Question about the 8.1 issue with redirected folders.

[h=1]I have been unable to install Windows 8.1 while receiving this error below:

"Sorry, it looks like this PC can't run Windows 8.1. This might be because the Users or Program Files folder is being redirected to another partition."[/h]I have looked through many posts here and most, if not all, of the solutions point towards having previously used Audit mode to redirect your folders. However, I never did this.

What I did do was create another Program Files and (x86) folder on my HDD for the majority of programs and games, while keeping the most used game in the Program Files folder on my SSD. Is this is what is causing my issue?

Additionally, I have created a documents folder on my HDD and pointed to that within my Libraries for my user account. Is it this link that is causing the issue?

I might just be thoroughly confused about the solutions that I have read before. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
