Can I install Windows 7 System Builder Addition on a MacBook Pro?

rmsmac,
do you mean Addition, or Edition? Is it a 32-bit version of Windows 7, or a 64-bit version of Windows 7?
Why don’t you give it a try, and report back on whether you’re able to or not?

How can I install Windows 8.1 Enterprise on my Macbook Pro With BootCamp?

How Can I Install Windows 8.1 Enterprise on my MacBook Pro?

Hi Armin.S,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you are asking about the system requirements for running various versions of Windows under Bootcamp, or just more generally how to set up Bootcamp on your Mac, you may find the following articles/pages helpful:

Can I install window 7 enterprise 32 bit on MacBook Pro

I have installed window 7 enterprise 32 bit on my MacBook Pro but it appears no software drivers such as Bluethoot USB Bost Controller, Enternet Controller, FaceTIme HD Camera (Built-in), Network Controller...etc. Then I tried to download Boot Camp Support Software 4 but it did not work.
So, can i install window 7 enterprise 32 bit on Mac? How to solve this problem?
Thanks!

You don't say what year/version Macbook Pro you have. Newer Macbook Pros only support 64 bit Windows. See the tables here to see which Windows your computer supports. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
There are several reasons you should use 64 bit Windows on a newer Macbook Pro:
Your computer is 64 bit
32 bit Windows can only use about 3.5 GB of your installed ram
32 bit programs run in 64 bit Windows
There is no reason to use 32 bit Windows in a modern Macbook Pro.

Can I install windows xp via bootcamp onto my macbook pro 15"? The XP in question is an "OEM" disk but it is NOT branded to any computer brand i.e Dell. Thanks.

Will XP be ok to use via bootcamp?
Does it matter if it's OEM?

Technically it's Lion Boot Camp Assistant doesn't support XP, it is after all 11 years old, and is a booger Microsoft is even trying to flick off with hardly much success.

The hardware in question, almost invariably will run Windows XP OK. There might even be XP video drivers for this laptop, etc. but not the easy collection of drivers for XP specifically for this Macbook. The OP would have to track down the drivers manually. But it is possible to shrink the Mac HD volume, boot a Windows XP disk directly and have it format and install on the free space created. But it's a guess how much of a rabbit hole it is to track down XP specific drivers for this brand new hardware.
But that's the alternative to "Buy Windows 7". Of course, you can run XP in a Virtual Machine, on Lion, however.

if your computer does not support the operating system you wish to install in bootcamp then you have to use a virtual machine like virtual box to install the operating system you wish to install

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Although you managed to "hack" Boot Camp Assistant and you can create a Windows USB installer, you will not be able to boot from the USB drive and you will get a nice "No bootable device" screen after restarting your Mac.
Apple has set up Boot Camp Assistant in order to show the option to create a USB installer only in Macs which support it. In the case of the MacBook Pro, only MacBooks Pro with Retina display support that option, so you are out of luck. You need Windows on a DVD.

Warning: Don't install Windows 7 64-bit on Older MacBook Pros

I totally hosed my machine by installing Windows 7 64 bit on a MacBook Pro that Apple has not deemed to be okay with running Snow Leopard in 64-bit. I have a Core 2 Due, which is fully 64-bit. Windows 7 64-bit runs perfectly on a MacBook Pro, but Apple's Snow Leopard can only handle 32-bits. Crazy.
I'm guessing Windows 7 updated the MacBook Pro's EFI to 64 bit, which since my Firmware hasn't been updated, can't recognize or load. Some I'm stuck.
Does anyone know how to return a 64 bit efi back to its original 32 bit version? I've been forced to reinstall Snow Leopard, hopefully the Disk Image I created will be able to bring back my data, otherwise I'm screwed and really ******.

I don't think Windows 7 would normally modify your Guid Partition Table, but Boot Camp
(particularly the later versions) is rapidly gaining a nasty reputation for hosing partition maps.
Test Disk might could help:
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
You will need to boot it in firewire mode (if supported) or from an external clone.
I hope your disk image is good. Rule of thumb for OS Disk Images:
Make them sparseimage or sparsebundle, do not compress, and last but not least;
Make 2 of them. Just some friendly advice.
I have yet to see anyone repair a defective, compressed, UDIF disk image. I have
successfully repaired sparse UDSP/UDSB images using either disk utility and/or Disk Warrior
and/or iPartition or some combination of the three.
I'm not against disk images, to the contrary, I use them almost exclusively for backup lately.
I mount them, then place a clone or data on them using Carbon Copy Cloner or Chronosync.
Of course I only use UDSP/UDSB uncompressed images.

Not using Boot Camp, but you should be able to using virtualization software such as Parallels to run Windows concurrently with OS X.

I wand to install Windows 7 on my band new Macbook Pro 13 inch. Do I need to buy a specific Mac version of Windows 7 or do I install a standard Windows 7 OS on the Mac

I want to install Windows 7 on my band new Macbook Pro 13 inch and use Parallel Desktop 6 torun it alongside my Mac OS. Do I need to buy a specific Mac version of Windows 7 or do I install a standard Windows 7 OS on the Mac using boot camp.

As vazandrew said, Boot Camp will work with any standard copy of Win 7.
The only exception would be if you want to run it in a virtual environment, such as with Parallels or WMware.
I personally recommend Boot Camp, however, since it only uses the resources for one OS at a time.

Can I install one 8 GB ram in a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011).

Can I install one 8 GB ram in a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011). The other slot is not working, I have only one slot that works. It is stated in this link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270#link1 , that the maximum memory is 8 GB where every slot slot has 4 Gb. Is there any problem if i install only one 8 Gb ram in the working slot ?

You should be able to do that.
Maximum Memory
16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
Understand that there is no guarantee it will work, but based on the above it should work for you.
