Yosemite 10.10.1 Bootcamp Installation Windows 8.1 from an ISO

Hello,
as in my topic described I am looking to install
Yosemite 10.10.1
Bootcamp Installation Windows 8.1 from an ISO
I am using an MBP early 2011 without DVD Drive - but I have 2 SSD Drives inside (500GB und 128GB)
I want to use the 128 GB Drive for the Bootcamp installation, as I need it for some specific Sports Software which is just available for Windows, which was already running on my factory delivered 250GB HDD Drive.
The Problem is that bootcamp does not tell me there is an option for a ISO installation like it should display on macs which will be manufactured without an super drive. And so i can not install the ISO to the bootcamp drive.
I have an USB Stick with 8GB and an 8.1 ISO disk.
I do not want to reinstall my dvd super drive.
Hope you can help me out with a description on how to do - I am quite technical so can do some tasks ;-)
Merry xmas
Oliver

Yes. It also helps if there are any calculations to be done with disk sectors.
My optical drive works fine, but I moved to France and didn't bring any disks. Would it be easier and safer to just burn my windows iso onto a disc and run it through bootcamp that way? I'm thinking the answer is yes at this point.
Yes, if you have a built-in Optical drive, Bootcamp expects to boot from the Optical drive, because it sets the CSM-BIOS layer for Windows to boot from the Optical drive settings in the NVRAM.
I'm about to head out to celebrate a birthday, but I will post back here in about 14 hours.
Enjoy the party!
Do you recommend just buying a DVD and doing it that way? I could easily return my info.plist to normal, and as far as I know, my optical drive works fine. Seems simpler if it would work with my copies of osx and windows. What do you recommend?
The changes in info.plist enable creation of the USB, but do not influence the boot device pointer that BCA will set when switching to the Windows Installer. My recommendation is to get DVD writable media (DVD+R or equivalent) and burn the ISO to a physical DVD and use BCA to install windows using the BCA USB and DVD media.

  • Macbook pro mid 2009, yosemite 10.10.2 bootcamp installation windows 7 problem

    i have a macbook pro mid 2009 and yosemite 10.10.2 installed. my bootcamp is 5.1.3 and i cant install windows 7. every time i create the usb installer and restart the mac to install windows the usb installer dont appear. what i do?
    I try to make a uefi usb installer but The screen frozen when i click on efi boot

    Your Mac has (or used to have) a built-in Optical drive. You need a physical DVD for Windows and a USB2 flash drive for BC drivers. Bootcamp Info.plist modifications cause more problems than they resolve.
    Your Mac is also not UEFI compliant, late 2013+ Macs are the first ones to be, so EFI boot will not work.
    From the un-modified Bootcamp Info.plist file...

  • Trying to install Windows 8.1 from an ISO, but boot camp assistant doesn't seem to recognize

    Hi there,
    I have a 2011 Macbook pro, 15", 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM. I'm wanting to install windows 8.1 using boot camp assistant, and downloaded windows 8.1 from dreamspark (Microsoft store for students). I have downloaded all of the windows support software onto a USB, and there is a folder sitting on my desktop containing the .ISO for windows 8.1. However, when i try to run boot camp assistant, it says that the installer disc could not be found, and does not give me an option to install from a selectable .ISO. Can anyone help me with this? Is it something obvious I'm missing? Thanks!
    Connor

    For Macs with built-in Optical drives, you will need to burn the ISO to Optical media and use the Optical drive.

