Can't do bootcamp on Macbook Pro 2006
Hi there,
Sorry for my english.
I have a quite old Macbook Pro Late 2006 which has a Mac OS X Lion installed on this machine.
Today, I want to have a Windows on my Macbook so, I use bootcamp to make an installation.
But everything doesn't go as I was expected.
I use Bootcamp Assistant to install Windows just like how I do on the other macbook.
I put my Windows 7 Ultimate installation disc to my superdrive.
What is happen is the drive eject out the disc.
So, I can't continue my process and I thought that I have a broken optical drive. so, I tried to use USB method.
But I found out that it is unsupported and will work only with macs that without a optical drive.
But I quite freak out that, if I put Windows XP (CD) or Windows 10 (DVD) disc, it is reading! and appears on Finder.
The bootcamp doesn't work if I use Windows XP or Windows 10 and I know that my optical drive isn't broken.
I googled and I found "rEFIt" and "rEFInd".
I hope that one of two here will help me.
BUT IT DOESN'T AT ALL !!!!
I've both rEFIt and rEFInd, it still doesn't boot to Windows Installation screen.
I got a message that said "
The firmware refused to boot from the selected volume. Note that external hard drives are not well-supported by Apple´s firmware for legacy OS booting
" if I use USB.I tried to use disc method again but now, it ejects all of Windows Installation disc even Windows 10.
But I haven't try with Windows XP.
So, I'm completely blinded. Please Help Me. I don't want to stuck in Lion which is most new software doesn't work.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
