My MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011), since start 3 days ago i keep trying to install Windows7 with original apps Boot Camp Assistant on El Capitan, it start without any problem. Once the installtion after create partition and restart to start install Windows7 from booting my DVD Drive. I using original Windows7's DVD, but is just can't start load windows's file and start install. It just left a blank black screen and a underscore symbol on top left of my screen. I keep trying and trying many ways to install dual boot on my Macbook Pro, i try many solution before like those using USB Bootable, third-party apps like VmWare Fusion, all i get is fail result. 2 Months ago i still can get boot into Windows7, after that i didn't turn on my machine for 1weeks, now it just show me a underscore symbol on top left of my screen. Can any one help and tell me is that my hardware failure or my software problem. I really need Dual boot on this machine for some work.

Ps: Please forgive my poor english.

I try it before, the problem still there, the problem it can read my boot option, it just can't start read my windows7 installation dvd files and install. I using my original Windows7 disk and i try using for other non-apple product, it all work fine. I try reinstall OS X with online too, make it clean and try install Windows, but it just can't.

I try it once before, i download Windows7 X64 from official site and use PowerISO Burned with slowest rate, the result were same too. I wonder is that are my touchpad malfunction that make my keyboard failure so it make the Windows7 installation fail to load the files? My internal keyboard still can use when i press Alt key to choose boot option, but when i load my Mac OS my keyboard can even press a button only left me a led light. I didn't plug any usb when i start the installation, because the Alt key still function at boot option page.

Hey LonerT, i already tried the way that you give me, now i get the result were same, Boot Camp Assistant done after restart and boot into my DVD-drive, the thing go same as i said, a black screen and a underscore symbol on left top and it just keep blinking. It just dun load the Windows 7 installation file and continue the installation process.
