Parallels should not cause any slowdowns when you boot into Windows natively. I ran into some things as most people will with so many different models and peripheral specs, but they were easily resolved by either the comments below, or a bit of trial and error. Three days is the longest the first install took, the second one was an hour and a half. It does work. But I think you need to pay close attention to many comments and questions below and adjust the instructions accordingly.
It is well worth that effort and extra time. Please help. Did you ensure that the external drive with Windows has the EFT partition too?
That is what is needed to see it as a boot selection. I got everything completed, Windows is running on my external drive, but installing the drivers is where my issue lies.
When I run the setup app from my USB the setup seems to be going fine, and then the screen goes black. When I move my cursor to wake up the screen its really dim. Tinkering around in the Startup Utility gives me the Bless Tool issue it is not a blessing. It probably was the EFT boot drive.
It said EFT Boot. Have you tried selecting that at boot to see what happens? Click through install as usual and click the custom install.
Delete all your partitions. Click new. It should create 4 partitions including a EFI partition. Continue install. Quit install before restarting. Restart mac. Hit options key. Your drive should show up. It takes about 3 hours but it worked perfectly. Bluetooth is no good. This is temporarily needed during setup. Sri, if you are performing the above 9to5mac. After step 8, this is where you split the main partition in two with a GB partition.
Then in step 22 this is where you choose the EFI boot partition and the Windows partition. The other partition you create can be used however… at least in theory! Do the Apple bootcamp drivers have to be downloaded to the flash drive every time you start over? When we use Vbox to install windows to the external drive we are no longer using the Apple BootCamp application.
I have been at this for over a week now and have repeated the steps over a dozen times. Well over. I had a similar problem on Macos 9. It was the same with the Bochs emulator. Just straight Usb adapter cable from the back of iMac to the bare hard drive WD 40gb made in What am i doing wrong? Heres the the thing, when using Bootcamp as normal, it need a single partitioned disk.
Bootcamp itself creates the windows boot partition and installs the needed drivers and draws a map right to the boot partition so when you put in the windows install disk it sees it. Does Bootcamp boot the disk or the Mac Os itself? VBox does not extract the files to the external disk. You do. When at the Win 10 desktop you would open the USB explorer and then find and run the exe to extract. But … Windows may not see the USB you do create, as in my case. Macs can read FAT32 though.
So you need the USB formatted from a Windows machine first. Either with an existing one you have or waiting until Windows is installed then make that your first step with your new system: format the USB and reboot to Mac. Otherwise Windows might not recognize the USB and will ask if you want to format it. Again, new quirk with formatting in Disk Utility?
A simple download the support files. Bootcamp is not used to install them or do anything else it usually does when using your native iOS drive as target. Think of Bootcamp as just another file explorer tool in this situation.
Open Bootcamp, ignoring the window and what it asks or tells you and select from the menu at top the action to download the Windows Support Files. Yawn… takes a bit. Any hint on how to get closer? Too bad. I think this because when i enable efi in vbox and start it hangs in the windows startup screen 5 or so seconds into the very start of install. Wnen i dont enable efi it installs and no boot on mac. The only thing i havent tried is letting vbox finish the install instead of shutting it rtght off.
It already has a direct line to the drive. Ray and Helmi: I ran into these same two things. They are buried in my lengthy replies below so may have been missed.
But … you DO need to format it from the Windows side once that is up and running. As a FAT Then switch over to Mac OS and install the bootcamp files, then reboot to Windows and all will be ready to run. Should be the same and for most people they certainly are. But for some people there is a significant difference. Same with drivers. But … for some systems or uses, the driver has key ramifications, such as in this instructional. So go with the Brand driver before starting this process.
Mine was Samsung If a new drive, do not use the one that comes with the empty drive. Ignore them. It is to present to the OS a clean slate so to speak when it reformats it later with the correct driver, without anything funky on the drive or any manufacturer specific formatting style. It will now create the EFI this time around because the drivers are now correctly ready.