  • Probleme Bootcamp Installation Windows

    Hallo miteinander,
    gestern wollte ich meine alte Partion von Windows XP erweitern und auf Windows 7 upgraden.
    Dabei bin ich aber auf einige Probleme gestoßen.
    Zu meiner Windows 7 Version ist zu sagen, dass es eine Studentengeförderte Version ist. Ich musste die ISO also Downloaden und auf DVD brennen. Den Key habe ich von meiner Uni zur Verfügung gestellt bekommen.
    Ich glaube, damit fangen die Probleme schon an...
    Also ich habe die PArtition vergrößert und fest gestellt, dass die Windows 7 DVD nicht erkannt wird.
    Im mOment habe ich Bootcamp 3.0.4, also lag die Vermutung nahe, dass ich erst auf 3.2 upgraden muss...
    das geht über den Mac direkt aber scheinbar nicht (oder ich bin schlicht zu blöd dafür, aber es ist mir neu, dass man exe auf Mac verwenden kann)
    Nunja. also dachte ich installiere erstmal wieder XP und von dort aus dann das Upgrade auf  3.1 und dann 3.2...
    aber jetzt hab ich mit XP auch das Problem. ich kann den ersten Schritt der Installation durchführen und auf NSTF umschreiben. Aber beim 2ten Schritt hängt sich der Mac auf. Er gibt an, bitte drücken sie eine Beliebige Taste zum Fortführen...
    aber er erkennt zu dieser Zeit meine USB Tastatur nicht... auch nicht die Originale Mac Tastatur, die über Bluetooth zugreift...
    Kann mir jemand helfen?
    Thanks

  • USB ports not working in Windows-7 on MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013 after Bootcamp installation

    1) INSTALLATION
    Using Bootcamp (v. 5.1.1, OS X Mavericks) in combination with an original Microsoft installation DVD disc using an external optical CD/DVD drive. Note, the installation is NOT from an ISO image. In the Bootcamp setup window only the lower two of the three setup options are clicked, namely a) to download Windows-7 drivers to a USB stick, and b) to partition the harddrive and then to install Windows.
    2) PROBLEM
    After the initial Windows-7 installation no devices attached to the USB ports can be found under Windows-7. The ports are dead. Also the WLAN did not work, so no internet connection was possible.
    3) CAUSE
    The problem is caused when you use a USB 3.0 stick as destination for the Bootcamp driver downloads. It seems that Windows-7 cannot recognize the USB 3.0 stick properly during the Bootcamp/Windows installation process, thus failing to do perform a proper installation of the Windows-7 drivers.
    4) SOLUTION
    Use a USB 2.0 stick and everything will work perfectly.
    Follow these steps in order:
    1) Connect your external DVD drive to a USB port and insert the Windows installation disc
    2) Start the Bootcamp utility
    3) In Bootcamp, remove the failed Windows-7 installation and partition
    4) In Bootcamp, redo the entire Bootcamp process, but this time using a USB 2.0 stick
    5) Follow all further steps in Bootcamp and later in the Windows-7 installation process
    6) At the end of the installation procedures you will be asked to confirm the installation of all Bootcamp/Windows drivers.
    7) Bootcamp installs all the drivers and your Windows-7 installation will work perfectly.

    Ok, where is this Intel driver? There is no such thing "program manager" so I am guessing you mean the Programs and features control panel, but on my machine that whole window is blank after a clean install. I still cannot get the USB ports to activate. Two fresh installs and several different USB sticks later and no luck.  Should I just give up and go to Windows 8.1?  I really need Windows 7 to work if at all possible. Other devices shows one USB controller without driver software so I suppose that's the culprit. There are other USB devices installed under the USB section of Device Manager, but they apparently have nothing to do with the USB ports themselves, just devices like the trackpad etc.  I've spent two hours on this so far and it's getting out of control.  Why doesn't this work with generic USB drivers?

