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)
Your Mac is one of those that is not supported by 64-bit Windows.

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.

Does this mean that I cannot install Windows 7 with Boot Camp on my iMac?
it means you have a hurdle to install 64-bit versions.
Some work around the hurdles. Some use a VM. 32-bit should be fine.
if you just have a PC left, use this, it wonderfully works!

Just change the file path on the cmd string up to where you put your files and create new directory.
This really worked simonlebo tested on MacBook Core 2 Duo, installing Windows 8 Pro 64 Bits
