How to Install Boot Camp and Run Windows on Your Mac

By Michael King, PCWorld

•  
  

Shortly after the first Intel-based Macs arrived on the market, Apple released a tool called Boot Camp, which lets Mac owners install and boot their machines natively into Microsoft Windows alongside an existing OS X installation without running two operating systems concurrently--perfect for running performance-intensive applications that don't work in a virtual machine (such as Parallels or VMWare Fusion). Here’s how to set up Boot Camp.

Check for Updates and Back Up

Before you begin, make sure that you have the latest updates from Apple on your Mac.

1. Go to Apple's Boot Camp support page to see if updates are available for your model. Download and install if necessary.
2. Click the Apple menu, then Software Update... to install any updates for your system.

   Start by making sure everything is up-to-date.

   

3. Restart your computer if prompted. After restarting, check for software updates again until no new ones are available.

Because Boot Camp will be moving and reallocating space on your hard drive, you should back up any important data before you continue in case anything becomes corrupted during the process.

Run Boot Camp Assistant (OS X 10.6 or later)

1. In OS X, quit all open applications, and then open a Finder window and click Applications, Utilities.
2. In the Utilities folder, double-click Boot Camp Assistant to launch the assistant.

   Boot Camp Assistant will walk you through the initial setup process.

   

3. Click Continue to begin setup.
4. If prompted, select Download the Windows support software for this Mac. This software will allow you to install the most current drivers for Windows. Click Continue.
5. If prompted for your administrative credentials, fill them in. Press Enter to start downloading the software. After the download completes, save the files to a flash drive or burn them to a disc.

Partition Your Hard Drive

Once you've finished downloading the software, the assistant will prompt you to create a Windows partition on your hard drive. This action segments your hard drive to devote some free space to Windows, without interfering with or erasing your existing OS X installation. At this point, you will see a slider representing your hard drive.

Here you can decide how much hard-drive space to allocate to your Windows partition.

Adjust the slider to give your Windows partition more or less free space. Keep in mind that any space you assign will be deducted from the available free space for OS X. (Note: Windows 7 installations will require at least 16GB of partition space in order to install.) When you are satisfied with your partitioning scheme, click Partition.
OS X will begin partitioning and rearranging your hard-drive data, a process that may take some time.

Install Windows

Once partitioning is complete, and your hard drive is prepared and ready to support Windows, the last task is to install the Windows operating system.

1. Insert your Windows installation disc into your Mac optical drive. You will need to buy a full copy of Microsoft Windows; this does not come with your Mac purchase.
2. Click the Start Installation button. Your computer will reboot and start the installation of Windows.
3. Follow the wizard to complete a normal Windows installation. If prompted to do an upgrade or custom installation, choose the custom option. At the Where do you want to install Windows? screen, select the partition labeled BOOTCAMP. Then select Drive options (advanced), and choose Format. Do not make any other selections, or you risk losing your OS X installation.

Now you're ready to start the actual Windows install process.

If you have trouble installing Windows, you can refer to your Windows documentation for help.

Install Windows drivers

Once Windows is installed, you need to install the drivers you downloaded in an earlier step to make sure that all of your Mac hardware works properly in Windows, including sound, display, and wireless network adapters.

1. When the installation is complete, eject the Windows disc to remove it from your computer. If you have only an eject button on your Mac keyboard and it doesn’t work yet, you can click Start, Computer, and then right-click the optical drive and click Eject to remove the disc.
2. Insert the flash drive or disc you burned earlier containing the Windows drivers.
3. Click Start, Computer, and double-click to open the disc or flash drive.
4. In the Boot Camp folder, double-click setup.exe to to install the Windows drivers for your Mac. From there, just follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installations. Do not cancel any installations, or you may get errors. If you see warnings about certification or testing at any time, you can click Continue Anyway to proceed.
5. After the installation is complete, reboot your computer.

