This may be a stretch but I'm desperate! And it's not really an audio issue but an accounting issue as my Quicken program needs Windows to operate. I've spent the last 2 days trying to get Win7 installed on my Mac Mini to no avail. I've got the HD partitioned ok but every time I go to boot into the windows drive the mini crashes. Because it's a mini server (1 drive is OS and the other one is time machine backup) there's no optical drive so I'm using an external drive to install the software. External drive is working properly as I had to install OSX a few times in this process. Mac says it's a windows problem but I call bullshit as I was able to get it past this point on my MBP with an internal optical drive. The hours of research says it might have something to do with trying to install Win7 from an external drive and the program not recognizing the .iso files needed to make this thing launch. So does anyone out there have any ideas or perhaps a sacrifice I can offer to a technical god that will let this effin software load for me? And maybe I can get some invoices out and pay some bills? T & P welcome too. Thanks!!!
