How many hard drive partions are you seeing after you format with bootcamp, but while you are installing windows 7.


I don't remember offhand... one is called osx, one was bootcamp. There may have been.. two others? It has been the same every time though


Sounds right. I had 4 partitions as well. Two were tiny, the other two were OS X and bootcamp.

The only thing I see in the bootcamp guide is the following part regarding your mouse:

If the Windows installer isn’t responding
Be sure you are using the original keyboard and mouse that came with your computer.
If you’re using an Apple Mighty Mouse, the Windows installer may not respond if the mouse is connected directly to your computer. Connect the Mighty Mouse to the USB port on your keyboard.


I have that new bluetooth mouse so for this purpose I am using a seperate USB mouse. That said, I dont think the mouse has anything to so with the problem I'm having since there is no screen to scroll my mouse across: it's just a blank screen

this is driving me nuts!
