A Wasted Day
Wasted a whole day figuring out how to bootcamp Window 7 on my old Macbook (2006 late) without ODD. Thing I’ve tried:
- rEfit method with 32bit and 64bit images — didn’t work throwing out errors that firmware didn’t support. Now I trust the message
- Virtual Machine method — creating bootcamp partition as virtual disk and installing initial files to the disk and continue after rebooting. This almost worked but threw out message that the copied files was missing a file. Here is the link
Mission to create window-only machine for quick access was a fail. No plan to buy external odd just for this one (by the way Macbook Air Superdrive which I have doesn’t work on the old macbook either). Probably too much of a luxury anyway.
