I am trying to install Windows 8 on my myHack Mavericks machine, I recently had to format the system and am looking to get it back up and running correctly.


I have Mavericks installed on one SSD and I want to put Win8 on the second drive. However, I keep getting a We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup log files' error when trying to select the drive to install it on.


I tried to use DISKPART on it, but it is still showing the same error after running through this recommended proceedure (http://blogs.technet.com/b/asiasupp/archive/2012/03/06/error-quot-we-couldn-t-create-a-new-partition-or-locate-an-existing-one-for-more-information-see-the-setup-log-files-quot-when-you-try-to-install-windows-8-cp.aspx)


Anyone have any idea what would cause this issue? My next step is to again wipe both OSes and then start over again. Please help if you can!
