End up it is now give me this prompt
'No bootable device--insert boot disk and press any key''

During the installation of windows, you are supposed to click on the BOOTCAMP partition and "format" before you can install. Now, your Apple machine is probably just trying to start up windows partition but failed as the windows was not able to complete installation.

Hold on to Option/Alt to see if you can see any startup device. OSX should still be there and go into in again and redo your bootcamp.

In the worst case situation, you might need to recover your OSX from the internet or USB device. But try the step above first and it should work. Report back in when you are stuck again or successfully installed it :)

Did you create the installer of Windows on a disk or USB thumbdrive using the ISO file? The ISO file needs to be created into a installer first before you can actually use it.
