Re: Bootcamp question
Again, this is all true for 2015 machines and above. Mine is a 2014, and apple support, and a couple people who have experienced told me this, plus I have experienced it myself.

RE: Bootcamp question
Not quite true, You don't create the partition yourself But you do tell the installation how large you want to have the windows partition or should I say both partitions mac and windows. So long as you have your USB Flash drive inserted in your machine and it has the windows installation media on it then you will be fine. But as I said, You need to have a windows installation ISO file from which bootcamp creates the installation media on the USB Flash drive and will install from there This is all done through the bootcamp assistant And it's after the partition creation step that the machine will restart in to the windows installation partition / installation steps. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of KliphnShari Miller Sent: Tuesday, 5 February 2019 10:53 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Bootcamp question This is all true, except for that for 2014 machines and before, you have to partition the drive yourself, and and boot into that drive, then select the I installer drive yourself, then do everything as stated.

When setting up a boot camp system you, Format a USB flash drive as fat32 You also need a windows image (ISO ) file from which the bootcamp assistant gets the windows installation files / data.

Once you do this the installation will go through and as part of the windows installation you get asked to setup the partitions on the windows side of the HDD It should by default be a GUID partition which is setup by the boot camp assistant... Select the partition you want to install windows to in the windows setup, You need to check the partition sizes and then once selected you format the drive which will by default be NTFS if windows 10, Then follow the prompts.

Hi Jeff, Yes that is the way it installs things now although I believe the newer machines download the bc drivers to a temp location on the local machine.

Bootcamp question
Hello All, I’ve just read Christopher Hal’s guide on installing Windows via Bootcamp on AppleVis. I see some discussion of Windows 8x and mention of Mavericks. But was there a guide for Windows 7, or 8x from Yosemite? Particularly the post install sound issues? I don’t own fusion so perhaps the USB sound card option might work? I’d appreciate any Yosemite bootcamp experiences. Thanks. Gena -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: bootcamp question
I know there have been some recent posts about bootcamp and startup so I won’t answer those. If you want or security of FileVault for your Macintosh disk than every time the computer power is turned on, you need to login via File Vault because the encryption key for the disk must be opened. Note that file vault does not really protect your system if it is running and I believe sleep mode is also non-protected.

Re: bootcamp question
Sorry, now I remember what else I wanted to say. If you turn off file vault, then the macintosh will start decrypting your files, and once that process is done then the Macintosh will prompt for UserName / Password after the OS is running so that VoiceOve and other services are available on the login screen.

Re: bootcamp question
Hi, I may be able assist you in my solution regarding the boot order when I was running Windows in bootcamp. You may think about these. 1. You could set the boot default when on the Windows side in system preferences. There is a link called bootCamp and a contextual menu drops down with one of the options to restart in OS. 2. On the Mac side, you could go to system preferences, startup, and select windows in the table to restart the Windows side. 3. There is also an utility called BootChamp that others have used to switch between the 2 sides. I am not using Yosemite, so I can't help with your second question. HTH.

Re: bootcamp question, apparently win7 drivers are unavailable?
You need to format your usb device as a FAT32 file format. You can do this in disk utility by hitting command + space and type disk utility. You find your drive in the side panel and tab to delete, chose FAT format and a name and tab to delete key. Let me know if this works, cause i have problems with this version of Mountain Lion and a Passport external. Bootcamp says it cannot make a bootable device. I have done it once before, but deleted the boot camp to make a new. Now it will not make a bootable usb device. Have tried both with LaCie and Passport. OSX can read and write to them because they are from OSX to FAT and reverse. Let me know if you have luck and wich OS you are running. Soon i will try with a Mountain Lion wthout updates.

pretty advanced bootcamp question
Hi, Perhaps any of you guys have done something similar to this and may have some insights. Here's the situation: - I started off with a mac OSX partition, windows partition, the always existing EFI partition and the recovery partition, detailing 4. - I shrunk the HFS (mac OSX) partition to make more space available to Windows, only to find out that disk utility, and pretty much no other program I've tried, can enlarge NTFS partitions reliably and accessibly. So I ended up creating a new partition using the free available space with the FAT filesystem so it would be writeable and modifiable by boh mac and windows. - Then, as some may already guess, Windows stopped booting. - I later found out this is because of the MBR and GPT tables going out of sync. There is a linux/unix utility called GPTSync, which comes with the rEFIt bootloader, to fix this problem. - I ended up having to use a vinux live CD because mac OS wouldn't let me modify the RDISK0 while I was on it, and the MBR and GPT now appear to be in sync. HOWEVER - Since MBR is limited to 4 partitions and I essentially created my data partition between the shrunken HFS+ and the NTFS partition, it became partition 4 instead of partition 5. What has happened now, I think, is that the actual windows NTLDR partition, which is now partition 5, was not put in the MBR table. Rather, the empty dat a partition, partition 4, has been used. Of course, booting from this won't make a lot of fireworks flash so I am sort of stuck. - I can do two things: - I can delete the data partition, leaving me with 70 gigs of unallocated space, resync the tables. This will most likely give me my Windows back, but I will be back where I started. - I have to alter the partition order, so 5 becomes 4 and vice verza. I have no idea how. Any help apreciated.

