Hi

i'm new to MACs & OS X, and want to install win 8 for gaming.

I hve used BC Assistant to create a windows partition, and have loaded my win 7 install onto a USB (had to use MS Windows USB Creator as BC Assistant kept failing).

When i reboot (and hold down the alt key) windows can be selected and setup begins fine.

When i choose the install destination drive it says cannot be installed here as drive is in GPT format (even after formatting i get this error).

So i'm stumped. Its x64 win 8 (can try x32) but otherwise i'm out of ideas...
 
Well all fixed!

In the end I had to copy the USB contents off the install stick, format it to exFAT then put the contents back on.

Then when I booted I had the choice of EFI install, which all worked fine.

Apparently 2013 airs are UEFI 2.0 compliant, which is a good thing :confused:
