Forcing the computer to restart would show the Windows logo and go straight back to the black screen situation.Ī. Issue: The installation went smoothly until my computer rebooted the first time and the 'Peripherals preparation' step (sorry about the approximate translation, I'm used to the French version of it) got stuck at 10% and was brutally followed by a black screen. I was then able to start Windows installation by formatting the partition I wanted to allot it to through the Windows installation process. The solution I found was to format the partition created by the Boot Camp utility as 'Free space'.Ĭ. I searched the Internet about the error message about the MBR partition table.ī. I still tried to boot on the USB drive, which I was able to, but when installing Windows, I was unable to format the partition created by the Boot Camp utility as it contained a 'MBR partition table' instead of a GPT.Ī. Issue: Upon rebooting, I got the 'No bootable device found' error message. Use the Boot Camp utility to create a bootable USB drive, download the latest Boot Camp drivers and partition my SSD drive. Download the ISO from Microsoft (We are a Microsoft Partner and have access to internal use licences of Windows 8.1).ī. I have been struggling to install Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit version through Boot Camp on my MacBook Air 13 inch mid-2012 for a few days and I have finally decided to give up and write this thread to see if anyone has encountered the same problems as I have and if they've found a solution.Ī.
