Installing Bootcamp on 3 TB hard drive. Disk partition order?
I've had issues installing Windows 7 on my i5 imac from 2011 with Bootcamp.
There is currently a 3TB hard drive installed, and I am trying to get Bootcamp to install Windows 7 from a CD. It will install, but it will never boot Windows afterwards.
I tried restoring the drive's partitions, and repartitioning based on an article I read so that Windows (BOOTCAMP) would be in the 4th partition. However, now when I try that (using disk utility) it puts it as 'disk0s6'.
I get these messages about the current setup:
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *3.0 TB disk0
1: EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 1.0 TB disk0s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3
4: Microsoft Basic Data BOOTCAMP 750.0 GB disk0s6
5: Apple_HFS Mac Data 1.2 TB disk0s5
/dev/disk1
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: CD_ROM *3.7 GB disk1
/dev/disk2

0: Apple_partition_scheme *17.4 MB disk2
1: Apple_partition_map 32.3 KB disk2s1
2: Apple_HFS Flash Player 17.3 MB disk2s2
Can someone help?
Thanks
