Need more help with Win 8 & 7 dual-boot (UEFI, GPT)

I have recently been struggling since the beginning of the week trying to install an OEM copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit onto my new Acer Aspire V3 laptop which came with Windows 8 64 bit pre-installed.

I made a thread over at Seven Forums: Ordered new laptop with Win 8 but plan to install Win 7 - partitions? - Windows 7 Forums However, I've gotten more and more confused and was advised to come over here to ask for assistance.

Here are the tutorials I have been linked to:
Step 1 to 5 of: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/13326-downgrade-windows-8-windows-7-a.html
Follow: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/2344-dual-boot-installation-windows-8-windows-7-vista.html

My current hard drive setup looks like this:
zfNjE.png

The "Win 7 (E:)" is a new partition I made for Windows 7 to be installed onto. The approximately 21GB recovery partition has been removed in DiskPart.

Disk 1 is the USB flash drive I copied the data from Windows 7 installation disk and rearranged and renamed folders and files according to this tutorial: UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) - Install Windows 7 with - Windows 7 Forums

I have also disabled "Secure Boot" within the BIOS although UEFI is still enabled. I have confirmed that Secure Boot is off by using Windows PowerShell run as administrator and using the line
"confirm-SecureBootUEFI"
Response:
"False"

The hard drive is set up in GPT mode.

I have made:

1. a recovery DVD
2. a recovery drive on a USB

I have not made a system image as I do not possess any storage media large enough to do one.

Every time I've tried to install Windows 7, it either had a 0x0 error (from within Windows 8), could not install with GPT or frozen on the "Windows Starting" logo.

The USB flash drive has been cleaned and formatted with DiskPart. I followed these instructions: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/15458-uefi-bootable-usb-flash-drive-create-windows.html

This post has been referred to me several times: cant install windows 7 in the preinstalled windows 8 laptop - Windows 7 Forums

And as I believe we both share the same Acer BIOS, I fear I'm in the same situation as this guy: GPT Hard drive issues with installing Windows 7 Ultimate.. - Windows 7 Forums

I am really stuck and really tired, frustrated and pretty bored of all this now. I want to keep the pre-installed Windows 8 installation while dual-booting with Windows 7. I don't want to lose Windows 8 as I paid for the Windows 8 licence in the price of the laptop. I'm truly annoyed and I can't budget a new USB HDD in my student loan very easily.

I would very much prefer to use Windows 7 as my primary operating system as I prefer it over Windows 8 and I know that all my programs will run on Windows 7. I don't know how well SolidWorks runs with Windows 8 but even if it's fine with Windows 8 I don't want to use Windows 8! I still want to keep it though - I technically paid for it.

I'm rather desperate for help now!

Edit: more to add:

but when I try to pick my partition I made for Windows 7 it's greyed out where it says next
You not booting the DVD/USB in uEFI mode.

View attachment 249877

Also, I have no boot menu option in UEFI boot


Acer is F12, but check your manual to be sure.


So F12 was disabled in the BIOS I found


I enabled it, then restarted it in UEFI - pressed F12 and selected the USB but it doesn't say UEFI in front of the USB drive.


Select it anyway


"Windows is loading files"
"Starting Windows"


Windows logo freezes and stays frozen

Edit: also tried with just the DVD - DVD drive did not have UEFI in front of it either - froze in the same place. Maybe I did not setup the USB right? I did follow the instructions for UEFI though. Grrr! I'm really hoping that I don't have to result to cleaning the entire HDD and converting to MBR because as I said, I can't keep spending money on this - I don't have an external HDD I can use to image the existing data to.

I don't get this, I've gone back to default settings several times, now, followed by going back, pressing F2 and disabling Secure Boot, while enabling F12 boot - I start up and it goes straight back to Windows 8 log on if I leave it, or if I select F12, I'm still given those 2 options, neither of which has UEFI listed in front of them. I could video record if it helps provide more information this evening if it will assist my assistance otherwise it looks like I'm going to have to back up everything and then clean the HDD turning it to MBR mode!

I believe said the notebook was Acer without looking.
Will your ACER Recovery DVD boot in uEFI mode?

Hi there
I think (although correct me if I'm wrong) that unless you have a UEFI boot you can't boot Windows 7 or earlier from a GPT disk. -- I could be wrong on this one but there are problems I know when booting from GPT disks. No UEFI then no GPT boot.

