IMac won't boot from Windows USB install stick

I have a iMac 7.1, the first gen Intel iMac, now running Moutain Lion 10.8.2. I installed Windows 7 via bootcamp two years ago via a flash disk, and the installation was smooth and easy. Now I want to try some Windows 8. I used the Windows USB install tool to clone the install disk into a flash drive and tested the flash drive on a windows computer first. It was working properly. But my iMac just couldn't boot from the flash disk when I pressed the option button during start-up. There's no icon for the flash disk. Then I clone the old Windows 7 install ISO into the flash disk, it wouldn't show in the boot options either! Why? Is it because of some firmware update? Why the same Windows 7 install image I used two years a ago can't boot now for the same iMac? Please help. Thanks!
Jeff

I believe mende1's response is slightly incorrect. On older Mac computers that came with an internal DVD drive the only way to install Windows on those Mac's is from that internal DVD drive. Even if you connect an external DVD drive OS X and or the Mac computer Firmware will not allow the Win install DVD to boot from that external DVD drive. It must be done from the internal DVD drive. So if yours has failed then you would need to have it replaced before you can install Windows on your Mac.
I know this from personally trying to install Windows from an external DVD drive even when there is an internal DVD still in the system. My late 2011 MBP would not load the Win install from the external DVD drive but would from the internal DVD drive.

How to "Create a Windows 7 install disk" on Mountian Lion w/Bootcamp 5

It's basically the same way you create one with previous Bootcamp & OS verisons.
Finder -> Applications -> Utilities -> Select Bootcamp -> Show Package Contents
Open "Info.plist"
Scroll until you see whats listed below.
<key>PreUSBBootSupportedModels</key>
          <array>
                    <string>MacBook7,1</string>
                    <string>MacBookAir3,2</string>
                    <string>MacBookPro8,3</string>
                    <string>MacPro5,1</string>
                    <string>Macmini4,1</string>
                    <string>iMac12,2</string>
                    <string>iMac11,2</string>
          </array>
Remove the "Pre" in "PreUSBBootSupportedModels"
Then it will ask if you want to make a copy of the file, click yes.
Now in the new "plist" file cut out "MacBook7,1" in the top line and replace with your Model Identifier (Can be found in "System Information" under "Hardware Overview")
Save this file as "Info.plist"
After save the old "Info.plist" file as "Old.Info.plist" and move to the trash can (May as for log in info to do so)
Then after that file is in the trash move the NEW "Info.plist" (The one you edited) to the Bootcamp Content folder in place of the other one.
If everything is done right you should now be able to "select/disselect" the "Create a Windows 7 install disk" in bootcamp.
You're welcome,
Avery

I recently bought my Mac MIni 2010 Model, yes i know, 2010 Model?! But that's what i can afford for now since i already have an Apple Cinema display, an Apple Wireless keyboard and a Magic Mouse.
When i tried opening the Boot camp assistant, since my Mac has an optical drive, only two options were shown and the "Create Windows USB install disk" option wasn't there at all.
So i searched the net for help and i found only one that answers my query (http://forums.atomicmpc.com.au/index.php?showtopic=51873), however, after following the tutorial, it didn't work and my Boot Camp assistant ended up crashing (quit unexpectedly). So i reverted the process and my Boot camp assistant went back, up and running but still no third option.
So disappointed, i went back to the "info.plist" that i was working on (using Xcode) and tried to mess around with the contents.
Then after over an hour of trial and error, i decided to just revert the changes that i did and quit. As i was clicking on the , and because i was a noob, i deleted by mistake the entire array of strings containing "Boot ROM Versions" that allows some mac models to boot windows using usb and when i click cmd+z, it just won't undo it.
So i guess, i was screwd! So nervous that i thought i killed the app, i closed the "info.plist" and checked if the Boot Camp assistant would still launch.
To my surprise, it actually opened! And to my astonishment, it even shows the third option! I guess, no one has ever did this, as we speak!
So you can call me an Accidental Hacker LOL! To all of you who understands fully the function of "info.plist" - any thoughts?

Yoga Tablet 2 8" - How to install Windows 8.1 Professional?

Hi folks,
how can I install Windows 8.1 Professional on my Yoga Tablet 2 8"? I dont want to use "Windows 8.1 with Bing" because I still own a Professional Version of Windows which I could use.
The Tablet doesn't want to boot from USB. It's always saying "There is no USB-Boot Option, please choose another one". How can I install an alternate OS on this tablet?

Why you chinese guys never answer to people if something's not possible? You "don't lose your face", just answer if its possible or not. Arigato!

