WinXP SP3 and Boot Camp 2.1 | Win BSOD ATI card not correct!

Configuration:
Loaded and OEM WinXP SP3 on an iMac with Boot Camp V2.0. All worked correctly.
Immediately after Boot Camp 2.0 completed installed Boot Camp V2.1. All worked correctly.
Problem:
Working in Windows the OS triggered a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) after the OS was up for approximately 10 minutes. This was a repeatable problem.
Investigation:
Downloaded Windows DeBug utility to analyze the crash dump files from the BSODs. For reference on how to read the Windows dmp files and how to use Windows DeBug utility see the following link.
http://www.networkworld.com/news/2005/041105-windows-crash.html
Determined that the fault was caused by a driver file ati2mtag.sys.
Checked the version with the latest availble from the manufacturer ATI. It was the most recent version
Analysis:
In Windows right click on My Computer, go to Properties.
Go to the Hardware tab in Properties, and then to the Device Manager, drop down the Display adapters. The model shown was a Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT!
This is WRONG, the video card in this iMAC is a ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro.
Conclusion:
Windows and or Boot Camp loaded the incorrect video drivers for the video card.
Solution:
1. Download and install Dot Net 2.0 because the ATI driver installer requires this level to install required drivers. The download is available at the following link.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856EACB-4362-4B0D-8EDD -AAB15C5E04F5&displaylang=en
2. Go to ATI driver support page and download the latest Catalyst driver for 32-bit XP.
http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=xp/radeonx-xp
3. After download, launch the installer, just proceed with the installer until it gets to the point where it pops up an error message saying that the installer could not find a suitable driver for your hardware.
4. Close out the installer and right click on My Computer, go to Properties.
5. Go to the Hardware tab in Properties, and then to the Device Manager, drop down the Display adapters, and you should see Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT, this is incorrect.
6. Right click on the video card and choose Update Driver, you will be now see a Hardware Update Wizard.
7. It says Can Windows connect to Windows Update to search for software? Select No, not this time, and click Next... Now you should see What do you want wizard to do? Select Install from a list or specific location (Advanced), and click Next.... On the next page select Don't Search. I will choose the driver to install, click Next....
8. On the lower right corner of the Wizard, Have Disk... Now click Browse and go to C: > ATI > Support > Driver, and select the inf file in there, click Open.
9. Scroll through to locate and then select ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro, and install that, you might get a message saying this driver isn't certified, ignore it and continue.
10. After completion, reboot.
My system is now running correctly, no more BSOD's!

hmm, is it possible that the same problem of the imac is mine on the macpro with 2 ati 2600 cards?
from where do you know that the recginized xt card is wrong and it must the pro version? cause of the 256mb to 512mb at the offical xt version?
plz take a look at my problem thread:

Conflict between XP SP3 and Boot Camp 2.1 (exe file)

I have to install a version of XP bought as OEM with a MacBook Pro in late 2008. The Windows install CD is XP WITH SP3, but when I install this, I can't install BootCamp 2.1, because this exe file has to be installed BEFORE an SP3 upgrade. And I can't install the 2.1 when there is no Windows XP on the machine, because this is an exe file. And the BootCamp assistent is version 2.0 after I have upgraded to the latest version of Leopard. Can anyone help me?

I am having this same exact problem with a pre-installed purchase from Macmall. Can anyone please help with this question? I have xp sp3 pre-installed through Parallels but can not install the xp sp3 via Bootcamp because xp sp2 was never installed. Any help would be much appreciated.

Friends, MacBook Pro 8,1 – Intel Core i5 – 2.23 GHz (early 2011) New MB Pro with OSX 10.6 – current on all updates. I successfully installed rEFit. I used Boot Camp to install Win 7. All was great. Then installed debian 6. Somehow after the debian i

MacBook Pro 8,1 – Intel Core i5 – 2.23 GHz (early 2011) New with OSX 10.6 – current on all updates.
I successfully installed rEFit. I used Boot Camp to install Win 7. All was great.
Then installed debian 6. Somehow after the debian install and restart (I know this sounds crazy) but I am now reduced to Win 7 only. rEFit is not present when rebooting nor is OSX or debian. Further, I am unable to force the install DVD to launch when rebooting, by holding C, D or F8. The Option key brings me to the grey screen with a padlock. I have attempted the root and local pw- no go. Restart holding D takes me to the windows boot manager. I have attempted several options within the Advanced Options; including – Repair Your computer, safe mode and “last known good config,” All of which did nothing.
I can see all my OSX files within win7. I tried to install the OSX within windows. Ya right, that did nothing..
I only desire to get back to OSX...
What are my options??

