I guess I'll try it again

Ok I put the drive into the laptop I'm testing 8.1 on. I went to the boot menu and chose UEFI boot. I was able to get to the Windows 7 installation screen. Of course I tried to do a repair but it gave me some message about this startup repair not being for this version of Windows. So, the drive...

I tried this by doing step 11 and skipping step 11 and I still get the error message regarding BCD 1. Insert your Windows Installation Disc and Restart the Computer 2. Choose Language 3. CLick Repair Info: An error occured while attempting to read the boot configuation data. I guess I'll...

This person forgot their password once, and I had to make a Windows 8 recovery USB. I t hink I'll try to re-format it was a UEFI Windows 7 bootable USB and see what that does.

I was looking at the solution that said use as Windows 7 disc. Like everyone else the Windows 8 USB drive was no use

I still say that a Windows tablet even with only limited PC functionality is still more useful than an iPad and Android. I don't know why people have to have this all or nothing attitude with Windows tablets. Either it does everything you can do on a desktop or laptop or it's useless. If that's...

The only other option when Vista came out was XP. 8 is having to compete with both XP and 7, two OS that people really like. Plus, it's a bigger change from 7 to 8 than from XP to Vista. Plus as bad as the coverage of Vista was, it's worse with 8 and even at times overblown. Ofcourse for a...

I fail to see what any of this has to do with Apple or Linux. People who don't like 8 can easily stick with Windows 7. A lot of people like the OS they have evidence by the way XP is holding on, Windows 8 is a big change for a lot of people. Big change does not go over well in technology. That...

I really don't see why RT tablets can't be a viable option at some point. Are you really able to anything with the other two OS you can't do with RT? Not really. Yes, for the people hoping to replace a laptop or have a laptop alternative, it's not the best option but a lot of people just want a...

I really fail to see how this is supposedly bad news, but I'm not really suprised. The way they do everything in Eurpose is just different than here. We're a lot more whiney and against anything different here.

I always thought this whole patent case was completely stupid. It's the freaking word Sky. If they're going to do that, whatever company put i in front of a product name first should not be able to sue Apple for iPod, iPhone, iPad, iTnes, and iWatch. This is ridiculous. When you think of the...

I still fail to see why MS is held to a different standard than everyone else. I think Microsoft completely mishandled Windows RT and Surface RT, but I don't see why MS is the only company not allowed to make a tablet without full PC capabilities. Yes, the main draw of a Microsoft-based tablet...

I'm not sure I can agree with most of this list. Most of these are mistakes, but not major mistakes in my opinion. Personally, I think there were only two major mistakes. One was the lack of hardware mentioned in the article. The other was the learning curve. These being said you also have to...

This sounds like a sound solution, but it doesn't work for me. The startup repair just goes on forever, and ever, and ever and never does anything. If I don't disable secure boot and EUFI, it doesn't even go all the way into Windows 7 setup. It just sits there at the "Starting Windows" screeen...
