When I try to install windows 8 release preview with bootcamp again bootcamp does the partition, creates the bootable usb key from the iso and download the windows software I get the error message : "The selected disk has an MBR partition table.

Have you tried booting to a lion recovery HD and repair the volume? Deleting, resizing or adding a volume should force the disk utility to rewrite the partition table and hopefully correct the error. Thanks : booting off of a lion recovery usb key did the trick. I was able to resize the partition which eliminated the error. Now i'm stuck with a black screen after windows 8 rebooted but that's an entirely different issue : — Shigar Kenze.

Go ahead and answer this. I can answer it too, but uou had to test it so go ahead and answer I you want. Nor does Apple's software udpate in Windows seem to be used for Boot Camp related drivers. Jun 17, AM. Have you solved your problem yet? I have same problem for macbook air mid , I can't access bootcamp control panel in Window 8 Release Review.

So, I can't setup the track pad for right click, tap to click Jul 2, AM. However, seems like the situation isn't too bad. There isn't a way for us to tap to click unless apple officially fix the boot camp Not sure if you had any problem with keyboard. In case you have, my approach to solve the problem is to uninstall the keyboard driver installed by boot camp.

This will turn all those F1-F12 to work normally without needing Fn to be pressed. Also, I installed a software called KeyTweak free to alter the position of my Command and Option key so that it acts more like regular keyboard.

Also I mapped right Command to Delete key. Of course, Apple should be hurry to fix these issues but in the mean time, these are the tips I can give you.

Jul 2, PM. I just have problem with the trackpad. I can't use the two fingers, secondary click without setup in the Trackpad-Bootcamp Control Panel frist. My keyboard, Fn function, Brightness, Volume work fine. However, after changing the Bootcamp properties, reinstall it many times, my bootcamp doesn't start automatically when start up, I have to open it manually. So I can not modify the brightness and the trackpad. I believe the brightness somehow is relating to the display driver since there is no display driver for windows 8 now.

You should be able to enable trackpad. Jul 3, AM. Jul 3, PM in response to windx In response to windx. About the brightness, what graphics card are you using? It might be due to the auto adjusting brightness running there. After that, the scrollbar for adjusting brightness in power options should work again.

Windows requires that at least one user is admin on the box this maks sense. So to change the boot camp settings on your primary admin accout, what you do is: 1. Log in to secondary account, and change your primary user to standard user 3.

Log in to primary user 4. Make your bootcamp changes using the control panel 5. Log of you primary account and log in to secondary admin acount. Change your primary user to back to admin This works for me every time. Jul 19, PM in response to tjementum In response to tjementum Bingo, tjmentium, that does the trick!

Create a shortcut to this file and save it in the start menu or on your desktop. Use this shortcut to start the Control Panel the icon tray icon still does not work So basically we run a Command Prompt in Admin mode, and use this to start the applecontrolpanel.
