MacBook Pro Mid 2012 Windows 8 install on SSD

Question

I am trying to install Windows 8, efi, on my SSD. I am getting the error code:

 0xC0000005 "Windows installation encountered an unexpected error. Verify that the installation sources are accesible, and restart the installation everytime" 

I have tried all the solutions on this thread: which is basically try formatting exfat, then installing; the setup stops at 89% in step2 and gives the above error. I also tried the procedure here: I get the error code above in step1 of the install.

Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry, I don't have a solution. I do have more questions.

You seem to be trying very hard to use the GUID partition table to boot Windows. Most Windows users just rely on the MBR in the hybrid partition table. Why do you feel you need to make the extra effort? What do you hope to gain?

Is your Mac a MacBookPro9,2 (13-inch), MacBook9,1 (15-inch) or MacBookPro10,1 (Retina)?

Do know if your firmware is up to date? See EFI and SMC firmware updates for Intel-based Macs.

I assume you are booting from a flash drive to install windows. How did you create the flash drive? Did you need to modify the Boot Camp Assistant?

Could you post the output from the following commands? The commands do not alter anything.

sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
sudo fdisk /dev/disk1

Which Windows: 8 or 8.1? 64 bit or 32 bit? Full or upgrade version?

OS X is Yosemite?

You are using Core Storage. Would you be opposed to not using it. I don't know what good Core Storage is unless you have a Fusion Drive.

Have you configured the OS X Disk Utility application to display hidden partitions? If not, see View & Mount Hidden Partitions in Mac OS X. I do not want you to mount the hidden partitions, just make them visible.

You say you want to install on disk 0. You seem to have collected some partitions on disk 1. Do you need help removing them?

Finally, you may discover you can not install Windows because you removed the DVD drive.
