Windows 8 Enterprise Help

Hi im new here and I am running 32bit version of windows 7 Home Premium. Its on an older computer with 512mb ram and a Pentium 4 2.4 Ghz Processor. Anyway When I run Windows 8 installer from windows 7 it takes me to setup screen like normal. It says windows is copying files. It goes to 100% then when it goes to expand the files it goes to a certain percentage around 10% then reboots. ok thats fine. But then I get an error when it tries to boot back into the windows setup I get error 0x0000005d and now I have 2 partitions Windows 8 setup and Window 7. Is there an alternative way of getting it to install because I have been installing windows like this when I went from XP to Vista Home Basic and vista to Windows 7 Home Premium.

Welcome to the forum, BloatedDuck. (Nice handle!)

Is it 32 bit you're loading?

Yes its 32bit and I'll check out that link

Please post back your results.

OK so I tried but same results. but I found the iso for windows 8 consumer preview after a long internet search and download as shown in the tutorial and its installing fine. Release preview doesnt work because I dont have the nx feature Thanks I really wanted to try windows 8 and I guess my computer only likes the consumer preview. I'll see what happen in October when Microsoft releases Windows 8 not professional or enterprise and I'll buy that if it doesn't work I'll give it to my cousin. Thanks for the link.

Sorry, but I'm thinking that just 512 MB of RAM will not do.
Can you add more physical RAM onto the systemboard?

I looked on amazon and found ram for my computer. Its only 13.00 I may have to buy it even though I hate purchasing stuff online. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000GJWF5I I really did not want to upgrade my hardware much but if I want the Final version of windows 8 im gonna have to. I did a 80GB Hard Drive Upgrade almost 2 years ago so I can use windows 7 with more then 18 GB left Because Dell shipped this with a 40GB hard Drive. Next year I'm gonna just buy a new PC. Thanks looks like I'm not gonna be able to hold on to an old computer and expect the latest OS

Sorry to hear of your dilemma. I don't know what you have for a rig, but if it's older, sometimes it gets to a point where it's just not worth dumping money into it. I'm just skating by on a 6 year old rig I have.

BTW, I went through Crucial to upgrade my Mem. I found they wre trustworthy. All went very well.

Even though you may not upgrade to 8, you can still continue to be a member here. Best of luck!

Thanks man. If the ram stick doesn't solve the issue which is should solve its just a sign I need to upgrade to a new computer. The rig I'm using is a dell optiplex gx260 BTW.

Yeah, as others said you need to upgrade your RAM. Windows 8 RTM won't even install with less than 2GB of it. But I recommend you get at least 4GB.
