hi there anyone,

Trying to install windows 8 consumer preview on very common harware.

Phneom II X4 3.2gz, 8800gtx, 4gb ram and 320gb green WD HD with asrock mobo.

I made DVD from ISO, started install and came back to computer this morning showing it could not install, but no error
of any kind, that it put back windows 7.

I chose 'leave nothing' instead of keep files /programs, but still nadda.

Any idea why this is no error ?

I used cheksum, and it came back fine for my 64bit english version.

THanks for any help with this.

If you startup from HDD what happens ?
Please be more specific.

Did you have Windows 7 and installed Windows 8 over it ?
Did you create a separate partition for Windows 8 installation ?

Can you post screenshots ? If yes:
type on command prompt bcdedit and post output.

Hi there and thx for reply,

I think upgrading from windows 7 was the deal breaker,so I backup up all files onto laptop by network connection ( xp pro), and reformmed, and all went smooth.

Go fig.

cheers
