I am trying to install Windows 7 onto my new MacBook Air 11.6. I got the program file from the MSDN site and it is in an .iso format. How would I go about burning this onto a USB flash drive so I can install it? Can I burn it to DVD and use disc sharing with my MBP to install too?

Thanks!
 
Several days ago, after reading about both those methods and promptly tuning out and forgetting about the answers, I made life easy on myself and got an external drive (the :apple: SuperDrive in my case).

If you go that route get a USB extension as it will make things much simpler lol.

Besides you have 14 days to return the :apple:SD
 
Nevermind...Ok so I used Boot Camp Assistant and it was able to mount my Windows 7 iso file onto a USB flash drive I have. Everything goes smoothly and then restarts to starting Windows. Then I click Install Now and this message pops up: "No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK."

Didn't Boot Camp Assistant create everything I needed?? What do I do from here? I get two options show up: Rescan or Browse for the drivers. There is BOOTCAMP C: and Boot X:, I tried both but still nothing!

What do I do??
 
A final post regarding this. After reading this thread in the Apple Discussion communities, I ordered a new USB drive to try the install from. It came in the mail today and I ran the install off of a Kingston drive and I am happy to say it installed flawlessly!

So to those with this problem, consider a new USB flash drive and it will solve your Windows install problem.
