[QUOTE="Nab93, post: 1479949, member: 286959"] I had tried to install windows 7 on my imac running os lion through a bootable usb as it's superdrive is broken. Firstly I created the bootable usb of windows 7 from my friend's laptop using the instructions on this website [url=http://windows.appstorm.net/how-to/windows-7/how-to-create-a-windows-7-installat]How to Create a Windows 7 Installation USB Drive | Windows.AppStorm[/url] ion-usb-drive/ but bootcamp would raise an error saying disk could not be found. So I modified the info.plist file from bootcamp package contents and created an iso of the bootable usb drive. Bootcamp then allowed to create a windows install usb through the iso and partitioned the hard disk too but after doing so the computer restarted with a black screen and a message ' insert boot disk and press any key'. Now I've deleted the windows partition and really need help installing windows 7. [/QUOTE]
