Hi I'm trying to install windows 7 on a macbook air 2011

but after i click "create a windows install disk" the progress bar reaches like 75 percent saying "copying windows files" but doesn't move past it. can anyone help?

Sorry but in the link you gave there is absolutely nothing related to the problem above.
I also facing the same issue: after I click "create a windows install disk" the progress bar reaches like 75 percent saying "copying windows files" but doesn't move past it.
So, any meaningful answer to this?
I tried also to use the WIndows DVD in a shared dvd on my 2008 Mac Mini but bootcamp does not recognize the dvd during the WIndows instalaation.
I'm stuck.

    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

    Use the Flash Drive that came with your computer it has Snow Leopard installed on it. If you lost it or cannot find it then call Apple and they will replace it for you, I don't know how much they will charge.
    BTW when installing MS Windows please follow the directions whether you are using Boot Camp or a vitualialization solution (Parallels, Fusion, etc.) had  you done this you would not have had any issues.

  • Hi i am trying to install windows to my macbook through boot camp and i get this message Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.!!!what can i do???please help me!

    Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server. this is the message that i get a few days now that i am trying to install windows through boot camp to my macbook!does anybody knows what i can do????

    You keep it on the usb stick for after you boot into Windows. From Windows you install the Windows Support software on the stick. Do you realize that you need to buy and install Windows? The Windows Support software you downloaded is only the Windows drivers for your hardware.
    Read the Boot Camp installation instructions and help guides located here: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

  • Bootcamp hangs when installing Windows 7 on Macbook Air

    I purchased a new Macbook air less than 1 month ago. 256GB SSD drive, maximum RAM. It's running OS X Lion (10.7.1). I plugged in a USB DVD drive, keyboard, and mouse.
    When trying to install Windows 7 64-bit Bootcamp Assistant creates the partition, creates the windows driver disk, then reboots to install windows from my retail version of Windows 7 Home Premium (DVD.) It hangs with the progress bar about 10% of the way across. The message "windows is loading files" is displayed. I waited a full 45 minutes but nothing changed. Help!

    Look at your SSD. See if there is an issue, firmware update, etc.
    not all SSDs work - some work in one OS and not the other, the Mac 2011s have been known to have issues with their SATA3 cable interface and chipset.
    Apple and Intel and others have all issued fimrware updates.
    In some cases people have just sent back their MBP because they were such problem, and that just running Mac OS, not even Windows.

  • Error while installing windows 8 on MacBook Air.

    I am trying to install Windows OS from USB thumb drive. This drive has bootcamp assistant files with ISO image.
    When I select EFI boot, it says windows cannot be installed on this disk. this computer's hardware may not be support booting to this disk.
    When I select windows as an option, it says no bootable device. Please select bootable device and press any key. What should I do now?

    Hello mmarti,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Please ensure you are following the Boot Camp installation guide, as you should be selecting the partition named "BOOTCAMP" when you are at the Windows installer screen.  See page 6 of the following PDF:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf
    Take care,

  • Trying to install Windows 7 to Macbook Pro (late 2011)

    1)  Have installed bootcamp 5
    2)  when I attempt to download "Windows Support" to 8g usb, after 20 min. it says "can't download windows support software
          because fo a network problem
        NEED HELP, THANKS IN ADVANCE

    Sometimes it's not possible to download the Windows support software from Boot Camp Assistant. In that case, you have to download the drivers from the Apple site.
    If you are trying to install a 64-bit Windows 7 edition, you have to download this Windows support software > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US Follow the steps of the website to burn it to your USB drive. Then, install it after installing Windows 7 in the MacBook Pro
    If you are trying to install a 32-bit Windows 7 edition, you have to download > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630
