How to install Win 8.1 on my Mac (Bootcamp)

Hi,
Im using an iMac (2011) and I want to install Win8.1 on it via Bootcamp (Since Win7 is not running due to a bug I can not fix)
I have an built-in DVD-drive, obviously, but I dont have a Win8-DVD
Instead, I have an huge iso-image of Win8.1 .
Is there a way to install it from this image using an external flash-Drive or smth?
If have an Mac-book air too, and unlike my iMac, it displays me an third "create an Windows-flash-drive-installer"-option in the Boot-Camp-Program.
(Smth like that, Im not using it in English)
Can I use this option to create a flash-Drive to install it on my older iMac then?
Or do I have to burn the iso-image an a DVD to have it working.
And if I have to, is there anything I should know about burning an image on a DVD?
Thanks a lot
Victor

solved

    I thought that installation through Boot Camp required, without hacks, a physical optical disc to install Boot Camp? I don't use it any longer since I run XP under Parallels, but I would swear that you have to use a disc, and not a USB thumb drive, to install Windows?
    Maybe some real Boot Campers will visit this thread...

    If you have the Media you can use it to create a bootable USB key via boot camp assistant.
    It will create the usb and has the option of pre-downlading the drivers and bootcamp utilities for windows.
    It is pretty much all automated and quite simple.

  • How to install Windows XP in parallel with Mac OS on a Macbook?

    Can anyone tell me how to install Windows XP in parallel with Mac OS on a Macbook?
    If I divide the hard drive into 2 patritions and install Win XP & Mac OS on each patrition, is it ok?

    I don't think he meant "Parallels", I think he just meant "parallel", with a little 'p'.
    There are three options for running Windows software on an Intel-based Mac:
    Virtualization: you can install software such as Parallels or VMWare (along with a licensed copy of Windows) which will emulate the environment necessary to run Windows software. Performance is significantly degraded, but you can work with both Windows and Mac software simultaneously.
    Dual boot: You can use Apple's Bootcamp to partition your drive and create a CD of Windows drivers for your devices, so that you can then install Windows on one partition of your drive. Your Windows software will run just as it does on any other Windows PC, but you have to reboot to switch between Windows and OS X.
    Crossover: Crossover is a product that allows you to run Windows programs in OS X without installing Windows. Not all Windows software will work with Crossover though.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can install Windows from a USB drive in one of these computers:
    - MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    - Mac mini (Mid 2010 and newer).
    - MacBook Air.
    - iMac (Late 2012).
    If you don't have any of these Macs, you can't install Windows through a USB drive. Instead, buy Windows on a DVD. Follow Apple's steps > http://support.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1519/en_US/Boot_Camp_Install-Setup_10.6. pdf

  • Does anyone know how I install Microsoft office onto an I Mac or if I even need it.

    Does anyone know how I install Microsoft office onto an I Mac or if I even need it.

    If you need to write or modify documents made with Word, Excel, or Powerpoint, then you need Office. Otherwise, you don't. If you already have it then installation just involves double-clicking on the Office Installer's icon.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • How to install Win XP on Equium P200

    Hi guys,
    I found a very usefull tutorial how to install windows xp onto Equium P200 laptop.
    Problem is that when I have done everything whats in that tutorial (used nlite, made xp install cd with sata drivers) Win Xp is showing error.
    When u boot from cd, and all the drivers are loaded it will show me a blue screen saying that the installation was stopped to prevent damage to my pc, and its saying that the error is in file pci.sys ...
    Any ides what it could be?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    Im not 100% sure why this error appears but Ive got one idea.
    Possibly the installed Intel Matrix Storage Manger doesnt support the right chipset.
    Ive tow different Intel Matrix Storage Manger versions and both versions support different chipsets.
    Fact is that different Equium P200 series exist which needs different drivers.
    I think you should visit the Toshiba European driver page and should choose the right notebook series! Please compare the series number which can be found at the bottom of the unit!!!
    Then try the installation again!

  • How to instal Win 7 on Satellite P300?

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite P300. When I bought it I had on it Vista family premium. Now I wanted to install Win 7.
    I have the DVD of Win 7 professional but when I want to boot from the win 7 DVD it wouldnt accept and the pc boot always from the hard disk even when I changed it on the BIOS like it doesnt recognise it. I tried with other Win 7 DVD to format the hard disk and install the win 7 like the normal procedure but Toshiba doesnt recognise any Win 7 DVD, it recognise only its original system DVD (the hddrecovery files which combines the win vista and all Toshiba laptop drivers as u know).
    So how to do to format the pc and install Win 7 (if u run the setup of win 7 from the computer I can install Win 7 but I cant format the pc and I keep always the old files and I dont like) so please help me if you have a solution for that thank you!!

    yes i have the original microsoft win 7 dvd,but when i choose from bios to boot from the dvd to start format the hard disk and then instal win 7 like the ordinary procedure the system doesnt recognise any win 7 dvd ( i tried with other dvd ) and start directly from the hard disk,but for example if i try with a win xp dvd ,then it work and the system recognise the dvd and boot from it ans start formating etc..it happens only with win 7 dvd ,so what to do?