For me having the drive formatted initially to wipe it clean was important before installing the new drivers in the first place. Then with the correct drivers installed, Mac iOS was then able to reformat it the second time with the EFI as it should. I have the exact same problem as Helmi. The SSD already has the latest firmware installed.
JuJu… you mentioned downloading the latest drivers. Are you referring to the drive firmware or the drivers the Mac uses to communicate with the drive?
For the Samsung T5 there is only one download and that updates the firmware. Where did you get your driver, please? You are correct, the original instructions above said nothing about the GUID but he replies below in several places correcting everyone to do it as GUID. I know he replied to Jared on August 28 and to Daniel on September 24, and a few other places. I was tenacious until I found a link for just the driver alone.
It is there, they always are, but are not readily noticeable or easy to find. Found it. For Samsung T5 however, I downloaded the firmware but did not install. In Mac you can look at application files by showing the package content in Finder, by right clicking on it and selecting show content. I only wanted the driver, and I hate being bamboozled into installing bloatware that the manufacturers wrongly assume will be helpful for me. So by digging into app files you can find the driver specific file.
Again, WD is more humane and offer just the driver to download on their website in addition to their bloatware. Thus, the shell game. Windows then recognized it when I returned and all Bootcamp drivers were successfully installed.
Exactly, I see that now. Not done looking yet. The drives manufactured application was surveillance and video storage. Heres the thing though, the mac can write to the boot sectors on it. I have booted from it and wiped my main drive clean on a couple occasions.
When I reboot holding down the option key it shows up on the list along with the main drive and the flash drive with my OSX installers on it, When I had Win XP on the main drive it showed up. When bootcamp installs Windows it only erases the disk its going to install on , not the whole drive. This is a nifty trick. I know it will work. Although it installs and runs just fine within the Vbox emulation. It may not contain all the necessary drivers.
Or,I may be shutting the terminal down too early or too late. Part of the fun of learning. If you had a new drive coming, do what I started to do. Then I reformat it — cleanse it so to speak, of all previously installed software and specialized formatting.
Then I can dig through the files I copied off of it for the actual driver. NOT the firmware or software, etc.
Dig until you find only the driver itself. I install that on my Mac, regardless if it thinks it needs it or not. Once Windows is installed and you get to the desktop, your Bootcamp USB will install all drivers you need. I found the same problem. The virtualbox was showing a black screen when trying to run with EFI enabled. My apologies to all for my typo in all of my replies. If the moderator could go into my replies and change those acronyms, it might save confusion for others.
My MacBook Air on Mojave tried installing windows 10 October update and April update and it keeps bringing me to the recovery screen to enter a password saying to unlock the disk. I am able to select the EFI boot and this is what happens. When I enter in my password it just restarts to Mac OS.
The external drive is a WD Passport. Followed all the suggestions with enabling efi. Any suggestions? I had that happen to me too. Each time gets easier and I went from it taking two days for just my first attempt to get me to where you are, to my fourth fresh restart taking only 40 minutes start to finish, sitting on the Windows desktop all set up and perfect.
The results and wrinkles of the install can be random because the series of steps we go through working with the innards of a virtual software, a virtual machine, AND the Mac OS, add in the code for a new OS on the VM, and then the timing of certain things that go on during the install and on the Mac side, and the several boot-reboot mount-unmount, episodes….
Unexpected results happen and it takes some start-overs to get a seamless and smooth performance. And today my son came home to tell me again how incredibly fast and flawless it is working even running all the CAD programs. It takes way more time to troubleshoot the recovery issue than it does to just start over from scratch a few times until it gets it right.
And when it does, it looks exactly like the instructions say it will. I realized with the Samsung T5 that it is very important to first install the drivers for the SSD or HDD on the Mac side and not trust whatever automatic install of drivers it does for you when you connect it.
