Here is the story.
My girlfriend and I are both in school, she was in need of a computer so she when head and bought a mac, even after I attempted to stop her. She received it a few days ago and tried it out. Truth be told she hates OS X. She wants me to sell it. I told her that Mac's can also run Windows on them and to give it a try after I format it for her. I started with formatting a partition for the hard drive and then went out and purchased a Windows 8.1 Key. Grabbed my self a USB formatted it and installed the Windows.iso to it. I was planning on using the USB as a boot drive and then installing Windows directly onto this Mac. .. But NO .. Apple does not let anyone use USB boot drives. So I found out that I will need to install Windows directly through Apples "Superdrive". Thankfully her computer came with one.
I went out and bought a couple DVD-WR, these failed to format correctly. So I got some trusty DVD-R, which still seem to be giving me trouble. The Windows.iso file is 3.3GB, and the DVD-R supports upto 4.7GB. Even with this, I am still getting error messages regarding the iso file being to big to burn onto the disks.
Blahh anyways is there anything I can do, or should I go an buy a Windows 8 install CD and do it the old fashion way?
