Q: Fail to install Windows7

Can you post the output of the following OS X Terminal commands?
diskutil list
diskutil cs list
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
The "sudo" commands will ask you for your password.

I using my original Windows7 disk and i try using for other non-apple product, it all work fine. I try reinstall OS X with online too, make it clean and try install Windows, but it just can't.

Sep 13, 2016 6:42 AMby KevwinLum,I try it once before, i download Windows7 X64 from official site and use PowerISO Burned with slowest rate, the result were same too. I wonder is that are my touchpad malfunction that make my keyboard failure so it make the Windows7 installation fail to load the files? My internal keyboard still can use when i press Alt key to choose boot option, but when i load my Mac OS my keyboard can even press a button only left me a led light. I didn't plug any usb when i start the installation, because the Alt key still function at boot option page.

It just dun load the Windows 7 installation file and continue the installation process.
