Why wont bootcamp read my windows 7 disk?

The disc reads on my windows computer but when I try to have it read from the boot camp program it says the installer disk could not be found. I dont understand this. Please help I need to have windows 7 for work.

If the Optical drive is good, and it can read the DVD, the only missing link that I can see is the Driver that Windows has to access the Optical drive.
Can you verify that you meet the requirements fork Windows 7 - Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems
What version of OSX are you running? (Your signature says Mavericks, so you should be installing a 64-bit W7). Is your disk a 64-bit W7 installer?

  • Why wont bootcamp install the windows support software, I am unable to create a bootable usb

    I have an Acer PC with Windows 7. Files are corrupt on the hard drive and I need to install a fresh windows. I Need to use my iMac to create a bootable USB that i can put a windows iso on it to use on my laptop. Bootcamp will not allow me to do anything except partion my hard drive, or attempt to install Widnows support software, it fails and says tis not able to get the software. Im not sure what to do, i cant find anything after searching through forums, anyone have this problem?

    OK, so I have an apple superdrive hooked up to my mini (along with my Passport back up drive).  I also have  the discs for both 64bit and 32bit Windows along with the product key.  I am still not sure what to do when faced with the options after "choose".

  • Why wont Siri read out my messages and only gives business and traffic ?

    If it wasn't bad enough that SIRI can only give you traffic and business locations in the US "I can only look for businesses, maps, and traffic in the United States, and when your're using U.S. English. Sorry about that." but it wont even read out my text messages. All it says is "Message from xxx" then goes silent then asks if I would like to respond. When I look at the message its full words as we dont like to use slang or TLA's
    Anyone got any ideas and when will it work fully in the UK?

    I'd call it a feature. I don't want Siri reading my messages when I'm in a meeting, and some of the messages could be embarrassing. The iPhone gives you a choice; turn on text message previews if you want Siri to read your messages aloud without unlocking the phone, or turn off if you don't. Compelete control.

  • Zen Micro and Windows 2000 why wont it read play

    I have a laptop with XP on it and a workstation with Win 2000 on it. I installed the drivers and software on both from the CD provided with my 6 GIG Zen Micro. My laptop reads it fine but my workstation does not read it at all I have installed evevrything from the knowledge base that I can find such as the P4S_PCDRV_US__0_00.exe on my win 2000 maching and it stills does nothing. I am running the firmware 2.20.05 on my player and I have the ZenMicroPDE_PCFW_LB___0.exe and used it to install the downgraded dri've to my player but it tells me that all data is going to be lost if I continue does this mean that my media files also or just the firm ware files. If it means both what articles will tell me how to back the player files up?

    DM wrote:But if its faulty then it would not work with Win2k would it's
    The first problem listed though says the player freezes. Based on what's written this doesn't refer to XP.
    For the XP problems it could well be a USB chipset issue.

    I was fially able to get the Media Source organizer to recognize it but I am finding it cumbersome to do anything but upload my entire music library. Unfortunately my entire library has a bunch of 'other stuff' like wav and wma files in addition to some 'books on tape' and they seem to jam up the player.
    Have a look in the FAQ post, search on "connection problems".

  • Why wont Quicken back up to a disk in my new HP 520 1010a computer..

    The program is "Personal Plus" 2009 and runs correctly since being transferred to this new computer,    When the program asks"do I want to Back up"?  I click yes, then pick the corect drive, the back up screen shows but the disk drive does not light up.   The disc drive does seem to work if I use it for other back up tasks.    This failure to back up applies to a new disk or to an existing back up disc

    Before hotmail upgraded their website recently I was able to view the email headers using firefox. Not anymore. I have asked Hotmail support. They suggested to untick HTTP 1.1. This worked for IE but not Firefox. Is there another setting I am missing??

  • Reads Windows 7 Disk in Mac but not in Bootcamp?

    Hi,
    So I have my Windows 7 Disk detected on my Mac so then I opened BootCamp Assistant and then selected the Start Windows Installer, Then Start Installation. It restarts my Mac then it boots from the CD then My Screen goes black and stays black.
    Does anyone know why this is happening?
    Also, I had problems reading Windows Disk Before. And sometimes when I pout My Windows Disk in, It detects it as a Blank CD
    Thanks,

    You created a large enough (32GB or larger ideally) and using 32-bit version, the ISO you burned at half or reduced burn speed?

  • Bootcamp - Windows installation disk won't read

    I have a late-2011, 13 inch MacBook Pro and I am running OS X 10.9.3 with all the latest updates. I am trying to use Bootcamp to runs windows but the windows disk isn't be read by my laptop. I run Bootcamp, it downloads the latest support software but when I put the windows installation disk in; it starts to spin up, makes some noises like it is being read, then it ejects the disk. Anybody have this problem, or now a way around it?

    I have about 8 different burners on my systems, and some will read DVD's better than others will. On my workstation, I have one LG and one Plextor. The LG does the best, and when it fails, the Plextor usually can read. When this happens, I just do a Copy from the drive that can read the disc, to the other drive, using Verbatim, or Taiyo Yuden blank media. If neither can read, I have six others to try. Sometimes, it's just the burner.
    One little hint would be to make sure that your burner's firmware is updated to the very latest. That can improve the burner's ability to read from a slightly damaged disc.
    Otherwise, contact Adobe. For many programs, they sell replacement media. Do not know if there are version limitations, but one call should give you what is available.
    Good luck,

  • Bootcamp won't read windows installer disk

    hey guys, I have a macbook pro, I just downloaded windows 7 from microsoft, I burned a dvd with the files and I partitioned my disk, but i can't install the windows because bootcamp won't read the disk. I get  the following message: the installer disk cannot be found. Insert your windows installer disk and wait a few minutes ti be recognized...
    What is wrong?

    If it's an .iso, you need to open it in Disk Utility, then burn it from there. If you just put a bunch of files onto optical media, then it won't boot. You need to use something like Roxio Toast to burn a bootable disk from files. It knows what needs to be added and how the files should be arranged.
    I've found that with Windows stuff, I'm better off using a Windows utilitiy that understands Windows booting. I use CDBurner XP. It works great and is free.

  • HT3777 why does my boot camp on my mac pro ask for a windows 7 disk

    why does my boot camp on my mac pro ask for a windows 7 disk?  Can I just install my vista home premium in and proceed?

    Lion and Mountain Lion can only install 7 under BootCamp.
    You can load Vista under a VM (virtual machine) such as Parallels or VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox (Oracle ownload).

    Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?

    I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?

    Hello Everyone,
              I have a MacBook older model with me.I am running 10.7.6 on that, I was trying to use BootCamp to install windows on my mac. Since BootCamp can only work on a single Volume, I partitioned my Hard Disk to one volume.
    Using BootCamp I installed windows and everything worked fine. After installing windows and testing everything, I switched back to OS X and this time I tried to make another partition on my single portioned Mac volume and named it Backup. That too worked. Now I have three Volumes
    1)Development2)Backup3)BootCamp.
    Next when I switched to Windows, It should the classic error, No Bootable device found, please insert a Bootable CD and press any key. When I tried to enter my Mac OS X install DVD and by pressing option key, it does not show me the proper Mac OS X development volume. It keeps going back to the No bootable device found message.
    Any help will be much appreciated
    Regards
    Mithun

    you can't add a partition in between - you put Windows to a new partition number.
    GPT (GUID)
    EFI
    Mac HFS
    Lion Recovery
    Windows
    And now you have two HFS
    One partition and one Windows (plus Lion Recovery).
    If you were to have more, it can't be before Windows for one thing.
