Hello forum,
This is my first post here on your fine forum.
I'm having a problem finishing the installation process of Genuine Windows 7 Ultimate x86-64 on a 2010 MacBook Pro 13' baseline model via Bootcamp 3.0.2.
I have tried several installs, using two different discs. (Burned at 4x using Disc Utility.)
The initial install works just fine, and I can reach the desktop and am able to use the operating system just fine. The actual problem occurs the first time I try to reboot Windows. It shuts down normally, and everything appears normal on boot-up, until I hit the welcome screen. The loading animation goes around a few times, then just freezes completely. I don't hear the processor going or the disk spinning, and my computer gets very hot. The only way I can shut down the computer is by pressing and holding the power button. It happens regardless of if I use the Bootcamp driver installation CD or not, and if I restart or shut down.
I have tried all safe mode options, starting Windows normally, and recovering the OS with both the original installation disc and a NeoSmart specialized recovery/repair disc. THe installation disc reports that it isn't compatible with the installed version of Windows, even though it is the same disc I installed Windows with in the first place. The NeoSmart specialized recovery/repair CD refuses to boot up for some reason.
Please help me resolve my issue.
Thanks in Advance,
Andrew
