Q: boot camp no installation disc found.

Ok so I went into boot camp packages and all that and created a bootcamp install disc using a USB But when I press install windows 7 it says no installation disc found. Which makes no sense because I just took the time to make one. I have the iso image and the support software.

MacBook, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

    Problem solved! Windows installation DVD must be burned with Disk Utility. Using other methods of burning files to a DVD will not produce the desired result. Why this isn't explicitly covered in the instructions is anyone's guess. However, it worked for me. Thanks Loner T for helping to diagnose the problem.

    Did you use a third-party tool to create the USB and install Windows? BCA will only let you use the DVD, because it will use your Model Identifier.

     

    You can try Rufus USB ( https://rufus.akeo.ie/ ) or similar tools to try and build a bootable Windows USB.

    Xcode would allow you to edit Info.plist and modify some settings. Disk Utility will create a FAT partition. This modified version of BCA may not work. You may end up with no boot device or black screen.

     

    Does your optical drive work?
