I'm running a MacbookPro, and I've been attempting to re-bootcamp it after that last hard drive on it failed. The first time I boot camped it went flawlessly. Now I'm trying it with the same Installation Disc and it won't work. The version is Windows 8.1, I bought the operating system almost a year ago and created the installation disk myself. Can anyone help?
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
If the DVD contains more than one version, the newer BCA versions are much less forgiving. Do you have a 32-bit/64-bit combined DVD?
No, it's just 64-bit.
No, it's just a 64-bit version of Windows.
Is the USB flash disk a USB2 or a USB3 device? You can check by looking at System Report -> USB in About This Mac. If it shows up under Super-speed, it is USB3 otherwise it is a USB2 flash drive.
It says USB 3.0 Hi-Speed Bus.
The USB is a USB2 (High-speed). It should work. As test, in BCA, just click on the second checkbox (Download Software...) and check if you can connect to the Apple Servers.
Bootcamp won't recognize my Windows 8.1 Installation Disk