Installing Linux on Yoga Tablet 2 Pro 13" that comes with Android

Hello all,
has anyone yet tried to install a Linux distribution on the Tablet 2 Pro 13" to replace the Android it comes with? Does the Android version of this tablet even boot from USB media, or is locked in some way?
That tablet with Linux would just be perfect for my needs, and unfortunately the Windows variant of it is not really an option (heavier, not yet available in Europe)...
Thanks,
Daniel

I've experienced something very simliar. I plugged the tablet (Yoga Tablet 2 Pro 13.3) into a computer USB port by accident, then quickly disconnected while the PC was trying to install driver. After that, I could not get the tablet to charge from high power AC adapters, including one shipped with the tablet. The only way I could get the device to charge was to use a lowly Amazon Kindle AC adapter - but it was so slow I estimated it would have taken 40 hours. I reset to factory, tried all these different "tricks" from this forum, but to no avail. Just when I was ready to send it back, a firmware update was issued. I thought I would give it a go.. After the update, everything is now back to normal. But it was such an upleasant experience for otherwise an excellent device.

Bluetooth driver problem on windows 8.1 Yoga Tablet 2-1051f

Hi,
I just purchased my yoga tablet 2 but i can't bluetooth get working.
Bluetooth device has status "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)". Currently installed driver from microsoft, version 6.3.9600.17093. Also I'v tried to install driver for bluetooth from http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/tablets/yoga-series/yoga-tablet-2-1051 but it didn't bring any changes. After trying to reinstall driver I'v noticed errors in event log: 1. The address of the local Bluetooth adapter is not valid, Source: BthMini, Event ID: 2; 2.The driver has been unloaded, Source: BthMini, Event ID: 17.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Problem solved.
I have found the way to set BT on.
Instead Fn+F5 I have found on the section "Lenvo Internet Connection", a function that call "Radio Wireless".
Now I'm happy.

Dual-Booting Windows and Android on Yoga Tablet 2 13?

So I am a big fan of the lenovo yoga tablet so I started looking into the new versions of the tablet and I came upon something curious. both the yoga tablet 2 pro and the yoga tablet 2 13 (windows) have the same processor (a 64-bit processor) as well as very similar technical specs(the main difference being the windows edition has 4GB of ram instead of 2GB and a larger battery no doubt due to the removal of the integrted pico projector). as well Lenovo has the source code for the android build in the pro available on the website.
So my question is if both are running off the same 64-bit processor is there anything stopping someone from compiling the yoga 2 pro source code and installing the yoga 2 pro android OS onto the Windows version of the tablet (dual-booting both) aside from secure boot needing to be disabled?
after scouring the internet and asking a few lenovo representatives I have found absolutely no information on this (the lenovo reps I spoke to couldn't even confirm the specs of the processors but I found that data from the intel ark database) and it is something I really would like to do if possible (especially with android 5.0 having x86 support integrated in the vanila build)
So anyone have any information on anyone trying this or something similar being attempted?

so, lenovo putted a really bad bios on thoses tablets.
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-based-Tablets/Alternatives-OSes-and-CMS-under-Yoga-1051/td-p/190...
To make it short, the uefi bios used on yoga tablets support only x86 so, the x86-64 instruction set can't be used, on windows. Without CSM (compatibility support module) you can't even try to boot some oses. For linux you need to mod it, i'll try later but, i can't build a new bios and lenovo is not present on this board

Wie stellt man den Werkszustand auf einem Yoga Tablet 2 mit Windows 8.1 her ?

Yoga Tablet 2 mit Windows 8.1
Wie versetze ich ein Yoga Tablet 2 mit Windows 8.1 (ohne Tastatur) wieder in den Werkszustand zurück.
Viele Möglichkeiten gibt es an einem reinen Tablet ja nicht.

Weiterführende Auswahl
Da wir nichts mehr wichtiges auf dem Tablet haben und alle Daten vorher gesichert worden sind...
Das kann man auf eine Micro SDHC oder mittels Auslagerung in die Cloud erledigen.
berühren wir den Menupunkt

Zur Bestätigung kommt nochmal ein Bildschirm ..
Reset your PC (Tablet)
Here´s what will happen
* All your personal files and applications will be removed

Windows 7 Install USB not recognized.

There are countless threads with problems similar to this, but endless searching and googling has gotten me nowhere.
I am on an iMac running OS X Version 10.8.3 (just upgraded to mountain lion from snow leopard 10.6 yesterday).
I have two USB sticks, one I have successfully installed the windows support software on, and the other I have successfully created a windows 7 install disk.
I am unable to even begin the windows install- no matter what I do I can't get the computer to recognize this USB as a bootable device.
I have tried going through bootcamp and can initial the windows install, but then I get the black screen "No bootable disc.. press any key to continue."
If I try restarting the computer and holding and "option" button, the USB does not show up as an option.
I have tried bootcamping this mac for MONTHS to no avail. I really don't know what else to do. Thanks for your help.

okay, so I have the MBP Retina and I also get the "No bootable disc.. press any key to continue." message. Funny thing is, it worked perfectly fine before using the exact same iso file and usb. I wanted to install windows a-new and now get this error, no matter what I do. When I installed Windows for the first time I still had ML 10.8.0 or 10.8.1. No with 10.8.3 it won't work anymore. I have already played around with the info.plist file, without any results.
any ideas?!

