BootCamp Prob (Re-installing OSX could fix that?)


Recommended Posts

Hi, I know this isn't Windows, I have my Mac since November (More or less at the lunch of the new unibody Macbook) and everything seems fine except Firefox that is ALWAYS slowing down like hell (Reinstalled it 6-7 times since I have my Mac....)

Other than that, my Mac goes fine right now IN THE OS.

But the problem is out the OS.

I had before a bootcamp partition but I deleted it.

But now, last time I tried to reinstall Windows, it crashed, and now it ALWAYS crash.

Windows seems to install then when it re-boot (in the Install), it says no OS is on the drive.

I tried many Windows Versions (XP, Vista, 7) and it all do this.

To make things worst, after I deleted the Bootcamp partition and that only the Mac Partition on the drive, my Macbook always boot on a (Bootcamp?) partition with no OS (Same bug as when I was trying to install Windows).

Meaning that I always need to press alt to select the boot drive (And there is only the Mac HD as choice).

Any solutions? Reinstalling OSX could help this?

Go to System Preferences > Startup Disk > and Select Macintosh HD.

No idea why this happens, but I've had it happen before too

As for your Windows problem, I don't have the slightest clue...

For your Windows problem make sure you are reformatting the partition in the Windows Setup and not just selecting it. Make sure to format the BootCamp partition as FAT32 or NTFS before continuing the install

It will appear to install Windows but won't do anything past that if you don't do the above steps. Sounds like that is mostly like your problem

That is correct. You won't be able to resize the Windows partition after you create. You will have to delete it and start over.
