  • Boot Camp supports only Windows 7 or later installation on that platform. Please use a file ISO of Windows 7 or later installation.

    Hello

    I tried to fix this for hours, I hope someone can help me.

    I downloaded the ISO "Win10_1607_English_x64.iso" (4.29 GB) file and with him came a "info.plist" (2 KB), so they are both on my 64 GB USB Drive (format: MS-DOS (FAT32)) called 'WINSTALL '.

    I have the ISO on the USB key, and it is selected as the ISO image in Boot Camp. I also have the USB the disk of destination selected, and yet I get this error:

    I'm currently under OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.6 on my iMac (21.5 inch, end 2012) that is compatible with Windows 10.

    If anyone can help me I honestly love so much, I tried contacting Apple Support staff by phone, they said that they can't do anything, I tried to contact their Live Chat, but none of this has helped to solve the problem, and I tried to look online, but can't find too much.

    Thanks in advance for any answer!

    What OSX Version do you have? This site gives the requirements of Bootcamp: minimum system requirements to install Windows on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support. And you did an upgrade? Could it be that the upgrade will not correctly for the OS?

    Looking at the 10 Windows version you downloaded, is the update of birthday, which was released less than a month ago. It could be that Apple is not reconisgin the Windows version when reading the disk, because it is too recent. I don't know if you have access to the download of the previous generation and do a Windows update?

  • Cannot install Windows 10 from USB on older iMac

    10.11.2 here on an end Quad Core iMac 2009 (11.1) running. Newly added THAT SSD has a GUID partition scheme. My Superdrive is problems, so I changed the file Info.plist of the Bootcamp Assistant to support my iMac by adding my model # for the readers of preusbsupported, removed the pre and added to my version of boot rom. He then began to create the Windows 10 ISO on the USB without problem. I then start the installation of Windows 7 Bootcamp and more. Once finished, I stop the iMac to be able to do a cold start system and use the startup key Option. I then started on the newly formed Stick Pen labeled EFI. I proceed with the beginning of the installation of Windows 10. However, when I get to the part where fault window to format the Bootcamp partition always reports back that 'Windows cannot be installed to this disk. Windows cannot be installed to GPT disks on EFI systems,'. So that's where I'm stuck. Can anyone shed light on this issue and if there is a solution for this? I appreciate it because I spent hours trying to fix without result! Thanks for your help!

    Update: I have done experiments about the above issue and found that if I just let free unallocated space on the SSD for Windows 10 10 Windows install it reformatted and installation takes place. I wonder if the above question has something to do with firmware the in the 2009 end iMac? Anyway, the good news is that I finally got the USB Installer Windows 10 working on an older unsupported late 2009 27 "iMac. 10 Windows installed fine internal DVD drive for the iMac, but who went south so now I have an alternative!

    I try to install Windows Embedded Standard 7 on an vacuum Compact Flash 4 GB but when installing, I get an error message "Windows cannot access the installation sources. "Check that the installation sources are accessible, and run the Setup again."

    I created an answer file with the Configuration of Image Editor and I created an Image of the IBW of my answer file. All the files and the Image of the IBW (738 MB) files are copied to a USB bootable 4 GB. I inserted the Flash DRIVE to a computer with a Compact Flash 4 GB (which contains only a primary NTFS partition set as Active) and it starts on a USB key. IBW Wizard starts and I followed the instructions until the disk selection step. I chose the disk and partition of Compact Flash and I press the next button. First 2 installation steps manage (copy of Windows files and extend Windows files) but 3rd step (installing features and updates) failed with the error message "Windows cannot access the installation sources. Check that the installation sources are accessible, and run the Setup again.'.»

    I tried to do the same thing with a Compact Flash 4 GB, which contains 2 partitions: a primary NTFS defined as active and a system partition, but I got the same result. Then I tried to install it on a Compact Flash 8 GB which contains 1 single defined primary partition as active and I managed.

    Problem is that I must install on a Compact Flash 4 GB.

  • What is a Windows 8 certified USB flash drive?

    I just bought my 3rd USB flash drive in the hope of being able to copy my recovery image. My computer would not use the first two I tried all ports USB 4 - port 2.0 and 3.0. This time, I bought a HP flash drive who said that she supports Windows 8. I understand that I should not use a Windows 8 certified USB flash drive. Before I open this disc, I want to know if it's a. If so, I will return it not open - unlike the first two I tried.

    The States of package under requirements that Windows 8 is one of the necessary systems. For me, this does not mean that it is certified for Windows 8. Am I wrong?

    Computer: HP 500 - a60. 8.1 Windows (x 64)

    Hello

    Your question has not been answered by Erico on one of your other posts?

    If a piece of equipment is certified MS then it should be presented to MS for certification.  Some USB flash drives are marked on the package compatible with Windows 8, but this does not mean that the particular flash drive is "certified."

    There is to many, many USB flash drives that work with Windows 8. Some have argued that, if the USB flash drive as a 'removable' device, so it should work with the HP Recovery Media Creator.  However, I recently discovered that one of flash USB 2 (team F108 64 G) drives that I is not set up as a 'removable device' when you open my ThisPc (myPC) and it works perfectly for me.

All USB keys works well on my desktop (Windows 7).
