Sep 22, 2016 6:50 PM in response to Loner Tby jswarb,Looks perfect! Last thing though, as long as I made the install disk, and it is inserted, when the computer restarts after bootcamp, it will boot into the disk? And it should format correctly without using gpt disk to change the settings in terminal? Just making sure...

Sep 22, 2016 6:57 PM in response to jswarbby Loner T,Remove the current EFI Windows installation so your disk can go back to a single partition and run BC Assistant, and look at the last option. It will be enabled once the installation DVD is recognized. Follow the prompts. This will also let you change the BC partition's size.
If you need to re-use the current partition, then you will need to use GPT Fdisk to create a Hybrid MBR so the Installer can see it and let you erase/re-format the partition. In this case, after the MBR is created, shutdown your Mac, Insert the DVD, boot and hold Alt/Option and choose the Windows icon (not EFI) and continue. This method does not allow partition size changes.
