Problem Installing Windows 7 64bit on imac 2012

[sondog2801]

I have created a partition using boot camp and installed Windows 7 Drivers via the bootcamp app. I then installed Windows 7 and it went through the general set up procedure which required a few restarts. About the third restart when I should be getting the message "Windows is configuring for first time use" I just get a blank screen. I then can only restart holding the power button...it then just boots into Windows again and then hangs. The Windows Drivers are on a USB Stick...is the Mac recognising them for the display ect?? If not what am I doing wrong??

I suspect you are correct; at the time when windows boots, the usb is not accessible.

I don't use bootcamp; however, you probably need the drivers on the windows bootable portion.

That said, I'd look for other responses.

It appears from your description of the problem that the drivers have not been installed or something went wrong with the setup. If you follow the Boot Camp instructions step by step in order, Windows 7 should install without a problem. The only suggestion I have is to boot back to OS X, enter Boot Camp, remove the Windows 7 partition, and start over. It helps to print out the Boot Camp instructions and follow along that way.
