Q: windows 19 in boot camp with el capitan
I've been trying to install windows 10 using boot camp and not having any luck in succeeding. I got the partition made in boot camp, got a windows 10 iso loaded onto a flash stick,got windows to install and accept the key. When it asks to load the drivers it comes back and say there are no drivers found. I have browsed everything including the windows dvd in the external drive.Where do I find the drivers so I can move on and finish this installation?
Thank You,
Peter

I've tried a number of different ways and run into a roadblock somewhere along the way with each method. When I tried to make an ISO of my windows dvd, there is no "make new image" icon in disk utilities.
Under Disk Utility -> File -> New Image (the linked article shows the Yosemite and older DU screens). This UI changed in El Capitan.
I've tried following the Boot Camp instructions right on my machine but a lot of the screen shots shown are not like what come up at that step. When it tells me to click on something it's not available (greyed out) or not there.
How do I go about step #4 using OSXRESERVED. I don't see any instructions leading to that method.
The screens look different between BC 5 and BC6 (El Capitan) but the functions are equivalent. On your specific Mac, OSXRESERVED is rebuilt/overwritten when you try to install Windows. If the Installer does not start, run the SMC/NVRAM reset after disconnecting all external storage and retry BCA.

Thank You for all you suggestions and help. I've been at this for some time now and feel it shouldn't be this hard. I've built a few computers in the past and usually manage my way around pretty good but this one has me stumped. I also have a Mac Book Pro that I have installed Windows 7 on using Fusion with no problem at all but the version of Fusion will not work on this machine.
Fusion is a very different animal compared to BCA.