  • Convert flash drive for Windows 8.1 bootcamp installation from mbr to gpt

    Trying to run Windows 8.1 pro x64 on my mid 2010 15" macbook pro. Get stuck during bootcamp installation in Windows because my partition table isn't compatible (MBR but needs to be GPT). My hard drive seems to be Logical partitions/volume etc, while my flash drive was formatted into MBR seemingly by bootcamp, or otherwise not altered into the GPT like it maybe should have.
    Generally followed this guide http://www.howtogeek.com/186907/how-to-install-windows-on-a-mac-with-boot-camp/
    Steps I took:
    Had to use terminal/Xcode to edit info.plist from bootcamp to allow flash drive installation through bootcamp on my mac (removed the "pre" method).
    With all three bootcamp options selected, managed to partition the drive
    When restarted, my computer had black screen with "no bootable device found".
    Restarted again, holding alt/option
    Flash drive was now available as one of two options (the other being my standard mac drive)
    Windows Setup loaded. Selected language/imputed key/select version etc.
    Here is the strange part, the division of the disk does not include "bootcamp" anywhere in the title (like it should according to the guide), and is about 10gb smaller than my partition (assume this is a normal result of windows installation/os files etc). When I try to format the partition, it says I can't, and explains that I can't use MBR, need to use GPT.
    Attempted to rewrite disk with Shift F10 Diskpart, list disk, etc, but here it shows drive 0, 1, and 2, (rather than drive 0 partition 1,2,3,4, with 4 being my bootcamp I think). This seems to be a method for installing windows on a windows pc, and I didn't go through with it because I didn't want to loose my mac os yet.
    I am not proficient with coding/terminal use, and don't know if there is an option to list partitions etc, so I'm stuck. I can backup my mac and potentially change my partition table etc, but I feel like restoring with time machine would then wipe my existing partition. Is there a workaround I could use? Is there a specific sequence of backups/restores that would work? I'm also okay with manually drag and dropping the files I want back onto a clean slate computer if necessary. Or would simply buying and burning a disc with windows save myself the hassle? Please advise.
    Sorry for long question, wanted to get info out right away. Can include more if necessary. Thank you all for your time.

  • Mac pro windows 7/64 pro bootcamp installer fails

    just finished update of osx and fresh install of w7/64pro. on install of the
    bootcamp drivers i got a blue screen that took out the w7 install. this happened
    three times in a row until i figured out to just ignore bootcamp drivers and
    let windows be. it seemed to have drivers for the mac gear natively anyway as
    it turns out. in device manager the keyboard and mouse are there and listed as
    having apple drivers.
    problem is that the keyboard has limited functionality. the numeric keypad
    numbers don't work and the eject button doesn't work. not sure what else but
    that's enough for me to want to get things fixed.
    read up on things and found that my era of mac pro is compatible. tech support
    confirmed this. read that i should have bootcamp 3.1 so i downloaded it.
    couldn't install it, though, since i never installed bootcamp to begin with. i
    get an error dialog that i need 3.0 before i can update to 3.1.
    just for laughs i decided to try installing drivers from inside windows rather
    than from the bootcamp windows install process. booted into windows, started
    the installer from my snow leopard cd and the install hangs on the nvidia
    driver installation. makes a certain amount of sense since i don't have an
    nvidia card. i have an ati 2600xt. at least it didn't blue screen and take out
    the partition.
    anybody seen this?
    any tips on how to get past this particular level of computer ****?
    thanks,
    BabaG

    think i got it working. will take a few days of working to find kinks probably, though.
    found 'bootcamp64.msi' on the snow leopard cd while booted into windows. r-click
    on it and selected 'troubleshoot compatibility.' worked my way through the settings
    there and the install seemed to go ok.
    there was one quirk in that the mouse cursor frazzed into something like a vertical
    stack of very tiny pointers. that was interesting but didn't prevent me from using it
    until i needed to reboot for something. once back after the reboot the cursor was
    back to normal. will watch for more oddness over the next few days.

  • Windows 7 on bootcamp installation problem

    hi all,
    i just had a new imac and was trying to install a windows home premium OEM 64 bit on bootcamp. installation is going fine until the completion stage where your suppose to set up winodws for first use, all it did is become a blank/ black screen and nothing happens. i waited for a long time until i decided to install it one more try. no luck. i tried to remove the partition and partitioned it again on bootcamp and had another go at installation, still no joy. have anyone had similar problems? i just prefered to install a windows natively instead of using parallels. can someone help me please? i would really appreciate it.

    I made the mistake when setting up bootcamp by not formatting the partition during the windows setup.
    So you could make sure you have partition on the mac side, and then when setting up i the windows side formattig the partition space before files are copied.

  • Windows 7 OEM parallels and Bootcamp, installation sequence?

    So ive got a 2013 macbook air and planning on using the OEM licence to firstly create a bootcamp partition, and the having parallels run off the bootcamp partition. Now I understand I might have to go through the whole phone activation the second time. My question is ...what sequence should I use to activate.Should I activate parallels first after the installation of parallel tools or can I just activate bootcamp first????

