Hi Andreas,
Please specify your hardware and software. Running OSX? Which version? Old hardware/new hardware?
It is not sure what your problem is: is it that the CD will not eject? Or is it that the winbdows cd is not installing?

Boot Using OPTION key:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "OPTION" key.

2011 iMac won't install Windows 7 in Boot Camp

I'm attempting to install Windows 7 x64 on my 2011 (Thunderbolt) iMac via a burned, bootable DVD which was previously used to install Windows 7 x64 on my friend's MacBook Pro. Apparently, the disc works. After partitioning one of my internal drives in Boot Camp, downloading the drivers and stuff Apple provided, putting that stuff on a FAT-formated flash drive, then attempting to install Windows, the install fails. Well, it doesn't really fail. Before I'm even given the option of installing, right after clicking the "start setup" button in the Windows Installer, I get an error saying "No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click ok." I go to scan and browse the flash drive for the drivers which Apple provided, and I get the same message over and over again regardless of what I click. I ran Software Update before doing any of this, and I have also attempted to install the x32 version of Windows 7 as well, as to no avail. I would try burning the Apple-provided drivers and stuff to a CD or DVD, but obviously there is no way to insert such a disc into the drive since the Windows disc is already in.
These are my computer's specs, if they matter:
2011 Thunderbolt iMac
2TB storage, partitioning 100GB for Windows
3.4GHz i7 quad-core
16GB RAM
Radeon 6970 with 2GB VRAM
...attempting to install Windows 7 Home Premium (I think) x64 (or x32 if I have to)

Update: I've successfully installed Windows by re-burning my Windows .iso image at 4x. The install went smoothly, but Windows is now unable to boot. After installing and going through its series of reboots, then fails to boot after restarting (after given the option to select what method of updating you want Windows to use).
This is some of the stuff Windows says, on a black screen with white text, when the boot fails:
mcfg 0x8ee39000 0x3c 0x8ee0f000 0x195000 0x3
(insert a ton more of that ^ stuff)
recalculating checksums rsdt len 0x6c, xsdt len 0xb4

Booting Windows 7/Vista/Server (No SLIC)
Booting Windows NT/2000/XP

Boot failed! Press any key to enter command line.
I've dug through various archived forum postings in the programming bowels of the internet. Apparently there was/has been/is a known issue in which Macs refuse to boot Windows when the Mac in question has a 2TB hard drive. This is due to some GRUB issue or something.
I have no idea what to do. I need Windows, and I'm quite sure no Genius appointment will help me solve this problem. So much for a Mac seamlessly running Windows via Boot Camp.

Cant install Windows 7 on MacBook Pro running snow leopard.

I just got a shiny new Macbook Pro and i tried to install Windows 7. I partitioned the drive using Boot Camp assistant and proceeded to install Windows 7. Windows 7 Installation started and then it said it cant find device drivers for CD/DVD drives. Since my Windows 7 disk was stuck inside the drive at this point with no way to eject it, i took the Leopard installation disk and connected it through a external USB DVD drive. Then was able to browse the DVD and look at the Bootcamp drivers. But pointing the windows installer to all the directories still came up with "No device drivers found". Though, my leopard installation disc has a folder called x64 drivers etc... Any suggestions ?
Thanks.

1) BootCamp .rtf at root of Leopard disk:
Double-click setup.exe, in the root level of this disc, to install the following:
• Boot Camp drivers, which allow you to use your Mac-specific hardware with Windows, including your Apple keyboard, mouse, trackpad, and built-in iSight camera. For more information on Boot Camp, see <http://www.apple.com/bootcamp>.
• Remote Install Mac OS X, which allows MacBook Air users on your local network to install Mac OS X using a Mac OS X installation disc in your computer's optical drive. For more information, refer to the MacBook Air User's Guide.
• DVD or CD Sharing, which allows MacBook Air users on your local network to use your computer's optical drive. For more information, refer to the MacBook Air User's Guide.
If you can't find the MacBook Air User's Guide, download it from <http://www.support.apple.com/manuals>.
For more information on installing Boot Camp, restart your Mac in Mac OS X, open Boot Camp Assistant (in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder), and click Print Installation & Setup Guide.
2) You can eject without having right click by clicking desktop Computer icon which opens Windows explorer and a view of drives C:, E;(likely your cd/dvd.) if you highlight this with mouse cursor, you can Eject from column above drive icon.
Using Windows Explorer, In the Boot Camp Folder on the Leopard disk is Setup.exe Running this should install Bcamp & drivers for you.
For me autorun at leopard disk insert has 3 icons to select from; for boot camp installation is third or one on the bottom. Maybe you don't see it due to screen resolution setting.