Choose Which Operating System to Start

Now that you have both OS X and Windows installed and functioning on your Mac, you can always choose which operating system to launch at startup. Just hold down the Option key when turning on the computer or during a restart to bring up the OS-selection menu, and make your choice by double-clicking either OS X or Windows

How to Make an OS X Yosemite Boot Installer USB Drive

   

•  

Now that OS X Yosemite is available, many users may wish to create a bootable installer drive from something like a USB flash thumb drive or another disk. This allows for several things, the ability to upgrade multiple Macs without having to re-download the installer, the ability to perform a clean install, and also the convenience of having a separate bootable reinstallation drive in the event you need it for serving a Mac.

Creating a Yosemite installation drive that is bootable is quite simple, but it’s a multiple step process. Before you begging, make sure you have the following basic requirements met:

Requirements

• A USB Flash Drive that is 16GB or larger which you don’t mind formatting
• The “Install OS X Yosemite.app” launcher in the /Applications/ directory of the Mac (downloaded from the App Store, but not installed)

Of course, we’re assuming the destination Mac(s) that are going to get Yosemite are compatible. Basically, if the Mac is capable of running OS X Mavericks, it is capable of running OS X Yosemite too.

How to Create a Bootable OS X Yosemite Installer Disk in 2 Steps

For the purposes of this walkthrough, we’re going to use a 16GB USB flash thumb drive, but you’re free to use whatever you want, and you could even use an external hard drive if you really wanted to. The convenience of a portable flash drive is undeniable so it’s preferred if you’re going to be updating multiple Macs. Let’s get started:

Step 1: Format the USB Drive to be Bootable

This is going to format the drive so that it will be a bootable installer, without doing this the drive may not be bootable. If you don’t want to erase the drive, find one you don’t mind formatting instead. When you format a fresh drive on a Mac it becomes labeled as “Untitled” so we’re going to assume that the boot destination drive is named Untitled as well. If for some reason you have another drive named Untitled, change the name or don’t use it.

1. Connect the USB drive to the Mac and launch Disk Utility, then select that USB drive from the left side drive list (be sure you select the USB drive you want to make the bootable installer from)
2. Click on the “Erase” tab and format the drive as “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)”, then choose “Erase” and confirm
3. Next go to the “Partition” tab and under ‘Partition Layout’ click on the pulldown menu, changing it from “Current” to “1 Partition”


4. Change the name to “Untitled” from ‘Untitled 1′ then click on the “Options” button
5. Choose “GUID Partition Table” as the partition scheme and choose “OK”


6. Click “Apply” and confirm the creation of the partition
7. Quit out of Disk Utility when finished

Now that the drive is ready, you can move on to making the actual installer.

Step 2: Making the OS X Yosemite Installer Drive

The next step will actually make the installer drive from the previously formatted USB disk. If you already have the OS X Yosemite installer application in the /Applications/ folder on the Mac, you can skip directly to step 3:

1. Download OS X Yosemite from the Mac App Store, it’s free (direct link) – DO NOT INSTALL IT YET
2. When the download completes and the “Install OS X Yosemite” app launches, quit out of it immediately


3. Launch Terminal app and enter the following command exactly, copy and paste works fine:
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app --nointeraction

4. Enter the administrator password when requested (this is required to use the sudo command – the password will not show up and it looks as if you’re not entering anything, that is normal behavior for the command line), then hit the RETURN key to start making the installer
5. You’ll see a series of message like the following, let it finish until you see the “Done” message – this may take a while as multiple GB of data have to be transferred:
"Erasing Disk: 0%... 10%... 20%... 30%...100%...
Copying installer files to disk...
Copy complete.
Making disk bootable...
Copying boot files...
Copy complete.
Done."

6. When finished and the terminal reads “Done”, exit out of Terminal, you’re ready to use the bootable installer drive

Sidenote: rarely, you may encounter a “can’t be verified” error, here’s how you can fix that.

