Windows On Mac:: Win7 Installation - Hangs On Expanding Files Dec 4, 2010 I can't get Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit or 32bit) to install on my mid 2010 MBP 2.4 Core2Duo 4Gb Ram 250gb hdd). I created a 40gb partition successfully, but I only have A DVD of Windows 7 Upgrade. I have an ISO (legally obtained) of the full version.

When I try to install from the upgrade disc with custom installation, not upgrade, I get to 'Expanding Windows Files' and then it hangs at 0% forever. I have a 320gb external hard drive.

I'm going through my first Boot Camp installation and it has been stuck for about 20 minutes already at 'Expanding Windows files (0%).

I have already restored my computer with Time Machine today. Still, no luck.

As soon as I set it down I got an error message saying files were corrupt? (I was fairly gentle).

(I haven't tried again yet as my macbook is only a day old and I want to mess around with it). Dec 22, 2010 I currently have a MacBook Pro and I am trying to put Windows OS on it using the Boot Camp option. I can download Windows 7 using my university's website, but all instructions for installing Windows using Boot Camp require using a CD. Is it possible to do it with it downloaded on the desktop, or do I need to put it on a CD/DVD somehow and then use that? I'm not sure if I can put it on a CD (with the stipulations of the University share program).

Nov 2, 2009 I just downloaded Windows 7 (64-bit) from my school's software hub and burned it to a bootable disc. I partitioned my drive, and was able to boot from the installation CD.

Now, for some reason, my copy of Windows 7 must be different from EVERYBODY else's, because when I start, it asks for the language, and then I click begin install. Here's where the problem comes.

I immediately get a dialogue box that says I am missing a required device driver in order to continue the installation. Please insert the CD, USB, etc. With the required drivers. (Of course, it doesn't tell me what they are.) Now, here is where I would put in my Snow Leopard disk, if it weren't for the fact that the disk refuses to eject. So, I can't even begin the installation at all.

Is there somewhere I can go on the disk to find these drivers and put them on a USB flash drive? Or any other work around for this? Jan 21, 2010 Just installed windows 7 on my imac, the only problem is that at the lowest brightness (set via keyboard and boot camp utility) the screen is too far bright!! Is there a way to low brightness via software?

Mar 21, 2010 I'm trying to install Windows 7 on my 27' i5 and I've been having a little trouble. I heard about people having issues with screens going blank, so I went ahead and followed Apple's instructions on the matter. Dataram ramdisk license keygen learning8701043 windows 7.

I put the files they said on an SD card and started into the Windows installer. But after about two screens, it says, 'Windows could not display the images available for installation.' Then my computer restarts. Aug 19, 2009 I have an old release of windows 7 installed via bootcamp on my macbook pro and it works fine and great. However I want to install a newer release and I am not sure what way it should be done. Can I simply run the set up in my current windows 7 installation and install the new release this way?

Or would I have to format the bootcamp partition and go through the bootcamp assistant again? Mar 26, 2010 Recently, I was installing Windows 7 on my Bootcamp partition, and the installation was going fine, but I ran out of energy so the installation was interrupted.

I boot my Mac OS, opened Bootcamp and erased the partition just to create it again and install Windows once again. However, when I loaded the installation from my DVD, I got an error message saying that a CD/DVD driver was missing, and it found no hard drives even after rescanning my computer.

When I chose browse, I was surprised when I saw not 2, but 3 partitions, one with my MAC OS, the new Bootcamp partition, and a drive called X: that was created when the past install got interrupted. I've tried erasing the partition in bootcamp over and over, but I can't erase it, even though Mac OS tells me my drive now consists of a single volume. Do I need to format my whole drive? Do I need to install OSX?
