I have been dual-booting Windows 8 CP with Windows 7 since CP came out. After installing and testing most of my programs I had to give up for now. Windows 8 started locking up and system would freeze. It was working great until last week, but then went South. I did some tests including SFC /SCANNON but everything looked OK. I was also getting a few errors in Event Viewer but nothing serious and these have been going on since initial install. So I decided to kill CP and may just wait until the next version comes out (RC in May?). I used this Tutorial http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/2372-dual-boot-windows-7-windows-8-delete-windows-8-a.html which was so easy it won't be a problem to reinstall Windows 8 again and give it another try. I really liked Windows 8 and looking forward for newer release.
