Hi there i've been trying for the past 3 days to install Windows 7 home premium 64bit via boot camp as an ISO due to no superdrive. Reason for this is Cryptic who run a MMO called Star Trek Online killed the Mac Client with their latest update on tuesday so no Mac users can log into the game until they fix it took 4 weeks last time.
Basically i've managed to get as far as the Windows set up screen where it asks for a name for the Computer.
Here's where i hit the hurdle USB mouse and Keyboard doesn't work, Wireless mouse doesn't work, nor does the Apple Bluetooth Mouse or Keyboard at this stage, so i am stuck.
I downloaded BootCamp5.1.5621 as when looking for drivers using the standard bootcamp install via the app it couldn't find anything which caused a different issue, black screen with \windows/system32/drivers/applessd.sys error. a restart then took me to language and preferences page which again i got stuck due to no mouse or keyboard.
BootCamp5.1.5621 did install drivers which got me to the windows setup page so a step further
Now i am stumped now how to get around this. I know its probably issue with usb port compatibility between mac and windows. 3.0 vs 2.0. I don't have any external gear to convert or plug into the iMac to make the ports usb 2.0
Clicking on ALT to load the partitions and selecting windows takes me to
\windows/system32/drivers/applessd.sys error only the Orange Windows will load to setup screen.
I'm using a Late 2013 21in iMac OS version OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
I have deleted the partition and erased the usb stick with the iso via disk utility several times but cannot get any further than this.
Also when loaded into Mac the windows partition is titled untitled
I have a hard drive from a previous late 2009 iMac which had a fully working boot camp on it with all drivers installed. However when trying to load this it wants to go through the setup process as well and again no mouse or keyboard functions.
Please help
