Re: podcast on installing windows with bootcamp accessibly
Hi, Simon: I think you and I are actually in agreement here, except that I think this has just changed with Windows 10. I believe Windows 10 now supports UEFI and GPT natively, which would remove this limitation. I can't prove it just yet, but this is what I believe to be the situation.

Re: podcast on installing windows with bootcamp accessibly
Hi, Anders: I don't think installing Linux as a second OS on your Mac would be all that hard to do. The diskutil tool makes it pretty easy to resize your drive. If you're OK with one of the Microsoft file systems like exfat, or some other fat variant, it can even format the new partition for you. I doubt most Linux people would want to accept that, though. So, with a second partition defined, I think you simply boot from a USB stick, or a CDR/DVD with your installation media, and specify the new partition as where it installs. That only leaves booting. I don't know whether the native Mac boot tool can boot ext4, or whatever Linux file system you would choose. It may not. There is a third party boot tool called rEFInd: https://sourceforge.net/projects/refind/ I haven't had the nerve to try this yet myself. Frankly, I really think I want the graphical Windows environment available to me for business reasons, so getting a Linux terminal is very compelling to me. However, if you do use a fat file system, I suspect the Apple boot loader would work just fine. After all, Windows is going to do something similar. Probably the safest thing, though, is to get a good dd backup first.

RE: podcast on installing windows with bootcamp accessibly
Hi Janina, It's not an apple issue it's a windows issue and has been around for years. Windows only allows for up to 4 partitions on a drive.try it and see what happens. I will say this could have changed in the latest release of windows 10 but it isn't likely. -Original Message- From: 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] Sent: Friday, 15 December 2017 8:11 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: podcast on installing windows with bootcamp accessibly Simon: I'm not convinced you're correct about the partitioning limitations for Bootcamp, though I suspect you may be correct for previous iterations of os x and Windows. Apple was an early adopter of EFI and gpt, whereas Microsoft has only recently joined the party leaving mbr behind. I'm further hesitant because the man page for diskutil appears a bit lax with its nomenclature, i.e. I'm still looking for clear definitions of what's a disk, what's a partition, what's a container, and what's a volume. The term 'disk' is for sure not being used consistently in the man page or the output of the diskutil tool, e.g. I have one disk on this Airbook, a 500Gb SSD disk. Yet the command output I reproduce below talks about "synthesized disks" as well as targets with identifiers like disk1, disk2, disk3, and disk4. Not very helpful, imo. Note, please, I'm talking about the command line program disutil, not the graphical Disk Utility tool in the Utilities folder. The cli tool provides features not available in the gui app, but you have to be very precise in your syntax--which is why nomenclature becomes so very important. On my last attempt to install Windows using Bootcamp, there was but one partition showing in the graphical Disk Utility tool, the main Mac agpfs drive. I had successfully reduced it to 224Gb, and left the remainder of the SSD unpartitioned and unformatted. I did this intentionally. I wanted to see whether I could trick Bootcamp into installing itself at the end of partitioned space, or whether it would insist at trying to install at the very end of available physical space. It turned out to be the latter. The below output demonstrates it attempted to create a Bootcamp partition at the end of physical space, and then failed because it isn't programmed to cope with unformatted physical space, i.e. it needs either apfs or hfs, I suppose. My next attempt will present Bootcamp with two partitions using all available space on the SSD. I'll go ahead and make thos apfs before I run Bootcamp, as it's clearly able to work with apfs from my previous experience.

Re: podcast on installing windows with bootcamp accessibly
Simon: I'm not convinced you're correct about the partitioning limitations for Bootcamp, though I suspect you may be correct for previous iterations of os x and Windows. Apple was an early adopter of EFI and gpt, whereas Microsoft has only recently joined the party leaving mbr behind. I'm further hesitant because the man page for diskutil appears a bit lax with its nomenclature, i.e. I'm still looking for clear definitions of what's a disk, what's a partition, what's a container, and what's a volume. The term 'disk' is for sure not being used consistently in the man page or the output of the diskutil tool, e.g. I have one disk on this Airbook, a 500Gb SSD disk. Yet the command output I reproduce below talks about "synthesized disks" as well as targets with identifiers like disk1, disk2, disk3, and disk4. Not very helpful, imo. Note, please, I'm talking about the command line program disutil, not the graphical Disk Utility tool in the Utilities folder. The cli tool provides features not available in the gui app, but you have to be very precise in your syntax--which is why nomenclature becomes so very important. On my last attempt to install Windows using Bootcamp, there was but one partition showing in the graphical Disk Utility tool, the main Mac agpfs drive. I had successfully reduced it to 224Gb, and left the remainder of the SSD unpartitioned and unformatted. I did this intentionally. I wanted to see whether I could trick Bootcamp into installing itself at the end of partitioned space, or whether it would insist at trying to install at the very end of available physical space. It turned out to be the latter. The below output demonstrates it attempted to create a Bootcamp partition at the end of physical space, and then failed because it isn't programmed to cope with unformatted physical space, i.e. it needs either apfs or hfs, I suppose. My next attempt will present Bootcamp with two partitions using all available space on the SSD. I'll go ahead and make thos apfs before I run Bootcamp, as it's clearly able to work with apfs from my previous experience. Here's the current status of my SSD according to disktool: /dev/disk0 (internal, physical): #: TYPE NAMESIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme*500.3 GB disk0 1:EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1 2: Apple_APFS Container disk1 224.0 GB disk0s2 /dev/disk1 (synthesized): #: TYPE NAMESIZE IDENTIFIER 0: APFS Container Scheme - +224.0 GB disk1 Physical Store disk0s2 1:APFS Volume Macintosh HD60.4 GBdisk1s1 2:APFS Volume Preboot 17.9 MBdisk1s2 3:APFS Volume Recovery520.8 MB disk1s3 4:APFS Volume VM 1.1 GB disk1s4 /dev/disk3 (disk image): #: TYPE NAMESIZE IDENTIFIER 0:CCCOMA_X64FRE_EN-US... +4.7 GB disk3 /dev/disk4 (disk image): #: TYPE NAMESIZE IDENTIFIER 0:Boot Camp +2.8 GB disk4 Simon Fogarty writes: > Hi Folks, > > Just remember one big issue with multiple installations on a mac HD > Mac os x and then adding windows to a boot camp partition > This is half of whatyou'll get away with on a device like this > Windows will only allow you to have 4 partitions before it gets problematic > Those four partitions include the MacOS and windows partitions > And I haven't yet seen bootcamp allow you to use it twice in setting up > systems -Original Message- > From: 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries > [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] > Sent: Thursday, 14 December 2017 4:55 AM > To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com > Subject: Re: podcast on installing windows with bootcamp accessibly > > I've learned a lot more since last posting on this thread. > > First, in response to Anders, I have been seriously considering a three OS > boot environment on my Airbook, OS x; Windows 10; And Linux.

