Hi Richard,
perhaps the message translation in bullet 3 was not as conclusive as it should have been. In German it referred clearly to the installation disc and errors on that media. Removing the present installation, Boot Camp and Windows, and restoring again Boot Camp, Windows 7 system with installation disc, Boot Camp updates, system image etc would be now the 3rd time and I am quite sure we would end up with the same results.
Based on the analysis of the dmp-file from the first and later-on from subsequent crashes, which always showed the same results, we followed another thread which led us to a solution in Apple Communities posted by David 888888 on March 22 2011 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2780698?start=0&tstart=0 :
"I was getting the BSOD when rebooting into Boot Camp 3.1 after attempting to update Windows 7 64-bit security patches in Windows Update. I found a solution that was posted by an IT Consultant. The problem is with the Apple system drivers for mounting HFS volumes. These files are AppleHFS.sys and AppleMNT.sys. Apple needs to fix these drivers to resolve the BSOD issues. In the meantime, here is what you can do to fix the problem:
- Boot into Windows Safe Mode (at black screen before startup continue to press F2, then press F8 for safe mode)
- Navigate to c:\windows\system32\drivers\
- Rename AppleHFS.sys to AppleHFS.sys.BACKUP
- Rename AppleMNT.sys to AppleMNT.sys.BACKUP
- Reboot into normal Windows mode
You may notice after rebooting that Windows will no longer mount your HFS OS X volumes because these HFS system drivers are now disabled. One solution is to install MacDrive which does a better job than Apple's driver at mounting HFS volumes."
We renamed both files in our system and our problem was solved. The only drawback is that Windows does not recognize the mac partition and an exchange of files is no more possible, however this does not hamper us.
You will notice that in the Apple Communities discussions older Boot Camp partitions, 3.1 and 3.2, are quoted where 3.2 brought the solution. We are running now BC 5.1.5621 and the same bug seems to reappear. In our former installation we ran an older BC version which did not provoke the discussed issue.
We sort of destroyed that installation by trying to reduce the size of the mac partition to get more space for Windows. We did this with Mac disc utilities. After reduction, a new partition was created from that space and Windows disappeared and was not recoverable again. We had to repartition the whole internal disc and reinstall everything which led in the Windows part to our above named problem.
Last but not least, every body should be aware, that when you install a Windows partition you have to be careful in allotting space, because you will not be able to change the distribution afterwards without deinstalling Boot Camp/Windows, repartition your hard disc and reinstall Boot Camp/Windows again.
For us we consider our problem as solved. Many thanks for your time and suggestions.
All the best
