[QUOTE="sandwichbite, post: 1503050, member: 297531"] Hi, I have a Macbook Air with OS X 10.8.3, 2GB RAM, 250GB Hard Drive I am usually a Windows user, and wanted to get Windows 7 on my macbook via bootcamp. I created a partition for Windows 7, and clicked install. It restarted, then went to a screen that was black except for the bottom, which had text saying,"Windows is loading files", and a loading bar that fillls up about 10%, then freezes. I left it on for 7 hours, and still it did not budge. I tried this a good 15 times, but nothing ever changed. I have checked the DVD for smudges and scratches; it has none. I have removed Windows 7, restarted my mac, then reinstalled it. The format is MS-DOS (FAT). I can think of nothing else to do, and this is reallllly starting to get on my nerves. Can someone please help? [/QUOTE]