RE: podcast on installing windows with bootcamp accessibly
Hi Folks, Just remember one big issue with multiple installations on a mac HD Mac os x and then adding windows to a boot camp partition This is half of whatyou'll get away with on a device like this Windows will only allow you to have 4 partitions before it gets problematic Those four partitions include the MacOS and windows partitions And I haven't yet seen bootcamp allow you to use it twice in setting up systems -Original Message- From: 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] Sent: Thursday, 14 December 2017 4:55 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: podcast on installing windows with bootcamp accessibly I've learned a lot more since last posting on this thread.

Hi! I wonder if its more easy to install Linux in a bootcamp partition such as Debian onto the mac. Has anyone here tried to have both Osx and linux installed so that you can boot into linux and then shutdown linux and boot back into Hi Sierra for example. /A > 8 dec. 2017 kl. 07:16 skrev Simon Fogarty <si...@blinky-net.com>: > > HiJanina, > > I don't think so as the installation of windows is actually to a new > partition which eventually becomes NTFS but starts the process as the AFS, > then after the partitioning in bootcamp is a GPT format, this I don't see as > an issue as the ISO file contains the required installation files and apple > can read from the ISO > > But yes I do see what you mean, putting things on to a flash drive will let > the windows installation work directly from that USB rather than through the > middle man AFS > > In all honesty the windows installation files can be found in one rather > simple smallish file > > -Original Message- > From: 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries > [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] > Sent: Friday, 8 December 2017 2:22 PM > To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com > Subject: Re: podcast on installing windows with bootcamp accessibly > > I guess as I think about this a bit more, I think I understand the issue is > access to the file system housing the iso image.

Re: podcast on installing windows with bootcamp accessibly
Yes, Simon. I think possibly a bad config somewhere. I think I saw a message in one Google search that specified a list of possible culpirt files, but I haven't been able to reconstruct that search yet. I ran both the scm and nvram procedures I found referenced. But it didn't seem to help. After copying all kinds of files onto the USB, boot camp got locked into a "boot camp busy" message for a good hour. I decided that was some kind of loop so blasted out with Option Command Escape. Back to the drawing board. I seriously want this to succeed. I need a hard look at the Linux support Windows 10 is now providing in its terminal environment.

RE: podcast on installing windows with bootcamp accessibly
Hi Janina Waw, I've never pulled the USB out during bootcamp so haven't struck that. I will agree though that the process is bloody slow, I always put that down to my internet connection Possibly you have a corrupt config file somewhere that needs to be removed to allow that USB to be seen again by bootcamp. -Original Message- From: 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] Sent: Saturday, 9 December 2017 5:23 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: podcast on installing windows with bootcamp accessibly Hi, Simon: I guess I'm just shocked at how slow and cumbersome the boot camp process of writing to USB media is.

Re: podcast on installing windows with bootcamp accessibly
Hi, Simon: I guess I'm just shocked at how slow and cumbersome the boot camp process of writing to USB media is. Frankly, I wonder whether there's just a log of old code there than hasn't been updated since the Pleistocene. It's also very unforgiving. On my first try with boot camp I stupidly pulled the USB without first ejecting, and boot camp hasn't forgotten or forgiven me. DiskTool is happy with this stick, I've re formatted and repartitioned it on Linux with no issues, but Boot Camp won't touch it.

RE: podcast on installing windows with bootcamp accessibly
Hi Janina Well in simple terms it's called drivers! Windows by default doesn't include the apple device drivers for all apple / mac computers in their ISO files. What the installation process does is download to the USB the apple bootcamp device drivers for the installation and then once that is done it starts the full installation, There ar some windows installation features but it's mainly the drivers on the usb. Once it's created you should have a look at the content. -Original Message- From: 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] Sent: Thursday, 7 December 2017 8:49 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: podcast on installing windows with bootcamp accessibly Strange that bootcamp needs one to create a bootable stick, given how long that process takes.

Re: podcast on installing windows with bootcamp accessibly
Strange that bootcamp needs one to create a bootable stick, given how long that process takes. It's quite common to install from an iso file, which bootcamp uses to create the USB stick. So, why can't it just install from the iso image like is so common in multiple environments, including with VMware on Mac, just to cite one example. Just curious.
