[Resolved] White Screen During Windows 7 Installation

HI guys.

I am trying to install windows 7 using bootcamp on my macbook pro mid 2012 after deleting a previous install and everything goes fine until bootcamp partitions the drive and then begins to restart to boot into the Windows installation..

When it reboots I get a white screen and nothing happens.. windows does not boot.

I try instead to create an ISO image and boot from a flash drive and the same thing happens..

If anybody has any experience with this or knows the solution to the problem I'd appreciate the help.

Thanks

Update: For some reason the Windows startup does not like having more than 2 USB devices plugged in during the boot.. I unplugged my USB hub and it booted fine.

Why did you have to delete a previous install of Windows 7? And tell us what kind of disk you're using to install Windows 7. OEM? MS Boxed? Branded?

I have actually resolved this now...

For some strange reason the Windows startup does not like having more than 2 USB devices plugged in during boot.

I unplugged my USB hub and it booted fine.. but once plugged back in it white screens again. Very odd...
