A:

Use BC Assistant, and download BC Drivers for Windows 7 from Install Windows 7 and earlier on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support a USB2 Flash drive, switch to Windows, run setup.exe from the Bootcamp folder on the USB.

 

Partitioning of a BC drive which has Windows installed can cause Windows to stop booting.

    diskutil list

    /dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
