So, Saturday night a friend and I decided to Bootcamp my Mac. I know; I live an exciting life.
Anyway, Everything was going great until we got to the Windows installation. I thought I would be able to use Narrator but apparently I was wrong.
The drive has been successfully particianed but the Windows installation was interrupted. According to KNFB Reader, I had gotten to the screen where I was supposed to select my language. I tried everything I could think of, tabbing, entering, etc.
Unless there's a way for me to do the install without sighted help, I'll have to wait until my son gets back from visiting his dad. That's not a travesty but it is an annoyance. lol
So, is there a way for me to continue installing Windows 10 without sighted help? If so, how do I do so? My assumption would be that I would need to go into system preferences and override the setting to automatically boot the OSX partician and instead boot the Windows partician. Then what?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

You might want to check applevis to see if they have anything. I wish I knew how to help, but as I've said before in another topic I run 10 in a vm in fusion, but yes you will need sited help for this

Vm is the one that does the install fore you. Boot camp, you will need eye-balls to watch the install.

Ah, ok.
No big deal. I can wait until either he gets back or a sighted geek majically lands at my house. lol
Thanks for letting me know.
I flipflopped on Fusion versus Bootcamp and now wish I had flopped the other way. lol

Sooooo, if I want to undo the partician, can it be done? I've done some research that indicates it should be able to be done using boothcamp assistant. However, the checkbox for uninstalling Windows and removing a partician is dimmed. Could this be because I didn't actually get the windows installed on that volume? I did go to the Disk Utility and erase the contents of the volume per the instructions in an article on CNET.com.
That article then instructed me to click the patrician button but that button remains dimmed.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Now, I'm off to research Fusion.

Your son could make this easy?

Yes, he could but he's visiting his dad for the next 3 weeks or so.
I'll probably just end up waiting until he gets back. I'm a bit afraid of screwing things up worse.

I'm not sure if this would work, but you could try seeing if disc utility sees the partition and if so, you could probably get rid of it that way

Narrator will work after it's successfully been installed to the drive. It'll work as far as
setting up your username and password and things of that nature. It will not work for the
main part of the install.

I have an idea, do you have a full copy of windows, if so next listen up. With a windows computer download a utility called talking windows installer. Please follow the instructions found on set web page.
