Os X Iso Image Download For Window 8.1
Well, I had hoped this copy of 8.1 would allow me to install windows 8 on either my macbook air or imac. I have an proper license and Windows 8 copy given by my employer. I just can't install it on either machine. If I boot the default installer on the imac after running the bootcamp utility, I get an error that the partition is of type GPT. If I boot the efi installer than it will install but I get stuck on the blue windows logo forever. On the macbook air (purchased 3 months ago), the bootcamp utility does boot via EFI, but I get an error half way that the system was enabled to configured for reboot.
If I don't get the error halfway the installation, it's right at the beginning that it can't find space or a partition. When that happens, I've found that deleting the partition completely, then pointing to the empty space will allow to continue install (which will either fail later, or won't boot once installation is complete). However then, you find that windows installer has created 4 new partitions and the bootcamp utility is unable to restore the disk to its original state. Only way I found then was to start the windows installer, press Shift-F10 to start a command prompt, and use diskpart to manually delete the partition. I've now tried 3 different version of windows, my original media, a windows 8 MSDN copy, and now that 8.1 image.
Sorry for the software question in Toms hardware, basically my pc crashes everytime i try to download the windows creation tool to create a bootable usb, so i decided to download the iso on a mac.

Windows 8 sucks. Well, I had hoped this copy of 8.1 would allow me to install windows 8 on either my macbook air or imac. Windows 8.1 installed fine for me on my MacBook Pro. I purchased a copy of 8.1 Pro on the Microsoft website, I got onto a Windows 7 computer and downloaded the Windows 8 download tool. Then I entered the product code and it downloads a full Windows 8.1 installation. It asked me, whether I want to install on the current PC, make a bootable disk or save as ISO. I saved it as an ISO, used Boot Camp to make the USB drive and voila!
Mugen for mac os x download. Fresh copy of 8.1 Pro on my Mac. I manually installed – my steps may help you as Bootcamp Assistant didn't work for the scenario I wanted (external USB boot on a Mac Pro) originally this is exactly the setup I wanted to get going. Didn't think of using Parallel/VMware to finish the installation.
I had also created the partition manually and copied the image manually without even using the installer. This is what got me the furthest. Maybe that's all that is required. Will certainly try ASAP. Thanks for that hint BTW, in your diskpart steps, the first 200MB partition should be of type EFI. Windows will handle it fine, but not all system will. I wasted like two evenings getting the thing running it's a very 'unsupported' configuration but works great, and I use an SSD externally which boots very nice and quickly.
At first I thought my problems were due to me trying to install it on the Promise Pegasus R4 I have connected. I had extracted the drivers so the drive would be seen by the installer.
After two days of various tests I thought bugger it I'm going to do a 'normal' install. Well, wasn't working either. This guide too me the furthest: which is in essence what you've done. A quick question though. What made you try finishing the install with parallel? The mac wouldn't reboot natively in windows following the first reboot?
A quick question though. What made you try finishing the install with parallel? The mac wouldn't reboot natively in windows following the first reboot? Yeah, windows said it was unsupported when it tried to do the initial boot.
