I'm on a MacBookPro8,1, Late 2011 and I'm running latest version of El Capitan with SIP disabled (if that matters at all)
@DavidAnderson I've been following the tutorial steps from @DavidAnderson posted here Boot camp install of Windows 7 issue, no bootable devices but I can't get the damn thing to work and as a new user here I'm not allowed to post in that thread :(
The only difference I have compared to the tutorial above is that my Disk Number is 2 instead of 1 in tutorial step 9.
After inputting the code from tutorial step 12 which is:
INPUT=$(printf "f $PARTITION\nw\ny\nq")
sudo fdisk -e $DISK0 <<<"$INPUT"
I get an error:
Artists-MacBook-Pro:~ Artist$ INPUT=$(printf "f $PARTITION\nw\ny\nq")
Artists-MacBook-Pro:~ Artist$ sudo fdisk -e $DISK0 <<<"$INPUT"
fdisk: could not open MBR file /usr/standalone/i386/boot0: No such file or directory
Enter 'help' for information
fdisk: 1> Partition 4 marked active.
fdisk:*1> Device could not be accessed exclusively.
A reboot will be needed for changes to take effect. OK? [n] Writing MBR at offset 0.
I'm assuming that's not supposed to happen? How do I proceed from here? I have kept going with the tutorial despite this error several times without success. The next error I get is at step 18.
The full error is as follows:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine BootCamp.
VD: error VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED opening image file '/Users/Artist/Documents/VirtualBox/bootcamp.vmdk' (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED).
VD: error VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED opening image file '/Users/Artist/Documents/VirtualBox/bootcamp.vmdk' (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED).

Can anyone please help me? I've spent the last 3 days trying to install windows on this mac as I desperately need them and I've spent the last 5 hours on this tutorial alone without luck :( what am I doing wrong? I followed tutorial to the T but I must have missed something somewhere.
