Hi,
Im running into this issue that I can't fix no matter what I do.
I run bootcamp assistant to attempt to install windows 7 (even though I tried with win xp and another win 7 dvd with the same result) when I click "Start Installation" and my computer reboots it goes straight to a black screen with a blinking cursor at the top left and then nothing. I've left it for hours and nothing happens.
I searched for people who had a similar issue and tried what they've suggested. I've tried fixing the drive in disk utility, removing the windows partiton and creating it again, reseting the smc, reseting the pram and still I get the black screen.

Im am using an external optical drive.

I hope somebody can help me.
Thanks,
Atanas
