Hi, on my old Win7 system with 3 separate partitions: Win7.64, Win7.32 and Server (+System Reserved) I decided to install Win8 Pro 64 Upgrade.
My default in Boot Manager was Win7.32 but my intended target was partition #2 - Win7.64.
After booting from a Win8.64 CD and a long wait I selected the first option - to preserve settings and was greeted with a message to remove CD and restart installation. I (more or less) did that and the installation proceeded without asking me for a target partition. It seems to have finished but on re-boot at the point when a desktop should be displayed it crashes and re-boots.
Since then I none of my 3 separate copies work. Even after restoring from the system image backup (Win7.64)
I have then tried to install it again, this time selecting Custom (Advanced) option and I WAS asked for the target partition but the end result was the same.
I have since disconnected my external USB drive and disabled my second monitor on the motherboard bu I'm getting nowhere.
Any advice?
Thanks, Karol
