and your MBR is already populated as

These match, so you do not need Gdisk. Run Bootcamp Assistant, and click on the last option only, if the Windows installer starts and lets you choose this BC partition, continue.
If it gives an error, use BCA and check the first two boxes (there is no need to allow bootcamp to partition the disk, since it is already there), which will build the USB/ISO (depending on you iMac model). BCA should also detect this partition as one for Windows based on the MBR.
What year is your iMac? Does it have a built-in Optical Drive?
-
Nov 17, 2014 10:16 AM in response to Loner Tby Baron MARTo,Late 2012 for my iMac, no optical drive.
And for the 1To missing, installing Windows repair this problem?
-
Nov 17, 2014 10:28 AM in response to Baron MARToby Loner T,Create the USB/ISO using only the first two options. Leave the USB plugged in, and start from the USB and install Windows.
The 1Tb Free Space can be fixed once you have Windows installed and running.
-
Nov 17, 2014 10:36 AM in response to Loner Tby Baron MARTo,Same problem than before: I format the partition in NTFS and after Windows refuse to install saying he can't create a new partition or localised a partition. I'am so disappointed.
-
Nov 17, 2014 10:36 AM in response to Baron MARToby Loner T,If you format the partition, it is there. Can you scroll down in the partition list?
Can you post a screen shot? Leave it on the screen with the error message.

-
Nov 17, 2014 10:45 AM in response to Baron MARToby Loner T,If you click on format, are you allowed to select it and click next?
-
Nov 17, 2014 10:46 AM in response to Loner Tby Baron MARTo,Yes, it's already formatted. That the answer i have when it's done.

Nov 17, 2014 10:58 AM in response to Baron MARToby Loner T,Your screen looks a bit different from http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf Page 6.
-
Nov 17, 2014 11:06 AM in response to Loner Tby Baron MARTo,No, that the same, only my problem doesn't appear in the problem's list. All of this began to be ridiculous, i am thinking to give my imac to an Applestore and let them do this awesome operation.

Nov 17, 2014 2:20 PM in response to Baron MARToby Loner T,Apologies, my phone just showed these messages.
1. The Untitled volume is NTFS. The MBR matches.
2. If you want to return it back to the default 3TB Fusion drive, we did this on the this thread - Can't format former Boot Camp partition - see page 5.

Nov 18, 2014 10:27 AM in response to Loner Tby Baron MARTo,Ok Thanks, i'll do that later.
May be i'am going to try this method:
