hi im new here and not sure if i can join this thread or if should start a new thread so if im in the wrong area please say so. i bought an Acer Aspire One 725-0826 for my girlfriend, it came with windows 8 pre-installed and shes really not liking it. as you probably already know it doesnt come with cd/dvd drive so im trying to install windows 7 ultimate sp1 x64 via usb drive. i've tried several tutorials for both uefi and legacy mode with no luck, legacy mode doesnt detect the sata drive and this is what i get when i try in uefi: Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
To fix the problem:
1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart the computer.
2. Choose your language settings and click next.
3. Click "repair your computer"
file: \efi\microsoft\boot\bcd
status: 0xc000000d
info: an error occurred while attempting to read to boot configuration data.
i noticed some other people were having this same problem when trying to install win7 in uefi mode but i havent found any solution for it. all the tutorials looked promising at first but this is going on week 3 now and im about ready to give up. so frustrating.
any help would be appreciated, thank you
