KACE Product Support

I haven't tested this, but I wonder if it would work. Reading the original reply here gave me the idea, so I certainly can't take all the credit if this works. When I have a bit of time here I'm going to test this and see what happens.

1. Setup the source Mac with both operating systems
2. Capture the OSX partition by itself in it's own image
3. Boot the Mac into a Windows KBE via a CD
4. Capture the Windows partition
5. On the destination computer, deploy OSX on a single partition
6. Once the image is complete, run the Boot Camp setup. I think this is required to get the MBR setup properly on the drive so it can recognize the bootable Windows partition. Let the utility partition the drive, but don't install Windows.
7. When the Mac shuts down, boot it to the Windows KBE again from the CD
8. Deploy the captured Mac Win 7 image to the newly created NTFS partition.

Well, my process worked up until the same point the original poster got to. The BOOTCAMP partition does not appear in the boot menu, but it does in the Startup Disks. If I try to boot to it though I get the same error as above.

I got it to work! I was able to use my existing PC Windows 7 Pro 64 bit images on the Bootcamp partition of an Apple MacBook Pro. Here is what you will need:

• An Apple computer
• Windows operating system disc (for me, I used Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I would assume Windows 8 would work as well, but I have not tried)
• A boot CD or bootable USB drive of your Windows 64 KBE
• A captured Windows image. I use WIM images but I believe K Images should work too.
• A Postinstallation Mid-Level task to run a DiskPart script (detailed below)

LIST DISK
SELECT DISK 0
SELECT PARTITION 3
ACTIVE
EXIT

On my computer the last partition was number 3, but you may want to check your systems to make sure. Now, create a new Postinstallation task of the type "Application". Upload the script.txt file, and put the following in the Command Line box:

 diskpart.exe /s script.txt

Make sure in the Postinstallation Task Detail window you choose "K2000 Boot Environment (Windows)" as the Runtime Environment.

Now, just add this new task to the image. I made it the last thing that runs.

It's time to deploy! Here are the basic steps I took:

1. Setup the source Apple computer as a single boot Mac OSX machine
2. Once everything in the OSX system is set as you like, capture the image by netbooting the Mac into the Mac KBE.
3. You can now deploy the Mac image to another Apple computer, or continue using the source computer.
4. Boot the Apple computer into the Mac OSX (not the KBE, just off of the hard drive)
5. Run the Bootcamp Utility and partition the drive however you like. I used 50-50. Make sure you have a Windows operating system disc in the drive.
6. After the drive is partitioned, the computer will automatically reboot. While it is booting back up hold down the Option key on the keyboard to bring up the boot menu.
7. Eject the Windows Operating system disc and insert your boot CD or bootable USB drive of your Windows 64 KBE. Boot the system off of the CD or the bootable USB drive.
8. Once the KBE has booted, deploy your Windows image as you normally would on a PC. It will format the drive as NTFS, deploy the image, and then run the DiskPart utility to make the Windows partition active.
9. Reboot the computer. It should boot into Windows.
