Alright, so I know this is a fairly common problem. I have a late 2009 2.66Ghz i5, Mountain Lion. But so far I haven't found any method which actually works. I've recently had a HD replacement. Before that I used bootcamp all of the time. But when trying to install Windows this time, all I am faced with after the installation is a black screen.
I have tried apples method with the drivers on a memory stick, to no avail. Then I tried booting back in to ML and removing the atikmdag.sys file. This worked, I managed to finish the installation but for some reason the installation was corrupted and upon restarting I just got stuck in a loop of Windows trying to repair the disk. My last attempt, once again the Windows installation seemed to of had a problem and would continuously restart and attempt to carry on with the install. So now after about 9 attempts, I'm still without being able to use Windows.
If anyone has any idea what I could try next I would be very grateful. Also just to add I have tried both 32bit and 64.
