![]() ![]() Putting the 840 EVO back into the sled ports it works beautifully albeit slower. ![]() ![]() Mavericks works fine but boots with both the Mac and Bootcamp volumes listed as removable devices, on first boot it asked me if I wanted to use the volume bootcamp as a Time Machine disk (!) I can boot into OSX fine but even though the bootcamp volume is listed in startup disk it refuses to boot into Windows full stop, no black screen at all for BIOS emulation mode, only white and then an Apple logo that hangs permanently. Powered down, all seemed good - until I swapped the drive out to the Solo. Patched the MBR to enable Intel AHCI and found the latest Marvell driver so in Device Manager its now moved to the Storage Controller Section listed as "Marvell 91xx SATA 6G Controller". Refused to update to the marvell 91XX driver via Windows Update from the standard 1.0 AHCI controller. Use System preferences to pick Windows as the startup disk.Ĭhampagne is on very much hold here - got bootcamp all setup in non intel ahci mode and added the card empty. Enter the System preferences in OSX and make sure that OSX is picked as the startup disk. Once the partitioning is done BCA will reboot the computer from the Windows installation DVD When windows finishes installing, install the bootcamp support files into windows.

If OSX is booted from a drive on the Solo, BCA will not install because it identifies the drive on the Solo as removable. ![]() How to install Bootcamp on the 2008 MacPro3,1 It will update to drivers from Marvell 9182 chipset during windows update. The windows install will see the Solo as a standard AHCI host controller. We have learned via our customers, that nearly every Mac Pro 3,1 behaves differently.īelow are the steps that our IT manager suggests. What I do need to know is clarification of when a clean install of windows is setup using your controller is what type of controller is installed via windows setup, as every bootcamp install I have done apart from the very latest macs sets the controllers up as legacy ata-133 and they require the tweaking of the partition to enable windows to boot the controllers into AHCI mode to enable all the extra ports so windows can access them. I understand there are issues when accessing boot camp if the windows volume is on another drive not connected to your controller but my intention is to have the mac and windows volumes boot off the same SSD connected to the Solo x2 which on the 2008 Mac Pro will work and a mixed type of data hard discs in exfat, hfs+ and ntfs (non bootable) formats will be plugged in the standard SATA ports. What is the exact error message?: Hi before I purchase a solo x2 for my Mac Pro 2008 I have a few boot camp questions regarding running windows 7 pro 64 bit on my Mac Pro.
