Boot Camp / Win 7 (64-bit) install hangs at "windows loading files"

I was hoping I might get some help from the community. I've got the new MBP 15", 2.66/i7 and OS 10.6.3. I launch Boot Camp utility, assign a partition for Windows (76 GB in this case), insert the Win 7 disc (Home Premium 64-bit OEM I just bought) when prompted, and the laptop restarts.
It asks me to press any key to boot off the CD/DVD (screen color is blocked a bit oddly, but no worries). I press a key, screen goes black, and the message, "windows is loading files" appears. The white status bar below it progresses from the left all the way to the right, and then the whole process freezes before going to the next step.
I found another person's solution post on this here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=703045
I haven't tried it yet, because I don't understand if I have too format the whole drive or just a partition. I don't understand his solution completely, so I was hopeful someone could tell me if it even sounds like it might work or if there is another known solution.
Thanks!

Thanks for including the details. Up front even better. Two different makes? AMD and Nvidia do not play together in Windows. 2 'extra' means 3 GPUs. Now there I would look at leaving just one.
What I meant to say was just leave the one drive where Windows will go, no other drives present - pull those sleds. And put Windows in bay #1.
Slowest burn speed, which is usually 2x but if 4x is the slowest setting, fine. Odd behavior and bad installs even when it does appear to.

  • I started Boot Camp on a MAC mini but then  had a power failure after 30 secs :( Now when I start Boot Camp the option to install Windows 7 is gone.  In it's place is Remove Windows 7.  It seems to hang at Partitioning disk  Can I recover?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    That's because the Boot Camp volume was created, but your Mac hasn't been set up to start automatically from the Windows disc. Insert the Windows DVD and press C key while your Mac is starting to start Windows installation.
    If you want to make sure that everything is correct, open Boot Camp Assistant and choose the option to remove Windows 7. Then, open that application again, select the option to install Windows 7 and you will be able to install Windows as usual

    How do I successfully install 64 bit WIndows 7 on my iMac?
    Thank you!

    Waited a month and tried again with the same result. What gives? Does Apple no longer support Bootcamp with Windows 7? Do they not read these posts and help out customers? If Apple doesn't care and won't help, can anyone else suggest something? My large company does not like Apple and barely supports those of us who buck the trend and buy Macs. If I have to buy a PC to support their software to work from home this only gives them more "ammunition" to decline to support Macs. Any advice anyone can give would be greatly appreciated!

    A reboot ended up fixing it and getting it up and running.

  • Boot Camp MBP '11, W7 Install = Black Screen

    I'm struggling with getting Boot Camp up and running on my new MBP.
    Since it is likely relavent: I have installed an OptiBay in my MBP 15 (high end) with a secondary hard drive, with my SuperDrive connected externally via USB.
    After creating a boot camp partition, the machine reboots with a Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit install disk in the SuperDrive. The disk reads like it's preparing to install, the white screen stays up until the disk stops being read, then the white screen turns to an active black screen as if it is going to display something, but then it just sits at a black screen for ages until I just have to turn it off because it's not going anywhere. I've tried a number of different install disks, all with this same problem.
    After an entire night of trying to get the above to work, I decided to remove the OptiBay and put the SuperDrive back in its place and try to install Boot Camp on the primary HDD. In fact after doing this I had even less success, the disk would read and the screen would stay white for a long period of time, and then the Folder w/ Question Mark image would blink on the screen as if it couldn't find what it was looking for to boot up.
    I'm at a total loss here, haven't seen anyone else with similar issues and can't for the life of me figure out what is going on here. At first I thought it was my install media, then the drive configurations, and now I just don't know. I suspect drivers but I've also seen other people post they've installed W7 without issue so it's probably not that. Any ideas?

    you could Try to disable the wrong graphics card driver:
    Run the Windows installer,
    wait, until the black screen appears, then, wait for maybe 15minutes to be safe
    shutdown the computer by holding the power key for >10sec.
    turn on the computer, press several times F8, as soon as the machine boots, until you get the windows startup menu options.
    choose safe boot
    Now windows will start, but there will be a messages that setup cannot continue in safe mode.
    Do not click continue/shutdown.
    press SHIFT-F10
    A command prompt comes up
    enter: compmgmt.msc
    then look for the device manager,
    expand the graphics card section,
    right click the graphis card, choose "disable"
    close the program
    exit the command prompt
    now click on the restart computer button
    Computer will restat, setup should continue normaly
    Finally install the apple supplied drivers.
    does that help ?

  • Boot Camp drivers won't install on Windows 7

    I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro (10.10.2 Yosemite), and just installed Windows 7 (64-bit) via Boot Camp. It works fine but I am unable to install any of the drivers (version 5.1.5621). I put them on a flash drive but when I open Drivers/Apple/BootCamp, it says the program can not be run, check your bit version for compatibility (something like that)... I then try the troubleshoot way but this is what happens-
    Thanks for the help.

