Trying to install Windows 7 on my 2011 MacPro using Boot Camp Assistant. Using a download purchase of Windows 7 Pro burned onto a DVD. Installer runs but eventually stops on an incomplete Step 2 (Expanding files I think) with Error Code 0x80070017.
Please help!
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Depends on how and with what you burned the dvd
Disk Utility: slowest reduced burn speed, otherwise it fails one way or another.
Also, remove other drives
You don't need to use the Assistant if you are dedicating one of your drives to Windows.
Thanks for the quick reply. So you're saying:
- Use Disc Utility for the DVD burn (I used Toast and my IT guy used something Dell I suspect) at it's slowest speed?
- Remove the other internal hard drives for the Windows install?
- I'm creating a Windows "BOOTCAMP" partition on my main system drive for this. Can't really spare another internal for this if at all possible.