Ours is Mojave. Wrinkles happen that fresh correct drivers iron out. I know nondetails why.. You HAVE to do this. And one of the drives was already erased and formatted anyway so I lost the driver. I was able to download just the drivers from their sites and installed them. Set the aside and ready to install but not yet. But now It was always created before going into VirtualBox and VirtualBox identified it correctly too.
I had to reformat again and reinstall the bootcamp drivers from the Mac side again. So I reformatted and redownloaded to the USB. Took longer than the Windows install. Lol Then Windows had no problem. My explanation of the Bootcamp USB wasnt quite right, but it is explained below in my post on January 26, pm.
Thank you for the tutorial Tom. I need help with the name of my SSD. I still need to get my bootcamp drivers loaded to my newly booted Windows system. Just now Windows would not recognize the file system on the USB and kept asking to format it. This may be due to the more recent OS X versions. Lucky me. I noticed it added 32 to the end. It automatically makes it a MBR by default, so there is no setting for that.
Then, I went back to my MacOS and it sees and writes to it no problem. Crossing my fingers. I have some important answers to many problems below that went unanswered that I will provide, so that any new readers of this tutorial can be helped through those things if they run into them. Followed all instructions. Windows installed to my USB3. When I star with option pressed only mu macos drive shows.
Is this a Mojave issue? I just finished mine on a MacBook Air with Mojave. The key to having it show is to make sure that EFI partition remains there when you install windows. You will see it when the Windows installer asks which drive to install to.
My reply to the comment just below Jason explains all that and how it impacts opt-boot. Hope it helps! I have followed your walk through x3 now and when I go to reboot after the win install and hold the option button down, I only get my Mac HDD. So I boot up my Mac and go to Startup. The Win external drive is there and I select it and then restart forcing it to boot of the Win external drive.
Any ideas? If my memory serves me correct, I believe it has to do with the formatting of the SSD, of which I ran into every problem with mine. You do this step when you are creating the virtual machine inside VirtualBox. I did it right after I selected the existing virtual hard disk file. You go into settings and select EFT there. I think in the System tab, but it could be the General tab.
There were tons of reboots for me, so kind of a headache. I went straight through from the beginning to end in about 40 mins. After four days. It sounds more cumbersome than it really is. Goes much faster each subsequent time. My notes on change required are listed here: medium. I believe he covers the EFI with pictures too. Really great work on his part. I also have some additions to what he shares coming soon. In the meantime leave a post with any questions. Any idea what i did wrong?
I have the same issue as Laura. The bootcamp. Please can you help me? Remove that file, and try that command again without quotes. I created the bootcamp. What I am missing?? Same thing happened to me. After you select all files from the drop down menu, you will be able to select it. So I get all the way up to the installing from the virtual box part.
I was able to get it all set up with a combination of tips from comments and the guide. Anybody than can help? I am able to install the windows files onto the external HDD, however, when I try to boot from the drive after shutting VirtualBox down before Windows is able to restart , I get a blue screen of death every time Windows tries to load, which then makes my computer restart.
Not sure what is wrong?? Any ideas or help? I was having the same issue when attempting to install the October release of Windows 10 Home, but found I could successfully install the April release. Windows10 is successfully running through the VM but when I restart my computer and hold down options the only option I am given is to select the mac startup disk and my wifi network.
Early thanks. I did everything listed here and everything worked fine. However when I restarted my macbook and went to the Startup, only my Mac drive showed up. Has anyone else come upon the problem that the April 18 Windows 10 update will not install on an external drive? Thanks for the great step-by-step.
I had to eject the external drive remain plugged in and eject and actually unplug the external drive a bunch of times until I was able create the virtual environment using the bootcamp. In other words, it took several of tries to make the bootcamp. From then on it was clear sailing. Hey Louie, Just wanted to know whether after installing W10 on your external drive you are still able to use it to store files in it like any other external drive.
