Hi Loner T,

sorry to contacted you this way but i posted my problem but no one answerin me.

I have partitioned the disk using bootcamp however as i didn't have the product key at home. So i had to cancel installation to reinstall later.

So i have the product key now. Partition is ready to be installed. So what to do now? Can you help me with this?

thanks in advance.

Can you try to use Windows instead of EFI Boot?

Some USBs have boot ability issues. if you tested using DVD, what brand/model is the Optical drive? If you power up the Mac and hold Alt/Option, does the DVD show up as a selection?

If you select EFI Boot from the DVD, do you get a black screen?
