[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1611827, member: 46727"] Yeah, seems like we found the problem. I should have asked you before... anyway, yes, you should be able to install the 32 bit version of Windows 7. Here's what you'll need to do: Boot back to Lion. Run the Boot Camp Assistant again but this time tell it to remove the Boot Camp partition you created. It will give you a warning about losing all your Windows data. Since you haven't any, just press OK and let it remove the partition. It will also merge the Boot Camp space back into your hard drive. After you verify everything is back to normal, go ahead and run Boot Camp again but make sure you first download the latest version of the Boot Camp software that supports your Mac Pro and Lion. This time Windows 7 x 32 bit should install OK. [/QUOTE]
