Windows 7 professional 64 Bit on MacBook Pro Retina 15 with Boot Camp ?

Hallo guys, i have a big problem with installing Windows 7 professional 64 Bit on my MacBook Pro Retina 15 with Boot Camp. No matter what i try i get a black screen after partitioning or get a message like " No bootable disk" or " No System Disk availabe".

My Mac has : OS X version 10.8.2, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB memory, 2.6 GHz Intel i7 and is only a week old

My Boot Camp is version 5.0.1

My Windows InstallingDVD is one year old now, i needed it to build a PC last year, hope that doesnt make a difference, its a full version, so not just for upgrading.

From what i saw in the apple support it should work on my macbook. I hope someone can help me.

Thanks in advance.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), Boot camp version 5.0.1

Ok, problem solved. I looked a bit more here in the questions and there was the answer and its quite simple.

Somehow an USB-stick makes problems while Windows wants to install, i dont know why. So i just made everything over DVDs and now everything works fine.