(OS X Lion) cant install windows on HD with multiple partitions

I have installed os x 10.7 lion the day it rolled out from the app store and everything was good. But now, I decided to re-install windows 7 on my macbook on lion. I currently have 2 partitions: 1 for media files and the main partition for the os files. But I cant use boot camp because it keeps on notifying me that i can only have one partition so I could install windows through boot camp. Is that the thing with lion, when I was able to do the same with snow leopard?
Now, I figured that I could not really do anything about and decided to install windows on a single partition and everything went well, though I am still sick that I had to copy everything on one parition.
My next question is: how come that after everytime I get to install windows, the partition does not recognize it anymore after I try to divide the mac partition on disk utility? Here's the scenario, I am able to install windows properly, so I boot to the lion parition and divide it into 2 through disk utility (making the total number of partitions to 3), so I could have one partition I could access both on windows and lion, but after that, when I try to boot windows, the system does not recognize the boot camped anymore. Do I have to stick with just 2 partitions(1 for lion and 1 for windows)? Or there is something wrong with my windows installation?
I am certain that I do not erase the windows partition as I can still the files on that partition through the finder.
I am in need of serious help here. Please.

Greetings,
Use Fusion, or Parallels. They are better for running Winblows, and you don't have to reboot in to it, you simply run Win 7 as an app. I have tried Boot Camp, a few times since it first came available, and it has always been cumbersome, and problematic, to use, and allows typical Winblows issues to happen. Running Win 7 virtual seems to not have those same issues.
Until I retire, soon, I still have to use Windows, along with Macs, Linux, and UNIX, but after that, it all goes, except for the Macs - no more headaches.
Give Fusion, or Parallels a try, they are cheap, and work really well.
Cheers,
M.

When I launched setup, choosed custom installation, then it shows just one drive with unallocated space almost 256gb, when I try to push button next for instalation I get error "we couldnt install windows in the location you choose. please check your media drive. 0x80300024 ." then I tried to creat new partition but got error " we couldnt create partition". I tried google fix for this, I tried use cmd and diskpart comands to do clean on disk 0 , but got error " diskpart has encoutered an error: the request could not be performed because of an i/o device error". intresting thing that I put this SSD to other laptop (asus) and after 5minutes windows was fresh installed... and then when I put SSD with windows that was installed on other laptop I got error that disk is unreadable or some disk error and suggestion to do ctrl alt del for reboot... both laptops ar on ACHI and UEFI is disabled... I dont know what to do next.... Im so depressed... any ideas how to install windows?

So then I tried again to install windows, I run setup, it showed me 3 partitions that ubuntu made, so I delete them and just pressed next with unallocated disk and boom it showed me istallation progress... but stuck on first step of copying files at 0%... so no windwos... I waited for like 20mins then pressed cancel, it gave me next screen that installation canceled and I was unable to turn off setup... so I just powered off laptop. and then... I cant connect my SSD, my laptop was unable to start at all with that SSD, when I connect it with usb adapter it just stuck at recognizing it, I cant to format it nothing, its like SSD is bricked... I tried again install ubuntu on ssd but installation gave me input output error, so yeah.... now I think its just left to me bring it to the warranty... ;(

msi 875p neo fisr 2
2*512mb some ram
2*150gb ata harddisks
dvd
cd writer
firewire card
multi card reader
creative audigy 2
it like this.Windows would not start.It comes to login screen and freezes there.So I started to install windows from scratch.I did this before 2 times and there was no problems.
Both harddisks were connected as one on promise ide3 via raid,array 1+0.So i put winxp cd and restart.First problem is i dont get a message if i want to start from cd(i used to gei it before).The install just starts.And it goes find untill first restart.then it restarts and dont ask again if i want to start from cd but just starts from cd and starts install from begining.
Then i desconnected harddisks,removed raid in bios,and connected only on hard to ide2.
I start the pc with winxp cd in and it again dont ask me if i want to start from cd but it only starts,goes good untill first install ,then restarts and instead of continuing install start all from begining.
If i remove the cd sometimes i get ntldr is missing but sometimes i get nothing.pc just restarts.(I tried to install win here maybe 15times untill now).
I tried to put harddisk in another pc and install windows there but i get the same problem.
I reformated hard and check for errors ,no problems found.
I took everything out from pc leaving only nesessery parts ,still the same problem.
So now i just dont know what to do anymore?
I sit with this problem 10days know and have tried everything i could come up with.
Hard is formated with ntfs.Could that be a problem?
Hard is 150gb.Is maybe that the problem?
I say again i have to same harddrives ,samsung 150gb ide.Tried changing them but still the same problem.
It would be very nice if somebody could help me.
Thank you

