(I didn't format the CD ahead of time, just used it the way it came off the stack). Use Disk Utility to erase the Bootcamp partition completely and zero it out so that I had basically a blank Bootcamp drive.Äownload from Apple onto a CD the necessary drivers to make Windows work with Apple hardware as recommended in the Bootcamp instructions. Don't use an oem disk at all if you can help it because the license is good only for the hard drive it is originally installed on or possibly another identical hard drive. because they will only install on a PC of that brand. Don't use an oem version from HP or Dell, etc. I had to use a Microsoft oem version of WIndows 7 because I couldn't find my original retail Windows 7 disk. So I eventually reinstalled it on the original partition using an install disc with Windows 7 oem from Microsoft. During a routine update WIndows completely stopped working, could not repair itself, could not boot the computer and was not amenable to repair by a Windows repair tool that I had. I had a huge problem recently with Windows 7 on Bootcamp on my 2009 MacBook Pro running OS 10.7.5.
