So I have a sata hdd in laptop, no other hdd's.
Booted of usb install media.
Problem is this.
When creating partition instead of auto creating the extra hidden partition it just makes to main windows partition, and then will refuse to install.
I also had another USB install media, from same iso, that would refuse to create GPT partitions, but works fine with MBR. Something is odd with the windows 8 installer. That usb media I cannot use now as I recreated it with GPT which made it work to create secureboot compatible partitions.
This is the error "we couldnt create a new partition or locate an existing one"
