I have a fuly updated MacBook Pro With an Intel CPU Late 2011 model, running the updated Mountain Lion OS, with 8 gb memory installed.
I also have a x'mas gifted WIn 8 Pro to install, hopefully via bootcamp.
I cant find much positive assistance via research, to proceed yet.
Can I use the Win 7 Boot camp assistant to install Win 8?
Any help would be appreciated.

At the moment, Boot Camp isn't compatible with Windows 8, so don't install it yet. Instead, install Windows 7 on Boot Camp.
Another option is to install Windows 8 on a virtual machine, using Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox

Windows 8 is not yet fully supported under Bootcamp. Search these Communities and you will find a lot of discussion on this topic.
Consider either Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion.
Thanks to both mende 1 and Chamar,
Seems I should have looked up this forum before I uninstalled "Parallel 7", but that's fate for you!
Luckily everything is backed up, so will do a restore, update to Parra 8 , and try from there.
I bet that as soon as I get this sorted APPLE will come out with an updated WIN 8 compatable Bootcamp.
Fate and Nature will always retain the upper hand!
Thanks again boys.
You are welcome
Windows 8 works fine on my Mid 2012 MBP with Win7's drivers. However I suggest you wait for some time as OS X 10.8.3 supports Windows 8 and currently 11 betas have been released already. So, the public release should be imminent if you ask me
Further to my now resolved predicament.
I installed Parralells 8 , then added MS WIN 8 pro 64 bit as a virtual machine.
It works like a charm with 8 Gb of memory, and have had no problems as yet.