Hello again.been busy at work these past few days but now i'm back at the problem.
Have tried to install winxp this morning and it went like this:
-removed logo in bios
-restart
-comes check up,showing dvdrom on ide1 master.nothing on others.(i dont have nothing else)
-comes promise bios showing 1* 1+0 stripe 160041 m 19457/255/63 functional
-checking up boot devices,starting install program from cd(not asking me to press the button.starts right away).checking hardware configuration.
-tell me to press F6 if i want and i do it
-after this part finish i load promise fasttr drivers from floppy succesffuly and continue install
-choose only harddisk showing to install winxp
-format drive(ntfs quick format.have done before normal format also)
-when it finish, install loads files to drive
-then it tell me that pc needs to restart and it will continue install upon restart.press enter to restart now or wait untill this bar comes to an end.
-then it restarts and goes through boot,check promise bios(same as before),check for boot devices and then starts install program from cd all over again from the begining.
-install goes good untill the first restart and then again starts all over again.
if i remove cd it tells me:
disk read error
press ctrp+alt+del......................
bios settings:
standard cmos:
secondary ide master: nec_dvd_rw nd_130

on board promise ide as raid
ddr clock 400mhz
cpu bus clock 200
Just to mention something else also:
I have 3 different winxp cd's and have tried them all so its not the problem with cd.
I have also tried to put harddrive to my older compaq p3 and install win there but i got almost same problems.Also when i connected to my old compaq system as secondary ide it works good but each time when i connected it and disconnected it reports that harddrive is not formated.From my past experience with other hd's it was not like that.So could it be that harddrive is not good.Its few moths old,and i have 2 exactly the same samsung harddrives.Have tried both of them getting the same problems with both.(There is only one harddrive connected to the system now to be clear)
Can you suggest me some good program for checking harddrive for errors?I have used the one from windows,is it good enough?
Well thank you for your time and your help.
Have a nice day!!!

I cant install windows via Bootcamp because I get an error. Help?

Every time I try to install windows with Boot Camp assistant, I get the error:
The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.
The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows.
I looked at my Disk Utility and I only have one partition. I tried something out in terminal which lets you see hidden partitions and I saw that I had a second partition labeled EFI but that shouldn't be affecting Boot Camp Assistant right?
Anyways does anybody know how to fix this I really want to run windows natively on my macbook.

Cant Install Windows 98SE. Please help!

Please can anyone tell me if they have successfully installed win 98SE on this motherboard. I have spent many hours with no success. Using the same CD player and installation disc installs fine on my old computer. However with the 865PE/G Neo2-P motherboard it doesnt it work. Bios recognises HD and CD. After partitioning and formatting the HD and booting up with the WIN98 start up disc setup command doesnt work. Error message Device driver not found MSCD001 No valid CD rom drives selected. Have tried using WIN98 full version and Win 98SE upgrade but no success. Any advice would be appreciated please.

I installed Windows 98 with no problems. Your hardware specs will be suitable to analyze your systems possible outfall.

Cant install windows with boot camp

I had a new hard drive put in my moms macbook. I had the old drive cloned and then put on the larger hard drive. I want to install Windows in bootcamp, I did this before on the old hard drive with no problem. Now when I try and run bootcamp I get this message:
[IMG]http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j164/wonderings/Picture1abc.png[/IMG]
I went into disk utilities to see how the hard drive was formated and it appears to be extended (journaled):
[IMG]http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j164/wonderings/Picture2abc.png[/IMG]
I am a bit confused as to what to do now, the first time I had no problems at all. Any help would be appreciated.
this is running Leopard with the latest updates.
Thanks

It has to be formatted using GUID - your second shot shows "Apple Partition Map" (APM) instead which won't work.