Yes, you royally hosed up your machine.
You should first try to get your files off, any way you can to a external drive.
Your going to need to hold c and boot from the disk that came with your computer and a couple of screens in under the menu is a option for Disk Utility.
Select your drive and Erase with Security Option Zero, format the drive HFS+ Journaled and when that's finished (about a hour or so) then quit and install OS X from the installer.
I hope this works, but I suspect it won't. Others have hosed their machines trying to use a Linux disk without proper partition formatting too.
Another option might be to use another Mac to c boot off the Snow Leopard disk and install OS X onto a external drive, take that to the problem Mac and try holding option and booting off of it to erase your internal drive.
You could replace the drive.

Is this holding option while booting?
There was someone else around here who hosed their Mac with a Linux disk too. Try to find it.

Problems with Windows XP SP3 in Boot Camp

Hi,
I have recently received a 21.5" iMac; it is the higher-end of the 21.5" standard configurations. The problems I am having, I believe, specifically relate to drivers.
Firstly, I get no sound whatsoever in Windows XP SP3 (boot camp); I have tried removing and reinstalling the drivers from the Snow Leopard install disc, but no success. I have no yellow question marks in the device manager window, but the absence of audio still persists.
Secondly, I cannot gain access to the special functions of the Apple wireless keyboard in Windows XP SP3 via Boot Camp. Again, I have tried reinstalling the drivers, but no success. I have read an Apple support document which states that the keys are only supported on late 2009 Macs; I own one of these Macs, so that cannot be the problem.

Can I install Boot Camp 5 from Win 8?

I have a late 2011 Mac Pro tower running Windows 8 and Boot Camp 4. I have had Windows 8 ever since it came out, that means that I upgraded to Windows 8 with the last version of Boot Camp 4 (with no issues BTW). Now there is Boot Camp 5, and I want to upgrade my Mac Pro to Boot Camp 5, but the installer of version 5 tells me that I need Windows 7 to install Boot Camp 5. I already have installed Windows 8.
How can I upgrade to Boot Camp 5 from Windows 8 in my Mac Pro without going back to Win 7 or by formatting my drive?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!!!

Thank youn for the reply...
This is what I get when I try to install from the USB drive...

Lion - Windows XP (SP3) with Boot Camp

Hi, I have a MacBook Pro with Lion on it and would like to install Windows XP (SP3) with Boot Camp, but the instructions only mention Windows 7... do I need to buy Windows 7 or can I run Windows XP anyway?

that would be a costly option... I got 4 giga and will stick to it, I mainly use 2D, but 3D from time to time too... that's why I thought about boot camp rather than Parallels. Will try to get Windows 7 unless you think it's a bad idea.... By the way, how much space would you allow the partition for windows?
Not really costly at all, 8GB of RAM is currently $51 from www.macsales.com (OWC) and Fusion is $49 retail so for $100 you have an elegant solution. Much less expensive than buying WIndows 7.
Also you can partition as much space as you want, how much you need is 100% dependent on how much you use.

How to update xp to sp3 on boot camp partition

I am running Windows XP via boot camp (only to use cad drawing program) Each time I try to update windows to SP3 I get the message that I have not got enough memory to do this ( or the update crashes and then uninstalls SP3 )The boot camp partition is 34 Gb as default The Imac has 3gb ram with a 320 hard drive memory what do I need to do to update to SP3 in order for bit defender 2012 to run
I have virtually nothing on the boot camp partition apart from the cad programme which I do not think is very big

Anything non-essential connected during the update ?
Like external harddisk, printer, scanner, etc.
If so, disconnect prior to starting the update.
Run a CHKDSK http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/c hkdsk.mspx?mfr=true before attempting the next update.
Maybe some error turns up.

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?

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? Or is Apple's implementation of HDCP (if it's there) incomplete?

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

Enabling 'File Sharing' on my Mac allows my Macintosh HD and Boot Camp to be visible and writeable on my home network. How can I turn this off, so that only folders/files I share are visible?

