Boot Camp error on Windows 8 installed on iMac.

An error occurred while trying to access the startup disk settings.

Resetting Windows 10 in Bootcamp removes MacOS icon in Bootcamp Control Panel I had to make a reset of WIndows 10 in Bootcamp becuse it was getting clunky that i couldnt log in for minutes. After resetting, the Icon to restart to Mac OSX is missing. Click on icon shown above in the System preferences to see Java Control Panel: If you don't find the Java Control Panel, then this means that you have not installed JDK properly on your system. My dad installed Windows 10 on my mac using boot camp as I understood. When I try to log in to Macos or see if it is there it seems to be gone when I turn the computer on, there is only option to choose Windows, when I select option of restarting the in Macos it says that it 'Could not allocate the OS X boot volume'. I did lots of looking and found lots of discussions with no solutions. I had a problem with the bootcamp (and macos) not showing up in the startup disk control panel and bootcamp setup assistant yelling at me. Sure, i could hold down the option key at startup and choose mac or windows, or use BootChamp to boot into windows. The problem was with.

OS X not showing up in boot camp control panel Hi, I am using mac book pro with OS X mavericks. Recently I installed windows 8.1 with boot camp assistant. It was all running fine. I partitioned my windows 8.1 drive to a new volume. When I did this,my OS X disappeared in bootcamp control panel.

You may not have privileges to change the startup disk. Make sure you have administrative privileges and try again.

Such errors can be quickly fixed by right-clicking the Boot Camp icon, then navigating to Run as Administrator. Did that fix? Quite surprisingly, there’s was no option to run the app as administrator. But don’t worry, the problem has a solution, though it requires a little bit of effort from your end.

There may be other ways to launch or open Boot Camp Control Panel on Windows 8, but below you will find a temporary solution that fixes the above error.

If you are not seeing the OS X partition while holding down the option/alt key during a restart, it appears your Boot Camp installation damaged the OS X partition, which is probably why it is not showing up in the Boot Camp control panel.
Do a backup. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then select the Macintosh HD partition and re-install the OS.

  • When I go to the Boot Camp Control Panel in Vista, OSX is not listed as a startup disk option, only Windows is. Also if I right click the Boot Camp icon in the tray and choose 'Restart in MAC OS X' that does not work.
    Vista Ultimate is installed on a separate physical disk on my Mac Pro. In OS X both operating systems show up as target disks. Both show up as an option when I hold the option key when rebooting.
    AppleCare had me re-install BootCamp in vista from the OSX cd and then run the Apple Check for Updates program (none found). This had no effect.
    So this mainly just an inconvenience. This inconvenience prevents me from using non apple keyboards as they don't have an option key or enable be to program the keyboard to the same. And since I have some minor apple blue tooth keyboard/mouse problems under Vista, I would like to be able to use another keyboard/mouse.

    I have the same problem not seeing OS X as a startup or restart option in Boot Camp. I'm using Vista 64 in Boot Camp on a 2008 Mac Pro.

  • I've been trying for 2 weeks now to get the function keys to work on my MBP (bought Jun 2009) using Windows 7 Build 7100.
    This is the 3 ghz MBP with 256gig ssd. Boot camp partitoned fine, windows 7 installed ok, and boot camp ran fine as well. I even downloaded the 2.1 boot camp update and reinstalled the drivers.
    The thing is no matter what i do, the keyboard function keys dont work. And i've noticed that the Keyboard tab does not appear on the Boot Camp control panel. The dvd eject button doesnt work either, the sound not working, and also the trackpad is a bit jumpy.
    I've researched a lot already for this problem, and it seems people do get Windows 7 to work find on a MBP (even with Vista drivers) so i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. Any help would be much appreciated.
    The machine itself by the way is incredibly quick under Windows 7. Everything is pretty much instant. What a pleasure:)

    I've solved the problem.
    The Boot Camp Support Software I orginally ran was downloaded straight from the Apple website so I thought it must be ok, but just to be sure I went back into OS X and downloaded it through the Boot Camp Assistant, switched back to Windows, installed it and everything game out fine! There must have been something Apple put into the software through Boot Camp but not their own site. All the tabs were there, the volume/brightness buttons worked etc.

