Installing Windows 8 on OS X 10.8.3 (w Bootcamp 5.0.2)

I'm trying to install Windows 8 Pro 64-bit on my Macbook Pro (mid 2010), and kept getting stuck at "No boot device found...", does any of you have any idea on how to get this solved?

I've already created a bootable USB drive (Kingston DTGE9 16GB) using my Win8 desktop, and used the drive to do fresh installs on other machines and it works fine. But I can't get it to work on the Macbook Pro..

I also have an external dvd reader, which I connected to the Macbook Pro, and ML recognizes it, but during startup, it kept reaching that error message, so I still have not been able to do an install of Win8..

MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), Bootcamp

It won't work for the "trick" part of the install, but for installing windows 8 from a torrent, yes. As long as its a mountable .iso file: again, me as a software developer do not condone piracy, but to answer the question, yes it will work. Probably uses a kms license server hack. I'm all for "evaluating" under the pretenses, but as read - my wife left me.. Software sales support my kids. Keep the Internet free, evaluate, and if you like it, buy it. So again, yes it will work:

Sounds like a pirate copy to me, relentless will help you, I won't.
