[QUOTE="Anorexic Leader, post: 964575, member: 136336"] Alright, so what I did to fix this issue is... My girlfirends grandpa bought this 27" imac. He wanted Windows 7 through bootcamp to run a few windows based apps. As we all know I ran into the blank screen issue. What did I do? I called Apple, and I had already figured that Windows wasn't able to display on this abnormal (and awesome-ly) large 27" screen, not allowing me to finish setup. So I downloaded VMWare as a trial, set it to open my bootcamp drive, and finish installation of 7 Ultimate. I inserted the OS X 10.6.2 disc, browsed and put the drivers for bootcamp on the Win partition. And now it allows me to use win as regular, by selecting option at start up. Boom Roasted, darn blank screen. Virtualization FTW! It saved my bacon. [/QUOTE]
