    yes I did that way and it suppose to show my USB disk where I have saved windows support software so I can go in and open setup.exe to install window drivers . This is the procedure explained on apple bootcamp support forum.

    Switch back to OS X, connect the USB on which you have the BC drivers, and post the output of the following OS X Terminal command.

     

    diskutil list

     

    I assume the USB is readable in OS X, but not in Windows when you switch to Windows.

    You may not have BC drivers installed. Does the USB drive show up on the Windows side? If yes, run setup.exe from Bootcamp folder and check Windows Control Panel.

    This is your USB and matches

    /dev/disk2

       #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER

    Can you check Disk Management and check disk list? Is this a USB3 flash drive?

    The USB seems fine. If you switch to Windows and connect this USB drive, do you see it in Windows or Windows Disk Management?

    Did you read this question? A USB3 device cannot be read by a standard/new Windows installation on a Mac, unless BC drivers are also installed? What is the year/model of your Mac?

     

    If you have a USB2 flash drive, re-download BC drivers to a USB2 flash drive and check on the Windows side if it shows up properly?

    OP, since you have Paragon NTFS you should be able to write to your Windows volume from OS X, yes?

     

    Just copy the contents of the BC Driver USB over to the Windows volume and voila!

    USB2 = USB High-speed Bus

    USB3 = USB Super-speed Bus

     

    Your Cruzer edge is a USB2 device. You can use Paragon to gain read-write access to the NTFS side, as suggested by                                    romanfromboulder and copy the contents to a folder under your Windows Documents then disable it after the copy.  Reboot into Windows, and then run setup.exe from the Bootcamp folder from your copied location.

     

    It is strange that W7 native USB drivers were not installed, despite the installation being done using a USB Installer on a 2013 Mac? Did you get any errors during W7 installation?

    yes !!! Enabled paragon from OSX and mount windows and reset the full permissions then copied  BootCamp5.1.5640 and booted into windows ... run the setup.exe and its working fine now all drivers loaded and can see BootCamp icon at bottom-right pane. Also its detected usb flash drive as well. Everything seems to be fine now.

     

    Just for future reference :

    Apple support table says BootCamp5.1.5621 is for (Macbook pro retina - Late 2013) version.

    guys its not true since I copied both BC5.1.5621 and BC5.1.5640 and try to run setup.exe only 5.1.5640 is working !!!

     

    so BootCamp5.1.5640 is the right bootcamp for installation to Macbook 13inch-retina-Late-2013 version

     

    @loner thanks Appreciated your time and effort.

    yes true its strange cause did not receive any error in fact try to locate drivers manually but didnt show up in folder...

    it should be loaded natively as its windows 7 ...

     

    you know it happened now I figure out that .. its because Apple support did not put right information which boot camp to select

     

    see comment,  I already clarified in Above section .
