Cannot install Windows 8

Hello guys
I tried to install Win 8 from USB I couldn't ..



I tried to install Win 8 from DVD I couldn't ..

 

Just solved problem BY MYSELF !
installed using win 7 boot files ..

 

did you also solve the audio driver problem, where the audio is not found. (at least on the 2012 models).

 

If you run the Windows 7 bootcamp setup program, it will roll through and install all of the missing drivers including sound. The only thing I saw missing from a non bootcamp (native) install is the trackpad interface to control clicking and scrolling.

 

So when you say the win7 setup program, you are talking about the bootcamp drivers that you download and burn on a disc? or are you upgrading your win7 install to win8?

 

download the bootcamp drivers for win 7, install win 8, install the said bootcamp drivers

 

I did and I have this :




What now?
Ill bet u not gonna have answer

 

I dont really care, I was answering to a guy that wasnt you, which has a new model.

I thought that you were banned? too bad

but its a simple modification in the windows installation files, to answer to you.

 

I have a 8GB USB stick I created a month or so ago with Bootcamp on my Retina MacBook Pro. I used Windows 7 Ultimate x64 .ISO and the Bootcamp creation utility in OS X Mountain Lion to create the stick. There's a directory called WindowsSupport on the stick that contains all of the Apple drivers for Windows 7 and the supported Macs.

When I installed Windows 8 native, I wiped the entire SSD of my Mid 2012 MacBook Air using the Windows 8 Pro x64 Setup program. That includes the rescue partition for Mountain Lion.

Windows 8 Pro installed without issue. I then used Windows update to fix-up as many drivers as it could detect and fix. After that, I ran setup.exe from the WindowsSupport folder on the bootcamp stick. That fixed a number of issues including sound, backlit keyboard control, backlighting controls for the screen, etc.

The Windows 8 install was not an upgrade. It was a new clean install.

 

What Mac are you trying to install to? Is this Bootcamp v4.0 that you are using?

What are u talking about banned and too bad ?
Ar u realising what u wrote??
And dont worry I did modify it in orca you not only geek in the world

 

I saw you banned too. Maybe it was some mistake in the moderation and they reversed it before you knew about it.

 

Hi thanx for asking .
I have mid 2007 and i have windows 8
I have reinstalled it modified bud it wont install b camp control pannel.. even with modded installer
I had to change drive in mac book pro and reinstall but cant install.
I have boot camp 4.0 yes

 

Is this banning thread or thread about win 8 and bootcamp?

 

@Thors hammer

here is my short guide how i modded bootcamp files ..
But since i have removed ssd and put back hdd installed win 8 via lion it downloaded probably different package and when I modified them it just cuts in half way through YES ! Managed to install BootCamp in Windows 8

 

The Control Panel issue is widely reported and I'm sure will get fixed by Apple.

A mid 2007 machine is getting dated. I'm not sure I would bother trying to install Windows 8 on a mac from that timeframe. I would suggest making sure your firmware for the machine is current and check to see if it is supported by bootcamp 4.0.

Replacing the boot files from Windows 8 isn't advised. If that is the hassle you have to go through, is it really worth it? I think not.

 

Yeah am ridding of this 2007 and will be buying 2008 2.6 version..
Windows 8 requires less HW so it is smooth but apple crippled cpu to half so i use throttle stop to run it with both cores.. and using luboos fan control.

Yeah this I wanted to know .. can you please tell me how do i check my current firmware? And how can i update?
Because earlier on i made usb flash drive and i couldn't boot any windows from it just cd works..,window just pops up : firmware didnt allow or dont support boot from this device something like that
But I have made usb but mac os x That works .. weird..
And when i inserted proper win 8 cd boot just hanged with that option in my first post so THAT IS WHY I used boot files from win 7..
Not big deal..

 

This is interesting too
But if I say I will not mention Him… » Blog Archive » Install Windows 7 x64 on a Mac (beat the “Select CD-ROM Boot Type” error!)

 

Why? It is unneeded with the modern Macs. I have no issues booting any of mine from a DVD (external drive) or USB stick using the .ISO directly off the MSDN subscriber download center.

 

Oh yes it is jus tfor 2007, 2008 models ..
