I currently have Win 7 Ultimate x64 on my rig, and have acquired Win 8 Pro x64. I've tried too many times now using the Win 7 USB/DVD Tool to create both a USB and DVD to boot and install Win 8. Whatever media I'm using at the time boots into installation just fine, but after the first initial restart during installation, I get hit with the missing winload.exe error (0xc0000428) and flashing screens when I tap any corresponding keys. I have to go back to reinstalling my Win 7. I've tried upgrading over 7, formatting to a clean install, not formatting to a clean install, used both USB and DVD media.. I just don't even know what to do anymore. Should I just try some burning software at a really slow speed and see if that helps? If so, what brand? (I can never seem to find any bootable image files for making the disc bootable, so if you could point me in the right direction...) Also, how in the world do I go about fixing this error? Thanks so much in advance.
