- iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017) 8 GB DDR4, 1TB Fusion Drive, MacOS Catalina 10.15.1
I have iMac 21.5 Inch (Mid 2011) with 8 GB Ram, 2TB SSHD, New HL-DT-ST DVDRW GA32N and tried to install windows 7 (32 Bit) on it using Boot Camp Assistant.
I have already downloaded & copied Boot Camp Software 4.0.4033.zip from here -> https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630?locale=en_US to my 16 GB Pen Drive MS-DOS (FAT32)
The installation succeeded and windows 7 loaded just fine 1st time, I created UserID and Password, Setup Time etc.. using apple keyboard then installed the apple drivers on it from my 16 GB Pen drive. My Magic Mouse seems to works but my Keyboard doesn’t get detected
Then I've tried to reboot so the changes would take effect, and since then my Windows doesn’t Boot or Run Windows 7
Now if i start my iMac hold the Option Key i get Machintosh HDD, Windows, Recovery 10.11.4 and DVD Windows. If i select Windows or DVD Windows it starts Booting then Black Screen appears followed by this Message on the screen “Press any Key to Boot from CD or DVD . . . .”
If i press any key it starts booting from DVD and gives me option to Install Windows and if i don’t press any key then nothing happens
Windows doesn’t Boot from BootCamp HDD and I’m left with no option but to press Power Button to Shutdown iMac.
Luckily my El Capitan is working fine but my Windows doesn’t Boot. I’ve tried 2 times installing windows 7 32 Bit on my BootCamp HDD.
So any Help I don’t understand what am i doing wrong I would really appreciate if some one with knowledge of bootcamp can guide me so that i can run Windows as well OSX on my iMac.
Thanks in advance.
