[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1553208, member: 46727"] OK, I'm back and a Happy Thanksgiving to you! I read through the links you posted and I have to admit that I was not aware Windows 8 could boot from EFI since previous versions of Windows can not. After reading the instructions and going over them several times to make sure he had the terminology and procedure correct, I see no reason why you couldn't follow them and do the same as he did. Two things which are important: Make sure you download the Windows driver disk image from Apple. You may actually have to run the Boot Camp Assistant in order to do that but that's OK since after the download, you can cancel out of Boot Camp. Second, use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a clone of your hard drive and recovery partition to an external hard drive. If something goes wrong, you can always clone back and start over. I would be interested in hearing how things went. Post back and let us know. [/QUOTE]