That’s all there is to it. Your freshly made OS X Yosemite install drive will be visible in the Mac Finder:

Now you just need to boot from the freshly made OS X Yosemite drive, do that by rebooting the Mac and holding down the OPTION key and selecting the “Install OS X Yosemite” drive upon boot.

If the drive does not boot, you almost certainly skipped the first step which was to partition the drive as GUID, or perhaps interfered with the syntax in the command. You can go through the process again to be sure.
This allows you to update any version of OS X from Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks, directly to OS X Yosemite, with the installer that was just made. You can also perform a clean install (which we separately address in a thorough walkthrough here), or update multiple Macs without having to download it from the App Store again. Be sure to always back up the target Mac before updating OS X, whether to OS X 10.10 or any other version, you can follow detailed instructions on how to prepare a Mac for OS X Yosemite here. Enjoy OS X Yosemite!
The aforementioned steps have been tested repeatedly and are confirmed to work flawlessly with the OS X Yosemite final release. If you have any issues, run through the steps again, or leave a comment with your specific error. If you know of an easier way, let us know in the comments too!

How to create a bootable USB to install OS X Mavericks

 

Jesus Vigo goes over the steps to create a bootable USB to install OS X 10.9 (aka Mavericks).  

In April, I wrote an article on TechRepublic about how to create a bootable USB to install OS X. The latest iteration of OS X, version 10.9 (aka Mavericks), marks not only 200+ changes in the OS, but also does away with the fabled "big cat" naming scheme. However, the focus of this article is the change in the process for creating a working, bootable USB drive.

Creating a USB Installer for Apple OS X 10.9

Before proceeding, you'll need the following items to complete the process:

• 8 GB USB Flash Drive (or SD Card)
• Install OS X Mavericks.app (installer downloaded from Mac App Store)
• Apple computer with Mac App Store (OS X 10.6.8+)
• User Account with Administrative privileges

Follow these steps:

1. Using a Mac with at least OS X 10.6.8 installed, access the Mac App Store and download the Mavericks (10.9) app installer
2. Insert the USB drive into the Mac and launch Disk Utility
3. Click on the USB drive from the left-hand menu and select the Partition tab
4. Click the drop-down menu, selecting 1 partition
5. Select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) for the format-type from the drop-down menu (Figure A)
   

   

6. Click on the Options button, select the radio button for GUID Partition Table, and click OK (Figure B)
   

   

7. Launch the Terminal.app by selecting it from the /Applications | Utilities folder and execute the following command (Figure C)*:
   

   defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE;\killall Finder;\say Files Revealed

   
   

   

8. Upon completion of the USB formatting, locate Install Mac OS X Mavericks.app (downloaded in step #1 to the Applications folder, by default). Right-click the file and select Show Package Contents (Figure D)
   

   

9. Navigate the file structure Contents | Shared Support and double-click the InstallESD.dmg file mount OS X Install ESD on the desktop (Figure E)
   

   

10. Double-click the mounted .dmg file and locate the hidden BaseSystem.dmg (Figure F)
    

    

11. Go back to Disk Utility and click on the newly formatted USB Drive in the menu, then click on the Restore tab
12. Drag the BaseSystem.dmg over to the Source text box. For Destination, drag and drop the partition created on the USB drive onto the textbox (Figure G)
    

    

13. Upon verifying that the fields are correct, click the Restore button and select Erase from the application, if prompted to do so (Figure H)
    

    

14. The process may indicate in excess of one hour, but in my experience, the process takes significantly less time to complete (Figure I)
    

    

15. Once the files have finished copying over, the drive should mount automatically. Navigate the file structure to System | Installation and delete the alias to the Packages directory (Figure J)
    

    

16. Going back to the mounted Install ESD.dmg file on the desktop (step #10), locate the directory named Packages and copy it to the directory in step #15 (Figure K)
    

    

There you have it — a bootable copy OS X Mavericks on USB Flash Drive that can be used to install, upgrade, and/or troubleshoot compatible Apple computers. The process has become a bit more cumbersome, but once all the files are in their proper place, the USB drive works much the same. Simply insert your drive, power on the computer, and hold down the Option key to access the boot selection menu. From there, select the USB drive partition and press enter to initiate the boot process.

