Boot Camp Trouble: 7 Pro x64 SP1 won't install from OEM Disc

Hey Apple Support Community,
So I am trying to install a fresh copy of Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64 onto my Mac (specs below), but I run into the same error every time. During the "Expanding Windows Files," phase I get an error message:
Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070570
The particulars of my setup are as follows:
• Late 2008/Early 2009 Unibody Macbook Pro
• 2.66Ghz C2D
• 8GB RAM (OWC)
• 240 GB SSD replacing the original HDD (OWC, running 10.7.3)
• 1 TB HDD replacing the optical drive (WD, partitioned 150GB for Windows install)
• External USB enclosure w/ Apple Superdrive (OWC)
• Install source is a System Builder DVD of Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64.
I know that pretty much the exact same scenario is detailed in another thread (linked below), but I just wanted to make sure that there wasn't any option I was overlooking before I attempted to source a new installer.
Thanks so much for taking the time to help!

Did you see thread of another person with trouble installing?
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3808299?tstart=0
Things to try:
reseat the RAM - been there, done that with someone. Even though said it was "fine" and worked in OS X. Their RAM was not fully seated. On PCs it is not unheard of to remove some RAM during install, or use to be.
If you have two drives - unplug one (the SSD). Having two GPT is an issue. Sounds like this is NOT an issue though.
External Superdrive: not an issue, seems you were able to boot from DVD.
Otherwise, you need to edit a plist, not supported by Apple otherwise (there is a thread on how to add your MacBook Pro model number)
SP1 has been an issue for some systems - not sure why and horrible seeing it is newer and is the current version, but their system did work with pre-SP1
This is a DVD you bought, not one you burned. We all know by now the issue surrounding burning an ISO with Disk Utility.
I'm grabiing at straws but does any of that give you any ideas?

Boot Camp, Vista Ultimate x64 SP1, 2009 Mac Pro Quad 2.93, ATI 4870 HD

Hello All,
I’ve run into a problem installing Boot Camp with Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 on my early 2009 Mac Pro Quad 2.93 with Apple’s ATI Radeon 4870 HD (the one with one DVI and one mini-display). I followed the instructions from the Boot Camp Installation and Setup Guide, and everything was going great until I hit page 12 of the Guide (Step 3). The Boot Camp drivers installed without error, and prompted me to reboot. Upon rebooting onto the newly installed Vista x64 partition, the screen went black after the chkdsk screen appeared. I can boot into Vista safe mode, but booting into Vista normally results in the black screen. On a hunch, while in safe mode, I uninstalled the ATI video drivers installed by Boot Camp. I was then able to boot Vista normally, but only with the standard VGA adapter. Then I tried installing the latest 9.4 ATI drivers from the chipset vendor, AMD, http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx. Booting normally after the ATI chipset drivers were installed left me with a mostly black screen, and a few swizzles of horizontal color, but not enough to make out any sort of image. Once again, I was able to boot normally by first booting into safe mode and then uninstalling the ATI driver, leaving me with the standard VGA driver.
The displays I have tried so far are 1) Apple Cinema HD 23”, and 2) Apple Cinema 20”. Also, I have tried all 6 permutations with the ports on the Apple version of the ATI Radeon 4870 HD with both displays (using the mini-display to DVI adapter), 2 permutations with both displays, and 4 permutations with single displays. All permutations result in the same black screen after installing Boot Camp drivers.
Am I missing something? It seems to me that there is a display driver that needs to come from Apple that will work with the Apple version of the ATI Radeon 4870 HD in Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 attached to an Apple display. I’ve installed Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 and many other operating systems in the past 27 years of working with computers, and typically with video cards I’ve had to get the drivers from the vendor that shipped the card, not the chipset vendor. Sure, occasionally the opposite is true, and I don’t mind spending a few days to figure out what works best for me as long as I believe I am making progress.
Has anyone else run into this problem with his or her early 2009 Mac Pro Quad 2.93 with Apple’s ATI Radeon 4870 HD? I’m posting this in the Boot Camp forum as I think this problem is rooted in the Boot Camp drivers, specifically for the Apple ATI Radeon 4870 HD. Please let me know if I should post elsewhere.

You are the second person I think I've seen with trouble using Mac Pro and ATI drivers (other was on Mac Pro forum).
When updating graphics, there are extra steps that insure you get the best working drivers.
I've always found Apple to be behind the curve on Windows support. Drivers that come with a card from the vendor ususally means ATI or Nvidia, and even then, you go to the web and download and install the latest tested / beta / qualified drivers. Some people try a variety of driver versions to find the one that works best.
Apple has not been updating Boot Camp drivers for Late 2008 and on Macs. Boot Camp 2.1 is now over a year old. What is on your OEM Leopard DVD is the only drivers I would use - if at all! try without is what some do, and then see if you can selectively install. Under Windows 7, I don't need or install, and now with the RC/7077 version of 7, Microsoft 'blocks' installing Apple Boot Camp drivers as known to cause problems.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Unistall the various Apple services, drivers, startup items that you can live without or until you narrow it down. iTunes 8.1+ in Windows can break and prevent ability to even use optical drives and devices for instance.
Some tips for upgrading drivers, one from eVGA forum but should translate.

