Windows 8 and Thunderbolt drivers

[fluidphreak]

I've successfully installed Windows 8 on my late 2012 iMac 27" with Boot Camp. Now I'm trying to get a Magma Expressbox 3T working, but it just isn't recognized by Windows 8. Device Manager doesn't show anything Thunderbolt-related.

I think I'm missing some drivers, but does anyone know which drivers (possibly from Intel) I would need to install? Has anyone got this (or other Thunderbolt hardware) to work with Windows 8 and Boot Camp?

Thanks!

Nevermind, I ran the hardware troubleshooter and it detected the Thunderbolt port and Magma box.

Could you tell me how you installed Windows 8? As there is no DVD drive on the new 2012 iMac... did you use an external DVD drive? I hear that USB sticks are not recommended for Win 8 installations...

I just used the Boot Camp Assistant to make a Windows 8 USB stick. I read about possible problems too, but Windows 8 is working flawlessly for me so far...

I've had a nightmare trying to get Win8 installed.. What version of Bootcamp are you using? I don't get the option to create a bootable USB.

Yeah, those people are idiots.

I just used the Boot Camp Assistant with Mountain Lion. Make sure to insert an empty USB stick and have an ISO of the Windows 8 disk ready.

Tuve una pesadilla al intentar instalar Win8. ¿Qué versión de Bootcamp estás usando? No tengo la opción de crear un USB de arranque.

hola mira descargas windows 8.1 de la pagina oficial.64bits
editas info.plist )boton derecho en bootcamp,content copia el info plist y pegas copia escritorio para editarlo.lo abres y buscas un editor.

esto en el archivo de info.plist donde esta el <key>USBBootSupportedModels</key> borra el
"Pre" y luego en donde esta <key>PreWindows10OnlyModels</key> en la parte de abajo en el
array agrega el string correspondiente al modelo de tu MacBook, algo así como "<string>MacBookProX,X</string>"
por última firma el archivo usando terminal mediante el comando


sudo codesign -fs - /Aplicaciones/Utilidades/Boot\ Camp\ Assistant.app --deep

y wuacala te aparecera el usb.)hay varios videos en youtube que te explican como hacerlo)
