I am trying to install Windows 7 home premium with Boot Camp 4.0.3.


After the disc partition and just when the Windows 7 installation should start, I end up with a screen that says:


"

1.


2.

Select CD-ROM Boot Type

"


I am not able to do anything, nothing happens when I press any key on the keyboard. The only way out from this screen is to restart computer with OS X again :-(


What is wrong? How to get through?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

The Boot Camp Assistant can burn Boot Camp software (drivers) to a DVD or copy it to a USB storage device, such as a flash drive or hard drive. These are the only media you can use to install Boot Camp software.