So I've been trying recently to get my MacBook Pro connected to my home network. There are two other desktop computers in the household, and I'd like to be able to connect to their shared folders, as well as allow them to access shared items on my MacBook Pro. I think I've read all the documentation regarding this issue on the Apple Support site. I do have administrator privileges on my Windows 7 computer.
Issues connecting from PC to Mac
A couple of days ago, I enabled SMB File Sharing on my MacBook Pro, and in addition to the already shared Public folder, I added another that resides within Movies. Then I went to my Windows 7 PC, and under Network, my MacBook Pro appeared. I double-clicked on it (I cannot remember if I was asked to enter my Mac user credentials; I think I was), and I saw the two shared folders: Public, and the Movies folder.
However, today I went back to my Windows 7 PC, accessed my MacBook Pro, entered username and password, and in addition to the two shared folders, both my Macintosh HD and Boot Camp HD appeared as shared folders, both fully writable. However, under File Sharing on my MacBook Pro, only the two shared folders (Public and Movies) appear in the Shared Folders list.
How can I prevent my Mac from sharing my entire partitions? How can I configure it so thatonly the folders I select to share are actually broadcasted across my home network? Also, it would be ideal if I can access these shared folders from my Windows 7 PC without having to enter my Mac user credentials.
Issues connecting from Mac to PC
I have a user account on my Windows 7 PC with the same name as my Mac, but with no password. When I try to connect to my PC from my Mac, the enter credentials dialogue pops up and asks me to either log-in as a Guest, or enter my User credentials.
The Guest account is disabled on Windows 7, and I assume that's I'm not able to log in as Guest (if it is possible to connect as a Guest without having to enable the Guest account on Windows 7, please let me know). Leaving the password field blank on the enter credentials dialogue tells me that it's incorrect (even though I don't have a password on my Windows 7 account).
Is it possible to access shared files and folders on my Windows 7 PC from my Mac without having to create a password protected account? If not, is it possible to create a password for the sake of accessing shared files, while not requiring it to log in to the account? I'm sorry, I know this last bit more falls under the category of Windows Help.

Sharing files from a Mac to a PC is a different animal. I've never done it myself so you may want to repost a separate question on this topic.
From what I understand, in order to access files from a Mac on a PC, you must log in using your Mac username and password (no anonymous file sharing). Since this is not very desirable from a security standpoint, Apple recommends creating a separate user account on the Mac that is dedicated to file sharing. Give that account access only to the files/folders you want to share. You can then give that user account name and password to your Windows users.

Mac Pro RAID and Boot Camp and eSATA controller Card

Hello all,
I have carefully read the topics concerning the Apple RAID card and its inability to run Boot Camp. Of course, I read this after placing my order. I have been mulling over my alternatives based on everyone's input. Here is what I want to do and how I think I can get there:
My system, when it finally arrives and is assembled will be:
Mac Pro 3.2GHz
12MG RAM
4 x 1TB hard drives
Apple RAID Card
ATI 2600
Except for the RAID card, the memory and drives are third party.
My plan was to create a RAID 5 with 3 of the internal drives, with the OS and apps on the non-RAIDed drive. I wanted to install Windows in a Boot Camp partition, but since learned this is not possible with the Apple card. I also planned on using the OWC Mercury Elite RAIDs I have (each enclosure house 2 x 500GB drives, and I have 4 enclosures for a possible max of 4TB of back up) to handle Time Machine (or other BU strategy) for the internals.
I have not received the Mac yet, so cannot look inside. From what I can gather, the Graphics card will occupy the Slot 1. The Raid Card will occupy Slot 4. This leaves me with only one 4x slot for a 4 port eSATA controller card (such as the RocketRAID 2314)
As I see it, I have a couple of obstacles to overcome, and I would appreciate advice/feedback on my possible solutions.
Problem 1: In order to use my existing OWC RAID enclosures, I need TWO controller cards, each with 4 eSATA connectors. Unless I scrap the 500GB drives for 1TB drives, I am stuck. Am I correct in assuming I cannot use Slot 2 for another controller card? Is there any work around?
Problem 2: Boot Camp. Can I purchase the Newer Technology extender cable to access the two eSATA ports on the Mac's motherboard to attach an external SATA drive for this purpose?
Questions:
1) I assume I can set up an external RAID (another RAID 5?) with my OWC drives and use Time Machine to back up to them?
2) From the illustration in the Mac Pro manual I downloaded, there appear to be only 4 PCIe slots, but 5 openings (one seems to be aligned with the back-up battery). I assume this is the double-wide space for the graphics card. Can I use the extra opening for the Newer Tech ports since there is no card taking up space?
3) Should I remove the Apple RAID card (resell on ebay) and buy the CalDigit RAID Card? It has the virture of allowing a Boot Camp install AND has ports that I can buy SAS to eSATA cables for, allowing me to use all of my OWC drives.
The CalDigit Card sounds good, but I would like to make the Apple card work if I can. Also, with the OPTIONAL battery back-up, the CalDigit card isn't that much less than the Apple card. Besides, I cannot find this card anywhere, everyone's at NAB, and it's Passover next week. AND I need to get this system up and running ASAP so I can begin making the money to pay for it.
Any input would be most welcome.