You can but keep in mind you got the normal windows file structure Users, Windows, Programs etc. I suggest you to just start over from scratch. I had this problem as well when installing the October release of Windows 10 Home. So I have managed to get everything in the installation processes to work up until Windows Setup. Does anyone know how to fix this? Followup: I also tried Windows 7 installer with the same problem — the drive stops responding. Are there additional steps that I will need to take to make this possible?
I tried it, but unfortunately, whenever I try to start the virtual machine, I get the following error: 0x Still, I get the same message every time. Hey Daniel, I got the same errors, make sure the external drive is still unmounted ejected when trying to run the virtual machine. Other than that, try restarting your machine and checking to see if there are any flags in the security settings that you need to allow.
But, how do I fix it? I went through all the steps, regardless now I realize, I had done something possibly wrong. This is happening to me even though I have the support software on a USB stick.
Would love to know what the problem is. Or you might have problems creating the bootcamp. Else you might get an access denied error.
After starting the virtual drive, and in the Windows installation screen where you select the drive to install — DELETE the external hard disk as it was previously set to MBR if you followed the instructions. Then proceed with the installation. Thanks to the comments for this tip also. When I restarted my mac with option pressed down my external drive showed up but when I entered I just got a black screen with a blinking underscore.
I tried this but made no difference. Go and delete it and start over. I made the installation with usb. Is it because the win10 disk is MBR? Could this installation be done with GPT disk? I removed all partitions on the external drive, created a new partition and after that it worked.
And I would add, that you have to eject the WIN10 drive all the time. Thank you for this great how to!! Somehow, I keep failing at this. I just fixed this issue after a bit of tinkering. You need to assign your user ownership of the external disk. After this make sure the external drive is unmounted from MacOS and you will be able to add it to the Virtual Machine.
Joseph, I got the exact same error as you did when trying to open the bootcamp. So just go back to the Finder and eject the disk again. Is it possible to do this but partition the drive so I could assign part of its storage to windows 10 and part to storing things from my mac so MacOS? One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined. Now everything works just fine.
Hi, I did everything right, windows boots fine, but I cannot complete the installation process and subsequently install the drivers. Could it be that the hardware is not compatible and needs drivers? If so, can you think of a workaround? Hi—I installed to the external drive and closed VMware before it could restart. When I restart my computer and held down the option key, only Macintosh HD appeared as a choice.
Not sure what I did wrong. Can anyone help? Hi Michael, it might be to do with the partition map on newer machines. Look at the comments in the previous page, it will explain how to fix that issue. And yes, I tried 9to5 mac procedure using vm ware fusion 10 and Teyadi external ssd. Windows 10 in vm is unable to identify the external ssd. There is yellow exclamation mark as well in the device manager. Have finally been able to install win 10 pro. This is difficult for novices.
Above mentioned steps will work well with moderate users. A video tutorial or snaps alongwith steps will be very much helpful.
On mac, go to users and the folder probably computer name in windows is your home folder. Will be displayed as home icon. There is an error in the code where you have to create bootcamp. If you have anyway, then go to home folder and remove the quotation marks by rename the file. Then go to system and change the boot order by prioritising optical disk over floppy or hard disk.
Trackpad and bluetooth are still not working. Will update as soon as I find solution to this. Regarding trackpad not working soft click , its some sort of problem with windows 10 user accounts.
Go to user accounts, create another account administrator , log off from your default administrator account, log in to your newly created administrator account, go to user accounts and change the default account from administrator to standard. Now log in to your default now standard account and bootcamp control panel in the task bar should work fine. After the trackpad, you can again change account to administrator, if needed. I am unable to select the bootcamp.
Is there a way to use the app to create a. It wants to know if the choice should be dynamic, fixed or split. Hey, i got a problem with boot camp assistant. For example, if the physical disk is represented by disk3, eject only what is represented by disk3s1. Hi Jordan, if you have created the same vmdk file in the same location during a previous trial then you also get an error.