Also when booting in UEFI mode and disabling secure boot there's often another option in the BIOS which sets the default boot order when secure boot is disabled.

Personally the whole dual booting arena is fraught with problems when using UEFI -- so unless you really need physical hardware for either W7 or W8 why not install EITHER W7 or W8 as your primary OS (your choice) and install the other one as a Virtual machine on vmplayer (free).

The overhead will be fairly small these days and the advantage is you don't have to re-boot when you want to use the other OS. Just power on and shut down the VM when you need to.

Allocate 1 GB RAM - should be enough for a W7 / W8 virtual machine for most purposes.

Note USB drives aren't UEFI enabled -- so you won't see UEFI option on the BIOS against these devices. You CAN boot an OS from this type of device and install to a GPT drive -- just ensure that the OS you are installing supports boot from GPT disks.

You only need to disable the secure boot while installing the OS. S

Secure boot also won't allow (currently) any earlier OS than W8 to boot -- no signature in the BIOS so in any case if you want to dual boot you'll have to turn off secure boot -- not UEFI itself --which is probably fixed in your BIOS.

Hi there

Thanks for the info :
at least we learn something every day -:D- however some BIOS's might not record the USB as being UEFI enabled.

Principle is still the same a SECURE / PROTECTED UEFI boot won't boot earlier OS'es than W8 until signatures are fixed in the BIOS - currently I think only W8 has these although in future things like UBUNTU could have them.

jayrap, did you do the extra step when you set up the flash drive of adding a folder in the EFI folder. A Windows 7 flash drive will not boot UEFI unless you do.

Secure boot or not, you should still have the UEFI option.

Hi there
The secure boot only ensures that Windows 8 currently will boot. For W7 you will have to disable that too.

Secure Boot is disabled and I have tried to follow the Disk data to USB copy and folder moving arounds and renaming e.t.c - I can only try again and hope.

I'm unable to do anything on it now though as I'm still sorting out the networking at home - been drilling holes and nailing clips to Cat5e cable around the house - at least THAT works :p (connection I'm using to my router on my main desktop) - still need to neaten everything and clean up my mess.

Every time I've tried to install Windows 7, it either had a 0x0 error (from within Windows 8), could not install with GPT or frozen on the "Windows Starting" logo.



the above is from an earlier post of yours ,you cant install a duel boot from with in win8, just did a quick read of your info and i think maybe you usb with win7 install on it was not created properly.

I've figured that - I was desperate at that point.

I've re-made the USB earlier - same result.

I have the same problem as above. I have an OEM WIndows 8 pre-installed on a Samsung NP700z5c-S03UK and wanted to install Windows 7 any way I could. I believe I have created a rescue USB correctly on a 16gb USB stick as it seems to boot on the Samsung when pressing F4 however I really don't know if the Samsung is booting from the USB or the existing rescue partition, theres no way of telling that I can see.

I did this first so that I had a path back in case my windows 7 installation went horribly wrong.

I have tried a Windows 7 64bit Home Edition DVD and the ISO was supplied by Microsoft directly. Ive also tried writing a UEFI USB windows 7 install following the links and copying files.

On every attempt to run the installer the computer gets no further than the windows coloured orbs and then freezes the orbs and does no more. If I hit F8 when trying to install Windows 7 and choose safe mode, it always hangs on the disk.sys driver. I have tested the windows 7 install DVD on two other PCs and its fine.

I've tried booting a recent version of Ubuntu 12.10 from a USB stick, a windows XP Pro DVD (admittedly I didnt think this would work), a Ubuntu 10.04 CD ROM (nor this one) and none of them seem to want to fully start or are not recognised at all.

I've disabled the fast BIOS and also the UEFI security and still the same.

I've been on the phone to Samsung 4 time and Microsoft 4 times as they keep bouncing me between each company saying its the others responsibility.

Microsoft told me at some point that the only way this would work is if I fully removed Windows 8 and reformatted the entire drive removing the GPT partitions. If only I could boot into something to allow me to clean down the drive. Any suggestions?

PS. I should mention that the Samsung representative asked me to change the BIOS boot order so that the USB HDD was at the top when trying to recover using F4 and the USB recovery volume. I asked him how we could be sure that it was indeed the USB that it was booting from and he said "look for the LED on the USB stick" of which I had none :) and then he conceded that he didn't know if it was indeed booting from the USB.
