Derek12 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I get "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition" The drive was partitioned from OSX installer, as GPT and 3 partitions: for OSX, data and win7 those two as FAT. I did this in the past several times and Windows 7 installed just fine. I don't know why it doesn't now... is there a way to install Win7 preferably without wiping the hard drive nor deleting my almost fully functional OSX install?

fantomas Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 hi you need to (re)format your Windows partition to NTFS (even if your dd is as GPT) with your Windows installer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek12 Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 Many thanks, recreating the partition and formatting and restarting the installer solved it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
