[QUOTE="NDog636, post: 1554814, member: 316589"] Im having problems with Disk Utility trying to put windows 7 on my 2011 MacBook Pro. I'll start with some background on the computer. Originally it was OS X 10.8 and I added windows 7 successfully through disk utility. After adding windows I updated to OS X 10.9. I then added Ubuntu Server 13.10 and had problems mounting the iso, I ended up mounting it on another mac. No problems partitioning the disk although I did end up deleting the windows partition. Now, when trying to add a partition it gets stuck on "Preparing to partition disk" and doesn't change state. I am trying to add a 35GB partition. The problem with mounting the iso still exists. Would it be something I did wrong while installing Ubuntu Server? Is it fixable? Maybe there is a limit to the number of partitions I can have? [/QUOTE]
