1. Please try SMC Reset and NVRAM Reset
     a. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
     b. How to Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support
     c. Try BC Installation (last option in BC Assistant).
2. If these do not work, use BC Assistant and check what the last option shows. 'Install' or 'Remove'. If 'Remove' then use BCA to remove the partition and cleanup and start over. Do not use any other tool to remove BC Partition.

If you run into issues, please post back.

TThank you for you help! I now have windows 8 running but it had lost the driver to connect to wifi... When I am on windows it doesn't even show amy connections being available.

Please use System requirements to install Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp - Apple Support and download appropriate drivers for your specific Mac model/year and Boot Camp: Install or repair Boot Camp drivers.

Check in Device Manager for any devices which have a yellow triangle and an exclamation mark.
