[QUOTE="cowproduct, post: 1152952, member: 181529"] It is a full retail version of Windows 7 Home Premium. Ir formatted the way Boot Camp formats it, which I think is MS-DOS (FAT32). I don't think it is an issue with the disk, I've tried both the 32-bit and 64-bit, but I'm sure I can only run the 32-bit version on this Mac from memory when I did it about a year ago. I removed the partition with Boot Camp, reset the Mac, partitioned and installed again with the same issue. 'Windows is loading files' with the white bar, then the Logo saying 'Starting Windows' then the black screen of death. At least Microsoft have moved away from just using the blue screen for that. Do I have to format my Mac? I'd prefer not do that. [/QUOTE]
