1. Is the Windows Installer on a USB2 or USB3 device?
2. Can you verify the integrity of the ISO used to create USB installer using MD5Sum/SHA1 and Microsoft FCIV tool or openssl md5 command on OS X?
Thanks for the quick reply! 🙂
The usb drive is a Verbatim Store 'n' Go USB 2.0 16GB.
How do I verify the integrity of the ISO? I would be doing this on my MacBook Pro and not on a PC.
Okay I ran an md5 on the .iso and it spit out this:
0e8f2199fae18fe510c23426e68f675a
what do I do with that?
Can you verify that this MD5 matches the source ISO from the vendor who provided you with the ISO?
I bought the Windows 8 Pro disk from Best Buy, and I used the Disk Utility on the Mac Book Pro to make the ISO, and Boot camp assistant put that ISO on the USB drive. Like it says to do in these directions: Create an ISO image for Boot Camp from a Windows installation DVD - Apple Support
Is there another way that I can check the integrity of the ISO?
I'm going to remake the ISO from the disk using the Disk Utility. Maybe the first time it was a bad copy?
FINALLY!
I made a new ISO file using the Disk Utility. Basically I did all the steps all over again and it finally worked!
I came across another problem though... When it got to the 'Personalize' (the part where you choose your screen colors and choose a name for the PC) the keyboard and trackpad did not work. I searched through the internet and saw somewhere that I should reboot the Windows partition in 'Safemode' by holding down F8 when it boots.
I pressed the power key to turn off the MBP, then I pressed it after twenty or so seconds while holding down the ALT key. Choose the Windows partition and quickly, very quickly held down the F8 key and it booted back into the 'Personalize' screen. But, this time they keyboard and trackpad WORKED!
Thanks Loner T for the help, I appreciate your replies.
Wonderful. Glad to see it working. Please ensure you install BC drivers by running setup.exe in the Bootcamp folder which will allow you Apple hardware to work in Windows. Make a backup of OS X and Windows.
