    Can I install the Windows 8 Beta on a Bootcamp partition?
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/iso
    If so, how would I go about doing this? The download is for an iso.

    From your link.
    An ISO image must be converted into installation media stored on a DVD or a USB flash drive. Instructions are provided on this page.

    When all else fails, read the instructions.

    Thanks, I had a lot of trouble with the Windows 7 beta and various bits of hardware not working (e.g. Usb slots, DVD drive, mouse). I'll give this one a try and see how it goes.

    I really wouldn't expect an early prerelease version of a new OS to offer any better support.

    I have a 2006-era(?) iMac, and I hadn't any problems with installing Windows 8 on it. So you might have luck. :)
