To fix, I ended up installing from the recently burned DVD. The error was totally non-obvious вЂ“ it said that the hard disk was partitioned as MBR but it needed GPT.

Third, it turns out there is a bug (either in AppleвЂ™s firmware or Windows 8/8.1 setup вЂ“ my suspicion is its an Apple problem) that will not let you install from a USB stick.

To fix, I had to actually burn a copy of the installation media and put it in the optical drive.

Second, it turns out the Boot Camp Assistant wonвЂ™t actually partition the drive unless you have a Windows installer disc in the optical drive.I am trying to install the Mac boot camp 3.1 and 3.2 and its prompting me for 3.0, however I cant find this one. A few of its drawbacks: It only supports a drive with a single partition. In fact, I would personally say that Boot Camp Assistant is one of the worst apps that comes with OS X and unlike the rest, it doesnвЂ™t work seamlessly. Download your copy of Windows 10, then let Boot Camp Assistant walk you through the installation steps. Installing Windows on a Mac should be a piece of cake with Bootcamp, but that rarely is the case.

Boot Camp is a utility that comes with your Mac and lets you switch between macOS and Windows. A Mac cannot be booted off of a USB stick unless it has a GPT partition table. It formats the USB stick using a MBR partition table. First, I used the Microsoft Store utility to burn the Windows 8.1 Enterprise ењ†4 ISO to the USB stick вЂ“ big mistake.My goal was to simply burn a USB-stick installer, put Windows 8.1 on it, and then put the Bootcamp 5 software on it and install Windows. It turned out to be much more of a (mis)adventure than I anticipated.
