Q: Install Failed: OS X could not be installed on your computer.

So my Macbook was bought last December 2012. It's specs should be able to run Mavericks.

 

I've downloaded the software already, so far so good.

 

When installation starts, it fails and I get this message:

 

  • "Install Failed: OS X could not be installed on your computer. OS X can't be installed on the disk because a recovery system can't be created. Visit www.apple.com/support/no-recovery to learn more"

 

Now it tells me to go to this page:

 

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4649

 

Then I find the message above and tells me to go here:

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3926

 

Then I try the solution in the 2nd link and still the installation fails.

 

Please note that I have a Windows 7 BootCamp Partition that I would as much as possible not delete or reformat as I have too many important stuff there.

 

Any ideas?

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), Windows 7, Mac OS X Mountain Lion
