It lets me select the partition and then it installs. It restarts then nothing. It wont start up in windows? I dont know what i am doing wrong please help i need this to work asap. Thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
sounds like you are the 'victim' of the newer XP install CDs which somehow don't give you the chance to reformat the destination partition during the XP install process.
The BootCamp Installation Guide clearly state that you have to reformat the WIndows partition from within the Windows installer.
frederic1943 has posted a workaround to this which can be found in here http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10179186
Hope it helps

  • My sound no longer works on Mac OS after installing a Boot Camp partition for Windows 7 x64.

    I installed Windows 7 x64-Bit Professional Edition on my iMac Mid-2011 on Yosemite 10.10.2 through Boot Camp. I installed Windows 7 without any hitches and I proceeded to install an old PC game and I was able to run it just fine, I could here the audio perfectly. But, the next day, when I started my iMac on the Mac OS partition, the sound bar icon on the top right was greyed out. This problem began occurring after I restarted to the (original) Mac OS partition I've tried to check it out on System Preferences and Audio MIDI Setup. On Sys Prefs, it says, "No output devices found" and "No input devices found". On Audio MIDI Setup, it says,"No Devices Found on the System."When I go back to the Windows partition, I can hear audio just fine and I can even set the volume from my keyboard. I have already updated the necessary drivers on the Windows side. I've reset the PRAM and repaired the disk permissions with Disk Utility. Headphones don't work either but I can send audio through a bluetooth speaker that I have.

    Hi 0day,
    unfortunately you have to have the MacOS DVD to install the Boot Camp 3 (legally).
    The 3.1 and 3.2 are upgrades to that (as you found out).

  • Windows 7 wont boot after install of boot camp drivers

    I have been trying to get boot camp on imac mid 2010 with Maverick.   TodayI used
    Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621
    The first set of drivers
    Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033
    kept crashing on windows. Today I noticed a new set of drivers, well its the same issue. If I leave off the boot camp drivers windows is fine, except no sound and other driver missing issues but it works. The problem seems to be Mav or the drivers, before updating to Mav everything was fine. Sometimes I can even get to the windows log on screen, at one point I was able to log on and do things. So being smart, I restarted and the problem came back.  Who says Macs dont have issues.
    Any thoughts

    Just ran into this same issue.
    My problem got resolved after using the x64 version DVD of Win7 (just x64 instead of the DVD that had both x86 and x64 versions).
    What I did:
    My host is Windows 8.1
    After installing Windows 7 x64 as VM on my 8.1 based laptop two days ago, I wanted to do the same on my desktop PC, but I had the same issue described here.
    I used a DVD just with the x64 version for my laptop and a DVD with both x86 and x64 version for my desktop.
    Tried repairing as advised by a post, but got the error: "This version of System Recovery Options is not compatible
    with the version of Windows you are trying to repair. Try using a recovery disc that is compatible with this version of windows."
    I exported and imported the VM from my laptop to my desktop to test it and it ran with no problems.
    So I tried the DVD that had just the x64 version of Win7 and that installed without issues.
    I'm curious if this happens only when a DVD with more than one Win7 versions is used.

  • Mac Mini mid 2011 Windows 7 64 Bit crashes to blue screen after install of Boot Camp Drivers

    Hello.
    I have installed Windows 7 64 bit on my Mac Mini mid 2011. After the install, I install the Bootcamp Drivers and then after the restart it starts to load and then crashes. Is there some trick to get it to work, It runs fine if I do not install the drivers, but not much works on it.
    Thank you in advance for any help.

    Hi,
    Same thing here - but on Mac mini mid 2010...
    I have installed the newest drivers downloaded via Boot Camp Assistant 4.0 (from Lion 10.7.1) on Windows 7 64-bit but the updated graphic driver causes my both screens (monitor - MiniDisplayPort and TV - HDMI) to go black, and eventually computer restarts or freezes.
    I did some checks reinstalled whole windows, narrowed search to graphisc drivers and can confirm that up to BootCamp version 3.3 (nvidia ver. 19x.x) everything is fine but drivers from Boot Camp 4.0 (nvidia ver. 26x.x) simply render Windows 7 in 64-bit variant useless.
    I look forward to some sort of solution or update from Apple as soon as poddible...!!

  • Windows automatic startup on Mac Book after installing with Boot Camp?

    I installed Windows XP Home Edition 2002 using Boot Camp on my Mac Book with Mac OS X 10.5.1. This is probably a minor problem, but every time I turn on my laptop, Windows XP automatically starts, and the only way to start with Mac OS X is by holding option during start up and selecting Macintosh HD. Is there anyway to automatically start up using Mac OS X and not Windows?

