Trouble Installing Windows 7 ISO Burned From The Student Deal?
You're not alone. Here are two great articles about the issue, and how to fix it and make yourself a bootable disc:

It has to do with the way the file system is written. Read them both and you should be able to get where you need to be.
Dan,
to my knowledge there is no workaround for using the internal SuperDrive with Boot Camp. I don’t know whether it would be possible to install from your bootable USB into something like VirtualBox — but even if it were possible, the constraints of running a virtualized Windows 7 on a 2008 MacBook Pro might be more painful than replacing the internal SuperDrive.

How can I install windows 7 in bootcamp from the install CD using superdrive
Hey Guys.
I'm a pilot and want to use flight simulator X which is a windows only program. So what I want to do is use bootcamp but when I go into bootcamp assitant I cant partion or install windows from the install CD its asking for a ISO file the following error occurs. "There is no USB drive connected to the system. Please insert a USB drive to continue " but the thing is I dont want to install from USB I want to install from USB Super Drive with the Installation Disk
ThanksMake sure that the option to create a USB installation drive is unticked. Also, Boot Camp Assistant allows you to download the Windows support software onto a USB drive, that you will need after installing Windows to make the computer run correctly. You should do that.
Apart from that, you should be able to continue with the Windows installation. Follow the Apple's steps > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf -
Why did I get charged for the gift card from the student deal with macbook pro?
Why did I get charged for the $100 gift card student deal that came with the macbook pro? I was told that it would be taken credited off my credit card however; that has not happened. Am I missing something? Have other people been charged for this as well?
The same thing happened to me but it made sense.
I ordered a MBPR on Jun 12 for $2879 which qualified for the free student gift card. The gift card was available to ship (delivers June 20 - June 21) but the MBPR wasn't available until a month later (deliverys July 3 - July 10). Instead of holding the gift card until the MBPR was ready, Apple charged me $100 for the card then shipped it to me.
About a month later when the MBPR was ready, Apple charged me $2779 then shipped it. In the end, I was charged the correct amount $2779 + $100 = $2879.
Why did Apple do this? I suspect that some people have cheated Apple by ordering a Mac to get the promotional gift card then canceled their order after the gift card was spent. Apple is trying to protect itself.
BTW, if you return the mac then you're expected to return the gift card. If you've spent any amount of the card then Apple will deduct this from your refund. -
iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 running10.10.2 (14C1514). Trying to install Windows 7 64 bit from an install disc. When attempting to create an ISO image I can save the file in disk utility but can convert cdr to iso. I select the file and the hit return as in step 8 of the Creating an
iSO image document but the box that should open to select use iso does not open. How should I proceed?The Mac SuperDrive built into your Mac is the Optical drive.
1. Insert your Windows DVD in Optical drive. Disconnect any external storage.
2. Insert a USB2 Flash drive. This will be used to hold the BC drivers.
3. Start BCA. Check the options to download software and Install Windows. You do not need to download Windows. The BCA will download the BC drivers to the USB.
4. Partition your drive.
5. You can see the Windows installer screens at https://help.apple.com/bootcamp/mac/5.0/help/#/bcmp173b3bf2. -
my mac book air can't start installation, because i use windows installation in DOS to make partion, now no mac os on it. How to get back the mac os? i have a window based iso image from a friend, because in my country there is no Apple service.
It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition. Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot. Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot. If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that. Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML. If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work.
At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD.
An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again. However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too. -
Trouble Installing Windows 8.1 on Yosemite
I am having trouble installing Windows 8.1 using the Bootcamp utility on OS X Yosemite. I downloaded the ISO file for 64 bit 8.1 from Microsoft and put it onto an 8gb USB drive using Bootcamp. My Macbook Pro is an early 2011 (MacBookPro8,2) and is currently running OS X 10.10.1. I know that my MBP doesn't usually support booting from a USB, so I modified the info.plist file using the steps outlined in this thread:
Enable Bootcamp to install from usb for OSX 10.9**WORKS**
This got it to give me the option to boot from the USB when I held the option key on startup.
I have tried the following methods for installing with different errors for each:
1. Installing using Bootcamp created partition
For this, I went through the normal steps in bootcamp and when I got to the disk partitioning stage, I tried to format the drive 0 partition 4 using the format button. After formatting, it wouldn't allow me to continue because of this error: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk the selcted disk har an MR partition table. On EFI systems, windows can only be installed to GPT disks." This lead me to this thread: Windows can't be installed on Drive 0 Partition 4.. It mentions a difference between EFI v. preUEFI installations, but I don't know how to do a preUEFI installation. Enlighten me anyone?
2. Creating a "free space" partition with Disk Utility
For this, I created a free space partition in disk utility and used the Window's installer to format the partition. This allows me to get to the very end of installation, but I get the error message: "Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed."
BTW, FileVault is turned off.
Any help would be much appreciated!Hi mgallego,
Which step did the error start to occur ?Have you tried to install it again to have a check ?As the information stated, we can restart the machine to have a check.
Here is a link for reference of the requirements of the Windows 8.1 .
System requirements
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-HK/windows-8/system-requirements
There may be a hardware issue here, it is also recommended to look for help from the manufacturer for help.

