Well-Actually War Trall The Ratt Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Well, I have a question about this. Windows 7 has sketchy support supposedly, but many people say they have gotten it to work. I am trying to install 64-Bit Windows 7 on my 2 year old iMac running 10.5. When I go through BootCamp and restart my computer to get the installation going I have two problems. The first is I get a screen asking with a 1. and 2. with nothing else other than something asking what kind of disc installation type it is, and I have no idea what to enter. The second problem is my aluminum mac keyboard doesn't work. Would getting a different keyboard help? I appreciate any help, and thank you in advance.

Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I recently came across this advice. I've never used Bootcamp, so I've no idea how much help it may be, but hopefully it's some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall The Ratt Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 Hmm, I have a feeling that I may have some trouble because I don't have 64-Bit drivers for my keyboard. Can anyone confirm this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 According to this support article, your iMac does not support 64-bit Boot Camp. The reasons for this are twofold. 1. Many older Macs, even some with 64-bit CPUs, do not have 64-bit EFIs and can therefore not boot a 64-bit kernel. 2. Apple does not provide 64-bit Windows drivers for any Mac not on that list. Unfortunately, the only way to run Windows 7 on your system is to install the 32-bit version.
