Cannot load windows 7 through bootcamp

i have been trying to load windows 7 through bootcamp. but after the initial partition process, the screen goes blank with a cursor on the top left corner.
it does not come to life even after 4 hours.
i did not have any problem making the partition before. this is the first time i have had this issue.
can anybody help?????

I just successfully installed Windows 8.1 Update 1 on BootCamp on Mac OS X Yosemite. Here is a step by step I just wrote, hope it helps y'all:
How to successfully install Windows 8, or above, on Mac OS X Mavericks or above:
Requirements:
1- Windows OS ISO Image file
2- An 8GBs USB Flash Drive
3- A good Internet connection as you will need to download the Windows compatible drivers for your Mac
Steps:
1- Open up Disk Utility and create an additional partition for Windows formatted as ExFat. 100GBs, or above, is recommended as update to the operating system, as well as Apps requiere space on your HD or SSD [This step can be done during Mac OS X's installation process]
2- Open up BootCamp Assistant
3- Make sure only the 'Create a Windows 7 or later version install disk' is checked and your USB Flash Drive plugged in and click 'Continue'
4- Click 'Choose' and select your Windows ISO Image file
5- Select the USB Flash Drive you will be using during the installation process and click continue to confirm
6- Once done, restart your Mac and hold down the 'alt/option' key on your keyboard to bring up the Boot Menu
7- Select the USB Flash Drive named Windows, not the UEFI Boot
8- Install Windows as you normally would
* Remember to press and hold the 'alt/option' key, and select the Windows Partition, whenever the installation process requires your Mac to restart

No. Target Display mode is only supported when connected to a Mac running 10.6 or later.
It cannot be used with a PC, bootcamp, gamaing console, cable box, DVR or PowerPC Mac.

If I have already loaded Windows 7 in bootcamp and want to repatition, do I need to uninstall Windows?

I loaded Windows 7 in bootcamp on my Macbook Pro Retina and want to repartition. Will everything just simply be deleted in bootcamp,or would Inneed to uninstall Windows 7 and then repartition?

If you want to add space to the Windows volume, just use Paragon Camptune X > http://www.paragon-software.com/downloads/camptune.html This application allows you to give more storage to the Windows volume quickly, without deleting the volume.
If you want to create another volume, note that Boot Camp requires that the hard drive is partitioned into two partitions, the OS X and the Windows partitions, so you can't create more when you install Windows on the computer. There are workarounds, but I think that you should leave this as it is now

Office Mac 2008 compatible with Windows 7 through Bootcamp?

Hi, this is my first post to this forum and am seeking some assistance.
I have always been a PC user and switched to a mac around 8 mths ago and loving it, although I am still trying to drive the thing
For study I have just installed Windows 7 through bootcamp for some CAD programs and have the following question. Can I run my Office Mac 08 through Windows or do I need to purchase again under the windows platform?
When I purchased my mac I bought office mac at the same time for excel etc, but I don't want to pay again just to run on Windows? This may be a simple question to some, but I don't know much about programs.
Thanks, Evan

Can I run my Office Mac 08 through Windows
No. You may want to run Windows in emulation.

I have formated the drive into ntsc and fat 32 but as soon as the setup process has finished in xp and it wants to load the system posts the Blue Screen of death.
Why does windows 98 run without any problems .I have checked memory ,ram,pro and hdd but all are fine.This one puzzles me!!!.
I understand from other feeds it could be the power supply not beefy enough but if that was the case why does windows 98 run so well??

Cannot install Windows 7 via Bootcamp?

Hey Guys.
I have a mid 2009 Mac Book Pro. I use OSX Lion, and ran into issues with program compatability with older mac Programs. I then decided to install Windows 7 through Boot Camp so that I can run my older apps, and ran into a problem in the 1/4 of the Windows installer, which says "CD/DVD Driver not detected, please insert a floppy, CD or DVD, or USB with the driver to continue."
I've searched Google and every source on the internet, and I cannot find an alternative to get windows 7 to work.
I have however gotten Windows XP to install, but I cannot use the new bootcamp since it doesn't support XP (Of couse... -.- ) . How can I get my Windows 7 Installation to work.
OR
How can I get the correct drivers to manually install them to get XP working on my mac?

