installing windows 7 on Macbook Pro 2009
Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro 17" (mid-2009) and I recently swapped my HDD with a SSD. I used to have Windows Vista installed on my HDD, first installed without problems in 2009.
After changing the hard drive, I've updated my OSX to El Capitan and when I tried to start the intallation of Bootcamp as previously done, I get a message saying that no bootable devices can be found. I have tried with two different versions of Windows 7, Windows 8 as well as the same version of Windows Vista previously installed on the HDD but I get the same message.
I can see why if I had it installed before it doesn't work now. I thought that perhaps it could depend of the OSX being too advance for my laptop? Of it's the SSD that is not compatible with older versions of Windows? Or could it be that the latest version of Bootcamp cannot deal with old windows on old macs?
I have tried all sorts of methods suggested by several forums without success and I don't know what else to do.
I would be very grateful if somebody could help me solving this issue.
Many thanks.
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4), MacBook Pro 17" (mid-2009) 8GB
