Here are the steps I'm taking to install Windows 7 64bit on my 2008 Mac pro.

#1 Run Boot Camp Assistant.

#2 Select "Create Windows Partition" on my dedicated 3rd hard drive for Windows.

#3 Run Windows 7 installer.

#4 While having my main Mac HD unplugged from the tower, I click on Partition "Boot Camp" and hit "Install".

Error message - "Unable to locate a system partition."


The other problem is... When I hit "Format", it just erases the Boot Camp partition and just doesn't do anything from there... I can't even format it to NTFS.


Any ideas?
