[QUOTE="fireman0174, post: 1520252, member: 120635"] This involves an iMac. I ran into an error trying to load Windows 7 in the “boot camp” partition on my iMac. I must state that this was a reload as I had some issues with the computer and reformatted the entire drive, reloaded MAC OS and then Windows 7. The partition size for Windows 7 was 200 GB while the drive itself is 1TB. After setting up the partition and loading Windows 7 Home, on step 4 of the “Boot Camp Installation & Setup Guide”, where I’m to install the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows, I got the following warning screen: [B][SIZE="4"]Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model.[/SIZE][/B] I tried this three times with the same result. I then “reset” the hard drive using Boot Camp Assistant for only 1 partition, eliminating the Windows 7. It’s important to note that when I first loaded the Windows 7, about a year ago, I had no such problem. Also, all of the software are originals. Any ideas of what’s happening and how I can load Windows on the iMac without this error? In advance, thanks! [/QUOTE]