    Karim.Foad wrote:
    Ok wow that's cleared a lot up ....I've been researching this for the last few days , and getting mixed views with some saying windows will count the virtual machine as a separate computer and they have all sorts if activation problems .But for the second activation , in parallels , the long digit phone activation should be sufficient ?? Because I really don't look forward to explaining everything to a Microsoft Representative
    Over the phon haha!
    This is why I originally suggested that you read the activation directions on the Parallels and Fusion sites. They address the issue of Windows thinking that the VM installation is a second installation of Windows when in fact it is not. This is because you are not installing Windows in Parallels you are only pointing to your single Bootcamp installation of Windows. This is an issue that has been addressed by the VM manufacturers.

  • Bootcamp installation with Windows 7 Home Premium x64

    Hi,
    Here's my Macbook specs for starters:
    MacBook Pro, Retina, 15", Early 2013
    I've been having a lot of trouble using Bootcamp to make a partition for Windows.  The problem is when I begin launching the Bootcamp assistant and get to the "Copying Windows Files" stage.  The following message pops up:
    "Your bootable USB drive could not be created.  An error occurred while copying the Windows installation files."
    So naturally I googled this problem across the web and forums, but found not a single satisfying answer or solution. 
    I thought it might have been the ISO, so I found another one, but actually got a Windows 7 Home Premium x86 iso (32-bit).  Nevertheless, Bootcamp actually worked when I used this 32 bit ISO instead of the 64 bit (both from the same source).  I followed all the steps and got my Windows partition working.  Except I couldn't get any of the drivers to work with it, as the manuals say it has to be 64 bit edition and not 32 bit.  Thus I uninstalled it and tried again with x64, but the same error as above about copying the Windows installation files. 
    My question is, how do I make bootcamp work with the 64 bit edition Windows 7 Home Premium ISO?  It's fine with the 32 bit edition (x86) but it complains about the 64 bit one (x64).  The irony of this is that the Bootcamp compatibility chart specifically says that Windows 7 64 bit is compatible with the MacBook Pro model I am using. 
    Or would going to the Apple Store solve this problem?  Would they be able to get bootcamp working for me?  I've got a product key but no disk drive or usb optical disk drive. 

    Hi,
    May I know if the computer is in a domain? If so, please try logging on with the local user account and see how it works.
    If no, remove all external devices connected to computer, and then please try these suggestion:
    Start up repair will take care of issues that hinder the system from booting normally such as conflict between existing software and Windows especially the third party software like an ant-virus. We could have a try:

    If it still persists, please try "Last known good configuration(advanced)" to fix the issue.

  • Windows 7 does not boot after bootcamp installation

    Hey!
    I installed windows 7 x64 on my MBP 15" retina with bootcamp, and the installation went fine but after the installation when it said " prepairing your desktop" it just restarted and went into boot loop, so I had to boot into mac OSX and make it primary boot. This have happend 3 times, and I've recreated the ISO image on the USB and I've deleted windows 7 and the partition and I have done the whole process over again (3 times) and it still does not work. Sometimes I get into windows 7 the first time and can move around the desktop with the mouse for about 5 seconds, then it says "logging out" and I'm back at the same problem.
    What can I do?

    If You Have Problems Installing the Device DriversIf it appears that the Boot Camp drivers weren’t successfully installed, try repairing them.To repair Boot Camp drivers:
    1 Start up your computer in Windows.
    2 Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
    3 If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
    4 Click Repair and follow the onscreen instructions.
    If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed WindowsLogo testing, click Continue Anyway.If you need to reinstall specific drivers, you can install one driver at a time. For example,if your built-in iSight camera isn’t working, you can reinstall just the iSight driver.
    Individual drivers are in the Drivers folder on the Mac OS X installation disc.
    To reinstall a specific driver:
    1 Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
    2 Quit AutoRun if it opens.
    3 Using Windows Explorer, locate the driver that you want to reinstall.
    4 Open the driver to start the installation.
