Mac boot camp no bootable device usb


Then I used Disk Utility to create some free space on the hard drive shared by MacOS and Windows. Now I get this message on boot to windows: no bootable device – insert boot disk and press any key. Using Finder, I can see that my Windows 7 files are all intact, but I cannot boot from Bootcamp! Below is the output from the command diskutil list. 我用MacBook Air的Boot Camp助理制作的Win7启动盘,具体方法不是文章的重点,请参照在 Mac 上通过“启动转换助理”安装 Wi 写文章 系统玄学,Boot Camp助理安装Win7显示No bootable device的解决方案. Hi guys, when I try to instal windows i get “no bootable device” error, i could retourn to mac ant all that stuff, but I have a Bootcapf partition totally empty, I can make the disk an unique one again, but I still have my prob. Installing Win 7 anyway.

Were you trying to install Windows from a USB drive or a DVD? Now, turn off the Mac, and turn it on, holding the Option (Alt) key just after the startup sound, until you see all the bootable partitions on the screen. If you want to start in OS X, choose 'Macintosh HD'.


Also, on that screen, you should see the Windows installation drive, so select it and start the Windows installation. Follow these steps > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf
