I have this NUC. Msata and SDD.
I believe it to have been hacked.
MS zero help only wanted money.
Intel sent new device.
Wish to install my 8.1 Pro with my valid product key.
Upon attempting to install Win8.1,with USB media,it would not allow me to install to the Msata stating it was MBR and must be GPT, and after accepting my product key as valid.
I never attempted installing on the SDD.
Followed instructions to reformat and MSata showed a partition remaining of unallocated space.
Then it failed to see my valid product key as valid.
Upon rebooting I've only been able to get to BIOS or the Grub Rescue Command Prompt Screen "file system unknown"
I have typed in the "ls" command and got output.
No attempts to assign have been succesful.
I am unable to install windows on either the msate or sdd. The SDD has no partition showing.
I have tried with:
Msata and SDD installed
Msata removed/SDD installed
Msata installed/SDD removed
I attempted to do so thinking my installation media may now be corrupted although it worked fine prior and was doing fine except when the MBR/GPT issue presented itself.
EDIT: Got my win7 machine fixed after 1.5 years of it being jacked. One of its ram sticks was bad.
So, Any suggestions on how to install 8 in the face of grub rescue?
