[QUOTE="fnyzzel, post: 1030226, member: 149873"] Thank you for your reply, your tip was indeed helpful. I tried your suggestion and during the disk repair Disk Utility reported a number of errors and failed to complete the repair. I found this a bit strange as the computer is brand new, but I decided to back it up, format and do a clean install of Mac OS. After restoring the computer I tried again to make a BootCamp partition and install Windows 7 on it. The first attempt failed but the second try, for some reason, was successful! Finally after two days of trying to get it working! And to clarify, the Apple drivers on the USB-stick where not the regular boot camp drivers, but specific drivers for the screen and bluetooth accessories to keep the installer from crashing, and are required to be loaded during the installation of Windows 7 on these new iMacs. Anyway thanks a lot for your help! For some reason I overlooked the possibility of a corrupt disk since the computer was so new. Shame on me. [/QUOTE]
