[QUOTE="Brews, post: 1637913, member: 248506"] Last week, I got a MacBook Pro and Windows 8.1. The Boot Camp process did not go smoothly. Apple Support was great, but they didn't know the answer to my issue for some time. Eventually, they determined that Boot Camp partitioning can't work if the Hard Drive has Firevault encryption enabled. So, don't try it unless you don't have Firevault enabled! Especially if you have a new MacBook (default for MacBook) but obviously for any Mac, you should format the HD and start over, if you have enabled Firevault. If you haven't touched a thing, then read the dialog boxes carefully when installing OS-X and uncheck Firevault. HTH [/QUOTE]
