installed 3.0 drivers from my Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard disc, and updated to 3.1, and it seems the update fails. This is the third day i have been trying to fix this, and i cant find anything. Apple doesn't even know what to do! I have tried DLing realtek drivers, nvidia drivers, intel chipset drivers, EVERYTHING! I don't know what to do, but i need windows for my new job! Any help will be greatly appreciated!
    Josh

    Yeah i have done that a couple of times. When i navigate through the disk it doesn't even let me run setup.exe, so i installed from bootcamp64.msi. Then after 3.0 installs, i try to update to 3.1 and after the nvidia install, it just quits. When i use my version tracker it says that boot camp is in version 3.0, and it shows an update for 3.1 in software update. Now when i go to uninstall programs, it shows boot camp 3.1 is installed.
    As far as the audio, i have tried that as well. If i manually put a driver into that device, it fails on every reboot. It only shows working on Microsoft High Deff Audio Drivers( and it actually dosnt even work, it just glows red on my head phone jack.)
    Im stumped.

  • Windows 7 wont install in boot camp

    Hi, I just completely wiped my MacBook and reinstalled Leopard and it's working fine and I wanted to use Boot Camp with Windows 7 Professional and i had it all going well until I was installing Windows and it said that it can only install on a NTSF formatted drive, any idea how i can specify which format the partition for Windows is?

    It's easy. After installing Windows, eject the Windows disc (start your Mac holding the trackpad), insert the Snow Leopard DVD and Windows will ask you what to do with the DVD, so select the option to open the .exe file and follow the steps.
    You can't use a Mac OS X Leopard DVD to install Boot Camp drivers in Windows 7. If you haven't got a Snow Leopard DVD, you have to buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

  • Windows 7 wont install on boot camp

    I am on a Mac Pro 8 Core Xeon, 8gb, 3 hdd's, OS 10.6.8  Bootcamp 3.0.4
    I run Boot camp setup, partition a drive in bay2 (tried both a single partition and mac/win partitions)..I start the Windows 7 Untimate 64 install, select the Bootcamp drive..choose format..all fine.... Nope...  Windows says it cant install to the drive it just formatted.  Is there some trick or something?  I have scoured the net, but cant find the same issue anywhere else.

    Pull all but the drive Windows will go on.
    To use dual processor you'd want Windows 7 Pro x64 (System Builder $129)
    In fact, you don't even need Boot Camp Assistant when installing on a dedicated drive, just boot Windows DVD and format the drive and partiton as you like.

  • HT5219 Thunderbolt port devices and ethernet cables doesn't work under Windows 7 or 8 via Boot Camp unless I restart my computer... how are the apple developers so dump to not realize this mistake

    How can you not resolve a problem so essentail related to swapping thunderbolt devices when running bootcamp? Everytime I diconnect a thunderbolt device, I have to restart in bootcamp for the mackbook pro to recognize it. Considering that I apid ~$3K for this laptop when I could have got a dell for half the price, it such a poor technology. How can apple developers be so dump that they didn't design a drive to resolve the issue... and to make it even more dumber, they acknowledge it ... hello any one with brains after steve jobbs passed away there!!!

    I don't have a Thunderbolt machine but according to this article, Windows doesn't support Thunderbolt at all. That means Apple had to add Thunderbolt support in order for it to work even as it does. How would a Dell have solved your problem?