Find the one "Bootcamp" that BCA created. It will be FAT32. Use the Advanced Options in the Windows install step to format it. You did that, then something else going on.
If that is what you did then you have some other drives connected that are GUID more likely.
Both are in the install pdf and tech articles. I liked the old support product pages check

Can't load Windows 7 on Bootcamp 3.0.4

So, I've got a couple things working against me. I traded my friend for his late 2006 Macbook 2,1 and have upgraded to Snow Leopard. The only issue with the computer itself is the optical drive is broken, but I have purchased an external USB drive, and was successful at using it to upgrade to SL.
I would like to run Boot Camp to load Windows 7, but have so far not been able to do so. I have read that I need Boot Camp 4.0 in order to run Windows 7, but can only download the updates to be run through Windows. When placing the Windows Installation disk in the external drive and placing a hard drive with the Snow Leopard software in through USB, and continuing through Boot Camp Assistant, the computer will being with the White Apple Screen, but the Apple will flash between a "do not enter" looking sign and a folder with a question mark on it. I have seen several similar posts but have yet to solve the problem. Is the external optical drive the culprit, or am I missing some easy step along the way?
Thank you for your help,

Try asking in the Bootcamp forum. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

Cannot install Windows 7 with bootcamp

Ok, I am getting really frustrated at this point with bootcamp. I have previously installed win7 on this same computer I'm working with, I reformatted the drive and uninstalled windows with bootcamp, the reason I did this was because I needed more space on my windows drive. I have followed all of bootcamp's directions and I keep getting stuck on the same spot. After creating a win7 install usb stick (with the same oem copy of win7 I used last time), downloading the drivers, and getting thru the partioning steps, the computer reboots into windows install. I see "disk 0 partition 4: bootcamp" after clicking format (to get it to be formatted to ntfs) I click next, then I keep getting the following error. "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup log files for more information."
I have tried installing with bootcamp a few different times, even with a different copy of windows 7 and keep getting stuck here. I have installed it just fine before, I dont know why this is happening now. I am on a 15" 2012 rMBP 500gb model

Hi All-
I know this post is dated slightly but I wanted to chime in with some Bootcamp help on the newer vintage MBP laptops.
Just to throw it out there - nearly every Mac I purchase gets hardware hacked the minute it comes out of the box. RAM/SSD upgrades are usually the first on the agenda. The SSD/drive upgrades can tend to muck-up the process of using Apple's standard BootCamp tools for loading Windows.
Here is a very simple way to accomplish the same things that BootCamp does only the right way so Windows will be happy alongside OS X.
1. Download your Windows ISO (stop making DVDs!) and make a USB bootable stick. You can do this in a number of ways - on the OS X side use Disk Utility, on the Windows side use the Microsoft Store USB download/create tool. Just make sure you have a -known- good working USB bootable Windows 7 install media (or Windows 8)
2. Once you've done this you will want to get the WindowsSupport folder for your model of Mac, so launch BootCamp, un-check the top and bottom options so that only the Download Support Files option is selected, indicate that you would like to copy to an external drive. Tell it to place the folder either on your Desktop or in your Library somewhere. Let it do its thing and then copy those files onto your newly created USB Windows 7/8 install media. Now you have the Windows installation media as well as the Apple BootCamp drivers for Windows all on one single USB.
3. Partitioning - instead of using the flawed BootCamp software to do this, we'll use Disk Utility in OS X. Launch Disk Utility and highlight your primary hard drive. Click the 'Partition' button at the top. Now click the '+' button to add a partition, name it WINDOWS or something so you can identify it easily later. Use the slider to create the size of partition you would like for Windows - this will auto-resize your OS X partition. On the right-hand side of the Disk Utility window use the drop-down to change partition type from Mac OS X Journaled to MS-FAT. Once you have done all of that use the Apply button to let it do its thing and re-size/create partitions. This takes about 3 minutes tops.
4. Install Windows! - Be sure your Windows 7/8 USB bootable install media is inserted in a USB slot on the system. Once you have completed the re-partitioning action, simply shut down your machine, and restart it holding the Option (Alt) button. The alt button will cause the system to eventually show you a choice of bootable disks. The USB disk will be easily identified because it will have an orange colored icon with the USB symbol on it. Click this to boot from the USB Windows 7/8 install media.
5. Windows Installer - the Windows installer will launch after a period of time, use the 'Next' button and accept the license terms and you will be brought to a window to select the destination for the Windows install. You should automatically see the WINDOWS (or whatever you named it) partition that was created during step 3. Highlight this partition and the 'next' button should un-grey and become available, if it does, click it and the Windows installation will proceed. If the 'next' button does not un-grey you will want to highlight the partition and select 'Format', once that completes it will un-grey the 'next' button and the install will proceed.
6. Once the installation is done it will need to reboot a few times (normal Windows install procedure at this point). You will need to hold down the 'alt' key during each reboot and now select the 'WINDOWS' hard disk partition (not the USB one) from the boot menu to continue going through the motions of Windows installation.
7. BootCamp Driver Install - once you have finished all of the reboots and motions of Windows installation you will want to boot into Windows, and once at the desktop make sure your USB install media that was used previously is inserted into the system. Go to My Computer, find the USB drive, open it, and navigate to the WindowsSupport folder that was saved during step 2. There will be an application called Setup , double-click this and choose 'Allow' during any security warnings. Click 'next' once the installer loads and it will automatically install every Mac device driver needed on the Windows side.
7 steps and approximately 45-minutes later you should be sitting with a fresh installation of Windows on a bootcamped partition.
Hope this helps somebody out - it took me quite some time and research to figure out the "cleanest" method for bypassing the flakey BootCamp application for installing Windows.

