Important Tip - When installing Windows 8, select the “Custom install” option, then the
partition that says BOOTCAMP, and reformat it. You will see that option after clicking
the Advanced option. The first time I tried to install Windows 8 on my Mac mini, I re-
formatted the partition. I got an error that Windows couldn't install because of a Boot
Loader problem. I simply restarted the computer, held down option, which brings up the
boot drive selection menu, and picked the USB stick with the installer. Then I went back
to the custom installation option and tried again. Everything worked. There are lots of re-
sources online for how to do this, so if you run into a problem, it shouldn't be too difficult
to find a solution.
Once you have Windows 8 installed, you are going to want to install the Mac drivers.
Chances are pretty good that you probably don't have access to WiFi or native resolution. If
you remember back to the WindowsSupport folder the BootCamp installer created, you want
to make sure that is handy. If you open it up in Windows, you will see all the drivers, a guide,
and the setup installer (
