Your New Partitions Are Ready

Using Boot Camp Assistant to Partition Your Mac’s Hard Drive

Once the partitioning is completed, you can either quit or start the Windows installation process.

When Boot Camp Assistant finishes partitioning your hard drive, the Mac partition will have the same name as the original unpartitioned hard drive; the Windows partition will be called BOOTCAMP.

At this point, you can quit Boot Camp Assistant or click the 'Start Installation' button, and follow the onscreen instructions to install Windows on the BOOTCAMP partition.
