Select CD-ROM Boot Type Error installing Windows 7 in Boot Camp walkthrough
Much thanks to John Anderson at AndersonHatch.com for his excellent
walkthrough for installing Windows 7 x64 in Boot Camp.
Since his post there has been an update to ImgBurn which adds a few
screens and dialogues whose proper navigation may not be obvious. He
also left out a few choices that SHOULD be obvious but you know how
THAT goes.
Here then, cribbing liberally (plagiarizing, actually) from John's
walkthrough, but including some "for idiots" footnotes (which are
more for my own benefit than yours), is the most current (as of March,
2010) walkthrough, which presumes you have a DVD of Win7 (if you
downloaded an iso file from somewhere I'm sure the instructions are
similar but I'm not exactly sure how. Perhaps someone can add a
comment with this variation?)
ON A WINDOWS MACHINE:
1: Download and install ImgBurn.exe from the cloud.
2: Insert your Windows 7 Install DVD, preferably into your
---DVD-ROM drive but if possible into an orifice of whomever is
---responsible for ordinary shmoes like you and me having to spend an
---entire day Googling this problem and then following a simple
---27-step procedure to do the most basic thing you can do on a computer
---which is to install an OS. This is before we can even use the computer
---to do anything useful which at this point is a dubious prospect. But I
---digress...
3: Extract your boot image as follows:
---a. Using ImgBurn, go to "Build" mode. All fields should be blank at
-----this point.
---b. Select the "Advanced" tab.
---c. Select the "Bootable Disc" tab
---d. In the dropdown under "Extract boot Image" select your DVD drive
-----and then click on the the little disk icon to the right of the
-----dropdown. A "Save As" window opens. Choose a location on your hard
-----drive to save to and keep the filename "BootImage" and click "Save."
-----This operation only takes a few seconds. ImgBurn presents a dialogue
-----box upon success.
---e. When it asks if you would you like to use the boot image file in
-----your current project say "Yes."
4: Add your disk to your new disc image
---a. On the left side of the ImgBurn window in the "Source" panel
-----click the little folder icon (second down from the plus sign)
-----and browse to select your Windows 7 Install DVD (Just select
-----the entire drive, no files or folders inside it). Hit OK.
---b. Select the "Options" tab on the right. Data Type: MODE1/2048.
-----File System: ISO9660. UDF Revision 1.02.
---c. Only the "Recursive Subdirectories" checkbox should be checked.
---d. Select the "Advanced" tab again.
---e. Select the "Restrictions" tab
---f. Select “Level X – 219 Characters”
---g. Select "Standard" character set.
---h. Select only the following checkboxes:
-----Allow More Than 8 Directory Levels
-----Allow More Than 255 Characters In Path
-----Allow Files Without Extensions
-----Don't Add ';1: Version Number To Tiles
---i. Select the “Bootable Disc” tab again. Make sure “Make image
-----bootable” is checked.
---j. Select "Emulation Type: None (Custom)" in dropdown.
---k. The "Boot Image" (which should already be filled in if you said
-----"Yes" in 3e) should be a path to the file "BootImage.ima." If not,
-----select the BootImage.ima file you created in Step 3.
---l. Load Segment: 07C0
---m. Sectors to Load: 8
5: Build your new iso.
---a. Under "Extract Boot Image" select your DVD-ROM drive again.
---b. Enter a name for your new iso on the left under "Destination."
-----Use the folder icon to the right of the dropdown, or enter a
-----filename manually. You can call it anything. I called mine "New7."
-----Make sure you are saving it to your hard drive, not back to the
-----DVD-ROM drive.
---c. The "Source" field in the upper left should be blank but the
-----directory is "D/:' I know this is confusing but trust me.
---d. Click the big folder pointing at a disc document icon at the
-----bottom left to create your new image! This operation may take
-----a few more minutes of your precious life. Oh well, there's plenty
-----where those came from...
---e. Here is where ImgBurn gets way too helpful. Decline its offer to
-----change the setting from "UDF" to ISO9660 + UDF." Just say "No."
---f. Laugh at the politically correct dialogue for "Confirm Volume
-----Label" and click "Yes" or just wait 30 seconds for the
-----programming gremlin to do it for you.
---g. Click "OK" for the useless (to non-propellerheads) "File,
-----Content, and Data" info dialogue box (but thank you ImgBurn!)
6: Burn your new iso.
---a. Go to burn mode, baby.
---b. Select the iso file you created in 5b.
