All options to erase in Disk Utility are greyed out. Omni Tech Solutions is an IT service provider. Not sure why it disallows you from erasing the Boot Camp Partition and re-creating a new one Also, I'd like to point out that the error you received is the least ridiculous part about the post.
An external hard drive assuming it's an actual hard drive and not just a flash drive is a lot of effort just to store under MB of drivers. And always confirm what you're installing before you do it. Get a full night's rest if necessary. In the last section of my post I noted Using an external Hard Drive because I didn't happen to have a flash drive isn't all that ridiculous.
It's more ridiculous that the Mac Book didn't come with a disk or flash drive with the software already on it As the previous devices have. My mishap of the wrong OS install is easily trumped by the fact that you can't erase a second partition on the HD.
Theoretically yes. I can't seem to find the latest Boot Camp update Not the Windows driver software. I'm not sure why they can't break down the models better than displaying them in a picture gird Does this help?
It does, but I back-checked the sys requirements prior to installation. I simply put the wrong DVD in thus getting stuck with 32 bit instead of 64 bit.
As of right now my only option seems to be a fresh install of the OS X Which means I need to do another full OS update then run boot camp again. Rebooted into Internet Recovery, tried to reinstall OS X but it wouldn't let me choose any of the partitions, went into Disk Utility and partitioned it back to 1 partition. Then I couldn't select any options at the Internet Recovery main menu All options greyed out. Sometimes when you go through bootcamp to install windows it will actually change your "Windows Partition" to the selected startup disk.
Go into setting, select start up disc make sure your Mac OSX partition is selected and then restart your computer. It should be easy. When it restarts, you'll have a few options. Select the Disk Utility option. In the window, at the top of the left bar, select your Mac's Main Drive and proceed with the installation. This procedure automatically erase the content of your HD and so remove the Windows installed. Improve this answer. Community Bot 1.

I now have to upgrade it to Windows, which is a difficult task as the Windows drivers for MacBook Pro 5,5 are not easily available.
Thank you for your help. Maybe you should post a new question asking how to upgrade to Windows To do a clean install of Windows 10, you should be able to use the same drivers as you used for Windows 7.
Basically, you should be able to use the drivers from this Boot Camp Support Software. To upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 should not necessarily require any drivers. The upgrade should use the existing drivers already installed in Windows 7. I have tried multiple times to use the BootCamp Windows-7 drivers, but non of them work after upgrading to Windows So none of the devices are currently working, but generic drivers are working for keyboard and USB.
The built-in trackpad, audio, backlight are all dead. It would be really helpful If you can point me somewhere, where I can find a solution.
Thank you. I am not sure what you mean by "use the BootCamp Windows-7 drivers". Looks like I need to erase the Windows partition and try installing Windows independently instead of through BootCamp, to check if that works.
