Q: Your bootable USB drive could not be created

"Your bootable USB drive could not be created"

 

Hey guys,

 

I searched what to do about this error message and all I got was make sure that the ISO is unmounted. I did this, and yet I am still getting the exact same error message. I am trying to get Windows 7 Home Premium on a 2012 13 inch Mac Book Pro. I am also using a 16 GB flash drive for the ISO image. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

A:

1. Did you run the following step in the link I posted earlier?

Open the resulting folder. Locate the following files in this folder and drag them to your USB Flash drive. When prompted if you want to replace the existing items on the flash drive, click Yes.

 

$WinPEDriver$ (folder)
AutoUnattend.xml
BootCamp (folder)

 

2. On your USB flash drive, there is file called Bootcamp.xml. Can you open it in TextEdit application and post the lines which look similar to the following?

 

<ProductManufacturer>Apple Inc.</ProductManufacturer>

<ProductVersion>5.1.5769</ProductVersion>

<ProductCode>{FA2B2C2A-EA41-495A-9308-60726125D562}</ProductCode>
