Nov 6, 2015 2:37 PM in response to lisa.flowers12by Loner T,Your BCA should have only two options, Download Software and Install (or Remove) Windows? If you check Download... you need to use a USB, which will be erased/formatted as FAT and BC Drivers will be downloaded to it. To see the last option enabled, you need to a have a physical DVD in your Optical drive.
If you have an ISO, please use Disk Utility (Yosemite): Burn a disk image to a CD or DVD .
The error is because the Installer (from the USB) is starting EFI Boot, but BCA has a created a Hybrid MBR for Windows as a 2011 requires it.
What version of Windows are you trying to install?

Nov 6, 2015 2:56 PM in response to lisa.flowers12by Loner T,You Mac does not support W10 - Use Windows 10 on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support . The only path to get to W10 is using a W7/W8.1 installation and upgrade. This also fraught with errors, because there are no drivers for your Mac on W10. Generic drivers can be used, but you will run into issues.
You have try the W7/W8.1 -> W10 method, provided you have licenses. Once, you upgrade, you can do a clean install, but you will see similar issues. Many have installed W10 on unsupported systems, and have been successful, with some idiosyncrasies .
