How To Dual Boot On OSX Partition (Windows 8) Getting Error

Hey guy im trying to dual boot on my OSX hard drive. Im doing the same steps I did on windows 7. But now im using Windows 8 when I try to install on the Partiton I made I get a error. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Heres some more info

So I am fairly new to the dual boot thing but I have done once before successfully. I am trying to dual boot my hackintosh's 1 Tb HD with windows 8. And I'm getting this pesky error all my specs are on the left of my profile including UEFI Bios. If someone can pull this off and help me get this working I will be really surprised. Any help would be appreciated. I have included a screen shot.

What media is your Win8 on? Did you buy the DVD or download and burn on DVD or are you installing from the Win8 files on a USB?

I purchased a key and burned the iso to a disc.
 
Hey,
Trying to do the same and I get the same error. Did you find a solution?

Thanks,

What is the error or problem you are having?
 
I just attached screen shots.

You must have done a copy/paste on the pics - too small to read and can't pull them up to increase size.

When attaching pics, scroll down from the post box where you are typing to the attachments section and click manage attachments.
A screen will come up with a green + Add Files in the upper right corner. Click on Add Files and another screen appears with a select files button at bottom center - click on it. Now a finder/Win Explorer window comes up. Just navigate to your pics, hilite them as if you were going to copy them and click open.
It goes back to the previous screen, but 2 more buttons are added - Upload Files and Clear List. Click on upload files.
When your files finish uploading, that screen disappears and the original uploader manager screen comes to front and your pics will appear in the bottom pane of the first screen. Make sure the check mark in the bottom right of the pic you want to add to your post is checked and click on the Insert Inline button on the bottom right, then click on done.
