Hello,
I have had Windows 8 installed on VMware from shortly after is was available until now because I feel all the problems that we can read through the forum and on a recent thread. Now I wanted to try the new 8.1. I installed on a new small HD with the Windows 7 Installation disk plugged out. After installing, I reconnected the disconnected disk and rebooted. I started with the BIOS menu (F8 in my case), chose the disk with the new Windows 8.1 installation and off, but the computer started rebooting on Windows 7! I repeated and the same. It never starts where I installed it. I have made many installations and this never happened before. I am probably making a silly mistake that I can't imagine. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong, please?
