Q: Boot Camp Control Panel Windows 7 64Bit

I have Mid-2012 Macbook Pro with a SSD drive installed. I installed a fresh windows 7 64bit pro and now I get this error when trying to open the bootcamp control panel.

 

"an error occurred while trying to access the startup disk settings"

I want to be able to right click Restart in Mac OS X but this doesn't work. It boots to a white screen and then it goes to windows again.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), 2007 Macbook Pro

    A clean install of BC always seems to work correctly on the 2012 MBP. I tested it on a 2011 Mac mini which does manifest the same problem, but only intermittently. This Mini has some additional quirks, it has a DIY Fusion drive, with Bootcamp on the SSD and the BC was restored using Winclone 4.4. It does not match your setup. I cannot get AHCI to work properly on this machine either. One observation is that this manifests itself more often on my Mini if tried right after Windows has just come up. The longer Windows has been up, the less likely that it will occur.

     

    Do you still have your internal disk before you installed the SSD, that can be reused for testing? Have you enabled TRIM using kernel hacks on your SSD?
