Firmware help needed.

Hmm...interesting. I found Boot Camp installed for me easily. Did it install easily on your other computers?

 

First, try the Windows on Mac sub-forum; you're more likely to run into someone who's solved the same problem.

Second, I'd make sure you have the correct firmware update as several people have successfully installed BC on the MBP.

Failing that, a PMU reset may be in order.

 

Is there something called Firmware Update in your Utilities folder? If so, delete it and try installing it from scratch again.

 

I had the same issue and found out that I only dd the SMC update. Here's the link to the update that's required for bootcamp:

I forgot to warn you - My MBP is no longer silent after the update. (CPU whine) I'm considering reverting back to the original to see what happens.

 

Had the same issue on my iMac. Deleting the updater from my Utilities folder and installing the latest update (1.01 I think?) did the trick. Frustrating I know. Bought the thing for the sole purpose of dual booting, and I thought it wouldn't for a while until I figured it out.
