Enable secureboot while installing Windows 8 x64. if you dont have 64 bit installation media then install with secureboot off.

Looks like a MBR(Master Boot Record) problem. Insert your Windows disk, and Select repair your computer. Windows will identify the presence of any windows operating systems. and writes a new MBR.

Squints, For those who are stuck at booting OS ,your method will be suitable. But formatted my entire HDD. So I cant work it out in your method.But, Thanks for your post.

Yes. I own a hp. While installing Windows 8. It won't ask for any product key. I just asks for activation after installation. The product key might be bundled with the system. You said you purchased it now. So you need to get 64bit Windows installation image or DVD, and not 32bit. Or Else you...

Enable legacy support (An Option which enables to boot Windows DVD with both BIOS and UEFI). Disable secureboot. This helps your BIOS to identify all the hardware s in your notebook without drivers. So continue with Windows installation. Prefer installing through DVD. Because modern notebooks...

There is no need to delete partition. Also Windows installation media doesn't have any option to downgrade. Use a Recovery disk or image that you have created while using Windows7 to recover with Windows Installation DVD/USB. Or else, Format the partition with Windows 8, and install Windows 7...

Just want to know a thing.Windows 8 installed flawlessly even without drivers when UEFI and Secureboot is disabled.But when UEFI and secureboot enabled, Windows needs SATA drivers. What actually a EFI does. Does it show HDD differently to Windows to make it require Driver.

Facing a new issue... "A media driver your computer needs is missing"...UEFI successfully booted my Windows 8 Pro x64 installation disk. While going to make partitions , it showed the above error. Is there really a driver to be installed. I dont know about SATA or IDE etc. and my Bios doesn't...

No I haven't created any Recovery media.:( I thought it wont be necessary. I never knew that my laptop have GPT partition tables ,running over UEFI and EaseUS Partition master is incompatible with it, before this incident. But I have Operating system installation image and a valid product key...

Here is what happened. I bought HP Envy dv6 7201tx (i5,6GB,2GB nVidia,750GB,Win8 Pro) I used EaseUS Partition manager to resize "C:" and create a new partition in my notebook. Unfortunately it failed after restart.:shock: And windows failed to load and UEFI told that boot not found.:confused...
