Thuber, I will recommend you to restart in Windows 10 safe mode using the installation disk/usb you used during the installation. It is always the same issue, the system starts, windows 10 loaded, black screen, reboot.ĭid you have the same problem? Have you identify the issue?.Ĭorrect, the main problem are the drivers installed by Windows Update. Because of it, I think the problem is related to a driver installed by Windows 10 updates sooner or later, not by the bootcamp drivers. I have repeated the process several times and it doesn't matter if I have installed the bootcamp drivers or not, at some point the system is not able to complete the booting and Windows 10 reboot again. After restart Windows 10, it is in a rebooting loop, it is not able to load the Windows 10 drivers until the end. Once in Windows 10, I have installed the bootcamp drivers and the installation was fine. Afterwards, I have installed Windows 10 properly. I have partitioned the disk using bootcamp, disable the System Integrity protection in recovery mode (because I am using El Capitan) so I can install Windows 10 in the bootcamp partition. iMac late 2009 21.5' with Windows 10 (EFI install disk) using bootcamp. Hopefully the bootcamp drivers will fix it.ĭoes anyone else have any tips or success stories to share?

Next thing to try will be to install the bootcamp 5.1 drivers in safe-mode individually as the setup.exe complains about the version not being supported. On investigation this is something to do with networking, but I'm no expert in this matter. The last entries on this log are multiple attempts to load AFD.SYS Going into normal safe-mode works fine, and I selected the boot logging option. Then you get various options for safe mode, command prompt, network etc. You need to hold F8 down before you select the EFI-Boot with enter. I can take the USB stick out and safe-boot into the EFI-Boot option that now exists on the list of available boot disks. I get the spinning balls progress icon then black screen. I booted from the 'EFI-Boot' USB stick and went through the install process. 'Remove a hybrid MBR using gdisk: Use the experts' menu ('x'), then type 'n' to create a new protective MBR, then 'w' to save your changes.' With some help from Rob Smith (rEFInd) I fixed this using gdisk to write a new Protected MBR Made sure I had a free partition on a standard GUID partitioned disk (my original hard disk), importantly without a previous install of bootcamp as this creates a Hybrid MBR which Windows 10 refuses to install on too. I have a working Windows 7 bootcamp partition, that until I can prove Windows 10 works, I don't really want to delete/upgrade.ĭownloaded the media creation tool ( ) to make a USB stick I'm on a quest to run Windows 10 on my late 2009 27' iMac.Īfter my recent upgrade to an 1TB SSD and 16GB ram it's still a great computer.
