Ok so I have a 2011 MBP and 10.9.3 Mavericks. I also got rid of my cd drive and replaced it with a hard drive.
So basically I was able to download the drivers to a usb, partition my drive and with my external cd drive I was able to burn the win 7 ISO perfectly (This is the SAME ISO I bought and used on this same machine back when I was on Lion or Mountain Lion, I had no issues installing)
So once it was burning I can see my BOOTCAMP partition+external drive works and detects the dvd
So once I restart, I hold option key and I can pick EFI, Windows Disk, Mac, Recovery
BUT once I go on the Windows, I hear the disk "load" and the screen goes black and you see a blinking _ or underscore. Nothing happens after that
So I even tried using a bootable USB drive and it wouldn't show up when I hold option (I did the method where you edit info.plist which enables you to create a usb bootable drive with a ISO
I even tried burning it on a whole new disk AND still won't get past the beeping _
What do you think is the reason for this?
