Q: Installing Windows using El Capitan
Problem : I was able to create Windows install USB stick using Boot camp on Mountain Lion. After upgrading to El Capitan, I am unable to create Windows USB stick to boot. Console error message says "5/31/16 12:02:09.133 PM Boot Camp Assistant[1246]: Disk 2 is not SATA or PCI. ". And boot camp shows an error that says "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.".
I have "refind" running on this machine, and have a Ubuntu partition that I am able to boot to and use. But I'm currently stuck on windows installation.
