Hey guys,
I've got a Mid 2009 MBP 15" (2.8 Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb RAM) running Mavericks. I'm trying to install Windows 7 off of an .ISO file, but it seems like I run into a problem with each step I take.
When I use Boot Camp Assistant, it says "The installer disc could not be found. Insert your Windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for the disc to be recognized." So, I downloaded the Driver Package 4.0 straight from the Apple site (I think this is the right package for my machine?), but I get the same message.
In Boot Camp Assistant, if I deselect "Download the latest Windows support software from Apple" and keep "Install Windows 7" selected, it says "The Installer Disc Could Not Be Found. Insert your Windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for the disc to be recognized." Or, the other thing it says is: "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
Unfortunately, I don't have a disc, just the ISO file. I tried to burn it to DVD, but that also gave me an error of some sort.
The ISO file is currently on a USB drive (formatted as FAT), the internal HDD, as well as an additional external hard drive. As my "destination disc", I've tried both drives (though strangely after installing Mavericks, it doesn't let me try the external drive anymore because it is not FAT).
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