    Hi every/any-one
    I had this initial problem whereby it automatically started Windows. I couldn't change the default in my Startup Disk pane in OSX because it didn't show either the Mac or XP partition. Once the bootcamp drivers were installed on XP though I could change it in windows - however this is where the real trouble has begun
    Now if I restart my computer in either XP or OSX (5.2) I have massive pixel dramas on my screen - like a colour phase shift or something
    However, once I am have chosen XP as the default system (whilst in XP boot camp bit) and then immediately restart I can continually restart in XP automatically without any pixel issues. Also if I choose OSX (whilst in XP) and then immediately restart, it will start in OSX correctly (BUT ONLY THE FIRST TIME) - The next time I automatically boot to OSX it is pixel dramas all over again - Similarly if I restart from OSX and want to change to XP and then hold down the option key to swap to XP, XP also has the pixel dramas and will continue to until I ask it to automatically start XP from teh boot camp menu - It is only if it automatically boots to XP that the problem is ok in XP.
    I have down loaded the latest leopard updates and the ATI 8.43 graphics driver (the catalyst one didn't install properly so I have uninstalled that) and I still have the same issue - There is nothing on my XP partion at all except the new drivers and the Apple Mouse Utility which I initially put into the start up menu but have since removed and just left on the desktop - Aside from that nothing has changed in XP from its initial installation. I have only gone on the web twice in XP and been to highly reputable sites and not downloaded anything so it would be virtually impossible for it to be a virus. I also couldn't properly download the latest OSX updates via software update (it stalled at 239M so I restarted and got the rest but then it wouldn't install so in the end I had to download the update file manually to trigger the updates) - I am not sure if this is related, to the pixel problem or not.
    Does anyone have any answers as I have restarted my computer at least 40 times in trying to isolate the specifics of the problem - but still can't work it out
    Could it be related to the fact that neither of my partitions can be seen in startup disk in OSX?
    Is it something to do with the screen res in XP ? (I have changed a bit but no good)
    Could it be related to the Apple Mouse Utility (I downloaded this so I could right click in XP)
    Any help other than formatting my drives, re-doing bootcamp, reinstalling XP would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks

  • Can't boot into Windows after installing with Boot Camp

    So I installed Windows 7 on a separate 70GB partition using Boot Camp. Everything seems fine, but once installation finished and the computer restarted for the final time, the computer shows the blinking "_" on the black screen and then promptly reboots and this cycle continues without end.

    please re-post in the more appropriate Boot Camp forum

  • Why can't I start Mac after installing Windows using boot camp???

    I'm new to Mac.... Have installed Windows 7 through Bootcamp... Well, I tried to at least!!  I can now only get into Windows every time I start the mac up.... What have I done wrong - and how do I fix it!?!

    Thanks Vinmar.... I can't see anything down on the bottom fit of my screen, apart from the time, date, connectivity, speaker volume etc. am I looking in the wrong place??
    The restart in Mac OS X icon (a grey diamond) will only appear after you've installed the Boot Camp drivers. If you installed the drivers, try clicking on the sideways triangle to show any hidden system tray icons.  You can also use the boot camp control panel to restart in Mac OS X.
    For how many partitions you have, you should be able to see those in the Disk Utility application in Mac OS X or the Disk Management app in Windows.  Be careful not to delete any of them.  If you want to remove a partition, I'd use the Boot Camp Utility to do that.  Nore as well that OS X 10.7 and above add a hidden recovery partition to your drive that you won't see in Disk Utility but will see in the Windows app. 
    Hope this helps.