  • whenever i try to access the boot camp control panel--either via the diamond-shaped boot camp icon running in the task bar, or through the windows control panel itself--i get the following error message related to administrative privileges:
    'An error occurred while trying to access the startup disk settings. You may not have privileges to change the startup disk. Make sure you have administrator privileges and try again.'
    is this because i am running windows as a virtual machine within fusion? obviously i'm not interested in the control panel for its startup options, but rather for its other adjustments such as brightness, trackpad, etc.
    i am logged in as administrator--that is the only account i have--and i am running boot camp 2.1 on windows xp sp3.
    boring possibly-related background info:
    - i installed sp3 before ever putting boot camp on my windows virtual machine. i started, of course, with boot camp 2.0 via the OEM leopard install disk, but even after that installed successfully, i could not access the boot camp control panel. so i plowed forward and installed the 2.1 update, but to no avail.
    - i even un-installed sp3 and rolled back to sp2, then removed all traces of boot camp, then re-installed starting from 2.0, but to no avail.
    google reveals that a few others have gotten this error message, but i've seen no definitive answer for any of them.

    Check your XP Task Manager to see if the processes are running or not. I found that I had issues with my Boot Camp Control Panel if I let it auto-launch. It would hang and not start properly most of the time (but it would sometimes). I removed the process from the auto-start list and put an icon on my desktop to manually start it, and it works right every time now. As for the special keys, etc many of those only work right once the control panel app running.

  • I put XP Home onto my 13' MPB and everything works except the Boot Camp control panel and the multitouch and special keys. When I put in the disc it loads and starts to install, as it finishes up and installs the control panel, it shuts down and doesn't install. When it restarts everything except control panel are there. Am I doing something wrong? I have reinstalled twice now with no avail.

  • I am currently asking this in Yahoo! Answers as well:
    I just used Boot Camp Assistant around a week ago to install Windows 7 Ultimate on my Macbook Pro with Retina Display (and if it also helps find a solution: I'm also using Mountain Lion). At first, certain keyboard functions that can be used in the Mac OS (such as brightness and volume adjustment; oh, + the trackpad functions) that couldn't be used in Windows didn't exactly bother me since I was able to manage without them.. until I started to play online games - which is the main reason I had to dual boot my macbook. When I already found it annoying to continuously click control+left click to perform right click, I started to look for solutions, and I noticed that most people online have said, 'Oh, simply adjust your settings in the BOOT CAMP CONTROL PANEL. There should be this DIAMOND in your task bar; click on it so that you can apply changes you want. It should be there after you have installed Windows..' .. Well, thing is: in my case, it DOESN'T APPEAR! 'Check your control panel,' they say. 'You will surely find it there.' Check for me, if you will, because I seriously have no clue why I can't find it, even after checking using the Search bar..
    Now.. why don't I have Boot Camp Control Panel? I find it really strange how it doesn't appear in mine when it does in most of other people's.. I kinda dislike the idea of reinstalling Windows, because over the week, I've downloaded several drivers and other applications (mostly games). Is there any way I could get it without having to undergo the process of deleting and uninstalling files? I need my Mac OS for school and office work (don't ask) and I need to have my entertaining pastimes using Windows. Please don't hesitate to suggest as many ideas as you can..
    Thank you!

    It appears from your description that you did not download and install the Windows support software. It was one of the first menu items you saw when you started Boot Camp Assistant.
    Run Boot Camp Assistant again and select the menu option to download the Windows support software. Save this download as described then install it from within Windows.

