Q: Boot Camp to install windows, unable to select the checkbox

Hello,

 

I recently purchased windows 8 64bit on a dvd and I'm trying to install it using Boot Camp Assistance on my Macbook Pro (early 2011). However, the second option is greyed out and I cannot select it.

I already downloaded the latest support software and I'm not sure why I'm unable to select the second option "Install or remove Windows 7 or later version"

    The Media should be readable by the Mac. Please also check Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support on what Windows versions are supported on your specific Mac. It should support W7 and W8 64-bit.

    Can you post the output of the following commands from OSX Terminal? For "sudo "commands, enter your password, which will not be echoed back to you.

     

    diskutil list

    diskutil cs list

    sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0

    sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
