    How to Install Windows 7 64-bit on new 2010 MacBook Pro

    I just got a new Macbook Pro released in 2010 and tell you its really great to have it because of its features and interface. I am trying to mount Windows 7 Professional x64 on it which I have downloaded with installation iso from MSDN and loaded it to a disk. I was able to effectively boot from the loaded disk but when I start with the genuine installation it provide with the error as "An essential CD/DVD device driver is absent". Which ask to find the driver and the installation does not continue working, so if anyone having solution for this problem please let me know.

    I think there may be compatibility issue with windows 7 64 bit in your latest MacBook Pro in which you are trying to install it. You need to check for the compatibility of windows 7 64 bit on your system after which you need to have the genuine CD or DVD after which i don't think there should be any issue of windows 7 64 bit not installing on your MacBook Pro.

    I think CD drive which you are using may be corrupted or it may be faulty because of which you are not able to install it properly. Think this is the biggest problem because of which your installation process not able to complete i suggest to suggest go for the genuine CD or DVD from Microsoft they will provide you with the license for it and you will be able to install it. And if any problem still occur while installation then Microsoft will help you to resolve the same.

    I think if you are trying with genuine CD or DVD from Microsoft for installing Windows 7 64-bit on your MacBook Pro, then i think you should visit to the Microsoft website or contact them with problem of your and i think they will solve. They will surely resolve your issue with the installation not working properly in your MacBook Pro or they will provide you with new CD after which you might resolve your problem. Also provide your system specification to Microsoft because it can be the issue with your system which is not capable with your system specification.
