[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1783563, member: 46727"] If you're following the Boot Camp instructions, you should have no problem. Boot Camp first partitions your selected drive to make room for the Windows installation, and then it formats that partition to FAT-32. From there, it guides you to install Windows. The Windows installation will ask where it is to be installed and then the FAT-32 partition that was created must be formatted to NTFS before the Windows 7 installation will proceed. Don't know what you're doing wrong? What kind of disk are you trying to install Windows on? Is it your primary boot disk where you have macOS installed? You can not install Windows to a second hard drive or external hard drive without hacks. [/QUOTE]
