Q: Windows installer won't open. Stuck with black screen.
Hello all,
I'm trying to install windows 7 from an iso file using Bootcamp assistant, Version 6.0.1, but unfortunately the windows installer just will not open so i'm stuck with that black screen. I've let my MacBookPro sit around with that black screen for over half an hour and after a while it gets really really hot so I interrupted the "process".
I've reset the NVRAM (command+alt+p+r) which didn't do anything.
I did follow bootcamp instructions. I downloaded the correct drivers for my model of mac book pro, I created a bootable drive and partitioned my disk.
The forum has quite a lot of "black screen issues" but none of their solutions worked out for me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)