---c. Remove your Windows 7 Install DVD and insert a blank DVD,
-----preferably into your DVD-ROM drive but...
---d. Select your destination blank DVD and click the "Burn" button.
If you have ADHD like me you can skip the "Verify" cycle (the disk is
probably fine) and use it to install Windows 7 x64 on your Mac and
return to your regularly scheduled life.
Enjoy!You cannot stuff a UEFI into an EFI32 ROM, there isn't room; EFI32 is 2005-2008; UEFI 2.x was the first to support 64-bit.
Apple does have an article on which Macs DON'T support 64-bit Windows (I think it actually just says my Mac Pro 2006 doesn't support Windows 7, which of course I am running! But had extra hoops.
It is possible to install Windows 7 32-bit on one drive, then boot into that, and install Windows 7 64-bit ON A SEPARATE drive or partition (my mac has 4 internal drives). Else, you get into 'triple boot' and the pitfalls and problems.
Technology changes and you can't always go back. Even having a 64-bit processor is only part of the equation. -
Windows 7 RC "select CD boot type" message
Hello
I have tried installing Windows 7 RC on my MacBook Pro 3,1 with no luck.
When i boot from the DVD it asks me to select CD Boot Type, but the keybord is frosen, or the mac is frosen, cant tell.
anybody that knows howe to get past this???If you don't have Windows installed already, I don't know of any method to modify the DVD.
If you have Windows, you can upgrade from Vista SP1.
You can use Imgburn in Windows - including Fusion, Parallels or VirtualBox, to rebuild the ISO.
Start IMGBURN in Build Mode
Advanced tab -> Bootable Disc
Extract Boot Image
First thing you will want to do is extract the boot image off of the DVD created from the .iso downloaded from the beta site, you can access this while in "Build" mode.
You should get a dialogue asking if you want to have Imgburn automatically setup the Bootable Disc – Make Image Bootable options to be filled in for you.
While that DVD you burned is still in the drive, and after you've extracted the boot image somewhere to your hard drive, click the button to browse for a folder to add the files from the DVD to the image. Just add the root of the drive, you should then have something that looks like this.
Now go and select folder source as your DVD drive with the ISO you downloaded and burned to the DVD.
We are about to write to disk a new ISO after filling in the Restrictions and Options we want
(see Jowie again if needed) When you save to disk drive with new ISO filename, it will give you a summary of sectors, size and then start writing image file.
I was successful with prior builds of Windows 7, and Vista SP1 64-bit, but not RC - yet.
Quoted from earlier thread:
Using latest Imgburn and following tips on what options to select, I was able to take and modify the ISO to allow booting and not getting the EFI boot menu.
+*made a bootable DVD Windows Ultimate (7077) 64-bit using the latest Imgburn and tips from Jowie.*+
http://jowie.com/blog/post/2008/02/24/Select-CD-ROM-Boot-Type-prompt-while-tryin g-to-boot-from-Vista-x64-DVD-burnt-from-iso-file.aspx
http://www.imgburn.com/
Just entered the parameters from Jowie and it did the rest.
Took DVD I had burned with 7077, wrote to disk, modifies it, and when burned back to new (bootable) DVD. Also worked with the system recovery CD that Windows 7 now offers to create, just have to redo the CD, but boots fine and lets me see and repair both Vista and Windows 7 operating system volumes.
Maybe something changed in 7100 RC build. -
Hi everyone
Ive set up a partition for boot camp but after I restart my computer I get
"1.
2.
Select CD-Rom Boot Type:_"
My keyboard wont work though, so I cant get past this part. Anyone got any ideas for a fix or anyone know why this is happening? Im only guessing because I wasnt able to download the windows support softwareIt would help us help you if you provided some details about your computer and the steps you took to partition your hard drive and install Windows. You did follow the Boot Camp installation guide right? And you installed the drivers from the OSx disk right? If you got any errors during partition and installation what did they say?
Per the install guide, you are not using a wireless mouse and keyboard right? -
Installing Win 7 on Boot Camp won't install to the hard drive
Hey, I'm installing Windows 7 64-BIT onto my Mac,
Steps I've taken, logged onto an administrator account, ran boot camp assistant, selected Hard Drive 2 (1TB, practically empty it is not my Mac OSX Boot Drive), selected "create second partition for windows", gave it 131GB clicked partition, I saw the BOOTCAMP hard drive show up on my desktop now.
I inserted the Win764BIT dvd I made, BootCamp prompted for it, I clicked OK...
