Q: Bootcamp will not recognise x64 Windows 7 ISO or Install Disc

27" iMac late 2012

 

I've tried using both my Windows 7 ISO to create a bootable drive, and also attempted using a disc burnt using disc utility, but I keep encountering the following message with Bootcamp. My Windows 7 install disc is a mixed x32 and x64 (I would obviously choose x64 bit when running windows install later) But is displaying the following image?

 

I used the same windows disc to install the x64 bit version on my 2011 27" with no problems, I've also tried to use another Windows 7 install disc but it's giving the same error...

 

"Boot Camp only supports 64-bit Windows installation on this platform. Please use a ISO file for 64-bit Windows installation."

 

Any ideas how I could fix this?

    When it says "Your bootable USB drive could not be created" try holding the 'option' key then press the 'continue' button. This worked for me!

    UNMOUNT IT. After you download the iso file it automatically mounts. Unmount it in disk utility. Simple!

    Hello,

     

    I see a lot of you guys struggling to get it to work.

    I received the error "Bootcamp will not recognise x64 Windows 7" as well.

    So it frustrated me and started searching on the web for solutions.

    And I had read someone saying "unmounting the image" solved it for them.

    Anyways, straight to the point.

     

    1. Go to Applications/Utilities
    2. Open Disk Utility and keep it open
    3. Open Bootcamp, check the top option and leave the two underneath unchecked
    4. Click continue and then select your Windows 7 ISO file
    5. If it failed again, go to Disk Utility
    6. Check if you can see the Disk Images tab under the External tab
    7. If you can see images that are called DVD eject those
    8. If you can see "Apple write" or something, ejecting these did the trick for me
    9. Select one of the images "Apple write" and go on file and hit eject there
    10. Eject all of them
    11. Go back to Bootcamp
    12. Select your Windows 7 ISO once again and that should do the trick for you as well.

     

    Please keep in mind that I'm using El Capitan.

    Duplicate "Boot Camp Assistant.app" so you have 2 of them: Boot Camp Assistant.app and Boot Camp Assistant copy.app, the copy is perfectly editable, just remember to launch it by clicking the file Boot Camp Assistant copy.app from the application folder in finder, since it will not show up in launchpad.
