Hi Diane, The last thread was correct that you need to bring up bootcamp assistant if you want to remove your copy of Windows off your computer or change the partition back to one single one. When I was going through this tedious process myself, I totally wiped my USB flash card clean and started over fresh before installing. At this point, I'm not sure if you have a physical disk or just an ISO. I had both, but my copy of Windows was Win 8.0. I thought I remembered that you said you have a key. Is that correct? There's something funky (to me) about the Microsoft disks because when I needed to call MS, they stated to me that they knew about this problem and if I wanted to give them 80 bucks they could fix it. In another call to MS, they wouldn't help because Win 8 was not installed on the computer. Oh by the way for Ron, did you make sure that you had the latest bootcamp drivers for your Mac? For what it's worth, my troubles occurred on a MBA 2013, running Mountain Lion. My friend who had no issues installing Win 8.1 was running Mavericks. That was the only difference when comparing the installation. Once you get over the hump of the installation, you will be happy you are using Windows in bootcamp. It's definitely the fastest PC I have ever owned. Keep the list posted on the progress of this.
