[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1558968, member: 46727"] Just follow the Boot Camp directions. You'll be instructed to download a driver disk image from Apple which will contain the proper drivers for your MacBook Pro in order to run Windows. Initially, Boot Camp will format a partition and size that you designate to FAT-32, and the Windows 7 installer will afterward format that partition to NTFS so it can be used for Windows 7. If you purchase Windows 7 direct from Microsoft, it will be downloaded as an executable file which you will have to run on a Windows machine in order to change it to an ISO. And if your MacBook Pro does not have a disk drive, you'll need to install Windows 7 from a flash drive or an external hard drive. [/QUOTE]
