Win8 install
Posted: Wed Nov 07, 2012 4:55 pm
Hello,
Have an AMD system with an ssd containing windows7 and a hd with another win7 and several storage partitions.
I run bibm from a usb stick.
Attempting to install windows8 to its own partition on the hd does not work for me.
Boot ok into the windows install till i get to the partition screen wich allows choosing the installation partition.
I choose that partition, which is the one i created in bibm, click next and i get; " Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing partition".
In windows disk management this new partition is fully recognized. I can read and write to it.
Thinking this might be a windows8 peculiarity i tried to install windows7 with the same results.
Yes, i have SWAP checked for boot partitions on the hd. ssd is the first drive in bibm.
Should i try it by unplugging the ssd? How do i deal with the SWAP in this case?
Should i put bibm on a partition of one of the drives instead usb?
Any thoughts would be appreciated
