3 problems in 1 Post! WOHO!

[hishat]

Hi guys, hope everyone is doing well and looking after themselves.

Ok lets get to the point, i have 3 issues and will state them clearly so that you people can read it and hopefully shine some guidance for me.

1) I partitioned my HD so that i could install Windows Vista, everything went smoothly until i installed the drivers from the mac boot discs, now once vista boots i get the blue screen of death, which also tells me something about my display??

2) which type of operating system should i install on a Early 2009 Unibody Macbook Pro 2.4ghz.

3) After deleting my windows vista partition in order to recreate a windows xp one, i get an error saying that bootcamp can not partition my HD, any way around this??

Many Many Thanks in advance guys!

send it to apple...you need a new logicboard....

joking...you need to do a time machine backup and reformat the drive, restore from time machine. this will allow you to re-do your layout with bootcamp assistant.

Windows vista should install without problem, you might have done somthing to corrupt the windows partiiton by mistake.

i would start from fresh.

Try repairing the disk permissions via disk utility, and try again. I had this same issue and a disk permission repair fixed the issue.

this is what the error looks like

Try what ^^^ said, then if that doesn't work ... You'll have to back up the drive using time machine, erase and install OS X again from the backup.

do as Markov stated, I had the same problem a few weeks ago after deleting my entire XP partition months earlier. After the disk permission, it went without a problem.

I think I remember defraging to fix that problem long ago.

You should also use Windows 7 if you can.

3 ways to fix this BootCamp issue:

1) Backup your files and restore it (either by reinstallation and manual restore or use Time Machine and restore the whole drive)
2) Defragment the drive and use the compact method (basically clumps everything together to the front)—this method is very bad since it disrupt the metadata and disrespect the file system optimizations. Computer will be a bit slower.
3) Delete a lot of file and hope for the best (may not always work).
