You might consider trying one of my posted answers. The answers I posted here and here were tested for Windows 7 and/or Windows 10, but not for Windows 8 or Windows 8.1. The procedure you used might work provided a BIOS booting operating system was previous installed on your Mac.

I entered the following series of commands: sudo chown $USER /dev/disk0s4 I had created a WINDOWS partition, identified as disk0s4 when using diskutil list.

Here's the guide for reference: Is it possible to Bootcamp Windows 8.1 using USB on Late 2011 MBP? I've been following a guide posted on this site that uses VirtualBox to install Windows without the need for a USB drive or even a DVD.
