I to have OSX 10.9.4 and I have done all of the above. But after bootcamp burns the ISO files to my usb, the option to install windows is still grayed and i can't click on it to continue.

this is the issue I'm having..

can you help me with this ?

i got an error msg saying that :- windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk has a MBR partition table. in EFI systems, windows can only be installed to GPT disks.

how do i convert GPT disk to MBR ?

Thank you the instructions worked for my macBoook Pro

If u are unable to save the edited plist file then you need to change the permission to read/write by right-click getinfo

1. go to Applications>Utilities> right click on boot camp and click Show Package Conents, you’ll find a folder inside called Contents ( Inside that folder exists a file called info.plist.

2. Right click on the folder containing the file > get info > change permissions so any user can read & write. Do the same for the file itself (right click > get info…).

follow the steps from original post

save changes and close

It worked..

thank u

I had this working for 10.9 but when I upgraded to 10.10 I can't seem to get this working. I tried to look through to see if anybody had this working for 10.10 but can really seem to find it anywhere. Boot camp just keeps crashing and trying to figure out if this is just a 10.10 problem

Thanks but I'm on 10.10 trying to get 7 on my mac, no PC/windows

If BC keeps crashing, you have forgotten to code-sign the application and you need to use --deep qualifier (see details under man codesign)

hey i just figured out at least to get the usb function. the problem i had was the initial instructions changing the .plist file its very vague on how to do it but what i did was where is has

<key>DARequiredROMVersions</key>

  <array>

i added mine from about my mac <string>MBP81.0047.B04</string> looks like that then under the pre usb

<key>USBBootSupportedModels</key>

  <array>

i got rid of the pre and under array i added <string>MacBookPro8,1</string> make sure it looks the same as the rest with the coma etc don't  do it like this <string>MBP81</string> this wouldn't work for me once its done save it then insert it into the contents folder authenticate it etc go into terminal and make sure you type sudo codesign -fs - /Applications/Utilities/Boot\ Camp\ Assistant.app and type your password this should allow the code change this is what i did just to get the box i will find out if i can even use the usb function or not.

obviously make sure you get your boot info from the about this mac etc and insert it where i had mine

I thought I did everything exactly like that the first time. I guess not lol I just started over and redid it and it worked thanks!
