My attempts to install Windows 7 have been failures so far.
When I attempt to install Windows 7 through the BootCamp assistant, it partitions the drive successfully, and automatically reboots, but once rebooted it loads into the Mac grey screen, then there's this slight change in the border and the color into white. I believe that this is Windows 7 trying to start, but it's unsuccessful. I have attempted it this way at least 3 times now, to no avail.
When I boot using the Option key, I have a choice to pick the Windows 7 disc as a startup drive. If I do, it takes me into the install successfully, but when I get to drive select, there's no drives for me to install it on.
What am I doing wrong, and how do I fix it?
Some info about my rig is currently unavailable, because I don't know the precise year or specs, and its a challenge to get it to properly boot into Mac for some reason. (It's an old Mac Pro, I believe a 2008 model. I know that it has dual Quad-Core Xeons and 10 GB RAM, as well as a GT8800.)
The Windows install disc is a downloaded ISO file burned onto the disc. It may or may not be the problem, I couldn't really say.
Any ideas as to how to fix this?
