So I have a MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, and run on 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). I partitionned my hard drive with BootCamp (3.0.4) and installed Windows 7 32 bits (with service pack 1) on it. Everything is fine up to this point. Though when I install my apple support softwares and drivers (from my install DVD) it works and at 1 point it gives me the BSOD and I get about the following message :
"Disable BIOS shadowing and Caching".
I've tried to run Win 7 in safe mode and modify/delete some .sys files
like shown on this thread :

Yet, I can't get it to work and I've ran out of solution. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot! I'm trying this right away!

Last Quick Question;
Should I uninstall BootCamp 3.0 on my Mac Partition before installing 4.0 on my Windows Partition?
 
So when I unzip BootCamp 4.0, I get the same BSOD with the notification to disable BIOS shadowing and caching... I'm going to try the safe mode strategy and modify/delete AppleMTN AppleHTS...
Though, if you have any other suggestions, I would appreciate. Thanks again
 
I haven't figure it out entirely yet but it seems it has something to do with my windows 7 version. I downloaded (legitimate version) the service pack 1 and debug... I'll repost when I solve my problem entirely
 
Problem Solved. Compatibility problems with the Windows 7 Debug/Checked Build. Downloaded Windows 7 Professional 32 bits. Everything works fine. Thanks for help.
 
You'll be better off with the normal version anyway. The Debug/Checked version will be slower as it's running in debug mode. Only useful if you're doing low level development for things such as drivers.
