Install Windows (continued)
As part of the installation process, you must format the partition that Boot Camp Assistant
created. You need to do this because Boot Camp Assistant originally formats the partition us-
ing the FAT32 file system, but you cannot install Windows 7 or Windows 8 on a FAT32 parti-
tion. Instead, Windows 7 and Windows 8 require a partition that uses the NTFS file system.
When you format the partition during the installation, it automatically changes the partition
from FAT32 to NTFS.