Have a MacBook Pro with OS X. Loaded windows 8 in bootcamp and lost trackpad. Keyboard will work if hit esc key at opening windows screen. Any ideas? Microsoft has none.

I loaded Windows 8 update on my MacBook Pro on the bootcamp partition and now my trackpad doesn't work on the windows side. The keyboard works if I first hit the esc button at the opening screen. Microsoft was no help. I don't know how to delete the driver for the trackpad in OS X and reinstall to see if it corrects the problem. Any Ideas?

have found a temp solution now, before apple releases its update. this will make ur trackpad work but without any gestures and u'll have to press to select the left or right click.
here's the solution.
1. go to device manager
2 locate ur trackpad and right click and choose to update the driver.
3. select browse my computer for driver software.
4 select "let me pick from the list of device drivers on my compuet".
5 just keep pressing the "NEXT" button after that.
thats its u'll have a working trackpad for now.

Resource Conflict – Serial Bus Controller & PCI Bus Issues - Cannot Load Windows 7 - PLEASE HELP!

Anyone have any ideas about a remedy? I am ready to toss it and purchase another. THANKS! HP Pavilion Notebook, dv9827clAMD Turion 64 x 2, Bios F.34Windows 7, SP 1 (Upgraded from OEM Vista SP2) PROBLEM: This morning my system has a blank illuminated screen. Upon power-on, the system eventually goes to the blank screen. Can get to BIOS functions, but beyond that it will not load Windows 7. System was working with Windows 7 prior to this issue. No recent changes or updates made to this system. Stationary - No physical abuse. Five (5) years old. Upon power-on, the screen gives PF keys, which enable me to enter the BIOS: F1 – System Information > Clock still has correct date and time. F2 – Startup Check -> Both HD and RAM OK F9 – Change Boot Device Order -> Can change device order, but it still won’t boot or respond to a System Recovery DVD in a USB DVD. ( Notebook DVD stopped working before this problem happened.) F10 - Enter Setup F11 – System Recovery – Two choices, but <enter> and arrow keys do not work. (They DO work with other F-selections, but not with F-11 menu) (1) Continue with System Resume (2) Delete Restoration Data and Proceed to System Boot OTHER OBSERVATION: When access PF1, I get the BIOS. If I exit and save with PF10, I get a brief flash of error messages, then it goes back to the PF-selections and eventually to the blank screen. Here are the error messages:Bios Version F.34ERRORResource Conflict – Serial Bus Controller on MotherboardBus 02 Device 05 Function 00ERRORResource Conflict – PCI on MotherboardBus 02 Device 05 Function 01ERRORResource Conflict – PCI on MotherboardBus 02 Device 05 Function 02ERRORResource Conflict – PCI on MotherboardBus 02 Device 05 Function 03ERRORResource Conflict – PCI on MotherboardBus 02 Device 05 Function 04 OTHER ACTION: Tried a hard reset = Removed battery, held down power key about a minute, but no effect.
