I would like to install WIn 8.1 on my Mac Mini. Unfortunetely the device can`t find the OSX Partition. Maybe I do someting wrong. How can I create the OSX Partition. I can boot with Win8.1 but can`t install BootCamp to load the Drivers.
Thanks for your help
Hope I wrote it clearly

Are you following these instructions?
Use Windows 8.1 on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support
What do you mean by "device" in "device can`t find the OSX Partition"?
What model Mini?
I`ll try
thanks for your qick answer.
Hello Illaass
I can`t boot whit osx anymore. So in this case I can`t update to BootCamp. But I can Start WIn 8.1. So what I can do?
What model Mini?
Can you boot to Recovery and reinstall OSX?
MacBook Pro
whit the start option cmd + r i get the info to try rebuilt over the Internet. Unfortunetelly the System could`t find the os patition. :-(
Then from Recovery go to Disk Utility. If the drive shows then format and install OSX.
If it does not show then either the drive failed or the ribbon cable failed.
How get I to this menue?
To start your computer from Recovery, restart your Mac and hold down the Command and R keys at startup.
Hold these keys until the Apple logo appears. After your computer finishes starting up, you should see a desktop with an OS X menu bar and an OS X Utilities window with the options listed above. If you see a login window or your own desktop instead of the Utilities window, it's possible that you didn't press Command-R early enough. Restart your computer and try again.
Choose the option you want to use from the Utilities window or the Utilities menu.
I can see only the turning world "resetting over the Internet" Do I do something wrong?
That typically means it can't connect to the internet. Try using an Ethernet cable to connect to internet.
Not all wifi security is supported by internet Recovery see:
there is no Ethernet Interface :-(
Then see the article and make sure the security y are using on your router is supported.
Do other devices connect to the internet now?
I`m now in the partitionmanager Screen
sorry ist in german
when I press check volume I get the message, there is no EFI Systempartition on it. When you want to start your mac from this Partition make a backup and create a partition
yes this is an open Network without rules
Does the disk show?
Internet recovery can take awhile like you experienced, especially with a wifi connection.
no boot
