[QUOTE="Kaplui, post: 705782, member: 63727"] Hello:) Situation: Since a while I'm setting up iMac's. With [B]Boot Camp Assitant[/B] I create partitions, then booting from a Windows Vista install disk, installing Vista and hurray! But one of the 8 iMac's I'm setting up like that, didn't work as planned: Problem: I created a 32 GB (recommended) partition with BC-Assistant, the last step in the assistent is, to [B]insert the Windows install disk and click 'Start Installation' then it restarts, booting from the DVD.[/B] Normally it would load the data from the DVD (or something like that) and then the Installation menu appears. But in my case [B]right after the iMac restarts, I get a Windows-typical black screen with a blinking underscore in the upper-left corner, hanging[/B] (meaning nothing more happens). I've also noticed that the other iMac's i've done, showed the same blinking underscore right after restarting, but it was a little bit smaller and it only appeared 1-2 seconds. What the heck could that be?! And the funny thing is, approximately the 8 iMac's are identically. Or at least I did the same procedure 8 times the same way and the problem occured while setting up the 4. iMac. The ones after worked perfect like the first three iMac's. So... :D Does anyone, have any suggestions what the problem could be here? I thank you already now! Greetings Kaplui [/QUOTE]