Windows 7 Install - Blackscreen/USB drive

Hello,
I'm trying to install Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit) on my iMac (late 2009) and unable to get past the dread blackscreen that is posted on the Apple Support help pages (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173).
I've reformated the USB drive, added the drivers as described, but unable to get past a certain point in the install. I can get to the Windows 7 install screen, reformated the partition and then it will reboot successfully a couple of times,. However when its at the "completing install" phase and it reboots once again, then it gets stuck at the blackscreen. I imagine its at this point that the drivers should be recognized on the USB, but aren't. Which is odd, as I'm able to use the screen, mouse and keyboard throughout most of the install without issue.
I assume it's because it is unable to find the drivers on the USB key and unsure what else to do. Does it make a difference which USB port I use? Also, the USB drive is "old" (5 yrs +). Perhaps that's an issue?
I'm stumped and looking for help. Feel free to ask more questions if you think I've left out some important details.
Thanks.

Well, seems the issue was actually the old USB key (256MB). Installed the drivers onto a new 8G USB and no issues. Worked like a charm.

Yoga Tablet 2 With Windows 8.1 as a Point of Sale Device and Clerking an Auction

First of all, the touch response within Windows 8.1 is excellent. I do physical labor and my hands have a lot of calluses and scars on them and I've always had problems using touchscreens. It's thus a joy to use this tablet with Windows, as I must say that the touch response is excellent.
Clerking an auction in the company I am with using Android and Windows are pretty much similar. However, the differences come at the end of the auction during checkout. Using Android, the bidders still have to queue up at the checkout counter to have their credit cards scanned and their pick tickets and receipts printed. With the Yoga 2 with Windows, I can scan their cards with a Windows app and the camera and print their receipts wirelessly through our wireless printer.
We recently opened a store in the auction facility and decided to use the auction program as a Point of Sale application. We figured we could use tablets and the program would give us a good accounting of sales and expenses and inventory control. It worked!! We've been using tablets for awhile now and was able to do away with all the paper except for the pick tickets and receipts.
To start with, we have to enter the inventory in the system. It's time consuming with pen and paper, it all has to be counted and then transferred into the computer. Using the tablet, it's counted and entered into the system all at once and there's even the ability to take a picture of the item being counted and entered also. Each item is assigned an item number which is labeled on that item. We also take consignments, we have the ability to list the products by consignors and generate a report so we know what we need to pay the consignor at any given time.
(The Yoga Tablet 2 with the dashboard open. The Yoga Tablet 2 is on the left.)
Anybody who wants to purchase an item in the store or bid on an item at one of our auctions has to register and be issued a buyers number or a bidder number. We can enter their email address on this form and send them coupons or sale notices. A buyer or bidder can opt out of this if they so desire.
Once a buyer is registered, they are now free to purchase an item in the store or bid on an item in an auction. For the most part, this is the window that a clerk will see.
Once the items are sold to the buyer, then it is time to check out. Enter the buyer number in the box and options will come up to pay, either by cash, check, credit card or Paypal and this is where a tablet with Windows comes in handy because Windows will recognize a credit card scanner and will print receipts wirelessly to an online printer. Android will also scan a credit card, but I haven't been able to get Android to print from an online printer yet.
The Yoga 2 makes an excellent Point of Sale device, it is light, fast, small, and it runs cool. There is a video below that shows the hands on experience.
Thank you Lenovo for giving me the opportunity to try this out.

How to Create a Windows 7 USB install disk

If you want to install Windows from a USB drive, you'll need the Boot Camp Assistant (version 4.0.1) and a MacBook Air. I don't know why it won't let you do it on other Macs and MacBooks (the option still shows up, only it's greyed out) - if you made it work on anything other than a MacBook Air, let me know how you did it. So, besides that, you also need an empty USB drive and a genuine Windows ISO file.
However, if in your case the Windows USB creation option is greyed out, this is what you can do:
You create the Windows installation USB, using one of these two ways (I used the first one):
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd535816.aspx
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
You create the Windows partition with BCA.
In System Settings, you choose the newly created BOOTCAMP partition as the startup disk and restart your Mac.
Have your Windows USB inserted before your Mac restarts.
As soon as your Mac boots from the BOOTCAMP partition, it should start loading Windows Setup from the USB drive.
I have an early 2009 MacBook and these steps worked for me. It's a workaround... but it works. Let me know if it worked for you.
* If none of this works for you, there is another workaround, using 3rd party software (rEFIt). However, I don't recommend using it, unless you know what you're doing.
* Disclaimer - This info comes as is and I do not guarantee that it will work for you. Nor do I guarantee that it will not cause any malfunction to occur on your Mac computer.

you restart your mac and as soon as it boots up (usually you hear the dvd making a noise, or the gong sound), you hold down the Alt key until you see a screen that shows you all the partitions/drives you can boot from. you select the boot camp one, while the windows usb installation disk is inserted and it should boot up from the usb. it worked for me, but I can't guarantee it will work for you too... depending on your model. mine is an early-2009 macbook.
