Hey I am having and have had sooooo much trouble with using my Mac for the past six months.

Anyways, I recently upgraded to SL and I wanted to know how I could use bootcamp to download windows 8. I have a 16GB USB. I have the 64 bit iso downloaded. That's pretty much it.
Any help will make me happy.


I love you all!

BTW My iMac is a 20 inch April 2008 model with a black back.

If you care to elaborate, we can probably help.

EDIT: nevermind... I see you pirated it (it being Snow Leopard). No wonder you are having issues.

EDIT: redacting my link.

What exactly did you download? The Windows 8 preview or something else?

Yep, thats right. SL is working just fine. Basically I don't know how I should go about using bootcamp to create a place for windows 8.

I am on step 1 :S
