So, I have a MacBook Pro 2012 edition and I want to install Windows 8 in pure UEFI mode and not hybrid GPT/MBR (since that is causing problems for me with Linux installations). The Windows 8 usb drive boots properly into the installer and everything is fine, however, during the installation, it just abruptly restarts and after that it shows a BSOD and restarts again. After that, at every restart it launches only into Windows 8 installation and keeps on displaying an alert box saying `Windows restarted unexpectedly...`.

I CANNOT boot into Mac or anything at all at this point. It will keep on booting into nothing but the Windows 8 installation. I have searched for solutions all across the internet, but absolutely nobody seems to have this problem. Has anyone faced this situation before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
