#RETINA 2014 MACBOOK PRO INSTALL#

I was forced to TOTALLY wipe the drive, and I am not sitting here looking at a screen telling me that in 4 hours the mac will have downloaded and installed Mavericks, and I will hopefully be back where I started a day ago.

The main one deletes, and the little one wont.

So I go into mac to delete these two partitions.

This resulted in windows making 2 partitions (so far so good) and getting all the way to the end before letting me know that I am right back to trial 1 and it cannot update the boot configuration.

delete partition leaving blank space, boot in efi, and then allow windows to make the partition.

Winblows cannot install because of the GPT setup.

booting again and trying to format the partition with winblows.This resulted in a near perfect installation, followed by a notification that the boot configuration could not be updated. Currently, I am sitting here watching my mac reinstall Mavericks after being forced to wipe the entire drive due to incompatibility bullpoop. When I purchased this computer I did so because I was reassured that windows would run well in a dual boot.ДҐ hours of my time has been wasted trying to make that a reality. I purchased this brand new macbook with the understanding that I would have to install winblows on it, and with the understanding that I would spend about half of my time there. Hopefully that will someday change, but for now I have to put up with it. Software for engineering is developed for winblows. It is a sad world that we live in, and there is little I can do to change it, but as of right now, Microshaft owns the corporate world. Except that apple needs to get their $h1t together on this bootcamp crap. The question part: Has anyone successfully installed windows 8.1 in bootcamp on a mid2014 Macbook pro? Okay, so this is part question and part rant.