It restarts, windows 7 setup loads, I get to the point where I selected the Boot Camp hard drive, and click Format, it finishes, I click Next, and it says:
Windows is unable to install to the selected location: error 0x80300024, the partition I am installing to is: Disk 1: Partition 3 (although there is, Disk 0, and 2 other unknown partitions of 128MB for Disk 0, and then Disk 1 Partition 3, and 2 other unknown partitions of 128MB for Disk 1.
EDIT: I did rename the ISO file I downloaded from: "7100.0.090421-1700x64fre_client_en-us_retail_ultimate-grc1culxfrer_endvd.iso" to "win764.iso".
Can anyone help me with this?
Kind Regards
Message was edited by: SteelbomThere should be a selection screen, and try #2. I think that is called EFI Boot. I can't, because of EFI32 1.1, and 64-bit Windows and Apple are looking for UEFI 2.x / EFI64.
I had Windows Vista, and installed Windows 7 to another hard drive partition with the DVD written to disk (8GB) on another partition. Install off hard drive was fast, and never even boot from DVD.
For people with trouble with the boot selection:

Need help with windows install
I am trying to install windows 7 64 bit on my macbook pro 2006 running a leopard OS and it keeps saying select cd rom boot type. what do I do?
You don't need a Windows machine to burn the iso to a DVD, if you use "Disk Utility" just burn it at the slowest speed possible and it should work. (unless your doing the work around to get it to work)
Just make sure you use a program that will make it a bootable image tho, you can't just drag the files over to it and let it burn, it has to end up being bootable in order to boot into the installer.
Apple (Boot Camp) will only support NTFS so as part of installing Windows 7 just chose NTFS as the format while booted from the Windows installer.
Basically, start Boot Camp Assistant, download the drivers, make the partition size you want, (doesn't matter what you format it as now, Windows will do it again with the one you need) it will then boot into the Windows installer and you will eventually get to the part where you can format it to NTFS, it will do it's thing and reboot into the new Windows 7 desktop and you will then install the drivers.
Good luck..... -
MacBook Pro 15" (Late 2013) will not install Windows 8.1 Pro under Boot Camp?
Have spent many hours trying to sort this out. I was told this morning in the end by a 'Senior Advisor' @ Apple that Boot Camp does not support Windows 8.1 Pro so effectively it seems like my only option for a new machine purchased earlier in the week is to return for a refund.
This despite the Apple Spec saying "
Windows 8: Windows 8 or 8.1, Windows 8 or 8.1 Pro (Boot Camp 5 only)"
The subject has been aired in thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5474320?start=585&tstart=0 but it has been suggested I post a fresh thread.
I have purchased a new 8.1 Pro license, so this is not an upgrade. I have followed the Boot Camp instructions, including getting the update for this model spcifically, but the nearest I got to a successful install returns soemthing of the like 'Unable to update boot settings' or the like and installation cancels. My machine is a mess I guess now, but in a final effort - does anyone have the step by step 'idiots guide' to working through the setup successfully? I don't want to get involved in massses of messing around with files as this should clearly not be necessary for achieving an advertised solution on a new machine bought within the last week should it?
Appreciate any help - I have up to seven more days left in my option to return for a full refund..... and maybe buy a Dell instead?
PS : We have many Apple products, Air, ipads and iphones so would dearly like to sort this out if possible.
Thanks for any help...8/8.1 will install fine but there's some stuff you need to do before starting to ensure no issues
purchase a retail 8/8.1 license
use only a USB2 flash drive
get a clean 8 or 8.1 ISO
newer machines are more selective with the ISO for some reason (ISOs that worked to install Windows on many different older Macs would not work)
if you've made lots of changes, hacks and adjustments trying to get this work on your own, you should clean install OSX first, do not restore from time machine and start at step 3 to get Windows installed, you can go back later and copy files back to OSX
if you want to try without clean installing OSX, here goes
open boot camp assistant (bca) and choose option 3 ONLY if it reads 'remove/delete' Windows
open disk utility (du) and confirm that your HD now only has 1 single partition ('macintosh HD' unless you've renamed it)
restart machine and do a PRAM reset
open du and repair permissions TWICE
open bca and choose all 3 options (create, download, install)
from here, the process follows the standard boot camp instructions (http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf) but pay attention to step 3 where you do have to manually reformat the boot camp partition
clean ISOs

Install Windows XP in Leopard WITHOUT Boot Camp - No More Disk Error
For those of you having problems installing Windows XP in Boot Camp because of the formatting screen never showing up and then the system restarting with the dreaded:
Press any key to boot from CD .....
