Hi all,
I'm into my 4th hour of trying to clean install W8 Enterprise which originates from TechNet. I must be overlooking something severely or am in lack of general knowledge. But let's assume the latter.
Look at the first screenshot below (taken from a tutorial in here); The second screen in there I do NOT get. Instead there's a message telling that when I want to select partitions etc. (which I need because I'm installing on an existing HDD - meant to dual boot later) that I need to reboot with "the setup disk in the CD Rom drive" (similar). And indeed, this is not what I did; instead I just fired up the install in there (see second screenshot). But :
What I did was unpacking the ISO coming from the Technet download and burned a DVD from it. And this is not bootable ...
Okay, so I burned another DVD with the ISO, assuming that would be a bootable thingy. Sadly it is not either.
Then I created a bootable image through WBICreator which creates an ISO again smoked that to DVD, but to no avail again.
I can't be sure but I guess I never made any bootable CD/DVD from a Technet download; I checked earlier DVDs and they are not bootable either. But point is : I don't receive that second screen fom the first screenshot below. And THIS looks new to me; I just can't get into the partition stuff.
Remember, this is Enterprise (64).
Can anyone provide a solution to my annoying problem please ?
Great thanks in advance,
Peter
