Hi
I successfully managed to create a virtual hard drive on my external drive to try boot windows 8 off it. I managed to boot it up and the login screen also appears as normal. I have a successful login, But on the second time login I am faced with black screen and the cursor. I'm aware that Microsoft has released a fix for this. I have attached the executable in the zip. I tried running this fix but it didn't help . After the black screen appears, even in safe mode I cannot run explorer.exe or open any folder to try running any executable files to fix this problem. Hopefully somebody can direct me where to solve this issue. Thank you