Install Windows 8.1 Pro from Recovery
I purchased a new W541 machine, knowing that I wanted to install the OS on a new SSD, and not the drive that came with the laptop. The sales person I spoke with mentioned that I should go with Win 8.1 through downgrade rights on Win 7 Pro. In this case, the recovery disk(s)? would come with the laptop and the laptop would have Win 7 installed on it.
However, upon arrival today, there are no such disks. I called tech support and they are going to ship them out. As I understand it, the license key is intergrated into the machine. Can I only install the OS from the Lenovo provided disks, or can I get the iso from Microsoft and install from that?
Thanks!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.All good. I had a clean ISO on a USB stick and installed from that. It was able to find the Windows 8.1 key from the BIOS, so it looks like all is well

I have an intel based mac with 10.6.8 mac os x. How to install windows 7 using usb as the bootcamp doesnot have the option of creating a bootable usb. please help
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can install Windows from a USB drive in one of these computers:
- MacBook Pro with Retina display.
- Mac mini (Mid 2010 and newer).
- MacBook Air.
- iMac (Late 2012).
If you don't have any of these Macs, you can't install Windows through a USB drive. Instead, buy Windows on a DVD. Follow Apple's steps > http://support.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1519/en_US/Boot_Camp_Install-Setup_10.6. pdf -

Did you even tried it yourself????!! with Maverick 10.9.1 you will NOT be able to get pass the bootcamp first page:"install window 7". It will give an error msg saying "The installer disc could not be found"
My usb confirmed bootable! I created it with bootcamp, and tested it on a different macbook and it works. But doesn't work on MacBook Air. (Even startup disk doesn't detect it as bootable in Air)
anyone else has a real solution to this problem?
Thousands have successfully tried it themselves and installed Windows on a Macbook Air. Perhaps if you provided some details about what you did and what errors you observed we could help you. The Boot Camp instaructions, if followed, will produce a successful install. -
Having SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3 I attempted to do a pretty simple task.
Create a capture media for Windows 8 64 Bit and capture the OS.
The system in question is a Dell Latitude 6430u and OEM Windows 8.
The system ran as expected, the capture went as expected, but when I deploy the image (Back to the same laptop mind you)
The following occurs:
Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation.
Things that I've tried:
Set the SATA to various modes as it was on RAID on as speculated in some posts
Saw a posting that suggests pressing SHIFT F-10 to get in to some prompt and run oobe; doesn't work here, I think.
Added Dell Driver Packs for the system
As for log files, I'll check C:\Windows\Panther and see what's there.
Any ideas on how to correct this? Is there a way to go in to the image itself to do so?Sorry, I'm not using CM2007, but CM 2012 SP1, CU3.
I went through the smsts log and found several instances where drivers were missing so I'm guessing that's why it pitched a wobbly about not being a suitable system for the Windows setup.

Which doesn't make sense since the image that I am trying to put on the system is the one I took it from. Before putting the image out I went to Dell's web site and got the Windows 8 drivers for the system and distributed them as I usually do.
I got the drivers from here -
http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/enterprise-client/w/wiki/4372.latitude-6430u-windows-8-driver-cab.aspx
What I don't get is that I can take the Windows 8 install.wim and do an OSD task with it and there is no issue with drivers.
One other thing here is the log from the windows\panther folder:
