I tried to use bootcamp to install windows 8 on my mac (obviously the free version that windows released.) Well, I tried several things first, the first thing I did was made a disc with the iso on it, however, bootcamp couldn't find it, so then I googled around some, and found that it works if you have an img for boot purposes. So I used the terminal to convert it from an iso to an img. Then I put that image on a dvd+r disc, bootcamp recognized it, and let me partition windows onto the machine. The problem is: When It automatically restarted, it went to the No bootable device screen, where it says to insert the boot drive and press any key. I am currently trying to re-partition and re-try using the same disc (I know how to get out of the error screen, alt/option at start.)

Where did I go wrong? How should I fix it so it doesn't do that again?
