No trackpad or keyboard on Windows installer

Hi, yet another problem again with bootcamp.


When I boot the installer from my memory stick I get to the language selection and my trackpad an also keyboard are unresponsive. I've tried many different suggestions such as going through them all one by one, making a new administator account and also ticking the first 2 option then the 2nd and finally the third while quitting between the steps.


Any help will be greatly appreciated thanks.

BCA partitioning does not create Free Space. It creates a FAT partition, which the Windows Installer formats. You either have a bad MBR or used DU to create/manipulate the partition. The Installer will ask about creating partitions only if the EFI boot is used (because it needs an MSR/MSD configuration, not a FAT32 partition).


Please see https://help.apple.com/bootcamp/mac/5.0/help/ for further details of the various steps involved.
