Re: Installed Windows7 Alone.
If it's off topic, a mod will step in and say so. that's not our job to do. Second of all, I don't feel it's OT as we're discussing Bootcamp, which indeed is Apple, and indeed does run with Voiceover through the initial setup, and, um... is an apple product, thank you very much. If there's a problem, write me off list. I'm not starting a warflame on list.

No it cannot, if bootcamp is formatted in windows from another machine when you install you will land immediately on c: no need to select partition.

Re: Installed Windows7 Alone.
Maybe you are mixing me with somebody else, I did it completely alone. From an earlier experience when I had sighted people I knew that it is impossible to format with my oem dvd that's why I used firewire to accomplish the goal. Original message: Two questions, which key's gonna be my alt key? Command? or, option? Secondly, you said you didn't need any sighted help, yet now you say you did, as you had to have someone click advanced. Please don't take this rudely, but what the heck. I'm confused, did you or did you not need sighted help. Sorry, but I'm not doing this, until I know I can do it 100% on my own. Your instructions are great, but when I get to the partition manager, that's where I'm getting stuck. I'm not getting what then I gotta do.
