I doubt if vmware would be causing the problem. Boot camp creates a
separate partition, and that's what windows uses. A vm ware virtual
machine is just a file in the mac partition. Honestly though, if you
have VM ware fusion, there's really no reason to even mess with boot
camp. Fusion will automate the install of windows for you and you don't
have to reboot to switch operating systems. Also, virtual machines are
much easier to back up. The only disadvantage of using a virtual
machine is that it's slightly slower, but in most cases this isn't even
noticed.

Hi Mike.
I've tried that as well, i honestly just thought of that.
Could vmware be screwing this up at all?
I never had issues with my 2011 macbook pro like this.
Sorry for flooding the list.

One thing you might try if you have speech, if not, connect a USB head
set if you have one and use narrator, windows has built in drivers for
that. Turn off the user account control feature, I've seen that cause
more weird issues than I can count.

Hi Mike and all.
THank you for the wealth of information.
I have a copy of windows 7 32 and 64 bit opporating systems.
The weirdest part is when i'm finished installing windows and it comes
to installing the bootcamp driver disk, i got to setup and the
installer says it can not continue.
I remember with my old laptop from 2011, i could install bootcamps
drivers just fine.
Does anybody have any further ideas? i'm fairly sure that it isn't a
windows disk issue.
Also, when i look at the windows partition it isn't labeled boot camp.
Does this cause any problems?
I realize i can use vmware fusion but i need the extra ram and
processing power for programs for development.
THank you and i'm so sorry for the long email.

Depending on which mac you have, 64 bit windows should work. This may
require that the mac use 64 bit firmware, which most recent ones do.
Depending on what you're doing though, there may not be any advantage
to running 64 bit windows, and in some ways it's more complicated, for
example there are 2 program files folders.

Hi all.
So, i followed Chris's instructions for installing windows under
bootcamp. It worked wonderfully.
I have a question, does windows 7 or 8 not work under 64 bit?
I cant get it to work at all.
Any help would be appreciated, does anybody run windows 64 bit on the list.
