Maverick Boot Camp - Partition and USB installation of Windows 7

@pokjat: I had to run twice the codesign command. After that, everything worked as expected.

Well firstly make sure that your windows .iso file is not corrupt/incomplete/not bootable etc. (try to boot the usb in windows pc if available)
Secondly, No bootable device problem comes when the usbdrive is not properly formatted or if the files are not properly copied while making it bootable. Use disk Utility to format it to FAT. And try to make it bootable now using the Bootcamp Assistant. And then try again. If still the problem comes, Use Bootcamp assistant to remove the windows bootcamp partition and restart it. And then repeat the process for partition and installion using Bootcamp Assistant.
Make sure you do not remove the usb drive in between the process.

If you followed my instruction carefully then you had made the backup of info.plist. Replace the updated file with the default/original file again. And try again, It may be possible that you need to run xcode command 2 to 3 times.

Can someone please write me the original INFO.PLIST of the Disk Utility (Mavericks)? please 😟

Why do you need the Info.plist of Disk Utility?? 😕 Info.plist of BOOTCAMP ASSISTANT was to be edited for making bootable USB of windows.

I am not sure if this is same for every macbook model or any technical details regarding the disk utility.

Any way This is the original Info.plist content of Disk utility :

Hi, thank you so much for the quick reply! now i'll try to explain! Yesterday I was modifieng my BOOTCAMPS plist but i accidentaly opened the Disk Utility folder and i've deleted the original pilst 😟 so now i can't even use the DISK REPAIR option!

Thanks ! Its really help for me!

Thanks mate! I didn't know you had to codesign it for the modified plist! this worked like a charm!

Have you been able to fix this? Ive got the same problem....

I didn't find solution, so i went to apple store, and asked them to install windows for me cause i dont have money to change my super drive, and they did replace with other optical drive, then they installed windows for me, then removed optical drive and put mine again, thats only which fixed my problem after i gave up searching for a fix and no luck

Hi everybody, this solution has worked properly in my iMac 12,1 with Maverick.

As said in the recommendation, insert the two lines with the information absent and erase PRE.

In console type the command SUDO.....in my case, i had to download an install a needed Xcode.

Retype the command SUDO an resign the package Assistant boot camp...and....that is the option install W7 from usb.

Thank you very much for your help.

YOU ARE JISUS

I LOVE YOU, WITH YOUR HELP NOW I CAN INSTALL MY GAMES ON WINDOWS!

i have exactly the same problem with the same version and i dont know how to do it, can anyone exlain it to me for "dummies"????

This totally worked for me! THANK YOU!

Only caveat is I couldn't load the Bootcamp 5 drivers; had to use Bootcamp 4. Everything's working just fine now.

Thank you so much!

Thanks. It works flawlessly. I'm installing Windows 8.1 as I speak. whooo!!