Disk Error
Press any key to restart
I too spent many frustrating hours trying to find a solution that worked. I searched these threads, tried many of the solutions suggested here and elsewhere, including recreating the Windows CD without a specific file, using the FreeDOS boot CD (couldn't ever get it to work, though I understand some people have had success), Reinstalling Leopard and trying again, dancing around the laptop with incense three times counter clockwise while chanting the name of my childhood pet... etc.
I FOUND A NEW SOLUTION!!!! A much easier solution!!!!
For anyone who is having this problem and is planning to run virtualization software.
(Something that let's you run Windows from inside Leopard)
SKIP BOOT CAMP ALTOGETHER!!!
USE VMware Fusion to install Windows.
I decided to try a different approach entirely and did a completely fresh install of Leopard (not sure if that was necessary or not but with everything else I had been trying I wanted to clean it up anyhow) and then installed the 30 day trial version of Fusion w/ the unlock key VMware emailed me.
I entered my information and Windows product key into Fusion's "Easy Install" Interface, clicked install, and about 30 minutes later I was browsing around in XP.
I HIGHLY recommend this option for anyone having difficulty with the formatting screen not showing up. I have a Bachelors Degree in Information Systems and still spent the better part of 2 days working on this boot camp problem, including numerous hours with the higher tier of apple's tech support. I suspect that those of us having this problem may have an OEM or systembuilder copy of XP... but that is for Apple to deal with - not me, I have better things to do with my time.
If you are planning to run Windows from within Leopard anyhow, just buy Fusion and to **** with the hassle.
You can go to VMware's website and get a 30 day evaluation copy to see if this will work for you before you decide if you want to purchase it, they will email you the unlock key.
Best of luck, hope this saves someone some time!For what it's worth, I've used the OEM version (copper disk), Select version (bulk license), and an NFR (partner program) version of XP Pro with SP2 and they all worked. On my MacBook Pro's I use boot camp to split the disk in two, reboot using the Windows CD, and pick the partition to format it.
Apple states that you need a full version of Windows, and the OEM versions are slightly different from the commercial versions, but both should work. On my Mac Pro, I created a 3-disk OS X RAID-0, and left the 4th disk alone. I rebooted with the Windows CD and installed Windows to the 4th disk without Bootcamp at all. Once Windows was installed, I used the Leopard disk to install the Bootcamp drivers. The Mac side has no Bootcamp installation but I can still choose between the volumes by holding down the option key at boot time or by setting the startup volume in the OS X Startup disk preference pane.
The solution to use virtualization, unfortunately, will not work for many situations where graphics are involved. Most current major products, such as AutoCAD, 3dsMax, and so forth, will not run properly or at all without specific DirectX 9 or OpenGL support. To date both Parallels and VMWare do not completely support DirectX or OpenGL. -
Boot Camp Windows install format to NTFS not working.
As a preface I am new to Apple and more complex computer issues in general. With that said I have spent several hours trying to get Windows 8.1 installed from the DVD media to a partition created using Boot Camp Assistant. I have tried several suggestions and looked through many threads, blogs and articles and none seem to have the correct answer. Below are the steps that I have followed and the issue that I run into every time.
Open Boot Camp Assistant
Select Download the latest Windows support software from Apple
Select Install Windows 7 or later version
Download support software to USB Drive (leave connected)
Create a Partition (200GB)
Hold Option on Reboot and Select Windows
Begin the Windows install process
Select Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)
Installation asks: Where do you want to install Windows?
Select Drive 0 partition 4: BOOTCAMP
Error Message Details:
Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style.
Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. Windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS.
Solution I found from many threads is that I need to "Format" the partition. To do so I:
Select Drive 0 Partition 4: BOOTCAMP
Select Format
Select Drive 0 Partition 4 (No longer titled as BOOTCAMP after the reformat)
Error Message Details:
Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style.
I cant seem to find a solution to this. Any help would be appreciated. I have tried removing all other connected drives and devices, and recreating the partition several times with no luck.
Machine Info:
OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
Mac (27-inch, Late 2013)
Processor: 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
I also have VMware Fusion installed on the machine and already used the Windows installation media to create a virtual machine. Is it possible to transfer my virtual machine to a Boot Camp partition? I did a little research and it looks as though thats not possible (at least not easily) but I figured I'd ask anyway.Sorry for the delayed response. I'm still working to get a solution so any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
The installation media I purchased is for windows 8.1. Is that the issue? Do I need to install 8 not 8.1?

