[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 855350, member: 38864"] *smacks head* I just now noticed you said you didn't have Boot Camp. Well that's the problem. Doing things the "hard way" isn't going to cut it. Unless you actually read some tutorial that is known and proven to get Windows installed and working properly on a Mac the way you did it, then the way you did it certainly is the problem. Boot Camp is REQUIRED to set up a partition in a manner that will allow Windows to install properly onto Intel Macs... largely because Windows hasn't been written to be used on machines using EFI in lieu of BIOS. There may be 3rd-party solutions aside from Boot Camp, but shooting from the hips and hoping for the best isn't one of them. [/QUOTE]
