[QUOTE="Straitsfan, post: 1783781, member: 47577"] Need help if anyone can give it -- installed win7 on bootcamp yesterday, but when I turned it on today it had a problem with configuring the updates (Which i should have NEVER installed, looking back). Got a message saying there was a failure configuring the updates and it was reverting the changes. Got sick of waiting and turned off the computer, deleted the windows partition, and was going to start again. Today i set the partition, etc, inserted the win7 disc, but it just hung there with "installing windows files." I thought something was wrong -- it just hung there. Stopped the machine , deleted the partition and tried this again, but now when I set the partition and insert the win7 disc, i get the chime and the white screen, but nothing. Tried this a few times. The drive is working fine -- I can play a dvd. I can on think that there's something wrong with the install disc, why I don't know since it worked fine yesterday. looked at it and there appears to be what looks like some mark or scratches on it; not sure if it was there before or something happened yesterday when I was putting it back in it's case. Anyhoo...I read something about installing windows from an iso. I'm assuming that there's a problem with the win 7 disc, so I downloaded the win7 iso to a usb, and my hard drive. how can I use this to set up with bootcamp, if at all? I have an imac 2010 quad core i7, 2.93 ghz running el capitan. I can't seem to get another win7 install disc anywhere. Am i out of luck? Anything I can do? [/QUOTE]