Keyboard Shortcuts in Windows 10

32 New Keyboard Shortcuts in Windows 10

Brad Sams asked me on Twitter yesterday if we had a list of new keyboard shortcuts in the Windows 10 Technical Preview. Here is what I was able to pull together for the keyboard junkies out there:

• Snapping window: WIN + LEFT or RIGHT (can be used with UP or DOWN to get into quadrants)
• Switch to recent window: ALT + TAB (unchanged) – Hold shows new Task view window view, let go and switches to app.
• Task view: WIN + TAB – New Task view opens up and stays open.
• Create new virtual desktop: WIN + CTRL + D
• Close current virtual desktop: WIN + CTRL + F4
• Switch virtual desktop: WIN + CTRL + LEFT or RIGHT

Scott Hanselman also did a very thorough post on keyboard shortcuts (hotkeys) for Command Prompt in the Windows 10 Technical Preview if you’re into that sort of thing.

How to Reset Windows 8 Password without Disk

Forgot Windows 8 password? Without Windows 8 password reset disk? On this occasion, how to reset password on Windows 8 easily and effectively becomes problematic issue. But actually the problem is not difficult as you think even though it looks very difficult, because of two factors. One is the new characteristics of Windows 8 operating system, the other is password recovery software. So it won't take much energy and time to solve this problem, if you follow this passage to do.
From the new characteristics of Windows 8 system to password recovery software, many methods could be found to reset Windows 8 forgotten or lost password without disk.
Just choose one and put it into practice:

1. 1. Get User Password via Windows Password Hint.
2. 2: Get into computer with PIN code, and reset password for locked account.
3. 3. Login Windows 8 via Microsoft MSN Account.
4. 4. Reset Windows password with another available admin account.
5. 5. Reset Windows 8 password with iSunshare password tool.
6. 6. Reset login password with iSunshare Password Bundle.

1. Get User Password via Windows Password Hint

While you type a wrong password, the password hint will pop up below the password hint box. Based on password hint, probably you think of origin password.
But the preconsideration is that you have set up password hint for user account password, when you are creating Windows system account and password. Besides, password hint had better can remind you and only you of forgotten password. The most important thing is that it couldn't like password, but has to be related to password.

As seen above, my password hint is email arran06@126.com, and my Windows 8 login password is the same as the password of email. So when the password hint pops up, I could think of Windows login password instantly.

2. Get into computer with PIN code, and reset password for locked account

PIN code is a quick, convenient way to sign in to this PC by using a 4-digit code. If you have ever created one, this may be the simplest and most effective method for Windows 8 password reset. Totally two steps are needed.
Step 1: Sign in Windows 8 with PIN code
When you forgot your local account password in the login page, sign-in options is provided for you to choose. Click the Sign-in options, there are two options, Password and PIN. Choose PIN, and type in 4-digit code in the box. Then you can sign in to your computer successfully.

Step 2: Press Windows +X, and click on Command Prompt (Admin) and Yes.

Dell Inspiron 5558 TouchPad problem

Dell Inspiron 5558 TouchPad

I just got my dell inspiron 5558 in the mail today. Loving it so far, but have a question about the touch pad. On my old laptop I was able to "scroll" through pages using the touch pad. I haven't been able to figure out how to do that with this new laptop. I'm stuck using the actual webpage's scroll bar. I will eventually be getting a wireless mouse, but want to learn how to scroll for the times I won't have mouse with me.

Ans -Dell

Please refer to the below features available on touch pad of Dell Inspiron 5558.