If I install Windows on my Mac using Boot Camp, will I be able to use a Windows Keyboard instead of the Keyboard that came with my Mac?
yeah I use a windows keyboard both in OS X and in windows on my imac I pref the split ms type of keyboard over the tiny apple keyboard and I pref the razor mouse so those are my main input sources in both yosemite and windows8.1
-
I can only use the computer if I press 8 and select "DISABLE DRIVER SIGNATURE ENFORCEMENT". Without this, the system comes up OK but I do not have access to the keyboard and mouse. If I select any other boot option the system boots up but I am
unable to login since neither the keyboard nor the mouse is working.
The Device Manager is clean. All drivers work and have digital signatures. I tried to use local group policy editor to disable digital signature enforcement but was not able to make any difference. The OS is 64-bit Windows 7 Professional with Service Pack
1 and latest updates.
The system includes a WD USB 3.0 card, which I have been using for over 3 years without any problem. I recently (3 days ago) updated the WD SmartWare for Windows software. It seems that my problem coincides with this update. Since then, I removed WD SmartWare
and Installation software and restored the Registry to its previous restore point however the problem still exists.
As per SIGVERIF the not signed drivers are:
difxapi.dll 7/13/2009 2.1.0.0 Not Signed
usbccgp.sys 9/4/2013 6.1.7601.18251 Not Signed
usbd.sys 9/4/2013 6.1.7601.18251 Not Signed

usbport.sys 9/4/2013 6.1.7601.18251 Not Signed
usbuhci.sys 9/4/2013 6.1.7601.18251 Not Signed
The problem appears to be related to the not signed USB drivers.
The current USB 3.0 host controller is from Renesas Electronics (ver. 2.1.39.0). According to the Device Manager it is digitally signed and working fine.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks,
DCThis issue was fixed on my PC as follows.
1) Taking ownership of the above usb*.sys files in the drivers folder
2) renaming them to usb*.sysold
3) Using Device Manager to uninstall all USB devices with the yellow warning ! next to them
4) Doing a Scan for Hardware changes via the Device Manager toolbar and then waiting a few moments whilst the USB devices are re-installed with signed drivers.
Hope this helps you....

I have usb driver in may macbook pro 15 retina. When I installed windows 7 and try to download windows support into a CD, boot camp always said it couldn't find my usb driver. My mac version is 10.8.3
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Install the Windows support software from the USB drive. Note that Boot Camp Assistant, in OS X 10.8.3, doesn't support the option to burn the Windows support software into a disc.
Instead, you can try a different thing. Start in Windows and download the Windows support software in it > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638 Then, decompress the file and run the Boot Camp drivers installer.
If you can't access to the Internet in Windows, start in OS X and download the Windows support software from the same link. Decompress the file, right-click the folder which will show up after decompressing the file and select "Burn". Finally, start in Windows and install the Boot Camp drivers -

I installed windows everythings working great
user recreates scratch drive now I cant see the windows install when i boot
it is there just unable to boot to it.Photoshop only has one Color Palette. If you could script something like a Color Palette with two sets of active sliders the script would be in control till you dismissed its sliders dialog. You would not be able to do anything but adjust the script's sliders in Photoshop while the script dialog window is being displayed. Photoshop Scripting does not have real palette dialog type support.
I do not know what is possible with Photoshop extensions using HTML 5 Panels..... -
Why can't I boot from my windows install disk using an external dvd drive?
My internal disk drive is broken on my computer, so I'm using an external one, but when I put my windows install disk in, it shows up when I'm using the computer, but it doesn't show up when I hold ALT on startup. Why is this?
Alt/Option Boot code is all in ROM. It shows an Icon for each potentially-bootable Volume.
Your Windows install DVD is not directly bootable, and so it does not show an Icon. (An OS 9 Installer CD would not show an Icon either.)
To install Windows, you need to research the use of Boot Camp, the software that provides Mac drivers and facilitates the Installation of Windows on a Mac. There are also Windows restrictions on the use of external drives which you may have to meet.

Access to Draft and Pending is Sharepoint
On my document library everyone with edit permission can see Drafts and Pending. How can I limit this access to people who can only approve it? In versioning setting there is an option for 'Only users who can approve items' but how can I use that?
