Feb 17, 2015 10:19 AM in response to 19Andi90by Eric Root,Can I install Windows on an external drive?
No, Boot Camp requires that Windows be installed on your internal hard disk.
From this Apple support article.

Feb 17, 2015 10:10 PM in response to Loner Tby 19Andi90,The USB-Flash Drive should be ok because i used it befor and it worked.
Only two thinks are different:
1. i installed yosemite new without my personal stuff
2. i took another win7-iso (but as i told this is not the problem because i used the old one i had)
Do you think i had to recover the hole system?
thanks for helping me :-)

Feb 17, 2015 10:23 PM in response to 19Andi90by Loner T,In Bootcamp Assistant, you should have three options,
1. Create Windows installer
2. Download Software
3. Install/Remove Windows...
If you choose only 1 and 2, are you able to create a USB? Just to confirm, your Mac is a 2013 iMac (Model Identifier 14,x).

Feb 19, 2015 4:56 AM in response to 19Andi90by Loner T,If you can post your image, it will help in diagnosing the problem. For example, the screen show W7, but someone has chosen a Windows8 ISO/DVD.

Feb 19, 2015 12:25 PM in response to Loner Tby 19Andi90,I tried to install windows 7 before i get these issue. And it works. But there i had the problem to install Windows on a partition so i bought another version.
And know i had this problem...but not only with that...with the other one that worked before i have the same problem.So i think that the usb is ok.
I tried to open the win7.iso and get an issue-messege....there i had the choice "do not open" or "open". I choose open and now i can open it without these message.
Maybe i had to restore it complete because last time i only install yosemite without any personal data´s?

Feb 19, 2015 1:25 PM in response to 19Andi90by Loner T,If the Bootcamp Assistant also runs into the same issue as you have when manually opening the ISO, it will fail. Can you post a screen shot of the error message when you try to open the ISO. There may be a permission issue with the ISO file.
Is the User logged into the Mac and running BCA also the Administrator of the Mac?