Re: pretty advanced bootcamp question
Hi there, OK, if you're constructing a multi boot platform as you seem to be, you have another option to explore. this is the firewire boot to external HDD to run another OS. I do this on certain occasions where necessary as I don't like having windows on my macbook pro. I'd rather have windows on a pure windows machine, that way if something goes wrong, at least my mac isn't harmed. The way to go about something like this is to prepare an external firewire or USB HDD system (2.5 is a good idea as it's small and doesn't take space if you're a laptop user, or if you're a desktop user, then a 3.5 drive system would be best. When formatting, ensure you create the boot support. from your bot loader, use the external drive as a bootable environment to install to. that way you don't screw up the GUID and boot records etc for the mac drive. the boot system on macs is a little sensitive and should be handled with care. I've not had the excuse to create this exact situation which you've gone through on a mac but ther than the advice I have offered, don't think I'm much help. merry christmas and a happy new year to all. lew On 24 Dec 2011, at 12:08, f10r14n wrote: Hi, Perhaps any of you guys have done something similar to this and may have some insights.

Re: pretty advanced bootcamp question
Hi Florian, Firstly, and forgive me for going slightly off topic, but how were you able to boot a Vinux live CD on your Mac and have sound? When I tried that on mine, the system booted perfectly, but no sound would work. Second, regarding your Windows partition, my suggestion is that, if there isn't anything on the FAT partition yet, reinstall Windows on that partition, then copy your data over from your previous Windows install and reformat partition 5 as FAT to use for data. This should solve your problem.

just a thought on this.. what version of windows are you installing? if it's windows XP and above then using the fat partition, convert it to NTFS through the DOS installer method. that may require sighted assistance. if it's anything above XP, not sure. my experience doesn't hover over vista or 7 yet. still using windows 2000 / xp / 2003 depending on certain work. primarily mac lol. lew On 24 Dec 2011, at 13:33, Gavin wrote: Hi Florian, Firstly, and forgive me for going slightly off topic, but how were you able to boot a Vinux live CD on your Mac and have sound? When I tried that on mine, the system booted perfectly, but no sound would work. Second, regarding your Windows partition, my suggestion is that, if there isn't anything on the FAT partition yet, reinstall Windows on that partition, then copy your data over from your previous Windows install and reformat partition 5 as FAT to use for data. This should solve your problem.

Here's the situation: - I started off with a mac OSX partition, windows partition, the always existing EFI partition and the recovery partition, detailing 4. - I shrunk the HFS (mac OSX) partition to make more space available to Windows, only to find out that disk utility, and pretty much no other program I've tried, can enlarge NTFS partitions reliably and accessibly. So I ended up creating a new partition using the free available space with the FAT filesystem so it would be writeable and modifiable by boh mac and windows. - Then, as some may already guess, Windows stopped booting. - I later found out this is because of the MBR and GPT tables going out of sync. There is a linux/unix utility called GPTSync, which comes with the rEFIt bootloader, to fix this problem. - I ended up having to use a vinux live CD because mac OS wouldn't let me modify the RDISK0 while I was on it, and the MBR and GPT now appear to be in sync. HOWEVER - Since MBR is limited to 4 partitions and I essentially created my data partition between the shrunken HFS+ and the NTFS partition, it became partition 4 instead of partition 5. What has happened now, I think, is that the actual windows NTLDR partition, which is now partition 5, was not put in the MBR table. Rather, the empty dat a partition, partition 4, has been used. Of course, booting from this won't make a lot of fireworks flash so I am sort of stuck. - I can do two things: - I can delete the data partition, leaving me with 70 gigs of unallocated space, resync the tables. This will most likely give me my Windows back, but I will be back where I started. - I have to alter the partition order, so 5 becomes 4 and vice verza. I have no idea how. Any help apreciated.

There is no read interrupt in the config dialogue. is this a bootcamp issue or a jaws issue? I have 4 gigs of ram in this thing. Don't tell me I forgot how to use jaws! lol. hehaha.