Acrobat 9 Professional won't install from CS4 discs

I am not able to install Acrobat 9 Pro from my CS4 DVDs. All of the other programs install.
I have tried the following:
- Uninstalled all other versions of Acrobat Professional
- Copied the DVDs to the desktop and tried installing from there
- Used the Microsoft Windows Installer Utility (could not find any references to Acrobat Professional)
- Disabled anti-virus software
- Disabled Windows startup services that might conflict
Nothing has worked.
I found something online that indicated the problem might be a corrupt data1.cab file.
Does anyone have suggestions on what I can try next?
Thank you!

The Acrobat 9 download won't accept my CS4 license. What I ended up doing was jumping through several hoops to get this to work:
Edited Acrobat out of the registry - no change, still pauses during installation
Uninstall CS4 entirely
Run Adobe CS4 Clean Script - see http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
Run Microsoft Installer Cleanup program
Reinstall CS4 including Acrobat
Neither the registry edit, Clean Script or Microsoft installer cleanup fix the problem on their own. Yet, when I did them all in succession, Acrobat installed successfully - finally! I hope this information spares someone else from investing too many hours to fix their installation problem.

Elements 6 won't install from Bamboo Disc

Our school recently bought some Wacom tablets that had Elements 6 as additional software on the Bamboo disc. I have a lab of 10 new iMacs running Snow Leopard. 4 out of the 10 computers will not load Elements 6. When I double click on the Setup icon it bounces in the dock for a few seconds, then just stops. These are all the same computers, with the same software, can't figure out why some won't install. Can't be the discs as the disc that works on one machine won't work on another. These computers have never had a different version of Elements. Any help?? Thanks.

It still won't work. I took the computers off the network, same problem. Typically what happens is the setup icon bounces in the dock, but never asks for admin credentials. On one of the computers, I tried again to double click on the setup icon and nothing happens, it appears as though the app tries to launch (happens very quickly) but then nothing, no bouncing in the dock.

Recovery = Windows won't install from recovery discs

I have a dv6, performed recovery off the purchased 2 discs, and it says Windows won't install. Also, will not let me log into administrator...says my account has been disabled. Need help asap, on roomies pc.

I also tried using a HP Windows Recovery Disk from HP for my HP G71-340US Notebook Computer, but it repeatedly fails the installation with the message:
"No OS Flag Set on Unit. Please use EEPROM to set OS SKU value = 2. Error RStone S Update SRU option configuration is invalid, Loc # cound not be found in product #. Next step: Please use EEPROM to set Loc # in either SKU # or CTO localization code".
This occurs repeatedly when trying to run the Recovery Disk from HP.
I believe there is an EEPROM problem, but I do not know what to try next. I have backed up all my persoal data, but everything is wipped off the hard disk, currently. I can get into the BIOS, but that does not seem to be of any help. HP tech support is of no help.
Thanks for any help or recommendations.

No bootable device boot camp macbook pro retina 10.8.4

Hi,
I am reposting this under this community instead of under os x system software since it looks like there is no way to move posts to a different community. Anyway, just bought a brand new Macbook Pro with retina display running 10.8.4. I have always been a PC guy so I wanted to create a small Windows 7 Professional edition partition. I am using bootcamp to try and install it but I keep getting the above no bootable device black screen when boot camp restarts the mac to boot from the usb. My flash drive is a Kingston Data Traveler 16GB. The kingston does not come with any of its own software. It's completely blank. I have to use usb since I have no optical drive. These were the three different ways I have tried so far.
1). Using my older lenovo PC, I created an iso image of my windows 7 disc using one of lenovo's bundled software: power2go.
Transferred it to my mac with the kingston and then ran bootcamp. - Failed
2). Used the windows 7 USB/DVD tool. Now when trying to do this, the tool said that the iso I have is not valid. I searched around the net for this problem and resolved it using another tool. Now before actually using the tool to copy the iso to the stick I thought to myself maybe this problem is why bootcamp failed. So I transferred the 'fixed' iso and ran bootcamp again on it and still same result.
3). Actually use the win7 tool and copy the iso to the usb. Since I had already partitioned the drive I didn't go throught the boot camp assistant. I was going to install the support software later after I could confirm mac could boot from the usb. I restarted the mac with this usb stick plugged in and same result.
Now in all three steps I actually pressed and held the alt/option key upon reboot and in all three instances there was no 'Wininstall' drive that I could select to start the installer. All I see is the macHD and the recovery partition.
Doing some searching there were some threads that discussed modifying the plist (in the disk utility app I think) but to me that was only so bootcamp could add in the option to create an install disk via usb. Since that problem isn't there I didn't bother trying it. Maybe I am wrong? Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Update: A user responded to the other thread. So the usb flash device that I am using is 3.0 and looks like there can be problems with that one. So the proposed a solution is to get an external dvd drive and try to install it that way. Perhaps a usb 2.0 stick might work as well. In either case I'll have to buy one. Will update this once done.
The other alternative is to use windows through a VM.