Gesture	How to do it	What it does
Tap to click	Tap on the touchpad.	Selects an item.
Tap, tap-slide to highlight or drag	Tap, and then quickly tap again and slide on the touchpad.	Highlights text, and drags and drops an item.
Slide to scroll	Place two fingers on the touchpad, and then slide.	Scrolls the page. Pages can scroll left and right, up and down, or both.
Pinch or stretch to zoom	Place two fingers on the touchpad and move them toward each other or away from each other.	Zooms in (stretch) or out (pinch) on the touchpad.

Dell BIOS update for 15R (5537) 5437A09

Hello.

Dell's Product Support lists a BIOS update that is supposed (according to Dell's web site) to be compatible with Dell Inspiron 14 (3437), 14R (5437), 15 (3537) and 15R (5537) laptops.
Dell's web site also showed that the file was relevant to my service tag (a 15R 5537).
I have downloaded the file to my 15R (5537): 5437A09.EXE
Ran the executable from my Windows 8.1 desktop, and after a short delay pops up a window saying that it is not supported.
Created a bootable DOS USB stick. Ran the file from DOS and same occurs.
If the BIOS update is indeed relevant to my laptop, then get it corrected.
If the BIOS is not relevant to my laptop (via its service tag) the correct the listing, as someone at Dell has incorrectly marked it as relevant.
You can view the info about the 5437A09.exe file at Dell's web site:
www.dell.com/.../DriversDetails;fileId=3465658173&osCode=WB64A&productCode=inspiron-15r-5537&languageCode=EN&categoryId=BI&DCP=DNDTAG

ans :
Unless you are having a problem, it's not necessary to update the system BIOS.  The version of the driver you have linked to fixes the following:
Fixes
- Fixed ee-erase behavior.
- Fixed USER PASSWORD HELP information.
- Fixed disable external USB 3.0 port fail issue.
So, if you are not having problems with these, you will not need to install the driver.
Additionally, the driver is only applicable to the following OS's, so Windows 8.1 is not supported.
This file format consists of a BIOS executable file. The Universal (Windows/MS DOS) format can be used to install from Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows 2000, NT, Windows 9X, Windows ME or a MS DOS environment.
Regards,
Robert

Beep-Beep sound when I turn on my laptop

By senthillscc on August 2, 2015 | Edit

I just have bought Dell laptop Inspiron 15R n5520. I got it delivered this morning. I red the instructions and did as it said. I connected the power adapter and pressed the power button. It seemed like laptop turns on but in the end all I got is white glowing screen and weird beep-beep sound.  Laptop is already charging for hours and it still do not work… What should I do?
Sorry to hear you’re having trouble on this new system.Beep sounds can be used as Diagnostic indicator.Two beeps on this system model would mean No Memory (RAM) detected.It could be while shipping the RAM memory got dislocated from the connector port(which is right at the bottom of the system).
This is where the Memory RAM is located on the system :

Try disconnecting the AC Adapter,remove the Battery,press and hold the power button for 30 seconds.Reconnect both AC adapter and Battery.Turn on the system.If the issue persists  and you continue to hear two beep sounds,you may need to reseat the memory (RAM),to ensure they are not loose.
You can refer to Owners Manual link below for steps to reseat RAM:
http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins7520/en/om15R/om_en.pdf
Let me know if you need more help,
Thank You
Thanks!
Ans:

The computer might emit a series of beeps during start-up if the LCD cannot display errors or problems.
Please refer to this Beep code Overview:

Beep Code Overview
Beeps	Description	Possible Cause
1	BIOS ROM checksum in progress or failure	System board failure, covers BIOS corruption or ROM errors.
2	No Memory (RAM) detected	Memory or Memory slot failure
3	chipset Error (North and South bridge error, DMA/IMR/Timer error) Time-Of-Day Clock test failure Gate A20 failure Super I/O chip failure Keyboard controller test failure	System board failure
4	Memory read / write failure	Memory failure
5	Real Time Clock (RTC) power fail	CMOS battery failure
6	Video BIOS test failure	Video subsystem failure
7	CPU Cache test failure	Processor failure
8	LCD	LCD failure

Hope this helps,
Thank You
