Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit Installation Error

Hi Everyone!!!

This post is regarding the installation of Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit

I tried installing Windows 7 Pro ( 64 Bit ) On my Mac running the latest version of Mac OS X Yosemite.

I used Bootcamp Assistant and followed all the steps. Creating the .iso file , windows support software and also made a 150GB Partition.

Note that I have the ORIGINAL Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit Software Installation Disc. I did NOT use any counterfeit version of Windows or any other third party software for the installation of Microsoft windows.

I used the Apple USB Superdrive to get the .iso file from the disc and did the installation steps.

Now , Windows.

While installing windows , I found that I had to format the partition that bootcamp had created for windows . That went well.

I installed windows and when my Mac reboots , I get this error saying that Windows was not able to start up. Because " Windows could verify the digital signature of the file " -- \windows\system32\drivers\AppleSSD.sys " error code - 0xc0000428 . I don't know HOW this happens and I have tried installing windows about 4-5 times now and every time , I get that annoying error despite BOOTCAMP downloading the Windows Support Files.

FYI , My Trackpad and Keyboard work Perfectly

When using Bootcamp I got a message that said I had to install windows & support files later . -- Could this be the problem??

If so , then how do I install the "support files" ?

I would really appreciate it if some one could help me out on this.

Thanks a Bunch!!!

My bootcamp assistant won't detect my windows 7 but it works for windows 10. For some reason Bootcamp assistant hasn't worked on any mac I have had and they are all 2012 models. But i think that is because I have a later version of bootcamp and and early mac. But what i did was copied all the files from my windows 10 trial iso to my usb and then downloaded the support software. (Link below) and then you just extract it, drag it to your usb and run the setup once you install windows.

IMPORTANT, DO NOT IGNORE.

At first my trackpad and keyboard drivers didn't work when I installed windows. Because I had the wrong version of bootcamp support suftware .

If you have any of the following macbooks Download 5.1.5640
