hi guys,
wanted to upgrade Windows 8 Developer Preview to Consumer Preview, so i choose the road to install via setup, directly from MS since i want to keep my second partition alive and only the K partition (where Dev Preview is located on should be used).
Getting: Windows 8 Consumer Preview installation has failed, no code or anything else
Since i previously downloaded the ISO file and burned it to a USB stick, i choose to give it another try with the stick.
Both times after hitting install and at 28%, the message keeps coming in, so i had to abort.
Before installing i checked on the MS site for compability of my Revo 3 X2 drive and that is ok.
The only 2 issues i have where:
Windows essentials
i-tunes
Could it be Consumer Preview looks for the C: partition?
What i fear is that i will have to disonnect the Foremay with the C: partition on, boot from the USB and install over Windows 8 D.P.
Meaning reinstalling all other programs as well.
Any ideas?
thanks
Jeff
