Boot Camp hanging before Windows install
So, I’m working with a stripped down Mac Pro just to help eliminate as may variables as possible:
- 1TB internal that has been erased and verified + installation of a completely unmodified 10.9.3. (downloaded from Apple via Recovery option)
I boot into this fresh system and launch Boot Camp Assistant.
I check both options on page 2. (Download latest and Install Windows)
Boot Camp Assistant downloads from Apple and places latest Windows support software on my flash drive >Windows installDVD is inserted as requested >Assistantre-boots >hangs with grey screen
>wait 30 min.( just in case) >as before, I never get to the Windows setup phase.
shutdown
>reboot w/ option key >select Windows install DVD >seems to hang immediately >wait 30 min.( just in case) >as before, Inever get to the Windows setup phase.
This is the disk report for the 1TB internal:
What to try next?
Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.3), Mid 2012, 3.33 GHz 6-C24 GB