Problem 1: In order to use my existing OWC RAID enclosures, I need TWO controller cards, each with 4 eSATA connectors. Unless I scrap the 500GB drives for 1TB drives, I am stuck.
You could get new enclosures with SATA port multipliers for up to five drives per SATA port.
Am I correct in assuming I cannot use Slot 2 for another controller card? Is there any work around?
Apple says any PCI-e card should work in slot 2
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/Conceptual/HWtechPCI/Articles/pciimplementation.html#>
"Mac Pro detects whether an inserted card is PCIe 2.0 (5.0 GHz) or PCIe (2.5 GHz) and selects the operation depending on the card's maximum capability."
but there have been reports of trouble (maybe caused by the recent firmware update). Check with the card maker to be sure.
Problem 2: Boot Camp. Can I purchase the Newer Technology extender cable to access the two eSATA ports on the Mac's motherboard to attach an external SATA drive for this purpose?
No. Those ports are only usable from OSX, but if you only have one optical drive, you can mount another drive in the lower optical drive bay with a Pro Caddy for use with Boot Camp.
<http://www.transintl.com/store/category.cfm?Category=2704&RequestTimeOut=500>
This simplest connection is to use the optical ATA cable (with a SATA to ATA adapter for a SATA drive).
If you want to use a SATA connection, use a iPass to SATA cable from the iPass port on the Mac Pro logic board, which is normally used for the four SATA drives when there is no RAID card.

Questions:
1) I assume I can set up an external RAID (another RAID 5?) with my OWC drives and use Time Machine to back up to them?
Yes
2) From the illustration in the Mac Pro manual I downloaded, there appear to be only 4 PCIe slots, but 5 openings (one seems to be aligned with the back-up battery). I assume this is the double-wide space for the graphics card. Can I use the extra opening for the Newer Tech ports since there is no card taking up space?
It looks like it should work if you route the cables just above the graphics card.

Overall happiness with Mac Pro and Boot camp/XP

Hi all,
I am a current Windows user and need to upgrade my home computer soon. My wife (teacher) has an imac g5 at home an loves it. I am thinking of getting a refurb mac pro when Leopard is released and use Boot Camp with XP Pro. I am not a big gamer so that is not a concern. I am just checking to see how happy others using this configuration are, and maybe reccomend a configuration (separate hard drives etc.)
Thanks to all for any feedback.

I love mine. Its quiet, launches native apps practically instantly (CS2 takes a few seconds longer), and performs all the system instensive stuff I ask of it quickly and without complaint.
And while it kills me to use Windows anymore, I need to feed my old gaming habit for which Bootcamp is great. I also need to do web browser testing for IE, and Parallels makes it super convienent.
If you have need of a system this powerful, I can totally recommend it. Without knowing what you're specific needs are, the sort of "all-around" config would be:
2.66 Ghz
2 GBs of RAM minimum (third party RAM is cheaper).
Buy extra drives if you need the storage space. But don't buy these from Apple. Western Digital drives are good and quiet.
Airport and Bluetooth options are pretty self explanatory.
If you don't game, and you don't use GPU sucking apps like Motion or Maya, you won't need the video card upgrade.
I could give you more specifics if you tell us what the system will be used for.

Windows 7 64 and Boot Camp

I installed 64-bits Windows 7 on my iMac 24 (end 2007) and it works perfectly. The only problem is the the Boot Camp drivers cannot be installed. (Snow Leopard disk).
Somewhere I have read that the Boot Camp drivers are not compatible with the 64-bit version on this iMac.
What shall I do now?
I also have a 32-bit version.

I don't see any help in those links.
What works for most, other than some of the issues with quality of Apple's drivers and graphic driver issue... the whole idea that somehow a Mac from 2007 isn't officially endorsed as supported, and Boot Camp 3.0 drivers are over a year old; came out before Windows 7 was out (but end of public RC phase).
which hinges on the Mac's firmware being EFI32 instead of UEFI 2.x (EFI64).
Copy the whole contents to a folder on your Windows volume.
Navigate to Apple\Drivers\Bootcamp64
control + click on that file and choose "Troubleshoot Compatibility Mode"
(or you can change Properties)
And you will then be able to overcome the "incompatible" error message and have them install
I have a 2006 Mac Pro also on the "endangered species list" as well.
Windows 64-bit versions from SP1 or later officially support UEFI, but that has not meant PCs couldn't install and use Windows 64-bit either.

