[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1621704, member: 46727"] You obviously ignored the Boot Camp instructions. As Harry stated, since your iMac has an optical drive you should be installing using a Windows 8 DVD. The BC instructions also caution about making a backup before attempting to install Windows via BC. Also, your Macintosh HD will not boot if you changed it to GPT as it has to be EFI. I really don't know how you're going to recover your data. I don't believe an OS X data recovery program can read a GPT partition in order to recover files. Without a backup you may be out of luck.
