Oct 22, 2015 11:38 AM in response to mattiaiMac27by Loner T,1. Since you do not have an MBR, you reinstallation is EFI.
2. EFI installations do not expose hardware properly in some cases, even though your specific Mac Model supports both, which is a bit puzzling.
3. Before we install, we can try another test. From the USB Installer that you created for Windows 7, can you manually run the nVidia Installer?

Oct 22, 2015 2:35 PM in response to mattiaiMac27by Loner T,Do you want to try the drivers for 770M from the nVidia website - http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/92214/en-us ?
The other option is to re-download the BC drivers - Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5640 and test.

- Mac Pro (Late 2013)
- iMac (21.5-inch & 27-inch, Late 2013)
- Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1, 64 bit
If these do not work, I suggest re-installing W7 (without EFI Boot).

Oct 22, 2015 2:42 PM in response to Loner Tby mattiaiMac27,actually i tryed both.. Re-download doesn't work. Instead The graphic driver does (download from NVIDIA website).
but it's seems strange to me that The official BC package has so many problems (brightness doesn't work, mouse scroll doesn't work,...)
with yosemite and BC assistant auto download of driver i had perfect windows installation in The past..

Oct 23, 2015 10:47 AM in response to mattiaiMac27by Loner T,Using BC Assistant. BCA will create the partition and the Hybrid MBR. You will still need the USB for the ATI drivers from the black screen link. Do you have the Windows 7 DVD, or an ISO from which you can create a physical DVD?

Oct 23, 2015 10:51 AM in response to Loner Tby mattiaiMac27,I didn't get you: I installed Win7 from an ISO using BCA (BCA also created the partition). I can't use DVD 'cause I don't have the reader.
What should I change in the installation method?

Oct 23, 2015 10:56 AM in response to mattiaiMac27by Loner T,I was thinking about a 2009 iMac on a different thread. 2013 iMac will support a USB Installer. Use Windows icon from the USB, not EFI boot. We can check if you get any errors and correct them. W7 EFI boot is not good.

Oct 23, 2015 11:47 AM in response to mattiaiMac27by Loner T,If you insert your current USB installer created by BCA and connect it directly to iMac and startup your Mac and hold Alt/Option, what are the entries you see which are from the USB?
