    this is my MBP information: MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013), i7/ 8G/ 256 flash, serial number: C0*****FT0.   Yeah, I'm trying to re-install windows 7 back on Bootcamp partition, but always happens to the following problem.

    Please do not post your serial number on a public forum.

     

    You need to erase the NTFS partition (not remove it) and format it as FAT32. Clean the MBR, otherwise the installation will not work.Then use the Bootcamp Assistant created USB with W7 ISO and BC drivers to install it on this FAT32 partition.

    Thank you for reminding me that.

    1. You can convert the volume to FAT32 - diskutil eraseVolume FAT32 BOOTCAMP disk0s3

    2. Use GPT Fdisk (http://sourceforge.net/projects/gptfdisk/) and put GPT 2,3,4 in the Hybrid MBR.

    3. Install Windows on GPT 3.

    Thank you. I just downloaded the GPT Fdisk but I don't know how to do the second step you listed. BTW I have limited knowledge about it, so I will be very appreciated if you teach me how to do that.

    Steps for recreating Hybrid MBR. Your 'p' output will look different than in this example. In your case GPT3 is the equivalent of GPT4 in the example, use defaults as suggested by Gdisk.

     

    sudo gdisk /dev/disk0

    GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.10

     

    Warning: Devices opened with shared lock will not have their

    Now Reboot and verify the output of fdisk again.

    I still don't know how to use GPT Fdisk. There are a lot file in the folder.

    Can you start Gdisk using

     

    This is Gdisk

     

    type gdisk

    gdisk is /usr/sbin/gdisk

     

    To start Gdisk

     

    sudo gdisk /dev/disk0

    If you downloaded the package and ran the installer, it should be in /usr/sbin/gdisk.


    ls -l /usr/sbin/gdisk

     

    If it does not show up try the following command

     

    sudo find / -name gdisk -print -exec ls -l {} \;

    I download a installer. it works. I went to the this step in your reply: "

    Enter an MBR hex code (default AF): AF

    Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): n

    Mine is :

    Creating entry for GPT partition #2 (MBR partition #2)

    Enter an MBR hex code (default 07): 07

     

     

    Should I enter the default value 07? and which partition should I set the bootable flag?

    Since you have two MS Data partition, DATA can be 07, but GPT#3 should be 0B. Once you install windows on GPT#3, The Installer should mark it as bootable in the MBR.
