[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1549579, member: 46727"] Your 2012 Retina MacBook Pro does not have an internal optical drive so you can forget about trying to install from a disk. The drivers for the external drive are not loaded until Windows 8.1 is up and running. And as Harry pointed out, you will need a full install version of Windows 8.1 not an upgrade, unless you already had Windows 8 installed first. With a full version of Windows 8 or 8.1, the bootable USB you created should work just like a DVD would (if you had an internal drive). [/QUOTE]
