Hello,
I have DUAL BOOTED Win XP Pro 64 and Windows 8 before with no problem, but I need a redundancy for less downtime, which is where RAID1 comes in...
I've managed to install Windows XP Pro 64 Bit using RAID1 on my system. I made the partition DURING the install of XP. Now I want to DUAL BOOT Win 8 Pro 64, but after I put in the serial key it shows me the two partitions, the XP one and the Unallocated one. When I select the Unallocated one, the message towards the bottom tells me Windows cannot install onto this disk (See details) and when I click on (See Details) it tells me the following:
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. The EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks"
Any Ideas?
