Format Usb For Bootcamp
Assistant: “Please format the USB drive as single FAT partition.”? up vote 4 down vote favorite 1 I am running the Boot Camp Assistant on El Capitan. Whenever I reach the third screen, titled "Save Windows Support Software", on which I can select an storage medium to save the Windows support software to, I am shown the following error message upon selecting a disk and hitting "Continue": "Please format the USB drive as single FAT partition.". I am using gpt fdisk utility a Transcend 16GB USB drive. I have formatted it as FAT through Disk Utility. I have tried every possible partition scheme. I have also tried formatting the drive as Ex-Fat, again in combination with all three partition schemes. I keep seeing the error message. There seem to be a fair number of people who have encountered the same issue, and for some it was resolved by formatting the drive as FAT with a MBR partition scheme. For others however this did not work. Any advice on how to make the Boot Camp Assistant accept my USB drive would be much appreciated. bootcamp usb disk-utility partition disk-format share|improve this question asked Mar 29 at 21:50 nholtappels 7115 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 5 down vote After some trial and error, I finally figured out what the problem was and found a solution. Hopefully this will help those who come across this thread with the same problem. The problem: Reformatting using Disk Utility did not create a child partition, but only formatted the whole drive as FAT. In Disk Utility one can derive this from the "Partition" button being greyed out when the USB drive is selected. In Terminal, the diskutil list command shows the USB drive having only one DeviceNode (labelled 0). The solution: Reformatting the USB drive using diskutil in Terminal. This is the command line eq

at a Windows error message, "Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style." So, now what? There are a plethora of articles on the internet http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/232993/how-do-i-pass-the-following-error-message-in-the-boot-camp-assistant-please-fo aimed at solving this. From using Disk Utility to delete and/or reformat the BOOTCAMP partition into ExFAT or destructive measures that require the formatting of your entire hard drive and reinstalling OS X and Boot Camp from scratch. Whilst others require complicated risqué Terminal commands. Its almost goes without saying that for most of us we will not be particularly enthused with destructive fixes because it is not uncommon http://macriot.com/mcrt/?p=2362 these days to have a minimum of a 1TB hard drive and even if its half full, it will still take about the average of half a day to back up and another half to restore it. If you're fortunate the proposed solution worked. If not, you just wasted an entire day (or more) to format and restore your Mac back to the same frustrating situation you were in before. What Causes This GPT Error? Lets look at the most probable root cause of the problem. You launch Boot Camp Assistant (BCA) and during the preparation phase where BCA creates a bootable USB version of your Windows 8/8.1 with Apple Boot Camp support drivers; it then eventually requires you to partition your existing hard drive. One partition for your existing OS X and another for the incoming Windows 8/8.1. Unbeknownst to you - this is where the problem starts. You see, when BCA innocently partitions your hard drive to the inclusion of a new Windows "BOOTCAMP" partition, on the surface it appears to have formatted the BOOTCAMP partition into a FAT32 format in anticipation of the Windows. Which is fine. But what it also did (unfortunately) is inadve

Sadly it won't let me get past the disk partition choice (even after formatting the Bootcamp-drive). It says: Windows can't be installed on this storage device. The chosen harddisk contains a MBR-partition-table. Windows can only be installed on GPT-harddisks on EFI-systems. freely translated What is going wrong here?

Also, i wouldn't recommend running windows 8 on a macbook pro, there are no drivers that are compatible with it. Bootcamp drivers do NOT install when the OS is up and running. –AlanTuring Oct 1 '12 at 1:07 add a comment| 8 Answers 8 active oldest votes up vote 15 down vote I was having a similar problem, the first time I got the same MBR error, rebooted and started getting a generic error to check the install logs. What fixed this for me was to format the partition using diskpart, opened a command prompt on the "select partition screen" and formatted the partition. I formatted it on NTFS and after that it allowed me to select the partition and installed successfully there. Here my steps: Start the install and go to the partition selection screen Press Shift+F10 to open a command prompt window Execute the following commands: diskpart select disk 0 (assuming 0 is the disk where you created the bootcamp partition) select partition 4 (assuming 4 is your bootcamp partition) format fs=NTFS label="Windows 8" (I didn’t use QUICK) exit exit Press refresh and you should be able to select the partition. This solution doesn't seem to work when booting from the bootcamp created USB. I managed to make it work by buying a USB SuperDrive and booting fr
