Hi!
Ever since wednesday and the release of the consumer preview have I struggled with getting windows 8 installed. My setup is a Acer Aspisre 6930 with 2 drive bays, I have one SSD of 120GB with my Win7 on it and one HDD with other data and now also a partition of 62GB which I have tried to install Win 8 onto, among other attempts and locations.
Firstly I downloaded the ISO and made a bootable USB, booted from it, or rather tried, but got the message that has followed me throughout these days: BOOTMGR IMAGE IS CORRUPT
As I'm no noob, no major noob a least, I understood that the download could have been corrupted, re-downloaded using both normal download and the win 8 setup downloader that microsoft presented with this release. No luck boooting from USB or from DVD, I get the same message every time. I have tried several different combinations of iso-files, dvds and 3 different USB-sticks.
So I have tried other things, like installing from within Win7, and over Win7 which led to that I managed to format my disk and I had no OS at some point, and no usable recovery image, tho I'm back at Win7 on my SSD now, with a working recovery image.
When I manage to get the installation going of win 8, it goes to the point or restart and then gives me the message I now hate more than anything: BOOTMGR IMAGE IS CORRUPT
Can anybody help me here? Do you need any additional information then I'll provide it quick.... Please help, I would like to install Win 8 on my SSD, but I can live with a dual boot as well....
