Boot Camp can not install Windows because of the formatting?
I have a 2012 MacBook Pro (500 GB to 8 GB memory storage) with the OS X 10.11.3. I try to install Windows 8 Pro (64-bit) using Boot Camp. When I restart my computer after creating the partition, I have two USB ins journal. They say Windows and the other says Boot EFI. When I click on the option of Windows, I am taken to a screen that says that there is no bootable disk and restart with an inserted. When I click on Boot EFI, I did get into the Windows partition and can start set up for installation, but when I get to the stage where it asks me to install Windows, none of the listed drives are able to have Windows installed. I have a list of 4 disks, all drive 0 and then partition 1,2,3,4 respectively. 4 is the one that is 46.6 GB (I created Windows to be 50 GB), so I guess it's that I need to be installed in. However, when I click on any of the partitions, this message appears: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is a MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows cannot be installed to GPT disks. Windows cannot be installed to this disk. Hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu. "After talking with the Apple support (who told me it was a matter of putting in the form any and to talk to the Windows how do I reformat) and Windows support (who took the opportunity to remind me why I had stopped using them in the first place), I think I have a better idea of what it means , but I have no idea what to do about this. Anyone have an idea how I can fix?
You have two choices.
1. use GPT Fdisk to delete the MBR and continue boot EFI. Later, it is problematic when you install the drivers for the Apple hardware.
2 use a USB2 flash drive and let BCA create setup of USB and partition your drive. No matter what Manual partitioning or manipulate the installer USB can cause problems.

can we install windows 2000 on the i3 system
Depends on if you can get the drivers for your Windows 2000-compatible hardware; you need to verify that hardware manufacturers laicists site to check the drivers. Most of the hardware manufacturers are not even the creation of drivers for Windows XP that is newer than Windows 2000.
Check out the thread below (specifically the post from Andre Da Costa) from earlier today about the installation of Windows 2000 as a virtual machine.

Boot Camp will not install on Windows 10 (end of 2015 imac)
Bought an imac 27 "5K retina, end of 2015
1 TB - (not the Fusion drive)
OS X El Capitan
All applications are updated on both OSX
Version of Windows 10 Education loaded 64 bit ISO file (3 times 2 of 1 Flash of office)
After loading Windows 10 - installation of Boot Camp program starts - but after a few minutes, I get a little window with a red X
The installation stops (I tried the OK TWO hit and hit X to close small, then the windows in the "Installation")
But no Boot Camp file is installed (worked with Apple Care - but they don't have any other suggestions.)
How can I get the Boot Camp assistant on the Windows partition? I can't find Boot Camp 6 downloads anywhere.
I don't have files from Boot Camp on side Windows to run (or disk Flash Drive)
Windows runs and work THOUGH - I have questions - no sound, the mouse does not scroll, have not spent a lot of time to discover other issues.
Another thing to NOTE - on the side of OS x with Boot Camp Assistant - I don't get always the choice to select tasks - that is not available - my boot camp assistant didn't need to start from a flashdrive (external drive) it will be the start of a download of office. I thought to use Boot Camp Assistant to load the ISO on the flash drive - but I do not get this option (select tasks).
Any help is appreciated - is there an external way to download Boot Camp 6?
1. What is your Windows language setting?
2. you can get the drivers BC6 W10 from Apple.

Boot camp does not start windows 7 alley
I have the following Setup: Windows 7, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 and Boot Camp.
The only thing I did was Boot Camp Manager to select Mac Windows as boot drive (at the time there was only 1 icon visible in the window, not the 2 that you expect!) (1 for windows and 1 for OS X).
After the start of Mac I can't get back into Windows more. Now the ALT/Option key does not work, I do not receive the start of disk icons, he begins just to Mac every time. Configuration screen/boot that Mac disks is also visible.
But if I run the Boot Camp Assistant, it gives me the opportunity to remove from Windows 7, it seems that Windows 7 is here!
Here is the output you'll probably ask, from the following commands:
