I am sick of logging in here, and wasting my time, when it says I have a reply- just to see this B.S. You better "lern" some internet etiquette before posting another reply. I am looking for real help here!! NOT some jerk who has nothing better to do than to insult users, and make his self look like a total moron. So, gee, knowing that it will be a strenuous task, should show that I am familiar with replacing hard drives!įor goodness sakes, PLEASE please PLEASE stop replying if you are only going to belittle yourself, and make stupid nonsense comments!!!! "I have a new hard drive, but gosh it's an all day job and requires disassembling the entire computer." Once again, did you even READ THE POSTS? Like I said already, I have had a Mac since they were just "Apple" 27 yrs ago !!! and Very plainly, in black and white - my last posts clearly states: I was looking for some suggestions as to what might be WRONG that I can FIX before I replace it.

Maybe bootcamp only likes MBR partitions ~ hope this solves your issue.Obviously I already know how to replace a hard drive. Then finally apply the settings and let the drive partition. At the bottom click options and select "Master Boot Record".
Apple is a hardware company, not a software company. They don't want to sell OS X, they want to sell Macs. as you did before ~ OS X Extended for Time Machine, ExFAT or Free space for Windows. But is it Apple which won't allow to install OS X on windows Yes, it is because of Apple. Go into Disk Utility, select the external drive and click on the partition tab. Well according to Steve Jobs, Apple is 'fundamentally a software company.' But the secret behind Apple is that they make both the hardware and software. For further investigation, a visit to your local computer repair store might be in order. It's also possible that the motherboard, processor or video graphics is the cause of the freezing. Since you only used Time Machine so far and Windows couldn't even access the drive I assume you have no problem with formatting the drive again losing all data currently stored on it? They don't want to sell OS X, they want to sell Macs. If your PC has an optical disk drive, it's recommended you use that drive for the installation of Windows along with an official Windows installation CD disk. Maybe it's a derp from bootcamp? Anyway, the options you were reading up on are most likely the solution to your problem. I partitioned a drive with one OS X Extended partition, one ExFAT using the GUID partition scheme and Windows detected the ExFAT partition right away. I am a bit surprised you are having issues because your iMac and OS X version suggests that the drive is most likely formatted using the GUID/GPT partition scheme which Windows 7 should have no issues with reading.Īctually, being curious I just tested it with Lion and Windows 7 (no bootcamp): A notification message will appear, click on Yes.
Activate the option below Developer Mode. What do I need to do in order for Windows to see the necessary partition?īeen reading up on the different "options" for the partitions i.e. Go to the last option on the left For developers and check the settings.

If the Software Update tool fails, the first thing to do is make sure your Mac is connected to. Just shows the entire ext HD unallocated. Your Mac must be connected to the Internet to download updates. I ran Disk Management and saw the ext HD listed but it did not show any partitions. Once Windows 7 started I opened up My Computer and I did not see the ext HD listed. I did not eject and unplug the ext HD before restarting, not sure if it played into my problem or not but thought I'd mention.

Named the top partition Mac and chose the format Mac OS Extended (Journaled), named the bottom Windows and chose the format NTSF.Īfter running Time Machine on the Mac partition I restarted the iMac to Windows 7. Used Disk Utility to partition the ext HD 50/50.

I looked up about the different HD formats for Mac and Windows. Make sure that the SSD is attached correctly, with all. The only thing you’ll need to check is the number of free blocks before the partition. Its possible but depends on your system whether it supports Mac OS or No. One solution you can start with when you can’t install Windows 10 on SSD is to perform a clean install to a partition of the right size on an HDD, and clone that to the SSD. Time Machine does not work with the Paragon driver the ext HD came with so I decided to partition it into two parts one for Mac, the other for Windows. If you could install macOS on your device you can do anything you want.

Bought a Seagate Backup Plus external USB HD for extra space for games on the Windows 7 end and Time Machine for her iMac. Practically speaking, this is the reason, outside of some other specific things that might be different such as video card firmware for video cards and OS X specific drivers for various things (sound cards come to mind) that you can’t ‘just’ boot a vanilla copy of OS X right on your beige box pc. We partitioned her HD to run bootcamp with Windows 7 to play some games. My wife has an iMac with OS X Lion on it.