How do I remove partitions "PV2" and "Boot Camp"?

I tried installing Windows 7 in Boot Camp and lost power during install. I want to completely start over but have partitions "PV2" and "Boot Camp" that I can't seem to remove. I have tried to remove partitions in Disk Utility but everything is grayed out. Boot Camp Assistant says "The disk appears to have been partitioned by another utility and can't be removed."

When I boot to recovery (Command+R) it gives me four options: Restore with Time Machine Backup, Reinstall OS X, Get Help Online, and Disk Utility. I am assuming I should erase the drives usings Disk Utility. I am able to select the PV2 and Boot Camp but when I select the "partition" tab the +/- buttons on the bottom is grayed out. I am not sure how exactly to "erase the entire drive." If you couldn't tell, I am a novice imac owner. I did make a backup using Time Machine earlier today.

Problems with Bluetooth unter XP (SP 2) and Boot Camp 2.1

HI,
I recently installed XP (SP 2) and Boot Camp 2.0 (Original Leo DVD). After Installing, my Bluetooth Mighty Mouse works fine without installing anyting. After upgrading to Boot Camp 2.1 the Mouse is not working anymore. Looking at the System Settings at XP i get the Error "Apple Bluetooth hat a Problem (Error Code 43)", ist there an option to downgrade the Driver to Boot Camp 2.0 ? or has anybody an idea what to do ?

Thats an easier to diagnose problem.
Prior to BlueTooth is setup the Windows box will react on all BlueTooth devices present.
Thats why at boot you can use your BT keyboard and mouse.
As soon as the drivers get installed the not official paired devices get kicked off/disconnect.
You really need to go back into the BlueTooth setup and officially pair the devices to your system.
You anyway want to do that because a BT system that is not officially paired sends its keystrokes without any encryption out. So in your instance your neighbor could get all your passwords.
Setup your system without a BlueTooth keyboard and afterwards (the drivers are installed) officially pair the BT keyboard you want to use.
To your graphics card question, every driver is individually accessible via the disc. Just insert the driver disc, instead of running the setup.exe choose to explore the disc. On the disc you will either see a Boot Camp or a Driver folder. Click into that folder and you can individually install all drivers (separated by vendor) rather than using the general Boot Camp installer. Do note that with this method you do not install the other Boot Camp tools such as the full keyboard support and the Boot Camp Control Panel.

Intel Iris Pro and Boot Camp Gaming?

So I'm just wondering how the Intel Iris Pro, and Boot Camp Gaming go together? I just got a 15inch Mac Book Pro with:
2.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7
Turbo Boost up to 3.2GHz
8GB 1600MHz memory
256GB PCIe-based flash storage
Intel Iris Pro Graphics
My question is, can this Macbook run games, (or just Star Wars the Old Republic), in max settings in Boot Camp?

I am assuming this is a custom-built dust prevention solution, yes?
Anyways, I received my replacement SuperDrive and just realized that due to Windows and Mac's limitations in regards to hard drives larger than 2.2 TB, I can't have any of my 3TB drives with both OS X and Windows without having at least two separate HFS partitions on them since the Windows partition must be in the fourth partition, requiring OS X to be in partition 2, Recovery in partition 3, and the combined size of these first four partitions must be under 2.2 TB.
At least that's my understanding. I currently have three 3 TB drives and one 1 TB drive (which contains Windows XP and 7 only).
I'm not really not sure if Windows has to be in the fourth partition because as I mentioned, my 1 TB drive has EFI in partition 1, Windows XP in partition 2, and Windows 7 in partition 3. I have OS 10.9 on one 3 TB drive, OS 10.7 on the second 3 TB drive, and no OS on the third 3 TB drive. I would prefer to install Windows 8 on that third 3 TB drive and yet have only one HFS partition because my desktop is already seemingly over-crowded with all the internal drives and partitions it has (I also have a 500GB SSD drive which is my 10.10 boot volume, plugged into one of the two unused SATA motherboard ports).
My plan is to first determine if I can now break the 1 TB drive barrier I ran into before and install two Windows OSs on a 2 TB drive (technically, I am going to clone my 1 TB Windows partitions onto the 2 TB drive). Next, I will attempt to partition a 3 TB drive with Windows 8 in partition 2 and HFS in partition 3.
