First i found problem about appleSSD.sys someone said use oldbootcamp 5.1.5640 (i use macbookpro 2014 mid) to fix it

1.Using Boot Camp Assistant, prepare the USB flash drive. Select the first two items and prepare the disk. Quit Boot Camp Assistant.

2.From the Finder, delete the $WinPE$ and Boot Camp folders from the FLASH DRIVE.

3.Expand the old Boot Camp drivers (they are a zip file) on your desktop.4.Copy the $WinPE$ and Boot Camp folders to the FLASH DRIVE.
5.Reopen Boot Camp Assistant and select only the third option, install Windows 7.
6.Sit back and relax as the installation proceeds.

Missing drivers for CD/DVD typically indicate a corrupted Windows ISO which has block errors. Can you verify the MD5sum/SHA1 or the downloaded ISO and match it to the appropriate value as noted below?

openssl md5 Win10_1511_English_x64.iso

MD5(Win10_1511_English_x64.iso)= a0d4271b7537732a060909fd39d54829

openssl md5 Win10_English_x64.iso

MD5(Win10_English_x64.iso)= 23e397a21a9e01f141c64b7e1260314a

For a Macbook Air, please see No drivers were found .

For W7, there is more work required using the drivers available at Install Windows 7 and earlier on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support.

1. To install remaining drivers, please run setup.exe from the Bootcamp folder. Do not use the main setup.exe, which is the Windows Installer.

2. Your earphone jack is combined analog and digital port. The red laser indicates that the port is expecting to use digital output. If you install the correct Auduo drivers, it should reset itself.

Hi,

I'm having the same issue as OP: that is, I'm trying to install Windows 7 using BootCamp (Mid 2014 MBP 15' Retina), and when it attempts to install Windows, it says that it's missing the CD/DVD drive device driver (which, as we know, the 2014 spec MBP ship without).

Any ideas on how to fix the issue? I have noticed LonerT mentioning removal of the AppleSSD64 folder, but am uncertain if that relates to this case as well (let alone where it is). I'm thinking of just doing W8 instead, given the hassle that it's causing.

EDIT: Followed the linked post you made - my resulting value follows:

MD5(en_windows_7_professional_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_676939.iso)= 9fae8ddeff29bcab4f50673b9fc7570f

Unsure if that is good news or bad news?

I had actually grabbed those additional drivers (the Win 7 ones to replace before partitioning the drive), and had the same result. The only difference was I tried to add the ISO file on the same USB, as another community post (2012/2013, I think it was?) tried that and said it worked; but yeah, if the ISO isn't right, then that wouldn't make much difference

Can you post a Finder listing of the files on the USB? Please show only the first level. You only need to remove AppleSSD64 folder.
