I have Boot Camp Assistant on and Windows 7 CD in, but I keep getting "Your disk could not be partitioned An error occurred while partiting the disk" on the Partiting part. I don't know what I'm doing wrong and why can't I get it to work.
I have a Mackbook Air 13-inch Late 2010. Software is OS X 10.9.1. The boot camp I downloaded was Boot Camp 4.
MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
Read and follow the Boot Camp instructions? Boot Camp Assistant is located on your hard drive in the utilities folder. Run it from there. The Windows support software is downloaded to a usb stick and is run from within Windows after you get Windows installed.
If you still get the partitioning error please post the complete and exact message.
Do I have to own a Windows computer? That's one of the things I'm confused at. I only have a Window 7 CD, but I don't have any windows computer.
Exactly which windows version, and is it a retail, OEM or other disk? Upload a pic. You do not need a windows computer.
It was bought and downloaded. Then burned onto a CD. Windows 7 Home Premium
Start over again; first run boot camp assitant and see if you can remove the current windows partition then launch disk utility and confirm that you only see 1 mac journaled partition for your HD
restart and do a PRAM reset
open disk utility and repair permissions twice
download the correct ISO from here to your OSX desktop http://techverse.net/download-windows-7-iso-x86-x64-microsofts-official-servers/
then start boot camp assistant to put this ISO *AND* wiindows support software (all 3 boxes checked) on a USB drive
you will need the key from your windows purchase to activate windows but that can wait until you have windows running
good luck
It's still not working and now my Safari is quiting on itself and it keeps doing that everytime I try to open it up again. Something about "Safari quit unexpectedly while using the librooksbas.dylib plug-in"
Good thing I have a Macbook Pro on hand or I wouldn't be able to come on. Now my Macbook Air is acting funky.
If you want help, you need to be more specific. What isn't working before the safari issue?
I just chatted with the Apple support and they helped solved my Safari problem. It seems that some Rapport thing was downloaded onto my computer and caused Safari to quit on itself constantly. I wasn't able to use Safari at all.
Once I got my Safari issue solved, they also helped me get boot camp working.
