Hello to all. I'm trying to set up a bootcamp drive on my mid 2009 mbp 13 inch. I dod the following.
- launch boot camp utility
- clicked continue.
- made sure both boxes were checked.
- connected my thumb drive. (it's formatted properly).
- clicked continue
- chose my thumb drive and clicked continue.
- said ok when it said all my mac supported was win7.
That's when the trouble started. I got an error saying the software was not available on the update server. I have been trying for about a day now. I looked at the apple support forums and no one is quite helpful. I even read an apple KB on it that aid I should have bootcamp 4, but i"m running mavericks. so I really don't know what to do from here.
Take care all.

Hehaah. I know I did. I like I said googled around and most of the forums said try on another mac. Well, that wont' work as I only have this one. Is there a way to circumvent the thing and put the drivers on to the flash drive yourself? A lot of people have this problem on the support forums I've read and no one seems to help. with their suggestions.
Take care.
Hi Marrie. Do you have a

I do have a dvd drive, but I figure the flash media might be faster. I can do a dvd drive though. but it is a bit broken dn works some of the time. lol! I'll try that and get back to this post.
Update: I can't see the cd drive in the list of choices. I put a cd in there, I don't have any dvds, and it will not see the drive. I can burn cds though so that's not the issue. This is getting odder and odder.
Take care.

Ok, in looking at the article, I see that there should be an option to burn to a cd or to install to ausb disk. I don't see that option. I only see the usb disks. This is running maverickss with all updates. and this is starting to drive me nuts. For anyone instesed here is a screen shot of what happens after I click continue after I check the box that says download support drivers.

There is no burn to disk or anything like that as far as I can see.

Um, Ok? why would they do that? and a friend of mine is running windows 7 32 bit just fine on his machine which is now running mavericks. it started out as mountain lion.. Any other advice?
Manually Download the Windows Support Software for Boot Camp
Well it says bootcamp 4 or 5.
Well it says bootcamp 4 or 5. It did not say anything about 64 vs 32 bit. I have the files so do I just copy the what ever it is to the thumb drive? th epdf that the article was from is a bit confusing.
Thanks.
Not too smart on Apple's part.
Ok, I managed to successfully
Ok, I managed to successfully create the boot camp install, how ever whenI ran the setup.exe again as my cd is an upgrade disk I got can't create install directory. I have 10 gigs gigs free. Could that be the problem? I thought I set up 20 gig bootcamp partitions before but can't remember.
Thoughts?
Create a Boot Camp Partition and Install Windows
I did all of that and all
I did all of that and all went well, until I had to upgrade as I bought a upgrade cd, so basically install win7 over win7. I have done this b before on a bootcamp drive iwht no issues, but now here's the oss part.
I can boot in to bootcamp fine wing vmware, but when I boot in to it natively it says that some files were damaged. I can't figure this out. I had no issues using snl 3 years ago in doing this, it just worked. Ihave a 40 gig partition on bootcamp and I used the applevis guide on how to do this, it went off with out a hitch.
