Mac 10.9 Mavericks install a little tricky this time

I tried to install Mavericks (MacOS 10.9), but it stopped because it could not create a Recovery Partition.

After some research,

• I installed Mavericks onto an external USB drive, 
• booted from that, 
• formatted the Mac HD partition, 
• installed to that and 
• Boom, I was done. 

Note any drive to be installed to needs to formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

Then I upgraded Windows on the Boot Camp partition to 8.1 but that went pretty smooth.
