[urgent]get "appleSSD.sys" error when installing windows 7 through bootcamp

Ok here's a little update. As I have AppleCare I have been in touch with them regarding the issue and guess what? They have told me this is a Windows problem and they cannot help me. I told Apple that the error occurs whilst still going through the Bootcamp process; it's only installed a partial windows OS and does the reboot to finish things off. **** (Seriously?? It's starred out the word H e l l ?? LOL) I haven't even given it my Windows 7 serial number yet, but no, its not an Apple problem.

I was given a link to Microsoft support and that was that. Thanks Apple.

I am now sitting here with a 30 minute wait time because MS is busy - probably with all the Windows 10 queries. I am seriously fed up with this whole situation now.

I'm just now having the very same problem on a 2012 Mac Mini. I had the Boot Camp on a second hard drive but was having problems with the drive so I swapped it out with a new 1 TB SSD. When I went to install Windows, this exact same message appears. I'm talking about an install that worked on one drive yesterday and does not work today. Don't hardly see how this could possibly be a Windows problem.

From what it seems. This is a problem related to a recent update to MacOS or the BootCamp software itself. Otherwise how can you explain that so many people just started having this out of the blue. If you search on Google there's no reference to this problem anywhere other than this thread. So this must be something that just started happening.. It must be an update gone wrong or something of that sort. This is an apple file missing, I doubt Microsoft Windows will have a file called AppleSSD.sys among their very own files. This is a BootCamp installation file. I wish some sort of engineer could take a look at this.

Digital driver signature enforcement can be disabled. This driver in 5.1.5766 BC Drivers package is correctly signed.

Option 1 is to get the 5.1.x driver and replace it using Windows Safe Mode.

Option 2 is to use this method.

well, i see other post e he uninstall windows 10 and install windows 7 e get the same error... i think apple update the drivers and they not support more windows 7. they discontinued the support for windows 7. i have the same problem here and is not windows problem. https://macmagazine.com.br/2015/03/20/apple-comeca-a-abandonar-suporte-ao-window s-7-via-boot-camp/

Apple said nothing about the error, other than once the MAC reboots into windows and the error appears, its a windows problem. If the error was happening whilst booting under OSX then they could help

UPDATE: I have just come from having a chat with MS tech support and they have told me...."It's an Apple problem; you have to go back to them and get them to change Bootcamp to work properly..." I did try to explain when the problem actually happens and the tech guy said "MAC install files are in a different format; DMG etc so MAC's cannot run .EXEs so cannot do the install.." It was at that point I asked to speak with someone that knew about bootcamp and I explained that MS actually have their own support page with instructions on how to install windows using Bootcamp. Basically it was a long conversation going nowhere fast...

I am about to try the digital sig thing....however I may try finding the older version of the file as I can replace it on the bootable USB before I do the install. I found it in one of the installer directories. It's worth a go

Oh that's great! Just when I have found out about Bootcamp and want to use an old Windows 7 license, which I will then upgrade to Windows 10. I just need to have it last long enough to upgrade it! Give us one more day Apple, please!!

@Loner-T - if I can find a copy of the applessd.sys file, can I just copy it to the USB i have just created and then it will be installed as part of the windows install process without having to bother going into safe mode etc? Besides, I think I already tried to boot into safe mode, but it can't even do that. It fails completely to load

I have tried 4 times today with different images, always same result.

Hopefully a solution will come up! I would like to run windows 10, but needs my windows 7 first.

Apple release windows 10 drivers for bootcamp yesterday I believe, might be that's the issue?

Can you look in Bootcamp.xml and find this section and post a similar section?

I'm going to try this: "I found the answer through searching other sites, it's probably here somewhere as well. Reboot the computer. Press 'F8' during restart. Select Disable Driver Signature Enforcement from the boot menu. This fixed the driver issue in my case." http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/windows-cann ot-verify-the-digital-signature-for/1394eda4-2485-47a0-880f-95015995ac2d?auth=1

Yeah, this didn't help. After selecting that option, it starts to boot into windows, then I get a flash of the classic blue screen of death and then it takes me right back to the same screen informing me that the AppleSSD.sys file could not be verified. Blaaaah.

I think I'll try windows 8 and see what happens.
