Q: [urgent]get "appleSSD.sys" error when installing windows 7 through bootcamp

Ok peoples, another update.

@Ahtsan- yes, I too am unable to boot using any of the boot options. I tried safe, safe with networking, safe with dos prompt and so on. I also tried to boot with the error logging to see if i could capture something but all have the same result - the lovely black screen as per your original post.

I was wondering if i could get an older copy of the APPLESSD.SYS and pop it onto my USB stick in the folder where the 'broken' copy resides, that it would then be installed as part of the process. There is no way to add the file later using safe mode as Lone T suggests as you simply can't even get that far to do that.

So....I have tried the option to disable the file signature checking, again as per Lone T's suggestion but I get the BSOD!  It was flicking up so quickly, I had to resort to videoing the boot up after selecting the option. I have taken a pic of the frame with the BSOD error, shown below. As you can see, its that pesky APPLESSD.SYS file again

Any ideas people?  I may go back to Apple and ask them about dropping support for Windows 7 under Bootcamp

Is anyone on this thread using Windows 32-bit?

64bit for me too

Can you look in Bootcamp.xml and find this section and post a similar section?

Hi Loner T, hopefully i've got the right part of the file for you. It does reference the AppleSSD.sys file

It all boils down to this one file not being digitally signed by Apple. So windows freaks out. I too called Apple and they blamed Microsoft. But yes, I am also having this same problem.

Its a widespread problem.. Apple has to step in. They probably will in a week or so.. Everybody with the issue has been trying windows 7, correct?

I'm about to try the new drivers with 8, I'll let you know how it goes

I'm going to try this: "I found the answer through searching other sites, it's probably here somewhere as well.  Reboot the computer.  Press 'F8' during restart.  Select Disable Driver Signature Enforcement from the boot menu.  This fixed the driver issue in my case." http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/windows-cann ot-verify-the-digital-signature-for/1394eda4-2485-47a0-880f-95015995ac2d?auth=1

Hmmm, let me try this right now. I'l let you know shortly. Thanks for the info

I'm also 64-bit. Did 32-bit boot correctly?

I tried restarting from the attempted windows install but since the install isn't complete it doesn't help. Then I tried repair & restart but it couldn't read my usb install disk