  • I'm getting locked out of my Boot Camp control panel under Windows XP with the following message:
    'An error occurred while trying to access the startup disk settings.
    You may not have privileges to change the startup disk. Make sure you have administrator privileges and try again.'
    Likewise if I try to restart OS X from the XP icon tray, I get this message:
    'Could not locate the Mac OS X boot volume.'
    However, holding the alt-key at boot up reveals both startup disks. I can boot successfully into OS X and XP using the alt-key, and I can switch startup disks successfully from the OS X System Preferences pane. Also, the Boot Camp partition is visible to Vmware Fusion and can be used to boot into Windows XP successfully. It's only within native Windows XP that the OS X boot volume is not accessible.
    I'm running Windows XP Home (SP3) with the latest Boot Camp 2.1 update. Re-running the BCUpdateXP.exe program to repair Boot Camp was unsuccessful. The OS X boot volume still can't be accessed from XP. Any ideas out there?

    Same problem, same error message now in October 2008. Running Mac OS X 10.5.5 & Windows XP SP3. Also running MacDrive and Norton Anti-Virus for Windows.
    Problem disappears upon reverting to WinXP SP2 using Windows System Restore. Imperfect fix, but it does work. Revert to last restore point when SP2 was working.

  • Hi all,
    I recently just finished an installation of x64 Windows 7 on my Macbook Air. My problem started with me realising I couldn't use the volume/brightness/etc buttons on the keyboard to control those functions, they simply acted as F1, F2, F3 etc. I opened the Boot Camp Control Panel to change this but noticed I only had two tabs, labelled 'Startup Disk' and 'Brightness'. I know for a fact there should be more than two tabs in the Boot Camp Control Panel but I have no idea why they aren't there. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I've solved the problem.

  • So I recently installed Windows 7 (x64) Ultimate on my MacBook Pro (mid 2012).
    There are no drivers, and no Boot Camp Control Panel installed with Windows. How do I install all of this?

    In Boot Camp (OSX) download the Windows Support Software, then install it in Windows.

  • im trying to install windows xp using bootcamp, but everytime i insert the windows disk, it reads it as a blank disk. i have mad a 30gb partition so im not over the 32gb, i had heard that was better for compatibility.
    is there anything i can do to help it recognize the disk? or do i just have to buy an authentic one?

    your mac seems to think you had installed windows before
    do you have more than 1 partition on your drive, if so, boot camp assistant will not work
    if not, restart your mac and do a pram reset
    open disk utility and repair permissions twice
    open bca and try again

  • I am following a Reddit guide to dual boot Windows 7 on my late-2011 MBP. I've done every step up to installing Windows 7, but there is no check box to 'Install Windows 7 or later' in Boot Camp. I've tried several other resources but none mention this. There is a 'Remove Windows 7 or later version' check box which has a description stating it can install a Windows partition as well, but when I select it and click to go ahead it only has a selection to remove a Windows partition. I hope I'm just having a brain **** here, because I've been at this for a minute and it's causing hair loss at 21. Haha.

  • I have an early MacPro running both SL and Win7 64 bit, each OS on a dedicated drive. I installed BC 3.0 drivers previously without problem. I upgraded the BC drivers to 3.1.
    Now, if I attempt to open the BC Control Panel, I get an error message stating I 'don't have privileges to modify the startup disk.' I have administrative privileges! I checked the properties of the Control Panel (resides in Win folder/sytem 32) and ensured that I have full user control. Also, I tried to open the Control Panel in compatibility mode with no success---same error message.
    Anyone with a similar issue?? Anyone with a suggestion to resolve the problem.

    I'm having same issue. I don't trust that simply adjusting Digital Vibrance is returning my colors to normal. This adjustmet just makes things grayer to me.
    Problems started after:
    Upgrading SL (10.6.2) on Mac side
    Installing Bootcamp 3.0 from SL disk onto win 7.
    Downloading and updating Bootcamp 3.1
    Colors all look 16 bit and saturated, though nvidia control panel says color depth = 32 bit.
    I've tried:
    Rolling back my driver to previous settings
    manually downloading and installing both nvidia driver versions separately (181.22 32bit + 197.13 64bit)
    Also tried going to control panel checking for driver updates (says latest is installed).
    I own eye-one display calibration hardware but don't want to go through this process until internal functioning appears normal.
    Any suggestions out there for me?
    Thanks,
    Mike

  • hello,

    Any way to proceed?
