How do i install Windows on SSD with a Fusion Drive?

Hello everyone,
i currently have a perfectly working iMac late 2013 with 1TB Fusion Drive.
I would like to install Windows INSIDE A SSD PARTITION.
Classic bootcamp will store Windows inside the mechanical hd and this slows things...
How do i put windows inside the SSD? Does anyone have a step by step tutorial?
Thanks.

What is the purpose of this?
I have my drive formatted case sensitive on purpose for more security and stability.
Why on earth would y'all choose to do this?

  • Install Windows on iMac with no DVD drive

    I have a modified iMac.  It has a solid state drive in leui of the superdrive.   The SSD is a OWC drive.
    How can I install Windows?   I have tried modifying plist files, and kexts to allow me to use my MBA's USB superdrive, with no luck.    I have also modified the bootcamp assistant to allow me to create a Windows 7 USB Installer from an ISO.   However, when I initiate the installation, the computer restarts, and I get an error "No bootable device -- insert boot disc and press any key"  I get this even though I created an installer with the BC assistant.  I've tried doing this with thumb drives and external USB drives.
    Can anybody help me out with a method of getting Windows installed?  My computer is a 27" 2011 iMac.  I cannot put the DVD drive back in because not only was it broken, but also because I then wouldn't be able to install Windows on the SSD. 
    Thanks.

    You might have better li=uck of an answer if you post over in the Boot Camp forum where the Windows gurus hang out.

  • How do I install windows xp on a 2TB external drive osx 10.6.8?

    How do I -OR- CAN I
    Install Windows XP on a 2TB external drive OSX 10.6.8? 
    I WILL get another 2TB to back up to 1st!
    Should I start over with the New 2TB Drive and put the XP & OSX partitions on it 1st?
    BTW... Anyone have an idea where I should send a WindowsXP drive that has the click of death syndrome to get the data off it?
    Thanx Y'All
    OKMatthew

    Microsoft doesn't allow users to install Windows on an external drive, so you can't do it. Instead, install Windows in the internal hard drive through Boot Camp.
    Respecting to your second problem, there are companies that recovers data from your hard drive, so you may want to contact with them

  • How do I install windows on SSD and use HDD as data + program storage?

    I just bought a 240 gb SSD drive, it's installed on my X220t laptop and now I'm about to install windows onto it. Before I do that, how do I make sure that I clean install windows 7 on my SSD drive, and have my current drive set as a backup drive for data/programs that I don't use much? I need to keep the data that's on the HDD right now, can I transfer data between the drives?

    yes download the ISO

  • How do I install windows 8 pro with osx 10.9 Mavericks?, How do I install windows 8 pro with osx 10.9 Mavericks?

    Hello everyone I just purchased a brand new mac and I am trying to install windows 8 pro using bootcamp assistant. I get through almost the entire install when i get an error message that says "installation cannot proceed files missing" something like that...
    my windows 8 pro is brand new and I downloaded osx mavericks from the app store has anyone else had this problem can anyone help me????!?!?

    Hi. Because both Mavericks and Windows 8 are still new, they may not be free of error. Apple needs more time to perform more tests to ensure that these two different OS's will work properly without getting in conflicts. If it's posdible, I highly recommand you to downgrade back to Lion or Mountain Lion and install Windows 7 (if you have a copy of it). In my experience, all advises from Genius Bar members and computer articles confirm that  Windows 7 will work on Macs with Lion OS. It should also work on Mountain Lion. Besides Boot Camp, you could try to virtualize Windows OS and its applications by using VirtualBox, CrossOver and other VMs. I already have an Oracle VirtualBox but I would like to try Boot Camp since it allows me to enjoy almost all Windows features that may be limited in VMs.

    personal informations removed for your own security

    padman215, welcome to the forum,
    you need to boot from the Rescue and Recovery cd and select to recover the system and then to recover to factory state. It will then eventually ask for the other discs.
    Please be sure that you read the messages carefully; if it asks for a supplementary disc, (which you don't seem to have), you need to click on "no" should it ask for one - this throws alot of people.
    Happy installing

  • Windows 8.1 on 3TB Fusion drive

    Hello,
    i want to install Windows 8.1 on 3TB Fusion drive iMac 27 Late 2013. I intended once but have only problems. I have a 64 bit version of Windows 8.1 on a USB 2.0 Stick and run Bootcamp. At the weekend I want to intend one more time, after a crash of the Fusion Drive and reinstall of Yosemite, but my question is if it will work on my system? I have found some comments on the web that its very difficult to install Windows 8.1 on a 3TB Fusion Drive.
    You have some suggestions I have to do?
    This time I will reconnect all USB devices and put only the USB Flash direct into the Mac.

  • How to install Windows 8.1 with Windows 8 Product key?

    I have purchased Upgrade pack from Windows 7 to Windows 8. I have also Updated the OS to windows 8.1 through Store. How to install Windows 8.1 with Windows 8 Product key?

    The download link for the Windows 8.1 installer at the Upgrade with Product Key Only does not accept a Windows 8.0 product key. I ended up using the trick suggested by Andre Ziegler in this thread to obtain the 8.1 download independent of the Windows
    Store, but I haven't yet checked if the 8.0 key works from 8.1 Setup.
    I do IT for a living but I have plenty of family members that bring their notebook PCs to me and ask me to do the heavy lifting, and I'd rather not re-download the same 3.6 GB every single time someone tells me to fix their PC. I also want to be able to
    re-install 8.1 from the source media in case of a catastrophic hard disk failure and I have to replace the disk.
    As an aside, tools that retrieve product keys for installed products end up retrieving the 8.0 product key from an 8.1 install that was upgraded via the Store.  It kind-of makes sense that an 8.0 key could work to install 8.1 because 8.1 is supposed
    to be a free upgrade for licensed 8.0 users, but this doesn't seem to work until after 8.1 is successfully installed via some trickery and the user supplies the 8.0 key to activate it.

    How do I install Windows XP with boot camp assistant, on my IMac?

    Lion cannot BootCamp XP.
    You can install XP under virtual machine software (Parallels, VM Fusion, VirtualBox).
    And Windows 7 Pro has XP mode.  XP will requires probably days of pathing after install and will be completely unsupported by MS within 1 year, but Windows 7 Pro still has great support from MS.