    Please verify that you have the correct drivers using System requirements to install Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp - Apple Support  and install or repair using setup.exe in the BC folder.

  • Boot Camp Question .... I just bought a 2013 late model Mac Book Pro Retina and am wondering if it is worth installing windows through boot camp. If I install the windows component in order to run an exe file and its component "Declans Korean Flash Cards"

    I just bought a 2013 late model Mac Book Pro Retina and am wondering if it is worth installing windows through boot camp.
    If I install the windows component in order to run an exe file and its component "Declans Korean Flash Cards"... will it make my mac suseptible to viruses overall due to having a windows component? also will it make my mac slower as well

    If you are only going to use one or two window only programs then I wouldn't waste the space.  Try WinonX it allows you to install exe. Files on Mac without installing windows.

  • HT5639 Do I need to uninstall boot camp 4 before I install and update to boot camp 5. I already have windows 8 pro with boot camp 4 installed. Do I need to unistall boot camp 4 or not necessary?

    I already have windows 8 pro with boot camp 4 installed on my macair book 11". I have searched the entire articles on how to upgrade boot camp 4 to boot camp 5 but have found no answer as to my question: Do you have to uninstall boot camp 4 drivers before you install boot camp 5? I am not sure if it is ok to install boot camp 5 directly without uninstalling boot camp 4 because there might be driver version conflict. So I have not installed boot camp 5. Is it ok to install boot camp 5 withoust uninstalling boot camp 4? Your answers will be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You don't have to uninstall Boot Camp 4 drivers before installing Boot Camp 5 drivers. Boot Camp 5 drivers will simply overwrite Boot Camp 4 drivers, so you don't have to uninstall old drivers before installing new ones and making that process easier

  • CAN I ERASE PARTITION BOOT CAMP IF I HAVE INSTALLED PARALLELS DESKTOP?

    CAN I ERASE PARTITION BOOT CAMP IF I HAVE INSTALLED PARALLELS DESKTOP?

    I think the answer is NO. Or Maybe. Or, can't answer based on lack of details. And, more a question for Parallels Support forums.
    All depends on your setup. But you will lose ability to dual boot or use VM most likely.
    In any event, we are not mind readers. And have some backups already.
    Before you do? do this: buy WinClone 3 and make a backup image of Windows hard partition "aka" Boot Camp.

    You mean, Can I still run boot camp without Windows? because that is what you will have, one empty boot camp partition. Buy a copy of Windows 7.

  • I have a MacBook 10.5.8 with Boot Camp. I can only operate the Windows side. When I move into MacOS it does not open.

    I have a MacBook 10.5.8 with Boot Camp. I can only operate the Windows side. When I move into MacOS it does not open.

    Your phrasing is not clear. How do you reboot into Mac OS? /can you describe the process step by step?
    Usually, you should do like this:
    - while in win, restart
    - immediately after chime, press option or alt key
    - wait for 2-3 seconds, you should see the boot options
    - select Mac OS partition
    If you have performed all these steps, and, after choosing Mac OS partition, you cannot boot into Mac OS, then your system is corrupt and should be reinstalled.

  • Should I Use Boot Camp or Parallels for use of a Windows Desktop?

    I am migrating from a PC to a Mac; I want to take advantage of having a Windows desktop to run some apps until i buy Mac equivalent software;
    I have Tiger, but am installing Leopard this weekend;
    Should I Use Boot Camp or Parallels for use of a Windows Desktop?
    I am tempted by not having to reboot, but i don't want my mac to slow down?
    I am a photographer and use Photoshop and other graphics intensive programs.

    Hi,
    to achieve full computing power while in Windows you have to use BootCamp and for Photoshop and other apps of that caliber in Windows its the best.
    For apps less demanding using Parallels (VMWare Fusion) is sufficient enough and the slight downgrade in speed is negligible.
    You should however (if not already done) max out the RAM of your Mac.
    Regards
    Stefan

  • I bought windows 7 download online and started setting up boot camp but it says to insert the windows 7 disk so how do i do this?

    i bought windows 7 download online and started setting up boot camp but it says to insert the windows 7 disk so how do i do this?
    plz help me

    Hi Jaimie,
    To install Windows via Boot Camp you will need to have a copy of Windows on a physical dvd disc.
    If your purchase provides you with an ".ISO" file then you can simply burn this to a DVD and then follow the standard Boot Camp installation instructions.
    Boot Camp instructions: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf
    If you get stuck, just let me know the website you purchased Windows 7 from and I might be able to help you out.
    Cheers
