[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1663278, member: 38864"] The screen cap you see is identical to the one I see on my mid-2010 iMac. The problem I have is that I replaced my internal DVD drive with an SSD, and you cannot install Windows from an external DVD drive. At least not on Macs that came with an internal one. So question here is... did you do something similar and no longer have an internal DVD drive? EDIT: also note that the message says you need a full install version of Windows, not an "upgrade" version. [/QUOTE]
