Cannot make my Bootcamp disk valid for W8 install after formating in win setup, what is wrong?
Also i dont get the option to choose partion size before BC boots the first time...
Mac Pro OSX 10.11.3 - Windows 8.1 on DVD
Mac Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
FINALLY!
I made it, found the correct driver, and now it works 😎
Thanks so much for your help and patience ➕➕
Which BC driver package did you use?
5621
A question, now since my BC disk is FAT32, will i run into the copy larger than 4gb sized files problem everytime?
Would Exfat be more troublesome to run with BC?
I have a 32gb usb stick with apps i want to install on windows, i formated it with Mac disk utility in exfat, but it wont read in windows.
Tried to format from windows, but then i only get a 200mb size option
1. Your BC/Windows disk should be NTFS.
2. exFAT will also work with BC.
3. Can you connect the USB stick and post a screen shot from Windows Disk Management?
Hey Loner,
Been scrolling through threads re: installing windows on a bootcamp drive with el capitan for hours now, with the same problems a lot of other people were running into. After trying numerous HDDs with numerous cables, the only way I could get it to work was a 8gb USB 2.0 flash drive, with the install built via windows, then bootcamp assistant with the bottom 2 options checked.
Not sure if this knowledge will help anyone else, but I hope it does.
That is the magic combination to open the door of the Bootcamp installation. Please remember to back up OS X, Windows and create a Windows System Restore point.
