Unable to install Windows 7 on Macbook Pro (mid2014)
I have been trying unsuccessfully to install Windows 7 using Bootcamp on a Macbook Pro 15" Retina display (mid 2014)
I have made a usb stick with Windows 7 and drivers using bootcamp, and was able to partition a 50gb windows drive on the 500gb SSD drive in the Macbook.
Windows Setup seems to boot normally, and I get to the part where I am supposed to select and format the Bootcamp partition. I select format, but when I select Next after I format the Bootcamp partition, Windows Setup tells me it was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. I can't go any further. I also noticed that the partition Name BOOTCAMP disappeared when I formatted the boot camp partition (partition 4). I just run the bootcamp assistant and delete the windows partition, but I would like to install a Windows version. Perhaps Windows 7 is not compatible with this macbook and I need to install Windows 8.1
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