  • No start-up after installing 10.2

    Hello All:
    I cannot get my iMac to start up after installing OS 10.2
    This - one of the last iMac CRT's - is my old computer which I have erased so I may give it to my niece for Christmas. The machine was running OS 10.2; it has 256MB, a 40 gig HD; it is a graphite slot-loader with a 600mhz processor (I believe).
    Once I erased it, I began loading new software: it would take up to 10.0.4 and run, but once I installed 10.2 (from a disk I bought from Apple - white background, blue X) I would get a message to reboot in many languages after the gray screen. A few times I got code during start-up and the machine would freeze.
    I ran the firmware updater and installed OS 9.2 thinking that would help. I reset PRAM. I reinstalled 10.0 from different disks I had - the ones which ship with the computer. I ran software updater. Nothing works.
    The only thing I thought of doing was getting a copy of OS 10.1 to install after 10.0, but before 10.2. Does this make a diffrence? Can I just jump to OS 10.2? Why didn't the machine ask for the second disk when installing 10.2? Did I do something wrong when I erased the disk? What do I do next?
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Rob
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Hi Rob, and welcome to the discussions.
    The multi-lingual message to restart is called a kernel panic. This can be caused by software (third-party extensions or drivers) or hardware.
    You said the machine was running 10.2 before you erased it to configure for your neice. If so, then your firmware was already up-to-date. Did you change anything on the iMac? New hard drive, new RAM, non-apple keyboard or mouse?
    Prior to installing 10.2, you installed 10.0.4 (this isn't necessary, by the way; as long as the firmware is up-to-date, you can erase the hard drive and go straight to 10.2). Did you install any other software? When you installed 10.2, did you did an archive and install, or an upgrade?
    I'd suggest starting fresh:
    Step 1: Unplug all peripherals (except keyboard and mouse) and boot from your 10.2 install disk, then launch Disk Utility from the Install menu at the top of the screen;
    Step 2: Erase the hard drive, and install the OS9 drivers (look for a check-box in the erase window);
    Step 3: Have Disk Utility repair the disk (if it fixes any errors, keep running it until it finds no errors);
    Step 4: Quit Disk Utility, and continue with the Installer.
    Good luck!

  • Can't start Tomcat after installing Bea WorkShop for JSP

    Hi,
    I have been using Eclipse SDK Version: 3.1.2 Build id: M20060118-1600 and Web Tools Project 1.0.2 and Tomcat 5.0 and Tomcat 5.5 for about 2 months with no problems. But now I Can't start Tomcat after installing Bea WorkShop for JSP plug-in. I get "Server Tomcat v5.0 @ localhost failed to start". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I installed BEA Workshop for JSP Version: 3.1.0
    Build id: 536. I only wanted to install the plug-in to my existng Eclipse 3.1 / WTP application. The only option that I saw was to download the entire FullWorkshopFreeInstall-536.zip, which is 192,496 KB. During the installation, there is a screen that you can specify to only install the plug-in - and I selected that option. Today, I chose to uninstall the BEA Workshop for JSP and then I was again able to start Tomcat server. I then did a complete install of BEA Workshop for JSP into a totally separate location. My original Eclipse installation still works fine, but my Workshop for JSP Version (which is now a completely new installation) has the same problem with Tomcat that I reported with the plug-in. I am using j2sdk1.4.2_08 and have tried both Tomcat 5.0 and Tomcat 5.5. I have the same problem with both Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Professional.
    Thanks for your assistance.

    I've followed the directions and am experiencing the exact same problem. Brand

    copy) will only run on WebLogic 6.1 SP1. So check the edocs for
    supported platforms
    - Make sure you have the installed the full version of the weblogic

    - Finally, you need to run the UpdateLicense.cmd file to update the

    Give it a shot after u have checked all of the above three - goodluck

  • Logic pro not starting up after install.

    Ive tried to install Logic pro twice and both time it will not start up after install. can someone tell me what is the best way to install this program correctly? should i just pay apple more money to install the program for me?

    I have exactly the same problem. Whilst 8.0.1 would hang during startup without displaying the splash screen intermittently 8.0.2 crashs every time a few seconds after displaying the splash screen.
    Although my computer is almost 6 years old it is perfectly adequate for audio work. I hope this is fixed soon. Unimpressed with the quality control.

  • I can't start windows 7 normally from Boot Camp

    I can't start windows 7 normally from Boot Camp.
    It was running fine since I have installed it 7 months ago, but now it can't start or (restart) normally (safe mode is ok). It displays a black screen after showing the logo, and I have to shut down the machine. My Mac system is working fine. Mac technician (Genius Bar) has run a surface scan to verify hd integrity and proofed ok, but could not give any advice on Windows issues.
    Please advice if anything I should do before cleaning up my partition and reinstall Windows.

    I would guess and sorry for asking but you already tried booting from Windows 7 DVD and doing auto repair?
    There are dozens of things to look at and do, and begin with chkdsk in Windows, yes but that only looks at one aspect. You can't really check for bad sectors on a drive's sectors. The best? to use the drive vendor's own utility actually, often with a linux boot CD or Windows program (they don't make Mac OS versions, one reason I first installed Vista over 5 yrs ago)
    Restore check points
    Uninstall last update or driver
    Clean the system of debris temp files, caches, registry errors, fonts and left overs
    make sure you have 20% and 12GB free space or more
    A hard shutdown can create more problems.
