Apr 6, 2015 6:20 AM in response to Marco Mazzoniby Loner T,I assume BCA 5.1.3. Is your USB a USB2 device? Disconnect all external storage before you start Windows installation (except the BC USB).

Apr 6, 2015 9:03 AM in response to Loner Tby Marco Mazzoni,Yes, BCA 5.1.2 actually. Not sure where I got the version number listed above.
All USB peripherals disconnected except for the memory stick w/the Windows ISO etc on it.
** Found out the "EyeFi Helper" had installed its software on the USB stick after it was formatted. This is a bug in the EyeFi helper software that I have reported but still has not been fixed.
Disabled the EyeFi software, started all over again.
BCA formatted partition with FAT, but I was able to re-format in the Windows installer to complete Windows installation. Got Windows booted and then ran Windows Update for Service Pack 1 etc. and selected reboot and....
Back to the blank, grey screen on rebooting into Windows. No Apple Icon, no Windows icon, no activity.

Apr 6, 2015 9:59 AM in response to Marco Mazzoniby Loner T,The SP1 may be installing standard GPU drivers, which may not work in a BC Mac. Can you boot Windows in Safe Mode?

Apr 7, 2015 6:16 PM in response to Loner Tby Marco Mazzoni,Nope it is worse than that. The MacBook won't even start the boot process. When I reboot and click 'option' to show OS boot options, as soon as I click "Windows" on the Boot Camp volume, it locks up. Arrrggghhh. Of course Disk Utility won't fix/deal with an NTFS drive. Will boot from the Win7 install disc and see if that has a disk util.

Apr 7, 2015 7:03 PM in response to Marco Mazzoniby Loner T,Option 1 is to use OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support and use Internet Recovery.
Option 2 is to use OS X: Installing OS X on an external volume - Apple Support and booting from it.
Option 2 will allow you to install tools like GPT Fdisk which can be used to repair partitions. It is very similar to gpt command.

Aug 2, 2015 12:07 PM in response to Marco Mazzoniby ChaotiX66,How did it go?
I want to install Boot Camp on my 1TB Samsung EVO 850 (not Pro) that I just put in my MBP Early 2011 but I'd like to hear what other people's experiences are first.