My macbook pro early 2012 won't install release version of yosemite after being in the beta test

my macbook pro early 2012 won't install release version of yosemite after being in the beta test, anyone else having any issues with this?

Received an email from apple saying thank you for being in the beta test and they tell you to download the release version from the mac app store and install it. Done this twice and it says installed successfully after rebooting twice and doing the usual install of a new OS. However when it boots up and opens your desktop it still has the Feedback assistant installed and continuity and all the new features do not work at all. Making me assume that the final release has not installed at all. Spoke to apple on the Phone and they Don't know how to solve it. Except for doing a fresh OS Install. Which i would rather not do, but might have too. currently backing up my Mac as we spec to do it

Reinstalling Mavericks depends on several factors:
if you erased your recovery partition
what OS originally came on your Mac.
I'll assume you don't have a backup available that you made before your mishap, because you didn't mention it.
That's really the take home message here: have a backup!
If you still have your recovery partition:
boot into the recovery partition (command R at restart)
use the recovery partition to reinstall Mavericks. see: OS X: About OS X Recovery
if you do not still have your recovery partition, then it depends on whether your Mac originally came with installer disks or not.
If it originally came with installer disks, you would boot from the installer disks, erase your HD, and then reinstall the OS that is on the installer disks, and then upgrade as necessary until you get to Mavericks.
If your mac did not originally come with installer disks, but you managed to erase your recovery partition, then you can try to boot into internet recovery (option-command-R at restart), and use internet recovery to erase your HD and reinstall the OS that originally came with your computer, and then upgrade to Mavericks if you need to. See: Hands on with Mountain Lion's OS X Recovery and Internet Recovery | Macworld
(the reference refers to ML but it applies just as well to Mavericks).

I purchased an upgrade to Pro but it won't install

I purchased an upgrade to Acrobat X Pro and it won't install because it says I already have a more functional product installed. I currently have Acrobat 10 Standard installed. Should I uninstall standard or will that make the upgrade unavailable?

Hi there,
Try uninstalling Acrobat X standard first. Then install Pro. The error message you're getting would seem to indicate you're trying to install Acro X Standard after Pro is already installed.

Wireless issues with MacBook Pro i5 in Boot Camp Windows 7 x64

I have a 2010 Macbook Pro i5 15''. I'm usually connecting to the 802.11n 5Ghz wireless network of my Time Capsule when running OS X, which works absolutely fine. When running Windows 7 x64 in Boot Camp though, this network can't be found and I have to connect to my secondary 802.11g network of an AirPort Express. Even this network connection usually dies after a few minutes of intensive use though (copying files, playing online games; it's fine with low activity like web surfing). It still appears connected normally, but no data is being transmitted. I have to reset the wireless adapter to get it to work again. The same network works fine for any OS X device.
The Windows drivers for the Broadcom chip in this machine seem really flaky. Anybody else have these problems or maybe a solution?

Yes, sorry, the Boot Camp area would have been a better place to ask. After some more googling I found a helpful thread though, which led me to download this driver package:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?swItem= ob-80585-1&lang=en&cc=us&idx=3&mode=4&
From it I installed the driver called "Broadcom 43225 802.11b/g/n", and presto, I can finally use my 802.11n network under Windows. Hope that's helping other people that may have this problem.

Boot Camp: Mac Pro won't start after Windows install

After installing Boot Camp on a Mac Pro dual 2.66 (firmware updated), XP installer went through installation & copying files, then restarted. Went to a black screen with white Windows-style text that said something along the lines of "XP cannot start from this CD, press any key to restart." Totally unresponsive, held down power to restart. Will no longer power up. Have reset the SMC without any effect. Makes a brief sound when trying to start, but does not actually start up.
Is there any known power issue that I might be able to solve myself, or is the supply likely blown?
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I put Vista on its own dedicated drive, 64GB Vista, the rest as FAT32 to make it easier to share files. I had to remove the OS X drives in order to allow Windows/Vista to install. Once installed, had a black screen and some blue crash screen, until I ran the BootCamp driver updates.
I would try unplugging your drive(s) first and see if you boot from Tiger Installer DVD - or better, boot Apple Hardware Test (hold down "d" on startup from Install Disk #1).
